In the darkness of the night, the Wade family’s business jet ascended and flew at fast speed toward Mount Golmin! The speed of this business jet was much faster than that of most other ordinary airplanes. Even Charlie sighed with amazement. It was no wonder the Wade family was able to stay ahead of Oskia’s other top families. The details of this business jet clearly demonstrated this.In important cities across the country, arranging such airplanes ensured that a family could be one step ahead of others and arrived first in an emergency. As long as they seized the opportunity, the possibility of gaining victory was higher. Issac told Charlie, “Young Master, the Wade family actually has another faster airplane. But there is only one, which is at Eastcliff Airport.” “Oh?” Charlie asked curiously, “Is there another airplane which is faster than this?” “That’s right!” Isaac nodded and said, “I’m not sure if you’ve ever heard of Concorde? Many years ago, the French developed a s
Albert Rhodes had come to Mount Golmin once. Therefore, he was quite familiar with the area. He pointed at the mountain trail which was covered in white snow and stated to Charlie Wade, “Master, this is the only road which leads into the mountain. As long The Big Eight of the Webb family does not take the helicopter, this is the only road they can take.” Charlie Wade nodded and said, “If that’s the case, then we shall wait for them here.” Albert Rhodes immediately asked, “Master, should we summon everyone here to help?” Charlie Wade calmly responded with one word. “No.” Isaac Cameron could not help but to be worried for his young master’s safety, so he tried to convince him. “I know and understand the strength of the Webb family’s Big Eight, they aren’t people to be underestimated. You may not be able to fend them off on your own. Just to be safe, let’s just summon more people here to help!” Charlie Wade shook his head and stated in a cold voice, “What happens here today is o
On the ten kilometer stretch of hill road, two SUVs with one in front of the other were tailgating each other.These two cars were the only cars on the hill road.Driving through the snow capped terrain was no easy task as all the eye could see was pure white snow.The plain and repetitive sight of white snow made Emiliano Flores feel sort of dizzy. He then said in an annoyed tone, “That little Wade twerp is such an inbred b*stard. Since that father son duo pissed him off, then just kill them off already! What’s the point of sending people to this…this shit hole of a place? Now, he has to trouble me to come here…such bad luck.”The driver spoke in a helpless manner, “Before I came, I did some investigation on this person called Wade. He was known as a demon. Not only does he like sending people here to dig for herbs, he also loves sending people to the black coal mines to mine for coal. I even heard that he once made the boss of a listed company work in a construction site as a cem
Liam Weaver was freezing while trying to suck in his snort. In order not to expose their current location, the chopper which had brought the four of them to the top of Mount Golmin had to leave. If it wasn’t for that, they could have hidden in the chopper to keep themselves warm.After waiting for a few more minutes, Charlie Wade had a glimpse of bright lights illuminating the windy mountain road. The lights came from two cars which were making their way up the mountain.Isaac saw the streaming beams of lights too and in a frantic voice he spoke, “Master, that should be them!”Charlie nodded and replied with a smile, “Been waiting for so long that I almost fell asleep.”Albert quickly drew his pistol while gritting his teeth, “D*mn it, I’ll be witnessing the awesomeness of The Big Eight today!”Charlie replied uninterestedly, “Albert, put your gun away. It’s useless against them.”Albert stood up straight and in that flash of a moment, he seemed to understand what was happening.
It was no surprise that the driver got spooked. All along the way, there wasn’t a single person in sight and now, in the middle of the night, there was a person standing in the middle of the road. It was indeed a frightening experience.Emiliano was dumbfounded. He stared blankly at the person on the road who was slowly making his way towards them.Unconsciously, words came out of Emiliano’s mouth, “It…it is indeed a human!”The person standing outside looked very young. He wore a smile on his face and a simple flowy tunic. Both arms were folded at his back and with a laidback expression. His appearance didn't seem to fit his icy cold surroundings at all.This person was no other than Charlie Wade!At the same time, Isaac and his group of people were about ten meters behind him, hiding in the cloak of darkness.Charlie had told them beforehand to just watch and not expose themselves.As the driver saw Charlie’s face, he spoke in an anxious tone, “Bro, this weird person who is st
As he ended his sentence, his legs moved as swiftly as the wind. On the spur of the moment, he was already closing in onto Charlie. His fist, which was bigger than a bowl, was already raised in front of him!With years of intense training and a lifetime of cultivation, all his blood and sweat was used to pave the way for his supreme pair of fists. With a single punch, he could destroy rocks which were a few meters thick. Not just any normal human being could take his punches and live to tell the tale.As for Charlie, he had already seen through his fighting style with a single glance.It was nothing but fist throwing. Although his fist was hardened, it was still just recklessly throwing punches. Compared to Charlie, he was nothing but a gecko on a tree.Therefore, he just stood there and didn’t even bother dodging nor avoiding the fists. He was just taking the Iron Fist head on with a despicable smile on his face.Hades Li was baffled by his absurdity. To look down upon him so muc
