The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 5679
Vera subconsciously said, “That’s different…”Charlie asked her, “How is it different? You can accept it when you call me Charlie, but you can't accept it now that you’re addressing me as ‘Young Master’?”Vera replied awkwardly, “I… I didn't mean that… I just feel that these pills are too precious. The reason I accepted the remaining part of the pill before this was because I was afraid that you would encounter danger one day. In that case, I could keep the remaining part of the pill for emergency use. Now that you’re safe and sound, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to accept any pills from you anymore, Young Master.”Charlie said unequivocally, “Then you'd better adjust your perspective as soon as possible and tell yourself that there's nothing inappropriate about it.”With that said, Charlie stuffed the pill into her hand directly. After that, he did not wait for her response and took out another Rejuvenating Pill, handed it to her again, and said, “This is a Rejuvenating Pill.

As Vera piloted the light helicopter into the air again, Charlie took the opportunity to take the Regeneration Pill. Meanwhile, thousands of miles away at the headquarters of the Qing Eliminating Society, Fleur paced anxiously in her room. She was already four hundred years old this year, but she looked like she was only in her thirties. Although she was charming and spirited, her current state of agitation and restlessness caused her ruthlessness to be etched on her face, making anyone who looked at her feel intimidated. The last time Fleur felt this restless was when she was chased into the mountains by the Qing army for the first time together with Elijah. Over the years, although she hadn't found Vera, it was, after all, a cat-and-mouse game that had lasted for three hundred years. She had always played the role of the cat, so she did not feel so anxious even when she could not find Vera. However, the source of her anxiety and uneasiness at this moment was that her two great

Fleur also felt somewhat worried at this moment as she muttered to herself, “Mr. Chardon’s strength is already remarkable, and he’s already even more powerful with the magical instrument I gave him. If he really sacrificed himself in the explosion, then the person who forced him to do so must be much stronger than him.”As she spoke, Fleur couldn't help but exclaim, “I never expected that there would be such a skilled master in Aurous Hill. Based on my understanding of the Ackers, they couldn't possibly have any contact with someone this powerful. So, who exactly is this person?”Tarlon couldn't help but say, “British Lord, I believe that person should be acquainted with the Ackers. Otherwise, why would he save them at the critical moment?”Fleur shook her head with a gloomy expression and said, “I don't know either. If Mr. Chardon really perished in the explosion, his opponent must be a cultivator with even greater strength. However, I've had people secretly monitoring the Ackers f
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 5682
After pausing for a moment, Tarlon continued, “Moreover, in the recent period of time, they have been gaining one victory after another with unstoppable momentum. If we don't stop them now, I’m afraid there might be even more trouble in the future! British Lord, this crisis is unprecedented, so you can't hesitate anymore!”Fleur fell into a momentary silence.Tarlon’s concerns added to her anxiety and unease. She knew that what Tarlon said made sense. If they allowed the other side to continue growing in secret, it would probably pose a huge threat to her in the future!With this in mind, she clenched her teeth and said, “Inform the Central Governor Office immediately and get them to send the best scouts on a plane to Aurous Hill immediately to investigate this matter!”“If Mr. Chardon really perished in the explosion, the tremendous force will inevitably leave traces of the explosion within a radius of several hundred meters. After dawn tomorrow, as long as they fly over Willow Ma

The cell phone was completely shattered and deformed, and even the battery bulged due to the deformation. When she saw this, she finally heaved a sigh of relief, realizing that the cell phone couldn't possibly continue to relay her position to the British Lord.After about ten minutes, Charlie finally recovered thanks to the effects of the Regeneration Pill. He stretched his neck, lazily stretching his body in the narrow cabin, looking nothing like a person who had just been heavily injured and weak.Vera, who was aside, exclaimed in surprise, “Young Master, you've already recovered?!”Charlie nodded slightly and said, “My body has recovered, but I haven’t recovered my Reiki yet.”As he spoke, he took out two Cultivating Pills and popped them into his mouth. As soon as the pills entered his stomach, they turned into pure Reiki, flowing through his repaired meridians and elixir field, spreading throughout his body.Charlie felt the surging Reiki returning, immediately experiencing

When Vera saw Charlie point in a certain direction, she didn't even look and pulled the control lever directly, making the helicopter fly accurately in the direction Charlie’s finger was pointing.At this moment, Ruby, who was hiding in the crevice of the boulders, still didn't know she had been targeted by the other party. She just wanted to do her best not to move her body, not to make any noise, and wait for the people on the helicopter to inspect and naturally leave this place. She was absolutely confident that she wouldn't be discovered by the other party.The helicopter circled the valley several times, but the people above never came down to search, and the boulder blocking Ruby’s head was very thick. Even if the other party used equipment such as thermal imaging, they couldn't possibly discover her whereabouts through this boulder. What caused Ruby to feel increasingly uneasy was that the helicopter was actually roaring toward her direction! As the helicopter approached clo

