The guys in the crowd looked at each other silently, then they simultaneously looked at Jordan, the head of the Weaver family.Everyone knew that Jordan had been a womanizer when he was young. Back in the days, he had even eaten a poisonous remedy made out of billies just for the sole purpose of sleeping around with women that put his life on the verge of death when he was only sixty years old. So, he was the man who slept with the most women among them all.Jordan started to grin triumphantly when he noticed everyone’s gaze falling upon him. He stood upright and said, “Master Wade, for your information, I was quite charming when I was young, so I did have plenty of admirers back in the days. I guess I slept with about three to five hundred women!”Charlie nodded reluctantly and said to Kenneth as he pointed at Jordan, “Okay, he’s your man.”Kenneth grimaced slightly.Did Charlie really ask him to drink the old coot’s urine? That was too f*cking disgusting!However, Charlie did
Charlie’s remark made Kenneth dizzy and at a loss. After a while, he finally comprehended Charlie’s words.Since the urine was the primer, it was used to enhance the efficacy of the medicine, so of course, he had to drink the urine first.But, one liter of urine… Kenneth collapsed into the slumber of concern again.On the contrary, Charlie smiled cheerfully and said, “You can’t delay this any longer. If your penis is completely rotten, don’t blame me for not saving you.”Kenneth shuddered at the imagination and blurted, “Okay! I’ll follow your instructions!”Charlie nodded and said to Jordan, “Mr. Weaver, please have a drink of water first, then get someone to boil the medicine.”Jordan bowed respectfully and said, “Okay, Master Wade, I’ll drink the water now…”Kenneth heaved a long sigh, resigning to his fate. To him, healing his penis was more important than anything else.On the other hand, Charlie was extremely delighted.The urine and the most bitter medicine were not n
The scumbag’s situation was comparable to that of the rich kid infamously known for eating shit who was all over the Internet…Kenneth drank the urine in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and urged hurriedly, “Where’s the medicine? Quick! Give it to me now!”Charlie took the bowl of thick black medicinal soup from the servant and secretly sprinkled a little bit of the magical elixir’s scraps into the soup.Then, he handed the soup to Kenneth and said with a smile, “Here, Mr. Wilson!”The strong urine smell was lingering in Kenneth’s mouth that he needed something to ease the awfulness, so he quickly took a big sip of the soup when he got it.The bitterness almost knocked him out after the big sip.He had never tasted anything so damn bitter in his life. It was like a tonne of licorice slices melted into this bowl of medicinal soup.Besides, not only was the medicine bitter, but it also burned badly!As soon as his tongue touched the soup, it went numb, followed by the whole mouth. As
After so many sufferings and misery, Kenneth wanted to go home so badly.Besides, he knew that there was no one who could help him regain his manhood in Aurous Hill, so he wanted to try his luck at Eastcliff.He also had an important function to attend to—his mother’s 84th birthday. As her eldest son, he must go back to celebrate her birthday.His mother had requested that he invite Anthony to the birthday banquet, but from the looks of it, it seemed that Anthony still hadn’t forgiven him. Despite that, he cleared his throat and asked, “Uncle Simmons, my mother’s birthday is just around the corner. I would like to invite you to join our celebration.”Anthony said emotionlessly, “Mr. Wilson, I’ve told you, I have nothing to do with your family anymore so don’t waste your time persuading me to attend the birthday banquet.”Kenneth sighed and nodded dejectedly. Although he wanted to jump on the old man and beat the crap out of him, he still said humbly, “Okay, Uncle Simmons. Since yo
What Jordan really meant was, “You, Charlie Wade, are nothing but an outsider. Please stay away from the Weaver family’s affairs!”Liam felt as if he had fallen from the sky to hell when he heard his heartless father’s remark.He realized that he had been tricked—very miserably too!His father had never wanted to give him the chance at all!Even if he surrendered his mother’s precious snow ginseng to plead Charlie to save his family, his father would never want to elect him as the company’s chairman.Charlie frowned in dismay and asked coldly, “Oh? Are you planning to break your promise?”Jordan quickly explained, “Oh no, Master Wade, that’s a misunderstanding. There’s something that you aren’t aware of. Well, the other day, I told both my sons that whoever could solve this problem for our family will have a bigger chance to be the chairman. Of course, I’ll give Liam credit for what he did for the family today, so when it comes to the election for the chairman position, he’ll hav
Charlie wasn’t very surprised when Jordan went back on his words. In fact, he had expected it.When there was more than one child in the family, it was only normal that parents found it difficult to treat each offspring fairly and equally.Lady Wilson was the best example. She didn’t like Claire very much because she disobeyed her by being together with Charlie, so she favored the obedient Wendy more.Jordan had never ever regarded Liam as his own son. He only raised Liam as a servant in the Weaver family, so how could he possibly hand over the family business to him?Charlie glared at Jordan and asked again, “I’ll give you one last chance to settle the chairman position issue. Think about it carefully before you speak.”Jordan sneered, “I don’t have to think, I’ll tell you one more time, I’ll never let Liam be the chairman! To tell you the truth, I’ve never thought about electing him as the chairman. Even if he saved the Weaver family today, to me, he is nothing but an illegitima
Immediately afterward, the notifications of incoming messages buzzed on Jeffrey’s phone like a swarm of busy bees!He was a member of a chat message group whose members consisted of several people with good relationships with the Weaver family. They were becoming frantic at this moment!“Jeff, how did you end up on Don Albert’s bad side? He is offering a reward of a hundred million dollars for a hit list on you and your dad! It will take effect at midnight!”Jeffrey’s face darkened. He was shocked and scared.Before he could reply, another message popped up in the group.“F*ck, Zeke White is adding another hundred million bonus on the hit list!”“D*mn, Graham Quinton too! The reward has now increased to three hundred million!”“Oh my god! The Moore family is in it too! They add two hundred million, which makes the rewards five hundred million dollars now! D*mn!”Blood drained from Jeffrey’s face and cold sweat drenched his face and body. He dropped the phone and the screen brok
Jordan wailed in utter desperation upon hearing Charlie’s order!He found Mount Golmin, the treacherous mountain, and its icy cold weather very repulsive!He would not even have stepped foot into that cold place had it not been for the fact that he had to collect the medicine himself at the beginning of his business.Because of his repulsion towards the bitter cold place, he was equally disgusted by Liam’s mother and only treated her as a temporary escort.However, he never dreamed that, many decades later, Charlie would punish him by making him stay at Mount Golmin without ever being able to leave the place!That’s the place that he hated the most! It would be like taking his own life if he locked him there and never be allowed to leave!He was certain that he would die anytime soon due to his deteriorating health, but if he went to a place like Mount Golmin, he would die faster!Besides, the place was like a living hell for a pleasure-seeking old coot like him!He looked at C
When Jacob came to his senses, he was already in tears. The student presumed he was unwell and asked, "Mr. Wilson, do you want me to call your wife to pick you up?" Elaine's sarcastic face immediately popped up in his mind, and he trembled with fear. He quickly wiped away his tears and stammered, "D-don't bother... I... I just got something in my eyes..." The student obviously didn't believe him and asked worriedly, "Why don't you call your wife? Or I'll call a cab for you." "No, no." Jacob waved his hand and said, "I'll call my son-in-law to pick me up. He has just returned to Aurous Hill, so it shouldn't be a problem." After that, he quickly took out his phone and called Charlie. Just a few minutes ago, Charlie had left the cafe and was about to walk Yolden to his car. When he saw Yolden walking straight toward a domestic new energy vehicle, he asked curiously, "I don't think you were driving this model before, were you?" "I just bought it," Yolden replied with a smil
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
