Meanwhile, Master Vail’s taxi had arrived at the fork in the road where Don Albert’s subordinate was on duty.

The driver slowed down and pointed to the sign in the middle of the road, informing Master Vail, who sat in the co-pilot seat, “Sir, you can’t go this way.

If you’re heading to Elys-Champ Hot Spring, you’ll have to walk from here.”

Master Vail nodded resentfully and muttered, “Just stop here.

I’ll get off.”

The driver pulled over, Master Vail paid his fare, and stepped out of the car.

Don Albert’s henchman approached him and asked, “Sir, where are you headed?”

Master Vail’s eyes were still red and swollen as he replied dejectedly, “I… I came to see Master Wade…”

Upon hearing this, the henchman realized that this must be the same Mr. Vail that Charlie had mentioned earlier.

Nevertheless, he asked cautiously, “May I know your name, sir?”

Master Vail bowed respectfully and replied, “My name is Maximo Vail…”

The henchman smiled politely, “I’m sorry, Mr. Vail.

This place is currently under renovation and we can’t allow visitors at the moment.”

Master Vail insisted, “Just tell Master Wade that I’m here to see him.”

The henchman shook his head, “I don’t have Master Wade’s contact information, and even if I did, I wouldn’t disclose it.”

Perplexed, Master Vail asked, “Why? Did Mr. Wade specifically ask you not to let me in?”

The henchman chuckled, “I’ll let you figure that one out on your own.”

Observing the henchman’s grin, Master Vail quickly realized that Charlie must have ordered him not to allow him inside.

Though he felt dejected and wished for death, he knew deep down that if Charlie didn’t want him to enter, he wouldn’t be able to, regardless of the young man’s martial skills.

Despite being a four-star warrior himself, he had no choice but to accept the situation and sigh, “I’ll wait for him here, then…”

The henchman shrugged and replied indifferently, “Suit yourself…”

Master Vail walked to the side of the road and searched for some shade.

He sat cross-legged and tried to meditate, not because he genuinely wished to cultivate a peaceful mind, but because his mental state was about to burst.

As he replayed the events of the day in his mind, he felt increasingly despondent and aggrieved, as though he was trapped in a pond of asphalt with no way out.

To cope, he attempted to utilize the Taoist method of controlled breathing, but it was to no avail.
