Cain cried in despair. When the knife touched his forehead, he wailed in pain and even struggled desperately.Albert slapped him in frustration and chided, “Scream again and I’ll castrate your son!”Upon the threat, Cain shivered but stayed still. He gritted his teeth, tears flowing continuously as Albert started carving his forehead.Albert was very quick and precise. Soon, the words ‘the father of the pathetic jerk’ were carved on Cain’s forehead!Cain’s forehead was very bloody and messy as if it had just gone through a chopping board.Marcus was trembling in great fear as he witnessed the entire scene. His father must be feeling extremely painful and miserable as there were so many words carved on his forehead.When the carving was complete, Cain sobbed and asked, “Master Wade, can you please let us go now?”Charlie shook his head. “Do you really think that’s all?”Then, he said to Marcus, “Come on, pathetic jerk, give me your phone.”Marcus quickly took out his latest iPh
Charlie grinned and nodded in satisfaction and said, “Hurry up, let’s start.”Then, he picked up the phone and aimed it at Cain and Marcus.The father and son stood side by side. Wiping away his tears, Marcus managed a smile and said, “Hi, everyone, I am Marcus Lloyd, the pathetic jerk.”Marcus also hurriedly said, “Hi, I’m Cain Lloyd, the father of the pathetic jerk.”Then, they said together, “We’re going to perform stand-up comedy today!”Marcus said, “I bet all of you must have seen these words carved on my forehead. Why, you may ask? Because I am always very arrogant and these words are to remind everyone that they are all pathetic jerks.”Cain continued, “They say, ‘like father, like son’, but in my case, it’s ‘like son, like father’. Since my son has the words ‘pathetic jerk’ carved on his forehead, I can’t let him indulge in the glory himself, so I’m joining the bandwagon and have these words ‘father of the pathetic jerk’ carved on my forehead too.”Marcus said, “Up till
Marcus quickly took over Cain’s remark and exclaimed, “So, if I go to the Webb family, will the old coot want me to be his sugar daddy?”Cain snapped his fingers. “Aha! You don’t say, I think it’s very likely!”Marcus quickly said, “But, Dad, it isn’t okay! If the old coot calls us both dads, what about our generational difference?”Cain thought for a moment and answered, “Yes, what you said is true. I’ll be his sugar grandpa then, is that alright?”Marcus grinned coyly. “Sounds good to me!”Cain said, “In fact, everyone in the Webb family has some sort of fetish. Kian Webb loves eating shit, the old coot loves collecting sugar daddies, even Donald Webb has a fetish too.”“Really?” Marcus asked, “What is it? Does he like eating that sort of thing too?”“No,” Cain answered, “I heard that he was a cuckold when he was young.”“Cuckold? What does it mean?”“It means he has an adulterous wife and he enjoys it! In fact, the more men his wife sleeps around with, the more aroused he i
At this moment, Cain paused for a while and looked around uneasily, then he huffed a breath and continued, “Honestly speaking, Donald’s wife is really beautiful. She was known to be the prettiest in the South Region!”Marcus hurriedly asked, “Do you mean the cuckolding wife whom Donald wanted to sleep with 10,000 men?”“Yes, it’s her!” Cain said with a look of fascination, “I even dreamed of sleeping with her once! Imagine Donald Webb’s wife cheating on him with me, how cool is that?!”Marcus frantically said, “Dad, I heard that she’s okay with all men, may I join you too?”Cain laughed and said, “Of course, son! Let’s go now, shall we? It isn’t even 9 pm yet. If we drive now, we can reach Sudbury by midnight and that’s about time for Donald’s wife to take care of us!”“Wow, awesome!” Marcus grinned excitedly. “Let’s go now!”At this moment, Charlie pressed the stop button and nodded with delight. “Not bad, I think both of you have some talent in stand up. Alright then, you can s
Cain and Marcus Lloyd disappeared from their sight. Albert suddenly found Master Wade’s punishment amusing. He got the two men panicking for the rest of their lives without getting his hands dirty. It was the best punishment for them.At this moment, the five bodyguards were still laying on the floor of the Diamond Room.Albert asked, “Master Wade, what do you want to do with these men? Do you want to kill them, or…”Charlie clicked his tongue and asked, “Hmm, think. Do you have any good ideas?”Albert glared at Johnny with utter resentment and hatred.Never did he imagine that the Webb family would actually kill him.Thanks to Master Wade, he managed to survive. Otherwise, he would have already died in Johnny’s hands!Therefore, Albert’s hatred towards the Webb family had reached its peak in an instant.He wished he could just chop Johnny up into a million pieces right now!He turned to Charlie and said, “Master Wade, leave these guys to me!”Charlie asked curiously, “What d
Four words for the first guy;Five words for the second;Six words for the third;Seven words for the fourth.Since he was the fifth one, did that mean he had to have eight words carved on his forehead?There wasn’t enough space on his forehead for that many words!!Johnny burst into tears and pleaded while wiping his tears and snots, “Master Wade, please forgive me. I’ll be loyal to you, I’ll be your dog, I’ll follow your every demand…”Charlie replied flatly, “You don’t have what it takes to be my dog yet, but if you continue to blabber so much nonsense, I’ll let Albert feed you to his dogs! I always walk the talk, dare me!”Johnny instantly shut his mouth.He was genuinely afraid of Charlie!He didn’t dare blurt a word after Charlie’s threat for fear that Charlie would really kill him!At this moment, Albert picked up the knife from the floor, walked to the first guy, and asked, “Master Wade, what do you want to carve first?”Charlie thought as he said, “It has to be sho
