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!”

    However, Ruby knew that even if decapitation and taking the Regeneration Pill would clear the poison in their veins, it would not remove the self-destruct ward in their pineal gland.It was right in the middle of their brains, which was more than what they could hope to regenerate.-The next day, as Charlie visited the Champs Elys Resort again, he brought two improved versions of the Cultivating Pill he had just cooked out of a cauldron.To his surprise, neither Penny nor Ruby took a break last night, as they were both meditating in the room Charlie prepared for Penny.They were both touched to see Charlie, leaving last night and then returning first thing in the morning.Still, Ruby told him, "You don't have to worry so much, Mr. Wade. I'll take care of Ms. Singer.""I'm not worried," Charlie smiled. "Just dropping by to deliver presents."Both ladies were confused as to what present he brought them, while Charlie never said it either.Instead, he told them, "Sit down in med

    After helping Penny settle in, Charlie drove home to Thompson First.In the first place, the Champs Elys Resort was on the outskirts of Aurous Hill, and between Luketown and Thompson First, so it didn't cost Charlie much time.After he left, Penny asked Ruby respectfully, "How long has it been since you came, Ms. Chain?""It hasn't been that long," Ruby replied. "I was just lurking nearby when Coldie Chardon blew himself up, and I was struck by the shockwave with fatal injuries. It was Mr. Wade who saved me.""Blew himself up?" Penny blurted, and quickly pressed, "Do you refer to Lord… I mean, Fleur Griffin's self-destruct ward she cast into our pineal gland?""That's right," Ruby nodded and sighed. "Back then, she told us it's a ward that would save our lives. If we find ourselves cornered and having no chance of winning, we just have to energize the ward, and it will preserve our essence."We had believed her and were even grateful for it, until Coldie Chardon cast it on the ve

    Charlie nodded. "Sure."With that, he, Tanya, and Penny moved to Tanya's suite, having breakfast together before Charlie took Penny downtown for a stroll.It was Penny's first time having a firsthand experience of the city, and she couldn't help being amazed at how great freedom felt.In the afternoon, he took her to the stadium where Tanya would perform her concert.As evening arrived, Penny had a stage-side view of the entire concert. Charlie could tell the concert really rocked her senses, since she wouldn't have a chance to see performances like this.-Over the next few days, Penny tagged along with Charlie wherever he went, never straying more than ten yards away from him.It was worth mentioning that she did so of her own accord, without Charlie requesting anything.As for Tanya, she had once again put on sublime performances for her concert.She remained in Luketown for a couple of days even after the last concert, livestreaming to promote the city for free.After a

    To Charlie, helping Penny find her Sea of Consciousness was just a matter of thought.But for Penny, it was providence.Seeing that she reached her Sea of Consciousness without issue, he used his divine sense to warn her, "Stay here and cultivate properly. Don't get distracted—I'll take you back to your room to rest."Understanding Charlie's intention, Penny kept her divine sense in her Sea of Consciousness as she replied, "Thank you, Mr. Wade!"Charlie then withdrew his divine sense from her Sea of Consciousness, the room silent around them.Tanya was still drunk and sound asleep, while Penny had sat down, crossed her legs in meditation, and remained in her own Sea of Consciousness.Charlie gently picked her up, carried her to her room, put her to bed, then left the room and closed the door behind him.He then moved Tanya to the couch and, once he was done, returned to his own room.-The sun had risen when Tanya stirred.She felt dazed from head to toe, but managed to sit u

    In that very moment, Penny felt herself pressed against a tremendous pressure that could crush her consciousness at any moment.Fortunately, Charlie was keeping her protected, his voice ringing in her very mind just as she was about to break, "Don't worry. Leave everything to me."Soon, Penny felt a great wave of Reiki enveloping her completely like one would swaddle an infant, making her feel safe from head to toe.Then, she felt Charlie pulling her divine sense down the depths of her Sea of Consciousness.She actually thought they would take their time diving, and hence didn't expect the realm around her to change dramatically the instant her divine sense hit the bottom.Suddenly, the depths were the skies, as if they had passed through an entrance into another world.They were suddenly up in the air, looking up at a bright blue sky in a realm with only sea and sky.It was a silent realm without clouds, and the azure waters below were also serene—aside from a little wave kicki

    The Sea of Consciousness was like that one place you often heard of, but never had a chance to visit.And like an otherworldly paradise, people couldn't help imagining visiting it.Having been a cultivator for two years now, Penny's understanding of Reiki and the discipline itself was lacking despite her prodigious talent. She wanted to venture into her Sea of Consciousness too, but just couldn't reach it.Now that Charlie said he would help, she was naturally thrilled and replied respectfully, "Thank you, Mr. Wade!"Charlie nodded. "With the Moutai, I dialed up your endoscopic ability—the energy of the alcohol guided your divine sense to venture deeper, showing you where to direct your endoscopic ability. "However, your divine sense isn't strong enough and you'll have trouble diving deeper anytime soon by your own strength… Even so, you should just keep going. Follow the energy signature of the alcohol, and I'll give you a push if you start stalling."A person's divine sense mi
