Charlie’s words made Yahiko feel that it would not be good for him to be so wishy-washy all the time either, so he said without hesitation, “If I am really asked to make a wish related to myself, I would wish for my two legs to come back again. Unfortunately...”“Okay.” Charlie reached out his hand to interrupt him and then said with a smile, “The logic of making a wish is that you can say whatever you want, but whether your wish will come true or not should not be your concern.”Yahiko was slightly startled, and he smiled in a self-deprecating manner before he then nodded and said, “You’re right, Mr. Wade. Whether it can be realized or not depends on God.”Charlie waved his hand and said indifferently, “God may not even be able to handle this kind of thing.”“Well...” Yahiko did not know whether to laugh or cry as he thought to himself, ‘You’re the one who asked me to make a wish, saying that I didn’t have to worry about whether my wish can be fulfilled or not, but you’re also the
As soon as Yahiko took the pill, he felt a little groggy, almost as if he had been given general anesthesia before surgery, and he lost consciousness almost instantly. The reason why he lost consciousness was also entirely due to the medicinal properties of the Regenerating Pill.According to the records in the Apocalyptic Book, when the Regenerating Pill reshapes the body, it would bring great pain and stimulation to the person taking the pill. What’s more, the pain from the Regenerating Pill was even more intense than the pain from modern medical surgery when it cut the human body open.Therefore, the medicinal properties of the Regenerating Pill actually made a person lose consciousness first before exerting its true medicinal properties.This principle was the same as the logic of anesthesia before surgery in modern medicine.After Yahiko had fallen unconscious, his entire body was completely unconscious, but Charlie could feel the vigorous Reiki in his body gathering toward
Nanako did not know as much as Rosalie did.She had never witnessed the miracle that had happened to Merlin, so she still had not figured out why Charlie had asked her to bring her father and Hiroshi to New York.When she saw Charlie coming out at this time, Nanako quickly asked, “Charlie-kun, how are Otou-san and Tanaka-san doing?”Charlie smiled slightly and said, “The two of them have just taken the pill, and they are both asleep now. They will wake up in about twenty minutes.”Nanako nodded and asked cautiously, “Charlie-kun, can I ask what exactly is the purpose of the pill that you gave them?”Charlie said with a smile, “The two of them will come out in twenty minutes at most. You might as well wait and see what the purpose of the pill is for yourself when they come out later.”“Okay...” When Nanako saw that Charlie did not want to reveal anything, she nodded slightly and said with a smile, “Charlie-kun has excellent medical skills. When I was seriously injured last time an
At that moment, he knew that whatever remarkable thing Charlie did was only natural.So, he was not surprised at all, and he lit a cigarette leisurely as he looked at Hiroshi, who was unconscious. After that, he puffed his cigarette hesitantly as he muttered in a low voice, “Hey, you’re really a very lucky Japanese guy. You f*cking had both legs amputated but now, there is a chance for your legs to grow back all thanks to Master Wade. You wouldn’t have such good luck if it wasn’t for Miss Nanako.”Having said that, he blew a puff of cigarette on Hiroshi’s face and then grinned as he said, “You should know that Master Wade has never been very friendly to Japanese people, and the Kobayashi brothers have been taking turns to experience life in my dog farm. If it wasn’t for Miss Nanako, the Ito family would have also been VIPs at my dog farm.”Immediately afterward, he could not help but sigh and say, “But everything aside, Miss Nanako and Master Wade are truly a good match! They are th
Yahiko, who had been without legs for a long time, had actually adapted to his state of being without legs both physically and psychologically.Now that he suddenly had a new pair of legs, his consciousness and nervous system could not match these two legs.Therefore, when Yahiko reached his hands into the mud with zero visibility and suddenly touched two legs, his subconscious mind immediately concluded that this must be his own prostheses.It was also because of this that when he touched the prostheses that had been placed into the bathtub, his first thought was to naturally get very angry, so he reprimanded his butler sternly. He did not like the prostheses, but the fact that his prostheses has been thrown into the beauty mud felt more like some kind of contemptuous prank.The butler had an innocent expression on his face at this time. He pointed at the changing stool in the changing area of the bathroom and said, “Mr. Ito, your prostheses are there!”Yahiko turned his head t
