The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 3916
After a few collection items were successfully auctioned, the auction event was finally approaching its long awaited end.The auction for the fourth quarter pill was about to begin. Charlie used the walkie-talkie and gave Jasmine some instructions.“Before the auction for the fourth quarter pill begins, please give the bidders a friendly reminder. For those who’re waiting to bid for the last full pill, if their financial strength is a little risky, advise them to bid for the fourth quarter pill first. Otherwise, they may not win anything.”Jasmine understood. She immediately announced to the bidders, “The next item for auction is the Rejuvenating Pill. This is the fourth quarter pill, which is also the last quarter pill available for auction. I believe everyone has witnessed the magical effects shown by the three quarter pills earlier. I know many have regretfully missed your chance to win the pills earlier. This is the last quarter pill available. Everyone, please seize the opportu

They felt like they would inevitably go home empty-handed if they didn’t seize the opportunity to win the final quarter pill. They were fully aware that the last full pill’s price wouldn’t be any lower than sixty or seventy billion US dollars.If they did the math and calculated the price, a quarter pill would be less than twenty billion US dollars. The problem was, paying sixty to seventy billion US dollars was beyond the abilities of many.On top of that, the rules forbade them from joint bidding. Those with insufficient funds would have to give up and try for the quarter pill instead. While the last quarter pill might be more expensive, they had no choice but to accept the facts and trudge on.Those who came to join the auction for the Rejuvenating Pill had their reasons, with most of them either very old or ill, or were suffering from terminal illnesses.Once one entered the state of counting their remaining days left in life, money would eventually become less important.At l

The world was never fair, even in the face of death.Many poor people lived in the most desolate areas of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. A glass of unclean water might cause malaria, promptly taking away a young adult’s life.If an ordinary man of the working class was diagnosed with cancer, a good social security system could allow him to live perhaps ten years more.In the best tumor hospital in the world, some patients could even survive the middle and late stages of cancer and live five years more, or even longer, as compared to an ordinary healthy man.Those in the auction who were fortunate enough to win the bidding for the Rejuvenating Pill had a chance to be fully recovered, even if they were diagnosed with mid-stage or late-stage cancer. They could extend their life from a few months to years or decades.Charlie used this special auction with special rules and forms to show the participants a miraculous medicine never seen before in the world, the Rejuvenating Pill.

He managed to save his money and attain immense wealth, but his life would reach an end in the coming three to six months.When Lee saw the British billionaire stop bidding, he was so excited that his body trembled uncontrollably.Jasmine, on the other hand, was dumbfounded to see how things had turned out.A quarter pill of Rejuvenating Pill could reach thirty-eight billion and two hundred million US dollars so easily. The amount exceeded the Moore family’s total net worth! What happened before her eyes was beyond her comprehension.Despite her shock, she remained professional. She asked politely, “Thirty-eight billion and two hundred million US dollars once. Are there any higher bidders?”The hall was deadly silent.The crowd was no longer shocked. Rather, they were filled with despair. They finally found the miracle of life, but no one expected the miracle to be so ridiculously expensive.After that, Jasmine continued asking and called for the price thrice. At last, the hamm

When Lee finally managed to make the payment of thirty-eight billion and two hundred million US dollars, he strode to the stage full of hope.He staggered from his physical weakness, his body so close to death. The pain from the terminal cancer tormented him greatly.He was already at the stage where he had to inject painkillers into his body multiple times a day. Before he left the room to join the auction, he made his subordinate inject a dose of painkillers.The painkiller's effects had weakened a lot by now. Every step he took gave him a heart-wrenching pain.Despite that, Lee’s endurance was by no means comparable to that of ordinary people.As an ex-soldier, he survived the war between North and South Korea. The brutal experience forged his extraordinary perseverance that lasted to this very day.Enduring the terrible pain, he staggered his way up the stage. The pain would not stop, but his mood gradually soared.He knew it was his last step before his rebirth of life. The

However, his gaze gradually grew firmer as he wiped his tears away,This was also the crucial moment where he gained a new understanding of money. No matter how rich people may be, they couldn’t bring their money with them after death. What was so wrong with spending more than thirty-eight billion US dollars at once? Wealth’s ultimate mission was to serve life!The audience watched as the skinny elderly with a sallow complexion reverted to a healthy appearance in just a flash. Shockingly, he looked spirited and healthy again, as though he had regained his lost youth. The sight made the audience seethe with envy.Envy wasn’t the only thing they felt. Many were in agony, for all the quarter pills available in the auction had all been bought and consumed by their rightful owners.The last Rejuvenating Pill for auction was a complete pill.Many couldn’t help but wonder about a full pill’s effect. A quarter pill was already effective. What more a full pill?Lee soon left the stage a

Jeremiah could hear the many soft distinct murmurs buzzing around him.That raised his excitement even more. His delight came from the pill, but most of it was due to the limelight.The past saw the Wade family weakened in the eyes of the world, for they were forced to surrender a staggering half of their property to the Ten Thousand Armies. They were talked about, belittled, and ridiculed by outsiders.The memories of it upset Jeremiah greatly. How he wished he could announce to the world that the Wade family wasn’t devoured by the Ten Thousand Armies. Not at all! On the contrary, it was them who took over and dominated the Ten Thousand Armies!Despite that, Jeremiah knew full well that his amazing grandson Charlie had no plans to let this fact be known to any outsider. The true relationship between the Wade family and the Ten Thousand Armies would remain hidden, just as Charlie desired.Jeremiah would love nothing more than to brag the truth to the world, but his courage failed

The deep wrinkles on his skin gradually faded, and the dark spots on his skin lightened and disappeared, just like magic.He was visibly turning younger. The pill was truly turning back time!With just a half pill, Jeremiah became younger by ten years. He transformed from a white-haired elderly to a slightly older man with partially gray hair. His ancient visage now carried traces of energetic youthfulness. The half pill’s effect renewed the crowd’s impression of the Rejuvenating Pill.Seconds later, they overcame their shock and erupted into intense discussions. Distinct murmurs could be heard from below the stage.“My goodness! To think a half pill’s effect could be so impressive! Jeremiah Wade looks like he’s ten years younger now!”“This is unbelievable! If half a Rejuvenating Pill can have such effects, won’t a full pill bring more miracles?!”“That’s obvious! One will surely become younger by at least twenty years after taking a full pill!”“God… How can there be such a

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
