Looking back at his dull and stale life, he hadn’t had a chance to have an affair, let alone be physically involved with such perfect beauty. He dedicated half of his life to that disgusting hag that he despised so much.Today was the day for him to break the restricted chains of fate!Yes!He wanted a taste of Claire!He wanted to jump on the gorgeous that all men in the city were crazy about!As his thought ran wild, he pasted a smile and said, “Miss Wilson, we can talk it out since you’ve come all the way here with such request. I’m not that hard to deal with as you think.”Claire quickly sat back down, thinking that there was a chance to reverse the situation, and asked excitedly, “Mr. Koch, will you sell us your materials on credit?”He didn’t say it specifically, but rather vaguely, “I will definitely refuse them if it is someone else, but if it is you, Miss Wilson, that’s a different story…”Claire hurriedly said, “Actually, our collaboration with Emgrand Group is very c
Daniel was bouncing off the wall as he watched Claire gulp down the tea.Now, all he had to do was wait for the sleeping pills to take effect!After drinking the tea, Claire soon realized that something was off!She felt like her head was spinning, it was very dizzy and heavy.What was going on?She was utterly shocked as a thought crossed her mind!Did Daniel drug her?!She trembled in shock and fear when she thought of such circumstances!She wanted to get up, but her legs were giving way. From the looks of it, it was impossible for her to escape by herself!While she was still conscious, she stealthily took out her phone, searched for Charlie’s contact in her chatting app, and pressed the audio record button.As the phone was recording her voice message, she said to Daniel, “Mr. Koch, I feel a little dizzy, is there something wrong with the tea?”Daniel chuckled. “No, nothing’s wrong! This tea is the top PG Tips Diamond tea bag that I got from England, fifteen grand per t
“Okay!”***A while later, an exclusive civilian helicopter roared thunderously in the sky.Inside the helicopter were Isaac and ten men in black.Isaac was donning a gloomy look. That stupid f*cker, how dare he make his move on Mrs. Wade? This was Aurous Hill! He had just signed his death wish!The helicopter flew at high speed, and before long, it arrived above Claire’s house.Charlie rushed to the rooftop, climbed directly into the helicopter, and hurriedly demanded, “Get to Elite Vault Enterprise as soon as possible!”***Meanwhile, at Elite Vault Enterprise.As Claire was slowly lying down with no strength to struggle, Daniel grinned excitedly and stretched out his hands, trying to take Claire’s clothes off!At this moment, the door was suddenly kicked open!An ugly woman with an aggressive look stampeded into the room along with a few big and brawny men!Seeing Daniel’s hands on Claire’s clothes, the woman cursed furiously, “Daniel Koch! How dare you cheat on me!”Da
The battleax gave Claire a slap across the face that sent Claire spinning but made her a little soberer.Cupping her swollen face, Claire looked at the fierce-looking woman and asked, “Who are you? What are you doing?”The woman gritted her teeth. “What am I doing? I want to kill you, you little b*tch!”Then, she turned to the bodyguard next to her. “Where’s the knife? Give it to me! I want to destroy this slut’s face!”“Yes, Miss!”The bodyguard produced a sharp knife and said, “Miss, don’t stain your hands with the slut’s blood, let me do it!”The woman raised her hand and slapped him. She snatched the knife off his hand and shouted, “Shut up, idiot!”The bodyguard knelt on the floor, petrified. “Miss, I’m sorry, please forgive me!”The woman stomped him and growled, “Get out of my way, fool!”She held the knife firmly in her hand, turning to Claire and was about to jump on her.Claire was so frightened, her body was shaking violently. She struggled desperately but the braw
The battleax caught her breath and blurted, “Listen carefully, idiot! My name is Sharon Frye! I’m the daughter of the Frye family in Lancaster! Have you heard of the Frye family? Our boss is the Wade family of Eastcliff! No matter how strong you think you are, if you mess with me, our Frye family will never spare you! The Wade family will hunt you!”“Oh?” Charlie grinned. “Listen carefully shrew, I AM the son of the Wade family in Eastcliff! I AM your boss! My name is! CHARLIE! WADE!!!”“Huh!!!”Sharon’s eyes were so wide, it almost fell off her eye sockets, her jaw dropped!She stared at Charlie like she was looking at a ghost.“You… you… you are the young master of the Wade family? How could it be! Why is the son of the Wade family in a small place like Aurous Hill!”Isaac marched forward and yelled, “Sharon Frye! Watch your tongue! He is Charlie Wade, the young master of the Wade family!”Sharon finally saw Isaac!Isaac Cameron!He…He was the spokesperson of the Wade fami
A crisp snap resonated!Sharon’s spine also broke!Another one!Both husband and wife were quadriplegics!There would never be a chance of recovery!Isaac walked forward and said respectfully, “Boss, the three hundred excavators and bulldozers I’ve mobilized have arrived. We will flatten the entire Elite Vault Enterprise to the ground with just one order from you!”“Good!” Charlie nodded and said coldly, “Notify all the workers to evacuate this place in ten minutes! Ten minutes later, bring this place to the ground like it never existed!”Both Daniel and Sharon gaped in extreme shock.All the hard work that they’ve been fighting and building, and this was how it ended?They were done, for sure. They could only be a living dead. If they didn’t have any money, who would take care of them?Charlie couldn’t care less.He asked his man to turn on the fire alarm, and immediately, the entire factory began to evacuate.Charlie carried Claire who was in deep slumber, and asked his m
