The crowd believed Charlie and all of them really wanted to go home to check out the sports channel immediately.The expression on Mr. Quinton’s face was hideous right then, and after keeping silent for a short while, he finally regained his senses.This was embarrassing!The bodyguards he had hired and paid so much money for were all professional fighters that he had specifically recruited to protect him. Who would have expected…Who would have expected a young boy who came from nowhere to actually defeat all of these professional fighters, just by watching a television program?Mr. Quinton was not a professional fighter, and so, he did not know that Charlie was actually very skillful. However, his bodyguards were not stupid.They knew that he was an expert as soon as he laid hands on them.Even though Charlie was very humble, his moves were very deadly even when he did not use any strength at all.He was not someone they could easily defeat.Hence, the bodyguards did not ste
”Too weak!”Charlie became furious and moved aside in an instant as he tried to avoid her kick. After that, he lifted his leg and kicked Aurora straight on her ass, causing her to fall to the ground.Adam’s jaw almost dropped to the ground as he stared at the scene before him. He muttered to himself, “This… how could this be possible?!”Aurora was feeling even more embarrassed. Ever since she had started fighting, she had never felt more humiliated than this. Moreover, the spot that Charlie had kicked her on was way too embarrassing!Filled with anger as she stood up, Aurora prepared to rush toward Charlie and attack him immediately. She had already decided that this b*stard would definitely pay the price for his actions today!“Aurora, stop what you are doing! Do not be rude to Mr. Wade.”Just then, a middle-aged man suddenly ran up to her and grabbed hold of Aurora’s hand.Aurora, still utterly embarrassed, yelled, “Dad! Get out of my way! I’m going to kill him!”‘How dare he
Graham was startled by Charlie’s words.His whole family would be ruined?Did he really have to pay such a huge price?Graham turned pale before he sighed and said, “I have never done any bad deeds in my life. I’ve tried to do good deeds and help the people in need every day. So, how did I end up in this state?”Charlie smiled before he asked, “Was this the reason why you wanted to buy that piece of topaz previously?”Graham nodded. In fact, he had already tried all sorts of different methods, but none of it seemed to work until he met Charlie.Previously, he thought that Charlie only knew how to appraise antiques, and so, he had not paid much attention to him.However, today, Charlie had actually pointed out the reason for their misfortunes without any hesitation. Now, Graham knew that Charlie was not an ordinary person at all. In fact, Charlie might be their only hope, and the fate of the Quinton family was in his hands.Graham quickly clasped his hands together as he pleaded
Charlie’s father-in-law was also feeling dumbfounded. This was the first time that he had ever encountered such an unexpected situation in his life.Charlie looked at the jade bracelet but did not accept it immediately. After glancing at it, he looked at Graham before he smiled and said, “Mr. Quinton, how can you be so sure that I will be able to resolve this matter for you?”Graham replied piously, “If Mr. Wade has no way to deal with it, no one else in this world will be able to handle this matter anymore!”Charlie could only smile because Graham was right. He indeed knew how to resolve this matter and divert the misfortune away from the Quinton family.This was because he had already read about this evil spirit in the , and the method to resolve this issue was actually very clear and simple.Charlie glanced at the jade bracelet before he took it in his hands in a casual manner.He examined the jade bracelet and realized that the crystal was really very clear
Graham smiled before he spoke again respectfully, “Mr. Wade, we will never forget your kindness toward the Quinton family. It might be a little rushed today as we did not have any time to make any preparations at all, however, I would like to invite you to the Quinton family mansion for dinner tomorrow. I would like to host a banquet to personally thank you for your kindness, Mr. Wade.”“It’s okay, I have something on tomorrow.” Charlie replied indifferently as he shook his head. “The only reason why I helped you today is because I know that you have always done a lot of good deeds for others. Otherwise, I would not have helped you at all. Do you understand what I am saying?”Graham was taken aback at this. Still, he laughed before nodding. “I understand! Mr. Wade, please do not hesitate to come and look for me if you need any help in the future. The Quinton family will always welcome you.”After that, Graham hurriedly took out a gold-plated business card that contained his personal
