The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 4042
Ruthlessness was a merit on the premise that one wasn’t actively trying to hurt others. Many people allowed wicked villains to take advantage of them because they weren’t ruthless enough. However, eighteen-year-old Claudia was strong enough to not give her enemy any chances. Charlie said to Porter, “Porter, take this monster away. Tie the others up and bring them to the cargo hold. I want them to witness Gopher being burned to ashes.” Porter answered respectfully, “Understood, Mr. Wade. I’ll have it arranged at once.” Having said that, Porter commanded the Ten Thousand Armies soldiers to tie up the Italian organization members’ hands behind their backs with sturdy nylon cable ties. He then forced them to line up and walk to the cargo hold. A bulk carrier’s cargo hold was like a deep pit made of steel. Not only was it deeper than a ten-floor building, but the interior was also abnormally huge. Since the entire ship was basically empty, the place was quite spacious. About

He started wailing in fright. “Claudia, I’m begging you... Do it quickly! Just shoot me, please! You’ll be traumatized for the rest of your life if you choose to burn me today! You don’t want your conscience to be tortured every day, do you?!” Claudia shook her head and said firmly, “I want to move forward instead of living in hatred for the rest of my life. I’ll stop hating you once I watch you burn to ashes!” Having said that, she dug out the S. T. Dupont lighter that she had prepared for months from her pocket. Her late father had loved this type of lighter. It would make a crisp clicking sound when the cap was popped open. In the past, whenever she heard this sound, she knew that her father was smoking again, so she would nag at him for a bit. Upon her father’s passing, she had bought the same type of lighter. Whenever she missed her family, she would take out this lighter, listen to the familiar clicking sound, watch the light flicker, and reminisce the happy times she h

At that moment, Claudia seemed to be in a trance. The image of her parents and brothers smiling at her looked so realistic. Meanwhile, the raging fire of revenge was scorching her at such a close distance, and it even dried the tears that were streaming down her face. In the past, this monstrous hatred had forced her to move forward alone with heavy responsibility. Now, as her hatred disappeared along with this huge fire, she finally felt free for the first time in her life. However, compared to her, Stephanie was trembling in fright as she watched a person screaming while he was burned alive. She couldn’t help burying her face in Charlie’s arms and closing her eyes, refusing to watch. Nevertheless, Charlie patted her on the back and said gently, “Don’t be scared. This is what the world actually looks like.” Although Stephanie was an orphan, she had been taken in by the welfare institute at a very young age. Growing up, she not only had Mrs. Lewis’s care but also the prot

Charlie didn’t tell her the remainder of his thoughts. He would surely give them a chance, but instead of letting them go home to start a new life, they would have to follow the Ten Thousand Armies to the Middle East and change their ways there. Of course, his main purpose was to have them work hard. Whether or not they actually changed for the better wasn’t important to him. Subsequently, Claudia and Stephanie were escorted away from the cargo hold by a few female soldiers. The burnt Gopher remained erect in the middle of the warehouse with fumes still rising from his body. The warehouse that could hold about ten thousand tonnes worth of goods was now filled with a burnt smell. The Italian organization members, along with Andre, were all staring at Gopher’s corpse. Each of them looked horrified and afraid. Having them witness Gopher’s tragic death had deterred them a great deal. Andre even felt a heart attack approaching due to extreme fear that Charlie would do the same
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 4046
Andre couldn’t possibly hesitate or doubt Charlie after hearing this. He had watched how Gopher died from start to finish, so right now, he wanted nothing more than to live. Thus, he quickly nodded his head. “Mr. Wade, I’m willing to cooperate... I’m willing to serve Ten Thousand Armies!” Charlie nodded. “I’m giving you ten minutes. List out all the members in your organization with your subordinates. Remember, I want a list of all the members, so don’t leave out even a single name!” Andre dared not disobey, so he quickly gathered the leaders among his subordinates, and they started making a member’s list. Ten minutes later, a name list with eight hundred and seventy names was presented. After Charlie scanned through it, he said to Andre, “Now, inform the members who aren’t present here to hurry to the port at once. If you can’t contact them, put a mark beside their names.” Andre said no more. Under the surveillance of Ten Thousand Armies soldiers, he and the sub-leaders

Charlie frowned. “This Italian organization alone managed to kidnap about six girls. If a few other gangs were involved as well and each of them supplied about six girls, that would be at least twenty to thirty people. Aren’t they quite bold to allow that many people to go missing at once? Don’t they fear the investigation of the Vancouver police?”Porter nodded. “I found it strange as well at first, but after some interrogation, we found out that they have a complex relationship with the police. The targets are mostly illegal immigrants, and they would also threaten the victim’s family against making a fuss, so on the whole, the number of missing people in Vancouver looks rather average on paper.” Then, Porter added, “Also, I heard that their supplier has a much stronger background. For excellent girls such as Ms. Lewis, they would supply them to wealthy and affluent people in Europe and the United States, so some of the buyers might be hidden tycoons or aristocrats. Rather strong

