If they would have known that Charlie had the ability to take them out, why would they have bothered to be so pretentious in front of him? If they had simply been respectful toward him just now, they might have had the opportunity to leave Syria, which was a place where they were bound to get into trouble.When Hamed saw that these people were on the verge of collapse, he was too lazy to watch them make a laughingstock out of themselves. So, he simply instructed the soldiers around him, “Make them wake up at half-past five in the morning, and they will start working at six in the morning after having their breakfast. After that, they can have a half an hour break at twelve in the afternoon and another half an hour break at six in the evening. Then, they will continue working until eleven o’clock at night. Do you understand me?” Several of his subordinates immediately nodded. “Understood, Commander!”When the seven people heard this, they felt as though they wanted to bang their hea
When the sky in Aurous Hill had just turned white, the Concorde that Charlie and Autumn were in finally landed at the Aurous Airport.After the plane had landed, Charlie, Autumn, and Isaac took the helicopter that Isaac had arranged for them and flew directly to Shangri-La.Not long after they started flying, Charlie asked for Autumn’s opinion, and he asked her if she would like to meet up with Yolden immediately. If she wanted to do so, he could call Yolden directly using the satellite phone on the plane so that he could inform Yolden of the news that Autumn had already been successfully rescued. After that, Charlie could ask Yolden to meet up with Autumn at the airport as soon as possible.However, after careful consideration, Autumn felt that the essence of her spirit and energy were very decadent. So, she wanted to rest and reorganize herself a little first. At the very least, she wanted to take a bath and change into a clean set of clothes before meeting her father.Therefore,
This also gave him a sense of crisis in his heart.It was very easy for him to finish using up his Reiki, but it was very difficult for him to accumulate and replenish his Reiki.If there was no lasting and effective way for him to replenish his Reiki, then he was afraid that it would be even more difficult and troublesome for him in the future.As he thought about this, Charlie could not help but recall some contents that he had come across in the .There was a higher-level pill that was recorded within the which was named the Cultivating Pill.Although the Cultivating Pill did not sound as arrogant or great as the Rejuvenating Pill, it was a kind of pill that was of a naturally higher level as compared to the Rejuvenating Pill.The Rejuvenating Pill could make ordinary people live longer and resurrect the dead, but it did not contain any Reiki within it. After all, Reiki was the most refined and pure energy contained in the universe, and it
Sheldon, who was extremely excited, would never have imagined that Charlie would be in the room next to him at this time.The luxury suites in Shangri-La were all very uniform in design. The overall layout was a square shape, and the two rooms on the left were the living room and the study room, while the two rooms on the right were the bathroom and the bedroom.In other words, the bedroom where Charlie was currently happened to be right next to Sheldon’s study room.Under normal circumstances, the rooms in a five-star hotel would usually be soundproof to ensure quietness, privacy, and comfort for the guests. Therefore, even if it was only separated by a wall, any ordinary person would not be able to hear the conversation next door.However, for someone like Charlie, who had extremely sensitive senses, this kind of wall was rather useless.So, even if he had no intention to eavesdrop on the conversation of the people in the room next door, he could hear every single movement in Sh
Charlie continued saying, “Look into the background of this company next! I want you to find out the entire equity structure behind it!”“Okay!”Isaac continued looking into it following Charlie’s instructions. As he was looking into it, he said, “Young Master, I can see that this company is wholly owned by another technological company in Yorkte. Also, there is another investment fund and partnership enterprise that is supporting and backing this company up! The investment fund is SF Capital!”Charlie asked him curiously, “SF Capital? Which family owns it?”Isaac hurriedly said, “SF Capital is one of the many capital-operated companies owned by the Schulz family. The name SF is an abbreviation of the Schulz Family!”“The Schulz family?” Charlie frowned as he said, “I heard someone next door referring to someone else as ‘master’. So, perhaps the person staying in the room next to me is Cadfan Schulz?!”“This…” Isaac said in disbelief, “Young Master, I don’t think Cadfan Schulz wo
Just as Sheldon was expecting to rely on his own power to turn the Schulz family’s turmoil around on his own, he did not know that a big net had been wrapped tightly around him at this time.Charlie already had two different plans in mind.If the person next door was Sheldon, he had a special plan in mind for Sheldon. However, if the person next door was not Sheldon but someone else from the Schulz family instead, he would send this person directly to Albert’s dog farm so that he could be Steven’s companion there.Isaac screened out the other rooms in Shangri-La that had been booked before and after the time the room next door was booked but had not been checked out yet at this moment. After that, he carried out a further screening, and he could basically conclude that there were at least four other subordinates who were staying in Shangri-La this time in addition to the person in the room next to Charlie. Out of these four people, two of them were living in the rooms directly opp
