Donald felt very embarrassed as he clutched onto his cheek that was already flushed red.He finally realized his mistake at this time.His strategy was correct. He had to unite his comrades and treat the enemies of his enemy as his own allies.No matter whether it was the father and son from the Weaver family who were on Mount Golmin, the Wilson family, or any other people, they were all people whom he should be gathering and uniting together.However, he was wrong because he had acted too hastily. He should not have undermined the morale of his army.The enemy was right there and they would not go missing just because he came one step later.His allies were also right there and they would not die just because he was one step late.Why was he so anxious? He had sent his men up to Mount Golmin twice and he had already failed twice. He had also lost the lives of twenty men up there all for nothing.He should have remained calm and composed and just waited patiently. He should als
“Okay.” It was only at this time that Lord Webb finally nodded his head. “Then, I’ll send The Big Eight up to Mount Golmin tonight. Get the private jet ready.”Donald asked in surprise, “Dad, do we need to be so anxious?”Lord Webb replied earnestly, “You’ve just lost fifteen of your men’s lives tonight. The enemy will definitely think that you wouldn’t dare to come back for a short period of time. We should send The Big Eight over there tonight so they can appear in front of the enemy early in the morning tomorrow. This way, the enemy will definitely be caught off guard!”Donald nodded as he was being educated.He felt a little inferior and ashamed of himself at this time because he felt that his abilities were really too far behind his old man’s.The old man was indeed the one who could really make plans and strategies to win the battle from a thousand miles away.After that, Donald immediately called and arranged for the private jet to prepare to take off. After about an hour,
At this moment, at the villa at Thompson First, it was late at night and Charlie and his wife were sleeping in their bed with their own respective quilts.At this time, Charlie’s cell phone suddenly buzzed twice.As Charlie was afraid that the sound from his cell phone would wake his sleeping wife, he hurriedly picked up his cell phone and found out that he had received two WeChat messages.It was already twelve in the middle of the night. Charlie did not know who would send him a WeChat message at this time but he guessed that it must be something important if the person texted him at this time.So, he immediately unlocked his cell phone and found out that the messages were sent to him by Albert.“Master Wade, something has happened at Mount Golmin. Liam and I are outside your front door now. I’m wondering if it would be convenient for you to come out for a moment?”Charlie frowned.Something had happened at Mount Golmin. Then, this could only mean that the Webb family was targ
Charlie smiled slightly before he said, “If we solved everything by simply killing the person, then the Webb family would have already been dead a long time ago. Some people deserve to die and they must be killed as soon as possible—for instance, those people from the Beggar Clan. However, it would simply be too boring if we were to kill some people.”After Charlie was done speaking, he smiled and said, “Why don’t you think about Ichiro, who is still staying at your dog farm? I could’ve killed him a long time ago but why am I keeping him alive? This is because I think it’s even more fun and interesting for him to be living. There are more possibilities when he’s alive. I’ll miss out on a lot of fun if he dies, and the same goes for the Webb family and the Weaver family too.”In Charlie’s heart, everything in this world complemented each other and also mutually reinforced and counteracted one another.The reason why he was keeping Ichiro alive was so Ichiro could reinforce and counte
Charlie saw Liam was a bit nervous. With the intention of diverting the topic, he smiled lightly and asked, “How’s your pharmaceutical manufacturing business doing so far?Liam looked straight at Charlie and reported, “Master Wade, the recent developments of the pharmaceutical factories are considered stable. But we’ve encountered some obstacles in the expansion of new markets.” “What were the obstacles?”Charlie felt weird. With the Weaver family’s pharmaceutical manufacturing strength, there should be very few competitors in the domestic pharmaceutical industry.But with new developments in drugs, as long as one could find a good prescription, there should be no major problems. However, if the prescription was ineffective, it would be meaningless no matter how influential the pharmaceutical factory was.Liam immediately answered, “The Weaver family’s pharmaceutical company has recently invested heavily in the development of a new proprietary Chinese medicine. The main funct
Actually, there were countless types of magical ancient medical prescriptions recorded in the Apocalyptic Book. In the area of stomach medicine alone, there were dozens of them. Just by picking any of these prescriptions was sufficient to defeat Kobayashi Pharma. However, the pharmaceutical industry was very profitable. Thus, he could not help Liam without something in return.So, he said to Liam, “I have a few good formulas in my hand. Once produced, they’ll surely be the best-selling magical drugs. If I use the formulas to buy shares, how many shares would you be willing to give me?”Almost without hesitation, Liam answered, “Master Wade, what I have today is all because of you. The whole of Weaver Pharmaceuticals belongs to you, Master Wade. If you want to make medicine, Liam will give it to you immediately!” Liam knew this very well in his heart.Without Charlie, he could not possibly inherit Weaver Pharmaceuticals.Without Charlie, he would not be able to hold onto Weaver
