The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 3908
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

Jordan witnessed Todd’s miraculous recovery from his seat in the second row. Todd’s sickly limbs recovered instantly and became normal again, no longer the frail, dark sticks they seemed to be previously.Naturally, Jordan was beyond shocked. He whispered to Jarvis beside him, “Master Yant, you’re very knowledgeable. Have you ever heard of such a pill in this world?”Jarvis shook his head with a dazed look. He himself was just as shocked, if not more.As a martial artist, his understanding of the world’s unknown was deeper than an average person. Even so, he had never witnessed such a miraculous medicine.Filled with emotions, he murmured, “Lord Fox, to be frank, I’ve never seen such a magical medicine before… Such power that can rejuvenate one’s health is far beyond my knowledge.”Jordan chuckled before saying in a solemn tone, “To be honest, this scene reminded me of when Kathleen was a child. Back then, I accompanied her to watch the 1986 edition of the Journey to the West. The

Todd’s eyes flowed with thankful tears as he voiced his gratitude over and over. “Yes! I can finally get back on my feet again, all thanks to the Rejuvenating Pill!”Jasmine replied with a small smile, “Alright. Number 27, please return to your seat now. Our auction will continue.”Todd nodded in a hurry before quickly wiping his tears. Then, he scurried down the stage in excitement.Everyone watched as Todd walked back to his seat at a relaxed pace. It was an unbelievable sight.The man’s body was paralyzed starting from the neck. With the exception of his mouth and eyes, he couldn’t move and needed someone to carry him up the stage. But in just a blink of an eye, he could walk on his legs again and exit off the stage by himself without any help whatsoever. The huge contrast between the before and after gave a strong impact to the astonished audienceMore and more regretted not doing their best to win the second Rejuvenating Pill.On the stage, Jasmine smiled and said, “The R

Chandler and Jeremiah placing a bid at the same time incited the crowd’s interest in the amulets.Jeremiah didn’t expect Chandler to be interested in the amulet as well. Smiling, he made a gesture of invitation and said politely, “Old Master Lennard, you may bid for the first amulet. I won’t compete with you.”Chandler thanked him with a smile. “Sir Wade, thanks for giving me the chance to go first. In that case, I’ll take this one first. I won’t compete with you for the next amulet.”Jeremiah laughed and nodded in agreement. “Great, great! Mr. Lennard, do go ahead.”Chandler raised his hand at once and made a bid. “I offer twenty million.”Jasmine quickly added, “Mr. Lennard, you just need to offer one million US dollars higher than the previous bidding price. There’s no need for you to bid at such a high price.”Chandler waved his hand, “It's fine, it’s fine.”Jasmine couldn’t do anything but nod in reply. She announced solemnly, “Our VIP, Mr. Lennard, has placed a bid of twen

Jordan joined the bidding at the final moments. He raised his hand indifferently and said, “I offer two hundred million.”Two hundred million US dollars was essentially double the previous bid, rounded up to the nearest hundred million. Jordan’s bidding price intimidated many competitors in an instant.After all, the amulet was different from the Rejuvenating Pill. Everyone in the hall had witnessed the pill’s miracles, but no one knew anything about the amulet’s strength. The third amulet was sold for two hundred million US dollars, making it probably the most expensive amulet in the world.No one else was willing to offer a price higher than two hundred million for the amulet. With that, Jordan successfully won the bid for the third amulet.When it came to the fourth amulet, the interested bidders quickly raised the price to one hundred and fifty million US dollars. At this stage, many found the amulet unworthy of such a price and gradually stopped bidding.Suddenly, someone i

At the same time, Jasmine announced grandly, “The next item coming up for auction will be the third quarter pill of the Rejuvenating Pill! There’s not much chance to win the bidding for the Rejuvenating Pill anymore. Everyone, please seize the opportunity. Don’t leave with any regret!”Jasmine’s words lifted everyone’s spirit once more.When Todd took the second Rejuvenating Pill, he showed the crowd the miracles one can gain from consuming the Rejuvenating Pill.Many had witnessed the endless possibilities. The crowd began rubbing their palms in anticipation, all of them deciding to fight for the third Rejuvenating Pill at all costs.Once again, the staff presented a Rejuvenating Pill on a silver plate on stage. Jasmine explained with a smile, “The starting price for the third quarter pill remains unchanged. The bid for the Rejuvenating Pill will start at one hundred million US dollars. Each new bid needs to be one hundred million higher than the previous one. It seems like eve

The man who thought he could easily win the third quarter pill with nine billion US dollars cried bitterly when he was forced to give up bidding. He had money, but he couldn’t afford the newest price. It was beyond his ability to pay.At last, the third quarter pill was won by a Jewish businessman at eighteen billion and five hundred million US dollars. The Jewish businessman has been suffering from various chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and coronary artery disease. As a result, his health continued to decline day by day.Some time ago, his doctor found out that his serum creatinine index remained high. After a diagnosis, his doctor confirmed that his kidneys had also begun to decline.Coupled with his other diseases, the doctor said he would enter end-stage renal disease within a few years. By then, he must rely on long-term dialysis to maintain his life or put his hope on a kidney transplant.His health had deteriorated greatly because of all the chronic disea

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
