Chapter 3997

Author: Lord Leaf
Stephanie asked again, “What if they do not feel comfortable and want to get rid of everything?”

“No way.” Claudia shook her head and said, “They had already disguised the death of my parents and brothers as a major accident in itself. Now that I’m back, in everyone’s eyes, I am the only pitiful one who has survived.”

“If I were to also suddenly die one day, it would then look too deliberate in the eyes of outsiders. So, as long as they are certain that I do not know of the inside story, they will not take the risk of killing me.”

“What’s more, if I want to avenge my parents and my two younger brothers, I will have to come back to Vancouver to have the opportunity to do so!”

As Claudia spoke of this, she broke into tears once again and said, “It’s just that when I came back, my parents and two brothers had already been cremated and buried hastily. As their only family, I was not even able to say one last goodbye to them at all...”

After hearing this, Stephanie could not hold back

    This short sentence shocked Claudia completely.She subconsciously covered the scar on her face and blurted out, “You... How could you tell?!”Charlie said indifferently, “Although your scar looks very realistic, it is only a visual effect. If it was a real scar, it would still be a part of your body tissue. In other words, a real scar would look alive, and no matter how realistic a fake scar might seem, it is just an external material.”Claudia could not understand Charlie’s explanation.She could understand that the scar was fake, but she could not understand how Charlie could see that. To Charlie, his perception ability based on Reiki was far beyond that of vision itself.Charlie had already realized that Claudia’s scar was completely devoid of any semblance of life from the very first time he had seen her.It was just like how an artificial flower could never have the vitality of a real flower itself no matter how realistic it looked. Charlie could already judge that the

    He did not doubt the truthfulness behind Claudia’s words. This was because this world was never as peaceful or kind as ordinary people thought it was.Despite the high development in the economy in Europe and the United States, the underground world in Europe and the United States was also the dirtiest place in this world, and it was second to none.Claudia herself was the daughter of the former leader of the mafia, and she must have heard about these things. What Charlie was most angry about was the fact that these mafia members who had hands and feet and were perfectly capable of working were making huge profits from selling women. This was simply outrageous. So, he suppressed his anger and spoke up to ask Claudia, “How did you know that Gopher is planning to make a move on Stephanie?” Claudia took out a lipstick-like flashlight from her pocket and said, “This is a violet flashlight with a specific wavelength which is not quite the same as the wavelength for the violet light

    Claudia thought that Charlie did not understand her words and so, she panicked as she repeated herself again, “Mr. Wade, what I’m saying is that they have at least seven or eight hundred men, and this is still the most conservative estimate. If you include some of them with nepotism, there might possibly be a thousand men...”Charlie nodded and said, “It would still be somewhat useful if you could gather a thousand men together.”Claudia hurriedly said, “Mr. Wade, you certainly would not be able to deal with them alone... And they would still be more or less restrained during the day. They probably would not dare to mess around if you took Stephanie away. Stephanie will be able to escape the disaster as long as she gets to the airport. If you really wait until night, you might not be able to leave even if you wanted to...”Charlie smiled faintly and casually said, “It’s okay. I have no intention of taking her away, anyway. It’s easy to leave, but it does not make sense to do so. Why

    Claudia said, “In addition to this, they also run several bars, hotels, and quite a few establishments with illegal services. Aside from that, they also run several underground casinos.”Charlie nodded and asked her, “Who should I look for if I want to go to their casinos to play a couple of games?”Claudia asked awkwardly, “Mr. Wade... You’re not joking around with me, right...?”Charlie laughed and said, “Of course not.”Claudia thought that Charlie was eyeing the other party’s casino, and she said seriously, “The casino is one of their main sources of income, and there are a lot of people keeping guard there. Furthermore, they are also loaded with live ammunition in order to prevent people from cheating. You should not have any thoughts about the casino...”Charlie waved his hand and said, “I do not have any other intentions. I simply want to go there to play a couple of games and also lose some money to them at the same time.”Having said that, Charlie could not help but sigh

    When Porter heard Charlie’s words, he hurriedly asked, “Mr. Wade, are you intending to take action against some kind of organization?”“That’s right.” Charlie did not hide it, and he said indifferently, “There is a small group that is doing a lot of evil, and I want to destroy them. However, it would not be appropriate for me to kill them all. So, why don’t I send them to you as free laborers instead? They would definitely not be able to escape in this lifetime with tens of thousands of soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies guarding them.”Porter immediately said, “Mr. Wade, do you need my cooperation?”Charlie thought about it and said, “Yes. You should arrange for another group of soldiers to come over. It’d be better for you to send more men, perhaps about two hundred people. They should arrive in Vancouver in thirty hours, which is before tomorrow night.”Porter said, “No problem, Mr. Wade. Thirty hours is enough. I will arrange the manpower and get them to set off as soon as possi