Ruby was extremely nervous. She knew that if she was discovered by the other party, she would almost certainly die, and the other party would definitely torture her in every possible way to extract information from her about the Qing Eliminating Society and the British Lord. Moreover, the Qing Eliminating Society had attempted to annihilate the Ackers repeatedly. Once she fell into their hands, even if she cooperated obediently, she probably wouldn't have a good outcome. So, her last glimmer of hope at the moment was that the other party wouldn't find her.Just when she was still holding onto this last bit of hope, Charlie suddenly spoke loudly, “Miss Dijo, you were secretly observing my fight with Mr. Chardon in the dark just now, and now, you're still hiding in the shadows. Doesn't that seem a bit unreasonable?”Charlie’s words struck Ruby’s mind like a thunderbolt.In that instant, countless thoughts rushed through her mind, ‘This person actually found me?! This person… This pe
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 5686
After saying this, Ruby struggled to try to stand up. Although she had chosen to give in to Charlie, as a cultivator, she didn't want Charlie to see her climbing out from the gap between the boulder.However, her body was already severely injured by the explosion, and climbing all the way here had almost exhausted all her strength. So, when she struggled to stand up, her legs were trembling.When she clenched her teeth and tried to take a step forward, a sudden intense pain shot through her right leg, and then her whole body fell forward uncontrollably.When Charlie saw her falling toward the sharp and hard rocks, he immediately threw a punch toward her in mid-air.A powerful wave of energy surged out from his fist, creating a powerful whirlwind. The whirlwind was so fast that it held Ruby’s body, which was already at a forty-five-degree angle and about to fall, firmly in the air!At the moment when Ruby’s body fell, she had completely resigned herself to her fate. She knew that i

Pausing, Julien then said, "I mostly drink wine and the occasional whiskey.""How much are those, usually?" Raymond asked.Julien thought about it. "If it's table wine, 10,000 to 50,000 USD. For bigger occasions, it'd be something over a hundred thousand."Raymond nodded and pointed at the bottle of Oskian vodka he had bought. "Guess how much that is?"Julein shook his head. "I don't usually drink Oskian alcohol, so I'm not too sure…""Come on," Charlie chuckled. "We're not asking if you know—we're just asking you to take a guess.""Then…" Julien quickly said. "I'm guessing, three thousand?""Three thousand?" Raymond chuckled and shook his head. "That's way too flattering. It's around 7 USD.""Seven bucks?!" Julien exclaimed, and he blurted, "You usually drink something that cheap, Mr. Cole?""Well, not stateside," Raymond smiled. "But I liked it after I ordered one from a diner yesterday. It's cheap, and it has quality."Julien gulped as he stared at his own cup filled to th

Julien flinched and promptly threw his hands up. "No, no, no… please don't say that, Mr. Wade! That's not what I mean—as a son, it's only right that I hope my father lives long and prospers. Why wouldn't I want him to?"Charlie pointed out, "Then why'd you say that I've screwed you over repeatedly?""Oh. I, uh…" Julien wasn't sure how to respond to that, and he groaned unhappily, "I was not being mindful with words. I take that back…" Charlie nodded. "Then, I'll give you another chance.""Huh?" Julien was left confused, and he quickly asked, "Another chance… for what?"Charlie clapped him on the shoulder again, smiling, "We're old friends, aren't we? Why would I screw you over? Anyway, your turn."Julien was left utterly aggrieved as he read through Charlie's intention—that was precisely the definition of screwing him over!If his father knew he had come to Aurous Hill to hang out with these two, especially Biden Cole, he would definitely be removed as heir! And yet, Charlie

Having seen a sliver of the common folk's plight, Julien turned back to the journey at hand.Soon, his MPV arrived at Aurous Hill's Antique Street.As it was closing hours, the place appeared bleak, almost as though it had been completely abandoned. It was only during opening hours and the few hours before closing that the place became most alive anyway.Most of the time, the vendors and employees outnumbered the guests, and during closing hours, it would get very quiet. One wouldn't even find strays here as there weren't scraps around.Still, Julien had no idea what the hell the place was, even as he arrived outside Treasure Measure following the location Charlie had sent.Once he was sure he was at the right place, he called Charlie, immediately sounding respectful and flattering, "I'm here, Mr. Wade. If you don't mind opening the door…""Alright, just hang on," Charlie said and put down the phone while turning to Raymond, who was putting the food on a folding table, "Our frien

