Charlie nodded before he smiled and said, โIโve come to meet all the masters here today.โA middle-aged man dressed in a long gown asked in surprise, โSo, is this the buyer who bought the final treasure at the auction for one hundred million dollars?โFinn smiled before he introduced Charlie to the crowd. โYes, this is Mr. Wade.โโWhat? Can he be considered a master too?โ Zeke asked as he glanced at Charlie disdainfully. After that, he smiled before he said, โIt seems as though anyone can call themselves a master nowadays. Any piece of trash on the street can also call themselves a master. However, though Mr. Yaleman is truly a master, he is so humble and he always keeps a low-profile.โThe crowd of people felt very awkward as soon as Zeke finished speaking.Even though Zeke was belittling Charlie on purpose, everyone else agreed that Charlie could not be called a master, whether because of his age or the way he dressed.Almost all of the guests present here today were masters in

At this time, Zeke suddenly spoke up, โEveryone, please calm down. Mr. Yaleman is also doing this in consideration of the metaphysics circle! In the past, all of us were scattered all over the place. Now, if we choose to organize ourselves and form an alliance led by a single leader, it will definitely be more convenient for us to deal with any enemies in future. Moreover, if the challenger chooses a category that you arenโt good at, wouldnโt it be best for the rest of us? Our leader should be someone who is qualified and proficient in all aspects and disciplines in metaphysics.โAfter he spoke, some of the people sternly objected to the idea while some of the guests actually felt that this was indeed a good opportunity.After all, the winner would be given the opportunity to demand something from the loser. Moreover, if they got the first place, they would also be regarded as the leader of the metaphysics world.Metaphysics was not solely an academic term!If someone was seriously

Mr. Yaleman simply smiled without saying anything.Everyone was curious as they waited for the results.An hour passed by quickly and at this time, Jared was staring into space as he was feeling a little nervous.Suddenly, a loud bang was heard from the west! After that, a strong wind swept across the garden and there was a slight vibration from the ground.Zeke smiled as he looked at his cell phone and said, โBased on the news feed that I have just received, it seems as though someone tried to move some quarry rocks and it caused an explosion and a 2.4 magnitude earthquake in the west. The police have already arrested the culprit.โAt this time, Jared raised his head and he no longer looked as arrogant as he was before this. He smiled awkwardly before he said, โMr. Yaleman, youโre really incredible! I admit defeat. Today, I, Jared Young, have lost to you. I will withdraw from this banquet immediately.โAfter that, Jared picked up his jade before he turned around as he was prepar

Travis was a man with a very high status and reputation. Therefore, he felt very irritated by Jackโs words. โWhat do you mean?โโMr. Lane, let me deal with him!โMatthew said in a deep voice at this time as he stepped forward to defend Travis. โIf you dare to stop Mr. Lane from leaving, then do not blame me for being merciless.โEveryone started cheering when they saw that Matthew was about to make a move.โMr. Gibson, let this despicable man taste the power of your fists!โโAn outsider actually wants to be in control of the entire metaphysics circle. He must be crazy! I think he should stop daydreaming.โโHold him back. Donโt let him get his way!โAt this time, Jack smiled as he glared at Matthew with a cold expression on his face. โIf you really think you can defeat me, then bring it on.โMatthew was furious at this time and he launched himself towards Jack as he aimed his fist at his face. This was obviously a very powerful punch because Matthew was not an ordinary man.โDo

At this time, Matthew was still lying on the ground and his face was flushed red with embarrassment. He could not control his own body or reflexes and he really felt like dying right then.Jack waved his hand and Matthew lost all of his strength and he collapsed to the ground immediately. He felt extremely ashamed of himself at this time.โWell, so are you finally convinced now, Mr. Gibson?โ Zeke asked as he laughed.Matthew gritted his teeth and blood oozed out of his gums as he murmured bitterly, โFine, you winโฆyou winโฆโWhen Matthew finally lowered his head as he was utterly defeated, the whole courtyard was silent as no one dared to say anything anymore.After that, Jack turned his head to look at Charlie before he said, โSo, you snatched the valuable clam that I wanted to buy at the auction the other day. Since youโve already witnessed my skills and magical abilities today, do you still dare to be so arrogant now?โCharlie shrugged before he said, โJust two simple strokes an

