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

Charlie’s arrival delighted Mrs. Lewis, putting her in a joyful mood.She told Stephanie to close the store early. Then, she took Charlie, Stephanie, and Claudia to the market with her to buy ingredients for dinner. Mrs. Lewis bought ingredients for all the dishes she was proficient at making, claiming that she would make a most sumptuous dinner to welcome Charlie. Charlie helped carry the ingredients into the car after their shopping trip ended. Then, they went to Mrs. Lewis’ home in Vancouver. Stephanie was the one who drove.After she started living in Canada, she got her driver’s license and bought a secondhand Chevrolet sedan to drive Mrs. Lewis and Claudia back and forth home and Oskiatown daily. Charlie didn’t expect Stephanie to buy such a low-end secondhand car. Curious, he asked, “Stephanie, why don’t you buy a better car?”Stephanie replied with a smile, “A car’s just a means of transportation. There’s no need to buy something so expensive. Used cars and their insur

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
