The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 1410
“Charlie Wade?!”The mention of Charlie’s name sent a chill down Jiro’s spine. He hurriedly said, “Nanako-san, you must stay away from Charlie Wade! This person is extremely dangerous, it is best not to have too much contact with him…”Then, he added, “Besides, you must never listen to Yamamoto-san’s advice and worship Charlie Wade as your master. As far as I’m concerned, this Charlie guy is very unfriendly to the Japanese, otherwise, he wouldn’t have brutally crippled Yamamoto-san simply because of what Yamamoto-san said!”Nanako nodded. “I didn’t think that he would take me as his disciple, but I hoped that he would be able to do something to heal Yamamoto-san or help put in a good word to get Dr. Simmons to heal him.”Jiro hurriedly asked, “So, are you going to visit Charlie some other time?”“No, not another day. I will go to him today.”“Today?! But it’s already evening! Are you really going to meet Charlie right now?”“Yes! Now!”With a face full of determination, Nanako

It was true that Charlie was very disgusted with Yamamoto Kazuki, but to be fair, he had a good impression of Nanako.Although Nanako had been practicing martial arts for many years, she was a very gentle woman to the core and could be considered a sensible girl which was very rare in the martial art circle.Upon hearing that, Anthony immediately said, “Okay, Master Wade, I understand. Don’t worry, if she comes over again, I’ll do my due diligence in hospitality.”“Good, that would be wise,” Charlie replied. “Okay, Mr. Simmons, I’m almost home, talk to you later.”“Okay, Master Wade.”After ending Anthony’s call, Charlie drove the car into the villa area of Thompson First.He gradually slowed down as he was about to arrive at his house when suddenly, a shadow flashed out from one side and blocked his car.Charlie hurriedly stepped on the brakes to stop the car. He looked up to find the person blocking the front of his car was none other than Nanako!He was puzzled.‘What is th

Nanako frowned and said, “Mr. Wade, please clarify your statement!”Charlie uttered, “First of all, if you walk on the path of the world of martial arts, you should first cultivate your mind, your body, and then the arts.”“In other words, the importance of the mind in pursuing this journey is greater than the physical strength and the type of martial arts.”“It doesn’t matter whether you practice combat, kickboxing, karate, taekwondo, Wing Chun, or Tai Chi. This is not important. What matters is your heart!”Nanako asked, puzzled, “My heart? What’s wrong with my heart?”Charlie snorted and chided in a condescending tone, “Your heart is full of petty benevolence. It is filled with artifice; it is narrow-minded; it does not admit defeat; most importantly, it lacks wolfishness!”“Wolfish?!” Nanako’s face twisted into a tightened grimace as she exclaimed, “What do you mean? What is wolfishness?”Charlie uttered, “The so-called wolfishness is a wolf nature. It describes the toughnes

Charlie’s words made Nanako realize that she had never been a qualified martial artist.She had won a world championship, and she had been crowned as one of the top young martial artists in the world, yet, she didn’t understand the basic principle of martial arts and the soul within it.Seeing her crying profusely and her body trembling, Charlie couldn’t help but sigh and said, “I’m sorry, I was too harsh with my words just now, but I was hoping that you would understand what the true soul of martial arts is!”Nanako raised her head, her big red eyes staring at Charlie. Then, she bent her legs and knelt on the floor as she said in a sobbing voice, “Please enlighten me, Mr. Wade. I’m ready to listen to your guidance!”Instead of offering his hand to help her up, Charlie said with a serious expression, “The soul of the martial art is not the physical strength, but the strength of the heart!”“If you are strong from within, you will still live up to the spirit of martial arts even if

Nanako hurriedly put her hands on the floor, bowed her head, and said, “Mr. Wade, I apologize to you and the Oskian people on behalf of all the Japanese who have hurt the Oskian people. I’m sorry! I will do my best to pay off Japan’s debt for the rest of my life!”Charlie waved his hand. “Never mind. This debt may never be settled, but I’m grateful for your effort.”Then, he reached out to help Nanako up to her feet and said, “You still have two upcoming matches, hurry back and prepare well. I, as Aurora’s coach, am looking forward to seeing the two of you meet in the finals. So, in the next semifinals match, you must perform well. Succeed to the finals to meet Aurora there.”Nanako said unwaveringly, “Please rest assured, Mr. Wade. I will do my best and meet Aurora in the finals!”“Good.” Charlie nodded. “See you in the final, then.”With that, Charlie got back into his BMW and drove it into his Thompson First villa.As the car sped off, Nanako locked her gaze on the car for a l

Nanako stayed up all night.Charlie’s words had been circulating in her mind all night long. Somehow, as she thought about it more, she suddenly felt that she must not give up on martial arts!In fact, she must double her efforts and work hard so that Charlie would look at her in a different light!Perhaps Charlie would never be willing to accept her as a disciple, but she must show him with her actions that she would become a qualified martial artist!Jiro, who had always wanted to pursue Nanako, had trouble sleeping as well.While he couldn’t wait to take Nanako’s hand, he was also looking forward to the next advertising campaign of Kobayashi Stomach Pill in Oskia.Since Kobayashi Stomach Pill was the title sponsor of the finals segment, it was the best time for the medicine to make a big promotion.Moreover, to Jiro’s surprise, Aurora, the Oskian athlete, had become the dark horse of the competition!This was very important to him. He wished to launch and promote his new sto

Claire couldn’t stay at the studio all day since she had work to do, so she went to her office halfway through the shoot, leaving Charlie and Liam there at the studio.After the advertisement shooting was finished, the staff of the advertising company immediately went back to their office with the material to do the post-production work while Charlie and Liam, once again, hosted a banquet in Shangri-La to entertain Quinn and Dorothy.Quinn’s work schedule was very hectic at the moment. After all, she was one of the top celebrities in the country. She was invited to the Spring Festival Gala this year and had a solo performance, so she had to rush back to Eastcliff for the first official rehearsal of the Gala.The celebrities who could be at the Spring Festival Gala were all top celebrities in the country. Because the Gala had the largest audience of any entertainment show in the world as well as the world’s most-watched television program, many big stars would do what it takes to get

The next day.Quinn’s flight was scheduled to take off at eight-thirty in the morning, whereas the semifinal of the combat and fighting competition would start at ten.Hence, Charlie decided to see Quinn off at the airport first and then head to the stadium to watch Aurora’s match.Early in the morning, Charlie went to Jacob and said, “Dad, will you use your car in the morning? Lend it to me if you don’t, I have something to do in the morning.”Jacob smiled sheepishly and said, “I’m going to give a talk on the antique and cultural appraisal in the morning at the Senior University on behalf of the Calligraphy and Painting Association.”With that, Jacob cast a glance at Charlie which indicated a “you know what I mean” hint.Charlie was instantly enlightened.Jacob must have met with Matilda during the activity collaboration between the university and his association, and he wanted to take this chance to meet Matilda more often before Elaine suspected anything.Thus, Charlie could

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
