Chapter 11

Penulis: 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 6933

    In his mind, Charlie did agree with Vera's theory, and he sighed, "The Four-Sided Treasure Tower must be trying to send me a message, but I'm not sure if it's meant for the entity's benefit or mine."Yes, it taught me the hand seals that generate Reiki, but the Reiki isn't just unusable—it devours the rest of my Reiki once it's charged. If there's any semblance of intention from the entity, then it's by using that hostile Reiki as a parasite to devour my Reiki, and that's going to be a serious problem in the future."Vera smiled, "No. You're of the Ascended Dragon Fate, and even luck seems to always side with you. It's not as risky as it sounds, and it may even present an opportunity in the future."After a slight pause, Vera continued, "I know your Reiki wasn't easily generated, but I still suggest trying the hand seals that the Four-Sided Treasure Tower taught you. What is it if not a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, after all?"Charlie stayed silent for a while, but he eventually

    Naturally, that further proved Charlie's theory that the entity had something to do with the Four-sided Treasure Tower.Could it be the Buddhist technique of cultivating Reiki? Why else would there be so many complex hand seals?Still, Charlie was now wary—it was exactly because he had practiced the hand seals before that the entity had had the opportunity to take him for a ride.With that many more hand seals on those murals, wouldn't he end up making things worse for himself if he kept practicing those hand seals?With that in mind, Charlie withdrew his divine sense, intent on never visiting the Four-sided Treasure Tower again or using the hand seals it had taught.That way, he wouldn't get fooled again.Still, it soon occurred to him that while he had no idea what the hand seals were for or if it boded ill, he could return to the interior of the Four-sided Treasure Tower whenever he wanted.As such, he committed each hand seal to memory without delay, until each sequence was

    Having realized that the entity in his sea of consciousness originated from the Four-sided Treasure Tower, Charlie quickly strode toward the tower itself and gently touched it.At the same time, he was keeping watch on his own sea of consciousness, waiting for the entity to recognize the timing and leave.Instead, it stayed still—almost as if it had disappeared into thin air, which then made him realize that it didn't want to go back."Wait," he muttered under his breath, "Are you trying to stay inside me?"With that in mind, he extended his consciousness inwardly, cutting himself off from any external stimuli.But even as he searched his sea of consciousness, he noticed that the entity was really gone with the wind, leaving no trace to be found.As for the Four-sided Treasure Tower, it was also dormant after he infused his Reiki, showing no reaction at all.That left Charlie apprehensive—the entity had absorbed a ton of his Reiki, yet it could suddenly disappear like a tiny par

    #Fortunately, there was a car waiting outside, so Charlie didn't have to ask Albert to pick him up as he went to the airport with Vera.It was then a thirty-minute flight before touching down in Eastcliff.There was evening snow that was slowly getting heavier, covering over 10cm on both ends of the runway, so the city was cold for once.Even so, Emmett was there, waiting to receive them, and he came up as soon as they disembarked."Ms. Lavor, Mr. Wade, the archaeology department has sent word, and we can go right now."Charlie nodded respectfully. "Thank you!""It's nothing, Sir. It's my job," Emmett nodded in turn.He was grateful toward Charlie and would have helped even without Vera asking.They quickly got into the three-car convoy, heading straight toward the suburbs of Eastcliff.To Charlie's surprise, the Four-Sided Treasure Tower wasn't stored at a museum, but in a military base.After all, it was too valuable, as it carried equal importance as the Oskia Imperial Jad

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 6929

    #Charlie immediately agreed with Vera's suggestion to visit the Four-Sided Treasure Tower. Even if he wasn't sure if anything linked the hostile Reiki generated from the hand seals with the Four-Sided Treasure Tower, there was no question that the hand seals pattern that appeared in the aurora that day shared the same cultural origins as the Four-Sided Treasure Tower.Charlie wasn't all that knowledgeable about such things aside from his encounters with the fake nun at the Quiant Monastery, which was why he suspected the Four-Sided Treasure Tower now.There was also something else he hadn't told Vera, since he couldn't be sure if it had anything to do with the Four-Sided Treasure Tower and the hostile Reiki.But one thing was for sure: the entity that had stolen his Reiki was still in his sea of consciousness.He would have nothing to worry about if the entity simply absorbed his Riki like the ring had—all he had to do was make sure he didn't fall for it again.But not this enti

    Still, Charlie soon thought of something. "By the way, you once mentioned cultivators who failed transcendence and were reduced to Divergents. Could they perhaps exist like ghosts, in a separate plane from humans or cultivators who lack the ability to see them? In that case, could one be targeting me?"Vera shook her head. "The idea of Divergents can be found in certain texts, but I have no actual proof they exist. Moreover, the success of the trial of transcendence has always been a fixed one percent—on the other ninety-nine, you're going to be blown to bits. If anything, the chance of freeing your soul in time right before the trial bolt vaporizes your physical body is definitely less than one percent."In that sense, don't you think it's unlikely we actually run into one at all? They are called Divergents precisely because they diverge from the path of Transcendents, but they are undying entities that only exist next in power to cultivators who successfully transcend."Holding Ch