After a while, Charlie felt a burst of energy surging through his body as if stimulating all of his senses, bones, and blood.It was Reiki!When he looked at the stone again, Charlie found that the stone seemed to be absorbing all the spiritual energy that it didn’t look any different from a normal lifeless stone.He tried to perform the cultivation method recorded in the “Apocalyptic Book” but he couldn’t extract the Reiki from the stone anymore.Dejected, he put the stone back in his pocket. Intuitively, he felt that the stone was extraordinary, but he had no way to examine it now. It seemed that he had to sharpen his skills first before he could work on the stone again.He hurried to take a bath as he was sticky from the profuse sweating. It was already over 5 pm when he finished the bath, and that’s when Claire called him.On the phone, Claire told Charlie that she was in the middle of the meeting with the Emgrand Group about the project details and that she didn’t drive toda
Charlie heard the rustling footsteps coming from behind him. He stealthily looked at the glass window with the corner of his eyes and discovered that Loreen was following behind him!Oh, shoot!If Loreen saw him here, she would have thought that he was the chairman of the Emgrand Group!Worse, she might even connect the dots and know that he was the young master of the Wade family!It was indeed very bad!As Loreen was about to catch up with him, he walked faster, entered the chairman’s office, and quickly locked the door behind him.Never did Loreen expect that the man would suddenly speed up. When she wanted to pursue him, he was already in the office.Loreen sighed in disappointment and muttered under her breath, “That’s weird, why do I feel like the chairman is running away from me on purpose…”She refused to give up on such a golden opportunity just yet. She took a deep breath, went to knock on the door, and said, “Hello, Mr. Chairman, I’m Loreen Thomas, the new administra
Loreen immediately went to Doris’s office when she received the call. Charlie grabbed the chance and quickly went downstairs.He saw Claire walking out, looking worn out and weary, as soon as he reached his car.She was exhausted from the heavy workload of the hotel project. She said helplessly, “I have too much work on my hands, 24 hours are not enough.”Charlie said heavy-heartedly, “How about dividing some of the works to other people? Or maybe just don’t do it.”“No way,” Claire said, “I was appointed as the director only recently, I need to work hard to strengthen and solidify my foundation at the company, otherwise, my cousin will swoop in whenever he sees a chance.”Claire was extremely annoyed when Harold’s disgusting look appeared in her mind. The bothersome man kept going against her and always did things detrimental and inimical.On the way home, Claire closed her eyes to rest while Charlie focused on driving without disturbing her.***Meanwhile, in Doris’s office.
With a faint smile, Helena said, "Maybe it's for your sake that Mr. Wade saved your father. After all, you are his friend. It's normal for him to help his friend's sick father, isn't it?" Julie was like a bear with a sore head. Shaking and pointing at Helena with trembling fingers, he roared, "I would have believed it had it been anyone else, but I don't believe Charlie! I'm sure he was the reason why my dad had a stroke!" Helena smiled and said, "As an objective third party, I don't think there's anything wrong with Mr. Wade. The main reason your father had a stroke was because the Four-Sided Treasure Tower suddenly returned to Oskia. But if I remember correctly, you were the one who sent the tower out of New York, right?" Julien was so shocked that the blood drained from his face. He quickly waved his hands, panicked, and whispered, "Your Majesty, you must not say that!" Helena shrugged slightly and said, "Am I wrong? I seem to remember that it was your helicopter that carrie
Julien was completely overwhelmed at this moment, but Harrison, having already heard Helena speak highly of Julien, felt a mix of gratitude and guilt toward him. He didn't suspect that Julien harbored any rebellious thoughts. Seeing Julien looking completely devastated, Harrison thought Julien was simply too emotional. He quickly stepped forward, gave him a hug, and patted his shoulder, beaming, "My good son, thank you! Thank you for everything you've done for me!" Julien, being hugged by Harrison, leaned on Harrison's shoulder and looked at Helena with red eyes, his eyes full of doubt. With a faint smile, Helena said, "Mr. Rothschild, I'll take my leave now so as not to interrupt your sweet moment with your son. I have some other business to tend to." "Come on, Julien. See Her Majesty off!" Harrison instantly urged. Julien thought, 'Oh, great! I was just looking for an opportunity to ask her what's going on!' Hence, he quickly replied, "Okay, Dad! I'll see Her Majesty off.
