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
The noises seemed to be coming from Wendy and Kenneth’s room. Christopher and Hannah exchanged curious glances and quickly rushed out to see what had happened.At this moment, Wendy ran down the stairs with her disheveled clothes and a weeping voice.Christopher saw the reddish palm print on her face and frantically asked, “What’s wrong, Wendy? Did Kenneth hit you?”Wendy wailed innocently, “Dad, Mom, I don’t know why, but his manhood suddenly stopped working! I tried all kinds of methods, but… but it’s still the same. Then, he got angry and slapped me…”“What? Stopped working?” Christopher asked in surprise, “What do you mean? What happened?”Wendy couldn’t care less about the embarrassment and hurriedly explained, “That! His manhood! It just won’t get erect, no reaction at all!”“Huh?!” Hannah shrieked, “Is it because of his age?”Wendy shook her head. “No! He was okay last night! But I don’t know why, today, it suddenly couldn’t work…”Christopher finally understood why his
The Silverwing Hospital.Since it was already night when they got to the hospital, they could only wait for their turn at the emergency department.After lining up for twenty minutes, it was finally their turn, and the first thing the doctor asked was, “Yes? What made you come here?”Kenneth shooed Christopher out of the ward before saying to the doctor, “Doctor, I think I’m impotent all of a sudden. Can you please check what happened to me?”“Impotent?!” The doctor gaped in bewilderment and said, “Impotence is an andrological disorder, it doesn’t fall under emergency cases. I suggest you come again tomorrow morning to the andrology department directly and let the doctor there check it out for you. We at the emergency department mainly cover emergency cases such as headaches, fever, accidental injuries, or spasmodic diseases.”Kenneth growled indignantly, “My impotence is an emergency case! Can’t I see you for treatment right away?!”The doctor cleared his throat and started in a
Sensing the unusual silence and intensity, Kenneth asked, “Doctor, how is it?”The doctor shook his head helplessly and answered, “Mr. Wilson, I’m afraid that we can’t fix your problem. Based on our test and results, it shows that you suffer a disorder that we call penile necrosis, which means the nerves around your penis have suffered irreversible damage. I’m so sorry.”“Could it be that your hospital is not good enough?” Christopher asked.The doctor squinted at him in annoyance and said, “With the current medicine and technology, we can cure the damaged nerves and let it slowly recover, but we can’t do anything about the necrotic nerves. It’s like encountering a car accident. Some people can recover slowly, but some will never stand again.”Then, he turned his glance back toward Kenneth and said in a solemn tone, “In your case, no one in the world can do anything about it. It can’t be cured.”“What?! Argh! How can this be!!!”Kenneth’s face was as pale as a sheet of paper. He
“Oh? Do you know Doctor Simmons?” The doctor asked curiously.Kenneth laughed delightedly. “Of course, and it’s more than an acquaintance! The famous doctor you mentioned is our family’s friend! Back then, when he was down and out, it was our family that helped him to rise again and achieve what he has now. I didn’t know that he stays in Aurous Hill now, that’s great!”He jumped up from the bed and urged Christopher, “Hurry, get me to Dr. Simmons’s clinic now!”After asking for the address of Anthony’s clinic, Christopher quickly drove Kenneth to Serene World Clinic.As soon as they arrived at the clinic’s entrance, Kenneth hopped off the car and dashed into the clinic anxiously when he saw a man that seemed to be a clinic staff pushing a young man with crutches out of the door.The young man limped miserably while pleading, “Sir, sir, please, I beg you! Please inform Dr. Simmons that I need his help. I’ll give him five million dollars if he can fix my legs!”The clinic staff sai
Penile necrosis?This was an extraordinarily tricky problem!There was no known effective way of treating this problem in both Chinese and Western medicine. If it was truly necrosis, it was essentially untreatable.Anthony hurriedly asked, “How did it happen? What did you do? Penile necrosis is a very rare disorder!”Kenneth didn’t want to talk about his embarrassing incident, so he mumbled, “I don’t know how, but it happened just like that. I went to the Silverwing Hospital to have it checked, and the doctor said that it was necrosis…”Then, he wailed and pleaded, “Uncle Simmons, please help me! Only you can help me now!”Anthony felt that the problem was trickier than he could handle. Even with his medical skills, the most he could do was stabilize the necrosis so that his penis didn’t wither, but it was impossible to cure the necrosis and restore its function…He sighed and said, “Kenneth, necrosis is universally known to be a tricky and difficult problem to solve. It is very
Anthony was extremely dumbfounded upon hearing Xyla’s remark! He asked, “What? Are you saying that Kenneth offended Master Wade?!”“Yes!” Xyla nodded profusely. “Moreover, I heard that it was quite an intense fight. He even flirted with Master Wade’s wife, saying that he would give her 10 million dollars just to spend a night with her!”Anthony’s face turned into a grimacing shade of red. He didn’t expect that Kenneth had offended Master Wade to such an extent! Who did Kenneth think he was anyway!His mind ran wild with angry remarks. ‘Master Wade has helped me with the generosity and kindness that I can never repay. What about you, Kenneth? Yes, your father helped me back in the days, but I have already repaid my debt to the Wilson family for being your family doctor for several decades! Besides, your father has already passed on. I no longer have any obligation toward your family. I can still lend a hand to help you by all means if you had simply injured yourself, but you picked
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
