Since both the girls had been very absent-minded earlier, when the referee announced that the match had already officially begun, neither one of them was able to immediately enter the state they should be in.Thus, the atmosphere in the ring was a little strange.As soon as the referee announced the start of the match and quickly drew back a certain distance away from the both of them, it stood to reason that the players from both sides would immediately get into their rhythm and start their tentative attacks. However, both of them were in a daze as they stood in the ring for a few seconds.At this time, a male audience yelled, “Aurora! What are you doing?! Why are you standing in a daze?! Hurry up and defeat that Japanese lady!”“Yes, Aurora! It is time for you to win and bring glory to our country!”“Oh! Aurora, that Japanese girl is actually quite pretty. Promise me that you will not hit her face, okay?”Aurora suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.This match was the highest-le
Charlie was also very impressed and amazed by Nanako’s perfect response.Sure enough, experience could never be compensated by pure strength alone.Aurora was now a driver of a supercar. Her car was extremely dynamic and fast. However, she did not know or understand the condition of the road on the tracks, and she did not know where all the turns, potholes, or shortcuts were.Although Nanako’s car was not as powerful as Aurora’s supercar, she was very familiar with the conditions of the road, and she understood every little detail very well.Therefore, even if these two drivers were to race together, even if the supercar would eventually win the race, it might not necessarily be an easy race.Although Nanako managed to dodge Aurora’s attack, she did not dare to underestimate the enemy.This was because based on one single attack, Nanako could clearly feel Aurora’s power, and she knew that Aurora’s strength was terribly powerful!Fortunately, she used her palms to evade the attac
At this time, Aurora felt very annoyed by her carelessness!She had only been concerned about launching continuous attacks on Nanako. However, she had completely ignored the fact that Nanako was, in fact, a master in combat and fighting, and she was completely different compared to all the other opponents she had encountered in the past.Therefore, although this kind of oppressive attack would indeed prove to be very fatal to Nanako, it also left her susceptible to Nanako’s sudden attack.At this time, Nanako slammed Aurora’s kneecap from the side at a very fast speed.With a bang, Nanako felt as though she had hit a steel plate with a punch, and she felt as though her entire wrist was already going numb!As for Aurora, she felt that she would unmistakably suffer a lot of damage after taking that blow from Nanako. However, she did not expect to only feel a slight pain in her knee.This level of pain was completely within the acceptable range. Aside from this slight pain, Nanako’s
Aurora threw two punches in succession, but Nanako managed to successfully avoid both of the punches. At this time, Nanako saw an excellent opportunity. She immediately squatted down as she aimed her attacks at the front of Aurora’s body. At the same time, her left hand was placed in front of her injured right hand. After that, she joined forces on both hands to attack Aurora’s waist.The Oskian audience who were all present at the scene exclaimed out loud, one after the other. In their opinion, Aurora was about to be overwhelmed by the other party’s successful counter-attack once again.At this very moment, Aurora prepared her left palm as she bent her arm and rolled her right arm into a fist. After that, she used her left palm to push her right fist forward, giving her right elbow a huge momentum, as she quickly attacked Nanako’s chest with her right elbow!Aurora’s attack was filled with both extreme strength and speed!She had great power in her right arm alone, but she not onl
However, Nanako could no longer support herself and stand up again because of her current physical condition.She was struggling because of the pain, and she had a very pained and unwilling expression on her face as the referee continued counting down at the side.Nanako persisted several times, but she could not stand up at all. It was only until the moment the referee had finished counting down to the last second and officially blew the whistle to signify the official end of the match that it seemed as though Nanako’s strength had already been completely depleted. She collapsed completely as she lay down on the ring.At this time, deafening cheers erupted from the crowd.This was because they knew that Aurora had already won the final match, and she was the champion of the International University Combat and Fighting Championship.The referee also raised Aurora’s arm high at this time as he said loudly, “Now, I declare that the champion of the International University Combat and
