The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 279
The news about Charlie’s refining magical elixir spread like wildfire among several upper class families in Aurous Hill.Zeke White of the White family, Finn Baxendale of Treasure Pavilion, and Don Albert Rhodes of Heaven Springs heard the news. They were eager to ask Charlie for the medicine, but Zeke was the only one who really voiced out his request.Zeke was confident to do so since he had expressed his sincerity to Charlie and had even given him a Thompson First villa worth a hundred million dollars.He went to Charlie’s house in the afternoon since he was at home and asked for the magical elixir as Aurora did. Of course, Charlie didn’t turn down his request since he was quite comfortable to give him commands. His son and nephew were a bit stupid and badly behaved, but he had taught them lessons and now that Zeke was treating him with full respect and docility, there was no need to be stingy over one pill.Zeke bowed and thanked him profusely after getting an affirmative ans

Charlie couldn’t help stealing a few glances at Jasmine, who was truly dashing tonight.If he compared her with Claire, their outlook and body were almost equal, but in terms of temperament, Claire was a few grades beneath Jasmine.After all, Jasmine was the daughter of the prominent Moore family. Her temperament was definitely more classy than an ordinary woman.Meanwhile, Aurora walked towards Charlie and bowed as she blushed again.Unlike the mature and sentimental Jasmine, the unique fusion of Aurora’s heroic appearance with the aura of a timid young lady was a special blend.Aurora wore light makeup, the natural heroine vibe from her body emphasizing her characteristics like the snow lotus on the iceberg, which was very chilly and alluring.However, after she acknowledged her feelings towards Charlie, she blossomed like a flower under the spring sunshine that added a little tenderness and gentle in her aura. She looked at Charlie with a layer of pinkish blush painting her

Don Albert didn’t dare to speak loudly as the significant figures of the city gathered together. Even though they were in his restaurant, he walked behind everyone and wagged his tail at Charlie like a pug, hoping that he would bat an eye at him.Looking at the extravagant spread and the decoration, Charlie smiled at Don Albert and said, “Good job, Albert. Thank you for the arrangement.”Albert smiled like a child receiving candy and said, “It’s my pleasure to serve you. Please have a seat.”Charlie nodded and sat in the main seat of the table.Albert bowed graciously at Charlie and said, “Please just call for me if you need any assistance, I’ll be waiting by the door!”Then, he gingerly exited the suite and stood by the door like a waiter.Albert Rhodes was the king of the underworld in Aurous Hill, but right now, he was nothing but a good-for-nothing thug. He was not yet qualified to sit at the table with Charlie and his distinguished guests—it was already lucky enough for him

This was because of Charlie’s superb medical skills which were even better than his own ancestral medical skills. Therefore, he felt that it would be great if Xyla was fortunate enough to serve Charlie in the future, as she would have the opportunity to learn more about medicine from him.This was also one of the reasons why he had wanted to bring Xyla along for this dinner.Of course, the second reason was that he wanted to seek treatment from Charlie.He had already been tortured by his internal injuries for more than half his life, but he finally had the opportunity to get healed now!As he thought about this, Anthony gave Xyla a long look, hinting to her that she should look for an opportunity to get closer to Charlie.Xyla understood her grandfather’s intentions immediately and her cheeks turned crimson red as she felt extremely embarrassed.Lowering her head, she could feel a strong wave in her heart. From time to time, she raised her head slightly to look at Charlie as she

The pill that Charlie was holding in his hand was simply the medicine that he had concocted according to the prescription in the Apocalyptic Book. However, it was making everyone extremely excited.The crowd of people waited patiently as they stared at the crystal clear pills in the box, and they could feel their accelerated breathing.Amongst these people, Anthony was the oldest, and he was the most excited. This was because he knew that Charlie had a very unusual talent that even he could not comprehend at all.He had been suffering from a serious internal injury that had not been fully healed, and this internal injury had caused him to suffer from illnesses and bad health for more than half of his life.The last time he had tried some of the pills made by Charlie, his symptoms had improved a lot even though he had not been fully cured.When he heard that the effect of this new medicine would be ten times more effective than the pill that he had tried previously, Anthony could n

Charlie stopped him immediately and said, “Mr. Simmons, this medicine is too strong for you. You should only take half of the capsule to cure your old injury and illness. You should keep the remaining half of the capsule because it can prove to be of great use to you in the future.”Anthony was shocked because he really could not believe that he could be cured with just half of this pill. This was utterly amazing!As he thought about it, Anthony took out the dagger that he kept in his pocket and cut the pill in half. After that, he put one half of the pill into his mouth immediately.Everyone stared at him intently as they waited for a miracle to happen.A few seconds after Anthony had eaten the pill, color returned to his face immediately, and his complexion turned pinkish in an instance. He also began sweating profusely.Anthony could feel a warm and magical current running through his body now.He felt that his body was akin to the dried up mottled and cracked earth, and thi