'Even if he actively participated in the best rehabilitation in the world, he would only be able to recover slightly better than he is now. It would be God's blessing if he could recover to the point where he could walk with crutches!' As he thought of this, Julien turned his head to look at the attending physician, his face full of confusion and bewilderment. In fact, the attending physician was even more baffled. He felt as if his whole brain and spine had been fried at the same time. He felt as if all his years of medical training had been for nothing. In his whole career, over half a lifetime in medicine, he had never seen someone just recover from a stroke and immediately get up and walk around effortlessly. More importantly, Harrison was now politely chatting with the queen, gesturing animatedly, speaking fluently, and looking full of energy—more lively than even he was! All the doctor could do was nudge his glasses, astonished, confused, yet delighted, exclaiming
After confirming the receipt of 20 billion dollars, Helena smiled at Harrison and said, "I've received the money, Mr. Rothschild. Thank you for your generous payment. It's been a pleasure working with you. I'll be returning to Northern Europe in a couple of days, and I hope your AI team will arrive there at the same time." "Of course, Your Majesty!" Harrison immediately responded. "I'll have them prepare right away and head over as soon as possible to take care of the preliminary planning and arrangements." While Helena was successfully selling the Healing Pill for 60 billion dollars plus a set of AI models, Julien, who was 20 meters away from the door, and Royce, who had just arrived, anxiously watched the time. In his view, the meeting between Harrison and Helena was taking a bit too long. It wasn't that he had any objection to their meeting. He was just worried it might delay the upcoming family meeting. After all, the meeting was set to start promptly at ten, and that mome
Helena waved her hand dismissively. "You don't have to. As you mentioned, procuring the hardware for the AI models comes with its own costs. I'd rather take a loss myself than let you suffer. After all, you're already of such an age, and having had a stroke once before. If you end up losing something and it affects your mood, leading to a relapse, wouldn't that make me the bad guy?" "No, no, no!" Harrison, ignoring the subtle mockery, hurried over to Helena with great urgency and reassured, almost desperately, "Buying the hardware for Your Majesty is something we should do. Please accept it." As he said it, he lamented with regret, "Your Highness, I'm old, and my mindset is molded in the conservative mode because of decades of experience, and bargaining is one of them. Nevertheless, please rest assured that we will never again bargain when doing business with you." After experiencing the powerful effect of the Healing Pill, Harrison keenly realized that the pill must be a life-sa
Harrison immediately caught the implication in her words and, with a smile, said, "Your Majesty, you are truly a brilliant negotiator. I've never seen someone so young yet able to control the pace of negotiations so skillfully! With you at the helm, the Nordic royal family is sure to soar to new heights!" Helena smiled and said, "You think too highly of me. I can control the rhythm well because I have a good mentor." "I wonder who your mentor is?" Harrison asked curiously. "I would like to meet him if there is a chance." Helena said lightly, "My mentor prefers to act with a low profile and isn't fond of the vanity that comes with fame, but I believe that you will have the opportunity to meet him in the future." "That would be wonderful!" Harrison replied with a beam. Helena then said, "It's getting late. I'll take my leave now." Harrison nodded. As he saw Helena turn to leave, he remembered something and hurriedly called after her, "Hold on, Your Majesty!" "Yes, Mr. Roths
Seeing Harrison with his head down in deep thought, Helena knew he definitely wouldn't follow the original plan to pass the position of family head to Julien. Sure enough, Harrison lifted his head with a chuckle and said, "Your Majesty, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come to New York and attend my family meeting to establish the heir. Your presence truly brings us great honor!" Feigning a surprised expression, Helena asked, "Aren't we going to announce Julien's succession today? Why have you changed your mind?" Harrison waved her off and, with a slightly embarrassed smile, said, "Plans can't keep up with changes, and changes always outpace plans. Until this morning, I never imagined I could regain my health. Don't you think so?" Helena smiled slightly. "Your recovery is partly due to Julien's devotion, which seems to have touched God himself." Despite what she said, she couldn't help mumbling under her breath, "Harrison really did change his mind,
The wealth of the Rothschild family had long been beyond the estimation or calculation of outsiders. Over the years, they had made both visible and hidden investments in countless fields. All offshore companies registered in the Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands, as long as they remained unlisted, were not required to disclose shareholder information. Among them were numerous companies in which the Rothschild family held shares or even controls. The true value of these holdings was impossible to verify. Even for listed companies, shareholder information was only disclosed in the primary market. The secondary market was bought and held through various channels that were impossible to count. In addition, the Rothschild family had investments in real estate, energy, mining, transportation, and other areas around the world. It could be said that any industry that was at the forefront of the trend could make enormous wealth. In colonial times, Britain was known as the em
Since both Harrison and Helena had reached an agreement, Helena took out a pen and amended the details of the contract. The whole process was recorded, and coupled with Helena's identity as the Nordic Queen and the high traffic on the internet, she was not at all worried that Harrison would go back on his word. After the two sides agreed on the terms of the contract, Harrison wrote his name on the contract, and then the two sides exchanged agreements, and the contract was officially in effect. After everything was settled, Helena put the contract away, turned off the video recording on her phone, and beamed, "It's been a pleasure working together, Mr. Rothschild!" Harrison hastily asked, "Y-Your Majesty, can you please give me the pill now?" "Of course." Helena handed him the pill swiftly and said, "Even though my family doesn't have a lot of money, we always attach great importance to the spirit of the contract." Harrison stretched out his trembling hand and took the pill.
