Charlie smiled in response to Yule’s remark and said, “I have many things to attend to in Aurous Hill, so I have to go back.”Yule nodded gently and said with a sigh, “Please come to Eastcliff often to visit us. My wife and I are looking forward to your return to Eastcliff.”Charlie simply hummed and didn’t say anything more.Yule tacitly dropped the subject and asked, “Charlie, you said you were going to your friend’s grandmother’s birthday banquet tomorrow. Have you prepared a gift?”Charlie replied, “Not yet. I plan to hit the streets to look for it later.”Although Charlie had the Rejuvenating Pill that was a significant and precious gift to the elderly, he couldn’t give Loreen’s grandmother such an expensive gift for her birthday since he had never even met her before. Therefore, he planned to buy a gift with a price range of a hundred thousand to show his sincerity.Hearing that, Yule laughed and said, “I have a small painting at home—it is Henri Matisse’s Portrait de Famil

Charlie rubbed his nose awkwardly as he answered, “Uhm… I’m your best friend’s husband!”Loreen replied in a somewhat indifferent tone, “I know. A fake husband and a fake marriage for four years. I wonder how much longer this make-believe game will last.”Just when they were chatting, a limited edition Bentley drove up to the front of the villa and stopped beside them. The back seat window was wound down, and a luxuriously dressed woman poked her head out of the window. The woman looked at Loreen and asked, “Loreen, why are you out here?”As soon as Loreen saw the woman, she hurriedly smiled and said, “Oh, auntie! Where is uncle?”The woman in the car answered, “He’s busy with his work. He’ll come at noon before the banquet starts.”Loreen continued, “Where’s cuz?”The woman sighed and replied, “I haven’t seen him since last night. Argh, I’m so pissed. He is so stubborn! It wasn’t long after his surgery that he started to stay out all night again. Talk to him, will you?”Loreen

Charlie didn’t know who Loreen’s cousin was, but he didn’t find it weird to bump into an arrogant rich kid or two since he was in Eastcliff. The place was known for having a lot of rich people, and eight or nine out of ten over-privileged rich kids would turn out to be obnoxious and cocky.When he and Loreen arrived at the entrance of the Thomas family’s house, the front porch and garage were already full of all kinds of luxury cars.Two men were warmly welcoming and greeting the guests outside the door, and Loreen hurried forward and said, “Dad, uncle, let me introduce you to my friend from Aurous Hill, Charlie Wade.”The men sized Charlie up, and Loreen’s uncle replied, “I haven’t heard of any Wade family members in Aurous Hill.”Loreen quickly explained, “Oh, Charlie is not from any family. He was my college mate.”Back then, Lord Wilson signed Charlie up into a one-year program at Aurous University where he was not only Claire’s classmate but also Loreen’s.Loreen didn’t stat

With a cold expression, Loreen stated, “Dad, I’m not interested. Please don’t ask me again to get to know him!”With that, she looked at Charlie and added, “Charlie, let’s go inside!”“You!” Javier chided angrily. “Why are you so stubborn? If you could be with the young master of the Golding family, you wouldn’t have to go to Aurous Hill anymore!”Subconsciously, Loreen took a glimpse at Charlie again before she responded to her father in a stern voice, “I like Aurous Hill! I will definitely look for a husband there!”Javier rebuked, “What are you talking about? There is no prominent family in Aurous Hill! How can you find a suitable candidate there? Besides, how can my daughter marry a man from such a sh*thole?”Disappointed, Loreen answered, “Dad, why have you become so snobbish now?”“I’m snobbish?” Javier growled. “I’m doing this for your own good!”At this moment, Loreen’s uncle spoke up, “That’s enough, Javier. Don’t rush it. Let Loreen go in with her friend.”Since his b

Charlie followed Loreen into the house.The residences of prominent families in Eastcliff were extremely luxurious. Once you entered the door, the living hall alone was almost as big as a small banquet hall.At this moment, the living hall was very crowded and bustling with people and their chattery sounds. Many of Eastcliff’s prominent figures gathered in the hall, chatting in groups.Lady Thomas, accompanied by her husband, was talking and laughing with several old friends of her age.Loreen hurriedly said to Charlie, “My grandma is over there. Let’s go and meet her.”Charlie nodded and said with a smile, “We are just in time to give your grandmother the gift I prepared.”They walked in front of the old couple, and Loreen greeted them with a warm smile, “Grandma, Grandpa, let me introduce you... this is my college mate, Charlie Wade!”Lady Thomas smiled and said, “Oh my, it’s Loreen’s college mate! Welcome!”Then, she added, “By the way, Loreen, I remember a young girl who wa

At this moment, Loreen said to Dylan, “Cuz, let me introduce you to my college mate.”Charlie turned around with a wide grin on his face as soon as Loreen said that. The moment Dylan saw him, he opened his eyes so widely as if he saw a ghost!He was so shocked that it took him a long while before he came to his senses. Then, he started gritting his teeth and growling, “Oh! Charlie Wade! I was about to go after your *ss, and now you even dare to show up at my grandma’s house! I’ll f*cking kill you today!”Loreen shrieked in bewilderment and said, “Cuz, what are you talking about? Charlie is our guest... you can’t talk to him like that!”Dylan shouted, “Do you know why I had that surgery?”Loreen blurted, “My mom told me that you swallowed a necklace.”“That’s right!” Dylan shouted furiously. He added, “And why did I do that? It’s all because of this motherf*cker!”Charlie smirked. “Mr. Koch, please be reasonable and honest. Did I force you to swallow that necklace? Did I pry your

When Charlie saw that Dylan still had the same attitude as he did before, he could not help but sneer as he said, “Dylan, it seems that you really don’t know how to learn from your own past mistakes. Have you already forgotten how you swallowed the necklace the last time?”Back then, the main reason why Dylan was forced to swallow the necklace was that he lost a bet with Charlie. He thought very highly of himself just because he bought a necklace that was worth tens of millions of dollars. At the same time, he believed that the Rejuvenating Pill that Charlie gave to Jasmine was worthless.However, he really did not expect that a Rejuvenating Pill could be sold for a rocket high price of two billion dollars at Jasmine’s birthday banquet.After Dylan came back home, he had been pondering over this matter. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was not right.He had always felt that it was completely impossible for anyone to be willing to spend two billion dolla

Charlie nodded before he said, “Okay then. Let’s place our bets. If I lose, I will eat my painting. If you lose, you will eat your jade pendant.”“F*ck!” Dylan gritted his teeth and continued, “Okay! I don’t believe you! It is settled then! I bought my jade pendant for twenty four million dollars! I even have the receipt as proof of my transaction. How much is your broken painting worth?”Charlie did not actually know how much the painting was worth. However, he knew that the price of the Portrait de Famille painting by Henri Matisse had been rising rapidly in recent years. Therefore, Charlie was confident that the price of his painting was definitely worth much more compared to the price of the jade pendant.Although it was just a painting, it was by no means any random graffiti. Instead, it was a painting that had been very beautifully crafted by a professional artist.Henri Mattise’s top painting, the had once been auctioned off for a price of more than four

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
