Who would have thought that Charlie would destroy all of Hunter’s meridians at the same time when he was breaking his arms?Charlie was actually able to easily destroy Hunter’s meridians and destroy his entire cultivation base without making a sound. This was simply the crushing difference between a human and an ant.At this moment, everyone from Ten Thousand Armies was in despair. On the other hand, the people around Charlie could not wait to cheer out of joy.As for Cadfan, who was draped in mourning clothes, he felt as if his body was collapsing at this point, and his hands and feet were trembling involuntarily. He truly did not expect that there would be such a powerful existence in the Wade family. He had relied on Ten Thousand Armies, and he had thought that Ten Thousand Armies would absolutely be able to crush Charlie completely. Unexpectedly, Ten Thousand Armies was no match for Charlie at all!He suddenly thought of how both of his granddaughters as well as his eldes
Hunter’s heart was filled with shame and anger after getting the paper roll stuffed into his mouth. However, he could only obey and smoke the paper roll desperately. Still, the smoke produced by the burning of this joss paper could never be compared to the flavorful Cuban cigar. After taking the first puff, Hunter choked because of the smoke, and he was coughing as his tears and snot gushed out at the same time.Charlie glared at him and sneered, “Why have you lost the style and arrogance that you had when you were talking nonsense while smoking your cigar and blowing clouds at me yesterday?” Hunter thought of his arrogant appearance yesterday, and he could not help but shudder.When Charlie saw the frightened look on his face, he continued speaking, “Don’t forget that you also killed one of the Wade family’s bodyguards with a cigar! Even if it’s a life for a life, I will also have to kill you today!” After saying that, Charlie paused for a moment before he continued, “Don’t yo
Porter instantly had a shocked expression on his face when he heard Charlie’s words!Immediately afterward, Porter clenched his teeth and said coldly, “Charlie Wade! Who gave you so much courage?! You actually dare to disrespect the spirits of my parents in heaven?!”Charlie sneered and said, “I really did not expect that the infamous so-called lord from Ten Thousand Armies would be nothing more than a hypocritical b*stard with double standards!” After saying that, Charlie said, “You were the one who had been yelling and threatening to destroy my parents’ bones and ashes. You were disrespecting my parents’ spirits in heaven, but you’re actually refusing to allow anyone else to return the favor by doing the same as you did? Why? Could it be that you are stronger as compared to me? Or is it because you think that you’re doing better than me?”Porter suddenly had a guilty conscience, and he was at a loss as to how he should answer Charlie.He knew very well that he was the one who h
The Golden-Furred Lion King, who was also a six-star martial artist just like Hunter, was actually killed because a pebble that the other party had kicked had pierced through his brain!This made all of those soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies who had wanted to swarm forward and fight to the death against Charlie subconsciously take a few steps back. At the same time, the impulse that they had desperately felt to fight Charlie just now instantly died down because of Charlie’s move!These people were all terrified. They knew that since Charlie could kill the Golden-Furred Lion King with just one move, Charlie would definitely be able to kill any of them easily using the same method!Porter was also completely stunned!He finally realized the gap between Charlie and himself at this moment.Porter knew that if Charlie were to take action, he might not be able to survive even one blow in Charlie’s hand!At this moment, Charlie, who had just killed someone, looked at Hunter with a fr
After Charlie’s sentence came, the Black-Faced Panther King was scared out of his wits!He subconsciously retreated several steps backward. After that, he suddenly turned around and desperately tried to run down the mountain.He had seen Charlie’s ability just now when Charlie had killed the Golden-Furred Lion King.Charlie could kill a six-star martial artist with just a single pebble.If he did not run now, he was afraid that he would only be repeating the Golden-Furred Lion King’s mistake. However, as soon as he had just turned around and before he had even taken two steps, he felt an instantaneous pain at the back of his head, followed by the loss of all consciousness.The Black-Faced Panther King died a very quick death, and he was killed as fast as a flash of lightning, so he did not suffer much pain. Still, in the eyes of the other soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies, the death of the Black-Faced Leopard King was really too miserable!Charlie had used a mere pebble to pe
How would he know who this man who was wearing a black gunny sack over his head really was?!He did not have fluoroscopic eyes!Furthermore, Charlie had already sealed in Zayne’s consciousness long ago. Therefore, Porter could not sense even a little of Zayne’s cultivation base at all.So, Porter looked at Charlie and spoke up to ask, “Who exactly is this person?”Charlie sneered. “Why? You cannot recognize your own capable right-hand man just because his face is covered?”Porter was even more confused.Although Charlie had already suggested that this man was his capable right-hand man, Porter had never once thought that it could be Zayne at all. This was because in the cognition of all of the soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies, Zayne was bound to be in the Middle East, and it was highly improbable that he could be in Oskia. When Charlie saw the surprised look on Porter’s face, he sneered and ripped off the black gunny sack over Zayne’s head. When Porter as well as the other
