Charlie took a deep breath, glanced at the three of them, and said seriously, “Uncle Golding, Aunt Golding, Nana—for as long as I’m alive, no matter where I am, I won’t let anyone bully you.”Then, he turned to Yule and said, “Uncle Golding, I have a way to cure your illness and make you healthy again!”If Charlie had said such a thing at dinner, Yule would not have believed him. He knew that his illness was incurable.However, after seeing Charlie defeat Warlord and Realm Master with his own strength, he suddenly had extremely strong faith and confidence in Charlie. He felt that Charlie must have some certainty since he had said so.He quickly asked, “Charlie, are you sure you can cure me?”Rachel also said, her eyes red and swollen, “Charlie, Yule’s condition is very serious now. We’ve consulted the most distinguished experts in this field, but they…”Rachel couldn’t bear to finish her sentence.They had heard this too many times.No matter which expert they met, all of them
The efficacy of the Rejuvenating Pill was beyond doubt. This was the essence recorded in the Apocalyptic Book, which could bring the dead trees back to life in spring, rejuvenate the elderly, and make dying people regain their health. At that time, Albert had seriously been injured by Webb's family bodyguard. He was nearly without breath, surviving only with his last faint breath. In that kind of situation, even if the world’s best doctor could save his life, it would be impossible to save his brain. The best outcome was to be in a vegetative state. However, after taking the Rejuvenating Pill, Albert had not only recovered fully but his physical state was also younger by at least ten years.This showed how magical the Rejuvenating Pill was. Therefore, Charlie believed that the Rejuvenating Pill could heal Yule.At this time, Yule consumed the Rejuvenating Pill in front of his wife. Immediately, he felt an unprecedented sense of comfort as the pill dissolved in his stomach.
After falling ill, Yule missed his former self countless times. At that time, he did not admit defeat easily! Despite being forty-five years of age, he still wanted to be like a young thirty-year-old man. In reality, his body at that time had been in much better shape than ordinary people of the same age due to good nurturing. Even though it was physically exhausting to lift the coffin, he managed to do it!At this moment, his peak state had come back!Yule sat on the chair and burst into tears immediately!He felt that all these were gifts from heaven! When he had been very ill, he had only hoped to survive. He had never thought of returning to this kind of peak state in his lifetime! However, right now, miraculous things were happening to him!At this moment, a miracle did not only happen on Yule’s body, but also in Rachel and Quinn's eyes! At a speed visible to the naked eye, they saw Yule’s pale and colorless face turning ruddy swiftly. The sunken eye socket
At this moment, Rachel and Quinn were already crying so much till they could not help themselves.Both persons—one on the left, the other on the right—were holding Yule’s warm hand. They were very emotional to the point that they could not speak. Yule had not undergone any medical tests. They also had not received any authoritative reports on whether Yule had been cured. Despite all these, they still believed their own eyes and own judgement that Yule had indeed recovered fully! As one who had personally experienced the effects of the Rejuvenating Pill, Yule knew his situation very well. He was ten thousand percent sure he had not only recovered fully but his body was also back to the state it had been when he was forty years old, about ten years ago. This made him ecstatic. It took him a long time to restrain his emotions. Then, he raised his head to look at Charlie with eyes full of gratitude. Immediately afterwards, he gently pushed his wife and daughter awa
After a while, Rachel brought a bottle of Maotai wine and walked in. Yule took the wine bottle. While opening the lid, he spoke, “Charlie, ever since my daughter was born, I’ve spent lots of money to buy the best Maotai wine on her birthday every year. Till now, my underground storeroom is filled with top level Maotai, which are auction worthy. Initially, I’d planned to wait till the day my daughter is married out to serve these to friends and family, but let’s try it first today!” Rachel, who was by the side, laughed and added, “Charlie, this batch of wine is very precious to me. The storeroom is like a chimera, one can only go in but can’t come out. No one has ever taken a bottle out to drink. Today is indeed the first time!” Yule chuckled and said, “This wine was originally prepared for Charlie and my daughter’s wedding. Drinking it now is like a warm up!” Quinn, who was by the side, blushed immediately. Charlie was inevitably embarrassed. Marriage? He
Hearing Yule’s question about the Rejuvenating Pill, he smiled and answered, “Uncle, this medicine is called the Rejuvenating Pill. I daren’t say that it’s a real elixir, but I can certainly say that it’s half-magical. It was refined by genius ancient Oskian doctors. I had also obtained it by chance.”Yule did not doubt him and said, “This medicine is too magical. It really doesn’t look like something from this world. The feeling when I took the medicine just now was dream-like! It seems there are indeed many things from our ancestors that we can’t understand!” Charlie nodded in agreement. Although he did not know who had written the Apocalyptic Book, based on the age of the Yuchun bottle, it should have been made during the Tang Dynasty. The bottle did not have any traces of later cuttings. In other words, the wooden box where the Apocalyptic Book was originally stored could have been placed in advance when making the mud before the Tang Dynasty craftsman made the Yuchun
Therefore, he must help Yule solve the problem, and only then could he leave Eastcliff and return to Aurous. Seeing that Yule agreed to his request, he sighed with relief, picked up the wine glass and exclaimed, “Come, Charlie. Let’s have a toast!” Charlie nodded and clinked glasses with him again. Seeing the two men drinking happily, Rachel told Quinn in a low voice, “Your dad hasn’t been this happy for a long while.” Quinn also nodded and replied near her mother’s ear, “It seems that ever since Uncle Wade had an accident till now, he had never been this happy.” Rachel held her daughter’s hand under the table and softly uttered, “Charlie is a good man. You must keep hold of him!” Feeling shy and embarrassed, Quinn answered, “Mum…How do I keep hold of him…Charlie is already married and he isn’t divorced yet at this moment.” Rachel replied seriously, “Silly child. He was your fiancé since you were a child. Someone snatched your husband away, not the ot
Charlie did not care too much about the luck and fortune of the Wade’s family and the moving of the ancestral grave. He was not very interested in the members and affairs of the Wade family. All these while, he only cared two things about the Wade family. Number one, where his parents were buried and whether he could pay homage to them. Number two, for whom did his parents suffer and if they were from the Wade family. As for the other matters in the Wade family, he did not want to keep them in his mind. Therefore, after listening to Yule’s introduction on Mount Wintry, Charlie asked, “Uncle, can I go to Mount Wintry to worship?” Yule answered, “Mount Wintry is the Wade family’s ancestral grave. It’s the main spot for good luck and fortune. Normally, the Wade family controls the area strictly and outsiders aren’t allowed to enter. Even if I go, I’ll need to greet the Wade family’s members first and make an appointment. However, since you’re the heir of t
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