But even at this time, Yahiko still did not know that his two legs had grown back.He still subconsciously felt that he had lost his legs, and the subconscious kicking was completely a conditioned reflex when a person panicked. This conditioned reflex basically did not pass through the human brain.When Yahiko saw a thump in the mud behind him as if some giant was about to come out of it, he also had goosebumps all over his body out of fright. He quickly reached out his hand and said to the butler, “Quick! Pull me and get me out of this d*mn bathtub!”The butler was also terrified and hurriedly grabbed Yahiko’s arms with both hands, pulling him out of the bathtub with a sudden force.Immediately afterward, Yahiko felt his whole body being pulled out with a whoosh, and before he was even ready, he had already fallen and was lying heavily on the ground.As soon as he groaned, he heard his butler let out a terrified scream.The scream frightened Yahiko a lot, and he quickly asked, “
Charlie’s words caused Yahiko to feel stunned, almost as if he had been struck by a thunderbolt!He froze in place for a while, looked at Charlie nervously, and asked in a trembling voice, “Mr. Wade... Are... Are you sure you’re not kidding me? Have my legs... have my legs really grown back?!”Charlie nodded and said casually, “Mr. Ito, you’re also someone with great experience, so you shouldn’t be so surprised at this time, right? If you still don’t believe that this is true, you might as well stand up and take a few steps.”Yahiko stared at his two thick legs in a daze and subconsciously reached out his hands to touch them.The tactile feel was very real.Moreover, after he had calmed down a little, he realized that not only did his hands feel the real touch when he touched his legs, but even his legs really felt the feeling of being touched.At this moment, Yahiko’s body began to tremble uncontrollably.He had begun to gradually believe that all of this seemed to be true.Th
The butler hurriedly shook his head and said seriously, “I haven’t done that...”Charlie smiled and said, “That’s right. This kind of good thing does not appear in dreams so easily. It’s just like how every man has gone through puberty, yet the object of every sexual dream he has had may not be the girl he loves the most. Do you think that makes sense?”The butler thought what Charlie had said made sense and nodded repeatedly as he said, “Yes, that’s right... I racked my brains throughout my adolescence, but I’ve never dreamt of the goddess I had in mind...”Charlie hummed in response and then looked at Yahiko, smiled faintly, and said, “Mr. Ito, how does it feel like to have your birthday wish become reality?”Yahiko, who was still dumbfounded, suddenly knelt upright on the hard floor tiles with a thud when he heard this. His eyes were filled with tears, and he looked at Charlie as he sobbed and said, “Mr. Wade, thank you for your kindness! I never dreamt that I could become a nor
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
Neither Charlie nor the Ackers expected Yolden's insight to cover all corners.In fact, it felt like the man had a blueprint ready and was only waiting for the time to put it to use.That was why everyone was immensely approving of Yolden and wanted no other man for the job of CEO.Kaeden smiled, "Well, since everyone has agreed, let's put this to rest as soon as possible—this will be a joint investment between our family and the Wades, and Professor Hart will take the post of CEO. Let's all do our best to make this a good one!"Yolden also made up his mind, deciding that he didn't want to let slip a chance to realize his ambitions. "I'll resign from the university after my honeymoon trip. It probably shouldn't be long, and I can get involved in early preparations via teleconference."Charlie nodded. "Then, we can have Uncle Kaeden stay on schedule while I'll ask the Wades to send a representative over to sign a memorandum for the investment."Keith smiled and nodded. "You should
