Everyone looked at Kenneth at this time.Kenneth felt very ashamed and annoyed, and he cursed out loud, “You are the impotent one! Your whole family is impotent! I am still very able and well!”Charlie smiled faintly before he said, “Whoever is impotent would know for themselves. Some people cannot get hard where they should and only have a hard mouth. What is the point in that?”Everyone laughed out loud at this time.Was it true? The famous and reputable Chairman Wilson had really lost his manhood?It seemed as though it was true. Otherwise, why would he try so hard to bid for a premium purple ginseng? Moreover, he was even here with Jeffrey from the Weaver family today.Everyone here today was people from the medical field. Everyone knew that the Weaver family was currently studying a new drug that could strengthen male virility and greatly restore a person’s manhood. It seemed as though the reason why Kenneth and Jeffrey were here together today was simply because Kenneth wan
”It is already written all over your face. So, how could I possibly not know?”Charlie smiled slightly before he said, “If you have encountered any difficulties, please do not hesitate to ask for my help. You can just tell me about it.”Aurora subconsciously touched her cheeks, and she could feel that her cheeks were burning hot.Even though she was originally a very brave and cool person with a cheerful personality, she would always be very shy and embarrassed in front of Charlie.After calming herself down, she spoke up seriously, “Mr. Wade, there is indeed something on my mind. I want to ask you for your help.”Charlie nodded before he said, “Okay, tell me about it.”Aurora explained, “Mr. Wade, I have a very good friend in college. She used to have a very lively, cheerful, and positive personality. However, I feel that she has been brainwashed by her boyfriend recently, and it seems as though she is doing a lot of extreme things nowadays. There was one time when she even trie
Charlie made an appointment to meet up with Aurora at the Aurous University of Finance and Economics where she was studying later in the evening. After that, he returned home with his three hundred years old purple ginseng.On the way home, Charlie called Don Albert and Isaac respectively, telling them that someone was thinking of getting their hands on the medicine in Anthony’s hands. Therefore, he asked them to send someone to protect Anthony in secret as they kept an eye on Ichiro.As Isaac had already spent many years in Aurous Hill, he had undue influence in the city. Charlie asked Isaac to set up a secret post directly at the airport to keep an eye on Ichiro so that he would not be able to leave Aurous Hill so casually.He knew that Ichiro had to be planning to take the magical pill away from Anthony so that he could bring it back to Japan with him to analyze and study its ingredients.Therefore, Charlie was planning to set a big trap for Ichiro.Meanwhile, Ichiro had comple
Charlie dragged her to the shore as he reprimanded her coldly, “Your parents are the ones who gave you your body, hair, and skin! Don’t you think that you are letting your parents down by hurting yourself just because of a scumbag?”The girl continued wailing, “Please, just let me die. Let me die now. I am just a dirty and impure person. I am too ashamed to face my parents now. I am only bringing them shame by staying alive. They will only be free when I am dead…”Charlie dragged her to the shore with ease before he finally threw her on the grass and yelled at her furiously, “D*mn it! You should not only be living for yourself, but you should also be living for your parents! They worked so hard to raise you and nurture you until you became an adult. They watched over you as you grew up, and they provided for your education. You should not be committing suicide by jumping into a lake just because of a scumbag like him! You should become a talented pillar so that you could make your pa
If the scumbag’s psychological manipulation was a stream, then Charlie’s hypnosis was the entire ocean!In an instant, Charlie’s hypnosis completely defeated the psychological manipulation that the scumbag had been giving Luna all this while.Charlie’s words were like the beacon of her life, and it would never disappear from her heart in this lifetime.Luna suddenly realized how stupid she had been all this time.When she thought about how she had almost been bewitched by that scumbag to commit suicide, she was so frightened and thankful that she immediately knelt and kowtowed in front of Charlie before saying, “Thank you for saving my life! I promise I will live well and never disappoint my parents. I will definitely contribute to society in the future!”Charlie nodded in satisfaction as he said, “Since you have already regained your senses, then I wish for you to have a happy and fulfilling life in the future.”As he continued chatting with her, Charlie suddenly thought of the
The girl dropped all her lines of defense completely when she saw how generous he was. Therefore, she was especially curious to find out more about Kian.Just then, Kian’s cell phone suddenly rang. He looked at the caller ID and found out that it was Luna who was calling him. He could not help but frown immediately.Why wasn’t this woman dead yet? How annoying!The beautiful girl saw the strange expression on his face, and she asked curiously, “Is it a phone call from your girlfriend?”“No, it’s not!” Kian hurriedly explained. “My ex-girlfriend. She cheated on me, but I do not know why she wants to keep pestering me.”After that, Kian sighed as he said, “Beauty, please wait for me. I will be back as soon as I answer this phone call.”“Alright!”Kian took his cell phone in his hand before he walked out of the bar. After answering the call, he started cursing as soon as he opened his mouth. “Why are you calling me? You are such a filthy woman! Haven’t you brought me enough insult