Charlie slowly put Claire on the bed and carefully extracted the Reiki from her body.Immediately afterward, Claire slowly opened her eyes, waking up.“Dear!” As soon as Claire lay eyes on Charlie after opening her eyes, she got up quickly and hugged him excitedly. Then, she started to cry.Charlie hurriedly comforted her, “It’s okay baby, don’t be afraid, we’re home now.”“We’re home?”Claire lifted her head and looked around.She was surprised that it was their room. She turned to glance at Charlie and asked curiously, “What did Daniel and his wife do to you?”“No, they didn’t do anything to me,” Charlie said calmly, “Both him and his wife have paralyzed, the entire Elite Vault was nothing but ruins and rubble now. As the old saying goes, he who is unjust is doomed to destruction, literally.”Claire was utterly shocked. “What? How come? What happened?”Charlie smiled faintly. “I asked a few friends to help and save you, then we found out that the entire office building and t
Surprisingly, regarding the incident that happened at Elite Vault Enterprise, the saddest person was Lady Wilson.Due to Wilson Group’s sluggish financial condition, she hoped that Claire could persuade Elite Vault Enterprise to allow them to buy building materials on credit. It would have solved the current financial constraint that they were facing.Out of the blue, the entire Elite Vault Enterprise disappeared out of thin air in one afternoon!Right now, Lady Wilson’s worst concern was the capital fund issue. Her greatest desire was on how to raise a sum of capital funds for her company.Claire didn’t tell her grandmother what had happened yesterday. After the experience, she decided that she would focus her entire attention on the project with Emgrand Group and would not bother herself with the family affairs now, not even if her grandmother begged her to.After a night of rest, Claire was feeling rejuvenated and energetic the next morning and went to work excitedly.Charlie
With this thought in mind, Charlie silently decided to spend more time at the villa in the future, where he could focus on studying cultivation. Perhaps he might discover a breakthrough path based on his current foundation. However, the thought of Holly's family living in the villa next door posed a dilemma. If he went there every day to practice in seclusion, he would inevitably have to pass by Holly's house. Out of courtesy, it would be impossible not to greet them. But once he started exchanging pleasantries, his efficiency would naturally decrease. Moreover, it would eventually cause a misunderstanding if Nanako were to go there every day as well. Thus, Charlie felt an eagerness to find a new place for cultivation. After some thought, the lakeside mansion that Kathleen had purchased under the alias Kylie when she was in Aurous Hill came to mind. The Quinton family's villa, located in the Sonfo Valley far from the city, was nestled among mountains and waters, boasting exce
Nanako could also feel that the energy available for her to draw upon in her Sea of Consciousness had suddenly surged. Her sensory abilities, which had already improved significantly after achieving enlightenment, instantly leaped to an even higher level. The Reiki within her body became exceptionally abundant. With just a slight movement of her divine sense, the Reiki immediately dispersed from within her, making the entire office feel as if it was under her bird's-eye view, completely under her control. Moreover, this sense of control continued to extend outward. In just a short moment, eight nearby rooms also fell within her perception range. Charlie could sense the Reiki Nanako was releasing. Observing her closely, he noticed that her body was already brimming with Reiki, suggesting that it was no longer possible for her to continue taking the elixir. After a while, Nanako retracted the Reiki she had been using for perception and looked up at Charlie, saying, "Previously I co
Although Nanako had just attained enlightenment, she had already realized a critical problem: the Reiki available to her was very little, and there was almost no external channel for obtaining Reiki. For cultivators today, getting Reiki was the most difficult thing. There was no Reiki in the world, so the only external channels to obtain Reiki were elixirs, spiritual stones, or formations. If someone had a complete cultivation method, he could generate Reiki in his body by practicing the method, but for people like Charlie and Nanako who lacked such methods, this self-sufficient path was not feasible. Therefore, the small amount of Reiki that was generated in Nanako's body when she attained enlightenment was basically used up after she tried to sense Reiki. Charlie was slightly better than Nanako. The spiritual stones he accidentally obtained in the early days provided him with a lot of Reiki. Later, he relied on Cultivating Pills to barely make up for the gap in Reiki. Altho
Nanako giggled gently, thinking that Charlie was exaggerating. "You're so funny, Charlie. Who could possibly fail to attain enlightenment for hundreds of years? Those who haven't probably wouldn't live that long anyway, right?" Charlie smiled ambiguously. The matter concerning Vera was, of course, something he couldn't share with anyone, including Nanako. However, it was indeed a fact that Vera, despite taking the Eternal Pill and living for so many years, still hadn't attained enlightenment. Moreover, back in the day, Fumiko had served Marcius faithfully for an entire lifetime. From the paintings, it was evident that Marcius was genuinely devoted to Fumiko at that time. Otherwise, he wouldn't have returned to fulfill his promise after obtaining his opportunities. Yet, despite receiving Marcius's wholehearted support, Fumiko still failed to achieve enlightenment. In contrast, Nanako had managed to attain enlightenment so effortlessly, merely through the guidance of a monk.
