Chapter 17

作者: Lord Leaf
Sabrina hurriedly put on a coy smile and said to Charlie in a flattering voice, “Class rep, welcome to Shangri-La. It’s our honor for you to visit us and it’s also my pleasure as your former collegemate. Please come in…”

She assumed that her compliments and gentle tone would make Charlie forget her rude behavior towards him earlier.

Unfortunately for her, Charlie was not as kind as she thought he was.

Isaac gaped in surprise when he heard Sabrina’s remark and quickly asked, “Lee, you’re Mr. Wade’s college mate?”

“Yes, yes!” Sabrina said frantically, “Mr. Wade was my class rep when we were in college, we’re quite close!”

Isaac announced instantly, “Go to the president’s office tomorrow. You’ll be the HR manager of Shangri-La!”

In Shangri-La, the promotion from team leader to HR manager was at least a three-tier difference in ranking. Not only would her salary and welfare package increase by tenfold, but she would also control the manpower of most employees in the hotel. The HR manager was considered among the high-level executives at managerial level.

Sabrina was so thrilled when she heard his statement that she almost fainted.

Charlie uttered coldly, “Mr. Cameron, do you know what kind of relationship I have with Sabrina Lee?”

Isaac assumed that Charlie was displeased with the arrangement and immediately said, “Mr. Wade, I can promote Miss Lee to vice president if it pleases you!”

Charlie said abruptly, “I called Sabrina Lee for help because I didn’t have a membership card, but out of nowhere, she insulted me for no reason and even urged the guards to beat me. Yet, now you want to promote her to vice president? What do you mean by that? Do you want to intentionally piss me off?”

Isaac felt blood drained off his body.

He had aimed his flattery in the wrong direction!

Next, the glare he pointed at Sabrina was filled with wrath and fury.

He swung his hand across her face and growled in great dismay, “How dare you offend Mr. Wade? Did you borrow your courage from a lion? You wish to die, don’t you?”

Sabrina was so frightful that she knelt down on the ground, shaking in great fear as she wailed and pleaded, “Mr. Cameron, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry.”

Isaac lifted his leg and kicked her fiercely, sending her a distance away, and shouted, “You ignorant b*tch! I’ll teach you a lesson today about the price you have to pay for offending Mr. Wade!”

He then turned to the security guards and shouted, “Give her a good beating! Don’t be merciful, destroy that plastic face of hers and make an announcement to the entire Aurous Hill that whoever dares to hire her would indicate that they’re going up against me, Isaac Cameron!”

Sabrina was extremely scared. She pleaded hastily, “Mr. Cameron, I’m sorry, please forgive me!”

Isaac’s face blushed in a hot red shade as he shouted, “Now you know that you’re sorry, huh! What drained your brain earlier? How dare you provoke Mr. Wade? If it’s not because of him, I’d kill you right now!”

Tears drenched Sabrina’s face. Kneeling on the ground, she crawled in front of Charlie and bowed vigorously. “Mr. Wade, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry! I beg you, please, for the sake of our friendship…”

Charlie glanced at her coldly and said, “Sabrina Lee, we’re friends, but why did you insult me and my wife just now?”

“Class rep, I was out of my mind just now. It’s all because of my filthy mouth, please forgive me…”

“I wouldn’t attack unless I’m attacked first. Since you’ve attacked me, I’ll never spare you! You left me no choice!”

Charlie then snorted in dismay. “Take a dose of your own medicine, you ignorant woman!”

Isaac growled, “B*tch! Don’t you dare pester Mr. Wade again, I’ll tear your mouth off your plastic face!”

Sabrina didn’t dare to speak another word. She knelt on the floor and wept bitterly.

Charlie ignored her completely. He looked at Isaac and said flatly, “I want to talk to you about the Sky Garden, let’s go to your office.”

Isaac nodded vigorously as he led the way. “Of course, Mr. Wade, please come this way!”

Before he left, he turned to the guards and shouted, “Teach her a lesson and don’t stop without my order!”

“Yes, Mr. Cameron!”

The guards nodded frightfully. They dashed towards Sabrina, pressed her against the floor, and gave her a good beating.