At the same time, the signal jammer had already been activated, and all of the surrounding cell phones had lost their service and connection because they could not detect any signal at all.Although Sheldon’s cell phone was still connected to the hotel’s wireless network, the wireless network itself had already been cut off. In other words, although he was still connected to the WIFI, he was no longer connected to the internet.However, Sheldon did not pay any attention to all these things.He tidied up his suit and tie in front of the mirror. After making sure he was dressed appropriately, he took out a fake mustache before sticking it under his nose.Then, he also took out a pair of golden-framed glasses from his pocket. After putting it on, he looked like an Oskian who had just returned from abroad.Immediately afterward, he wore a top hat of the same color as his suit on his head. He felt that it would certainly be even more foolproof this way.After he was done with all of h
When Sheldon heard this, he was extremely shocked, and he stood motionless in front of Charlie.He never would have expected that Curtis’s son would still be alive!He also would not have expected that Curtis’s son would suddenly appear in front of him!At this time, in addition to his nervousness, Sheldon was also feeling a little angry!‘Curtis Wade! Curtis Wade again! Ever since I got to know Helen, these words, ‘Curtis Wade’, have always been my nightmare. It was only until Helen’s whereabouts were completely unknown after she met with a car accident a few days ago that I was finally free from Curtis Wade’s shadow. But now, Curtis Wade’s son is actually here?! Where did this guy come from?!’When Sheldon saw that Charlie’s features and temperament were very similar to Curtis’s, Sheldon hardly had any doubts about his words at all.He simply stared at Charlie before he asked in a cold voice, “Even if you are Curtis Wade’s son, what do you mean by appearing in my room now?”“W
Charlie frowned in thought for a while, before saying, "Well, there is a plan, but I can't vouch for the chances. I also need you to cooperate with me and not let anything slip, or everything will go to waste. Can you do that?""I can!" Claire nodded, determined, before quickly asking, "So? What's the plan?""Well, it's not specific," Charlie replied. "We just have to improvise as we go along. Let's just head in for now!"-They left the airport and took a cab to the traffic police's headquarters. Just as she entered, they saw their Cullinan parked outside.Charlie sent Claire in first while he carried her luggage before following.Meanwhile, Elaine was wailing in her room, "I've been married to him for years! Suffering so much pain and humiliation, only for him to hook up with an old flame behind my back! Is it wrong if I struck out?"The traffic police officer was on the verge of a breakdown, but he still said patiently, "Ma'am, I've told you many times—what he did was wrong
Claire wasn't all that experienced in love and hence didn't know how a person caught in a love triangle would think or why they would experience such terrible mood swings.Still, Charlie's explanation gave her a general idea, and she sighed, "Actually, Dad looked really bad when Matilda came back. He was so obsessed with her that he didn't care if Mom was alive—even bringing her home for dinner. I'd be seething if I was Mom."Charlie sighed in exasperation. "Well, let's not loiter about. Let's go to the traffic police station.""Yeah!" Claire nodded, before holding his arm, "If they're there, that means they're safe, and they won't be fighting with those officers around. So, let's not head over so quickly."Charlie raised a brow. "What are you getting at?"Claire sighed, clearly troubled. "We have to think—how are we going to alleviate this crisis? If it's really as you say and Mom has mostly guessed it right, this fight might just be the start. At best, that fight on the highway
The traffic police officer smiled in exasperation. "Is there no getting through to you? You could even afford to drive a nice car, and you'd most likely survive an accident. But what if you were left bedridden for a long time? Yell at each other in the same hospital room?"Elaine waved him off. "I don't care—all I know is that I will always get my revenge, and on the spot if possible. If there were superheroes, I would be Wonder Woman!""Urgh…" The traffic police officer was utterly speechless. "How about this? We will call your daughter and have her come over to bail you. She will mediate your fight!"With those words, he returned Elaine's phone to her, and it happened to ring just then.It was a call from Claire.Seeing that the contact name said [Daughter], the traffic police officer quickly said, "Go on, answer it!"Elaine took it and answered the call, and Claire asked urgently before she could say a word, "Mom? Where are you? Where's Dad? Are you both alright?"Elaine sulk
