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!”

    Meanwhile, everyone who was inside was fighting with trench tactics from their respective positions as if in a real war.Even the Bluerock leader gasped when he saw the situation—he wasn't at all faint-hearted, but what he was seeing was way too gruesome.Blood had virtually covered every inch of the floor, while corpses were being used as sandbags to fortify positions as bullets flew across the hallway.None of the Inagawa-kai noticed the Bluerocker leader's presence, and they continued racking their brains to come up with a solution.That was when one of the footsoldiers asked the Inagawa-kai captain, "Sir, why don't some of us go out, get the cars, and drive inside so that everyone can make a quick escape? We will charge in from both sides, too, and anyone in the center will be dead meat!"The leader nodded but soon slapped the footsoldier and bellowed, "You fool! Why didn't you say that earlier?!"The footsoldier clutched his hurting cheek and pouted. "I mean… I just thought

    Hearing that hundreds of assassins were engaged in a free-for-all in Tokyo Dome for Tanya Sweet's head, the Tokyo commissioner almost passed out."Can you give me more details, Mr. Mitsui?" He quickly asked. "What's the situation?!"Yoshitaka, who had suffered Charlie's whims for an entire night, finally found an outlet."You fool!" He bellowed. "Hundreds are dead, and you're asking about the situation?! I'm warning you—if the police don't get here soon, you'll be picking up my dead body as well as Ms. Sweet's!"The commissioner cringed in horror—hundreds dead was the definition of a terrorist attack, was it not?! Worst of all, this was different from the casualties of Tokyo Rumble!Many had died in that incident, but the bodies had been found in different locations, and the culprits varied: The Matsumotos had wiped out the Schulz family's bodyguards and massacred the Takahashis, who in turn decimated many of Ito Yahiko's men and almost got Yahiko himself.And with Yahiko survivi

    The Yamaguchi-gai members were on the verge of a breakdown.They were running for their lives! Who the hell cared about a bounty?!They certainly didn't mind getting down on their knees to beg the Inagawa-kai if they could, with one of them even yelling, "Brothers of the Inagawa-kai! You can go in for the bounty all you want, and we will even make way for you. We ask for nothing—only that we leave alive! You can have the one billion all you want!"But while he thought he was being earnest, the Inagawa-kai simply wasn't buying it.The captain who had been leading the charge even laughed coldly, "Haha! Do you take us for idiots?! You definitely have succeeded with that many of you! You're gonna have to try better if you want to trick us! Boys, let's kill them all!" It was clear to the Inagawa-kai that since the Yamaguchi-gai were there first and plenty in numbers, they must have killed Tanya already.Forget one woman—with those numbers, they could have easily wiped out ten! So,

    When someone yelled 'brains' out loud, the yakuza, who were usually tough as nails, were suddenly all retching.They had taken lives before, but they had never truly faced danger in the genuine sense, as they had the protection of the Yamaguchi-gai.But now, realizing their comrade's brain had been blown out, and in this pitch-black environment with nothing to rely on, there was no doubt this was hell.Someone yelled, "Shoot! It doesn't matter who's there. Shoot them down!"Despite Japan's strict firearms control, the Yamaguchi-gai still had stores of firearms, even if they couldn't really afford to let every single member carry one.However, any incident where a gun was shot would immediately escalate the situation, so they would always stick to knives if they could.Be that as it may, this was not the time or situation for restraint—they would die not knowing why if they didn't fire back!But even as they pulled out their guns, they realized another problem.Everything in fro

    That was when someone shouted from the entrance, "On my order, charge in there and kill Tanya Sweet! That's a billion dollars to whoever finishes her! Everyone else gets an extra billion to share, too! That's two billion, boys! Let's make this quick since we're here first! You'd be getting a few hundred grand even if we split it anyway!"The rest of the Yamaguchi-gai roared in excitement, with some whistling loudly.As they advanced together, the very floor quaked under their numbers.Still, arriving at the hallway, they found that it was pitch-black, and they couldn't see anything.That was when the Yamaguchi-gai members leading the charge screamed as the Iga ninjas attacked even before they could be seen, launching their poisoned shurikens in perfect synchrony down the hallway.It looked like a stormy rain of blades, taking down a dozen with just one wave!To the rear, the other Yamaguchi-gai were still running and hence tripped over their comrades as they fell dead on the floo

    With Hanzo cutting down that samurai in an instant, the rest were left deflated.At that moment, they finally understood that their sacrifice was pointless. Their own bosses might find it hard to survive after tonight, so their families certainly wouldn't be compensated even if they died.Yoshitaka was seething and stamping his feet, cursing, "Damn you, Yoshiyasu! You were my brother and most trusted, loyal confidante! All those years, he was following me around, always doing everything I say—his ashtray is there when I whip out my cigar, only for him to turn around and try to kill me now!"Charlie simply laughed. "Have you not learned history? Amongst royals and elite circles like yours, how many brothers have truly stayed as brothers in the face of competition? It's not like you don't know how medieval princes immediately go up in arms when their father coughs a little strangely. So what if they all came from the same mother? When it comes to personal interest and a brother's deat
