The Four War Kings from Ten Thousand Armies could not even last one round against Charlie!Porter had even led the core members of Ten Thousand Armies to kneel before Charlie and beg for his forgiveness! With Charlie’s unparalleled strength, how could these men in black possibly hurt him?!However, Olivia, Walliot, and the others did not know of Charlie’s ability. They were all already angry and anxious at this moment, and they all felt that they should either give up or go through with this matter to the end today. They would have to kill Charlie and the queen!When the time comes, they would just defame Charlie with the news that he had committed adultery with Helena and temporarily put the queen’s body into the freezer. After that, they would then declare that the queen had died of natural causes in a few days. The public definitely would not have any doubts or suspicions at all. As for Helena, who was a witness, after she had fallen into Aman’s hands and ended up becoming
At this time, Olivia was already scared out of her wits.As she faced Charlie and at the moment when she was personally calling out Charlie’s name, she felt that she had already collapsed emotionally!Under Charlie’s strong coercion, her legs subconsciously went weak as she knelt in front of Charlie and choked up as she said, “Mr. Wade... This is all my fault. I only had this bad idea because of the money. Please forgive me and give me a chance to make up for my mistakes!”Olivia’s father, Richard, also realized that it was already over for them at this time and so, he hurriedly knelt on the ground too as he pleaded, “Mr. Wade, Olivia is still young, and it’s easy for her to act impulsively. Please do not hold it against her...”Walliot’s father, Gregory, also hurriedly came forward at this time as he said with a pleading look on his face, “Mr. Wade, we are willing to accept the condition of five billion euros that you mentioned before! The Rothschild family is willing to fork out
If this was the case, Gregory and his son would probably die here today, then...As he thought of this, he hurriedly pleaded, “Mr. Wade, don’t be anxious. I will think of a way to come up with the remaining five hundred million euros, and I will make it up to you as soon as possible...”Charlie nodded and said, “If this is the attitude that you have, we can move on to the next conversation, then.”Gregory was slightly relieved, and he hurriedly asked, “Mr. Wade, can you let me and Walliot leave if we can give you the 4.5 billion euros on time?”Charlie laughed and said, “You must be thinking a little too much. What I can promise you is that if you can take the 4.5 billion euros out now, I will spare you and Walliot from death. However, we have an old saying in Oskia stating that the person should live to suffer. So, whatever punishment you are going to receive is at my disposal.”As he spoke, Charlie then said, “Oh, by the way, your wife’s subsequent situation will also be the sam
Gregory would never have dreamt that Charlie would intend to let Ten Thousand Armies collect this money!Ten Thousand Armies were all outlaws, and they were scattered all over the war-torn areas. So, it would be impossible for even the Rothschild family’s core family members to do anything about it.After all, what rich people were most afraid of were the outlaws. Even if the core members of the Rothschild family were to find out that their own family members were missing and half of the family’s funds had gone into Ten Thousand Armies’ pockets, it would be absolutely impossible for them to help Gregory and find fault with Ten Thousand Armies. As he thought of this, Gregory was devastated. It seemed as though Charlie was really going to squeeze him dry today,However, what shocked him even more had yet to come. Stephen said over the phone, “Young Master, do you want me to give the phone over to Porter Waldron directly? It would also be more convenient for you to ask him dire
Porter hurriedly said, “No problem, Mr. Wade. Don’t forget to give me a collection bank account. When the time comes, I will convert all this money into US dollars and remit it to this bank account, then.”Charlie smiled and said, “Don’t transfer this money to me. I will ask the Ito family for a collection bank account number later. After you launder the money, transfer it over to the Ito family directly. The Ito family and Sophie Schulz are both operating my ocean shipping business for me. After you give the money to the Ito family, you can let them inject the money into Ito-Schulz Ocean Shipping Group’s bank account in the form of a capital injection.”Porter said, “No problem! You can ask the Ito family for a bank account number, and I will take care of the rest!” Charlie hummed slightly. After that, he hung up the phone. At this time, Gregory and his son, Walliot, as well as Richard and his daughter, Olivia, were already shocked on the spot as if they had just gotten struck b
At this moment, Cadfan was still kneeling on Mount Wintry. So, he had not officially handed the position as the head of the Schulz family over to Sophie for the time being. However, this matter had already been established. Therefore, when Sophie heard that Charlie was going to inject capital into Ito-Schulz Ocean Shipping Group, she immediately decided to inject capital together with him.When Charlie heard that Sophie had agreed, he said, “Why don’t we do this, then? I will inject 5.1 billion euros into Ito-Schulz Ocean Shipping Group through the Ito family first, and it just so happens that my shareholding ratio is also 51%. So, you will inject 4.9 billion euros so that our shareholding ratio will not need to be adjusted.”“No problem!” Sophie agreed without hesitation and said respectfully, “Benefactor, if there is another ten billion euros capital injected into Ito-Schulz Ocean Shipping Group, it will definitely become the world’s top shipping company!”Charlie hummed slightl