Charlie hadn't been born and raised in Aurous Hill, but he still started living here at the age of eight and was more attached to this place than Eastcliff.If he was going to take part in this automotive investment with the Ackers, he naturally found Aurous Hill the ideal location.Not only would it create a huge number of jobs for Aurous Hill, but it would also rake in much economic flow for the region.Yolden also nodded at his suggestion. "If the first plant is meant to cover the demand of the entire local market, there's no reason for a coastal plant. Aurous Hill stands at an intersection between the north and the south, so transportation is convenient. It's also killing two birds with one stone, as Mr. Wade is fond of the city."Charlie couldn't help but agree. "I won't lie—Aurous Hill has been good to me, and I hope to give back. Nothing's better than succeeding in that respect."Yolden spread his hands, "Heavy industries are certainly ideal to contribute to Aurous Hill's e
Yolden had actually been researching new energy for a while—in fact, it was when Tesla's first car models were produced.He was passionate about the subject and had his own opinions as well as ambitions, but he was busy teaching, so he couldn't realize any of it.But was this not a golden opportunity tailor-made for him?Seeing that Yolden was clearly interested, Charlie turned toward Kaeden, "Actually, the professor is getting married soon. There's no way we'd split up newlyweds so soon after the wedding, right? So, is it possible to set up base in Aurous Hill instead?""Not a problem!" Kaeden replied without hesitation. "Our family is planning to return to Oskia anyway, and everyone knows about Ashley and Curtis. So, why don't we invest in this enterprise alongside the Wades and have the base set up in Aurous Hill? And then bring Godot under as a subsidiary?"Turning to Yolden, he continued, "By the way, Godot's plant is already in the province—barely 100 miles from Aurous Hill,
Pausing, Yolden continued, "Moreover, the greatest advantage of AI is that it is self-conscious and has the processing power to analyze astronomical proportions of data. As car sales grow, every car owner's driving data will add precious new data to our data vault, and it will be processed by AI for even greater space of imagination."For example, kst's say I experienced a bumpiness along a certain road, and when the sensors pick up on that anomaly, the data will be uploaded to the servers along with images of the road condition in real time. The processing AI module would determine in no time at all that there was damage and label said location on the map, and then forward the data to other vehicles close to that location, sending notifications when they are close enough and providing the appropriate advice for countermeasures."Naturally, the AI can even be refined further so that it immediately warns us to slow down while uploading the data to the servers and informing any cars cl
Yolden's mind short-circuited at those words. "The most advanced AI module?!"He had been working on Wall Street for years, having invested in substantial startup tech companies as well as assisting plenty of Nasdaq tech enterprises with their IPO. That was why he especially had a sharp six sense for cutting-edge technology.It had been a while since he had gotten up the saddle, and AI had just become the trend recently, but he still paid close attention. He was well aware what applications were possible for AI modules, but he was shocked that Charlie already possessed what all the online giants were coveting!Thrilled, he quickly asked Charlie, "Can the Rothschilds resolve all the hardware and software issues? High-processing power display cards are a dime a dozen these days, and local enterprises are all planning to sell them one by one. The demand is just that high!"Charlie chuckled. "Don't worry—the Rothschilds will handle both issues for me, even the data centers. We bought i
Keith, who had been silent throughout, waved him off as he said solemnly, "Please don't sell yourself short, Professor Hart. I'm sure you can do well in this position, but it's still a matter of will."If your heart is truly set on educating future generations, then I'm sure you'd reject our offer no matter what we say."However, if you felt the slightest interest, even anticipation, for such a major project, then you really should consider our offer."We've already invested in Godot Autos for 3 billion USD and over 10 billion if we're counting in Ricebolt. But we still have 30 billion more in capital available—and that means it's 40 billion USD at play."I doubt any other global car maker can afford that much, let alone a new car maker. So, I dare say that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"Keith's words spoke to Yolden's very soul—a startup capital of forty billion US dollars was certainly unprecedented for electric-powered vehicles. Even Ricebolt had barely garnered ove