Charlie was sure that many factions were involved in this sort of grey market. Their distribution chain surely covered the entire United States and Europe.Hence, he was aware that he couldn’t eliminate this chain completely.Nevertheless, since they had come across such an issue, and tonight just happened to be their agreed handover date, Charlie decided to teach them a lesson.Regardless of who the Vancouver gangs’ upstream supplier was, they would subdue the subordinates sent by this supplier and then force some useful information out of them.The next morning, the Italian organization would disappear without a trace, and the people who came to deal with them would go missing as well. This would serve as a warning for the supplier to stay away from Vancouver.At that moment, the speck of light on the horizon was getting closer.However, the other party stopped at a distance of about one mile away from the freighter.With Charlie’s exceptional sight, even from this distance, h

Charlie frowned hard. Somehow, his instincts told him that the highest-ranking VIP was probably interested in Stephanie. Just then, the communicator on the freighter sounded, and a man’s voice came through, “Vancouver 003, respond if you copy.”The Italian organization member looked at Charlie and asked nervously, “Should I... respond?”Charlie nodded. “Respond as you always do.”“Got it.”The Italian man picked up the communicator and said, “This is Vancouver 003, I copy.”The other party said, “Bring the goods to the deck and prepare for handover.”The Italian asked. “How should we handover? Should we bring them to you, or will you come over to take them?”The other party instructed, “Bring the goods to the deck first and make sure their faces aren’t covered. We will send a drone over to verify their identities. After the verification is done, we will send a speedboat for them!”The Italian got nervous. He had never experienced this handover procedure before, so upon hearin

As Ian Cash's trio turned and left Treasure Measure, Trippy was still standing there, staring blankly as they headed off to the distance, utterly dispirited.Seeing that, Raymond returned his phone and said coolly, "We had agreed on some ground rules, but not only did you break them, you even tried to sabotage me.""Since you refuse to be honorable, you can't blame me for being cold—starting now, we shall have nothing to do with each other. We'll be strangers even if we bump into each other."Trippy was already choking, and he snatched his phone back before dashing out of Treasure Measure, calling Mick Crane as soon as he left.Mick had just arrived at Vintage Deluxe and hadn't even sat down when Trippy called, and he asked as soon as he answered, "How did it go? What did you find out?"However, Trippy was so exasperated he burst into tears right then, "M-Mr. Crane… My dear Mr. Crane…"Mick was left reeling from shock, and he promptly snapped, "Can't you fucking talk? Why are you

Seeing that the transaction was complete and that the bargain deal had been taken, the other collectors all excused themselves and left.As for Ian, once he had bagged the bronze sculpture, he nodded at Raymond. "I apologize for leaving early, Mr. Cole, but I must return to Eastcliff. However, you can contact me again should you pick up another treasure. I'm quite a spendthrift, and I pay up right away if the item is good and the price is right."Raymond smiled. "Very well. I shall contact you first the next time I get something good."Ian nodded and was ready to leave with his two friends when Trippy chased after them."Please, Mr. Cash!" He cried urgently, his anxiety overcoming him. "You shouldn't buy that! It's a forgery!"Ian frowned at him. "Are you trying to sabotage Mr. Cole? Aren't you supposed to be his friend?""Hell, no!" Trippy promptly replied. "I'm no friend of his—I'm just here to watch, but I didn't think he dared to trick you for 20 million! I can't bear to see

No one except Raymond expected that the terms would be agreed upon so quickly.He was utterly confident in his judgment and even more so in his value appraisal.He was convinced that once they had a good look, any one of these collectors who could afford twenty million wouldn't miss this bargain.After all, an opportunity to secure an item worth millions more than the price they paid was very rare.In fact, when the other nine collectors heard that the first collector was buying it, it was only to be expected even if it left them all gloomy. They had all held the bronze sculpture in their hands—they knew it was definitely worth that much.However, no one in the room was more shocked than Trippy.He looked utterly flabbergasted, his eyes wide and bulging as he stared at the bronze sculpture while asking himself the same question repeatedly.Was that crap really worth twenty million? How?!While Trippy was still stunned, Raymond had already sent his payment details to the first

Unable to nitpick on the air stewardess' response, Elaine pouted, "Well, try to ask management to improve on your first-class cabins anyway. Maybe even make a premium-class or something since it's not like we can't afford it."The air stewardess quickly said, "We will definitely relay your message to the management."Nodding in satisfaction, Elaine waved her off. "Alright. You can go back to work now."Clearly relieved, the air stewardess bowed her head respectfully. "Always happy to be of service."After the air stewardess left, Jacob asked Elaine in curiosity, "Was the private jet that good?"Elaine rolled her eyes. "Didn't you see the stuff I posted in the chat group?""Not really," Jacob blurted. Elaine was ready to snap at him for not caring, but considering that they had made up now and she shouldn't fuss too much over the little things, she snorted, "Just remember to like and comment on all my posts in the chat group, otherwise, I will make you regret it!""No problem!"