To be honest, giving another pill to Jasmine meant nothing to Charlie at all.However, this was of great significance to Jasmine.At this time, Jasmine felt extremely touched and moved by Charlie’s action, and she felt that he was protecting and looking out for her.As Jasmine continued to stare at Charlie, he walked up to Zeke before holding out a pill. “Mr. White, this pill is for you.”Zeke shuddered all over and he quickly knelt like everyone else as he waited respectfully.Charlie placed the pill in his hand, and Zeke blurted out, “Thank you, Mr. Wade! Thank you for the medicine. I will unquestionably obey all of your orders in the future!”As he stared at Zeke who was kneeling on the ground, he said lightly, “Mr. White, your son and nephew have caused me a lot of grievances and anger in the past. If it were not for you, they would not be in this world anymore.”Zeke chuckled as he hurriedly replied, “Thank you, Mr. Wade. Thank you for your mercy and kindness.”Charlie sim

Charlie waved his hand as he said, “Okay, don’t worry. Just make sure to help me whenever I ask for your help in the future. I will not forget your contribution.”Albert quickly replied, “I will never let you down!”When everyone saw Charlie giving the magical pill to Don Albert, they were all shocked beyond words.Even though Don Albert had a reputation as one of the top mobster bosses in Aurous Hill, he was nothing to them. Hence, they could barely believe that Charlie would not hesitate to give someone as insignificant as Albert the pill simply because they knew each other.This…Charlie really treated his own people very fairly.Albert continued kneeling in front of Charlie as he wept.“Mr. Wade, I really did not expect someone like you to even think of someone as insignificant as me at all. I am truly very grateful for your kindness…”Charlie smiled before he replied, “Albert, to me, everyone in this world is equal. I do not judge a person by their status or identity, but

With those words, Jacob didn't wait any further as he turned and left Antique Street, intent on seeking legal counsel.Raymond watched him leave before returning to Treasure Measure.He wasn't going to leave, but he had said so because he didn't want to waste much time with Jacob.Still, to avoid any trouble, he turned the sign outside to 'closed' before locking the door from the inside.That was when a man suddenly arrived, asking through the glass door, "Can I still take a look inside, sir?"Raymond was ready to refuse without even turning around when he realized that it was Charlie.He turned around and saw him standing outside just as expected.Smiling, he hurried over to open the door for him. "It's been a while, Mr. Wade!"Charlie was aware that Raymond was sticking to his identity of 'Raymond Cole' who had not been in touch since Raymond had been fired from Vintage Deluxe.Charlie chuckled in turn. "It has indeed. And you're a business owner yourself now, too.""It's j

Jacob zipped toward Raymond, his attitude immediately subservient, "I'm sure you've seen what Zachary Evans posted on his Twitter page, and to be honest, it's so terrible that my position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association has been affected too. I mean, you've made a lot of money, right?"Hell, even if you donated ten million, you'd still have another ten million and 970 thousand in net profits. So, all I'd like to ask is for you to post something to disclaim Zachary's post.Jacob's words left Raymond in thought.For Jacob, just being suspected of fraud would definitely be terrible. In fact, his position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association would definitely be threatened—if not dismissed altogether—if he wasn't cleared of suspicion.Since Jacob was Charlie Wade's father-in-law, Raymond had reason not to drive Jacob over the brink.But that also begged another question—it must be under Charlie's intention for Zachary to post his confession, and that meant Charlie in

Raymond couldn't help chuckling just as Jacob finished—he had honestly never heard of anyone who demanded a refund after donating to charity, but he was certainly seeing one now.Still, the receptionist was clearly experienced and slowly explained, "Sir, it's a legal clause of the country that all donations for philanthropy purposes can not be refunded under most circumstances—""It truly was a mistake," Jacob quickly said, cutting the receptionist off. "I was going to donate thirty thousand but pressed an extra zero by mistake. Please discuss this with your management—you just have to refund 27 thousand, see?""Sorry, sir," the receptionist apologized. "But it's a strict rule that we ourselves do not get to access the funds that have been donated into our accounts. Every donation will be screened extensively, and if you consider that there was a major oversight on your part, you may seek legal counsel to appeal for a refund. If the courts back your appeal, our organization will the

