Everyone knew that the urinals in the men’s washroom were disgusting, but licking it wouldn’t be fatal.But if you drank five kilos of perfume, you would definitely die!Jeffrey and Wendy were very arrogant, but this was a matter of life and death. So what if they licked a urinal? It wasn’t a big deal, they could just rinse their mouth and brush their teeth a few times!Since they had chosen the urinal-licking punishment, Oscar ordered, “Boys, drag them to the men’s washroom now!”The security guards dragged Jeffrey and Wendy to the men’s washroom on the second floor like they were dragging two dead dogs. Oscar asked Charlie, “Master Wade, would you like to oversee it?”Charlie nodded. “Of course! How can I miss such an interesting thing?”Oscar escorted Charlie to the washroom.The guards pushed Jeffrey and Wendy to one of the urinals and said coldly, “Go on, what the hell are you waiting for?”Jeffrey trembled with fright at the hoarse voice, but he didn’t dare to inch forw
“Oh, you can’t stand it?” Charlie chuckled and said to Oscar, “Call Albert and take these two to his dog-fighting ring. Chop them up and feed the dogs like what we did to Mr. Lannerd!”Oscar nodded immediately. “Yes, Master Wade!”The other day, the fraudulent Feng Shui master from Hong Kong, Mr. Lannerd, was exposed because he had deceived Miss Moore and was thrown into the dog-fighting ring by Albert.Albert was quite an expert in doing this kind of thing. He was already familiar with it.Jeffrey and Wendy were frightened by Charlie’s threat. There was no room for them to bargain, they had to accept their fate.Jeffrey blurted for the sake of his life, “Okay, I’ll do it! I’ll do it!”Then, he instantly rushed towards the urinal.Wendy wailed, her tears flowing down her cheeks like rivers.This was the worst humiliation she had suffered in her life and it was also the worst torment…Charlie didn’t want to stay here to watch their licking skill, he said to Oscar, “Remember, yo
Charlie entered the elevator and went to the top floor, the 18th floor. He found Jasmine and told her his overall opinion about the Feng Shui of the club.Jasmine was a little disappointed when she heard that the Feng Shui was unremarkable and blunt. It seemed that the Feng Shui master she hired previously was not very great at his job.She asked anxiously, “Master Wade, do you have any idea on how to improve the club’s aura?”Charlie smiled faintly. “Have someone planted two pine trees on the first floor, placed in the southeast and northwest corners facing each other. Then, replace the two stone pillars at the main door with stone lions, not a male and a female, and definitely not a lioness and a cub. It must be two male lions, and you must not place them in parallel. Their eyes must be at a 90-degree angle. Have someone make two gold foils and press them under the stone lion. By doing this, you can form an auspicious configuration of two lions gathering wealth.”Jasmine asked re
On second thought, nope, she got what she deserved!Wendy was the femme fatale with a heart as malicious as snakes and scorpions! There were so many occasions where she had instigated others to insult him and she had even wanted to rob his manhood! If it wasn’t for his connections and ability, he would have died from her schemes.So, he merely gave her a lesson that she would never forget for the rest of her life!Charlie said to Oscar, “I’m leaving now, Miss Moore is waiting for me downstairs. Supervise them carefully. If I find out that you’ve let them off the hook easily, I’ll hunt you down!”Oscar bowed frightfully. “Don’t worry, Master Wade, I’ll keep my eyes on them at all times! I won’t spare them!”“Okay.” Charlie nodded and turned away.After he left, Wendy and Jeffrey increased their speed and licked the disgusting urinal faster in fear of being punished for their slowness.When they finally finished licking the right urinals, their tongues had almost detached from the
In her Rolls-Royce, Jasmine sent Charlie all the way to the supermarket.Soon, the majestic Rolls-Royce stopped in front of the supermarket. Charlie said to Jasmine as he exited the car, “Thanks for the ride. Bye.”Jasmine nodded at him, her expression complex and ambiguous. “Have a nice day, Master Wade. You’re always welcome at Glorious Club, please come to enjoy the facilities whenever you’re available, I’ll always be there and will personally serve you myself.”Charlie smiled lightly and replied, “Okay, I’ll drop by when I’m free. Bye.”Jasmine nodded. “Okay, Master Wade, bye.”She bid farewell to Charlie respectfully. As she watched him disappear into the crowded supermarket, she sighed, crestfallen.She felt very unjust and disappointed when Charlie, the true dragon with superb strength, had to rush to the supermarket to buy ingredients to make dinner before his wife got off work.She had met Claire before. Indeed, Claire was very beautiful and elegant as she did, but Clai
After getting home and finished making dinner, Jacob, who had been out all day, came home first, then followed by Claire who had been busy at work the whole day.After all the food was served on the table, Elaine hurried back happily and said proudly, “Hey guys, I won more than seven grand from playing cards today!”Jacob gasped reflexively, “Wow, dear, that’s awesome! Seven grand a day, that’s two hundred and ten grand a month!”Claire frowned, displeased. “Mom, I don’t mind if you play cards occasionally in your leisure time and a little winning is understandable too, but seven grand a day? Isn’t that a bit too much? Careful not to get addicted, it’s very risky!”Elaine waved her hand in disdain and snapped, “Hey, I know what I’m doing, don’t you come to lecture me about it. My card mates are a bunch of rookies, they are far worse than me. I can win even with my eyes closed! Don’t you know your mom’s nickname around here? The Queen of Cards, that’s me!”Claire sighed helplessly
