Chapter 11

Auteur: 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 7763

    To ensure the ancient cultivators' plan in setting up all the different portals, Charlie solemnly examined the clues.He needed to confirm one thing—the portal required copious amounts of Reiki to run, just as each time Vera's ring teleported him. It needed all the Reiki it drained from him up until that point.Moreover, even knowing each teleportation burned through a lot of Reiki, he still couldn't be sure that the distance of teleportation affected the amount of Reiki used. If it were a case-by-case basis, then intercontinental teleportation needed more than several times the amount of Reiki he used to teleport from the Champs Elys Resort to the Scarlet Pinnacle Manor.There was also the issue that thousands of ancient cultivators must have used those portals freely every day, which means they must have been used thousands of times every day… The volume of Reiki required could well drain the planet dry.That alone meant the cost of building and maintaining the portals was astron

    Charlie thought that since Aurous Hill was east of Crane's Cry, he could try to see how far the portal to the east was from Aurous Hill.Hence, he didn't wait; he moved to the east-side portal and thought of the mental incantation for it.Golden light flashed, and when he opened his eyes again, he was once again within an artificial cave.He stepped out and saw that it was once again daytime in the middle of a springtime forest. The only difference is that the geographical features meant it wasn't Hearth's Cry, and the hills didn't look Oskian—more volcanic.Charlie hence whipped out his satellite phone and checked the GPS locator to see that he was on Mount Ontake, Japan.It was one of the nation's holy mountains and a religious spot, and the origin of Shintoism.Charlie hence wondered why those ancient cultivators would build a portal in Japan… Unless it was where they were active too?After all, he was under the impression that all portals led to Oskia, only for the portal to

    Charlie quickly passed through the cavern chamber and the tunnel, and soon found the cavern entrance.It must be daytime as it was really bright outside, and the warmth meant it couldn't have been the South Pole. As Charlie approached the cave entrance, he suddenly recalled the embarrassing scene of being teleported by Vera's ring for the first time. He immediately looked down at himself, and was relieved that things were different now. The first time the ring teleported him, Coldie's self-destruction had ripped his clothes to shreds, leaving him completely naked when he teleported to Vera's side. This time, not compelled by danger to teleport, even his clothes and belongings were sent here with him. If anything, after his bloody battle with Barlin, his clothes were a little shredded by Barlin's Infinite Sword technique. Along with all the cuts and gashes, he was quite the gruesome sight, so he thought to himself that it would be best to stay away from other people in case he

    Charlie himself had been to many cultivator temples, but not one had such vivid sculptures. After all, everything from posture, facial features, facial expression, down to their limbs was sculpted to perfection. They looked more real than the person, projecting both authority and compassion as if they really were smiling at Charlie.Charlie had no idea how Buddhism was linked to Daoism, and he himself leaned toward cultivator legacies that he inherited. So in his heart, the Trinity were his progenitor mentors, which was why he bowed in front of all three statues piously before he left.However, just as he was about to leave, a circle shimmering with golden light and inscribed with numerous runes suddenly appeared beneath his feet. As the circle flashed, its golden light illuminating Charlie's body intensified, and it became blinding. Suddenly, Charlie could no longer see himself, only the golden light.In an instant, Charlie suddenly felt as if his body had been instantly draine

    As Charlie tread alone through the unblemished ancient streets, he was all the more shocked.Over dozens of thousands could live here considering the scale of the city, and he couldn't imagine that many cultivators living here in the same place when you couldn't even gather hundreds of them these days.After walking around the city, Charlie was as shocked as he was disappointed—aside from the furnace that couldn't be moved, there was none of the infinite cultivation treasures Barlin had expected.There just wasn't a single mystic pill, mystic relic, or even cultivation manuals. Aside from the dense Reiki in the air, there wasn't anything that helped cultivation.And that left Charlie utterly confused. Considering the caliber of cultivators before the Degenerate Age of Dharma, why didn't they leave anything behind? Could they have taken everything with them when they left? That didn't make sense—with the amount of Reiki generated to keep this massive city running, personal prope

    Charlie gingerly opened one of the doors—it wasn't locked, and had no lock mechanisms at all.Further inside, there weren't even door frames.It was around three thousand square feet—a modest size for a residence, and there just wasn't anything to be found. No laundry area, no storage for food, and certainly no cages where livestock were kept.In fact, there wasn't even a well—it was all clean marble tile floors, the building itself and nothing else.Charlie strode past the courtyard toward the row of three buildings. He looked into the main building first, but there wasn't any furniture, only exquisitely woven straw mats, circular meditation pads for cultivation.The buildings to the left and the right didn't even have a bedroom in the traditional sense. There was only a sealed chamber for cultivation in the building to the left, and a crib to the right, as well as some wooden toys.Aside from newborns, Charlie had the feeling that those living here would have reached high cul

    Olivia was surprised and asked, “You’re not planning to kill him, are you? Although the Wade family is far away in Oskia, we will get into trouble if we really kill their people!”“No.” William waved his hand and spoke up, “I wouldn’t be stupid enough to kill him in Northern Europe. I just want to te

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 3496

    Charlie had long thought of a full set of plans to deal with these treacherous members from the Wade family’s collateral families. This was also the reason why he had rushed all the way back from Northern Europe directly without stopping. He wanted to deal with all these collateral families at one g

In contrast, Steven’s time being locked up at this dog farm was still considered calm and peaceful.Although his personal freedom was restricted and his living con

    At this time, Sheldon let out a long sigh and said very seriously to Porter, “Porter… what Charlie said just now is right indeed… Your parents’ deaths were not related to and have nothing to do with his father at all…”Porter was in tears as he asked, “Uncle Schulz, my father went against Curtis Wade