The appearance of the Green-Eyed Wolf King, Zayne, who was the second expert of Ten Thousand Armies, as he broke down emotionally and cried so miserably felt like a heavy punch had landed on the hearts of everyone from Ten Thousand Armies!Although they did not know what it felt like to have their consciousness imprisoned in their bodies, seeing Zayne’s current appearance caused them to feel extremely terrified to the core of their being because of this unknown feeling.No one dared to imagine how helpless they would feel and how it would feel like to live a life that was worse than death if such a thing were to happen to them.They would truly be helpless, hopeless, and without any aid at all…It was also at this moment that they suddenly felt a complete hellish fear of Charlie in the depths of their hearts. They had originally thought that three out of the Four War Kings had been destroyed in Charlie’s hands, and another one had been destroyed in the Middle East.However, who
“Everything changes quickly and rapidly in the business world! Your father was incompetent, had limited skills, and was unaware of his own abilities!” “He was the one who thought too highly of himself and wanted to enter the futures market to try to compete against my father! As a result, my father defeated him reasonably and legitimately. That was why he lost all of his assets. Who the hell can he blame for this?” “It was because of his own incompetency and his limited abilities. What has that got to do with my father?”As he spoke of this, Charlie paused for a moment before he continued speaking, “Forget it if your father’s abilities are limited. What’s the big deal? He could have simply endured the hardship and planned a retaliation in order to make a comeback and rise again. However, he did not even have enough psychological endurance and strength and so, he chose to jump down from a building. Can you push the blame onto my father for this?”“And what about your mother? It wa
Fleur had repeatedly mentioned the conspiracy theory of Ashley using a body double over the last twenty years.Tarlon had investigated from many different angles, but everything from the gender, age, dental records, to body figure pointed to the fact that the deceased was Ashley Acker.And yet, Fleur had never bought it, insisting that Curtis was prepared for them just because Curtis' son had gone missing soon after.There was no way Curtis would save his son but not his wife, and the disfigured corpse only added fuel to Fleur's suspicion.Thus, over the last twenty years, Fleur had kept a close eye on the Ackers, arranging for two 'scholars' to be embedded amongst their ranks as sleeper agents. She went that far all to determine if Ashley was dead or had faked her death.However, the scholars had since been killed in action, and they had no spies within the Ackers left.As for Tarlon, he still doubted Fleur's theory even now, but he remained respectful as he spoke, "Milady, I mu
Meanwhile, on the edge of the South Pole, Tarlon Griffin rushed outside of Fleur Griffin's room, knocking the door gingerly as he announced, "I have news, my lady!"Fleur didn't respond, but the thick wooden door between them slowly opened as if pushed by an invisible force.Tarlon entered to find Fleur seated on the floor with her legs crossed at the ankles. Her eyes remained closed as she molded her Reiki, asking, "What is it?"Tarlon quickly answered, "News from Oskia. The Ackers are partnering with the Wades on a joint venture into electric-powered vehicles."Fleur slowly opened her eyes, asking quietly, "And you're telling me because?"Tarlon quickly explained, "It just came out of the blue, so I thought I should report it to you right away."Fleur sighed. "After I tried and failed to wipe out the Ackers so many times, they wouldn't dare set foot stateside. If anything, they must have decided to seek asylum in Oskia by offering a substantial investment, and it's a base whe
Silent for a while, Matilda then asked Yolden, "Do you think I can do it?""Yes!" Yolden nodded without hesitation. "You definitely won't have any problems!"Matilda sighed, shaking her head. "We traveled far abroad to study while we were young, but we didn't return to Oskia to help the country's development. It's been thirty years since, and now that we have returned to the country at the same time, I definitely wouldn't turn down such an opportunity to help."Pausing, she then said, "That said, major corporations make it a point to not hire family members. Forget spouses—employees aren't allowed to date, and one of the two will be asked to resign if necessary."Don't you think it's inappropriate since we are legally married, having gotten our certificate and all? And if we set these precedents, we would have trouble asking other employees to follow that policy. You are going to be a CEO, so you need a very clear answer on this issue."Yolden shrugged. "In the first place, that p
Yolden nodded slightly. "He does.""My gosh…" Matilda murmured. "That's too much… Ashley's son? A member of the Acker family and the Wades?!"Pausing, she then asked in confusion, "Wait, if Charlie has so much power and influence, why would he permanently reside in Aurous Hill… No, why would he be content as Jacob Wilson's son-in-law? Does Jacob know who he really is?""Definitely not," Yolden shook his head. "There were some compelling circumstances, and his identity is a sensitive one. That's why I'm asking you to tell no one except Paul—and even then, you should only tell him if he can keep the secret."Matilda was sharp enough to pick up on the reasoning, too. "Charlie's hiding because of his parents' accident, isn't he?""Yes," Yolden sighed. "He has his plans, but I didn't pry since I can only do that much, let alone help him on that.""Got it," Matilda nodded repeatedly. "Don't worry. My lips are sealed… And you just said you're resigning? Are you going to help with this e
"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
