Chapter 03

Author: Lord Leaf
The next morning, after preparing breakfast, Charlie rode his scooter to Emgrand Group’s office.

He parked his scooter on the side of Emgrand’s parking lot. As soon as he locked his scooter, a black Bentley slowly parked in a spot across from him.

He looked up inadvertently and saw a young couple getting out of the car.

The man was wearing a branded suit, looking very handsome and smart. Meanwhile, the lady was dressed up in a flamboyant style. Although somewhat gaudy, she was considered a beauty.

As it turned out, the lady was Wendy Wilson, Claire’s cousin, and the man was her fiancé, Gerald White.

Charlie didn’t know why they were here, but he knew that the best way to avoid trouble was to stay away from them.

However, the more eager he wanted to hide from them, the higher chances they would see him.

Wendy caught sight of him from the corner of her eyes. She yelped loudly, “Hey, Charlie!”

Wendy called out his name in a friendly manner, but Charlie felt goosebumps all over his back.

Out of courtesy, he could only stop where he was and wait for them to approach him. He smiled and asked, “Wendy, hey, why are you here?”

Wendy chuckled. “Oh, Gerald is here to see Doris Young, vice-chairman of Emgrand Group! I’m here to keep him company.”

Then she turned to look at Gerald with affection and said, “The White family has a lot of projects with Emgrand Group. Not only would it help the White family but also our Wilson family in the future.”

Charlie didn’t know that the White family was one of Emgrand Group’s business partners. After all, he had just taken over the company and he hadn’t had time to get through the details.

He didn’t show anything unusual on his face. Instead, he simply said with a polite smile, “Mr. White is very talented and magnificent, both of you make a great couple!”

Gerald glared at Charlie contemptuously, feeling a surge of anger within him.

This loser had been scolded so badly by Lady Wilson yesterday in front of everybody, how was he able to smile like a clown as if nothing had happened today?

Why did Claire, such a stunning and wonderful lady, marry such a loser?

If this loser never existed, he would certainly have pursued Claire with great effort! Who would want to be engaged to Wendy, the girl who paled in comparison in every aspect?

Gerald huffed a breath in dismay and asked in a pretentious tone, “Why are you here?”

Charlie casually said, “I’m here to apply for a job.”

“Apply for a job?” Gerald sneered disdainfully. “You? The loser who can’t do anything wants to apply for a job at Emgrand? Are you kidding me?”

Charlie frowned. “What has it to do with you?”

The reason why Wendy called Charlie in the first place was to humiliate him. Now that Gerald had started, she immediately mocked, “Why? Gerald is right, isn’t he?”

“In terms of educational background, do you have any diplomas?”

“In terms of skills and abilities, do you have any achievements or results to show them?”

“Trust me, they wouldn’t even entertain a loser like you even if you’ve come to apply for a security job. Know your place, you’re better off going to the streets to scavenge for trash, you might earn two or three thousand a month at least!”

Then, she hurled a water bottle to Charlie’s feet and smirked, “There you go, pick it up and sell it for money! Don’t say that I don’t care about you.”

Gerald laughed sinisterly. “You are a piece of trash, but, we’re still relatives after all. I’ll have your back. It happens that I know the vice-chairman of the Emgrand Group in person, why don’t I say a few good words on your behalf and see if she can arrange a toilet cleaning job for you?”

Charlie curled his lips into a cold sneer and said, “What kind of job I’m applying for is none of your business, you should mind your own business instead. Emgrand Group is a big company, I believe they wouldn’t want to collaborate with lowly garbage like you.”

Gerald’s face flushed with anger. “Who are you calling garbage?”

Charlie replied disdainfully, “You, garbage!”

Then, he turned and walked towards the building, ignoring Gerald’s indignant screams behind.

“D*mn you! Stop! Stop right there, do you hear me?”

Very soon, Gerald strode quickly and caught up with Charlie at the elevator hall.

He wanted to teach Charlie a lesson, to give him at least two slaps on his face to let him know the consequences of offending him, but they were inside Emgrand Group’s building now. He was worried that the harsh action would tarnish his reputation and infuriate his business partner, so he had no choice but to dismiss the idea.

He gritted his teeth and warned, “I’ll let you go today, but you won’t be so lucky next time!”

Charlie snorted and walked into the elevator. Before the door closed, he said, “Gerald White, do you really think you’re so powerful? Trust me, you will soon know the price to pay for being so cocky and arrogant!”

“You little…”

Gerald’s face turned into an ugly shade of red. He wanted to rush into the elevator but Wendy pulled his arms and said, “Gerald, don’t take the same elevator as that loser, we might suffocate from his stench.”

He nodded, fully aware that it wasn’t wise for him to lay his hands here. Hence, he snorted coldly. “Huh, you’re lucky today. I’ll teach you a lesson next time!”

***

In the elevator, Charlie went directly to the top floor where the chairman’s office was located.

Stephen had already made all the arrangements for him here at Emgrand. The person in charge of the arrangements was a woman named Doris Young.

Doris Young had earned her reputation as a renowned businesswoman in Aurous Hill. Not only was she a charming lady, but she was also extremely capable. She had been promoted to vice-chairman of the Emgrand Group at a young age. She was also among the factors behind the success of the company today.

Now that Emgrand Group had been acquired by the Wade family, the former chairman had abdicated and Doris stayed back to assist the new chairman.

Doris was quite shocked when she first saw Charlie. She didn’t expect to see such a young and charming man when she heard about him from Stephen!

She quickly composed herself and greeted him respectfully. “Welcome, Mr. Wade. Please follow me to my office.”