When Jack saw that Charlie was persistent to the end, he could only sneer as he instructed Zeke. โIt seems as though some people are really tired of living. No matter what it is, I will teach him where he stands. Zeke, please get me a three-pillar sandalwood, a purple gold incense burner, and a peach wooden sword. I will show him what a true master is.โZeke did not dare to react slowly. Therefore, he quickly prepared all the items that Jack asked for.After a short while, Jack placed the sandalwood into the incense burner. At this time, thick clear smoke from the incense filled the air.Mr. Yaleman raised the peach wooden sword before he started chanting immediately.At this time, Graham, who was standing next to him, suddenly felt very dizzy as though someone had just given him a few shots. He endured it for a short while before he pleaded, โMr. Yaleman, how long will this lastโฆโโThe โyinโ energy in your family is very heavy right now. That is the reason why it might take som
The Charismatic Charlie Wadeย ย ย Chapter 166
Charlie replied coldly, โThat is your lifeline. The reason why the evil spirit could be appeased so easily is because Jack is using your life as a trade-off! Within three days, this red line will extend all the way to your elbow! After that, you will drop dead immediately. Jack is using all the virtues and good deeds that you have accumulated in your lifetime, and he is sacrificing your life in exchange for the lives of the rest of the Quinton family members!โGraham was shocked when he heard Charlieโs words. He froze in place because he was utterly shocked.Adam was also panicking at this time as he looked at the people around them.All of the masters who were present nodded slightly as they witnessed this scene. Graham will not live for more than three days.Adam knelt on the ground before he begged Jack, โMr. Yaleman! Please, please save my second uncleโs life!โAt this time, Jack stared at Adam with an arrogant expression on his face as he sneered and said, โI have already use

In less than five minutes, all the fresh dishes on the table had already turned rotten and countless black mosquitoes started emerging from the rotten food.There was a rooster that the White family had raised ever since it was a chick in the White family courtyard.A few black mosquitoes flew to the rooster at a very fast speed. After less than ten seconds, the rooster started screaming as it flapped its wings frantically. After that, it fell to the ground and started convulsing until it dropped dead.Within a few seconds, many large black mosquitoes started emerging from the feathers of the dead rooster.At this time, the black mosquitoes were densely packed in the sky as they rushed towards the crowd of people like a whirlwind.It was very chaotic in the courtyard as the crowd of people tried desperately to avoid the black mosquitoes, as not only were the black mosquitoes extremely poisonous but they could also enter a personโs flesh through a wound on the skin.Even though th

Pausing, Charlie then said, "I'll call Steve to drop by later too. I'm sure folks in Aurous Hill won't know him, but your potential troublemaker might.""I-Is that really fine?" Yolden blurted."What's not fine about it?" Charlie chuckled. "He has been treated like a tool ever since he came to Aurous Hill, and now that he has a chance to strut about, he wouldn't ask for more."Yolden appeared slightly relieved at that, and Charlie asked, "By the way, where's Paul, Matilda, and Autumn?""Getting their makeup done," Yolden replied. "Paul's my best man while Autumn's the maid of honor.""Good," Charlie nodded with a grin. "Don't worryโthe wedding's going to be a success."As they spoke, Matilda stepped out of the dressing room in a stark-white wedding dress, flanked by Autumn and Paul.Seeing Charlie, Autumn nodded politely, "Good morning, Mr. Wade."As Charlie nodded in turn, Paul started, "G-Good morningโฆ Mr. Wadeโฆ"Seeing that he was nervous and tentative, Charlie knew that he

As Yolden and Matilda were remarrying after living abroad for years, the wedding ceremony was much simpler, skipping Oskian customs and having a simple wedding reception for their guests at the hotel hall.There weren't that many guests eitherโaside from their children and close friends, only a handful of Yolden's colleagues at Aurous Hill University were invited.As the celebrant, Charlie didn't have much to do and was mainly the emcee.He brought along his jacket as he headed out to Shangri-La, not wearing it immediately so that Claire wouldn't guess that he was attending Matilda's wedding.Arriving at the Hanging Gardens before the guests were supposed to arrive, he found Yolden working with the staff to finalize the preparations.Seeing Charlie, Yolden approached him and said, "Thanks for coming this early, Charlie."Noticing that he was a little tired, Charlie asked in concern, "Had a bad night?"Yolden nodded, sighing, "Paul's uncle caused a huge mess. Both Matilda and I a

Tarlon nodded. "How do you suggest we find them?"Fleur scowled. "There's no rush. There are things which I'm still confused about, so just keep a close eye on the Ackers and the Wades for the time being. Report to me right away if anything important comes upโdon't afford our enemies any opportunities to exploit.""Yes, milady!" -The next day, more news outlets were covering the joint project between the Ackers and the Wades as word continued to spread.However, neither family revealed too many details, be it the name of the company, who was the CEO, or the scale of their business.While the public was dying with curiosity, nothing else was known.Still, Aurous Hill's officials were especially interested, with the town hall visiting the Ackers the next day and showing utmost sincerity by leasing a whopping 2-million-square-meter land along the southern highway. Still, the condition was for the Ackers to come true on their promise to propel the city's economy to 15 billion US d