Nonetheless, Jacob darted into Treasure Measure and plucked off his mask, asking nervously, "Excuse me, Mr. Cole? It's me… Jacob Wilson…"Raymond looked up, pausing for a moment before acting as if he was actually curious, "Mr. Wilson! What brings you here? Don't tell me—you want that bronze sculpture back too?""No, no, no…" Jacob quickly shook his head. "I would never… I returned all the way from Dubai to apologize!""Apologize?" Raymond smiled faintly, and he did not play dumb this time as he asked bluntly, "Did you come back because of Zachary Evan's post?"Knowing he couldn't deny it any longer, Jacob nodded, "Yeah…"Raymond nodded and said calmly, "That's unnecessary. I was the one who benefited in the end."Jacob wasn't quite keeping up—thinking that Raymond was just trying to be nice by telling him he didn't have to apologize, he quickly pulled out his phone.Tapping on it and bringing up his transaction records, he handed it to Raymond reverently, "Mr. Cole, I understan

The cabbie chuckled. "You're a local yet you're heading to Antique Street right away as soon as you land instead of going home? And you're still saying you're not trying to pick up a killer bargain deal?"Come on, man—it's not just you, I want that too. We cabbies work ourselves to death only for ten thousand per month at best while our friend over there made twenty million in one night. I could keep driving cabs for the rest of my life and still not make that much money."Jacob knew that the cabbie must be talking about Raymond and became even more miserable then, grumbling unhappily, "I'm going to Antique Street for business—I'm not trying to pick up some missed bargain.""No? Then you didn't hear what happened yesterday?"The cabbie was immediately curious, and without waiting for Jacob's answer, he exclaimed happily, "Look, man—it was so ridiculous not even Hollywood would put it in their script. There were these fools who were trying to sell an antique trader a replica, but th

It was nighttime in Dubai as Jacob dragged his weary body from the hotel back to the airport.As he was flying economy this time, he was left sitting at the hard bench near the boarding terminal, waiting for it to open.While he waited, his heart was torn as he tapped into the website of the Aurous Hill Charity Fund, found their donation account, and wired the entire 300 thousand he had made over to them.He had picked the Aurous Hill Charity Fund because the circles of antique collectors in Aurous Hill were all discussing how Raymond had donated half of the 20 million he had made to that same charity fund.After Raymond skyrocketed to prominence in Antique Street and became a star, it could not be denied that people admired his profound ability.However, there were also people who envied his skill in turning the tables just as there were those who were jealous he had made twenty million in a single night.Still, Raymond moved fast—soon after word spread that he had made twenty m

Elaine quickly asked, "Well, what if you can't get it done?"Jacob was apprehensive even as he sighed. "If they really pressed the issue, guess I can't even stay at the Calligraphy and Painting Association now… We will see. If things get bad, I'll just resign. I won't ask for much right now, just as long as I don't have to go to jail."Elaine nodded. "Then you should try to reason things out with Raymond Cole or ask for Charlie's help if push comes to shove. Being humiliated is still better than prison.""Okay!"-It was nighttime at Aurous Hill by the time Elaine and Jacob arrived at their hotel.Charlie and Claire had just had dinner, and Claire pulled out her phone, saying, "I just checked my flight app, and it says my parents should have landed two hours ago. They are probably at the hotel, so I'll check in on them with a video call."She had yet to open her WhatsApp when Elaine called her on a video call.Jacob was planning to check in with Claire and Charlie to put their

Hearing what Jacob had said, Elaine became anxious and pressed him as he hung up, "What's going on? You're leaving? But we just got here! My shoes have just caught Dubai dirt, so why are we leaving so soon—"However, Jacob was wiping the sweat off his brow as he mumbled quietly, "Well, at this point, I have to leave or I won't be vice president anymore."Elaine immediately fumed. "We've been married for half our lives, and this is supposed to be our honeymoon, yet we're just leaving? I've posted about this on social media too—there are plenty of people who're waiting for more posts on our trip!"And don't forget—we spent a lot on our flight tickets and our hotels! The hotel bookings can't be refunded either!"Jacob scowled dolefully. "Well, what can we do? Why don't you stay? I'll go home and get this sorted out first….""Well, how long would that take?" Elaine asked."How should I know?" Jacob sighed, uneasy and annoyed. "Don Albert is saying I have to go back and donate the 300

"But I spent 98 thousand on that bronze sculpture!" Jacob exclaimed in agitation before he knew it. "I made 300 thousand from it, and that means my profit was 200 thousand at best, but I'm supposed to return that to him as well?! That means I'd have lost my own capital too!""I can't help you if you can't bear to part with that money, Mr. Wilson," Don Albert said quietly. "In that case, you'll just have to handle it yourself.""Wait, wait, wait!" Jacob immediately became antsy and cried out right then, "Please, Don Albert! I'll return the money! I'll return it, alright?! The entirety of my profits—202 thousand, okay? At least let me keep the money I spent, okay?""By that reasoning, Mr. Wilson, when a phone scammer is told by the cops to return the money they've made from defrauding, should he be allowed to keep the money he spent on telco charges? ""Oh, I…" Jacob was left stumped and could not come up with an answer.Don Albert then pressed on, "Mr. Wilson, I've offered a prom
