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!”

    Charlie said, "Tell Fleur that the day will come when I will kill her with my own hands right before making a 1:1 statue of her prostrated before Elijah's grave, just so she can atone!"Despite his shock, Arlo realized right then that Fleur's mysterious foe must be connected to Vera Lavor, whom Fleur had been hunting for so long.In that case, it was not surprising that the man had kept hurting the Qing Eliminating Society however he could.Still, he quickly nodded. "Yes, Sir! Don't worry, I'll definitely pass on your message!"Charlie smiled as Arlo agreed to his request so easily.In reality, he had mentioned Elijah just to confuse Fleur, as it was not yet time to expose himself.While he had indeed revealed himself before Arlo, he was actually disguised with a face mask—Arlo wouldn't find anything even if he tried."You must be very happy to regain a lost hand, right?""I won't lie, Sir!" Arlo nodded, barely containing his joy. "I am overjoyed!"Charlie nodded, but his lips

    Although the palm was miserably small, he could feel the nerves reattaching and tried to move his fingers.He was naturally thrilled to see that he could move those little fingers at will, and he exclaimed before he knew it, "Sir… Your pill… It's a miracle! My entire left hand, which was dismembered, truly grew back! It's unbelievable!"Charlie smiled and nodded as he asked, "Isn't there something you should do now that I've given you something so valuable?"Arlo quickly said, "Yes! Sir, you just need to ask, and I will make it come true as long as it's within my power!"He had made up his mind.If Fleur's mysterious foe was willing to give him such a precious pill, that meant he wouldn't kill him.In fact, offering the pill was most definitely to persuade him to switch sides to become his spy or just whisk him away like he had done with the armed cavalry guards to serve at his beck and call.If he asked Arlo to be a spy, Arlo just had to pretend to agree.If he was going to ta

    Even now, Arlo still wondered if the man before him had actually given him the legendary Regeneration Pill. Just the name alone demonstrated how valuable it was—even a father would sell his own son for it.And yet, Fleur's mysterious foe, who had proven to be the Qing Eliminating Society's greatest threat in centuries, was claiming to have given him one.Even so, once he took the pill, he promptly felt the stump that had been his left wrist suddenly become hot and itchy, and at it immediately felt terrible.Naturally, Charlie wasn't about to show any bedside manners with Arlo like he had done with Merlin or Ito Yahiko. He had made them stay in a tub full of mud before taking the pill so that they wouldn't feel uncomfortable, but he certainly wouldn't afford Arlo such privilege and let him suffer the entire ordeal.Soon, the stump felt like it was being bitten by over thousands of ants—bloating, hurting, and itching all at the same time.Still, amidst the excruciating pain, he su

    Charlie chuckled. "Well, I just came to witness your glorious stature in person, so imagine my surprise that you're now disabled. Must be hard, losing a left hand?"Arlo remained apprehensive, but he feigned composure as he snapped, "Just get on with it. Quit running in circles."Charlie nodded and sat opposite him, smiling, "Alright, I'll be frank. I come offering a boon."Taking out a Regeneration Pill, he then continued. "Look here: this is a Regeneration Pill, and it remolds your body as the name suggests. Forget losing a hand—they could dismember all your limbs, and you'd still grow them back."Arlo's eyes widened at the sight of the pill.Just a moment ago, he had been thinking that the only option for him to be whole again was to get one, and there was no other option.He used to be pessimistic about it since the Regeneration Pill would cost a king's ransom, and besides, how could he ever afford one?"Smiling wryly at Charlie, he said, "Sir, please stop teasing me. The Re

    The first few days following the amputation had been the worst. A person who used to have all limbs intact suddenly had to live without one, so the psychological blow would be monumental.The same went for Arlo. For men like him, the phase up to acceptance of their own disability was grueling, and they almost always fell into a period of slump..Arlo had always been a proud man, too, and having become the governor of the Right Military Governor's Office, he was a man driven with great ambition. That he had suddenly become disabled was like having a bucket of cold water splashed right in his face.But even as he was left fuming and moping, there was a knock on the door.Arlo checked the time and realized that Callum had been gone for over an hour. Presuming that his consul had returned from his task, he quickly said, "Come in. The door's not locked."As the door was gently opened from the outside, he asked, "Did you buy it? Let me try it out."To be honest, he wasn't holding o

    Losing the Moroccan garrison was already a criminal dereliction of duty, and Penny's disappearance only made things worse.Even if Fleur had only demanded that the Three Elders cut off his left hand, Arlo feared it was just the start. If Lady Griffin still felt any lingering grievances, she would just eventually take his head when this crisis is over.That was why he had volunteered to go to Morocco—to demonstrate his willingness to serve Lady Griffin by going to the most dangerous place. By doing so, he could somewhat demonstrate his loyalty to the Lord and at least restore some impression of himself.He was more or less risking his own neck, but he would rather do something than wait for the inevitable in Nigeria. Death at the hands of the enemy would certainly be preferable to execution, anyway, as he would further prove his loyalty to the Qing Eliminating Society and Lady Griffin, who would decree that his successor take good care of his family. He really couldn't say the
