Charlie’s words touched Lady Jenson completely, and she shed tears unknowingly. As her body was already suddenly much younger, she suddenly knelt before Charlie and groveled as she said piously, “Thank you, Benefactor. I will never forget your great kindness!”
Charlie helped her up and said jokingly, “Lady Jenson, you don’t need to thank me. Since you’ve already eaten my Rejuvenating Pill, I will not be returning this Phoenixica bracelet to you, then.”
Lady Jenson quickly waved her hand and said, “I gave that bracelet to you, so I will never ask you to return it even if you didn’t give me this Rejuvenating Pill...”
Charlie said with a smile, “That’d be best. I think it’s about time, so you should hurry up and start packing.”
With that said, Charlie then instructed, “You’d better only bring what you need. You don’t need to bring food, clothing, or supplies, as we will not be able to carry so many things in the car. I’ve already asked my subordinate to prepare all the necessities in Sentermill.”
Lady Jenson nodded repeatedly and said seriously, “I’ll only take my ancestors’ tablets and these three paintings with me...”
After that, she started to pack up immediately.
As the tablets and paintings were of the Jenson family’s ancestors and were of great significance to the Jenson family, Charlie did not intervene.
Lady Jenson put the tablets away carefully in her suitcase and then put the paintings away one by one into scrolls.
When Charlie heard this, he sighed as he thought to himself, ‘The possibility that Master Marcius is still alive is infinitely close to zero. Even if he is the author of the Apocalyptic Book, I’m afraid that he would not have lived until today. It takes much more than just Reiki and pills to be able to live for more than one thousand and five hundred years...’
However, when Charlie saw the old lady’s persistence, he did not say more. He accepted the painting scroll with both hands and said solemnly, “I will accept this painting, then. Don’t worry, I will definitely take good care of it. Please get up quickly!”
Lady Jenson finally heaved a sigh of relief, and only then did she stand up.
At this moment, Jeremy’s voice sounded outside the door. “Oh, you’re our distinguished guest, so why are you standing outside the door? I just hunted two fat pheasants. I will slaughter them to cook them for the two of you now!”
