Chapter 11

Autor: 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!”

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 7751

    Feeling his death approaching, Barlin was now completely at wit's end.He had focused his Reiki into a barrier around him, but it was not completely blocking the damage from Charlie's Thunder Order because he had almost no Reiki left.Thunder Order was nothing like it had been before.Charlie's cultivation had advanced significantly, and the Thunderstrike Wood from the kombuc tree had elevated Thunder Order's power to an entirely new level. Against an ordinary person, or even a lower realm cultivator, a single bolt of lightning would have been enough to reduce them to ashes on the spot.Yet Barlin, relying on his formidable cultivation and the Reiki exchanged from burning his essence, had endured several bolts of lightning and still managed to cling stubbornly to life.However, losing a limb was a huge drop in combat ability and in his ability to defend himself, leaving him completely at Charlie's mercy.His voice cracking even as he lost his sanity from sheer horror, he told Cha

    Barlin burst into tears right then, devastated as he cried, "Yes, I lived over a hundred years, but I've only lived like a normal person for about 20 years. The rest of my time has been spent cultivating my spiritual path in seclusion. How could I possibly have time to understand or engage with this world? Especially this modern, technologically advanced society, where everything is so revolutionary and groundbreaking…" Charlie sneered. "Choosing to cultivate and go into seclusion for a hundred years is your choice, not mine. Go take it up with Hades when you see him!" Barlin was horrified and kept crying, "Please, my friend… Oh! You despise Fleur, don't you? Do you want to know the secrets of the Qing Eliminating Society? I swear by the cosmic order that if you spare my life, I will tell you I know about her and the Qing Eliminating Society, including the location of the Qing Eliminating Society's headquarters! Everything, without holding anything back!" Swearing to the cosmos w

    Although Charlie's pills were nearly depleted, he felt a surge of confidence.Still, he had no idea what had stopped Barlin's flying sword. In fact, he was completely protected from the seemingly unstoppable technique, Not only that, Barlin's flying sword had been completely shattered, reduced to dust.Moreover, Barlin was already low on Reiki, and had burnt through his essence trying to kill Charlie. Now that he had lost his flying sword as well, the situation had turned completely against him.With Charlie replenishing his Reiki with two pills this time, he now had an absolute advantage in both physical and magical items.Barlin, on the other hand, was in dire straits.He presumed the Infinite Sword would kill Charlie instantly, only for things to turn completely.That was just how things were—a single decisive moment that decides the entire outcome of battle, and thus the war. One can have both numbers and advantage, but one single moment can cancel it all out just like how

    The dust in the air was ice shards due to the collision on the ice cap, but it was also fragments of Barlin's flying sword, as well as the vestiges of its clones.Even then, Barlin wasn't aware that he couldn't feel his flying sword because it was completely destroyed.As the polar gales blew and the dust settled, he thought he'd never forget what he was seeing for the rest of his life: Charlie, standing his ground.Despite being far inferior in cultivation—despite his violent assault… Charlie was still alive, while his flying sword was nowhere to be seen!However, Charlie was not in good shape either.His clothes were shredded, and he was bleeding from hundreds of cuts, with the blood coagulating as soon as it hit the polar air that was at least seventy degrees below.Either way, he was a tragic sight.Still, Barlin was gaping at him, and bellowed, 'Where's my sword, brat?!"Charlie looked at Barlin, and then at himself.He was just as shocked as the geezer, but he was calm—w

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 7747

    Barlin found himself unable to comprehend Charlie, but his confusion soon faded as he could feel his triumph at hand.Knowing that Charlie was inferior in cultivation but still beat the four earls, it was clear that his mind was sharp enough to cover for his lack of actual strength. If anything, he could have a ton of cultivation resources like pills and mystic treasures, so Barlin was ready to loot his corpse dry once Infinite Swords destroyed him.He had been burning through his own essence to increase his combat ability, which degraded his cultivation especially after consuming so much Reiki for days now. He urgently needed Charlie's pills to replenish it!On the other hand, Charlie wasn't even fighting back.Barlin's technique was augmented by burning his essence in exchange for Reiki, and Charlie's clothes were shredded even before the swords reached him, his skin flaring up as if it had already been sliced through.Realizing that he couldn't stop it, he didn't try as it'd ju

    Even then, the drawback was clear—if the real flying sword hit, it was going to tear through him like he was completely defenseless.It was dangerous, but he was really out of ideas.Barlin himself knew that Charlie's death was assured by his combos, and hence still felt delighted, even though he had burnt through much of his essence. Rearing his head and laughing thunderously, he bellowed just as his flying swords would shred Charlie, "Well, you had your chance! Rest in pieces, brat!"Charlie wasn't afraid because he knew he wouldn't die—having Vera's ring meant the worst for him was merely experiencing the pain of death."You wish!" He snapped back coldly, bracing himself.Planting his rump on the ice, he gathered Reiki all around his body to brace against the countless flying swords, and they reached him in the blink of an eye!It felt like being shot countless times while wearing a bulletproof vest—his guard was tough, but was also quickly being shredded by the countless fl

    “Peyton Sate?”Spencer was a little surprised, and he asked, “Who is Peyton Sate ?”The butler hurriedly explained, “Peyton Sate is a director of our business team. Yesterday, you said you wanted to buy a Concorde. He’s one of the people who are in charge of this.”Spencer wrinkled his brow and asked,

    Charlie was impressed with Janus’s suggestion, and he exclaimed, “Janus, your idea is brilliant! I’ll go with that!”At the same time, Dorothy could not help but say, “Mr. Wade... Didn’t Kazuo just say that that scum, Finley, is waiting for him at the port? Why don’t we catch Homer here and catch Fin

    Kathleen gathered and put together a large pile of information in front of her. She sighed as she said, “I really didn’t expect to have so many things to think about in a small city like Aurous Hill…”She added, “Whether it’s Jasmine Moore, Liam Weaver, or that Kobayashi Ichiro, there must be someone