...At this moment.Jiro was sitting in the reception room at the Apothecary Pharmaceutical.Liam was facing very high production pressure because the Apothecary Stomach Pill was madly sought after, and all of the products were snapped up as soon as it was officially listed in the market!Netizens had been raving about the magical effects of the Apothecary Stomach Pill on various platforms such as on WeChat Moments and also various social media platforms since last night. Coupled with Quinn’s extreme popularity and influence, the Apothecary Stomach Pill was said to be very popular and well-sought after.Since the popularity of this medicine was very high, the most direct pressure that they faced was insufficient productivity.Therefore, Liam had decided to pay the employees double the amount of their wages so that everyone could work overtime and produce the Apothecary Stomach Pill at an even faster speed.Because of this, Liam had personally come to the workshop to lead the pro
Jiro never expected Liam to turn him down so directly.He should have considered his proposal or at least pretended to think about it at the very least, right? Wasn’t this the basic respect people should have in a business negotiation?Although Jiro was very angry, he held back the anger and frustration he was feeling.He kept a gentlemanly smile on his face as he said to Liam, “Mr. Weaver, please forgive me for speaking more bluntly. The Apothecary Pharmaceutical cannot even be considered as a top pharmaceutical company in Oskia, and its status is even more inconspicuous in the world. Even if you wanted to expand and venture into the Asia market or even the global market, it is simply impossible for you to make a breakthrough based on your company’s strength.”As he spoke, Jiro patted his chest as he said with a little pride, “However, it is a different story for Kobayashi Pharma. We already have a history of several decades, and we have a certain degree of popularity in the globa
The Apothecary Pharmaceutical had previously been the Weaver Pharmaceutical. The scale of Weaver Pharmaceutical was indeed incomparable to that of Kobayashi Pharma.Amongst all other things, before this, all of the assets owned by Weaver Pharmaceutical could only add up to two or three billion dollars. However, the money that Charlie had scammed from Kobayashi Pharma alone was already worth eleven billion dollars. Moreover, the market value of Kobayashi Pharma was worth more than one hundred billion dollars, which was at least tens or hundreds of times better compared to Weaver Pharmaceutical.Therefore, even if the Apothecary Pharmaceutical wanted to expand the production capacity of the Apothecary Stomach Pill, the only thing that they could do to expand the production lines was to get the employees to work overtime as much as possible.However, just as Jiro had mentioned earlier, a lot of manpower, material resources, financial resources, and time had to be invested to continue e
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
Yolden's mind short-circuited at those words. "The most advanced AI module?!"He had been working on Wall Street for years, having invested in substantial startup tech companies as well as assisting plenty of Nasdaq tech enterprises with their IPO. That was why he especially had a sharp six sense for cutting-edge technology.It had been a while since he had gotten up the saddle, and AI had just become the trend recently, but he still paid close attention. He was well aware what applications were possible for AI modules, but he was shocked that Charlie already possessed what all the online giants were coveting!Thrilled, he quickly asked Charlie, "Can the Rothschilds resolve all the hardware and software issues? High-processing power display cards are a dime a dozen these days, and local enterprises are all planning to sell them one by one. The demand is just that high!"Charlie chuckled. "Don't worry—the Rothschilds will handle both issues for me, even the data centers. We bought i
Keith, who had been silent throughout, waved him off as he said solemnly, "Please don't sell yourself short, Professor Hart. I'm sure you can do well in this position, but it's still a matter of will."If your heart is truly set on educating future generations, then I'm sure you'd reject our offer no matter what we say."However, if you felt the slightest interest, even anticipation, for such a major project, then you really should consider our offer."We've already invested in Godot Autos for 3 billion USD and over 10 billion if we're counting in Ricebolt. But we still have 30 billion more in capital available—and that means it's 40 billion USD at play."I doubt any other global car maker can afford that much, let alone a new car maker. So, I dare say that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"Keith's words spoke to Yolden's very soul—a startup capital of forty billion US dollars was certainly unprecedented for electric-powered vehicles. Even Ricebolt had barely garnered ove
