The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 5198
Charlie did not conceal it any longer at this point and said solemnly, “Lady Jenson, I was hunting down the members of Crazy Juarez in Mexico when I discovered that they were imprisoning so many innocent people there by chance. So, I asked my subordinates to take all of you out and send you back home.”The old lady was pleasantly surprised and excited as she said, “It seems that my guess was not wrong. You really are our benefactor!”With that said, she trembled as she attempted to grovel before Charlie, but Charlie stopped her and said seriously, “Lady Jenson, you don’t have to do this. Any normal person in Mexico that day wouldn’t have sat back idly without doing anything.”The old lady was teary-eyed as she sobbed and said, “Thank you for saving our lives, Benefactor! If it weren’t for you, the Jenson family’s lineage would have ended with us...”Having said that, she looked up at the portrait on the wall, but what she looked at was not the man in the middle, but the child who w

The old lady looked at the old man in the portrait and murmured, “Master Marcius’s name is Marcius Stark, and he’s a native of Coleham. He later began cultivating longevity and called himself Longevity Master. Master Marcius is the honorific name the Jenson family use to address him.”“Marcius Stark...” Charlie muttered. He had not heard of this name, but he was not very surprised either. The painting itself seemed to be very old, and the old lady’s family had been passed down for sixteen hundred years. It was not surprising that the person in this painting was someone from ancient times. The old lady then spoke up again, “Master Marcius was a scholar in high school, and he was an official in court, but later, he resigned from his position as an official because he got the opportunity to cultivate by chance. He then came here with his wife and son to concentrate on cultivation, but his wife and son passed away one after the other soon after arriving from an infection due to the wi

Charlie sighed. “Countless classics were lost in this kind of turmoil. Your ancestors knew what Phoenixica was, but very few people in the whole of Oskia and even in the world know what Phoenixica is now. Our current traditional culture and Oskian medication are all citing classics, but I don’t know how many classics have long been buried in the long history...”As Charlie spoke of this, he suddenly remembered something and asked in surprise, “By the way, Lady Jenson, you said that there were two bracelets?”“Yes!” The old lady said firmly, “The two bracelets are made out of Phoenixica and were originally a pair. They were the Jenson family’s heirloom. After Master Marcius rescued my ancestor, he recognized that the bracelet was made out of Phoenixica, so he asked my ancestor if he would be willing to give him one of the bracelets. He would then accept my ancestor as his disciple in return. My ancestor was helpless back then, so he naturally agreed without hesitation. Master Marcius

When the old lady heard Charlie mention the Rejuvenating Pill, she was horrified and asked, “Benefactor, you... you also know about the Rejuvenating Pill?!”Charlie nodded and said frankly, “I do.” There was a sentence that Charlie did not say aloud.That was the fact that he had also specially prepared a Rejuvenating Pill for Lady Jenson this time.Lady Jenson could not help but say with admiration, “You’re indeed a person with great supernatural powers just like Master Marcius!”Charlie only smiled faintly, but he was actually even more appalled. So far, although he had benefited a lot from the Apocalyptic Book, he still did not know who the author was.Now, when he learned that Marcius had already refined the Rejuvenating Pill more than a thousand years ago and had even given two of the Rejuvenating Pills to the ancestor of the Jenson family, he could not help but wonder, ‘Could it be that Marcius Stark was the author of the Apocalyptic Book? The antique jade pot vase that

Lady Jenson also nodded and sighed as she said, “It was recorded in the genealogy that when my ancestor was a hundred and thirteen years old, he was not deaf, not blind, and was still physically fit. Everyone thought that he would live to be a hundred and twenty years old, but when he was a hundred and thirteen years old, he was sitting in front of the charcoal fire to take a nap after dinner when he suddenly said excitedly that Master Marcius was here to pick him up. He then passed away with a smile on his face.”Charlie said, “It seems that your ancestor really had a deep relationship with Master Marcius.”“Yes.” The old lady said, “My ancestor left his instruction behind before he died. He said that the members of the Jenson family are not allowed to leave this place for generations, and we must always guard the tombs of Master Marcius’s wife and son because Master Marcius told my ancestor that he will definitely come back for him and share the luck with him if he found a way to l

