Chapter 4010

ผู้เขียน: Lord Leaf
When Charlie, Stephanie, and Claudia followed Gopher, they realized that there was another hidden room downstairs.

A large hall hosting about one hundred and fifty to sixty square meters entered their vision, filled with all types of gambling tables.

A dealer stood at every gambling table. Yet, some tables had less customers than the others.

It only took Charlie one glance to know that business was terrible. Half of the gambling tables had no customers. Some tables had only one player, and other tables had at most three to five players. Suffice to say, it made for a rather dull mood.

Charlie frowned and grumbled in a disappointed tone, “Your establishment has very few customers. Why is that?”

His question embarrassed Gopher, who was unsure how to reply.

Business was getting worse and worse recently, with fewer customers frequenting the establishment.

However, he couldn’t possibly reveal this to Charlie. He plastered a cheery grin and said offhandedly, “We came early. Many of

    Very soon, Gopher diligently brought a tray of colorful chips to Charlie.The value of the chips started from one hundred Canadian dollars, and it went up to five hundred and one thousand dollars. He handed the chips over to Charlie with an oily smile. “Here, your chips!” Charlie nodded and waved his hand without a care, saying indifferently, “You hold it.”“I…” Gopher was stunned. Once again, anger boiled in him. Charlie took five one-thousand-dollar chips and stuffed them into Gopher’s pocket, saying casually, “Don’t worry, I won’t let you work in vain.”Gopher’s anger vanished as a stunned expression colored his face. He immediately assumed Charlie to be an avid gambler who had been around casinos all year round. In fact, Charlie was so generous that he was already giving Gopher a tip of five thousand Canadian dollars! Gopher hurriedly put on a flattering grin and said, “Oh! Thank you so much, Mr. Wade!”He started treating Charlie with utmost politeness, to the point of

    Charlie won again in the second round.After winning two hands in a row, his mood seemed to have skyrocketed. He threw a large handful of one-hundred-dollar chips to Gopher and said, “Change them all into a thousand. A hundred is much too little.”Gopher nodded eagerly and handed the order to a passing waiter.Charlie casually counted his chips before throwing in ten thousand dollars with a small smile. “I want to beat the dealer three times in a row tonight!”Seeing that Charlie was full of confidence and wanted to take advantage of the situation, Gopher immediately winked at the dealer.This round, neither Charlie nor the dealer had a big hand. The dealer was only one point larger than Charlie. So, the dealer won Charlie’s chips and paid out to the other two players. However, the other players’ bets were miniscule in amount. One was a hundred, and the other was two hundred. Thus, the dealer took back all of his previous losses and even made a profit.Unbeknownst to the deal

    Gopher was over the moon. He took the money and made a beeline for the counter, all too happy to exchange them for chips. This time, he didn’t get chips of a hundred for Charlie. The smallest value of the chips started from a thousand, and then to two thousand, five thousand and ten thousand.When Gopher returned with the chips, he placed them respectfully in front of Charlie and said politely, “Mr. Wade, your chips. You can count them.”“No need.” Charlie didn’t even bother to look at them. He took out a chip worth ten thousand Canadian dollars and threw it at Gopher with an indifferent drawl, “This is for you.”“Oh! Thank you, Mr. Wade. You’re so generous!”Gopher was flattered. Gratitude filled his heart as he kept thanking Charlie, joy spreading throughout all of his body. Charlie ignored him, took another ten-thousand-dollar chip, and placed it on the table as he knocked on the table top. He turned to the dealer and said, “Come on. Deal the cards.”The dealer nodded befo

    Charlie then instructed Gopher, “Send us back.”Gopher was now a diligent lackey. He said eagerly, “This way please, Mr. Wade!”After leaving the casino, Gopher drove the three back to Mrs. Lewis’ house.They had only gone out for two hours, mainly because Charlie had lost all his money so quickly.Before getting out of the car, Gopher said to Charlie respectfully, “Have a good rest tonight, Mr. Wade. I’ll come and pick you up again tomorrow night!”After saying that, he hurriedly added, “By the way, Mr. Wade. Will it be convenient for you to leave me your contact information? I’ll contact you in advance tomorrow night.”“No need,” Charlie said casually. “You can just call Claudia at that time.”Gopher nodded. “That’s fine. I’ll call Claudia tomorrow.”Charlie let out a small hum as he pushed the car door open. He got out and entered the villa together with the company of the two girls. Gopher watched as Charlie’s back disappeared. A smug grin danced on his lips and he let ou

    Charlie knew that at this moment, Gopher would be filled with the thoughts of the two million Canadian dollars he had promised tomorrow. Thus, Gopher wouldn’t care about kidnapping Stephanie for the time being. Things happened the way he had predicted, and the night passed safely and soundly without a single hiccup. When Charlie woke up that morning, he received a phone call from Porter. Porter said respectfully, “Mr. Wade. I and three hundred of my subordinates from Ten Thousand Armies have already arrived in Vancouver. We’re ready to be at your disposal at any time!”Charlie was startled. “Porter? Why are you here?”Porter replied quickly, “There’s nothing important in the Middle East for the time being. I know you’re in urgent need of manpower, so I personally brought these men here.”As Porter spoke, he then asked, “Mr. Wade, feel free to give us your orders if you have any. We’ll do our best to carry them out!”Charlie said, “You should find a place to settle down first

