Chapter 5577


    Although Charlie coveted Maria’s Lightning Strike Wood in his heart, he was really embarrassed to


    ask for it for a while.


    After all, this thing has been treasured by Maria for more than three hundred years, so it must have


    an extraordinary meaning to her.


    However, Charlie knew that there was no need for him to be too anxious.


    In the current situation, even if Maria gave him the lightning strike wood, he would not be able to


    refine it at all.

    So, he looked at her and asked a question that he was very curious about, “Miss Lin, I really want to


    know, how did youe here for more than three hundred years? “Proficient in spiritual energy,


    there is no match for Victoria at all, so I have been running for my life for more than three hundred


    years.”


    Maria said, “But the first two hundred years were fine. It’s not so easy for Victoria to catch me.”


    Speaking of this, Maria tilted her head, recalling, and narrated, “After finishing father’s funeral


    affairs, because of my young age andck of ability,” “I could only live in southern Yunnan’s several


    remote ces for decades,”


    “Because my face was too young, in order not to be suspected, I usually lived in one ce for five


    or eight years, and would change to another ce;”


    “It was also during that period during that time, I fell in love with Pu’er tea;” “During that time, I


    traveled to many ces, and took this opportunity to learn and experiment with Pu’er tea-making


    methods,”


    “And then I lived by the Tianchi Lake in southern Yunnan for several years and taught local tea


    farmers how to make Puer tea better;”


    “After years of fleeing, I had umted some money and learned a lot of experience in life and


    escape,”


    “And stayed by the Tianchi Lake for a few years, and it was time to go, so I left South Yunnan…”


    “Leaving the south of Yunnan, I didn’t dare to go to the maind, so I went all the way south to


    Jiaozhi,”


    “And from Jiaozhi all the way to Nanyang lived in several counties in Nanyang, and finally lived in


    Penang for a while;”


    Later, I went to Brunei, went to Indonesia, and then took a boat from Indonesia to


    India,”


    “And from India to the Ottoman Empire through the Middle East;”


    “After that, the industrial revolution began in Europe, and I was very amazed at that time With their


    rapid development in science and technology and academics,” “I began to travel to various


    European countries and used different identities to study in many universities in Europe


    ; But it didn’t take long before the British invaded China. They began to use the power of the whole


    country to colonize and sell opium all over the world,” “And provoked the first Opium War in China. I


    hated it, so I left Ennd and went to North America by boat;”


    “It’s just that I didn’t adapt to the environment in North America at that time.” “There was no order in


    North America at that time. New people didn’t know the way of harmony.”


    “Everywhere they went, there was blood and chaos, so I went to Japan on a merchant ship after the


    Civil War began;”


    “In the stage of rapid cultural impact and rapid integration, I wanted to see where


    Japan’s national situation would develop,”


    “So I stayed in Japan for a while. Seeing the rapid development of Europe after the Industrial


    Revolution,”


    “And the rapid transformation of Japan after the Meiji Restoration, I really wanted to go back to


    China and do my part for China.”


    “So I went to Hong Kong from Japan, and I did my best to join Xinghua Club;” Charlie was so


    shocked that he couldn’t speak.


    He thought that Maria might have been living in an inessible ce for so many years of fleeing


    to avoid being hunted down,


    But he didn’t expect that she has been walking on the cusp of the whole world. Even in the process


    of escaping, she herself wanted to do her part, Which is highly consistent with her father.


    At this time, Maria continued, “I just arrived in Hong Kong and through some previous rtionships,”


    “They got in touch with the Xinghua Society, but when I was about to meet them,”


    They were ambushed by the dead men from the Warriors Den, and they narrowly escaped death.”


    Just escaped from the tiger’s mouth;”


    Charlie asked her, “Someone leaked the secret at that time?”


    “Yes.” Maria nodded, and said with emotion, “I didn’t know at the time that


    Victoria’s people had already begun to infiltrate.”


    Said, Maria sighed and said again, “After that narrow escape, I realized that Victoria had already


    begun to infiltrate and deploy from Asia to all over the world, so I went to South America;”


    “On the eve of the First World War, I Hearing that Xuantong had abdicated, I was so excited that I


    could not close my eyes for three days, so I ventured back to China;” “After living in Eastcliff for a


    while, I traveled to the north for a while, until Japanunched the 9.18 Incident in the Northeast; “


    After September 18, I felt that the situation in the north had changed suddenly, so I returned to


    Eastcliff again;”


    “After the July 7 Incident in 1937, the Japanese invaded China in an all-round way.


    There were still some children who needed to be taken care of during the war,” “And I couldn’t take


    them to escape the war in the country, so I had to take them to the United States and didn’t leave


    until after the end of World War II;”


    Charlie asked in surprise, “You have been running away all the time. How can there be some


    children to take care of?”


    Maria said seriously, “I fled and traveled around, and it was really hard for one person, sometimes


    identally broke my leg, and there was no one who could give me a sip of water,”


    “Soter, I began to adopt some abandoned babies and disced orphans one after another, then I


    would keep them by my side to raise them, teach them to read and study;”


    “I would take them to and fro together, and those with bad character I would leave some money for


    them and find suitable people to entrust them before leaving the ce;”


    “As for those who stayed by my side because I thought they have no problem with the character,”


    “I will choose to tell them the secret of my immortality at the right time.”


    After all, I had raised them from childhood to adulthood. Even if I didn’t tell them, they would be


    suspicious because my appearance never changed;”


    “I traveled around the world these years, and I had earned a lot of wealth by various opportunities


    and umted a lot of property around the world,”


    “So these children who passed the test, when they grew up, then I would give them some wealth


    and opportunities,”


    “And even hand over some business to them, and over time, it could be regarded as blooming


    everywhere;”


    Charlie asked in amazement, “Are they all your adopted sons and daughters?” “It doesn’t count.”


    Maria shook her head and said, “I didn’t want to be too sad when they die,”


    “So I had never forgotten to establish a clear sense of boundary with them.”


    Charlie was surprised and couldn’t help asking her, “At that time in Northern


    Europe, you were apanied by an old man.”


    “You called him Grandpa in front of me, but he was actually an orphan raised by you, right?”


    Maria smiled slightly. “The old man you are talking about is Mr. Zhang. He is thest abandoned


    baby adopted by me in Eastcliff after the July 7 Incident and before leaving for the United States.”
