Claire reminded him, “By the way, Honey, don’t forget to thank your client. He must have been worried and has been of great help to you over the past few days, right? Why don’t you treat him to dinner first tonight? You can drive back if there is enough time after you’re done with dinner, but if there’s not enough time, it’s okay for you to come back early in the morning tomorrow too. We can’t let others think that we’ve lost our manners.”Charlie did not intend to treat Jordan to dinner, but since Claire had said so, he planned to go and give some instructions to Albert and Isaac first. He wanted to let them stay at Shangri-La in New York for the time being.So, he said to Claire, “Honey, let me make some arrangements, and I’ll go back as soon as I’m done.”Charlie hung up the phone and said to Elaine, “Mom, you should rest here for a few days first. I’ll go and meet with my client, and I’ll go back to accompany Claire after that.”“Go, go!” Elaine said with a smile, “I’ll be well

Twenty minutes later, Charlie arrived at Shangri-La first. When he had just arrived in the presidential suite, Albert quickly came to report, “Master Wade, Chief Lammy is here.”Charlie nodded. “Let him in.”Albert hurriedly ushered in Merlin, who was dressed in casual clothes.As soon as Merlin saw Charlie, he clasped one of his hands over the other respectfully and said, “Hello, Young Master Wade!” Charlie smiled slightly and then pointed at the sofa in front of him as he said, “Please have a seat, Chief Lammy. Didn’t I give you a week to be reunited with your family? Why are you planning to go to Syria so soon?”Merlin laughed at himself and sighed as he said, “My daughter and son-in-law are busy looking for cars and houses every day, so they don’t have much time for me. I don’t want to continue wasting time in Houston, so I plan to head to Syria first. I want to meet with the man that you caught last time and find out some details from him.”When Charlie saw that Merlin lo

Charlie once felt that the search for the specific address of 547’s lineage of dead soldiers might be as difficult as reaching for the sky.The reason for this was that the mysterious organization had extremely tight control over the dead soldiers, preventing them from perceiving the exact time, and also preventing them from feeling external light, temperature, sound, and the changing seasons outside the world. Therefore, 547 did not even know which one of the seven continents he lived in, let alone whether he was in the tropics or the cold zone. Even the only living person could not come up with any substantial clues, so it was even more impossible for outsiders to find this place. However, Merlin accurately found clues that the mysterious organization had no control over.Earthquakes, tsunamis, and typhoons were all powerful natural phenomena. Even if a strong bunker could isolate typhoons and tsunamis, no matter how strong the bunker was, it was simply impossible for it to i

Merlin hurriedly explained, “Young Master Wade, I’m not afraid of taking risks...”Charlie nodded. “I know, and I do not doubt your courage, but as you’ve just said, the contact is mutual, so it’s better to be cautious. If contact is really necessary, it’d certainly be safer for me to make contact instead of you. So, you should just do the preliminary investigation and leave the rest up to me to decide.”Merlin’s purpose was to remind Charlie to be more careful and cautious.When he saw that Charlie had accepted his advice, Merlin felt relieved and said, “Young Master Wade, in that case, I won’t have any worries. I will let you know as soon as I make any progress.”***That night, as Charlie drove back to Providence, Merlin took a Virgin Atlantic flight to Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, via London.After a twelve-hour flight, Porter used a helicopter to pick Merlin up personally and brought him to Ten Thousand Armies’ base in Syria after the plane landed in Beirut. Due to the

Merlin arrived at the core area of Ten Thousand Armies’ base here under Porter’s guidance.The so-called core area is a central area of four square kilometers in the center of Ten Thousand Armies’ base. Although the base was not completed yet, a high wall had already been erected in the core area, and there were a large number of frame buildings of different heights inside the high wall. These frame buildings were all modular building units that Ten Thousand Armies procured from Oskia which could be put to use in the shortest possible time after being assembled quickly. However, these buildings were only a temporary transition. Once the permanent base was completed, these buildings would gradually be dismantled and eliminated. Porter led Merlin to a six-story building. At this time, rapid renovation had been completed in the interior of the building. Although the construction site was still in full swing outside, there were basically no traces of construction inside. A few m

547 had long hated the organization that controlled his destiny, and he had been hoping that Charlie could find the location where his own line of dead soldiers was stationed so that he could rescue his wife, children, and family members at the same time. So, he naturally would provide his full cooperation to Merlin.Merlin nodded, and without talking too much nonsense, he went straight to the point and said, “The immediate task at hand is to find a way to determine the location of your residence on the map. Before that, I wonder if you have any valuable clues that you can share with me?”547 shook his head and said, “Chief Lammy, to tell you the truth, I’ve been thinking about this issue for a while, but the organization is extremely cautious and didn’t leave me with any valuable information at all.”Merlin smiled slightly, took out the major natural disaster data that he had sorted out, and asked him, “547, how old are you this year?”547 hurriedly said, “Chief Lammy, I should pr

“Was the water salty?”547 thought about it for a while and then frowned as he said, “Well... I really don’t remember clearly. After all, it’s been too long, but as far as I can remember, it seems that at that time, there were some white residues on the ground and clothes. Could that be the salt precipitated from the seawater?” Merlin nodded and said, “There is a high probability that’s salt. If so, what you experienced at that time could be the Indonesian tsunami. The reason for the flooding was because the earthquake triggered a tsunami, and many surrounding countries were also affected by the disaster, including your place of residence.”Having said that, Merlin circled two areas on the map and said, “From this point of view, your location may be in the west of South Asia or in the eastern part of Southeast Asia.” Merlin then saw a few more entries of the data and muttered, “The epicenter of the tsunami in Indonesia has also experienced earthquakes in recent years but of a low

“In a coma.” 547 said truthfully, “When we are about to go on a mission, we will first take a medicine that puts us into a deep coma. We will already have arrived at the location when we wake up.”Merlin asked again, “How can you be certain that you took a plane every time you went out, then?”547 explained, “I would ask my wife to help me calculate the time every time I go out on a mission. Although our time is not accurate, the error is not too big with a relatively short timeline.”“Each time I go out on a mission, the time that I can’t grasp is the round-trip distance. I can record the time for the execution of the mission accurately, so every time I go back, I will check the time with my wife and use the time she had recorded minus the time I used to execute the mission to calculate the time spent on the round trip. Under normal circumstances, no matter where we go on a mission anywhere in the world, the time we spend on the round trip would not exceed six or seven days. This s

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

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
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6587
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,
