The Oskian boy shook his head at the side as he said, “Autumn, I know that as a girl, you will certainly be afraid of death. Nevertheless, you have to believe that in this world, no one would dare to randomly kill an American citizen. Therefore, we will certainly be rescued in the end!”Charlie could not help but feel amused as he burst out in laughter because of him. After that, he could not stop himself from asking him, “Brother, I’ll say something fair and objective. Various shootings are emerging endlessly, one after the other in the United States all the time. This leads to several or even dozens of innocent civilians deaths at every turn. You still dare to say that no one would dare to simply kill an American citizen? Don’t you think that is very contradictory?”The boy of Oskian descent turned red in the face out of extreme anger as he retorted, “The incidents that you are talking about happened within the country, not overseas! So, how could you take the incidents that happen
“Concorde airliner?!”Everyone was stunned and dumbfounded when Charlie said those two words.Who would dare to believe that the legendary king of speed in civil aviation, the Concorde airliner, which had already exited the scene more than twenty years ago, would actually still be in operation now?!The kid of Oskian descent subconsciously laughed mockingly as he said, “You really know how to brag and exaggerate. The Concorde airliner has already retired from the scene a long time ago. There are no civil airlines in this world that own any supersonic airliners that are currently in operation. Do you treat us all as fools?!”Charlie simply shook his head and laughed in a self-deprecating manner as he said, “Sigh. I honestly do not understand myself. Why am I talking so much nonsense with you here?”After he was done speaking, Charlie looked at Autumn before he said, “The situation is very urgent now. The opposition force has already announced to the public that they will start kill
As soon as Charlie heard these words, he was immediately very alert and vigilant.At the same time, he could not help but feel contempt and disdain for the seven highly educated fools in front of him. Weren’t they waiting for the United States Navy SEALs to come and rescue them? As a result, the United States Navy SEALs had not come, but the King of Hades had come first!He could hear Commander Hamed exchanging a few words with Faizal and the others. He was probably asking them about the situation with the hostages inside.One of the guards hurriedly replied that everything was normal. After that, the leader said, “Open the door.”Immediately afterward, there was the sound of the door getting unlocked.After a short while, the iron door was pushed open from the outside. A man wearing a desert camouflage uniform took a step forward as he walked into the room.What was interesting was that his figure was swaying toward the left the moment he stepped into the room. Charlie instantly
“F*ck!”Hamed immediately felt very disappointed deep down in his heart when he heard this. After all, he had been leading the army for many years, and he could make a very accurate judgment of the strategic situation.At this moment, he had already realized that both Charlie and himself had control of half of the advantageous position to call the shots.‘The power to call the shots inside this cellar lies in the hands of this Oskian man. That is because he has a gun pointed at me, and he has even bought off my subordinates. So, he can kill me at any time inside this room…’‘Still, I am not exactly in a completely passive predicament either. After all, no matter how powerful he is, it will simply be impossible for him to buy over one to two thousand of my men in the entire base.’‘That is because, if he really had the capability to do so, he would have already chosen to overthrow my rule directly. Why would he make so much effort just to sneak into this cellar?’When he thought a
After pondering and putting much thought into this matter, Hamed ground his teeth as he tried to put up a final fight and said, “Brother! It must not have been easy for you to come all the way here. Besides, it seems as though both of us are predestined. I cannot turn down your request entirely, but you also have to give me a little face. You cannot simply allow all of my efforts to go to waste, right? Don’t you have an old saying in Oskia? Don’t burn bridges and always leave some room in whatever you do in case you meet again in the future?”Charlie smiled as he said, “I have to admit that your Oskian literature is indeed not too bad. You can even mention an old saying in front of me!”Hamed smiled embarrassedly as he said, “If I were to describe it in one word, no matter what it is, I was also a top student back then.”Charlie nodded before he asked him, “You said that you wanted me to give you some face. I wonder, how do you propose I do that?”Hamed waved his hand as he spoke u
When Charlie saw the aggrieved look on Hamed’s face, he could not help but say, “Since Commander Hamed has already spoken up, I will surely remember it in the future.”Hamed cupped one fist in his other hand as a sign of respect in front of Charlie before he pointed at the eight people opposite him and said generously, “Brother, please go ahead and pick!”After he was done speaking, he was afraid that Charlie would continue trying to make the best out of his situation. So, he ground his teeth and blurted out, “Brother, why don’t we do this? I will take another step back. You can pick five of them!”The desire of the seven people to survive instantly increased!Charlie looked at Hamed before he smiled and praised him, “Commander Hamed, you are remarkably generous. Based on this point alone, I can already tell that you are a person of integrity who will keep his promises.”Hamed nodded before he said seriously, “I am someone who has always kept my promises. Regardless of whether it