    That was why the Qing Eliminating Society was very careful about distributing the antidote, in fear that it would be taken by others.They were worried that the recipients would not take it, instead saving it and giving it off, going against their duty and hurting the Qing Eliminating Society's interests.It was not like they were being paranoid either, as it was a lesson learned from experience.For the dead soldiers who had been oppressed over centuries, it was a dream that one of them found freedom—even if hundreds died for it, by giving their pills to that one person.As each of them took one pill that kept them alive for seven days, hundreds of pills meant thousands of days.That meant years, if not over a decade.It wouldn't be long enough for them to plan and carry out a vendetta against the Qing Eliminating Society, but it was still enough time for them to flourish where the Qing Eliminating Society wouldn't find them.As their children flourished, they carried the weigh

    The four Scholars including Rachel were left gaping as Yani took out the plaque.The Dragon Bronze Plague was an artifact passed down for at least 400 years, and it was polished to be as reflective as a mirror.There were hidden inscriptions used by the Qing Eliminating Society on the front and sides that served as a form of braille, a unique language of its own. The Hubbertians were all taught and knew how to decode the inscription, and only they could see which governorate it belonged to, and the rank of the person holding it.As one of the Qing Eliminating Society's most precious tokens, most Scholars only knew it existed but never saw one.That was why Rachel and the others were left gaping, as they didn't expect to have the privilege of seeing one.For Rachel's part, she didn't think that riding on Charlie's coattails led to the Left Military Governorate bestowing something this important to her—it was nothing she could ever imagine.Even as she was left stunned, Yani told

    Rachel naturally never expected the privilege of such proportions, and was in her room studying when a Praetor knocked on her door.A dorm mate of hers—a fellow Scholar—answered the door. Not recognizing the Praetor, she asked in confusion, "Looking for someone?"However, the Praetor strode in directly before the Scholar could reach her, and she felt herself being shoved away as if repelled by a magnetic field.Knowing right away that the other woman was someone important from the governorate, the Scholar tensed up right then and closed the door behind the Praetor.Then, dropping one knee, she greeted the Praetor reverently, "My Lady." The other two Scholars who were reading in the living room sprang up like startled birds right then, both of them quickly mimicking their fellow Scholar as they knelt before the Praetor in greeting.After all, every Scholar understood that the Praetor was high-ranking enough that they must be greeted with reverence as soon as they arrived behind

    Tensions in the Middle East escalated over the next four days, with oil prices shooting up by thirty percent, no thanks to the Rothschilds' machinations—a near-historical rate of inflation.Naturally, that meant Esteban had made a fortune. When the price inflated, he stocked up and sold all the crude oil he had privately mined and purchased from the Gettys earlier, selling it all back to the Gettys.None of his ships even made port, but he made dozens of millions in profit from the inflated price, making him a lot of money.And once he got the money, he promptly sent two rewards to Rachel.The first was a simple cash gift of five million USD, while the other was a Dragon Bronze Plaque.The governorates worked like the feudal systems of old. To maintain absolute control over the Scholars, armed cavalry guards and death soldiers in each governorate, each governorate had their own private military force in the Hubbertian Battalion.They were technically not affiliated to any governo

    The Rothschilds had already sent their Washington-based lobbyists to the White House.As the family preferred to keep things quiet with whatever they did, their direct associates and publicly acknowledged executives rarely reached out to officials directly. Instead, they had lobbyists they groomed meticulously, who held staff positions in the White House.While they were clerks, assistants, or deputy heads of departments in the building, they had a job in name only. Instead, their main tasks were to facilitate communications between the Rothschilds and any high-ranking official as required, or confer with the president as a spokesperson for the family if necessary.The man spent his weekdays staying in the building on the second floor—his primary residence. Since he was around in the evening, most of the White House staff would work late into the night, including the Rothschilds' lobbyists.Once Steve made his phone call, the lobbyists immediately headed to the president's private

    Despite Charlie's mind trick, Horus frowned at his question and had to think for a long while."Apologies, sir," he eventually replied respectfully. "We are talking about over ten thousand dead soldiers in each base, and every individual who was put through the transition will be cut off completely from their families. "Only the respective governors can possibly reverse the transition. But with almost every department having to work together to regulate the movements, it simply draws too much attention and Lord Griffin would inevitably notice."Knowing that Horus couldn't lie, Charlie was hence convinced that any effort to reverse the transition and reunite thousands of families would cause too many problems, if not downright drawing Fleur's attention.That meant he had to give up on saving all the armed cavalry guards and death soldiers for the time being.On another note, he had no reason to keep prying into the Left Military Governorate's affairs for now. Instead, he would hav

    "What?" Charlie retorted. "You want me to be fair, don't you? In that case, I need to be fair too! I need to ask you to be fair to those whom you have been treated unfairly. Why don't you accept it?"He then turned to Porter and added, "Oh, by the way, Porter, while you're investigating Tody's histor

    The skinny man soon realized that it was Charlie, who wore a cold expression, who was standing in front of him. He was taken aback but didn't feel anything out of the ordinary. He grinned obscenely, "Hey, cutie. You can't wait for a second round, huh?" With a flat smile, Charlie grabbed Dean up from

    Jacob said unhappily, “Of course, I'm not clumsy. It’s not as if you don’t know about my financial situation. Elaine handles all the money at home, and I can barely save a few thousand dollars. So, no matter what antique I'm looking at, I'm always extremely cautious. I'm afraid of dropping, touching

    At the same time, Charlie drove the inconspicuous Chevrolet, carrying the nervous Angus, to the outskirts of Zano Manor. From the outside, they could see that Zano Manor was very lively at the moment. The entire estate was brightly lit with a large number of mafia members in black suits standing str
