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
At this time, Sheldon let out a long sigh and said very seriously to Porter, “Porter… what Charlie said just now is right indeed… Your parents’ deaths were not related to and have nothing to do with his father at all…”Porter was in tears as he asked, “Uncle Schulz, my father went against Curtis Wade to defend you back then, and my father and mother’s coffins are also here today. Aren’t you afraid that they will be utterly disappointed if you say that?”Sheldon was helpless as he said emotionally, “I would still say this even if I were to die today and go over there to see your parents.”After saying this, Sheldon paused for a moment before he continued speaking, “The Anti-Wade Alliance back then was indeed an immoral existence in itself. Curtis Wade had always been a decent man. He was not only a decent man, but he was also extremely capable and possessed great abilities. That was the reason why many of our families were shrouded in his shadow for a long time…” “So, those of us w
“The reason I did not dare to come back for so many years was because I wanted to wait until I had the strength to win over them so that I could avenge this blood feud that I have and put them to shame…”“But now, everything has actually turned out to be in this situation again…”As Porter said this, he raised his head and looked at Sheldon with flushed red eyes that were filled with desperation as he cried out loud, “I really cannot understand… I really cannot figure it out, Uncle Sheldon… This kind of feeling feels as if I have lived the past twenty years of my life for nothing…”Sheldon felt distressed when he heard this, and he could not help but burst into tears. He could understand the multiple pain and grievance that Porter was feeling.The hatred from back then, his failure today, and all of the misunderstandings behind this matter were tormenting Porter madly, making his life feel even worse than death.So, Sheldon spoke up and comforted him, “Porter, you have to stop d
At this moment, the expressions on the faces of everyone at the scene were all shocked and appalled.No one would have expected that as an eight-star martial artist, Porter would admit defeat completely by cutting off all of his meridians without even fighting against Charlie!Even Charlie himself was slightly amazed.Charlie had initially thought that Porter would definitely want to fight to the death, but to his surprise, Porter had actually taken the initiative to cut off his own meridians. At this moment, Porter knocked his head hard on the ground once again as he said in a loud voice, “I’m at fault, and all of this is my mistake alone. Mr. Wade, I beg you to arrange for my parents to be reburied again, and I also beg you to spare the lives of these men who have stayed by my side and followed me to battle for so many years. As for myself, as long as you say the word, I would be willing to grovel to death in front of you!”For Porter, he had long realized that he could not pos
At this time, Helen, who was amongst the crowd, felt a lump in her throat. She really could not stand it anymore, so she immediately walked out from the crowd, looked at Charlie, and pleaded, “Charlie, please forgive Porter and spare him this time on the account that he has truly realized his mistake…”When Porter saw Helen, he recognized her immediately. He was dumbfounded as he asked, “Aunt… Aunt Dunn… Why are you here too?!”Helen looked at Porter sympathetically as she sighed and said, “Charlie rescued me and Sophie before. When the both of us heard that you were coming up to Mount Wintry, we rushed over here overnight because we were worried that Charlie would be in danger. We were originally planning to go out of our way to plead with you and ask you to be magnanimous. Unexpectedly… Sigh….”Porter could not stop his tears, and he said tragically, “I’m sorry, Aunt Dunn… Sorry for causing you such trouble… I will not ask for Mr. Wade to spare me, but I simply ask that he spare m
Although these soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies were all very afraid of Charlie’s strength, at this moment, all of them could not bear to see Porter looking so miserable and desperate.After all, almost all of them had received favors from Porter. Therefore, they could not sit back and do nothing at all with peace of mind. What’s more, if Charlie refused to let go, Porter would not be the only one who would not be able to escape death, but it would also be very difficult for Porter’s subordinates to survive as well. So, all of them knelt on the ground one after the other as they hoped that they would be able to do a little something for Porter and come together to beg for Charlie’s forgiveness.When Jeremiah saw so many experts from Ten Thousand Armies kneeling on the ground and groveling before Charlie, he suddenly felt incomparably excited in his heart. From this scene, Jeremiah saw hope for the Wade family rising. Moreover, this rise did not mean that the Wade family could
"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