Caden didn't know what kind of gifts Charlie was planning to give everyone, but from his perspective, since each of the over 400 people would receive one, it was likely something that could be bought with money. Caden was as rich as a king and wasn't particularly interested in things that money could buy. However, since Charlie had mentioned it, he naturally wanted to show his support. He expressed his gratitude, saying, "Despite your busy schedule, you're still thinking of us. I'm truly honored, and on behalf of everyone, I thank you." Charlie chuckled. "You're welcome." Caden respectfully replied, "If there's nothing else, I'll go ahead and ask Miss Ito to come over." "Okay." Caden retreated and went back to the martial arts hall. He called Nanako over and said in a low voice, "Miss Ito, Mr. Wade is at the manager's office right now. He wants to see you." "What?" Nanako squealed in pleasant surprise. "Mr. Wade is here? Oh my, I'll go over now! Thank you, Master Howton."
After that, Charlie asked, "Has everything been going well here lately?" Caden clasped his hands respectfully and replied, "Everything has been going very well. With the follow-up mental techniques you provided from the Taoist Sect Hanbloom Method, everyone's foundations are very solid. This batch of students has made the fastest progress I've seen in all my years of teaching." Charlie remembered his disciple, Sonia, who had previously taken the entire Taoist Sect to Oskia on her own initiative, effectively becoming part of his sect. Since he didn't have time to manage them, he had left everything under Caden's supervision. Curious, he asked, "How are the Taoist Sect disciples doing in their training?" Caden responded, "These disciples' training progress has been much faster than when they were in the United States. Sonia is now like a workaholic, training all day, every day, and her progress is astonishing—beyond my expectations." He continued, unable to hide his admiration, "
"The Rothschild family members?" Hearing Albert's remarks, Charlie frowned slightly and said, "Oh! Are you talking about Edmund and his dad?" "Yes!" Albert nodded and laughed out loud. "That American bastard who poisoned Miss Young's father and caused his kidney failure. Didn't he and his dad always say that they were from the Rothschild family?" Charlie waved him off dismissively. "They're not part of the Rothschild family. Rothschilds wouldn't carry the surname 'Whittaker'." Pausing to think, he added, "The surname 'Whittaker' is likely of Jewish origin. They might actually be relatives of the Rothschild family by marriage." As he spoke, a realization dawned on him. "I think I've got it. Julien coming to Aurous Hill might very well be to look for this father-and-son duo. Harrison has just recovered and wants to remain the family head for a few more years—he's probably trying to strengthen ties with these branch families." Albert gasped, "If that's the case, that bastard i
Meanwhile, Charlie went down the mountain and arrived at the Champs Elys Resort. To avoid disturbing the students during their practice, Charlie informed Albert of his arrival by phone. Albert, being at the bottom of the martial arts students in terms of skill and treating it more as a casual interest, was asked to wait at the entrance of the resort. When Charlie arrived, Albert, dressed in his training outfit, was already waiting at the door. He quickly stepped up to the car, opened the door for Charlie, and respectfully greeted, "Mr. Wade, welcome." Charlie nodded and said, "Tomorrow, have The Heaven Springs temporarily closed to the public and prepare a table with excellent food and drinks. For any customers with existing reservations, make sure to provide them with appropriate compensation." Without hesitation, Albert agreed and asked, "Are you expecting some guests?" Charlie casually replied, "Not exactly guests—just someone coming from afar who's a bit of a fool."
Upon hearing that Charlie would host him, Julien was flattered and expressed his gratitude, saying, "I truly appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedule to meet with me!" Charlie smiled and replied, "We're good friends, no need for formalities. When do you expect to land in Aurous Hill?" Julien thought for a moment and respectfully responded, "I'll be flying in a few hours, with a flight time of about 15 hours. I expect to land in Aurous Hill around 10 a.m. local time tomorrow." Charlie said, "In that case, tomorrow at noon, I'll host a banquet for you at The Heaven Springs, the most famous restaurant in Aurous Hill. It's well-known, so your employees should be able to find it easily. You can just come over directly when you arrive." Although the Rothschild family didn't have personnel stationed in Aurous Hill, their Asian headquarters was located in Eastcliff with high-ranking officials as well as a large number of staff. Julien had already informed the administrative