At that very moment, Charlie had two solutions.The first solution was to look for Stephen Thompson to send the masters from the Wade family in Eastcliff to Mount Golmin for interception. There were many skilful masters in the Wade family and therefore, it would not be a challenge at all to subdue The Big Eight. The second solution was to depart to Mount Golmin and to ambush The Big Eight on his own. After a few seconds of consideration, Charlie decided that he should solve his own problems. So, he would go to Mount Golmin and finish off The Big Eight.Charlie had owned the Apocalyptic Book for some time now. He had meditated on it and this had elevated his strength gradually. At the same time, he had his body tempered with spiritual energy. As such, his physical condition was different compared to that of ordinary people. Not to mention, he also had already refined numerous Rejuvenating Pills. By relying on those Rejuvenating Pills, he had elevated his physical condit
At Aurous Airport, Wade family’s private jet deployed at Aurous was ready to take off at the end of the runway. The jet could take off as soon as Charlie got on it.Furthermore, this jet was able to arrive at Mount Golmin in just two hours.On the contrary, Webb family’s private jet needed at least three hours to reach the destination. Moreover, the Webb family did not have the ability to mobilize resources across the country or even across the globe simultaneously.It was believed that The Big Eight would not have had a helicopter awaited for them. The most that Webb family could do was to prepare a sports utility vehicle to bring them all the way to the foot of the mountain.According to Albert Rhodes, the journey from Mount Golmin to Weaver family’s residence in that village would take more than two hours, given that it was not snowing.If it was snowing and the road condition wasn’t ideal, it would take them around three hours to arrive.But with the helicopter, the jou
"That would be Ashley Layna Acker," Matilda replied without hesitation. "She was our age, as well as a major investor in Silicon Valley, while we were only starting to get our first clients. It's no exaggeration to say that she's the shining example in many case studies when it comes to business."Pausing, she then continued, "And she used to be your classmate, right? I remember you mentioning that in our conversations before.""Yes," Yolden sighed emotionally. "She was a classmate and the star of our generation."Matilda nodded but soon shook her head, "Wait, weren't we talking about Charlie's car company? What does that have to do with Ashley Acker?" "Here's where I let you in on a secret," Yolden said. "But first, you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone except Paul."Matilda nodded without hesitation. "Don't worry—if it's a secret, I won't tell Paul either."Yolden scratched his head. "Actually, Paul should know. We are going to marry soon, and he's my stepson, lega
In fact, the legal department of major enterprises covered many responsibilities, the chief of which concerned intellectual property, which was why veterans were needed to lead.Additionally, Charlie trusted Matilda's accomplishments in the legal field, especially since she had worked in the United States for years.With Curtis Autos' intended expansion worldwide, that meant the legal department should also know the laws of countries abroad, ready to file or respond to lawsuits at any time. After all, competitors may use the law to impede their growth, along with the government applying unfair policies to impede their development and impact on local businesses.Moreover, Charlie considered Paul young and therefore lacking in experience, not to mention that it was not likely he would abandon his family's law firm. As such, the ideal solution was to poach Matilda for now.As for Matilda, she was still in the dark and had no idea what she was in for, asking Charlie in confusion, "Lega
Later, after Charlie told Jeremiah over the phone about the joint venture with the Ackers to establish Curtis Autos, the old man was awash with tears, especially after Charlie told him that it was Keith who suggested it. After all, Curtis was his favorite son whose death he could never really get over. Moreover, he once believed that only his family mourned Curtis while the Ackers never did, and he held a grudge over his son's passing. As such, he was surprised that Keith held such great respect toward his late son and didn't hesitate to say yes when Charlie invited him to Aurous Hill to sign an agreement with the Ackers.Still, Charlie wasn't in a hurry to arrange for a specific time, and he was going to let the Ackers sort out the human resources of Godot Autos over a few days. It still wouldn't be too late by then.Moreover, he was keen to allow the buzz to have time to grow so that the automotive industry would be astounded by the joint project between the Ackers and the Wade