Behind Charlie, Sabrina was wailing and screaming continuously, but he couldn’t care less. Isaac escorted him into Shangri-La.

Once they were at Isaac’s office, Charlie cut to the chase and uttered, “My wife and I will celebrate our wedding anniversary in a few days’ time, I want to book the whole Sky Garden. May I?”

Isaac answered without a doubt, “Young Master, for the sake of fairness to all the premium members, we disallow the charter of the Sky Garden entirely, not even to prominent politicians in the city. However, the Sky Garden will be reserved for you and only you in the future!”

Charlie said flatly, “That’s not necessary, I just need it for my wedding anniversary. In addition, I need your help to prepare a surprise for my wife.”

“No problem! Please rest assured that all the staff of Shangri-La and I will always obey your orders and requests!”

***

After settling the matters in Shangri-La, Charlie hopped onto the bus and went home. He realized that almost all the passengers on the bus were watching videos and short clips on their phones.

To his surprise, everyone was watching the same video!

It was the video of him showing off the thirteen million dollars in cash in Emerald Court the other day!

The video began when Stephen and the team of security guards stepped out of the black Rolls-Royces. Then, the screen shifted to the guards carrying dozens of black suitcases into Emerald Court and hurled them all on the floor, humiliating the ignorant and cocky sales manager. The whole incident had been shot and posted on the Internet.

However, the video failed to capture Charlie’s face.

The video spread across Aurous Hill like wildfire. Curiosity filled the city as people were speculating on who was the ultra-rich man behind all this. Many girls started to daydream about their own rags-to-riches Cinderella fiction, wishing they could meet the mysterious Prince Charming soon.

Charlie heaved a sigh of relief after repeatedly confirming that his face was too blurry in the video to be identified.

When he finally got back home, it was filled with celebratory joy and excitement.

Claire had won the Emgrand Group contract and was about to be appointed as the director of Wilson Group. Her parents burst into joyful tears.

After being taunted and ridiculed for so many years, they could finally embrace under the limelight and shine!

Thanks to his in-laws’ pleasant mood, they didn’t find him despicable or annoying like they used to.

Elaine said happily, “Hah, I’m so happy today! My girl is extraordinary!”

She then turned to Charlie and said with a smile, which was an extremely rare scene, “Charlie, despite your uselessness, I’ll give credit where credit’s due, Claire managed to succeed thanks to your motivation, so you don’t have to make dinner tonight. We’ll go out and celebrate!”

Claire chuckled. “Let’s go to Kempinski!”

“It’s too expensive!” Elaine blurted in shock. “It’s at least one thousand dollars per person, isn’t it?”

Claire laughed gleefully and said, “Mom, the salary of the director is very high, with an annual income of one million.”

“Wow!” Elaine clapped her hands and cheered, “That’s awesome! My dear Claire has finally accomplished something significant!”

After a quick thought, she continued, “But you’ll need to give me 70% of your salary. You youngsters don’t know how to manage your money, give me the money and I’ll manage it for you. I’m sure it’s more reliable than you saving it on your own!”

Claire nodded. “Okay, Mom. I promise to give it to you every month, but we’ll have to set some ground rules here. Don’t taunt Charlie again, he’s your son-in-law, for goodness’ sake!”

“Okay, alright! For your sake, I promise I’ll not criticize him as much as I usually do!”

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 7795

    To move the kombuc tree, Charlie took the soil from his ring and placed it into the center of the marble slabs. When the soil pile was less than six feet from the top, he took the kombuc tree out of the void pocket, gently placing it at the center of the soil. As the kombuc tree roots were brought together with the rest of the tree, Charlie completely covered the roots with more soil. Once he did, he was surprised to see the already lush tree canopy rapidly expanding, with almost twice the number of tender green buds. With the emergence of numerous buds, the trunk and branches of the entire tree visibly thickened instantly, as if it were growing rapidly like a child in puberty. Charlie realized this might be the kombuc tree's own cultivation level. It had grown step by step from a tea tree to reach the Trial of Transcendence, likely transcending painstakingly across different realms. Vera watched in amazement at the fresh buds, murmuring, "This is really the right place for it—

