To Live an Eternal Life

Chapter 6: Three Years



"Master, what are you laughing at?" Samuel was confused.

"Nothing. I just remembered some of the past." Charlie waved his hand and sighed.

Thousands of years ago, he also suffered immortals catastrophe and became a weak ordinary person. By chance, he met Xiang Yu. They two hit off with each other. Soon they became friends.

Later, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang conspired together. Charlie disliked First Emperor of Qin because First Emperor of Qin had coveted his secret to live so long, so he did not stop them from destroying Qin dynasty. During this period, Charlie taught Xiang Yuand Liu Bang about martial art. He personally created a set of "Tiger Knuckle Fist" for Xiang Yu, but he did not expect it would continue to now.

Just now what Caitlin practiced was Tiger Knuckle Fist. No wonder Charlie felt it familiar. Could he not be familiar with what he created?

But...

"Tiger Knuckle Fist looks fierce, but in many places you should reveal its softness, which is paying attention to both fierceness and softness. You only pay attention to the fierceness of Tiger Knuckle Fist. It seems that you really do a good job, but in fact you're far from to master it!"

Since they were Xiang Yu's descendant, Charlie was willing to teach them.

"See me how to practice it!"

After saying that, Charlie's breath became fierce. He waved his fists. Every punch he hit was mixed with the sound of wind howls. However, some adepts could quickly find some rules in it.

Charlie was not blindly fierce. His line, pace, and changes in his punches all revealed agility and ingenuity. This was the "soft" characteristic contained in Tiger Knuckle Fist.

"This..."

Just when Charlie showed the first punch, Samuel was already shocked. The more he observed, the more shocked he felt.

It wasn't until Charlie finished that he sighed deeply and folded his hands, saying, "Master, you deserve to be martial master. You're so awesome. You just looked at Caitlin's punching for a while, but you can master the essence of Tiger Knuckle Fist. It's really awesome!"

"Caitlin, cough, cough... It is your great honor that Master is willing to show Tiger Knuckle Fist for you personally. Thank him quickly."

Just now, when Charlie used a leaf to hit people, Caitlin just pretended to respect him. But in fact, she still somewhat distained. Now she was completely convinced.

"Thank you, Master. I offended you just now. Please forgive me again."

Charlie laughed, and then changed the topic, "Sir, if I guess right, you used your strength overmuch in the past, so your heart veins was hurt. There was no problem when you were young, but now you are old. Maybe..."

"Master, you're right. Please save my Grandpa." Caitlin found Charlie saw through the truth at a glance. She was surprised and delighted to plead.

Samuel was also full of expectation and nodded heavily, "When I was young, I fought on the battlefield. One time our regiment was trapped by the enemy. In order to cover our commander's departure, I used a high-intensity Tiger Knuckle Fist to fight enemies. Then it hurt my heart veins."

"You were a soldier!"

Charlie was in awe. Even if he was a immortals, he was full of respect for the soldiers who defended their home and the country.

"Master, for the sake of my grandfather's battle for the country back then, please save him." Tears filled in Caitlin's eyes, which looked pitiful.

"Fine, I..."

Charlieglanced at his watch inadvertently, and suddenly shouted, "Oh, the time is almost up. I have to go now. It's a bit urgent."

"Master, my Grandpa..."

"Don't worry. I will come here tomorrow. I'm very sorry. I have an important urgent matter now." Charlie waved his hand and left in hurry, which didn't look like a martial master at all. "Master, I still don't know your name."

"Charlie!"

Samuel whispered the name secretly many times, but still had no impression. He guessed that Charlie should be the newly promoted martial master. So fewer people knew Charlie. Charlie took a taxi and hurried to the Hunt Group.

"God!"

Looking at the watch, Charlie panted, "Fortunately, it's not late."

After buying two bottles of water at a roadside convenience store, Charlie walked to a secluded side street opposite the Hunt Group and handed a bottle of water to the cleaning staff who was sweeping the street.

"Three minutes late today?"

"Something trapped me!"

Charlie and the cleaning staff sat down. Charlie passed a cigarette to the cleaning staff. At some point, as a immortals, he also fell in love with the smell of cigarettes.

Lit.

When the cigarette was lit, the smoke rose.

The old man squinted and said, "It's been three years. Every day, you come here on time. You can't keep on going like this. When will you show up to pick her up to get off work?" After taking a sip, Charlie smiled and shook his head, "The time has not yet arrived."

Katherine got off the work at five.

Charlie would appear here at 4:50 every day, watching Katherine appear at the door of the company. Then Charlie would not leave until she got into the car.

For three years, Charlie would be like this every day no matter what the weather was like.

Accompanying him was the old man who swept the street here every day. So the two have become friends.

"She's coming."

The old man said and looked at Charlie again. He didn't know the identity of Charlie, but he had already guessed a little after he had been in contact with Charlie for the past few years. "Young man, I don't think you are an ordinary person. Sometimes you should be a little brave. Just say what you want to say and do what you want to do. You're just in your twenties, but why are you so hesitating?"