Charlie said coldly, “I’m giving you a single-choice question now, and there is only one option. If you dare to talk any more nonsense, I will break your legs before sending you over there!”Gregory immediately did not dare to say anything else, but he had already suffered an emotional collapse in his heart. He wiped his tears as he whimpered and sobbed by himself. Richard asked in a panic, “M-Mr. Wade, could you at least consider the fact that we are royalty and let us stay in Northern Europe, then?”“Impossible.” Charlie said indifferently, “Helena will inherit the throne over the next two days. Before then, you will all be stripped of your royal status before being exiled overseas. You’re not allowed to return to Northern Europe in this life!” When Olivia heard that Helena was going to inherit the throne, she felt hatred and anger. So, she hurriedly said to the queen, “Grandma, we cannot allow Helena to inherit the throne no matter what it is! She originally had a serious hear
In Charlie’s opinion, Madagascar was an excellent country to carry out labor reform.First of all, that place was extremely underdeveloped economically, and the conditions there were extremely poor. So, this would have a very good disciplinary significance for Olivia’s group of people.Secondly, the more it was this kind of country with an extremely underdeveloped economy, the more human labor would be required, and most of the labor would be agricultural work. Sugarcane and cotton were the local specialties of Africa which needed a lot of manpower to pick. The workload would be large enough for this group of people to experience the joy of labor.When the time came, Charlie could ask Sophie to get Cadfan a large estate in Madagascar and to buy more land for planting sugarcane and cotton. All of the farming work would then be allocated to this group of people. Olivia was on the verge of an emotional collapse at this point. She had originally been very high-minded, and she had al
Jacob wasn't really concerned with the invitation. He wouldn't be going anyway, and he wouldn't tell Elaine about it.Right now, he had a question.After hanging up on Walker, he asked curiously, "A designated driver would be just a few dozen bucks at most. Why get Walker?"Mr. Bay sighed meaningfully. "Jacob, my boy—it's not just my job description you must handle when you succeed me. You must understand the unspoken rules of the workplace as well as interpersonal relationships."Raising his right index finger, he chuckled, "Earning the loyalty of subordinates is a science. But it has to be a carrot and stick—never just the carrot, while offering them chances to be of service.""Take Walker, for example. As his boss, buying him lunch is 5 points. Ask for a favor, but it's 50 points instead!""As a leader, you should also make sure to give requests that are reasonable. That way, they will consider you to be their ally, or soon enough.""People are strange that way—psychology sim
Jacob certainly agreed with Mr. Bay. When going to a dinner where alcohol would be involved, having a designated driver would be most convenient.Still, Jacob had another plan in mind.Since he had a Cullinan and this was the perfect chance to show off, it would kill him not to drive."Actually, we should go on our own," Jacob told Mr. Bay right then. "We will take my car and get a designated driver to take us home. We can hang out in the backseat to chat—I mean, you'd be in a bad mood if you get a bad driver, bringing a car that stinks of tobacco. You know how bad it can get."Mr. Bay nodded cheerfully. "Alright! I'm counting on you!""Oh, it's only right!"Coming to an agreement, they hurried outside, with Jacob driving and Mr. Bay riding shotgun.They were having a pleasant conversation when Jacob suddenly got a call from Walker, who was his sub at Senior University.Answering with the in-car Bluetooth system, he said, "Hey, Walker. What's up?""Mr. Wilson! I'm done with cl
As such, Albert did not hesitate to say right then, "Don't worry, Mr. Wilson—since they are your friends, I will offer the half-price rebate as you've suggested! When the guests take their seats, I'll personally deliver a couple of nice bottles over as a token of my sincerity!"Oskia truly sets the bar when it comes to being humanistic.There were times when one must show due respect, but not too much either in case it changed the status quo.It was just like a couple eating out with a third-wheel.Even if the third-wheel was better off and happily took the check as the girl watched, there would inevitably be competitiveness. The generosity might even lead to the girl getting attracted to the third-wheel.As such, since Jacob was actually secondary in importance at the event, Albert would have to make sure not to rain on the host's parade while showing his respects to Jacob. Otherwise, the host may hold a grudge against Jacob even if everything was free of charge.And when it cam