Charlie did not hide the truth, and he simply nodded and said, “That’s right. I am a member of the Wade family.”As soon as his words fell, the other seven people were all shocked. They were all top outstanding talents in the financial field. So, they had a deep understanding of the economic conditions of various countries, and they naturally knew about the strength of these few wealthy and influential families in Oskia.When they heard that Charlie was a descendant of the Wade family, they immediately understood why Charlie could travel to Syria on a Concorde within such a short time.This was the power of the Wade family!It was a pity that these so-called top outstanding talents could not see the wider picture, and they had failed to recognize the great man in front of them! Hamed, who was aside, immediately gave him a thumbs-up as he blurted out, “I did not expect that you would be from the Wade family. As a member of the Wade family, you were actually able to sneak into th
Autumn was completely at a loss when she heard these words.She could tell that Charlie was not joking.She really did not know what she should do if Charlie was truly unwilling to take her companions away with them.She never would have expected her group of friends to actually be so anti-intellectual. They had already offended Charlie to death before he even revealed his own identity. Now, regardless of how much they begged or pleaded with Charlie, it would still be reasonable for Charlie to refuse to save them.Although Autumn really wanted to leave this place and head to Aurous Hill so that she could be reunited with her father, she could not bear to leave so many of her friends behind and escape on her own.There was even a certain moment where Autumn thought about not leaving at all. She thought that it might be better for her to simply stay back here with her friends so that they could live or die together. In that case, even if they were to ultimately face the worst conseq
At one point, Sonia thought about summoning the courage to go to Charlie and beg him for mercy. But upon the thought of her previous arrogance and outrageous remarks, she resisted the urge. Thus, she became even more depressed and sat cross-legged, staring at the floor. Charlie only needed a glance to notice Sonia's dejection. After all, in a crowd of people cheering excitedly, she sat there silently, looking completely out of place. Charlie knew very well that Sonia's frustration was undoubtedly because he had sealed her meridians. On her own, she no longer had the possibility of further advancement. Recalling her earlier disrespectful remarks, he chalked it up to the personality of a young martial arts fanatic. It wasn't that Charlie was petty or unwilling to let go of past grievances, but the key issue was that he had already opened all of her meridians in one go. If he were to seal them back up, she would instantly become a master at the Great Perfection Realm of Illu
Albert then selected a few students to help him distribute a bottle of oral fluid to everyone. Even Caden, who had already reached the Great Perfection Realm of the Illuminating Realm, got his share. After the distribution, Charlie said, "What you're holding in your hands is a special supplement for strengthening the body and the meridians. After you take it, it will help your cultivation. If you happen to be at the critical stage of a realm breakthrough, you might be able to complete the breakthrough with this bottle of supplement." Everyone was especially excited when they heard that it was a medicine that could improve cultivation. For martial artists, the most valuable things were complete internal capabilities and supplements that could improve strength. Many martial artists spent their entire lives in arduous cultivation without ever receiving the assistance of any medicinal elixir. At times, they could feel that they were just one step away from breaking through to the nex
The people in the audience answered in unison, "Yes!" Some even said loudly, "Not only that, but it is extremely beneficial!" "Yes! The improvement is indeed very significant!" "My personal understanding of martial arts has also become much clearer!" Among the crowd, Sonia gathered the courage to say loudly, "Since coming here, cultivation has truly been twice as effective!" Charlie recognized her voice and curiously asked, "Miss Letterman, you trained under Master Howton too when you were in the United States, and it is the same here. Why does this place make you feel that way?" "I... Uh..." Sonia was taken aback as she did not expect Charlie to direct a question to her, so she stuttered nervously. "I speak only the truth and am not exaggerating. The reason I feel it is twice as effective lies mainly in three factors." With that, she paused briefly, gathered her thoughts, and continued, "The first reason is that when the Taoist Sect was in America, Master Howton was not
