The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 1651
Aurous Airport.The private jet arranged by Isaac had already been waiting in the hangar for a long time.Albert and Ichiro had already arrived and were now waiting below the parked jet too.Liam and Paul had also reached earlier, and they were all waiting for Charlie’s arrival.At nine in the morning.Isaac’s convoy made their way to the hangar, one car after the other.Isaac immediately got out of the car before swiftly walking to the other side to open Charlie’s door.The moment Charlie stepped out of the car, everyone stepped forward to greet him.Charlie nodded in response and said, “Has everyone arrived? If you are all here, we can get on the plane now.”Isaac made a quick headcount before replying to Charlie respectfully, “Mr. Wade, everyone is already here.”“Okay, let’s set off then!”In addition to Isaac, Albert, Liam, Paul, and Ichiro, who was accompanying Charlie on this trip to Japan, Albert and Isaac also brought a few subordinates. In total, there were twelve

As he thought about it, Ichiro could not help but feel a little guilty deep inside.He felt that sense of guilt because it would seem equivalent to him giving away his father’s entire life’s worth of hard work.An old Oskian saying—the younger generation, heirs inheriting their predecessor’s assets, would not feel any heartache when selling off everything the previous generation had worked so hard for. It was because they did not know or understand the hardships of their predecessors. However, this saying was directed at the prodigal son. Although Ichiro was not very capable, he could not be regarded as that.If he were really a prodigal son, then he would not have come to Oskia to participate in the Chinese Medicine Expo, and he would not have any thoughts or intentions of coveting Anthony’s magical pills.The reason why he was so determined to get his hands on the magical pills was simply that he wanted to continue developing Kobayashi Pharma so that Kobayashi Pharma could reach

Concurrently, Kobayashi Pharma’s headquarters in Tokyo was preparing to hold an emergency board of directors meeting.After Jiro, the chairman of Kobayashi Pharma, left for Oskia, he suddenly disappeared without a trace and left Kobayashi Pharma without a leader.In the beginning, the other Kobayashi Pharma directors were doing everything they could do to find Jiro’s whereabouts.However, even after putting in a lot of effort and hard work, Jiro was nowhere to be found at all.After that, they immediately contacted Ito Yahiko, the head of the Ito family.They contacted Yahiko because the directors of Kobayashi Pharma knew that Yahiko had been very optimistic about Kobayashi Pharma and Jiro. They also knew that he had been hoping that Jiro would become his son-in-law so that he could buy some of Kobayashi Pharma’s shares.Moreover, Jiro only went to Oskia simply because he wanted to pursue Yahiko’s daughter, Nanako.Nanako was already back in Japan, but Jiro had entirely disappea

Yahiko then called Masayoshi. As soon as the call was connected, he said, “Mr. Kobayashi, congratulations on your appointment as the acting chairman!”Masayoshi said respectfully, “Mr. Ito, thank you for your kind words. I am just being appointed as the acting chairman temporarily. When my nephew, Jiro, returns to Kobayashi Pharma, I will certainly return this position to him.”Yahiko sneered before he said, “I deduce that Jiro will not be coming back anymore. Although you are only the acting chairman now, I believe that you will become the official chairman of Kobayashi Pharma soon!”Masayoshi secretly felt delighted inside. However, he kept his composure and continued saying, “Mr. Ito, to tell you the truth, I still think about Jiro day and night, and I hope that he will be able to return safely.”Yahiko smiled as he said, “Mr. Kobayashi, the reason why I called you today is not just to give you a polite greeting. I have a business proposal for you.”Masayoshi’s tone changed. He

In the Kobayashi Pharma’s conference room.Many distant family members of the Kobayashi family and several top-level business executives were all seated solemnly.There had been just too many incidents happening in Kobayashi Pharma, one after another, and the tense situation made everyone who was present feel a little nervous.First, the old chairman died tragically because he was poisoned to death. Next, the eldest young master was suspected of using poison to kill his biological father. The second young master then began persecuting and hunting his elder brother down, and he was said to have already died. After that, the second young master also suddenly disappeared. It certainly seemed as though this family of three had incurred the wrath of heaven and was being punished and condemned.However, even though they were nervous, each of them was still full of anticipation and high hopes for the future.This was because they had not been able to have any deep participation in the pl

Kobayashi Stomach Pill was the key product of Kobayashi Pharma, which generated most of the company’s revenues and profit. Kobayashi Pharma would definitely suffer a devastating loss if they rivaled Apothecary Stomach Pill heads-on after it was launched.Therefore, someone asked Kobayashi Masayoshi, “Mr. Chairman, we can’t just sit and await our dooms! Do you have any idea on how to deal with it?”Masayoshi replied, “Indeed, there is a way to deal with it. We must increase our investment in drug research and development, and we must also quickly upgrade our current products. If our Kobayashi Stomach Pill can surpass Apothecary Stomach Pill in terms of potency, I’m sure we can dominate and monopolize the market!”The person in charge of research and development continued, “Mr. Chairman, if we want to increase the funding for our department, we need a huge budget. Can we still afford it since the company was scammed not long ago?”Masayoshi cleared his throat and answered, “This is w