    Later, they went down for breakfast. There, Stephanie suggested, “Brother Charlie, why don’t we just close the convenience store today? The three of us will take you around Vancouver together!”Charlie laughed. “Sorry, Stephanie. I have some business to take care of later.”Mrs. Lewis was curious. “Charlie, do you have other things to do in Vancouver?”Charlie replied with a warm smile, “Mrs. Lewis, the Wade family’s ocean shipping company happens to be looking at a cargo ship in Vancouver. Since I’m here, I’ll take a look at the port and go through the transaction procedures at the same time.”Mrs. Lewis didn’t doubt his words. “The port’s not that far from here. Let Stephanie send you there.” Charlie rejected her offer gently. “No need, Mrs. Lewis. I can just take a taxi there myself.”He turned to Stephanie and said, “Stephanie, you should just go to the convenience store as usual. I’ll drop by the store after I’m done.”At his words, Stephanie nodded and stopped insisting.

    Soon, day turned into night and the sky darkened. After dinner, Gopher took his boss’s Rolls-Royce and drove diligently to Mrs. Lewis’s house. There, he waited diligently for Charlie to appear. Charlie came out of the villa alone, carrying a huge sports bag over his shoulder.The bag was filled with two million Canadian dollars that he had just cashed out earlier that day, in addition to the materials for the cargo ship that he just bought.Upon seeing Charlie, Gopher’s eyes lit up immediately. The thought of money was pushing him into cloud nine. Eager, he leapt out of the car and opened the door to the passenger’s seat for Charlie in advance. When Charlie reached him, greeted respectfully, “Please get in the car, Mr. Wade!”Charlie nodded, not saying anything. He was about to put the bag into the car when Gopher quickly stretched out his hands and offered with an enthusiastic grin, “Let me help you put the bag in, Mr. Wade. I insist!”Charlie did not refuse, and watched quietly

    Charlie smiled in return and said casually, “Thank you for your kindness, Andre. I came to Vancouver for a personal errand, but I’d be happy to play a couple of games with you. There’s probably nothing that I’ll need to trouble you with.”Charlie raised his brow and let out an easy laugh. “But if you have the opportunity to visit Oskia in future, you can contact me if you encounter any trouble. Do pay attention, I’m talking about the whole Oskia. My influence isn’t just limited to a certain city. I’m quite renowned in that country.”Andre felt a little annoyed after hearing this. The implication behind Charlie’s words was clear as day. Charlie had a powerful influence in an entire country, compared to Andre, who only had a tiny fraction of power limited to just a small city. Andre knew it was a clear jab on him. Charlie was making it clear that he thought little of Andre. The realization gave rise to a small burst of anger. Andre was seething.He was a merciless character who

    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

    Later, after Charlie told Jeremiah over the phone about the joint venture with the Ackers to establish Curtis Autos, the old man was awash with tears, especially after Charlie told him that it was Keith who suggested it. After all, Curtis was his favorite son whose death he could never really get over. Moreover, he once believed that only his family mourned Curtis while the Ackers never did, and he held a grudge over his son's passing. As such, he was surprised that Keith held such great respect toward his late son and didn't hesitate to say yes when Charlie invited him to Aurous Hill to sign an agreement with the Ackers.Still, Charlie wasn't in a hurry to arrange for a specific time, and he was going to let the Ackers sort out the human resources of Godot Autos over a few days. It still wouldn't be too late by then.Moreover, he was keen to allow the buzz to have time to grow so that the automotive industry would be astounded by the joint project between the Ackers and the Wade

    Christian was the first to exclaim in approval, "Yes! Curtis Autos sounds wonderful! It has my vote!""Seconded!" Kaiden nodded, pumping the air with his right fist. "I've looked up to Curtis the most, and I absolutely agree with naming the company after him!"Jaxson was nodding too. "Me too!""Yes!" Lulu chirped.Yolden couldn't help agreeing as well. "Curtis Autos is definitely a good name!"Merlin raised his hand gingerly as well. "Quit it with your flattery already," Keith chuckled, and he turned toward Charlie solemnly. "In the end, Curtis is Charlie's father, and the final decision goes to him!"Charlie's eyes were welling up with tears—his parents had been gone for almost three decades, yet he had never thought of dedicating anything to their memory.As such, Keith's suggestion to use Curtis's name for the car company left him thrilled. After all, wouldn't his father's soul be honored if Curtis Autos rocked the country, maybe even the world?With that in mind, he nodd

    Charlie also had to agree that this was an opportunity to formally reconcile the Wades and the Ackers.While he couldn't reveal himself just yet, the Wades and the Ackers had been in-laws for years. Even if they had had a dispute for the longest time, restoring good relations made sense now that the Ackers had come to Oskia, and it wouldn't arouse any suspicion.That was why Charlie agreed to it without hesitation, even making a mental note to invite his paternal grandfather, Jeremiah, to Aurous Hill.The old geezers could meet up and clear the air while deciding on the partnership.Yolden was prepared to resign as a professor as well so that he could help the Ackers and Charlie fully develop their automotive company.With a general direction planned, he asked everyone, "Since we're creating a new brand, has anyone come up with a name?"No one was feeling inspired at that moment, but that was when Lulu, who had been silent throughout, said, "Since Charlie and our family are worki
