Andre hurriedly took the thick stack of documents Charlie threw at him and carefully flipped through it.After reading a few pages, the corners of his mouth curled into a delighted grin. His flattering expression from before returned as he looked at Charlie with an oily smile. “Why, Mr. Wade! You really are an extraordinary man! You’re even doing business in Vancouver. This cargo ship is secondhand, but it still costs twenty million US dollars. That’s not cheap!” Charlie was indifferent. “It’s only a fifteen thousand ton cargo ship. It’s nothing!”Then, Charlie growled impatiently, “Stop spewing nonsense. How much money can this cargo ship be offset for? Give me a number.”Andre was actively brainstorming the best outcome.His gang often transported contraband in and out of Canada by sea. Due to their lack of financial strength and resources, they didn’t have their own cargo ship. Thus, they were always borrowing cargo ships from other parties to transport their goods. As the

“Never mind.” Charlie pointed at the stack of documents relating to the cargo ship, which was lying in front of Andre. He hissed through gritted teeth, “That cargo ship will be yours if I can’t turn things around tonight!”Andre laughed and said excitedly, “Okay! Mr. Wade, you really are easygoing! I guess I’ll play a few more rounds with you!”Having said that, Andre immediately instructed Gopher, “Get Mr. Wade another two million chips!” Gopher ran out without hesitation and returned with a tray of chips a minute later. This time, Charlie set a new record for the speed at which he lost money.It took him only twenty minutes to lose two million Canadian dollars. The bunny girl next to him had never seen anything like it, and was completely stunned.She wasn’t a professional in the casino, and she had never witnessed such a big gambling game. Andre’s body was now trembling in excitement. Despite having been in this field for so long, he’d never make money this quickly. Ever

“What?!”At Charlie’s words, Andre instantly stood up and blurted out, “Are you sure it’s going back to Oskia that early?”Charlie said, “The reason I bought this cargo ship was to bring it back to Oskia. I can’t possibly leave it parked at the Vancouver dock after buying it, right?”Having said that, Charlie asked casually, “Do you want me to make a phone call and ask the captain not to set sail for the time being?”How could Andre possibly dare to allow Charlie make a phone call at this time? If Charlie happened to request the other party to contact the police, things would undoubtedly be very difficult for Andre to deal with. After all, Charlie was a foreigner. He was not a stowaway, nor was he an illegal immigrant. Andre pocketed so much money from Charlie that if the police got involved, everything would turn into a mess too big for him to handle. Moreover, the Oskian embassies have always attached great importance to the safety and rights of their citizens. If the embas

There were more than ten masked men inside all four cars, and they were all members of the Italian gang under Andre’s command. Two unconscious young women were stuffed inside the trunk, both bound and gagged, with black gunny sacks pulled over their heads. These unfortunate women were the gang’s targets, and it seemed Stephanie was the last one to complete the collection. Following the plan, they would drive to the pier immediately after acquiring Stephanie. They would meet the rest of the gang there, and then ship the kidnapped women to the high seas.The window of the passenger side of the car at the very front was soon lowered, and out popped the head of a masked man. He shone a special violet flashlight at Mrs. Lewis’ house. Sure enough, his gang’s markings could be seen on the pillar by the door. Having confirmed this, he closed the window and whispered in the intercom, “Sam, drive around to the back door. We’ll go in at the same time. Make it quick!”A voice replied to him

At this, they almost collapsed in fright.Since these men in black could deal with their colleagues without making a sound, it proved that the men’s strength was beyond their level.They knew they were next. There was no way for them to escape their doom!As they stood petrified, several more men in black came in, carrying more of their unconscious colleagues. “Sir, we found some drivers in the cars outside. There are two unconscious women already hidden in the trunk.”Now, even their getaway drivers were caught! They broke into cold sweat, shivering upon the realization that they were done for. Porter, dressed in the same black combat uniform as his subordinates, approached them and demanded in an icy tone that allowed no rebuttal, “Who’s your leader?” The thugs were too scared to speak. All they could think of was how to find a way out of this mess.Porter grew impatient when the thugs refused to speak. Without wasting a second longer, he grabbed the nearest one and strangle

The needle was thin and much shorter than those in normal syringes used for blood collection. Under normal circumstances, it shouldn’t hurt too if a needle as short as this pricked one’s skin. Yet, the leader was met with an entirely different sensation. Just as the tip of the needle plunged into his flesh, terrible pain shook him to the core.Porter said calmly, “There’s a little bit of liquid at the tip of the needle. You should already be feeling some of its effects. But you see, the liquid at the tip of this needle is just about a thousandth of the total amount of the medicine. Imagine how you’ll feel after I inject the entire contents of the syringe into your body. I’ll tell you: every time you breathe, it’ll be as painful as sucking in a pile of broken glass into your trachea!”The man was horrified. He immediately shouted, “Don’t! Please don’t! I’ll talk! I’ll tell you… I’ll tell you everything!”…Ten minutes later… Several black cars stopped in front of Mrs. Lewis’s hous

The Vancouver port was as busy during the night as it was during the day.Large-scale ports basically operated twenty-four hours a day. Despite the late hour, the lights were still on. A large number of trucks transporting containers kept going in and out, and the dock was constantly loading and unloading cargo to docked ships.Therefore, the sight of many cars entering the pier one after the other didn’t raise any alarm.Porter arrived at the port first, under the guidance of the Italian gang members he had subdued. He and his soldiers brought the gang members to a small, dilapidated cargo ship at the dock.There were eight members of the Italian gang on the cargo ship, as well as three young women whom the gang had kidnapped. In addition to the two women that Porter brought with him, there were a total of five young women at present. They were all kidnapped by the gang, ready to be sent to the high seas tonight.Porter conducted a surprise interrogation on the gang on the old

Charlie pretended to walk out of the car resentfully, looking very aggrieved. In truth, he was delighted. To think it would be so easy to fool Andre! He was pleased.He simply threw the bait in front of Andre. The fish went beyond his expectations and actually took the initiative to bite the hook before he even had time to properly entice it. The fish also brought all of his lackeys together with him to bite the hook. This feeling of a one-shot explosion was amazing.The entire fishing process went very smoothly at every step. Everything was within Charlie’s control. Just then, two to three hundred men came out of their cars. They too grew excited when they saw the large cargo ship. A few shouted eagerly, “Boss! Since this cargo ship is ours, we have to take it to the high seas and have a huge party on deck to celebrate!”Everyone approved this proposal immediately and cheered in delight.Another person added, “We have to get more hot girls too! And we should get a DJ to

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