Jacob put a hand on his chest. "Don't worry—everything is going to be fine when my son-in-law takes the stage."As soon as he finished speaking, an unknown number called his phone.He answered, hearing a familiar voice he couldn't quite place, "Good afternoon. Am I speaking to Mr. Jacob Wilson?""Yes. May I ask who I am speaking to?""Albert Rhodes, owner of Heaven Springs at your service. Would you happen to remember me?"Hearing that, Jacob turned on the speaker excitedly as he continued, "Oh, yes, Don Albert! Of course I remember!"Mr. Bay's eyes lit up when he heard Albert announce himself, and he mouthed, "Is that really Don Albert?!"Jacob nodded repeatedly, his vanity burgeoning.Mr. Bay was naturally thrilled too, and he leaned closer to listen just as Albert spoke humbly, "If it's alright with you, Mr. Wilson, please don't address me as Don Albert. It's just a title some brats came up with—you are Master Wade's father-in-law, which means you have seniority over me. So,
Mr. Bay was overjoyed, seeing how quickly Jacob agreed to it. "Thanks, Jacob! I owe you!" He exclaimed, but soon added, "It's past four now, and that bunch like to fraternize in the room before they eat. Could you get the room soon? I think they'll be arriving soon."Then, he moved closer to add quietly, "If you can get a Diamond Room like before, I will bring you along. I'm not going to lie, these are officials with decision-making authority. Being friends with them might propel us to new heights!"Jacob already knew that Mr. Bay was sucking up to his friend, otherwise, he wouldn't be so concerned when the dinner was organized by said friend. Understanding that the friend must be important too, Jacob was at once buoyed.After all, he had presumed that becoming vice president was the most he could achieve.Now, if he could attend that dinner with Mr. Bay and establish a good relationship with those bigwigs, he would have his turn when Mr. Bay got promoted too.With that in min
Reservations in Heaven Springs had always been unpredictable, and most rooms weren't open to the general public—even if said rooms were vacant for the night.It was not as if Albert Rhodes didn't want to make money when he built Heaven Springs. He simply didn't do it solely for profit, but only mostly for social events and posturing.Back when he was a humbler member of society, he realized that many bigwigs and even his fellows cared for pride a lot. Be it food, liquor, or even simply everyday consumption, they always strove for the best and the most expensive.That was why polite society valued their privacy and established their respective social circles, which was why Heaven Springs ensured that everything was first-rate: atmosphere, service, food, and clientele.Just like how bigwigs wouldn't dine at the same table as their goons, said goons wouldn't eat at the fancy places those bigwigs frequented even if they had money, as it may appear as if they were overstepping.That wa
As such, intent on keeping up his pretense, Jacob answered the phone, "Looking for me, Matilda?""Uh-huh," Matilda replied, and asked, "You didn't show up at Senior University, and your sub is saying you probably won't be coming for a while? Is that true?""Oh—right, that," Jacob quickly said. "Well, it's true—the gist of it is that the Association is getting busy with a project. As the vice president, I probably shouldn't be staying at Senior University all the time, right?""Heck, Mr. Bay called me last minute, telling me how busy we're going to be and that I was needed. That's why I had to go back, but I will head over to campus again when I have the time."Matilda knew right then that those were all excuses.However, she did not expose Jacob, instead asking, "Well, when are you free? So that I can send you my wedding invitation?""Oh, the invitation?" Jacob quickly chuckled. "You really didn't have to come to me—just pass it to Walker, my sub lecturer. He can pass it to me wh
The next afternoon, there was a sudden change of lecturers for the calligraphy class.Despite being the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, Jacob never showed up, instead getting a substitute instructor to replace him.Matilda had come with the invitation Yolden had written for Jacob, but seeing that Jacob wasn't at the lecture hall, she waited until the class was over to ask the sub, "Excuse me, can I ask why Mr. Wilson wasn't teaching this class?""He's busy at the association," the sub replied. "So, I'm taking over his class."Curious, Matilda pressed, "Then, would you happen to know when he will be coming?""Probably not for a while," the sub replied. "He delegated other classes to me as well, telling me that I could just stick to the PowerPoint slides."Then, he asked, "Do you have business with Mr. Wilson?"Matilda nodded. "Yes, but I can call him myself. Thank you."Leaving the lecture hall, Matilda called Jacob, who was goofing off in his office
On the other end, Matilda was left staring at Jacob's reply in confusion.She had presumed that Jacob would understand when she mentioned inviting his whole family that he should be coming up with an excuse to skip attending her wedding.That was the most ideal solution.As such, she was shocked that instead of playing along, Jacob's reply was short and blunt.[No problem. The four of us will be there!]Perplexed, Matilda was left wondering what Jacob meant. Was he really going to attend her wedding with Elaine?The thought left Matilda frowning as she absolutely didn't want to see Elaine—especially not at her own wedding.Yolden was writing an invitation when he saw the somber look on her face, and he couldn't help asking, "Is there a problem?""Jacob replied," Matilda admitted. "And he's saying that he will bring his whole family.""Really?" Yolden was confused too, as he was hardly as eccentric as Jacob. "But he's afraid of his wife and shouldn't be telling her at all…
