The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 3902
The auction for the first Rejuvenating Pill ended on a perfect none. After that, Jasmine began to introduce the second auction item for the night.The auction’s agenda was set at a pace to stimulate the guests’ desires. They would start the auction with the Rejuvenating Pill to stir the crowd. Then, they would auction a few selected antique pieces by the Vintage Deluxe to feed the audience’s anticipation. Once everyone’s impatience had reached the limit, they would start the auction for the second Rejuvenating Pill. After that, the same cycle would repeat.The auction revealed the second auction item, a kiln blue-and-white plate from ancient times.At the same time outside the auction hall, the soldier took Travis to a lounge backstage. As per Charlie’s request, any bidder whose right to bid was revoked mustn’t leave immediately. They could only leave after the auction officially ended.Charlie watched Travis’s reaction while observing in the control room. He couldn’t help but sigh

Travis agreed, “You’re right, Master Wade…”He looked at Charlie and choked a little. He was hesitant, but in the end, he decided to ask. “Master Wade, I beg you to give me one more chance. It’s my fault for losing my right to continue bidding in the auction this year, but please don’t revoke my right in future auctions!”Charlie said sternly, “Mr. Lane, I’ve set up such a big event to attract the best players in the world. I’ll have to ensure the game’s fairness. If I can’t ensure fairness, how can the event continue?”“But I…” Travis wanted to explain himself, but Charlie interrupted him with a show of hand.“Mr. Lane, we’re adults. You’ve violated the rule, so you have to bear the consequences.”Travis was reluctant, but he knew he had no right to bargain with Charlie.Not to mention, Charlie’s current status and strength would rise greatly after this auction. He would easily earn up to hundreds of billions of US dollars from this auction alone. With how much Charlie’s prowess

Travis’s turbulent emotions finally calmed after Charlie’s suggestion.Charlie added, “Well then, Mr. Lane. You may rest here first and leave when the auction ends. Pay attention to what I’ve said before. I’ll inform Doris Young from Emgrand Group as well. She’ll contact you if there are any future updates.”Travis was incredibly grateful to Charlie. With a face full of tears, he bowed and said, “Master Wade, thank you! I won’t forget your kindness!”He then added, “I’ll rush back to Lancaster tonight and gather all my men for a meeting. We’ll discuss how to move all our businesses to Aurous Hill as soon as possible. If you need my help, Mr. Wade, please order me as needed. I’ll do my best to help!”Charlie nodded with a smile. “Sure. You should stay here and compose yourself. I’ll go first.”Travis replied hurriedly, “Understood. I’ll reflect on my actions and recompose myself!”Charlie replied with a pleased hum before leaving the lounge.Travis slumped on the ground after Cha

The price went up within seconds, and kept rising until it reached the highest bid of five billion US dollars. Despite that, people kept bidding.“Five billion and ten million!”“Why are you increasing the bid by tens of millions? I offer five and a half billion!”“I offer five point eight billion! Five point eight!”The Middle East billionaire looked around, completely stunned. He thought he had been bold enough to start his bid at two billion. Unexpectedly, he was just helping to drive the hype. Everyone must have gone insane. Five point eight billion US dollars? How many people could afford that?As he thought of that, he regretted missing the first pill. He sank in despair, regretting his foolishness. He clenched his teeth and decided to bite the bullet. He raised his voice again and shouted, “Six billion! I offer six…”Before he could finish his sentence, the man who offered five point eight billion shouted again, “Six point eight billion! Six point eight!”The Middle E

Todd called his bid at seven billion, but even that didn’t scare his competitors away.Soon, another wealthy tycoon raised his hand and called his bid, “Seven point two billion!”The Oskian tycoon who placed a bid of five point eight billion and six point eight billion before paled.He made his bid generously, but he didn’t have unlimited funds.At most, he could only afford at most around eight billion or so. He cheerily raised the bid because he wanted to scare away his competitors before they raised the price to his upper limit.His strategy would have worked in the bidding for a commonly auctioned item. However, they weren’t bidding for any ordinary item. They were bidding for their life!Those who were terminally ill saw this as a good chance for a full recovery. Winning a quarter pill was more than enough to extend their lifespan by at least ten years. Many of them were in their fifties and sixties. After they were diagnosed with their terminal illness, they could only li

The first auction for a quarter pill of Rejuvenating Pill caused a huge stir in the ballroom. Everyone scrambled around, losing their minds as they kept bidding.At this stage, only the strongest was likely to win the quarter pill. The only exceptions were those who intended to compete for the last full Rejuvenating Pill.In that case, it was better to let the stronger ones win the second quarter pill. Without him, the next two quarter pills behind would most likely drop in price. Or so what many thought.Thus, many who could afford to continue bidding eventually gave up. They assumed they were the smartest, but they couldn’t be more wrong. Many in the hall shared similar thoughts.As a result, when Todd raised the price to ten billion US dollars, his last competitor gave up and stopped bidding.His last competitor thought he would be the strongest bidder once Todd was out of the competition. After all, when he began bidding at nine billion earlier, others could no longer follow u

