Chapter 11

Author: Lord Leaf
After the three bows, tears were swirling in Harold’s eyes but he didn’t dare to do anything rash now.

He knew that his grandma was very disappointed and agitated at him now, so no matter what, he shouldn’t enrage her any further.

Lady Wilson heaved a sigh of relief after seeing Harold bowing and admitting defeat.

She didn’t wish for his precious grandson to bow his head at Charlie the loser, but they had made a bet that involved her.

She was a very devoted Buddhist. If Harold didn’t keep his promise, she would certainly be so afraid of the retribution and karma to come at her that she would have trouble eating and sleeping.

Thus, she looked at Harold and said flatly, “Harold, treat these three bows as a lesson for you. Next time, don’t bet on something that you have no absolute certainty of. Even if you wish to make a bet, keep your family out of it!”

With a pouty face, Harold grumbled, “Okay, Grandma, I know better now. I’ll never do it again…”

As he spoke, his eyes glared towards Charlie viciously, thinking, ‘You b*stard! How dare you force me to kneel and bow before you. You made me lose face today, I swear I’ll get right back at you sooner or later!’

Then, Lady Wilson stated, “It is a joyful day today, now that Claire has won the contract. Come on everyone, we must hurry and make our preparations now. We must take this opportunity to build a good partnership with Emgrand Group!”

Charlie reminded, “Grandma, since Claire has succeeded in striking the deal, don’t you think you should announce the appointment of Claire as the director of the company as you’ve promised?”

Lady Wilson arched her eyebrows, thoughts were running in her mind.

She did say that whoever won the contract would be appointed as the company’s director.

However, Claire was not her favorite all this while. Her loser husband had always irritated her too and some ideas were slowly brewing in her mind again.

What if Claire got out of her control after she was appointed such a high position in the company? What would she do then?

In that instant, she wanted to withdraw her promise. After all, she didn’t swear on an oath when she made such a promise, so she wouldn’t feel bad at all if she took it back.

However, saying such a statement right after Claire struck the deal would be unwise, so she said, “Let’s do this instead. Tomorrow night, I’ll hold a banquet, inviting all the prominent and influential people in Aurous Hill to the party. At the banquet, I’ll officially announce our collaboration with Emgrand Group and the appointment of the new director.”

Charlie was relieved with satisfaction after Lady Wilson’s statement.

Claire also smiled, reassured. Finally, the position of the director was hers. She didn’t have to be elbowed and isolated anymore, and her parents could finally stand upright and be proud!

Lady Wilson turned to look at Claire and said, “Claire, I need you to do something for me.”

“Yes, Grandma, what is it?”

“I want you to contact the chairman of Emgrand Group and invite him to attend tomorrow’s banquet.”

After a pause, she continued with anticipation, “If he is able to attend our banquet, it will be an extravagant boost to our family! It will also push our name out to the public, making us more famous!”

Claire pondered for a while and said hesitantly, “But… I only met Doris Young, the vice-chairman, I didn’t see the chairman himself…By the way, don’t you think it’s a little too deliberate to organize the banquet when we’ve just gotten the contract…”

“So what? I want to tell the whole Aurous Hill that we’re now bound to Emgrand Group. We’re going to be very successful and rich!”

Lady Wilson continued, “Even if their chairman doesn’t want to come, you can invite Doris Young, it’s the same. She is the second person in charge of Emgrand Group, she would also be an honorable guest to have at our banquet.”

She was already grinning in excitement when she thought of it. She felt her body pumping with hot blood when she imagined how those big cooperates and families who had discriminated against the Wilson family would have to humble themselves and serve under the Wilson family.

The Wilson family would become more brilliant and lavish in her hands!

Claire pondered for a moment before answering gingerly, “Okay, I understand, I’ll try…”

“Don’t try it! You must!”

Claire nodded reluctantly, then turned to Charlie and whispered, “What should I do? What if the chairman doesn’t attend? What if Doris Young doesn’t want to come too?”

Charlie chuckled and said, “Just try and see. You have Doris Young’s number, don’t you? Maybe she’ll agree as soon as you call her, who knows?”

The purpose of the banquet was not only to demonstrate the strength of the Wilson family but also to announce Claire’s promotion to the director.

As her husband, it would be a joyful event to support his wife and to celebrate her promotion.

At this time, Claire didn’t know that her husband was the chairman of Emgrand Group. She fidgetted her fingers anxiously and sighed before saying, “He is the chairman of Emgrand, I heard that he is some young master from an extremely wealthy family in Eastcliff. This kind of person must be very busy with his daily business, how would he be able to spare the time to attend some whatnot banquet…”

Charlie laughed and said, “I don’t think so. Perhaps he’s someone who spends his time with his wife at home every day, cooking and doing the laundry all day long. Who knows?”

Claire rolled her eyes at him and teased, “Do you think everyone is like you?”

Charlie nodded. “Yes, maybe the boss of Emgrand Group is just like me…”

Claire pursed her lips and snorted, “Cut it out! That’s impossible!”

