Chapter 11

作者: 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 voice on the other end replied, "Speaking. To what do I owe the pleasure, Mr. Mitsui?"Yoshitaka's brother growled low, "I'm not the one looking for you. It's Yoshitaka."Beside him, Yoshitaka reached out and snatched the phone, snapping at once, "You really don't know what's good for you, do you? Sending assassins after my guest?! How dare you?!"Yukihiro cleared his throat in embarrassment on the other end, "Mr. Mitsui, Tanya is the one we're after, and she's American—is she really your concern?""You fool!" Yoshitaka bellowed. "She's not just my guest! She's signed under the Universal Music label! I'm one of the shareholders, and you say she's not my concern?!"Pausing, his voice turned cold as he threatened, "Don't waste my time. You have two options—rescind the bounty and tell every Yamaguchi to stay away from Tanya, or you will all be enemies of the Mitsui Group! If you refuse, I will make sure that the Yamaguchi-gai will be rooted out entirely!"Yukihiro sighed. "This

    As the biggest mob organization in Japan, the Yamaguchi-gai had dozens of thousands of members, holding strong social status and influence over Japanese society. It was even alleged that their business scale had reached sixty billion back in 2014.Naturally, the figures were hardly precise as the media had deliberately inflated their strength for sensationalism. They did so by counting every business affiliated with the Yamaguchi-gai to get those numbers.For example, take one of the hottest Tokyo red-light districts, which the mob only had significant control over but did not actually completely own. It supplied a hundred million USD in yearly revenue but was summarily put on the Yamaguchi-gai's ledgers. Even if they considered the red-light district a company subsidiary, it meant the Yamaguchi-gai still didn't own all the shares of said subsidiary—60%, at best.Moreover, the revenue was just the total earnings without including operating costs like rent, raw ingredients, alcohol

    Charlie walked over to Tanya, taking eyeliners and makeup brushes from the dressing table as he said, "Someone in America has put a bounty on you worth a billion dollars, so you're still under threat in Japan until you can reach Oskia."You and Trevor must therefore follow my instructions to the letter if you want to live—do whatever I tell you to do, go wherever I tell you to go, and don't ever question me. Understand?"Taya's face was pale as she blurted, "A-A billion… Just to kill me?!""Yes," Charlie replied, nodding. "Are you shocked by that amount of money? Hell, it's the first time I've ever heard someone wanting a woman dead for that much money. You might even make a Guinness World Record if you reveal that after your retirement."Tanya smiled wryly. "I'm sure the money isn't because I'm worth that much. They're worried that I'd talk too much and reveal their dirty secrets if I stayed alive…"Beside her, Trevor quickly said, "Well, since they want you dead so badly, you ju

    Hearing that Charlie was willing to help, Nanako was relieved and quickly said, "Don't worry. I'll send Hanzo over to you in Tokyo Dome. Should I tell Kokomi, too? So that the Mitsuis will fully cooperate?""Sure," Charlie nodded. "Give Kokomi the full picture. I'm going backstage to Tanya. If the bounty is revealed and her entourage finds out, things could get worse."Pausing, he then added, "Also, warn the Mitsuis not to call the cops. I know how efficient and the standard in which they operate here in Tokyo, and they could make things worse too.""Understood," Nanako quickly nodded. "I'll contact Kokomi right now!"With that, Charlie hung up and hurried backstage.The dome was circular, with the concert stage on the northern end, while Charlie's VIP box was in the southern end.It was a little far, so Charlie ran at top speed to avoid any surprises, all while calling Claire.Once she answered, Charlie spoke calmly, "Hey, Dear. You should go back to the hotel with Loreen later

    Charlie pursed his lips. "Well, that complicates things."That's a huge bounty, and with the dead or alive clause, people are going to die trying, since it would mean a life of luxury for their family. Even the Mitsui bodyguards might stab Tanya in the back if they knew how much is being posted… And I know I'm being a pessimist, but even her boyfriend might not be able to resist that much money."At this point, we can't ask anyone for help, whether it's the local police or the American Embassy. If a single person in the building feels like making a billion USD, Tanya's dead."Pausing, he added, "But the Mitsui Residence would probably afford her some safety. They don't care about the money, and they have their own pride to protect. If anything, they would protect her however they can, but their ability to do so is the question.""Yes…" Nanako sighed worriedly. "That's why I asked you for help…""What do you think I should do?" Charlie asked."I-I hope you will protect Kokomi and

    The Iga clan was the strongest shinobi clan, but Charlie had nearly wiped them out in the Tokyo Rumble.The remnants had managed to change their strategy in time, recognizing their position and swearing fealty to the Ito family, sparing them the fate of destruction.Naturally, Tokyo Rumble was itself a clandestine free-for-all among different clans and mob outfits, so not many were aware of the Iga clan defecting.In fact, the Iga clan had actually been planning to buy time through defection and weren't truly sincere until they witnessed Charlie's strength on top of Mount Wintry.Since then, they were unfailingly loyal to the Itos.Be that as it may, soon after the client approached the Ito clan, they issued a billion-dollar bounty. Even Hattori Hanzo, the leader of the Igas, thought it was a great opportunity to make a lot of money. They'd be eating well for decades just from that deal, and it most certainly wouldn't come to them if they missed out this time.However, he promptl
