At this time, Jasmine also walked out onto the deck and asked Charlie in surprise, “Master Wade, are these people here for me?”Charlie shook his head. “No. They are here for me.”Jasmine was even more surprised when she saw Rosalie, who was motionless as she had an arrow stuck in her leg. So, she hurriedly asked him, “Master Wade, this woman is…”Charlie looked at Rosalie before he smiled slightly and said, “This little beauty here was our enemy before this, but she should not be considered as our enemy anymore.”After he was done speaking, he raised his brows at Rosalie again before he smiled and asked, “Little beauty, am I right?”Rosalie felt a little angry and embarrassed.Although she had already seen the Schulz family’s true colors, and although Charlie had indeed saved her life, she did not have a good impression of Charlie at all.After all, Charlie was the one who had reported her companions and herself to the Japanese Self-Defense Forces in the first place.Amongst h
At this time, Rosalie simply wanted to survive first before finding out the entire truth behind the whole matter.Although she was filled with hatred for the Schulz family, she still had a last hint of fantasy.She felt that if this matter had been planned and premeditated by her grandfather, Cadfan alone, and if her father, Sheldon, had not participated in this matter and was even kept in the dark, she would certainly feel much more relieved.However, if her grandfather, Cadfan, and her father, Sheldon, were both involved in this matter, she would just cut off all ties completely with the Schulz family, then!At this point, Rosalie looked at Charlie before she pleaded in a low voice, “I can go to Aurous Hill with you, but could you allow me to call my mother first? I have to let her know that I am still alive. Otherwise, she will definitely be very worried…”Charlie did not hesitate as he blurted out, “No!”Rosalie did not expect that Charlie would simply turn down her request j
The captain hurriedly nodded.At this time, the six men that Charlie had thrown into the sea had already drowned.Their bodies had now gradually begun to sink to the bottom of the sea.Charlie brought the captain to the other cruise ship. After the captain had set the course and direction for the ship, Charlie asked the captain to return to their ship first.Then, he set the power of the ship’s engine to its maximum and drove the ship forward immediately.When Jasmine, who was on the deck of the other ship, saw the ship driving away, she was a little worried, and she shouted, “Master Wade…”As soon as her voice fell, she saw a figure suddenly jumping off the ship, jumping into the water in a perfect parabola.Right after, she saw Charlie poking his head out of the water lightly as he swam back toward their ship without any delay at all.Jasmine was worried about Charlie, and she hurriedly grabbed a bath towel. As soon as Charlie got back onto the ship, she handed the bath towel
Martial arts emphasized the accumulation, operation, and use of internal strength in the body ever since ancient times. The so-called meridians, lower belly internal breathing method, big circulatory cycle, and small circulatory cycle were all based on this theory.The overall logic of Reiki was similar to internal strength. The most obvious difference was that in addition to its accumulation, operation, and use, Reiki could also be released externally.No matter how strong a person’s internal strength was, it could only rely and depend on the person’s own body. A master with good internal strength could easily kill a big and heavy cow or even an elephant with just a single punch.But even so, he would not be able to achieve the ability to kill a mouse by using the air around him.The main reason was simply because internal strength could not be released outside.At the end of the day, internal strength could actually be considered as the entry-level low version of Reiki.As for
However, another thought suddenly popped up in his mind, ‘This woman’s character is as strong as an untamed wild horse. Moreover, her methods are so vicious and cruel. For this kind of woman to be completely honest and submissive, I will have to wipe out her self-esteem completely first!’As he thought about this, Charlie had a cold expression on his face as he said, “Come, I will help you to sit on the single recliner chair first. You can lie down and I will help you to clean your wound!”Rosalie stammered as she said, “That… well, I can do it myself. Please just give me a pair of pliers as well as some debridement medicine and gauze to dress up the wound…”Charlie had an indifferent look on his face as he said, “It is actually not impossible for you to clean and deal with the wound by yourself. However, there are many blood vessels in your leg. As soon as you take the arrow out, your wound will definitely start bleeding heavily. If the wound has already injured your artery, as soo
Rosalie never expected Charlie to openly admit the fact that he was looking at her legs!Not only that, but he even replied in such a magnanimous and natural manner that Rosalie was suddenly a little lost even though she was feeling very furious and angry.Rosalie, who initially found fault with Charlie, suddenly did not know how she should react.Moreover, the little bit of anger in her heart simultaneously disappeared along with his honest confession.So, she could only glance at Charlie shyly before she turned her face around and said embarrassedly, “If you have already looked at it enough, please help me tend to my leg…”Charlie nodded before he smiled and said, “Okay, then. We can begin the treatment now.”Rosalie subconsciously asked, “You have already looked at it enough so soon?”After she was done speaking, Rosalie suddenly realized that what she had said did not come out the way that she had intended it to. So, she was very embarrassed as she hurriedly said, “Um, no… I
When Rosalie saw Charlie holding the pair of tweezers as he carefully helped her clean her wound, she suddenly began to feel a little fonder of this strange man who had made her feel extremely furious and angry before.So, she looked at Charlie before she asked in a curious voice, “Hey… I don’t even know what your name is yet!”Charlie smiled slightly and said, “Is my name that important to you?”Rosalie pretended to be annoyed as she said, “I have not settled the score with you yet for cheating me the last time! So, of course it is very important to me!”Charlie nodded before he said, “Well… the reason why I cheated you was simply because you were indeed a little too much when you killed and exterminated the entire Matsumoto family the last time. You are also an Oskian, so you should understand the culture of our ancestors. In Oskian culture, the concept of family is very highly valued. Don’t you know that it is an unforgivable crime for you to implicate and get a person’s entire
When he saw that Rosalie recognized his origins immediately, Charlie smiled slightly before he said calmly, “Yes. I could be regarded as a member of the Wade family, or perhaps, I was a member of the Wade family before this.”Rosalie thought for a moment before she muttered, “If you were a member of the Wade family before this, it can only mean that you are not in the Wade family now…”After that, Rosalie had a very shocked expression on her face as she said, “The Wade family is not considered a very prosperous family in the first place. So, I am actually very familiar with every direct descendant of the Wade family. If you are not in the Wade family now, there is a high probability that you are…”As the words reached her lips, Rosalie was so shocked that she could not even continue speaking!She stared at Charlie before she said in amazement, “Amongst the direct descendants of the Wade family, there is only one person who left the Wade family. That is none other than Curtis Wade.
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
