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!”

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 7041

    The samurai who had managed to rally his comrades earlier could see that they were getting restless again, and he yelled, "Gentlemen! What are we if not slaves to our family's fate?! And all we need is to succeed this one time, and they will live happily ever after! What do we have to fear—argh! My eyes!!!"He was halfway through his motivational speech when his vision abruptly turned black amidst a terrible pain.When he reached up, he could feel two solid plastic tubes sticking out of his eye sockets!The other samurai had almost been motivated and ready to follow him for a death charge, only for that rally call to turn into a scream.They turned toward the samurai and were horrified to watch as he bled crimson out of his eye sockets, his screams immediately blood-curdling!It was such a gruesome sight that Yoshitaka retched loudly while Kokomi had to look away in fear.Tanya herself was afraid to even look at the bodies at first, but now, the gruesome sight seemed to invoke he

    When the samurai started charging, they presumed Charlie and the others were victims at their mercy. That was why the ones at the front were only focused on cutting them down and claiming Tanya's head, while the ones at the rear were considering how many more chops they should add on the corpses to display their savagery.And so, none of them expected their helpless victim to fight back with such terrible savagery, knocking down eight of their men in a split second!It only left them further horrified to see that their dead comrades still had their eyes wide open with various cosmetic items sticking out of their heads.The ninjas were the best when it came to wielding sneak weapons, launching shurikens out of their sleeves, and claiming the lives of many unsuspecting victims.However, that still meant a ninja could only throw two shurikens at best—one from each sleeve, meaning that each ninja could at most kill two. None of them could have expected someone to kill eight people with

    The backstage hallway was long and straight, dividing into a Y-shaped intersection with two entrances.However, even with two paths of escape, there was no way of running past the samurai in such a narrow path, while the many rooms down the hallway were enclosed and had no emergency doors from which to escape.Hence, with the samurai cutting them off, they were completely surrounded.On top of that, they had no guns, and with so many people pincering them, each of them fighters who could match the average ninja, there was no escape.Hence, everyone's faces turned ashen, aside from Charlie and Kathleen.Even Yoshitaka, brimming with confidence a second ago, realized in horror that he might really die here.But at that moment, Charlie's eyes flashed coldly as he turned to Yoshitaka, "Can you provide immunity if I kill?""Wait, what?!" Yoshitaka was having a brain fart and was even more confused when Charlie asked something so crazy. "W-What did you just say?"Charlie was left fum

    Yoshitaka turned toward Charlie, keeping his tone especially calm as he said, "Mr. Wade, the bounty was just issued minutes ago—calling the cavalry wouldn't be too late right now. As long as we keep anyone suspicious out, we'd be threatened a lot less."Pausing, he sighed. "You really shouldn't have refused my suggestion. If I had just called a chopper, everyone, including Ms. Sweet, would have been evacuated safely in fifteen minutes. Whatever outfit is coming after us, they'd never reach us that quickly."Charlie growled coldly, "Sure, take your chopper, but Tanya can decide for herself."Tanya quickly said, "I'm with you, Mr. Wade!"Yoshitake cringed a little.He was going to diss Charlie a little and try to salvage some dignity, but he didn't expect that even Tanya wasn't on his side.Hence, he promptly pressed, "Mr. Wade, you just said your people will be coming as phase two of our defense. Where are they now? When can they arrive?""You don't have to worry about that for n

    From Yukihiro's point of view, a little probing would only leave him with a bad taste in his mouth at this point.Yoshitaka would definitely use the Mitsui Group's influence to harass the Yamaguchis in every way, framing it as a campaign against mob violence or even reviving cold cases.It would definitely inflict a lot of losses on the Yamaguchis, if not outright deny them a year's worth of income.Even if they were seething, they wouldn't self-destruct to bring the Mitsuis down, and might even take the insult lying down.However, if they really had to make enemies of Yoshitaka, Yukihiro knew he had nothing to lose.The Mitsuis were the top dogs of Japan, but they did not own the country. Even if they had the money, the Yamaguchis had guns. If they wanted a fight, they had it.And when physical violence was brought to the table, it was Yoshitaka who would have a problem.At this point, Yukihiro was not giving up on the one billion.It was either paying him the same amount or a

    Then, with a flick of his wrist, all the cosmetic items Charlie had grabbed earlier appeared between his fingers.At the same time, the samurai were reaching them, with the handful leading the charge having their katanas raised in the air for a mean swing.Yoshitaka was trembling with rage, but started backward, intent on hiding in the dressing room.Even if the wooden door was not stopping the samurai's katana, he was sure that living one second longer was ideal.However, as soon as he opened the door, Kokomi caught him with a vice-grip and dragged his limp form back to the group, warning him coldly, "You've embarrassed us plenty today, Father. Please show some dignity when it matters!"Yoshitaka was left fuming. "Dignity? What dignity?! We're about to be diced into pieces!"That was when the air swished loudly, as the keen edge of each katana flashed, reflecting the ceiling lights in a confusing dazzle.At the same time, Charlie suddenly spread his arms and leaped forward, the
