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 7741

    It happened in just a split second.Before Barlin understood what was happening, a huge lightning bolt descended from the skies, tearing into the ground in front of him.It wasn't just the rumbling—the flash blinded him for moments, and he also felt a terrible, painful jolt in his palm.Then, he felt the current coursing through every muscle in his body, leaving him spasming and sending him flying, while the sword dropped out of his hand.He crashed painfully into the ice, his clothes sheared while his hair and beard burnt to a crisp.He really would have been reduced to dust if his cultivation was not strong enough!The single lightning bolt really charred him—his long hair that looked so divine earlier, was now black soot, while his brows and beard suffered the same tragic fate.Not needing a mirror to know how horrible he looked, he pushed himself to his feet, his beady eyes fixed on Charlie as he growled, "Brat!!!"Charlie simply smiled at him and waved his hand again, yell

    Barlin was gleeful even as he watched Charlie scowl, stroking his beard as he laughed. "Doesn't it hurt you so? Doesn't it frustrate you? Oh, I understand that all too well since it's been one real annoyance after another since I came on this piece of ice… Until I arrived here days ago! And now, I have to say I'm the happiest I've ever been!"His eyes narrowing melodiously right then, he bellowed, "So now that you realize you've brought all of this upon yourself, you can begin your journey to the hell drowning in regret and despair!"Sword in hand, he charged at Charlie, moving at breakneck speed!Charlie had just traveled from the northern end of the planet to the very south, and didn't have time to forge mystic treasures.The Soul Blade was long lost, and while he had other stuff that could do the same thing, he was sure it wouldn't work against Barlin. In fact, he only had the Thunder Order right now…Wait, Thunder Order!Charlie became thrilled right then—he had been using Th

    Barlin felt he missed out big time when he couldn't make it through the Gate of Transcendence, but seeing Charlie now, he was thanking fate for sending him alms—like a farmer who found a gold nugget while plowing.After all, Fleur had issued a very generous bounty on the mysterious enemy that had been killing Qing Eliminating Society's bigwigs and destroying their bases. While Barlin himself wasn't going to be appointed as a military governor, Fleur definitely couldn't complain as she handed over scores of mystic treasures and pills!Charlie was ready and wary for a fight to the death, but he knew how to read people, and dissed Barlin despite having no chance to win, "Come on, geezer! You've been hiding like a rat from the Americans this long, don't even think you can impress me!""So it's you!!!" Barlin hollered, his eyes narrowing sharply. "And here I thought the Japanese messed up, but it's you who screwed me over?!""Haha! That's for sure!" Charlie laughed out loud and scof

    However, no matter how Charlie ran, he was not avoiding Barlin's side.He had yet to land when Barlin rushed out of the icy cave, and he had to aim his landing to the west and kept running once his feet touched ground.Neither of them could fly, and didn't have flying swords they could sword surf on—or know the technique, for that matter.All they could do was keep running across the icy plains at superhuman speed.Charlie was quick, but Barlin kept closing in on him, his smile cold and gradually confident as he leered at Charlie like prey.He didn't even have to chase down Charlie either—he could start attacking once he was within range, around a hundred feet.Charlie himself never fought actual cultivators, but he knew that the worst thing one could do against a stronger opponent was to turn one's back on them.Fight head-on, and he just might have a chance.Keep his back to his enemies, and it would be a lethal stab to the back.However, Charlie couldn't be blamed for cowar

    Barlin's Reiki sense was a class above Charlie's.On one hand, while his cultivation was definitely higher, it was also awkward that he didn't have much chance to replenish his Reiki—unlike Charlie, who had ample amounts of pills to recover.Hence, like a starving beggar, he was sharper when it came to the smell of food, his body hair standing and tingling when Charlie's Reiki reached him.He didn't hide his Reiki presence since he was in a cave this deep, and the surface was no man's land. Charlie flinched in surprise when his Reiki found Barlin, and he immediately realized that it was a cultivator and one much stronger than himself.He now knew for a fact that there were two cultivators in Antarctica, the first being himself and the other being the Qing Eliminating Society elder he had screwed over.So it goes without saying who the cultivator at the underground cave was.Though thrilled for a moment, he was ready to run but still stopped to glare at the arrow up in the skies

    Charlie had tried to change headings—maybe redirect the arrow and see how it reacted, but it kept pointing in the same direction, no matter how he moved, just like a compass.He got a little excited, sensing that the entity was determined to guide him there.As he began to approach the icy pit Barlin dug, the arrow started to shift to a sloping angle, forming an angle with the horizon that tilts upward.Delighted, Charlie kept running as he realized he was reaching his destination, while feeling fortunate that he didn't have to go to the actual heart of the South Pole.Meanwhile, Barlin wasn't paying attention to his surroundings.His Reiki would wane in intensity if he tried to project it through over thousands of feet of ice. He could sense what was in the pit and not the surface, so he didn't bother trying.That was why he was slacking more than Charlie expected, not bothered to waste Reiki on his surroundings since he was most likely the only cultivator on the continent.

    At the same time, Jake continued punching and hitting Aaron until he knocked him unconscious. After that, he woke him up with two tight slaps across his face before he continued to hit him again…Aaron’s old classmates could only watch in amazement, but none of them dared to step forward to stop him

    Charlie rounded his arm and slapped him, causing Kian to stagger and fall to the ground.Kian had had an overly affectionate upbringing, and he had never even been poked before, moreover a slap. He got up and roared, “Motherf*cker! I’ll kill you!”“Kill me?” Charlie asked in a cold voice. “Listen care