    Seeing that, Charlie finally had a fair idea of how it all worked.As he took objects outside, the nearest tip of the object must not exceed sixty feet from himself.So if it was something like a 150-foot-long log, the far end can be as far as 210 feet, while the nearest must remain within sixty feet of him.If the logs were replaced with a massive steel dome 150 feet in diameter, the dome's maximum coverage distance would reach 210 feet too. But what if it were a giant steel pot instead? Making it some ten feet thick while 240 feet from handle to handle, and with the sixty-foot telekinesis limit, it really covered a length of 300 feet. Within such distances, Charlie could fight if he wanted—or slam the supermassive pot over them if he couldn't. It might crush them like a cockroach, and not even Fleur would be able to escape that quickly… Could she? So if he really found himself losing, he'd just send the pot over Fleur's head, and buy time enough to run away. Most important

    As a rule, the void ring required physical contact with the object for a deposit into the inside of the void pocket. That was not necessary when making a withdrawal—Charlie just had to imagine where he wanted the object placed, and it would be placed there.Charlie hence focused his concentration on the thousands of slabs of marble, imagining in his mind where he wanted them.And in an instant, they materialized out on the floor of the plaza. The weight-length ratio of each slab was one to seven, and it thus formed a square when seven were placed adjacent to each other. While Charlie arranged them into a bigger square with an empty center, he stacked up to seven layers of slabs. Once the first layer was done, he lay the second layer horizontally so each layer intersected at a 90 degree angle, ensuring balance instead of directly stacking them over each other.Soon, as more marble slabs flew out of the void pocket into a wall around him, Charlie took Vera's hand and leaped to the

    Even though they quickly passed through the airport by pulling strings, the journey still took at least four hours—two hours was spent in flight, while at least one hour was spent in the car.After all, Crane's Cry was far away from Westron's cities. The dozen mile journey wasn't all that far, and an hour was the optimal travel duration considering the complicated paths.And that's just reaching the mountain—they still needed an hour to walk to the cave where the portal was, since Charlie was with Vera.If they had a helicopter, that certainly spared them a lot of time, needing just twenty minutes instead of traveling by car.As they alighted and trekked up Crane's Cry along the lightless mountain road, it was another hour before they finally reached the cave where the portal was hidden.Holding Vera's hand, Charlie cast the mental incantation in his mind, and they were suddenly inside.It was dark outside, but the interior of the cave had a mild, comfortable glow just like the A

    Vera agreed with Charlie—the ring itself could teleport an owner it acknowledged, and that already made it one of the best forms of transportation there was. In fact, those ancient cultivators who reigned before the Degenerate Age of Dharma didn't even need a fixed point portal to teleport from one place to another—they could have just gone to any place they liked with the ring.And yet, for some reason, the teleportation function of the ring could only be triggered when it's life-or-death situations…However, even as Charlie was left utterly confused, Vera was racking her brains and then suggested an idea, "Perhaps the ring does have a teleportation function, but you had yet to trigger it?"Charlie was left taken aback for three seconds, and cringed as he admitted solemnly, "Well, that makes sense…"He trailed off, when it came to his mind and he quickly asked, "In that case, why make those nine portals across the world?"Vera smiled as she explained her idea. "Let's consider t

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 7790

    Vera yelped in fright—she had never seen so many bugs swarming in a split second, and promptly hid behind Charlie.Charlie wasn't afraid of insects, but was still more or less unsettled seeing such a dense swarm, and hence channeled his Reiki into a strong gale, blowing them away.Still a little confused, Vera asked, "Where did those bugs come from? That's too many…"Charlie shook his head somberly. "They were probably dwelling in the soil I took.""Dwelling?" Vera blurted in surprise. "You can't move them along with the soil?"Charlie was surprised by Vera's quick thinking once again, and thought about it. "Probably not. But I didn't think of them when I moved the soil, so the technique didn't move them as well."Vera nodded in understanding. "That means any form of fauna can be put inside, only flora.""That's right," Charlie replied. "As the void pocket has no concept of time, plants won't grow further… But it seems that any form of fauna—even the non-sentient—can't be put in

    Julian found nothing unusual from Charlie’s words.However, he quietly pricked his ears, ready to listen to Charlie’s phone conversation.