Honestly, Charlie didn’t want to go. In fact, he would even reject Claire’s offer if it wasn’t for Elaine meddling between them like that.The reason why he didn’t want to go was that he was rather repulsed by Loreen right now.Ever since Loreen found out that he was her life savior and her dream lover after he rescued her for the second time, she had been confessing to him repeatedly.Now that she asked his wife to the hot springs and insisted on inviting him, his wife might be the cover for her real intention of wanting to see him.It would be very awkward and unpleasant if he did go.However, he was irritated and annoyed by Elaine’s babbling and nagging.‘You don’t want me to go, huh? I will go then! Bite me!’Elaine didn’t expect Charlie to disobey her. She was panting and huffing with anger, but she couldn’t say anything in front of Claire.Since Charlie had agreed to go, Claire said, “Loreen booked rooms at Champs Elys Spa Resort in the suburbs, it is said to be the prope
Before going out, Charlie was still a little hesitant and reluctant.He didn’t know how to deal with a passionate and bold girl like Loreen. He didn’t want to hurt her feelings and more importantly, he didn’t want to betray Claire.He was in a complete dilemma right now.He was worried that Loreen would confess to him again during the hot springs getaway and she might make an even bolder move too.On the other hand, since he had promised his wife, it was impossible to retract his promise, so he could only go ahead with the plan.As they went downstairs, they saw Loreen poking her head out of a Mercedes-Benz and saying, “Charlie, put the luggage in the trunk and sit in the back. Let Claire sit in the front and chat with me on the way!”“Okay!” Charlie nodded, put the luggage in the trunk, and squeezed into the back seat.When he sat down, Loreen turned and winked at him shyly.Pretending not to see it, Charlie stretched himself and said, “Oh, I’m so tired. I didn’t sleep well la
After that, Charlie asked with a bit of curiosity, "When did you and Matilda decide to get married?" Yolden smiled sheepishly and explained, "Remember when the city organized our cultural exchange trip to South Korea? I confessed to Matilda during that trip, and she accepted. After spending some time together, we both felt we were a great match. Considering our age, we didn't want to delay such an important decision any longer, so we decided to take the next step and build a family together." He continued, "Last month, we went to Lambonear for a few days. I bought a ring and proposed to her by the seaside, and she said yes. We also sought the opinion of our respective children—Autumn and Paul—and they were both very supportive. Both kids are exceptional and independent, so they urged us to have the wedding as soon as possible. I wanted to wait until you returned so I could check your schedule. For our wedding, we'd like to ask you to be our officiant." "What? Me as the officiant?
Charlie said without hesitation, "Sure. When is it convenient for you? Send me the address, and I'll go meet you." Charlie had always respected Yolden not only because he was a nice and talented man but also because he and his mother went way back and went to the same school. Yolden said hastily, "I've just come from Senior University. It's the weekend, and I don't have classes today. Why don't you send me the address and I'll meet you?" Charlie gave it some thought. It was a little past 3 p.m., so Yolden had likely already had lunch, and there were still a few hours until dinner. Inviting him to The Heaven Springs didn't seem ideal for a discussion. Considering that he had lived in the United States for many years and probably had a habit of having coffee in the afternoon, Charlie said, "How about this? There's a Starbucks not far south of the university. Let's meet there for a cup of coffee." "Perfect!" Yolden said with a smile. "I was just thinking you could give me an addre
On the way back to The Heaven Springs, Julien was in a much better mood than when he had arrived. Initially, he was filled with anxiety, unsure of what Charlie had planned. But now, everything had become clear. The troublesome matter of Salem and Edmund was no longer his concern. All he had to do was wait for the video from the ship to be released and then head back home. Charlie noticed his improved mood and smiled as he asked, "Julien, you've resolved the most critical matter right after landing in Aurous Hill. You must be feeling pretty happy, right?" Julien chuckled and said, "To be honest, before coming here, I was worried that I'd end up going back empty-handed and being secretly mocked by others. But now, it's different. Once your video is released, no one can blame me for not doing my job. If anything, they can only blame their family for missing their chance. After all, so much time has passed, and it's their fault Salem and Edmund were moved to the Middle East." As he
