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!”

    Seeing Yoshitaka flush, Charlie didn't press the issue and instead turned back to Tanya. "That said, my friend from the States does have influence. I'm sure the bounty is nothing to him."And with that, he whipped out his phone to call his loyal lackey, Julien Rothschild—the designated heir to the Rothschild fortune.Julien had been having a pleasant time lately.With his place as heir now secured, he had also grown closer to Charlie during his time in Oskia, so the only thing that he would want was for his old man to retire.It was morning Stateside, and he was still groggy from sleep as he ate his breakfast.However, all his energy burst forth when he saw that it was Charlie calling, and he answered cheerfully but also respectfully, "Good morning, Mr. Wade. What can I do for you?""Julien," Charlie replied. "Yes, I do need a favor, but I'm not sure you can.""Oh, please!" Julien chirped. "You just need to say the word—anything I can do, I will do it right away. Even if I can't

    "The second option…" Charlie mused to himself for a moment before saying solemnly, "It's to find someone with enough strength to threaten the people who posted the bounty and make them rescind it."Tanya pursed her lips. "That's not a really long list, and there are a lot of people on that list who are also involved in that scandal. Forget helping—it's already a blessing if they weren't accomplices…"Pausing, she then asked, "How about I try to reach out to the president-elect? Make peace, ask for his help?""Making peace is fine, but not at this time," Charlie replied. "First of all, from his perspective, you'd look like you're just using him like a tool to save your own skin. Secondly, he has yet to take office, so his authority is not strong enough. If he pressures the people who posted the bounty on you right now, the people who posted the bounty might not necessarily submit."Moreover, you should know that making peace in this situation is no different from defecting to his

    As soon as they stepped out, the SWAT teams swarmed and subdued them.The Inagawa-kai captain announced, "We're coming out to surrender, Officer! But you have to make sure the Yamaguchi-gai won't shoot us in the back!"Yukihiro himself arrived at the entrance just then and shouted, "Yamaguchi-gai! It's me, Yukihiro! Drop your weapons and surrender! Do not resist!"Being the clear losers of the entire battle royale, the Yamaguchi-gai members were all too happy to be arrested and shouted back, "Yes, Sir! We won't shoot!"Relieved, the Inagawa-kai dropped their weapons and started toward the door.The Bluerockers' leader slipped in amongst the Inugawa-kai and was arrested wholesale.By the time the Yamaguchi-gai members came out, they had been so traumatized from being hunted from the front and back that they were in tears as they were led out.They were veteran gangsters who used to strut in the underworld, but what they were put through today was more than what their minds could

    Yoshiyasu, Yukihiro, and Makoto were left dumbfounded as the Tokyo Commissioner broke the news.Naturally, Yukihiro and Makoto were truly dumbfounded that they had messed up so terribly, whereas Yoshiyasu was just pretending.He had told his samurai to run as soon as they finished their job so that it could never be traced back to him, but that also meant he hadn't received confirmation that they had indeed succeeded.However, he most definitely could believe the Tokyo Commissioner's report—if the man said Yoshitaka and Kokomi were dead, they were definitely dead.Burying his face in his palms, he wailed, "No!!! Yoshitaka… Kokomi! You didn't deserve this… I will definitely avenge you!"Makoto shuddered in fear and quickly said, "L-Listen, Mr. Mitsui. The Yamaguchi-gai got here first, and they stopped my boys from going in. From there, you know for sure that your brother and niece were killed by the Yamaguchi-gai!"Yukihiro was left seething right then—he and Makoto were both goin

    Even as the mob bosses argued furiously, the Tokyo Commissioner had had enough and approached them.Slapping Makoto first and then Yukihiro, he bellowed, "Both of you, shut up! The responsibility is on both your families, so don't think you're getting away for one second! I've already been informed that casualties are in the hundreds, and as the respective leaders of violent gangs, you will both be sentenced short of execution. I will even privately lobby for the courts to send you both to the same cell in the same prison, and you can keep arguing there all you like!"Just hearing that casualties numbered over hundreds and the possibility of a life sentence left both mob bosses in despair and shaking in their boots.They hadn't actually personally overseen their gang's affairs for years now, having delegated everything to their lackeys. Even if they broke the law and someone needed to be punished, they would always make their lackeys do it—mob bosses like them basically stood above

    Just then, two SWAT officers dragged Makoto to the Tokyo Commissioner, announcing, "Commissioner. Takao Makoto of Inagawa-Kai."The Tokyo Commissioner glared at Makoto and growled coldly, "You've had it easy for too long, huh? Or just feeling suicidal?"Makoto quickly flashed an apologetic smile. "Commissioner… Are we sure there hasn't been a misunderstanding?""Misunderstanding, you say?" The Tokyo Commissioner growled murderously. "How many men did you send to kill Tanya Sweet, huh?""Oh, uh…" Makoto trailed off and quickly said, "To tell the truth, I only sent my men after I heard the Yamaguchi-gai were coming, but only to stop the bounty and not claim it. I mean, I'm sure you know by now that some nutjob posted a billion-dollar bounty on the poor girl's head… I mean, a billion US dollars! If the Yamaguchi-gai got it, it's game over for the rest of us!""Bullshit!" An angry bellow thundered just then, and everyone turned to see that it was Yukihiro, who was being brought over