Sensing that he might lose his control on Luna, Kian hurried back to school in a panic, ignoring the fact that there was a beautiful prey waiting for him in the bar.Kian dashed toward the artificial lake as soon as he reached the campus and saw Luna. He strode to her and asked, “Luna, what gift do you want to give me?”Charlie appeared out of nowhere and said with a smile, “She has no gifts for you, but I do!”“Who are you?” Kian looked at Charlie in alertness and then back to Luna. “Who is he? Are you related to him?”Charlie said, “No, we’re not related.”“Who are you, then?”“I am the one who enforces justice on behalf of God!”Then, Charlie patted Luna on the back and said, “Luna, go to Aurora and your friends. Go back to your dorm and get changed, your job here is done.”Luna nodded and bowed gratefully. She had a hundred percent trust in Charlie because of what had happened earlier. Then, she walked to Aurora and her friends who were standing close by. Aurora and her f
Charlie rounded his arm and slapped him, causing Kian to stagger and fall to the ground.Kian had had an overly affectionate upbringing, and he had never even been poked before, moreover a slap. He got up and roared, “Motherf*cker! I’ll kill you!”“Kill me?” Charlie asked in a cold voice. “Listen carefully, jerk. My name is Charlie Wade! I’m the young master of Eastcliff’s Wade family, the chairman of the Emgrand Group! Now, I’ll give you a minute to think, do you think you can be so bossy and cocky in front of me?”Kian was dumbstruck!The Wade family in Eastcliff?!That was the top family in the country!Although the Webb family was slightly better than the Moore family, it was not even one-tenth of the Wade family!He had doubted whether Charlie was bluffing, but on second thought, Charlie hadn’t seemed nervous or scared when he had said his name, even daring to slap him. This meant that he must be full of confidence!This also meant that he was probably telling the truth!
If Matilda still had feelings for Jacob, his nostalgic strategy would definitely have a strong impact. However, Matilda had already decided to move on, so Jacob's suggestion did not stir any emotions in her at all. With an apologetic smile, she said, "Sorry, Jacob, Yolden is downstairs waiting for me. We have something to discuss. How about another day? We can have dinner together, and I'll treat you." Jacob didn't expect the nostalgia strategy to fall flat. His original plan was to use nostalgia to get Matilda to go with him to eat near the school, then take the opportunity to revisit old places and subtly reignite their past memories. After all, revisiting old places was the best way to rekindle old feelings, no exceptions. It was like drinking the pasta water after cooking the pasta. However, he never imagined that Matilda's expression wouldn't change in the slightest. There was no shyness, no hesitation, no nervousness, and certainly no fluttering heart. She simply and
Matilda had been listening attentively before, but now, she was lowering her head, fiddling with her phone, and her expression even carried a hint of shyness and happiness, like that of a young girl. Jacob felt a pang of jealousy. While doing the presentation, he couldn't help but resentfully think to himself, "What has Matilda been chatting about with that Yolden guy? She's so happy..." At that moment, Matilda had just received a message from Yolden. In the message, Yolden informed her of the outcome of his conversation with Charlie and expressed his desire to have the wedding as soon as possible. Seeing how eager her beloved was to marry her, Matilda naturally felt very touched. At that moment, she had completely fallen into Yolden's love. For this man, who had a similar background, education, values, and even lifestyle to her own, she could find no fault with him. She felt that he was perfectly tailor-made for her by heaven itself, almost as if everything about him perfectly m
Charlie's worries were not unfounded. He had long known that Jacob had not completely given up on Matilda despite her relationship with Yolden. After returning from the cultural exchange in Korea, Jacob had been more dejected than ever before—something he hadn't even displayed when his family had gone bankrupt. If there was still a chance to salvage the relationship when one's beloved was merely dating someone else, their marriage was tantamount to a death sentence. Furthermore, considering the high intellectual backgrounds of Matilda and Yolden as well as their age and life experience, their decision to marry at this stage of life undoubtedly signaled their intention to build a long-term future together. This left Jacob with absolutely no chance at all. At this moment, Jacob was blissfully unaware of the devastating news and was busy conducting a calligraphy and painting workshop at Senior University. The so-called workshop was essentially a few slides showcasing classic
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
