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 nodded. "Yes, you're all better now, so you can go."Hank remained bemused. "But… When did you cure me? I didn't feel a thing..."Charlie chuckled. "And did you notice anything before you realized you were impotent?""No…" Hank shook his head, as he had only noticed it when he couldn't get it up, even with viagra.Come to think of it, he had never figured out how Charlie had castrated him.And considering that Charlie could castrate a person without them knowing, he could well have cured him without him knowing, too!"Thank you, Mr. Wade!" He exclaimed excitedly right then. "I'll ask my medical team to check right away as soon as I return Stateside!"Julien frowned. "What, do you doubt Mr. Wade?""N-No…" Hank quickly shook his head. "I mean, they kept insisting that pancreatic cancer is incurable and kept telling me that only ten percent of patients survive for five years. That's why I'm going to show them there's more to the world than they know, and that I was compl

    Seeing Hank, Julien smiled as he asked, "I heard from Matt that only you have paid the billion-dollar fee for the bounty fund, but the others haven't?""Oh, uh…" Hank was about to cover for his friends and come up with an excuse, such as they were still trying to get the money or didn't have a secure method to wire it. After all, it still made sense that there would be delays when moving so much money.However, Hank also found a rift growing between himself and the cabal.After all, the cabal would regain their manhood by just paying a billion, while he would only get to stay alive with the same amount. If the other men were around, as they regained what they lost, he would definitely feel aggrieved.So instead, he sighed, "Sorry, Mr. Rothshild—I won't lie, they're still hesitant, waiting to see how things turn out here. To put it bluntly… They're hoping that Mr. Wade proves himself through me.""In that case, it's only right that I suggest Mr. Wade increase their fee," Julien

    After paying ten million for the dinner once more, Hank returned to the hotel to get some rest while also preparing the money.The amount hurt his wallet, but it was not all that difficult, and the money was soon exchanged into cryptocurrency and wired to a trade platform.After that, Hank made sure the corresponding address and wallet were both handed over to Matt, who confirmed that the amount was right before reporting to Julien.While Julien invited Hank to dinner the next day, Hank felt numb to everything, as it was going to cost him ten million again.After having run back and forth between countries multiple times and the inevitable depression of having cancer, he suddenly wasn't all that worried about money.Who cares? Staying alive was just that much better.Having saved enough for himself while also living this long, he was satisfied.The cabal also wired their money, although the money went to restoring their potency.Naturally, they weren't doing it in a hurry, and

    Albert bowed his head politely. "If you could wait just a moment, Ms. Sweet, I'll send someone to bring you some plates."Tanya nodded in gratitude, and Albert left.Hank didn't expect Tanya to show up while he was begging Charlie to save him.Still, he didn't dare look upset and braced himself to keep begging, "Please, Mr. Wade… I'm begging you, just give me a chance!"Charlie chuckled. "What you said about working for me can wait. Right now, if I were you, I wouldn't try to grab both things… No, I would choose the option that ensures my safety and life before striving for the second."Hank was about to continue begging, but he soon remembered that Charlie was not one to be swayed.It was just not his style.So, begging him was pointless from the start, unless he had already made up his mind to help him.In other words, his ideal option was to agree with Charlie's demands and pay the billion-dollar fee so that Charlie would treat his pancreas. As long as that problem was solve

    Charlie's words could very well be a club to the face, leaving Hank flat on his back and completely deflated.Never could he have expected that Charlie had a trap waiting—to think he expected Charlie to really save him, or at least give him a chance to be a lapdog.But now, Charlie was asking him to choose between his balls and his life.Naturally, he could never give up on either, and he promptly started begging, "Please, Mr. Wade… All I ask is for a chance to turn over a new leaf, as a proper person serving you, not as some miserable, decrepit geezer. Even if I'm alive like that, I don't think I'll be of much value…"Also, you said it would be a reward for me as the representative of the cabal. Why am I suddenly forced to choose between… my manhood and my life?"Charlie smiled and shrugged. "You really ask a lot of questions, don't you? Also, have you considered what I meant when I mentioned a reward?"Hank blurted, "Obviously, to cure my cancer…""Oh, no, no, no…" Charlie sho

    "Wonderful!"Hank was thrilled beside himself, and he shook Albert's hand excitedly. "Thank you so much, Mr. Rhodes!"Albert nodded and led Hank into the Golden Room, asking him to wait alone as he turned to leave.After that, Hank quickly called Matt to tell him that he had arrived at Heaven Springs, and Matt relayed the message to Julien.Charlie had yet to arrive when Julien and Matt both arrived at Heaven Springs by car, and Matt opened the door to the Gold Room but didn't enter.Instead, he stepped to the side, letting Julien enter first.Seeing Hank, he smiled and asked, "What's wrong, Hank? So, you really got something in your pancreas?"Hank could naturally see that Julien was dissing him, but he didn't hide his scowl either. "Please don't tease me, Mr. Rothschild—it really was pancreatic cancer, and the worst type there is. The doctor even said I only have a ten percent chance of survival.""I see no problem," Julien chuckled. "It's plenty for someone like you."Hank