    She stopped hesitating. Nodding, she said firmly, “Then, I’ll give him a call then.”…Meanwhile… On the ground floor of an Italian restaurant on George Street. Gopher was sitting at a large table, personally supervising a few of his subordinates who were counting money with two money detectors. Their gang pays their subordinates once a week, and this evening was payday.Most of the active members were the kind of people who would get drunk in the heat of the moment, without caring to save any cash for rainy days. They would squander all of their money immediately after they received it, only to suffer hard to make ends meet as they wait for the next payday.The entire gang consisted of more than seven hundred people, and the average weekly per capita salary was no less than a thousand Canadian dollars. The cost of the weekly payroll was nearly as high as a million Canadian dollars. As Gopher watched the piles of cash being packed into small envelopes, frustration surged i

    “Do you think I don’t want to keep up with the times?”Gopher rubbed his temples, annoyed. “I said the same thing to the boss a long time ago, but he’s not willing to invest. He just told us to bear with it! I’m just as frustrated as you. There’s nothing I can do about this.” Gopher was displeased with his current boss and hated the way the latter did things. After the new boss seized power, the first thing he did was put money in his own pocket. The welfare of other workers didn’t cross his mind the slightest. If one requested him to give up on his income temporarily and use the money for a long-term investment that would benefit the gang as a whole, he would refuse. Unless it concerned his personal profits, he wouldn’t be interested. Gopher was unable to persuade his new boss, especially when the man was so hard-headed. As such, he could only watch as the casino’s business grew worse and worse over time. Just then, his cell phone rang.Looking at the ID, he was surprised

    In Gopher’s case, Claudia was the one who introduced him to the customer. However, he obviously wouldn’t give her a share of the money. He would bypass her role as an introducer and grab the commission fees all for himself.Plus, if he followed Mr. Wade around tonight and accompanied Mr. Wade to gamble, he would be acting as the code boy and could take 25% of whatever amount Mr. Wade loses! Aside from taking the 25% cut, Gopher would also get a 10% share from the remaining 75% of the casino’s revenue.Thinking of this, Gopher’s interest in this mysterious Mr. Wade rose. He was even more ecstatic to meet the man!Wasn’t this just like having the God of Wealth knocking at his door?As such, he grew quite impatient. He couldn’t wait to swindle money from this man! If Mr. Wade happened to lose around a million dollars in his casino, Gopher would be swimming in cash! …Meanwhile, on the other side…Charlie exchanged three hundred thousand Canadian dollars in cash with his own US

    Jacob certainly left Charlie speechless—the man might get kicked out of the house, but he was more worried about his car.Sighing in exasperation, he told Jacob, "Look, if it fails, I won't be able to get you a nice place, let alone leave the Cullinan with you."Jacob blurted out, "But why—""Don't forget—I'm still living in this house even if you're gone!" Charlie explained, his expression dead serious. "If I let you have a nice place and the Cullinan, God knows how terrible a grudge your wife would hold against me. I need to have a sense of self-preservation too!""If I got you a rundown apartment, I could at least defend myself even if she gets upset about that. I mean, I can't let you sleep in the streets, can I? Claire and I would be guilty of abandoning our elders."Seeing the serious look on Charlie's face, Jacob breathed a long sigh as he clapped him on the shoulder, groaning mournfully, "Oh, I get it. I wouldn't want to upset Elaine if I were in your shoes too…"Charlie

    Charlie sighed. "I told you it'd blow up, Dad, but you had to doubt me.""I wasn't doubting you," Jacob promptly defended himself. "I thought I might catch a lucky break—"Charlie cut him short, "Fair enough. Then, how are you going to handle this? I can try to stop Mom from going to that wedding and prevent her from getting in the hall even if she went, but what's going to happen to the both of you? Do you want a divorce or do you want to stay with her?"The light in Jacob's faded as he shrugged and sighed. "If I could divorce her, I would've—and I would be living happily with Matilda now. What company would I have if I did it now? Do you think Elaine would let me stay in Thompson First, with that attitude of hers?""In the end, I'd be chased out without a place to stay, and I can't suffer the humiliation of moving back with my mom and brother, can I? Hell, they might not even take me back!""So, that's a no?" Charlie pressed.Jacob smiled wryly. "At my age, even if I could, I w

    Hearing that Elaine was threatening suicide, Claire exclaimed urgently, "Take me to her now!"The traffic police officer quickly nodded. "Come on!"As the traffic police officer quickly led Claire to Elaine, Charlie arrived just then and gave chase after leaving the luggage by the entrance.Stopping them, he asked, "Excuse me, officer—where's the gentleman who came with Madam Parker? May I see him?""And who are you?" The traffic police officer asked."I'm his son-in-law," Charlier replied. "I was thinking that while my wife talks to her mom, I can talk to my father-in-law, make peace, and take them both home.""Oh, that'd be great!"The traffic police officer exclaimed and quickly beckoned at a colleague, "Come over. Take this gentleman to Jacob Wilson!""Okay!" The other traffic police officer was also quite enthusiastic.Charlie entered the room where Jacob was first, immediately seeing a disfigured Jacob taking deep puffs of his cigarette.Another traffic police officer w

