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!”

    Charlie shook his head. "That's unnecessary. I've booked tickets for the next evening, so I'm not going to book another flight. I also need to go back and prepare for the concerts, but I shall impose should I ever return."Yoshitaka sighed. "You've saved my life and my daughter's, but you're leaving even before we can thank you properly. It's such a pity…"Charlie chuckled. "Since you insist, you can foot the bill for all of Ms. Sweet's concerts. I'm not worried about how you and Ms. Sweet are going to split the revenue, but I won't be forking out money for any additional expenses."Yoshitaka was really grateful toward Charlie, but he crumbled inside when Charlie finished.He had certainly never encountered a bandit like him who would so boldly and directly convert a favor into cash!Ten million dollars—that was what each Tanya Sweet concert would cost in terms of expenditures, advertisement, and the like. It wasn't inflated either, as each of her concerts included expenses on mus

    Matt was no idiot.Even if Julien was talking down to him, labeling him and his criminal magnates feral dogs, Julien was still trying to tell him that he was the only one who could bail him out at this point.Moreover, Matt himself had so many dirty secrets that if he couldn't kill Tanya, others would be coming for him.But while death was his only escape before, things were different now that someone was willing to 'adopt' him, and it was the heir to the Rothschild family at that.Once he had Julien's protection, no one would ever dare hurt him!With that in mind, he exclaimed excitedly, "Yes, Mr. Rothschild! If you're willing to save my life, you won't hear any argument from me, no matter what you tell me to do!"Julien chuckled, "Alright. In that case, have your plane turn around and return to New York. I'll have my men pick you up.""Yes, I'll talk to the pilot right away!" Matt replied right away.And so, within minutes, the private jet made a full turn around the oceanic

    Charlie replied, "I have no issues with the man, and I'm fine with anything as long as the bounty is rescinded. There's no need to kill him.""Very well. He's quite lucky, I guess," Julien replied.Charlie pointed out, "Well, he must have been pressured terribly, which was why he was so eager to kill Tanya. So, provide asylum, since it might prove useful in the pressure."Julien nodded. "I agree. I mean, all the corrupt magnates and politicians are now panicking with Washington about to turn upside down, and I'm guessing he's friends with a ton of them… I don't mind letting him live, but the issue is I'm not sure if he'd cooperate."Charlie chuckled. "Just tell him that when a pack of rampaging feral dogs is rounded up and about to be put down, it's pointless to tear another dog into pieces. In this situation, it's not ferocity that determines survival, but the dog that knows when to tame up and get adopted."Julien chuckled, "Got it, Mr. Wade! I'll tell him that right now. If he

    "Shit!" Matt turned pale as his crimes stacked, immediately uneasy. "Well, I guess the only thing to do is rescind the bounty… But what do you think Julien would do to me?"The blonde lackey pointed out, "Actually, Sir, with Julien making such a statement, our friends will be watching how things turn out from here. So, I'm sure he won't make things difficult if you rescind the bounty in time and apologize to Julien personally… I mean, his reputation would take a nosedive if he didn't honor his own request."The basic logic here is this—you posted the bounty first, and he only made his statement to demand it be rescinded afterward. That's why the bounty wasn't an act of provocation, and if you show him due respect promptly, he should take a step back, too. Don't you agree?"Matt's expression calmed at those words, and he nodded. "That makes sense… I wasn't aware that Tanya was friends with the Rothschilds, or I would have just fled the country and never returned. There's no way I'd

    On the plane, one of the blonde lackeys was just taking a call on a satellite phone, after he made a mad dash to a cabin in the rear, hammering the door and yelling, "Sir! Mr. Finklestein! We're in trouble!"After Matt Finklestein posted the billion-dollar bounty on Tanya, he had gone to bed, awaiting news of Tanya's death.Still, he woke with a start when he heard his lackey's call of distress, and he scrambled to get up and open the door, demanding, "What? Did the bounty hunters screw up too?!""No…"The blonde lackey was shaking his head, on the verge of tears. "Your father just called, saying Julien Rosthichild himself made an announcement amongst the elite circles regarding Tanya!""What?!" Matt exclaimed, his heart skipping a beat. "What about, specifically?!""Well, he said whoever posted the billion-dollar bounty must rescind it right away and personally call him… or if he had to find them, he would destroy them…"Matt's legs almost buckled, but his blonde lackey caught

    Yoshitaka nodded in realization at Charlie's words—it was a simple plan, but he just wasn't thinking.The mob bosses' authority after being sent to prison wasn't based on their influence before they were jailed, but on how much influence they still had after.If Yoshitaka pressured their respective successors enough once Makoto and Yukihiro were incarcerated, their own successors might even send people into prison to kill them. Just making their lives difficult was way easier in comparison!Relieved once he understood the simplicity of the situation, he smiled, "Yes, you're right, Mr. Wade. In that case, I'll just leave them be for now and have their own buddies make life hard for them in prison!"Then, turning to the Tokyo Commissioner, he added, "Commissioner, it's only right that you make the yakuza pay for causing you so much trouble!"The Tokyo Commissioner quickly nodded. "Of course, Mr. Mitsui! They are a lawless bunch that needs some serious correction. In fact, I've alrea