Emiliano was so stunned watching Hades’s instant defeat that he froze as if he had been struck by lightning!Although he was a little stronger than Hades in terms of martial arts skills, his fists were very much inferior to Hades’s Iron Fists.After all, Hades spent decades focusing solely on enhancing and improving the strength of his Iron Fists to the point that there was no opponent in the world whose punches were on par with his, but who would have thought that a young man in his twenties would shatter his fist and arm with a single punch…It was an extremely and devastatingly powerful strength they had never witnessed before!Emiliano was mortified!It seemed that this kid by the name of Charlie was truly no ordinary person!Today, the eight of them would have to face an intense battle!Meanwhile, Isaac and the rest were equally startled!None of them had ever thought that Charlie would actually be so powerful! It was beyond imaginable!The enemy Charlie was facing was a
Charlie had met several opponents on metaphysics, but no matter how accomplished they were, they were no match to his Thunder Order.As for the Butcher Brothers, they were nothing more than low-life thugs who committed crimes that were not even worth mentioning.However, The Big Eight was an interesting challenger.If Hades was to throw his Iron Fist on Jack Yaleman, his head would have exploded with just a single punch.The Butcher Brothers might not even have combated one round with him before they were defeated and killed with the punch.Regardless, Hades Li’s Iron Fists were still too lame in Charlie’s eyes.He was burning with excitement and intrigue as the seven of them decided to join forces and come at him together!Emiliano took the lead!His seven brothers followed behind him closely and stood in the respective formation, preparing to kill Charlie.Emiliano stood in front of Charlie. He gathered all the power from his core to his palms before making a leap and pushin
With those words, Jacob didn't wait any further as he turned and left Antique Street, intent on seeking legal counsel.Raymond watched him leave before returning to Treasure Measure.He wasn't going to leave, but he had said so because he didn't want to waste much time with Jacob.Still, to avoid any trouble, he turned the sign outside to 'closed' before locking the door from the inside.That was when a man suddenly arrived, asking through the glass door, "Can I still take a look inside, sir?"Raymond was ready to refuse without even turning around when he realized that it was Charlie.He turned around and saw him standing outside just as expected.Smiling, he hurried over to open the door for him. "It's been a while, Mr. Wade!"Charlie was aware that Raymond was sticking to his identity of 'Raymond Cole' who had not been in touch since Raymond had been fired from Vintage Deluxe.Charlie chuckled in turn. "It has indeed. And you're a business owner yourself now, too.""It's j
Jacob zipped toward Raymond, his attitude immediately subservient, "I'm sure you've seen what Zachary Evans posted on his Twitter page, and to be honest, it's so terrible that my position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association has been affected too. I mean, you've made a lot of money, right?"Hell, even if you donated ten million, you'd still have another ten million and 970 thousand in net profits. So, all I'd like to ask is for you to post something to disclaim Zachary's post.Jacob's words left Raymond in thought.For Jacob, just being suspected of fraud would definitely be terrible. In fact, his position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association would definitely be threatened—if not dismissed altogether—if he wasn't cleared of suspicion.Since Jacob was Charlie Wade's father-in-law, Raymond had reason not to drive Jacob over the brink.But that also begged another question—it must be under Charlie's intention for Zachary to post his confession, and that meant Charlie in
Raymond couldn't help chuckling just as Jacob finished—he had honestly never heard of anyone who demanded a refund after donating to charity, but he was certainly seeing one now.Still, the receptionist was clearly experienced and slowly explained, "Sir, it's a legal clause of the country that all donations for philanthropy purposes can not be refunded under most circumstances—""It truly was a mistake," Jacob quickly said, cutting the receptionist off. "I was going to donate thirty thousand but pressed an extra zero by mistake. Please discuss this with your management—you just have to refund 27 thousand, see?""Sorry, sir," the receptionist apologized. "But it's a strict rule that we ourselves do not get to access the funds that have been donated into our accounts. Every donation will be screened extensively, and if you consider that there was a major oversight on your part, you may seek legal counsel to appeal for a refund. If the courts back your appeal, our organization will the
