The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 5839
Charlie nodded and said, “Then, let's park the car at the entrance of the village and walk down.”“Great!” Vera was already eager. After wandering around for more than three hundred years, this place was still her favorite, and it was the place she missed the most.Charlie followed Vera’s guidance and parked the car by the roadside a few hundred meters from the village entrance. He then grabbed the camping gear and walked down the hillside with Vera to the edge of Heavenly Lake below.Vera walked nearly two miles along the edge of Heavenly Lake under the moonlight and starlight, and she finally located the exact spot where the Mother of Pu’er Tea had grown.She pointed to a slightly elevated patch of barren yellow soil on the shore and said, “That spot should be where the Mother of Pu’er Tea originally grew.”After looking around, Charlie noticed that under the moonlight, the surroundings were filled with grass and trees except for this barren patch of land with a diameter of over

When Charlie saw Vera's horrified expression and noticed her rare nervousness as she spoke, he quickly asked her, “Miss Lavor, what do you think this is?!”Vera didn't speak. Her eyes were fixed on the rapidly thickening dark clouds in the sky. She murmured, “Well, these clouds seem chaotic, but there's a vague complex pattern to it. It feels… it feels like the Hexagram of Thunder from the Book of Changes and the Eight Diagrams…”“Hexagram of Thunder?” Charlie was shocked, and he exclaimed, “Do these clouds really represent a hexagram?”Vera nodded, murmuring, “The Hexagram of Thunder is always intricate. Ancient people would say ‘Thunder comes with trembling and laughter; it startles for miles without losing its essence’. When this hexagram appears, it signifies that something unexpected is about to happen, and it must be an earth-shattering event!”Charlie was even more surprised and couldn't help asking, “Who has the ability to use clouds in the sky for divination?”Vera looked

Vera instantly burst into tears. She pointed to the bare ground beneath her feet and said with extreme excitement and nervousness, “I know who is seeking help! It's her! It's the Mother of Pu’er Tea!”When Charlie heard this answer, he was even more puzzled. “Didn't the Mother of Pu’er Tea fail to overcome tribulation three hundred years ago? How could she be seeking help from us now?! Besides, she's just a tree, how could she use clouds in the sky to seek help from us?!”Vera murmured, “I don’t know the reason and I can understand your doubts, but I can feel that familiar feeling. It’s the Mother of Pu’er Tea…”Charlie said, “Okay. Let's assume you're right and it’s indeed the Mother of Pu’er Tea who is seeking help from us through the clouds. But what exactly does she need us to do? How can we help her?”Vera also felt anxious as she said, “I don't know… I can only sense that she's seeking help. This constantly changing hexagram gives me the feeling that she's trapped in this Hex
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 5842
Vera's words shocked Charlie! He also felt that there were many coincidences in this situation. Why did such eerie dark clouds suddenly loom overhead? Why did the clouds also present the image of the Hexagram of Thunder? Why were there no thunder and lightning in the clouds? Why did it happen to appear where the Mother of Pu’er Tea failed to overcome her tribulation years ago? Moreover, he had just used the Thunderstrike wood formed by the Mother of Pu’er Tea's branch to create a brand new Thunder Order. With so many perplexing elements coming together, Vera's speculation was the only answer that could solve all the mysteries.With these thoughts in mind, Charlie blurted out without hesitation, “In that case, I'll summon a heavenly thunderbolt to these vast clouds!”Vera nodded vigorously, and her eyes were filled with anticipation as she said, “The Mother of Pu’er Tea and I have some connection. I hope you can lend her a hand, Young Master!”Charlie took out the Thunder Order

As the two of them stood still, the thunder at the center of the black clouds hung over the bare yellow soil.Just then, a bolt of lightning as thick as a bowl descended from the black clouds and struck the yellow soil directly.In an instant, the sky suddenly lit up as bright as day, and the sound of the thunder was so loud it felt like tons of explosives detonating right next to their ears, deafening them.Along with this lightning bolt, the heavy clouds that had been building up for a long time released a torrential downpour, with rainwater forming continuous lines from the sky to the ground.Charlie and Vera had nowhere to hide and were completely drenched from head to toe in an instant.Despite being soaked, Vera ignored it and hurried toward the patch of yellow soil where the Mother of Pu’er Tea had failed to overcome her tribulation.Charlie, taken aback by her actions, shouted, “It’s dangerous, don't go!”As he tried to pull Vera back, she showed no signs of retreat. She

At this moment, Vera's thoughts were focused entirely on the sapling in front of her. She knelt on the ground and looked at the sapling without blinking with a look of excitement on her face.Charlie, who was standing by her side, looked at the lush sapling, utterly perplexed.Charlie felt like his brain circuits weren't quite enough. He couldn't understand why after a heavy rain, all traces of the rainwater had vanished without a trace.The nine years of compulsory education he had received only left him with a few words in his mind at this moment: ‘This isn't scientific. This isn't scientific at all.’ He looked all over himself, from head to chest, from chest to back, from back to ankles. He even couldn't resist taking off his shoes and touching the insides of his shoes as well. However, everywhere his fingers touched was completely dry, without a trace of him having been exposed to the rain at all. The same went for Vera.Charlie vividly remembered that Vera's hair was somew

Charlie said seriously, “I think cultivation can also be explained scientifically. It's just that our current level of technology hasn't grasped the principles behind it yet. Reiki is just a higher form of energy, like atomic energy. When people hadn't mastered it, they found it incredible. Presumably, at that time, no one would believe that a kilogram of nuclear fuel could release energy equivalent to several thousand tons or even millions of kilograms of coal. Reiki might be a form of invisible energy similar to nuclear fuel.”Vera smiled and said earnestly, “What you said makes sense. Perhaps Reiki is indeed as you say, another higher level of energy that most people haven't mastered or studied its principles.”Charlie continued, “Even Reiki still has to follow the law of conservation of energy, right? There was so much rain just now. The rain stopped, but the water is still there—that's energy conservation. But now, where did the water go?”With that said, Charlie continued, “Mo

Charlie was slightly taken aback, and he gave Vera a thumbs up, exclaiming, “Miss Lavor, you're truly bright! I pretty much understand what a Transcendent is now after hearing your explanation.”Charlie then looked at the sapling again and asked her, “Miss Lavor, are you sure this is the Mother of Pu’er Tea?”Vera nodded firmly and said, “Absolutely! Her aura is exactly the same as the Mother of Pu’er Tea's. In addition, taking all the coincidences just now into consideration, I can confirm without a doubt that this is definitely the Mother of Pu’er Tea.”Charlie nodded slightly and muttered, “If that's the case, does it mean the Mother of Pu’er Tea has become a Transcendent among the trees?” Vera didn't hesitate to say, “That's pretty much what it means, but the concept of Transcendents is just some rumors I've heard of before. I haven't had the chance to verify them. So, all of this is just my speculation.”Charlie nodded and squatted down beside her as he looked at the sapling

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

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
