Kenneth looked Charlie up and down before he sneered and said, “You are that useless son-in-law of the Wilson family?”Charlie replied lightly, “Yes, I am. How can I help you?”Kenneth replied coldly, “I heard that you insulted and humiliated Wendy a lot in the past. I am going to slowly make you pay for what you did to Wendy!”Charlie nodded before he said disdainfully, “Well, we do not have all day. If you want, you’d better avenge her right now, then.”Kenneth initially thought that he would be able to make Charlie kneel and beg for mercy if he just revealed his identity and said a few ruthless words to him. However, he did not expect that a piece of trash like him would actually have the audacity to speak to him in such a disrespectful manner! Kenneth grit his teeth before he said, “Young man, you seem to be very haughty and arrogant. Do you know who I am?”Charlie smirked before he said, “You are nothing but a piece of trash to me. I don’t care about your identity at all.”K
When Kenneth saw that Charlie was stepping on his crotch, he was so frightened that he turned pale immediately.Even though he believed that Charlie was just a piece of trash that he could get rid of with a snap of his fingers, he knew that he would definitely lose his manhood if Charlie stepped on his crotch again!Even if he could get rid of Charlie in the future, how would that benefit him? He would have already lost his manhood by then!As a man, especially as a wealthy and powerful man like him, there would always be plenty of women around him. No matter what it was, he could not afford to lose his manhood! How was that different than Charlie taking his life?Therefore, he hurriedly begged for mercy, “Brother Wade! Brother Wade! If there is anything, we can just amicably discuss this!”Charlie smiled before he said, “Why? Are you afraid?”There was cold sweat all over Kenneth’s face, and he nodded repeatedly before he said, “I was wrong! I know that I was wrong! Please forgi
Kenneth did not understand what Charlie was saying, and he subconsciously asked, “You… what do you mean?”Charlie smiled before he said, “It’s okay. I will not step on your crotch, but I will abolish your manhood!”After that, Charlie used his toes to hit Kenneth’s abdomen, and some spiritual energy flowed out of his toes at this time.Ever since he had studied the , Charlie had already grasped and learned how to control his qi. This trace of qi that he had just released could cut off Kenneth's nerves, making it completely impossible for him to use his manhood.However, Kenneth did not know what Charlie was doing when he gently tapped his lower abdomen with his toes.He also did not notice that he had already lost his manhood at this time. In the future, he would only be able to look at his man part, but he would never be able to use it again.Now, Kenneth was indeed very furious and terrified, and he was just eager to flee out of this place so that he could bri
Just as Claire felt that there was a tremendous change in Charlie, Kenneth, who had just escaped from the hall, returned with four bodyguards by his side!These four bodyguards were the four most capable bodyguards working for him, and each of them had extraordinary strength and fighting skills.In his opinion, it would be easy for these four bodyguards of his to kill Charlie!However, he did not want to kill Charlie in front of the crowd of people.He wanted to force Charlie into submission and call him his ‘grandfather’ in front of everyone here today! After gaining back his own face, he would then destroy Charlie’s manhood!After that, he would look for another opportunity to get rid of Charlie in the future!Everything that he was going to do today was just to relieve all of his pent up anger. Kenneth knew that the only way he would be able to relieve all the hatred that he was feeling inside was by killing Charlie!After all, he had already lived for more than fifty years,
The bodyguards had a horrified look in their eyes as they stared at Charlie!Why was this young man so scary?! The three of them were attacking him at one go, and yet, they were actually defeated by just one young man? They had lost their combat effectiveness just like that?! This… this young man was simply a God!Charlie walked toward the three bodyguards before he stared at them with a cold expression on his face. “Since you enjoy being a dog for others, I will make sure that you can only crawl on the ground in the future!”After that, Charlie stepped on one of the bodyguard’s right leg!Snap!The man’s right kneecap was crushed immediately.After that, he raised his foot again and subsequently crushed the opponent’s left kneecap.When the other two bodyguards saw this, they were all trembling in shock!After that, the two bodyguards began crying and begging Charlie for mercy.Charlie replied coldly, “You are all hooligans who are crueler than anyone else when it comes to hu