Actually, Masayoshi’s remarks were not unreasonable.There was certainly an information gap between Ito Yahiko and him because of the different understanding of the market.At this moment, Ito Yahiko must have thought that Kobayashi Stomach Pill was invincible, and he would love to get on the money-making bandwagon, which was Kobayashi Pharma.However, Masayoshi and other Kobayashi family members were now aware of the existence of the Apothecary Pharmaceutical. They also knew that at this moment, a type of drug called Apothecary Stomach Pill became very popular in Oskia and Aurous Hill and that the efficacy of the pill was much better than the Kobayashi Stomach Pill.Therefore, upon hearing Masayoshi’s concerns, the others changed their mind almost immediately.A moment ago, they firmly believed that Kobayashi Pharma must have a valuation of at least 20 billion and anything less than that was absolutely unacceptable, let alone 15 billion.But now they realized that it was a rare

Now, Nanako was recovering in Kyoto. Hiroshi went to Oskia the other day to look for medicine for her but was unsuccessful. So, he returned to Tokyo to report back to Yahiko and then stayed in Tokyo.In addition to the Lexus sedan that Yahiko was riding, there were ten bodyguards in two Lexus SUVs sandwiching Yahiko’s car in the middle in the form of a convoy as they drove to Kobayashi Pharma.Inside the car, Yahiko was delighted. He analyzed Kobayashi Pharma’s financial reports and market sales in the past two years and found that the company’s future was very promising. He was certain that it was definitely the best time to take a stake in the company now.Therefore, in his opinion, the 4.5 billion dollar investment in Kobayashi Pharma was like Jake planting magical beans in his backyard. The future harvest was at least 15 billion dollars or more. 15 billion dollars was equivalent to 1.5 trillion yen!No one could sit still and hold back their excitement when the thought of such

Ares LLP was the biggest law firm in the States, and only the best of the best were recruited as associates.If Jimmy got to pick ten of their partners, he was basically taking a huge chunk out of their human resources.Moreover, the partners' salaries would be very expensive. With Jimmy included, eleven of them meant over a hundred million US dollars at minimum. Ares would definitely be maimed if they had to pay that much money while losing ten of their elites! Naturally, Jimmy didn't feel confident about achieving that, and he asked Charlie, "Mr. Wade… Don't you think it's too much? Would Nate even agree to that?"Charlie shrugged. "Of course he won't agree if you're the one asking, but he would definitely say yes if it were Julien."Julien almost rolled his eyes.The man was truly ruthless, ready to inflict so much damage at the drop of a hat.Worst of all, he was going to play the villain for Charlie.Still, he said confidently, "Don't worry, Mr. Wade! I will pressure him

However, Jimmy realized something important even as he sighed in relief. "Wait, Mr. Wade… I know I should settle things in the family Stateside, but won't I be arrested upon arrival?""That's Julien's department," Charlie chuckled and turned toward the man. "Tell your butler not to send the evidence to the feds. If it has reached them already, ask to have it back and tell the feds they saw nothing."Julien promptly nodded. "I'll text him right now. You have nothing to worry about, Mr. Wade."Jimmy remained worried. "But sir, I think Nate's not going to let this slide. The man is cunning—he deliberately dug a pit so we'd fall into it, and he gathered all the dirt he could on us to be used as leverage when necessary."Charlie shook his head. "That's no big deal. Julien can make sure that you're fine even if the feds get the evidence."Julien nodded nearby. "Don't worry, Mr. Wade. The decision remains in your hands, either way. Just say the word, and it's 25 to life… otherwise, not e

The fact that Jimmy was a partner in Ares LLP already meant he had skill, while Matilda had herself been retired for years and definitely had lost her touch a little. So, having someone like Jimmy who had stayed on the frontlines all this while would definitely be no issue.And in turn, it was a good thing for Jimmy as it was better than the kennels either way.Charlie then asked Jimmy pointedly, "You say you're interested, but are you sincere about it?"Jimmy nodded without hesitation. "Yes, absolutely!""No regrets? We're talking about ten years here.""None, absolutely none!""Do you know what to say if anyone asks?""Yes, of course! I chose to further my career here in Oskia, and it was absolutely voluntary! That's what I'd say even if my family asked!"Charlie nodded. "Good. Then, you will have two weeks. Go home and set your affairs in order and report in for work afterward.""No problem!" Jimmy nodded repeatedly, actually surprised and grateful that Charlie would let hi