    Charlie frowned in thought for a while, before saying, "Well, there is a plan, but I can't vouch for the chances. I also need you to cooperate with me and not let anything slip, or everything will go to waste. Can you do that?""I can!" Claire nodded, determined, before quickly asking, "So? What's the plan?""Well, it's not specific," Charlie replied. "We just have to improvise as we go along. Let's just head in for now!"-They left the airport and took a cab to the traffic police's headquarters. Just as she entered, they saw their Cullinan parked outside.Charlie sent Claire in first while he carried her luggage before following.Meanwhile, Elaine was wailing in her room, "I've been married to him for years! Suffering so much pain and humiliation, only for him to hook up with an old flame behind my back! Is it wrong if I struck out?"The traffic police officer was on the verge of a breakdown, but he still said patiently, "Ma'am, I've told you many times—what he did was wrong

    Claire wasn't all that experienced in love and hence didn't know how a person caught in a love triangle would think or why they would experience such terrible mood swings.Still, Charlie's explanation gave her a general idea, and she sighed, "Actually, Dad looked really bad when Matilda came back. He was so obsessed with her that he didn't care if Mom was alive—even bringing her home for dinner. I'd be seething if I was Mom."Charlie sighed in exasperation. "Well, let's not loiter about. Let's go to the traffic police station.""Yeah!" Claire nodded, before holding his arm, "If they're there, that means they're safe, and they won't be fighting with those officers around. So, let's not head over so quickly."Charlie raised a brow. "What are you getting at?"Claire sighed, clearly troubled. "We have to think—how are we going to alleviate this crisis? If it's really as you say and Mom has mostly guessed it right, this fight might just be the start. At best, that fight on the highway

    The traffic police officer smiled in exasperation. "Is there no getting through to you? You could even afford to drive a nice car, and you'd most likely survive an accident. But what if you were left bedridden for a long time? Yell at each other in the same hospital room?"Elaine waved him off. "I don't care—all I know is that I will always get my revenge, and on the spot if possible. If there were superheroes, I would be Wonder Woman!""Urgh…" The traffic police officer was utterly speechless. "How about this? We will call your daughter and have her come over to bail you. She will mediate your fight!"With those words, he returned Elaine's phone to her, and it happened to ring just then.It was a call from Claire.Seeing that the contact name said [Daughter], the traffic police officer quickly said, "Go on, answer it!"Elaine took it and answered the call, and Claire asked urgently before she could say a word, "Mom? Where are you? Where's Dad? Are you both alright?"Elaine sulk

    While Charlie was waiting for Claire at the airport, Jacob and Elaine were taken to the traffic police station.But even in the patrol car, Elaine did not stop lashing out at Jacob.As such, the traffic police had no choice but to call up another patrol car to bring them over separately.Charlie was hence left wondering what those two were up to this time as they were nowhere to be seen when Claire's flight was about to land and weren't answering his texts.Fortunately, Charlie never considered them reliable, so he was fine whether they showed up or not.If they did, they could all head home in the same car.If they didn't, he just had to take a cab home with Claire.It was past three when Claire's private jet landed, and Claire herself cleared the checkpoint in just half an hour, wheeling a trolley with her luggage.Seeing Charlie from afar, she couldn't help quickening her pace as she beamed.Charlie hurried toward her as well, and Claire shoved her trolley aside when they w

    However, to Jacob's shock, Elaine wasn't misled at all as she growled icily, "Why would I ask anyone else?! If there's someone I must question, it's Matilda! She's getting married, isn't she? Good! I will be there and ask her why she hooked up with my husband!"Jacob turned pale right then.Matilda's son and even some of their old classmates would be attending her wedding.If Elaine went, he would be exposed, and he wouldn't be able to stay in Aurous Hill out of shame!His nerves gnawing at him, Jacob could only plead, "Please, just trust me this once! Anything else aside, she's getting married, anyway—there's no way that I'd have anything to do with her! That alone should prove my innocence!"Elaine snorted. "If Matilda returned when I was arrested, it means she has been back for a while! And you're saying nothing happened since? Hell, even if she's married, it doesn't prove that she wasn't up to some hanky-panky with you! Maybe while I was arrested and refused a divorce when you

    The driver was left dumbstruck—this wasn't how it was supposed to go.Still, he blurted, "C-Crashing into a Cullinan? I might end up dead instead…""Fine! Then let's change cars, and you crash into ours—how about that?!" Elaine promptly retorted before continuing, "Or we could just stand right in front of your car while you run into us! I just happen to have a death wish, but if you don't kill me now, I'll kill you! Don't think about getting away either—I know your car plate! I'll sell this car and use the money to put a bounty on your head! I don't care what happens to me now! I'll claw my nails into the devil's face even if he shows up!"The driver was actually quite experienced, but even he had yet to meet someone as ridiculous as Elaine.Barely able to keep his hands steady, he threw them up as he apologized, "I'm so sorry, ma'am—I just lost my cool. I'm merely a humble driver of a Honda Civic while you own a Rolls. Hell, I spent fifty bucks buying that red emblem from Amazon,
