So, she said without hesitation, “Okay, Mr. Wade. I’ll leave to go over there right now!”
“Okay!” Charlie instructed, “Drive safely.”
After hanging up the phone, Rosalie did not dare to delay and left Shangri-La immediately as she drove toward the suburbs.
Half an hour later, she arrived at the entrance of Charlie’s Champs Elys hot spring villa.
Just as Rosalie was about to get out of the car and ring the doorbell outside the courtyard, the door opened from inside. Charlie appeared at the door and beckoned at her with a somewhat anxious expression.
Rosalie knew that Charlie was asking her to drive her car in directly, so she drove into the courtyard.
As soon as Rosalie got out of the car, Charlie pulled her out of the car to walk inside quickly as he said, “There’s something important that I need your help with. The length of time is not known yet, so we should hurry.”
Rosalie felt a little shy being pulled by Charlie so hastily. She secretly wondered, ‘Could it be that Mr. Wade wants to… Oh, Rosalie, what are you thinking about?!’
She did not know what Charlie wanted her to do, but she could not stop her thoughts from running wild. She felt that she would not hesitate at all no matter what Charlie asked her to do, even if he made any excessive demands.
What Charlie was thinking about at this time was the golden Healing Pills that he had just refined half an hour ago.
Charlie pursed his lips and said hesitantly, “Yes, and also no. I already took one of the pills just now, but I can’t judge it accurately, so I want you to try it for me.”
Rosalie hurriedly said, “Mr. Wade, I’ve already taken quite a few of your priceless pills, and I even became a five-star martial artist not long ago. How can I waste your pill now?”
Charlie said with a serious expression, “These pills are refined to be eaten by people. As long as it is eaten, there’s no such thing as wasting it or not. What’s more, this is not a matter of you owing me a favor. Instead, I’m the one asking for your help now. I’ve already developed a resistance to this kind of pill, so I can’t tell if there are any real effects even after I take these pills now. I want to know whether it has any effect and how much of an effect it has, so I have to let a martial artist try it out to know its potency. You are also the martial artist that I trust the most, so I can only ask you to come over to help me try it out.”
Charlie knew that Rosalie did not know that he had a new medicine cauldron nor did she know that the medicinal effect of this pill was much stronger compared to the previous Healing Pill, so he deliberately said, “What’s more, whether the pill is effective or not is another matter, but you might get implicated if it has any side effects. However, you don’t have to worry about it because I’ll be by your side to protect you.”
When Rosalie heard this, she quickly expressed herself without hesitation, “Mr. Wade, I’m not afraid with you around!”