    Nanako laughed. "Of course I do. He went to Tokyo with his wife to attend Tanya's concert in the first place.""You still love him even knowing that he has a wife?" Kokomi asked. "Doesn't that hurt?""No," Nanako giggled. "If anything, he's heading to a place where no woman can realistically tread, and I'm satisfied just sharing a moment with him in his life."Kokomi's opinion of Charlie elevated further at that. "If you put it that way, I'd like to spend more time with him now…""Then come to Oskia," Nanako told her. "You were saying that he will be hosting multiple concerts with Tanya? Since you're her friend, you can join her in Oskia, and we can meet up.""Really? But I'm worried my father won't allow it…" Kokomi sighed, but quickly said, "Still, I guess I could try and ask!"-It was very late when Yoshitaka returned from Oshino Hakkai, assuring his father that everything was fine without mentioning Yoshiyasu.The samurai's bodies had been dealt with, and the others were h

    Meanwhile, the public had accepted the excuse of a training exercise, and Tokyo was still reeling in the thrill following Tanya's concert.Even late into the night, there were cars blaring Tanya's music with passionate fans squealing.And amidst that rowdiness, the police, Mitsui Group, Inagawa-kai, and Sumiyoshi-kai were all working quietly as they did the same thing—dealing with the cold bodies and taking inventory before moving them to burial sites or crematories anywhere else.Even as the backstage of Tokyo Dome was washed and disinfected repeatedly, Kokomi had arrived home, her heart still pumping from the night's excitement.She only got more restless the more she thought about what had happened, and she eventually called Nanako to tell her everything.Nanako wasn't surprised, even telling Kokomi, "You can always trust and rely on Charlie Wade. He saved me just like how he saved you tonight, and it's something that you can't ever forget.""Are you in love, Nanako?" Kokomi a

    Soon, the Tokyo police contacted various media and announced the training exercise on television.TV channels, including NHK, which had just been broadcasting a variety show, suddenly cut off the feed and switched to a news anchor announcing, "Here is the latest news bulletin. At 2235 hours, Tokyo's police forces conducted a counter-terrorism training exercise, aimed at drilling the units' ability to respond to a scenario of retaking Tokyo Dome from hostile forces."No officer participating in said exercise was informed that it was just a drill, and the special forces' ability to respond to sudden threats had been thus demonstrated with flying colors. The training exercise is now complete, and all officers have left Tokyo Dome in an orderly manner. When approached for a statement, the Tokyo Commissioner commended all involved officers with high praise while urging citizens who were previously misled to remain calm."The announcement was also broadcast in different languages for over

    After Charlie returned to his hotel, he received a friend request from Tanya.Once he approved it, she told him that Yoshiyasu had already been subdued by Hanzo and the Iga Ninjas while she, Trevor, and Kokomi had retired to the Mitsui Residence.She also thanked Charlie, who had heard enough thanks for the day.He simply texted back: [It's been a long day. Get some rest.]Tanya would have liked to chat a bit more with Charlie, but she could see that he wasn't interested and replied tactfully: [Yes, Mr. Wade. You should get some rest, too. Thank you very much for today.]-When Charlie returned to the hotel, both Loreen and Claire were refreshing their social feeds repeatedly.Heaven knows what had happened at Tokyo Dome with all those police helicopters hovering around, so speculation naturally veered toward an incident, or they wouldn't be there for no reason.Seeing Charlie, Claire quickly asked, "Dear, did something serious happen at Tokyo Dome? There are so many videos of

    Kokomi shook her head. "It's no issue. "I'll just take you out from the other end."Charlie nodded at that. "Thank you, Ms. Mitsui."Kokomi then turned to her father and the Tokyo Commissioner, "Sir, if you don't mind, could you inform your officers not to intervene while I leave with Mr. Wade?""Of course," the Tokyo Commissioner replied.He actually still had no idea who Charlie was, but he wasn't going to press the issue when even Yoshitaka was being that polite around him.After Kokomi led Charlie and Kathleen to the exit on the other end, no officer tried to stop them or question them under the Tokyo Commissioner's orders.When they reached the exit, Kokomi bowed at them respectfully and spoke politely, "Thank you, Mr. Wade and Mr. Fox. I'll see you around!"Charlie nodded. "Thank you, Ms. Mitsui. You should rejoin your father."After parting ways with Kokomi, Charlie and Kathleen left Tokyo Dome together, with Kathleen sighing, "Without you around, this incident would hav

    The more they spoke, the less Charlie thought of Yoshitaka.Even with his impressive social status and family background, his personal abilities and insight were definitely lacking.Still, considering that Kokomi was Nanako's best friend, he could only see it through to the end.With Tanya's problem solved, he told Yoshitaka, "It's about time to send in your brother."Yoshitaka was immediately thrilled, his jaw tightening as he snarled, "I won't lie, Mr. Wade. I can't wait to see the look of shock on his face!"Charlie, however, wasn't in the mood to stay and said, "I'm sure he can't cause more problems with the commissioner and Hanzo here, so I'm not going to stay.""You're leaving now, Mr. Wade?" Yoshitaka quickly asked."Yes," Charlie nodded. "Do try to clean up well. I'd rather not be bothered by the local police later.""Don't worry, Sir!" Yoshitaka quickly assured him. "I'll definitely clean up properly and not get you into any trouble!"Charlie nodded in satisfaction an