After Johnny kept quiet, Albert dragged the third guy who had volunteered and asked, “Master Wade, what about this one?”“Sean Webb is a butt bandit.”Albert nodded. He relaxed his hand and started carving the six words on the man’s face.Then, it was the fourth guy’s turn.“Master Wade, this time, it’s seven words.”“Hmm… ‘Donald Webb is pathetically weak in bed.’”Albert couldn’t help but chuckle and said, “Master Wade, why can’t we be more direct? Just say he is impotent or has erectile dysfunction.”Charlie waved his hand. “It’s very sensitive, we can’t speak of it so directly, the girls will blush when they see it.”Very quickly, Albert was done with his artwork.The last one left was Johnny.Johnny stared in fear at his brothers and their bloody faces.He was a very proud and arrogant man. His unfathomable strength and power made him think that he was the strongest guy in the world and it slowly became his facade.However, he dared not blurt a word at this moment, oth
But who would know whether they were telling the truth or lying?Albert was a little annoyed by now. He slapped Johnny in frustration and shouted, “Just shut up, will you?! If I hear another whimper, I’ll carve a William Shakespeare play on your whole body!”The slap was so hard, Johnny’s eyes were blank for a short moment. He didn’t dare to blurt another word now, so he cried while enduring the sharp blade dancing on his face.He could feel the sensation of the blade cutting through the skin on his forehead and touching the skin. The immerse pain made him almost faint and the blood was constantly dripping from his forehead that he couldn’t open his eyes.He regretted everything he did today. If he had known what kind of a miserable ending that he would suffer, he would not have agreed to kill Albert regardless of how much Donald gave him…Unfortunately, there was no such thing in the world as a rewind button…At this moment, Donald’s five bodyguards became the human-sized billbo
Julien shook his head and gingerly asked, "Jordan Fox likes his granddaughter?"Charlie smiled, shaking his head. "And your father doesn't like you as his eldest? Admiration is no guarantee of inheritance. And if we're talking about love, is it not a gesture of love that he provided you with endless cash and a life of privilege that only the world's top one percent can enjoy?"Julien also noticed the flaw in his logic. "Then, do you perchance know why, Mr. Wade?"Charlie nodded. "Jordan granted his position to Kathleen because that was the condition I proposed to him in return for prolonging his life. No succession, no pills—no matter how much he was willing to pay me for it."Then, Charlie looked Julien straight in the eye as he continued solemnly, "If the day comes and I find you more reliable, I will choose you as the sole broker for your father's pills. Just think about it—if the day comes that you're the only person your father can get his pills from, would he say no if you as
Charlie chuckled. "You might think that I'm screwing you over, but in reality, I'm indirectly solidifying your place as heir apparent. From what I've learned, your family has not confirmed who it would be."Julien chuckled awkwardly. "You're right, but I am now. With the pills you've provided, however, my father might live longer than me…"Charlie nodded. "Since we have the fortune of meeting over drinks, I shall cut to the chase—to me, it doesn't matter who between you or your father lives longer. My priority is with whom I could hope for a better partnership."And right now, your father has shown more sincerity than you have, which was why I asked Helena to provide him with my pills."Pausing, Charlie then asked, "Are you aware of your father's recent activities? In Northern Europe?""A little," Julien replied. "A data center or something along those lines."Charlie nodded again. "See, I've asked Helena to make him a new offer—I will provide him with one pill should he build an
Charlie had actually invited Julien over to bring him aboard his metaphorical ship.While not particularly down-to-earth, Julien was still the second most important figure in the Rothschild family, and having him on board wouldn't hurt.Moreover, just having drinks with Charlie and Raymond here basically told everyone they were friends. If Harrison knew that Julien was meeting the son of Curtis Wade as well as 'Biden Cole', who had taken the Four-Sided Treasure Tower from the Rothstchilds, he just might have Julien shot.While Julien may not become the head of the Rothschild family anytime soon, he would prove very useful.With Helena basically controlling Harrison and Charlie himself controlling Julien, traveling Stateside would be no different from going home."It seems I must reevaluate my opinion of you now with that attitude."Charlie smiled at Julien and raised his cup, "Come, let's have a toast—to friendship."Julien nodded, picked up his cup, exclaiming cheerfully, "To f
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