Nonetheless, Jacob darted into Treasure Measure and plucked off his mask, asking nervously, "Excuse me, Mr. Cole? It's me… Jacob Wilson…"Raymond looked up, pausing for a moment before acting as if he was actually curious, "Mr. Wilson! What brings you here? Don't tell me—you want that bronze sculpture back too?""No, no, no…" Jacob quickly shook his head. "I would never… I returned all the way from Dubai to apologize!""Apologize?" Raymond smiled faintly, and he did not play dumb this time as he asked bluntly, "Did you come back because of Zachary Evan's post?"Knowing he couldn't deny it any longer, Jacob nodded, "Yeah…"Raymond nodded and said calmly, "That's unnecessary. I was the one who benefited in the end."Jacob wasn't quite keeping up—thinking that Raymond was just trying to be nice by telling him he didn't have to apologize, he quickly pulled out his phone.Tapping on it and bringing up his transaction records, he handed it to Raymond reverently, "Mr. Cole, I understan
The cabbie chuckled. "You're a local yet you're heading to Antique Street right away as soon as you land instead of going home? And you're still saying you're not trying to pick up a killer bargain deal?"Come on, man—it's not just you, I want that too. We cabbies work ourselves to death only for ten thousand per month at best while our friend over there made twenty million in one night. I could keep driving cabs for the rest of my life and still not make that much money."Jacob knew that the cabbie must be talking about Raymond and became even more miserable then, grumbling unhappily, "I'm going to Antique Street for business—I'm not trying to pick up some missed bargain.""No? Then you didn't hear what happened yesterday?"The cabbie was immediately curious, and without waiting for Jacob's answer, he exclaimed happily, "Look, man—it was so ridiculous not even Hollywood would put it in their script. There were these fools who were trying to sell an antique trader a replica, but th
It was nighttime in Dubai as Jacob dragged his weary body from the hotel back to the airport.As he was flying economy this time, he was left sitting at the hard bench near the boarding terminal, waiting for it to open.While he waited, his heart was torn as he tapped into the website of the Aurous Hill Charity Fund, found their donation account, and wired the entire 300 thousand he had made over to them.He had picked the Aurous Hill Charity Fund because the circles of antique collectors in Aurous Hill were all discussing how Raymond had donated half of the 20 million he had made to that same charity fund.After Raymond skyrocketed to prominence in Antique Street and became a star, it could not be denied that people admired his profound ability.However, there were also people who envied his skill in turning the tables just as there were those who were jealous he had made twenty million in a single night.Still, Raymond moved fast—soon after word spread that he had made twenty m
Elaine quickly asked, "Well, what if you can't get it done?"Jacob was apprehensive even as he sighed. "If they really pressed the issue, guess I can't even stay at the Calligraphy and Painting Association now… We will see. If things get bad, I'll just resign. I won't ask for much right now, just as long as I don't have to go to jail."Elaine nodded. "Then you should try to reason things out with Raymond Cole or ask for Charlie's help if push comes to shove. Being humiliated is still better than prison.""Okay!"-It was nighttime at Aurous Hill by the time Elaine and Jacob arrived at their hotel.Charlie and Claire had just had dinner, and Claire pulled out her phone, saying, "I just checked my flight app, and it says my parents should have landed two hours ago. They are probably at the hotel, so I'll check in on them with a video call."She had yet to open her WhatsApp when Elaine called her on a video call.Jacob was planning to check in with Claire and Charlie to put their
Hearing what Jacob had said, Elaine became anxious and pressed him as he hung up, "What's going on? You're leaving? But we just got here! My shoes have just caught Dubai dirt, so why are we leaving so soon—"However, Jacob was wiping the sweat off his brow as he mumbled quietly, "Well, at this point, I have to leave or I won't be vice president anymore."Elaine immediately fumed. "We've been married for half our lives, and this is supposed to be our honeymoon, yet we're just leaving? I've posted about this on social media too—there are plenty of people who're waiting for more posts on our trip!"And don't forget—we spent a lot on our flight tickets and our hotels! The hotel bookings can't be refunded either!"Jacob scowled dolefully. "Well, what can we do? Why don't you stay? I'll go home and get this sorted out first….""Well, how long would that take?" Elaine asked."How should I know?" Jacob sighed, uneasy and annoyed. "Don Albert is saying I have to go back and donate the 300
"But I spent 98 thousand on that bronze sculpture!" Jacob exclaimed in agitation before he knew it. "I made 300 thousand from it, and that means my profit was 200 thousand at best, but I'm supposed to return that to him as well?! That means I'd have lost my own capital too!""I can't help you if you can't bear to part with that money, Mr. Wilson," Don Albert said quietly. "In that case, you'll just have to handle it yourself.""Wait, wait, wait!" Jacob immediately became antsy and cried out right then, "Please, Don Albert! I'll return the money! I'll return it, alright?! The entirety of my profits—202 thousand, okay? At least let me keep the money I spent, okay?""By that reasoning, Mr. Wilson, when a phone scammer is told by the cops to return the money they've made from defrauding, should he be allowed to keep the money he spent on telco charges? ""Oh, I…" Jacob was left stumped and could not come up with an answer.Don Albert then pressed on, "Mr. Wilson, I've offered a prom