"Why am I not an ordinary person?" Charlie asked with a smile.

The old man glanced at him. He had been cleaning the nearby streets for decades. He had seen all kinds of people. So he was good at observing people.

"With so much humiliation and ridicule, ordinary people have long collapsed."

Collapse?

Katherine, a young girl, was at her most shining, youthful, and beautiful age. She should have been full of longing for the future. But suddenly, she had to get married with such a wimp, which broke all her beautiful fancies.

She hadn't collapsed. So what qualifications did he have to collapse?

"She bears more than me!"

Charlie turned around and found that Katherine had been seated in the dilapidated Toyota. Then he said, "One more?"

"No," the old man laughed, stood up and shook his head, "I'm getting older. Smoking too much is bad for health. I still want to work for a few more years to make some living expenses for my son." Charlie shrugged and hailed a tricycle on the side of the road.

In the Toyota, Katherine saw tricycle leave from the rearview mirror. After five minutes, she drove away.

For three years, Charlie would come here to wait for Katherine to get off the work every day.

Katherine would also wait for Charlie to leave before she left.

Back home, Axel told Spencer about what happened at the meeting, which made Spencer almost crazy. She pointed at Katherine's nose and scolded.

"Are you insane? Why did you accept such an impossible task?"

"Ewan just wanted to incite you. Are you out of your mind? You even step into his trap. How did I give birth to such a stupid daughter?"

After scolding, Spencer sat on the floor, crying again, "If you leave the company, your useless father will be kicked out of the company in a few days. By that time, our family will not be able to get any property when Old Lady Hunt dies !"

"My life is really hard!"

"I haven't had a good day since I married your Dad. Now I may lose the last bit of hope to be wealthy. I was so stupid that I actually married into the Hunt Family. What should I do now?" Charlie was cooking in the kitchen. Hearing the noise in the living room, he couldn't help but walk out, "Mom, don't cry. I believe Katherine can do it!"

"Shut up!"

Spencer glared at Charlie and scolded, "You bring us bad luck. You ruined our family. My daughter is so beautiful and could have married into a wealthy family. It's all your faults. What rights do you have to speak here?"

"Mom..."

"And you," Spencer had lost her mind. Her voice was sharp, "Why are you so stupid like him?"

Katherine bit her red lips, tears filling in her eyes, "Mom, you don't believe me so much?"

"How do I believe you? First-class families and companies were driven out. the Hunt Family is just a second-class family, and it is still at the end of the ranking. You may not even be able to enter the gate of Chengyu Group!"

Katherine was actually very worried. She looked at Charlie and asked, "Can I... trust you?"

"What did you say?"

Spencer glared at Charlie. Her face was pale, "Is this trash who let you agree?!"

"You! You want to destroy our family? We have raised you for three years. Unexpectedly, you want to ruin us. You're really ungrateful!"

Axel's face looked extremely terrible. He asked, "Katherine, what is going on?"

"Nothing. This has nothing to do with Charlie!"

"You think we are fools? Even now, you're still defending this trash. I think you have been fascinated by this trash."

After scolding, an idea popped into Spencer's mind, "Katherine, and you, Axel, immediately go to beg Old Lady Hunt. Just say that you don't want to keep that bet. You are her granddaughter after all. Beg her. Maybe she will come forward to mediate."

"Stop arguing!"

Katherine stomped, "I won't go to my Grandma. Besides, it's useless to beg her. She must be biased to Ewan. I will finish the task. Tomorrow morning, I will go to Chengyu Group."

Bang!

After speaking, the door was slammed close suddenly.

After this happened, no one had the mood to eat. Charlie cleaned up in the kitchen. After freshening up, he entered Katherine's bedroom.

Katherine was sleeping on the bed, and he was sleeping on the floor.

This had been the case for three years.

The room was quiet. Only Katherine's irregular breathing could be heard. Charlie knew that she was not asleep. After hesitating for a while, he said, "Thank you for trusting me."

"I just don't want to lose to Ewan!"

Katherine turned her back to Charlie, wiping off tears secretly. She choked with sobs slightly, "Are you sure I can really win the bid?"

"Definitely."

"Why?"

"Because..." Charlie paused and said perfunctorily, "The manager of Chengyu Group in charge of this project is a classmate of mine. Our relationship is very good. I have already talked to him on the phone. Tomorrow, after you arrive at the company, you can get the contract!"

The room became so quiet.

"Well, don't come to the company to wait for me in the future."

Charlie felt very surprised. He didn't expect Katherine to know about it.

"Okay, I understand."

There was no sound again. The room fell silent.

This silent and dark environment had lasted for three years. Charlie had long been used to it. He turned around to go to sleep. But at this moment, a soft word sounded in his ears.

"Pick me up at the gate of the company."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