Contemptuous mockery echoed around them.Kenneth was such a wuss! He had called Charlie ‘dad’ three times over the course of a few minutes!Was he really the chairman of the renowned Modestway Group? He was such an embarrassment to himself and his company!Regardless, Kenneth couldn’t care less about any of that!A great man knew when to yield and when not to.You had to be alive, and only then could you use your manhood, right?If you were dead, what good was your manhood, then?So, he quickly went toward Charlie to butter him up. “Dad, please be merciful and forgive me, please! I swear, I’ll be forever in your debt, daddy!”Charlie waved his hand and laughed. “You should have called me dad earlier when I asked nicely. It’s too late now.”Kenneth gaped in surprise, thinking that Charlie wanted to mess with him. He pleaded desperately while tears drenched his cheeks, “Dad, please, I’m sorry, daddy! Please forgive me…”Charlie looked at Wendy who was standing in a daze and sai
Kenneth bit his lips, enduring the humiliation and anger in his heart as he respectfully said to Charlie, “Grandpa, can I go now?”Charlie patted his cheek and said, “Okay. Go now, my dear grandson!”Tears of humiliation fell from Kenneth’s eyes as he turned around and walked out tremblingly.Wendy hurriedly followed him out of the venue as well.They walked as fast as they could, worried that Charlie would stop them again, but Charlie had lost all interest in teasing them.Kenneth’s penis had completely malfunctioned now, he would be trapped in extreme despair for the rest of his life!After they went out, Don Albert rushed toward Charlie and said, “Master Wade, I’m sorry for being late. It’s my fault for letting you waste your time and effort with that trash. I’m willing to accept any punishment for my negligence.”Charlie waved his hand indifferently and asked, “Why are you here? Isn’t this the summit for the construction and decoration industry? Are you in this field, too?”
Kenneth was so pissed off right now, and Wendy was a convenient tool for him to vent his anger out so that he didn’t burn himself in the wrath of fury!As soon as they returned to the Wilson family villa, Kenneth dragged Wendy out of the car and rushed into the house.Christopher, Hannah, and Lady Wilson were sitting in the living room. When the parents saw Kenneth and Wendy rushing upstairs straight away without greeting them, a tinge of awkwardness hovered on their faces. Lady Wilson cleared her throat and said, “You guys should be grateful that Kenneth is fond of Wendy. Stop overthinking it.”Christopher nodded reluctantly and answered, “Mom, I’m not overthinking it. I just feel a little awkward.”Lady Wilson chided disdainfully, “What’s so awkward about it? You’re getting paid for it, aren’t you? The five million dollars that Kenneth gave to Wendy, is it in your hands now?”“Yes, mom, it’s with me.”Lady Wilson sighed and softened her tone a bit. “See? If Wendy and Kenneth
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
Yolden's mind short-circuited at those words. "The most advanced AI module?!"He had been working on Wall Street for years, having invested in substantial startup tech companies as well as assisting plenty of Nasdaq tech enterprises with their IPO. That was why he especially had a sharp six sense for cutting-edge technology.It had been a while since he had gotten up the saddle, and AI had just become the trend recently, but he still paid close attention. He was well aware what applications were possible for AI modules, but he was shocked that Charlie already possessed what all the online giants were coveting!Thrilled, he quickly asked Charlie, "Can the Rothschilds resolve all the hardware and software issues? High-processing power display cards are a dime a dozen these days, and local enterprises are all planning to sell them one by one. The demand is just that high!"Charlie chuckled. "Don't worry—the Rothschilds will handle both issues for me, even the data centers. We bought i
Keith, who had been silent throughout, waved him off as he said solemnly, "Please don't sell yourself short, Professor Hart. I'm sure you can do well in this position, but it's still a matter of will."If your heart is truly set on educating future generations, then I'm sure you'd reject our offer no matter what we say."However, if you felt the slightest interest, even anticipation, for such a major project, then you really should consider our offer."We've already invested in Godot Autos for 3 billion USD and over 10 billion if we're counting in Ricebolt. But we still have 30 billion more in capital available—and that means it's 40 billion USD at play."I doubt any other global car maker can afford that much, let alone a new car maker. So, I dare say that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"Keith's words spoke to Yolden's very soul—a startup capital of forty billion US dollars was certainly unprecedented for electric-powered vehicles. Even Ricebolt had barely garnered ove