While the ten collectors were taking turns studying the bronze sculpture, Jacob and Elaine were boarding their flight.As they were flying first-class, they had priority over the other passengers and boarded from the separate plug door at the first-class section.The capacity of the Boeing 777 was huge, and the wide-body aircraft could be connected to a special double corridor bridge where first class and business class passengers boarded separately from the economy class passengers.As the terminals to economy class and business class were connected, Elaine and Jacob were able to get through the first-class terminal unimpeded, but the passengers in economy class had a queue of over two hundred passengers. Even as she walked, Elaine was looking over her shoulder and exclaiming at Jacob, "Must be nice being rich! We used to have to queue like the rest of them, waiting for over thirty minutes just to board our flight." "In first class, we may be in the same plane, but we don't hav

Meanwhile, once Raymond had briefed everyone about the rules, he opened the door and invited everyone into Treasure Measure.It was not that wide but appeared spacious since the interior was mostly empty—it was not really crowded even with thirty-ish people.Then, locking the door from the inside, Raymond told them, "I can tell from everyone's faces that we are all veterans here, so I'm sure you understand the rules while appraising: no photos or videos, thank you very much."Indeed, there were many rules that governed the hobby, the most important being respecting the seller's requests and privacy.As the collectors listened, they knew that Raymond was selling but did not want the public to know too much about him.They all nodded, and those who had their phones out slid them back into their pockets.With that, Raymond took out the bronze sculpture that he had brought, leaving Trippy a little surprised.He had never seen the bronze sculpture with his own eyes before, only from

"Alright!" Trippy was at once fawning, tagging along behind Raymond like a little child.Around thirty people were waiting in front of Treasure Measure by now. The collectors came in twos or threes, and all ten numbers had since been taken.Before Raymond arrived, he had a brief look at the collectors' faces through the security cameras before walking over, and he was really relieved to see no familiar faces.Having traded Oskian antiques for years abroad, it was only natural that he was acquainted with some of the elite collectors in the country.He also knew that they were especially demanding with the quality of their collection and wanted almost flawless items. As such, the bronze sculpture which had been completely lost wouldn't interest them.Still, he was also a little concerned that amongst the elite collectors he knew, there might be some who were losing money and losing purchasing power in turn. If they happened to take an interest in the bronze sculpture on top of that,

Trippy grinned. "I mean, just look at my stall—ain't no way I'm getting any business here. Why not let me check out this item of yours? And see how interested they are? I'm really interested in learning and upping my game."Then, as if worried that Raymond would refuse, he quickly added, "Don't worry—I promise to stay in a corner and just watch."Still, Raymond could guess right then that someone must have sent Trippy to spy on him.It didn't matter whether it was Mick, Jacob, or Zachary either—they were all in this plot together, and one knowing meant all three knowing.Trippy was a gossiper in nature. If he was allowed to witness the whole process, everyone down Antique Street would definitely know before long.In fact, he could use someone like that right now, and Trippy had come straight to his doorstep.With that in mind, Raymond smiled, "Come join me if you're interested. It's not like there's anything to hide…"Pausing, he then warned Trippy, "But since you're going in my

After watching Mick's video, Jasmine's opinion of the man improved considerably.She was actually well aware that the decline of Vintage Deluxe was mostly due to Mick's incompetence.However, as Jasmine was now managing a billion-dollar company, she couldn't spare any time to ask many questions about Vintage Deluxe's performance. In her opinion, as long as Vintage Deluxe didn't lose too much money or ruin the reputation they had worked so hard to build, she wasn't interested in a regime change.It was the same mindset as Marianne Long, who begged her father to keep that lane full of food stalls in Hong Kong over sentiment.As such, seeing that Mick actually had some skill pleased her considerably.She couldn't resist checking out the comments of the video too.She saw that many were praising the manager of Vintage Deluxe for taking a tough stand against the scammer as well as how Vintage Deluxe's reputation was long-standing and without comparison.She soon noticed Jacob's comme