Christian was the first to exclaim in approval, "Yes! Curtis Autos sounds wonderful! It has my vote!""Seconded!" Kaiden nodded, pumping the air with his right fist. "I've looked up to Curtis the most, and I absolutely agree with naming the company after him!"Jaxson was nodding too. "Me too!""Yes!" Lulu chirped.Yolden couldn't help agreeing as well. "Curtis Autos is definitely a good name!"Merlin raised his hand gingerly as well. "Quit it with your flattery already," Keith chuckled, and he turned toward Charlie solemnly. "In the end, Curtis is Charlie's father, and the final decision goes to him!"Charlie's eyes were welling up with tears—his parents had been gone for almost three decades, yet he had never thought of dedicating anything to their memory.As such, Keith's suggestion to use Curtis's name for the car company left him thrilled. After all, wouldn't his father's soul be honored if Curtis Autos rocked the country, maybe even the world?With that in mind, he nodd
Charlie also had to agree that this was an opportunity to formally reconcile the Wades and the Ackers.While he couldn't reveal himself just yet, the Wades and the Ackers had been in-laws for years. Even if they had had a dispute for the longest time, restoring good relations made sense now that the Ackers had come to Oskia, and it wouldn't arouse any suspicion.That was why Charlie agreed to it without hesitation, even making a mental note to invite his paternal grandfather, Jeremiah, to Aurous Hill.The old geezers could meet up and clear the air while deciding on the partnership.Yolden was prepared to resign as a professor as well so that he could help the Ackers and Charlie fully develop their automotive company.With a general direction planned, he asked everyone, "Since we're creating a new brand, has anyone come up with a name?"No one was feeling inspired at that moment, but that was when Lulu, who had been silent throughout, said, "Since Charlie and our family are worki
Neither Charlie nor the Ackers expected Yolden's insight to cover all corners.In fact, it felt like the man had a blueprint ready and was only waiting for the time to put it to use.That was why everyone was immensely approving of Yolden and wanted no other man for the job of CEO.Kaeden smiled, "Well, since everyone has agreed, let's put this to rest as soon as possible—this will be a joint investment between our family and the Wades, and Professor Hart will take the post of CEO. Let's all do our best to make this a good one!"Yolden also made up his mind, deciding that he didn't want to let slip a chance to realize his ambitions. "I'll resign from the university after my honeymoon trip. It probably shouldn't be long, and I can get involved in early preparations via teleconference."Charlie nodded. "Then, we can have Uncle Kaeden stay on schedule while I'll ask the Wades to send a representative over to sign a memorandum for the investment."Keith smiled and nodded. "You should
Charlie hadn't been born and raised in Aurous Hill, but he still started living here at the age of eight and was more attached to this place than Eastcliff.If he was going to take part in this automotive investment with the Ackers, he naturally found Aurous Hill the ideal location.Not only would it create a huge number of jobs for Aurous Hill, but it would also rake in much economic flow for the region.Yolden also nodded at his suggestion. "If the first plant is meant to cover the demand of the entire local market, there's no reason for a coastal plant. Aurous Hill stands at an intersection between the north and the south, so transportation is convenient. It's also killing two birds with one stone, as Mr. Wade is fond of the city."Charlie couldn't help but agree. "I won't lie—Aurous Hill has been good to me, and I hope to give back. Nothing's better than succeeding in that respect."Yolden spread his hands, "Heavy industries are certainly ideal to contribute to Aurous Hill's e
Yolden had actually been researching new energy for a while—in fact, it was when Tesla's first car models were produced.He was passionate about the subject and had his own opinions as well as ambitions, but he was busy teaching, so he couldn't realize any of it.But was this not a golden opportunity tailor-made for him?Seeing that Yolden was clearly interested, Charlie turned toward Kaeden, "Actually, the professor is getting married soon. There's no way we'd split up newlyweds so soon after the wedding, right? So, is it possible to set up base in Aurous Hill instead?""Not a problem!" Kaeden replied without hesitation. "Our family is planning to return to Oskia anyway, and everyone knows about Ashley and Curtis. So, why don't we invest in this enterprise alongside the Wades and have the base set up in Aurous Hill? And then bring Godot under as a subsidiary?"Turning to Yolden, he continued, "By the way, Godot's plant is already in the province—barely 100 miles from Aurous Hill,
Pausing, Yolden continued, "Moreover, the greatest advantage of AI is that it is self-conscious and has the processing power to analyze astronomical proportions of data. As car sales grow, every car owner's driving data will add precious new data to our data vault, and it will be processed by AI for even greater space of imagination."For example, kst's say I experienced a bumpiness along a certain road, and when the sensors pick up on that anomaly, the data will be uploaded to the servers along with images of the road condition in real time. The processing AI module would determine in no time at all that there was damage and label said location on the map, and then forward the data to other vehicles close to that location, sending notifications when they are close enough and providing the appropriate advice for countermeasures."Naturally, the AI can even be refined further so that it immediately warns us to slow down while uploading the data to the servers and informing any cars cl
