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 7769

    Meanwhile, at the Norway research base, all three women were sitting around a tea table by the window, looking out from time to time.Vera made tea, but none of them were in the mood to drink.Charlie had been gone for days, and his fate remained unknown. Vera definitely wanted to call his satellite phone, but was worried that might expose him should he be in a risky position, so she could only wait patiently.Ruby and Penny were worried for Charlie too, just like Vera, as he was traveling to the deep south of Antarctica. Still, as Vera didn't express it, it deterred them from doing so too.That was when Vera's phone screen lit up with a news notification.The research station had a Starlink receiver that operates 24/7, and the network here was not much different from that of a modern city. Vera's phone received many push notifications every day, but it was always on silent mode with vibration turned off so as not to disturb Penny and Ruby's cultivation. But just now, the scre

    As for everyone else, Charlie would keep the secret from them for now, judging the situation and then decide accordingly.He then thought he should explore the other levels of the plaza pagoda of the subterranean city too.However, when he tried to exit through the windows around the pagoda, he ran into invisible barriers that he couldn't pass through, preventing him from leaving.He didn't even know which floor of the pagoda he was on, only that there were no stairs or exits. It puzzled him—he had been teleported here by a portal that suddenly appeared in the temple called Trinity Heart, but all nine portals here corresponded to places outside Antarctica. He could go to those nine places located on different continents and in different countries, but he couldn't even leave the pagoda?Even as he was left unsure what to do, a detailed map of the entire subterranean city suddenly appeared in his mind. Moreover, it had eighteen portals marked into it, each usable with a different

    Charlie never expected to travel the entire subterranean city to find nothing, only to discover the spirit stones stored in Vera's ring all this time!And it was no exaggeration to say that it was a generous amount, for after an actual count, Charlie saw that there must be over two thousand!On top of that, every single spirit stone contained a huge amount of Reiki, and at least a dozen times denser compared to the density of Reiki in the Peace and Wealth pebble. The best ones had to be a hundredfold denser too!It was a huge number even for Charlie, and he felt like a wage slave who spent not more than a hundred dollars a day, suddenly inheriting a trillion dollars in assets. With so much Reiki at his disposal, he had no idea what he should even use it for.Naturally, he could directly absorb it, but since coming here to the subterranean city, he had come to realize how much of a waste that was.For cultivators, spirit stones were high-voltage batteries and an omnipotent power

    With that in mind, Charlie examined the ring engraved with the number 2804 on it and murmured softly, "If I were to design this ring, since I have already integrated the teleportation ward into it, I would definitely also integrate a pocket dimension into it, as void storage for any supplies I need to carry. "That way, each cultivator sent out to collect resources would not be a single person, but basically a full transport convoy. They could carry a copious number of resources back to the base through the portal, whether it was stacks of raw tree trunks, tons of boulders, or spirit stones. Anything stored in the void pocket will be brought back with relative ease."Brushing his fingers over the engraving, he murmured to himself, "I wonder if those cultivators were thinking the same thing?Even as he finished, he felt a warmth from the ring, followed by a mental incantation that appeared in his mind.Charlie had no idea what it did, but as he trusted this place, he didn't hesitate

    When Charlie began to speculate that Vera's ring belonged to this place, he suddenly remembered the one function he knew it had.Other functions aside, he knew for sure that once the ring acknowledged an owner, the ring would teleport the owner during his dire moments to the person at the forefront of their mind.In other words, it was meant to save lives—even if one was dying, it would at least grant them the opportunity to see their loved ones one last time.With those speculations in mind, if there really were cultivators laboring like worker ants to scrounge up cultivation materials from across the globe, it was necessary for each person to have such a ring.After all, scouting for such precious resources was itself a risky task. Other cultivators might hunt them down, and with the ring, flight was always an option if fight proved vain—a fail-safe for every cultivator dispatched.And that might be why the ring's serial number couldn't be seen outside the subterranean city, but

    However, the spirit stones were a non-recyclable resource, and competition would have been fierce with the Degenerate Age of Dharma. Those nine portals might be routes that the ancient cultivators used to travel around the world to gather spirit stones, and judging from how they labored to move everything they could to the South Pole, they chose to migrate following the Degenerate Age of Dharma.They had to create a utopia for cultivators, as burning through resources that could match a nation's treasury as they attempted to stave off the decline brought about by the Degenerate Age of Dharma.If Charlie's theory held sway, that meant they were searching for spirit stones across the globe before—or even after—they migrated to the South Pole. They needed a ton of them both to maintain the wards keeping the city portals alive, as well as meet the needs of the thousands of cultivators.That was the most logical explanation of the portal, and Charlie could imagine it in his mind already.

    Meanwhile, Claire was preparing to eat lunch at the company.As there were a lot of official duties and business at the company, Claire would usually not bother to go home to eat at noon. Instead, she would eat takeouts at the company because this would save her more than an hour.She was just about t

    Meanwhile, Kathleen, who was still in the private room, was completely unaware of the events happening outside.After all, they were at a place located next to the national highway. There were a lot of noises since many vehicles whizzed past the area. Some overloaded trucks passed by occasionally, ma

    Many were still stunned from astonishment. Amid this, Travis didn’t hesitate to raise his hand and shouted determinedly, “I’ll pay one hundred million US dollars!”Charlie, who was in the monitoring room, smiled admiringly. “Travis Lane is really smart. He knows because of his lacking finances, he’d
