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 7799

    Even for Charlie and Vera, staying in Antarctica was a bore—even inside this vast and magnificent subterranean city, when there was nothing and no one else around.Fortunately, Charlie wasn't a cultivation fanatic—any other cultivator finding such a place swelling with Reiki, would have devoted every second to cultivation without a moment's delay.And since Vera had expressed a desire to visit America, Charlie naturally indulged her, and they took the portal straight to the fifth floor of the plaza pagoda.Charlie, holding Vera's hand, stepped to the west side portal of the Eight Trigrams. With a thought, when their vision returned, they were already in Sierra Nevada.Emerging from a hidden cave, they found themselves in a valley near Mount Whitney, the highest peak in the United States, surrounded by national parks on both the east and the west.It was dawn in California, with first light emerging from the eastern sky, bathing Whitney Peak in a golden glow. Still, it wasn't that

    Watching as Vera busily plucked the tiny leaves but still couldn't keep up with the numbers growing out, Charlie shrugged. "Come on—just let them sprout for now. There are still eight portals at the plaza pagoda of the subterranean city, and I myself had yet to check them all out. Why don't you join me?""Oh, sure!" Vera smiled and nodded cheerfully. "The kombuc tree is positively blooming here, so there's no hurry trying to pluck all of them. I'll come back later to trim its branches, which you can put in the void pocket—we can make tea with them when we're back in Oskia."Charlie nodded, and took her hand, leading her to the portal at the center of the plaza.He cast the mental incantation in his mind to teleport to the first floor portal of the plaza pagoda… but there was no reaction.He then tried every other floor, but found that only the fifth floor with the intercontinental portals were open to him—he couldn't get on the other floors at all.Even as he was left perplexed,

    While Charlie celebrated Nanako's enlightenment with delight, he could only feel dismay at Vera's inability to attain enlightenment.Someone up there decided to bless Vera with the perfect face, five hundred years of life, the sharpest of wit, and unmatched determination.If anything, such gifts made her appear to be the gods' favorite, but that only made Charlie feel they were unfair to her all the more.After all, she could have grown beyond perfection.If she couldn't attain enlightenment and Charlie himself couldn't make an Infinite Pill in the next hundred years, then Vera's lifespan would be exhausted.Still, Charlie's opinion was that she should live another five hundred, perhaps fifteen hundred years.Unlike Fleur or Marcius, who spent every day seeking immortality, Vera never wasted a single day in her four hundred years—leading a vibrant existence even when she was running for her life.And in Charlie's eyes, a woman like her deserved immortality the most, and it was d

    However, circumstances had changed—not only were the fresh buds of the kombuc tree richer in Reiki, but the numbers also multiplied rapidly.That meant a rich source of Reiki that was almost inexhaustible, and something not to be underestimated. It was something that set it apart from spirit stones, which were exhaustible and probably not many were left on Earth.On the other hand, the kombuc tree leaves would always keep growing.Charlie speculated that the reason the kombuc tree's buds and leaves had become so rich in Reiki after being transplanted was that it had absorbed the ridiculously concentrated Reiki here. He had no way of verifying the exact density of the Reiki here, but judging from the abilities of the cultivators who built this place, he deduced that the Reiki here was practically inexhaustible for cultivators like himself. He felt like an ant who had accidentally discovered a food depot left behind by human civilization when they withdrew from Earth. While the fo

    To move the kombuc tree, Charlie took the soil from his ring and placed it into the center of the marble slabs. When the soil pile was less than six feet from the top, he took the kombuc tree out of the void pocket, gently placing it at the center of the soil. As the kombuc tree roots were brought together with the rest of the tree, Charlie completely covered the roots with more soil. Once he did, he was surprised to see the already lush tree canopy rapidly expanding, with almost twice the number of tender green buds. With the emergence of numerous buds, the trunk and branches of the entire tree visibly thickened instantly, as if it were growing rapidly like a child in puberty. Charlie realized this might be the kombuc tree's own cultivation level. It had grown step by step from a tea tree to reach the Trial of Transcendence, likely transcending painstakingly across different realms. Vera watched in amazement at the fresh buds, murmuring, "This is really the right place for it—

    Seeing that, Charlie finally had a fair idea of how it all worked.As he took objects outside, the nearest tip of the object must not exceed sixty feet from himself.So if it was something like a 150-foot-long log, the far end can be as far as 210 feet, while the nearest must remain within sixty feet of him.If the logs were replaced with a massive steel dome 150 feet in diameter, the dome's maximum coverage distance would reach 210 feet too. But what if it were a giant steel pot instead? Making it some ten feet thick while 240 feet from handle to handle, and with the sixty-foot telekinesis limit, it really covered a length of 300 feet. Within such distances, Charlie could fight if he wanted—or slam the supermassive pot over them if he couldn't. It might crush them like a cockroach, and not even Fleur would be able to escape that quickly… Could she? So if he really found himself losing, he'd just send the pot over Fleur's head, and buy time enough to run away. Most important

    Royce, who was standing nearby, witnessed a textbook fence-sitter. Earlier, his uncles had surrounded Julien so tightly that he couldn't squeeze through. But now, they went to Harrison, and Julien stood there alone, which made him look a little lonely. Harrison couldn't help but feel relieved when h

    Hearing Jacob's tone, Charlie could tell that Jacob must have already learned about Matilda's plans to marry Yolden. So, Charlie said, "I'm just around the corner. I'll head over now, and we can meet at the gate." Choking up, Jacob replied, "Alright, I won't drive then. I'll wait for you at the