"Good." With a light nod, Charlie turned to Jiro and spoke up, "Jiro, I'll give you a chance to prove yourself." "Okay, Mr. Wade!" Jiro beamed excitedly. "Please tell me what to do! I promise I will do my best to serve you." Charlie smiled and said, "Once the ship is ready, you'll board it together with them. Your only task is to keep a close watch on them the entire time. Don't let them pull any tricks. If you succeed, you'll be a free man here. You'll get a basic monthly salary and can ask for anything you like within reason—so long as it's not contraband, it will be yours." Hearing this, Jiro was so thrilled that he trembled all over. His current treatment was already decent, but he was still only a semi-free man. He didn't dare casually set foot on the ground outside. If he could become a truly free man, he would be able to enjoy the sunlight outdoors freely. More importantly, from then on, he would have a salary. Although he couldn't personally go out shopping, having a sa
Julien had uncovered Charlie's true identity quite some time ago and investigated Charlie's background. He was well aware that Charlie had become the head of the Wade family and that the Acker family fully supported him. Although the outside world believed that Ten Thousand Armies had subdued the Wade family, Julien had witnessed Charlie's methods firsthand. Even the top two figures of the Rothschild family had been toyed with by Charlie, so how could Ten Thousand Armies possibly make him surrender? Thus, Julien deduced that Ten Thousand Armies was undoubtedly Charlie's covert tool. Considering the combined strength of the Wade family, the Acker family, and Charlie's personally cultivated forces, it was evident that Charlie even had the power to contend with the entire Rothschild family. Moreover, with the life-extending pill in his possession and the life of the Rothschild family head in his hands, Charlie's chances of prevailing in a confrontation against the Rothschilds were e
Enraged, Julien cursed while angrily raising his leg, "Damn it! How dare you negotiate your terms now?!" Charlie stopped him and said, "Calm down. 1 billion dollars is quite a good amount. You offer 100 million, he offers 1 billion—doesn't that mean I'll make 1.1 billion?" Dumbfounded, Julien said, "Mr. Wade, how can you even take that money? Wouldn't taking the money expose you?" Charlie smiled and said, "That's simple. I'll give you a plan that not only makes your task impossible to complete but also gives me a chance to collect the money. What do you think?" "What's the idea?" Julien asked in surprise. Charlie replied, "Here's the plan, I'll have someone put these two on a cargo ship bound for the Middle East. Once the ship passes Sri Lanka and enters the Arabian Sea, I'll have them record a video with the endless ocean as the backdrop. In the video, they'll inform their family to prepare 1 billion dollars. The money will be transferred directly in cryptocurrency." "Once
Salem cursed angrily, "You bastard! We've been desperately waiting for you to rescue us, but now you want to kill us! Are you even human?!" Julien kicked Salem far away and shouted furiously, "Damn it! You should be glad this is Oskia and not America! Otherwise, I would have shot you dead on the spot, you bastard! And your son too!" Then, Julien looked at Charlie very seriously and said, "Mr. Wade, please give me a chance! Give me a gun, and I'll take care of these two scumbags right now!" Edmund and Salem, terrified, knelt on the ground, with Edmund desperately pleading, "Mr. Wade, please spare us! Please!" Salem crawled to Charlie and wailed, "Mr. Wade, please don't believe anything Julien says! If you let him kill us, it will cause you unnecessary trouble. Just pretend that nothing happened today and let us continue to be imprisoned here!" Charlie grinned as he watched the scene and said to Julien, "If you want to kill them, go ahead, I won't stop you, but you can't take t
Salem was stunned by Julien's slap. He covered his face, looked at Julien in shock and sorrow, and sobbed, "But... but I'm older than you... I was given that middle name first." Instead of calming down, Julien became even angrier. He slapped Salem again and furiously scolded, "When your damn father found out my middle name was also Steve, why didn't he change yours? Acting above your station—who gave you the guts?!" Salem's face was swollen on both sides, and his heart was filled with even greater indignation. Crying, he pleaded, "Sir, now isn't the time to blame me for sharing your middle name! You need to figure out a way to get my son and me out of here!" "Get you out?!" Julien laughed in exasperation, pointing at him with rage. "Your wretched son committed such heinous crimes, yet you still expect me to save you? I'd rather kill you both myself to ease Mr. Wade's anger!" Julien's words were not idle talk. For him, the task in Aurous Hill had only two possible outcomes:
Charlie warned with a cold and stern voice, "You must tell him everything you did, or I will make you eat dog food for a month." Trembling in fear, Salem quickly said, "O-okay... This is what happened... My son, he was momentarily misguided..." As he spoke, he detailed how Edmund had become infatuated with Doris and the Emgrand Group. He went on to describe how Edmund had poisoned Doris's father, leaving him in critical condition with kidney failure and then used the promise of a kidney transplant to coerce Doris into submission. Since Charlie was standing right there, Salem didn't dare to omit or conceal a single detail. When he finished, Charlie sneered, "You really are a shameless piece of trash. You just described your son's series of despicable actions in meticulous detail. The careful planning and the step-by-step execution—this clearly shows that it was premeditated and deliberate. Yet, from the start, you tried to excuse him by calling it a momentary lapse in judgment.