And yet, Julien was suddenly clapping his hands, and exclaiming excitedly, "Yes, right! We should get his wife and son over too for a happy reunion!"He then paused and quickly corrected himself, "Wait, no! I mean, they should each be caged with one empty cage separating each of their cages. They can see each other and talk, but there will be no touching. How dare he flex on me—I gotta teach him a lesson to remember!"Jimmy dropped limply on his rump, and Matilda beckoned for Paul to help him up while turning toward Julien as she pursed her lips. "Please, Mr. Rothschild… Even if you don't accept his apology, don't bring his family into this. It's against Oskian tradition—you'd insult your family's name!"Julien shrugged, not hesitating to retort, "What do your traditions have to do with me? If I mean to hurt him, forget his family—I'll drag his dogs over too!"Seeing that Julien was so furious, Charlie decided to stop him, or he might actually go through with it."That's enough, J

Holding up a thumb at Charlie, Julien exclaimed in approval, "You're right, my friend! That's far more exciting than having him jailed!"Just hearing that he would be sent to a kennel, Jimmy knew nothing would come of it—even if he didn't know the details, it was so obvious that Julien was thrilled by the very idea!Turning nervously toward Charlie, he was sobbing as he asked, "Mr. Wade…? What's this about a kennel…?"Julien chuckled coolly even before Charlie said a word. "A kennel is where you keep dogs, of course. Though there are literal dogs and metaphorical dogs, and you are the latter."Oh, don't worry. It's a really nice place where you get your own cage, and you'll be fed every day. You don't even have to work, so just sit tight and keep eating until the day you die."Jimmy's soul left his body in that instant.He was going to be locked in a cage?! That was way worse than being locked up and sent to jail! Where was the humanity around here?!Even as the thought struck h

Matilda was actually caught off guard by Jimmy's pleas, and even Paul found it hard to watch.Turning to Charlie, he said, "Please, Mr. Wade—my uncle can be a little despicable, but he is my father's brother. Please, let him have a chance to turn over a new leaf, seeing that he's earnestly repenting."While Paul spoke with Charlie, Jimmy was still confused and wondered why Paul would plead his case with Charlie instead of Julien. If there was anyone Paul should ask, it was Yolden since he was Julien's friend. So, why would he ask some young man instead of Yolden?That was when Charlie asked in curiosity, "You want to let him off? After he tried to take away your parents' legacy?"Paul smiled awkwardly. "I mean, I know the guy. He made sure to travel all this way to make a scene because he had nothing legal that could help him claim Smith Group Corporate Law from us. Otherwise, he'd have already filed the lawsuit in the States. Sure, it's a dirty move, but that's basically a des

As Julien finished, he realized something was wrong and turned toward Charlie before he knew it.Charlie held his gaze in turn, his expression quizzical and amused.Julien cleared his throat right then. "See, there are people who can order me around, but they have my utmost respect. However, a third-rate lawyer like you? Who do you think you are?"That was when Julien's butler called, and he reported respectfully as soon as the call was answered, "Sir, I've spoken with Nate Ellis, the owner of Ares LLC. He has since agreed to fire Jimmy Smith right away as well as disbar him nationwide."Julien asked, "Good. Anything else?""Well, Mr. Ellis also delivered some documents that can be used as evidence against Jimmy Smith, which he claims is enough for a lifetime sentence. If you deem it necessary, we can have it sent to the FBI.""Yes, let's go with that!" Julien replied, his tone satisfied. "And ask the director to handle it personally—I want this prick to never set foot stateside
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6611
Jimmy was sweating profusely in fear, but he argued back before he knew it, "That's impossible! Everything you say is bullshit! Gaiman simply thought he had a fair chance of winning and didn't want to pay Ares that much, and I have no idea who he partnered with, and I'm certainly not involved. Don't you try to slander me!"Nate chuckled. "Come on, Jimmy. We're all adults here, so there are things we shouldn't have to be so direct about. Mills Gaiman and your old classmate met in private many times, not to mention the private conferences you three had in secret, discussing your overall strategy and decisive points. Just so you know, Gaiman recorded every conversation, and I have the tapes with me."Jimmy's heart was left pounding as he blurted, "B-Bullshit! That's impossible!""Grow up, Jimmy," Mr.Goodman chuckled. "Every partner in every law firm always strives to rise higher, so I'm going to need as much leverage as I can. Otherwise, I'm not about to let them advance any further, e

Although the ringtone and vibration frequency were the ones Jimmy always used, this call somehow felt more urgent, leaving him exceedingly uneasy.When it abruptly stopped and left a missed call on his log, Nate Ellis soon sent a text: [Answer your damn phone this instant!]Just seeing the text left Jimmy feeling like his throat had gone dry, and as he gulped, it felt like his throat was being ripped, leaving him hurting.Still, he couldn't care less as his boss called again.Having seen the text, Jimmy didn't hesitate this time and promptly answered, watching Julien's smug face as he started tentatively, "Y-Yes, boss...?"Nate immediately yelled at him hysterically, "What the hell did you do?! Why did the Rothschilds call to complain about you?! And the complaint was from their heir apparent, at that! I worked hard for them and always toed the line for years, and I still haven't gotten a chance to meet the man, so how the fuck did you upset him?!"Jimmy's heart sank to rock bott