“People with a different last name don’t know about him.” The old lady replied, “These things have always only been passed on to the Jenson family’s direct lineage.”Charlie nodded faintly and asked her, “The Jenson family’s direct lineage is hoping to wait until Master Marcius appears?”The old lady sighed and said indifferently, “In the past, my grandfather and father were still looking forward to Master Marcius’s appearance to start a new life since he promised to give my ancestor a chance at longevity...”Having said that, the old lady then sighed dejectedly as she said, “But I lost three sons in a row, and I only had Jeremy when I was forty-five years old. After finally raising him up to adulthood, I didn’t care about anything else except for him.”Charlie said, “If Master Marcius is still alive and willing to fulfill his promise, you can also leave this chance of longevity to your son, then.”The old lady smiled wryly, pointed to her temple, and said with distress, “My son w

Charlie smiled faintly and said, “When we parted, I promised you that I will personally come and visit you after returning to Oskia and that I will let you and your son have a worry-free life. I came to fulfill my promise this time, so I got someone to buy a small villa and storefront in Sentermill, and you can move there with your son.”The old lady hurriedly said, “Benefactor, I cannot accept that. You saved our lives, and we can’t even repay you, so how can we still take your properties?”Charlie waved his hand and said seriously, “Lady Jenson, this sum of money is of no significance to me at all. Besides, the bracelet that you gave me is of great use to me. How can I feel at ease to let you and your son continue living here?” With that said, Charlie added, “More than a thousand years have passed, and Master Marcius has never appeared here. It is also impossible for him to appear in the future. In that case, you don’t have to wait any longer just because of your ancestor’s last
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 5205
Lady Jenson did not know that the pill that Charlie had taken out was the Rejuvenating Pill that the ancestor of the Jenson family had told his descendants about.To the Jenson family in the past thousand years, the Rejuvenating Pill was just a legend that only existed in the memories of their ancestors. It was impossible for them to have the opportunity to see this thing in their lifetime.Therefore, Lady Jenson did not think that this pill would be the famous Rejuvenating Pill.However, even though she really thought that this was just some kind of pill refined by Charlie himself, she still said without hesitation, “Benefactor, you have been so kind to us, so how can I...”Charlie knew that she was going to repeat the same thing, so he said casually, “It doesn’t matter. It’s just a pill that I refined randomly. It’s similar to how you entertain your guests with the bacon you made yourself. You don’t have to be so polite with me.”When Lady Jenson heard this, she was also worried

Pausing, Charlie then said, "I'll call Steve to drop by later too. I'm sure folks in Aurous Hill won't know him, but your potential troublemaker might.""I-Is that really fine?" Yolden blurted."What's not fine about it?" Charlie chuckled. "He has been treated like a tool ever since he came to Aurous Hill, and now that he has a chance to strut about, he wouldn't ask for more."Yolden appeared slightly relieved at that, and Charlie asked, "By the way, where's Paul, Matilda, and Autumn?""Getting their makeup done," Yolden replied. "Paul's my best man while Autumn's the maid of honor.""Good," Charlie nodded with a grin. "Don't worry—the wedding's going to be a success."As they spoke, Matilda stepped out of the dressing room in a stark-white wedding dress, flanked by Autumn and Paul.Seeing Charlie, Autumn nodded politely, "Good morning, Mr. Wade."As Charlie nodded in turn, Paul started, "G-Good morning… Mr. Wade…"Seeing that he was nervous and tentative, Charlie knew that he