The lawyer then finished, "To be honest, cases of regretting a donation and seeking a lawsuit to get the money back? Law firms usually won't even get one per year, and that makes it especially newsworthy for the press."Also, court records are always public. That means anyone can access the verdict, and there's no hiding anything. So, if you want the lawsuit, you'd better be prepared."Jacob was already left in despair.All he wanted was to get his money back, but he didn't think that it would end up as public knowledge.And Mr. Bay had just told him over the phone that he would try to quell the scandal's pressure and try his best to protect Jacob's place as vice president.If Jacob's name was suddenly mentioned in a lawsuit attempting to reclaim an 'accidental' donation, even Mr. Bay couldn't save him at that point.Hence, after thinking long and hard about it, Jacob realized that he was not getting his 300 thousand back.The thought crushed him, and he burst into tears, "What
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6550
At this hour, most of the employees at Talbot Associates had already left.However, there were several lawyers who had just finished a meeting regarding a certain case, and they were just leaving when Jacob arrived.Seeing that they were packing up their bags and ready to leave, he asked, "Excuse me, are you still able to take cases?"The leader smiled, "Yes, but it's a little late now. Why don't you come again tomorrow morning?"Jacob shook his head impatiently. "This is very urgent—please help me and hear me out, then see if it will work. 300 thousand banks on this, so I'll give you twenty percent whether or not I get it back!"300 thousand was really neither here nor there.However, if it were an easy civil case, that twenty percent commission would still mean sixty thousand.The lawyer thought about it. "Fine. Tell us what your problem is, and we will assess the situation first. If it's easy, we can give you a general strategy right now. But if it proves difficult, we'll hav

The cabbie nodded. "Well, Talbot Associates, it is! They're said to be number two."-While Jacob was heading off to consult a law firm, Charlie was calling Julien Rothschild over the phone.The manchild had just had room service and was lounging on the couch, fiddling with his phone.After visiting the kennels with Charlie, he had been idling his days away at the hotel, waiting for Salem and his son to post that video of them being out at sea.Once that was done, Julien would return to the States, once more the heir apparent of the Rothschilds. Still, it was boring to simply lounge around in the hotel, and he would really like to strengthen his ties with Charlie.However, he was also afraid of being too forward as Charlie could be intimidating, and he could upset him—just like a fan eager to get close to their idol but was still worried about their idol getting disgusted with them.As such, he never expected Charlie to call him, and he immediately answered eagerly, "Good even
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6548
Pausing, Mr. Bay continued, "If they're not that upset with the idea, I'll bang my gavel and make the call so that you can at least stay as a vice president."If they keep refusing, I just have to promote Mr. Zonda to become a vice president while you take over his position of head-of-department as insurance. What do you think?"Jacob certainly wouldn't protest the idea of insurance, especially when he thought he would be forced to leave the Calligraphy and Painting Association altogether earlier. He quickly exclaimed gratefully, "Thank you so much, Mr. Bay!"Mr. Bay chuckled, clearly relieved as well. "Come on, Jacob—you don't have to be so formal. I'm like a brother to you! Don't you think that's what I should be doing?"Jacob laughed earnestly for once. "Well, brother, I'm honestly relieved…" He trailed off but soon pressed on, "But I have to ask, won't the other members have things to say even if you manage to persuade the other vice presidents? What if they remain unhappy?

There were times when making a person despair to some extent could be a people-strategy.For example, when your distant acquaintance asked for a ten grand loan but you could only lend him one, you couldn't tell him directly that. It would make them think you were being insincere.The better option would be to tell them how you were worse off than they were and had a debt yourself, or that some other friend had borrowed money for three years and never repaid it.And when that mere acquaintance was in despair, you could tell them that if it was really important, you could lend them one thousand with a credit card loan.That way, while the mere acquaintance wouldn't exactly be awash with gratitude, they at least wouldn't complain about your lack of sincerity.That was exactly what Mr. Bay was doing.He had no intention of offending Jacob, but he also couldn't directly tell him to give up on claiming the position as president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association. Otherwise, Ja

Jacob felt absolutely horrible just then, and he certainly did not expect Don Albert to give him the cold shoulder.If he had known, he would have just stayed content with the 200 thousand he had made and enjoyed his trip to Dubai! If he had, the Calligraphy and Painting Association wouldn't have found out about the bronze sculpture plot, and Don Albert would still be on friendly terms with him.Absolutely regretting everything, Jacob got in the backseat of the cab, tears of grief almost welling up and out of his eyes.Then, noticing that the cabbie was quietly watching him from the rearview mirror, he turned his face aside, whipped out his phone, and called Mr. Bay.As soon as Mr. Bay answered, he asked, "How did things go over there? Have you sorted out Zachary Evans yet?"He was waiting for Jacob to ask Don Albert for help so that the latter would pressure Zachary into posting a statement retracting his previous claims.However, Jacob knew full well that there was no hope for