The next morning, Charlie met up with Nanako and drove to Champs Elys together. He wanted to send Nanako to the villa halfway up the mountain so that she could concentrate on improving her control of Reiki while he himself would take the oral fluid and distribute it to all the martial arts students. At the same time, Julien had already crossed the Pacific Ocean in a private plane, getting closer and closer to Aurous Hill with only a few hours left. While Charlie was on his way, Caden said to over 400 martial arts students who were doing morning training, "Guys, I have good news for you. Master Wade will come to see you later with gifts. He will give them to you personally." The students were excited upon hearing this. Aurora, Rosalie, the Harker family members, and the members of Ten Thousand Armies all knew that Charlie had a special medicine that could enhance the cultivation of martial arts. Although Sonia wasn't familiar with this, ever since she had arrived in Oskia, she c
Charlie dropped the formalities and said, "Thank you very much then, Miss Fox." "You're welcome, Mr. Wade," Kathleen said. "It's my honor to serve you." After reaching an agreement with Kathleen, Charlie then called Doris. Doris hadn't received a call from Charlie in a long time, so her voice was filled with excitement as she said, "Mr. Wade, what can I do for you?" Charlie replied, "Are you familiar with the situation at Sonfo Valley? I want to acquire the entire area, but I can't do it too conspicuously, so I can't offer a price that's too outrageous to avoid drawing attention. Do you think that will be difficult?" "Sonfo Valley..." Doris thought for a moment before speaking, "Sonfo Valley is an older residential area. After I took over Emgrand, I reviewed the company's previous documents. That land was actually something Emgrand considered competing for initially, but later, they gave up because the surrounding area lacked supporting infrastructure. It's located in the mou
Jacob rolled his eyes in annoyance and jeered, "Do you think money from rich families grows on trees? Working for wealthy people is just about the market price. Are you saying the janitor sweeping the floors at Apple makes a million dollars a year?" "You really have some nerve, Jacob Wilson!" Elaine scoffed and scolded. "How can you compare our sweet daughter to a janitor? So, in your eyes, Claire is on the same level as a janitor at Apple?" "That's not what I meant!" Jacob snapped and quickly explained, "What I'm saying is, even if you're working for Apple, you just earn what you're supposed to earn. Claire has done well in her field, and earning a few million a year is already pretty good. It's only been a short time since she went to the U.S. yet you're already expecting Miss Fox to pay her tens of millions? That's ridiculous!" Elaine rolled her eyes and disdainfully snarled, "Clearly, you don't understand the ways of the world. Miss Fox had Charlie help with Feng Shui multipl
Noticing Elaine's disappointment, Charlie quickly spoke up, "Honey, when are you coming back? Have you set a time?" Claire replied, "I plan to first finalize the project's documents and progress here as well as resolve any outstanding issues. If there's nothing else, I'll go back. If I can't finish today, it will probably be the day after tomorrow at the latest." "Have you checked the flights?" Charlie asked. "Are there any suitable flights for the day after tomorrow?" Claire replied, "Miss Fox suggested arranging her family's private jet to send me back, but I feel bad about it. A flight on a private jet costs over a million, and I can't let them spend that money." Elaine quickly interrupted, "Then just take a regular flight back and let her give you the money for the private jet. Convert it into a million!" Charlie hurriedly said, "They have plenty of planes. Even when they're not in use, they have to be maintained. The actual cost of flying one more trip isn't that high. B
Jacob and Elaine happened to be in the living room, so Charlie waved his phone at them and said, "Mom, Dad, it's Claire. I'll answer it here." The two stopped bickering instantly, and Charlie pressed the answer button. After the call was connected, Claire's beautiful face appeared on the phone screen. Seeing the background, Claire said in surprise, "Honey! You're home!" Charlie nodded. "I just got back today. Let me show you Mom and Dad." As he said that, he turned his phone around and pointed the front camera at Jacob and Elaine. Jacob asked worriedly, "Darling, when will you come back? I miss you!" Elaine interjected hastily, "Don't listen to your dad's nonsense. I miss you too, but it's a great opportunity that you're finally working with the Fox family in America. You must focus on your career. If you want, I can go over to take care of you!" "Mom, this is why I'm calling Charlie," Claire said with a smile. "I just finished the morning meeting with Miss Fox and the
Charlie responded with a smile, "Don't bother. I've already eaten." Jacob quickly stood up, walked over, and asked, "Why were you away for so many days this time?" Charlie answered, "The workload was a bit heavy this time. I visited several houses and factories, mainly because the client has strong financial power." "Wow!" Elaine exclaimed, very pleased, "A client with such strength must have paid quite a bit, right?" "Exactly." Charlie nodded and casually said, "This client was very generous with the payment. They even gave me an extra one million as travel expenses before I left." "My goodness!" Elaine shrieked. "One million just for travel expenses? What kind of godsent client is this?!" Jacob couldn't help but sigh, "Now, this is what it means to be rich. Giving an extra one million, that's just like a tip, right? They're really throwing money around like it's nothing!" At this point, Elaine seemed to remember something and quickly said, "I saw in the news that the yo
