The reason why Charlie decided to save Rosalie was because he had seen right through the Schulz family’s intention to kill her. He was simply adhering to the basic principle where the ‘enemy of my enemy is a friend of mine’. This was why he had decided to save her.As long as Rosalie was already estranged from the Schulz family, she could likely prove to be of big help to Charlie when he decided to seek revenge on the Schulz family in the future.If he could keep Rosalie under control and turn her into his own subordinate, Charlie felt that his plan would not be entirely impossible.If he wanted to make use of a person, the most important thing would be for him to make sure that she owed him a favor.In this world, no other favor would be more important than repaying a favor for saving one’s life.Charlie’s current plan was to bring Rosalie back to Aurous Hill first. After that, he would hide her well before waiting to see whether there would be any changes in the Schulz family, o
When the ship arrived on the radar screen, the captain of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces smiled as he said, “D*mn it! Those b*stards have finally arrived after we have waited for so long!”His deputy smiled before he said, “Captain, if we manage to arrest Rosalie Schulz this time, it will certainly be another great achievement, right?”The captain nodded and said, “Of course! Rosalie Schulz is currently the number one felon in Japan. As long as we arrest her and bring her back to Japan, it will certainly be a great achievement no matter whether she is dead or alive!”As he spoke, he got a little excited as he eagerly said, “Try not to open fire later. We will try to capture her alive!”Very soon, the distance of the ship on the radar was less than one nautical mile away from the location of their ambush.The Japanese Self-Defense Forces’ patrol boat had been completely silent for a long time. They had already turned off all of their engines, transponders, and lights on the boat
In truth, that old fox, Cadfan, really had certain skills and abilities.He did not have to spend much money to pretend to save Rosalie this time. After all, the entire Japanese Self-Defense Forces were all actors who had agreed to play along with him for free.As for the reason why the Japanese Self-Defense Forces were willing to cooperate with Cadfan for free, this would have to be traced back to the time when Rosalie and the other masters from the Schulz family were arrested.At that time, Rosalie and the others had exterminated the entire Matsumoto family, putting the entire Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to shame. After that, they had planned to make their collective escape from Osaka. At the critical moment when their plane was about to take off, the Japanese Self-Defense Forces had come forward, capturing all of them.Therefore, this incident had made the Japanese Self-Defense Forces rise to fame immediately.When people praised the Japanese Self-Defense Forces for th
He simply had to use his left and right hands to achieve success one way or the other. Furthermore, he had managed to greatly reduce the cost of getting the entire matter done. For the Schulz family, this was simply the best of both worlds.However, no one would have thought that there would be sudden changes to a meticulously and carefully thought-out plan.Even Lord Schulz was filled with excitement back in Eastcliff. He was looking forward to receiving news that Rosalie had already been successfully captured by the Japanese Self-Defense Forces.Just as he was anxiously waiting for the news, one of the high-level officers of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces called him directly.As soon as the phone call was connected, Lord Schulz started laughing gleefully as he asked, “Matsushima-kun, have you arrested Rosalie successfully?”“Arrest my ass!” The other party yelled angrily over the phone, “Why isn’t there anyone on the ship that you have arranged? Where is Rosalie now?!”Lord
The Schulz family, as well as the entire Japanese Self-Defense Forces, began searching for Rosalie’s whereabouts in Japan’s territorial waters near Tokyo.However, their search was completely pointless because the ocean was so vast, and they had no clues at all.As the Japanese Self-Defense Forces were looking for Rosalie frantically, the ship that Charlie was on had already left Japan.The ship was constantly adjusting its course as it headed in the direction of Oskia. After sailing for a night, they had already traveled about one-third of the distance.Early in the morning, the red sunrise appeared on the eastern sea level.Although the temperature at sea was extremely cold during winter, Charlie walked out to the deck dressed in casual clothing.The direction of the ship was heading from the east to west. So, Charlie stood at the stern of the ship as he watched the sunrise in the east.At this time, the red sun slowly rose, and another red and turbulent sun was reflected on t
Jasmine smiled before she stroked the hair behind her ears as she said, “I was actually feeling very tired, and I really wanted to sleep well. However, I couldn’t stand the bumpy and rough waves anymore. So, I came up to get some fresh air.”Charlie asked with concern, “You are suffering from seasickness?”Jasmine nodded slightly before she said, “Fortunately, it is not too serious.”With that, Jasmine walked toward Charlie’s side as she leaned against the railing and looked at the rising sun. After that, she said emotionally, “The sunrise at sea is simply too beautiful. This is the first time I have ever seen the sunrise at sea in my whole life.”When Charlie saw the hint of worry and nervousness between her brows, Charlie could not help but call out, “Jasmine…”Jasmine hurriedly looked at Charlie and asked, “Master Wade, is there something you want to say?”Charlie asked her, “Are you feeling troubled now?”Jasmine hesitated for a moment before she nodded gently and said serio
After a day and night of sailing, Charlie’s ship finally docked smoothly at the pier at Raventon.The ship docked at nine o’clock in the morning according to Eastcliff time. There was another hour and a half to go before Tyler and Reuben would convene the board meeting.That happened to be the flight time of the helicopter. So, Charlie would not be able to make it back in time for the Moore Group’s board meeting.However, although he would not be able to make it, he would be able to make an appearance at the press conference that followed.Jasmine, Rosalie, and a few crew members working for the Schulz family followed Charlie off the ship.In addition, the vice-chairman of Nippon Steel, Hashimoto Kazumi, who had been bound up, was also with them.As the helicopter whizzed directly toward Aurous Hill, Tyler stepped into the largest conference room in Moore Group.At this moment, more than a dozen shareholders and directors of Moore Group including Tyler’s son, Reuben, had already
If they continued waiting endlessly, they would not only be exhausting their patience, but the investors and stockholders’ patience would also quickly be exhausted.In that case, Moore Group would certainly suffer heavy losses.After thinking about it, all of them gradually consented to Tyler’s proposal as they believed that the best solution at this time would be for them to elect a formal chairman as soon as possible to stabilize the situation.So, someone spoke up, “I support the decision of the acting chairman.”“Me too!”When Reuben saw this, he was overjoyed, and he hurriedly said, “Why don’t we express our views on the spot, then? There are seventeen people present here today. As long as there are more than eight people who agree to elect a new chairman, we will formally pass on the appointment of the acting chairman and propose to start the new voting process.”Having said that, Reuben stood up and said, “I am the first to agree to the proposal to elect a new chairman.”
"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 worry—if 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
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