Paraplegia was medically irreversible. However, treating paraplegia with a rejuvenating pill was simply overkill.Jacob had gone through the same accident as well, and his injury was almost identical to Todd’s. Yet, Charlie had only used half a pill to heal Jacob.A healing pill was ranked much lower than a Rejuvenating Pill. Therefore, half a Rejuvenating Pill was simply more than enough to treat Todd’s paraplegia.With the help of his subordinate beside him, Todd called his finance auditor. He hurriedly ordered them to transfer ten billion US dollars straight to the auction house’s designated account, his impatience evident all the way.Jasmine confirmed the receipt of payment and announced, “I’ve just received a confirmation of receipt from my finance. Please welcome Number 27 on stage to take the second Rejuvenating Pill for the night!”Todd couldn’t wait any longer. He gestured to his subordinate with his gaze, and the latter picked him up from his seat at once.Todd was di

Todd had only taken a quarter of the Rejuvenating Pill for a few seconds. Already, he could regain his senses and feel the warmth of his body. This was proof that the pill was effective and could cure his paraplegia.Todd’s joy did not last for long, however. Immediately after, waves of intense pain spread throughout his body.Todd’s screams of joy turned into howls of pain, the sound such that many jumped in fright. His whole body was in great pain, but it couldn’t be compared to the pain attacking his limbs.As he had suffered from muscle atrophy for too long, it had led to this excruciating pain. But as muscle atrophy stemmed from paralysis, the paralyzed patient wouldn’t be able to sense any pain, and that included the pain from muscle atrophy.The Rejuvenating Pill had healed Todd starting from his nervous system. Now that he was able to feel again, the severe pain transmitted by his nervous system to his brain was hurting him greatly. It was so painful, he felt like dying.H

Pausing, Charlie then said, "I'll call Steve to drop by later too. I'm sure folks in Aurous Hill won't know him, but your potential troublemaker might.""I-Is that really fine?" Yolden blurted."What's not fine about it?" Charlie chuckled. "He has been treated like a tool ever since he came to Aurous Hill, and now that he has a chance to strut about, he wouldn't ask for more."Yolden appeared slightly relieved at that, and Charlie asked, "By the way, where's Paul, Matilda, and Autumn?""Getting their makeup done," Yolden replied. "Paul's my best man while Autumn's the maid of honor.""Good," Charlie nodded with a grin. "Don't worry—the wedding's going to be a success."As they spoke, Matilda stepped out of the dressing room in a stark-white wedding dress, flanked by Autumn and Paul.Seeing Charlie, Autumn nodded politely, "Good morning, Mr. Wade."As Charlie nodded in turn, Paul started, "G-Good morning… Mr. Wade…"Seeing that he was nervous and tentative, Charlie knew that he

As Yolden and Matilda were remarrying after living abroad for years, the wedding ceremony was much simpler, skipping Oskian customs and having a simple wedding reception for their guests at the hotel hall.There weren't that many guests either—aside from their children and close friends, only a handful of Yolden's colleagues at Aurous Hill University were invited.As the celebrant, Charlie didn't have much to do and was mainly the emcee.He brought along his jacket as he headed out to Shangri-La, not wearing it immediately so that Claire wouldn't guess that he was attending Matilda's wedding.Arriving at the Hanging Gardens before the guests were supposed to arrive, he found Yolden working with the staff to finalize the preparations.Seeing Charlie, Yolden approached him and said, "Thanks for coming this early, Charlie."Noticing that he was a little tired, Charlie asked in concern, "Had a bad night?"Yolden nodded, sighing, "Paul's uncle caused a huge mess. Both Matilda and I a

Tarlon nodded. "How do you suggest we find them?"Fleur scowled. "There's no rush. There are things which I'm still confused about, so just keep a close eye on the Ackers and the Wades for the time being. Report to me right away if anything important comes up—don't afford our enemies any opportunities to exploit.""Yes, milady!" -The next day, more news outlets were covering the joint project between the Ackers and the Wades as word continued to spread.However, neither family revealed too many details, be it the name of the company, who was the CEO, or the scale of their business.While the public was dying with curiosity, nothing else was known.Still, Aurous Hill's officials were especially interested, with the town hall visiting the Ackers the next day and showing utmost sincerity by leasing a whopping 2-million-square-meter land along the southern highway. Still, the condition was for the Ackers to come true on their promise to propel the city's economy to 15 billion US d

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