Fleur had repeatedly mentioned the conspiracy theory of Ashley using a body double over the last twenty years.Tarlon had investigated from many different angles, but everything from the gender, age, dental records, to body figure pointed to the fact that the deceased was Ashley Acker.And yet, Fleur had never bought it, insisting that Curtis was prepared for them just because Curtis' son had gone missing soon after.There was no way Curtis would save his son but not his wife, and the disfigured corpse only added fuel to Fleur's suspicion.Thus, over the last twenty years, Fleur had kept a close eye on the Ackers, arranging for two 'scholars' to be embedded amongst their ranks as sleeper agents. She went that far all to determine if Ashley was dead or had faked her death.However, the scholars had since been killed in action, and they had no spies within the Ackers left.As for Tarlon, he still doubted Fleur's theory even now, but he remained respectful as he spoke, "Milady, I mu

Meanwhile, on the edge of the South Pole, Tarlon Griffin rushed outside of Fleur Griffin's room, knocking the door gingerly as he announced, "I have news, my lady!"Fleur didn't respond, but the thick wooden door between them slowly opened as if pushed by an invisible force.Tarlon entered to find Fleur seated on the floor with her legs crossed at the ankles. Her eyes remained closed as she molded her Reiki, asking, "What is it?"Tarlon quickly answered, "News from Oskia. The Ackers are partnering with the Wades on a joint venture into electric-powered vehicles."Fleur slowly opened her eyes, asking quietly, "And you're telling me because?"Tarlon quickly explained, "It just came out of the blue, so I thought I should report it to you right away."Fleur sighed. "After I tried and failed to wipe out the Ackers so many times, they wouldn't dare set foot stateside. If anything, they must have decided to seek asylum in Oskia by offering a substantial investment, and it's a base whe

Silent for a while, Matilda then asked Yolden, "Do you think I can do it?""Yes!" Yolden nodded without hesitation. "You definitely won't have any problems!"Matilda sighed, shaking her head. "We traveled far abroad to study while we were young, but we didn't return to Oskia to help the country's development. It's been thirty years since, and now that we have returned to the country at the same time, I definitely wouldn't turn down such an opportunity to help."Pausing, she then said, "That said, major corporations make it a point to not hire family members. Forget spousesโemployees aren't allowed to date, and one of the two will be asked to resign if necessary."Don't you think it's inappropriate since we are legally married, having gotten our certificate and all? And if we set these precedents, we would have trouble asking other employees to follow that policy. You are going to be a CEO, so you need a very clear answer on this issue."Yolden shrugged. "In the first place, that p

Yolden nodded slightly. "He does.""My goshโฆ" Matilda murmured. "That's too muchโฆ Ashley's son? A member of the Acker family and the Wades?!"Pausing, she then asked in confusion, "Wait, if Charlie has so much power and influence, why would he permanently reside in Aurous Hillโฆ No, why would he be content as Jacob Wilson's son-in-law? Does Jacob know who he really is?""Definitely not," Yolden shook his head. "There were some compelling circumstances, and his identity is a sensitive one. That's why I'm asking you to tell no one except Paulโand even then, you should only tell him if he can keep the secret."Matilda was sharp enough to pick up on the reasoning, too. "Charlie's hiding because of his parents' accident, isn't he?""Yes," Yolden sighed. "He has his plans, but I didn't pry since I can only do that much, let alone help him on that.""Got it," Matilda nodded repeatedly. "Don't worry. My lips are sealedโฆ And you just said you're resigning? Are you going to help with this e

"That would be Ashley Layna Acker," Matilda replied without hesitation. "She was our age, as well as a major investor in Silicon Valley, while we were only starting to get our first clients. It's no exaggeration to say that she's the shining example in many case studies when it comes to business."Pausing, she then continued, "And she used to be your classmate, right? I remember you mentioning that in our conversations before.""Yes," Yolden sighed emotionally. "She was a classmate and the star of our generation."Matilda nodded but soon shook her head, "Wait, weren't we talking about Charlie's car company? What does that have to do with Ashley Acker?" "Here's where I let you in on a secret," Yolden said. "But first, you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone except Paul."Matilda nodded without hesitation. "Don't worryโif it's a secret, I won't tell Paul either."Yolden scratched his head. "Actually, Paul should know. We are going to marry soon, and he's my stepson, lega

In fact, the legal department of major enterprises covered many responsibilities, the chief of which concerned intellectual property, which was why veterans were needed to lead.Additionally, Charlie trusted Matilda's accomplishments in the legal field, especially since she had worked in the United States for years.With Curtis Autos' intended expansion worldwide, that meant the legal department should also know the laws of countries abroad, ready to file or respond to lawsuits at any time. After all, competitors may use the law to impede their growth, along with the government applying unfair policies to impede their development and impact on local businesses.Moreover, Charlie considered Paul young and therefore lacking in experience, not to mention that it was not likely he would abandon his family's law firm. As such, the ideal solution was to poach Matilda for now.As for Matilda, she was still in the dark and had no idea what she was in for, asking Charlie in confusion, "Lega