While Charlie was waiting for Claire at the airport, Jacob and Elaine were taken to the traffic police station.But even in the patrol car, Elaine did not stop lashing out at Jacob.As such, the traffic police had no choice but to call up another patrol car to bring them over separately.Charlie was hence left wondering what those two were up to this time as they were nowhere to be seen when Claire's flight was about to land and weren't answering his texts.Fortunately, Charlie never considered them reliable, so he was fine whether they showed up or not.If they did, they could all head home in the same car.If they didn't, he just had to take a cab home with Claire.It was past three when Claire's private jet landed, and Claire herself cleared the checkpoint in just half an hour, wheeling a trolley with her luggage.Seeing Charlie from afar, she couldn't help quickening her pace as she beamed.Charlie hurried toward her as well, and Claire shoved her trolley aside when they w
However, to Jacob's shock, Elaine wasn't misled at all as she growled icily, "Why would I ask anyone else?! If there's someone I must question, it's Matilda! She's getting married, isn't she? Good! I will be there and ask her why she hooked up with my husband!"Jacob turned pale right then.Matilda's son and even some of their old classmates would be attending her wedding.If Elaine went, he would be exposed, and he wouldn't be able to stay in Aurous Hill out of shame!His nerves gnawing at him, Jacob could only plead, "Please, just trust me this once! Anything else aside, she's getting married, anyway—there's no way that I'd have anything to do with her! That alone should prove my innocence!"Elaine snorted. "If Matilda returned when I was arrested, it means she has been back for a while! And you're saying nothing happened since? Hell, even if she's married, it doesn't prove that she wasn't up to some hanky-panky with you! Maybe while I was arrested and refused a divorce when you
The driver was left dumbstruck—this wasn't how it was supposed to go.Still, he blurted, "C-Crashing into a Cullinan? I might end up dead instead…""Fine! Then let's change cars, and you crash into ours—how about that?!" Elaine promptly retorted before continuing, "Or we could just stand right in front of your car while you run into us! I just happen to have a death wish, but if you don't kill me now, I'll kill you! Don't think about getting away either—I know your car plate! I'll sell this car and use the money to put a bounty on your head! I don't care what happens to me now! I'll claw my nails into the devil's face even if he shows up!"The driver was actually quite experienced, but even he had yet to meet someone as ridiculous as Elaine.Barely able to keep his hands steady, he threw them up as he apologized, "I'm so sorry, ma'am—I just lost my cool. I'm merely a humble driver of a Honda Civic while you own a Rolls. Hell, I spent fifty bucks buying that red emblem from Amazon,
Elaine may have led a life as if she was above the rules, but beneath that tough exterior lay crippling insecurities and a horrific inferiority complex.She was always afraid of being belittled—but more than that, of being ostracized and betrayed.Over the years, the greatest source of her complexes could all be traced back to Matilda.After all, Matilda had been a star back in their school days. Because Elaine was a close friend of hers, many boys would get chummy with Elaine, but only because they were interested in Matilda.Being from a poor farmer's family, Elaine had been scorned plenty and therefore felt exceedingly inferior around Matilda.It was from that sense of inferiority that Elaine had inadvertently developed a one-sided rivalry against Matilda, and she believed her greatest triumph over Matilda in this life was the moment she had stolen Jacob from her.However, while Elaine presumed that she could hold that victory over Matilda's head, Lady Wilson had soured that v
Moreover, given Elaine's ridiculous temper, Jacob knew she would definitely go overboard and destroy him.He wouldn't even have a place to live at that point, and it would really be game over if she held a grudge and stormed the Calligraphy and Painting Association!Under such circumstances, he couldn't ask for a divorce—hell, he might even refuse a divorce if Elaine asked for one!However, that was when Elaine laughed coldly. "Oh, my… You're really not going to divorce me?""Come on—how long were we married?" Jacob quickly reasoned. "Getting divorced at our age? People would laugh at us."Elaine scoffed. "Now I'm curious… Matilda's quite old too, and she's a divorcee marrying again. Won't people laugh at her?""Technically, she's a widow—"Jacob blurted out, but soon turned pale, tensing up again not a second after he had just calmed down, asking gingerly, "W-Why would you suddenly mention her?'Elaine stopped pretending right then and snapped, "It's actually impressive that y
Horrified, Jacob promptly grasped the steering wheel and brought the Cullinan back under control while not hesitating to snap, "Are you crazy?! We're on the highway—that could have killed the both of us!"However, Elaine ignored him and seized the moment to open the armrest box, pulling out the large white envelope.As she opened it, she muttered, "So, it really was a wedding invitation… You really are a terrible friend, Jacob Wilson, hiding a wedding invitation like this! What's the point? Just look at that nervous face of yours—would I suspect you of having an affair with the bride-to-be?"She flipped open the card and was experienced enough to check the names first while disregarding the usual preamble. She wouldn't care about the venue or the time either, focusing solely on the professor who had somehow made Jacob very nervous.That was how Elaine found the names in less than a second: Yolden Hart and Matilda Hall.Matilda?!The name could well be knives stabbing Elaine in th