As Yolden and Matilda were remarrying after living abroad for years, the wedding ceremony was much simpler, skipping Oskian customs and having a simple wedding reception for their guests at the hotel hall.There weren't that many guests either—aside from their children and close friends, only a handful of Yolden's colleagues at Aurous Hill University were invited.As the celebrant, Charlie didn't have much to do and was mainly the emcee.He brought along his jacket as he headed out to Shangri-La, not wearing it immediately so that Claire wouldn't guess that he was attending Matilda's wedding.Arriving at the Hanging Gardens before the guests were supposed to arrive, he found Yolden working with the staff to finalize the preparations.Seeing Charlie, Yolden approached him and said, "Thanks for coming this early, Charlie."Noticing that he was a little tired, Charlie asked in concern, "Had a bad night?"Yolden nodded, sighing, "Paul's uncle caused a huge mess. Both Matilda and I a

Tarlon nodded. "How do you suggest we find them?"Fleur scowled. "There's no rush. There are things which I'm still confused about, so just keep a close eye on the Ackers and the Wades for the time being. Report to me right away if anything important comes up—don't afford our enemies any opportunities to exploit.""Yes, milady!" -The next day, more news outlets were covering the joint project between the Ackers and the Wades as word continued to spread.However, neither family revealed too many details, be it the name of the company, who was the CEO, or the scale of their business.While the public was dying with curiosity, nothing else was known.Still, Aurous Hill's officials were especially interested, with the town hall visiting the Ackers the next day and showing utmost sincerity by leasing a whopping 2-million-square-meter land along the southern highway. Still, the condition was for the Ackers to come true on their promise to propel the city's economy to 15 billion US d

Fleur had repeatedly mentioned the conspiracy theory of Ashley using a body double over the last twenty years.Tarlon had investigated from many different angles, but everything from the gender, age, dental records, to body figure pointed to the fact that the deceased was Ashley Acker.And yet, Fleur had never bought it, insisting that Curtis was prepared for them just because Curtis' son had gone missing soon after.There was no way Curtis would save his son but not his wife, and the disfigured corpse only added fuel to Fleur's suspicion.Thus, over the last twenty years, Fleur had kept a close eye on the Ackers, arranging for two 'scholars' to be embedded amongst their ranks as sleeper agents. She went that far all to determine if Ashley was dead or had faked her death.However, the scholars had since been killed in action, and they had no spies within the Ackers left.As for Tarlon, he still doubted Fleur's theory even now, but he remained respectful as he spoke, "Milady, I mu

Meanwhile, on the edge of the South Pole, Tarlon Griffin rushed outside of Fleur Griffin's room, knocking the door gingerly as he announced, "I have news, my lady!"Fleur didn't respond, but the thick wooden door between them slowly opened as if pushed by an invisible force.Tarlon entered to find Fleur seated on the floor with her legs crossed at the ankles. Her eyes remained closed as she molded her Reiki, asking, "What is it?"Tarlon quickly answered, "News from Oskia. The Ackers are partnering with the Wades on a joint venture into electric-powered vehicles."Fleur slowly opened her eyes, asking quietly, "And you're telling me because?"Tarlon quickly explained, "It just came out of the blue, so I thought I should report it to you right away."Fleur sighed. "After I tried and failed to wipe out the Ackers so many times, they wouldn't dare set foot stateside. If anything, they must have decided to seek asylum in Oskia by offering a substantial investment, and it's a base whe

Silent for a while, Matilda then asked Yolden, "Do you think I can do it?""Yes!" Yolden nodded without hesitation. "You definitely won't have any problems!"Matilda sighed, shaking her head. "We traveled far abroad to study while we were young, but we didn't return to Oskia to help the country's development. It's been thirty years since, and now that we have returned to the country at the same time, I definitely wouldn't turn down such an opportunity to help."Pausing, she then said, "That said, major corporations make it a point to not hire family members. Forget spouses—employees aren't allowed to date, and one of the two will be asked to resign if necessary."Don't you think it's inappropriate since we are legally married, having gotten our certificate and all? And if we set these precedents, we would have trouble asking other employees to follow that policy. You are going to be a CEO, so you need a very clear answer on this issue."Yolden shrugged. "In the first place, that p

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
