Chapter 16

Author: Lord Leaf
Sabrina crossed her arms in front of her chest and said in a pompous tone, “Yeah, I despise you, so what? Can’t you bear some criticism now, you loser?”

“Everyone in college knows that you married Claire and became their live-in son-in-law after graduation! A miserable loser who couldn’t even afford a decent meal in college and a toyboy after graduation! How dare you come looking for my help being such a big loser as you are? Who do you think you are?”

A rage of fury was slowly burning inside Charlie.

One would not attack unless attacked first. Sabrina was going too far this time!

Right at this moment, he received a text message from Stephen. “Young Master, the Wade family owns Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts. The Shangri-La of Aurous Hill is just one of our many Shangri-Las throughout the world.”

Charlie’s pupil shrank in astonishment!

Did he just say that the Wade family owned Shangri-Las?

He responded reflexively, “You’re not bluffing, are you?”

“Of course not. The person in charge of Aurous Hill’s Shangri-La is Isaac Cameron, his number is 155…, please give him a call and he will settle everything for you.”

“Okay.”

Sabrina was a little agitated by Charlie’s attitude, staring at his phone and texting while she was mocking him.

She felt like she was abusing a dog and of course, she wanted to hear the dog yelp.

Unexpectedly, Charlie didn’t say anything.

It proved that in his case, time did not change anything. He was a loser since college, and he was the same loser now who didn’t even budge after being insulted.

Hence, she increased the cockiness in her tone and sneered, “Hey, Mr. Class Rep, you’re pretty good at putting up with insults!”

“Oh yes, by the way, I heard that you and Claire have not slept together after being married for three years. Is Claire actually someone else’s mistress and you’re nothing but a smokescreen for her affairs? Hahaha!”

Charlie frowned indignantly.

‘Not only did you insult me, but you also insulted my wife. Sabrina Lee, you’re digging your own grave!’

Enraged, he called Isaac Cameron’s number. He stared at Sabrina and said flatly while waiting for the call to be answered, “I’m going to ask your person in charge about how Shangri-La recruits employees, for even people with a foul mouth like you can work here!”

“What? How dare you taunt me? You really need a beating!” Sabrina growled furiously and shouted to the guards beside her, “He’s here looking for trouble, beat him!”

At this moment, his call was answered.

“Hello, who is it?”

A charismatic male voice came from the other end of the line.

Charlie said coldly, “Are you Isaac Cameron? I am Charlie Wade, I’m now at the entrance of Shangri-La. I’ll give you a minute to get the h*ll here or you can just get out of Shangri-La!”

Upon hearing it, the man who was originally full of charisma immediately panicked and stuttered, “Young…Young Master? Are you really at the Shangri-La now?”

“Fifty seconds!”

The man yelped over the phone and blurted frantically, “Please wait a moment, I’ll be there right away!”

Sabrina smirked as she listened to Charlie’s phone conversation and mocked sarcastically, “Hey, Charlie, I didn’t know that you’re so good at blowing your own horn! Do you know who Mr. Cameron is? Even the most prestigious members of Shangri-La dare not to be so pompous in front of Mr. Cameron! Do you really think you can fool me by pretending to make a call?”

Charlie glared at him and said faintly, “You’ll know in thirty seconds if I’m fooling you!”

Sabrina laughed contemptuously. “Okay, our beloved class rep! I’ll wait for thirty seconds! Oh no, let’s make it three minutes. If Mr. Cameron doesn’t show himself in three minutes, I’ll let the guards tear your bluffing mouth off your face, you lying little prick! Hahaha! This is so funny!”

Twenty seconds later, a middle-aged man in a top-of-the-line bespoke suit ran towards them in a panic.

He was a dog who worked for the Wade family. He was also a very powerful dog.

Ever since he had been appointed as the general manager of the Shangri-La in Aurous Hill, he became one of the most respectable icons in the city. When was the last time he was ever so panicked and anxious?

However, his panic was understandable. He had never imagined that the young master of the Wade family would appear at Shangri-La, which was under his management…

Sabrina intended to continue insulting Charlie when she suddenly saw the guards looking pale and horrified as they glanced behind her.

She followed their stunned gazes and turned around when she saw Mr. Cameron emerge. Her eyes opened widely as if she had been struck by lightning.

Then, she turned back at Charlie, her eyes full of horror. “This… how… how is it possible…”

“Who is Mr. Charlie Wade?”

Isaac’s voice was trembling in fear and disbelief.

Everyone stared at him in bewilderment, stunned. The man who could easily shake Aurous Hill by simply stomping his feet had become so terrified and frightened that even his voice changed!

Charlie said loudly, “I am!”

Isaac quickly rushed towards him and bowed. “Young…”

Charlie interjected immediately, “Mr. Cameron, some things are not suitable to be said out loud in public.”

Isaac was shaking with jitters upon the statement.

‘Oh, my goodness! I’m such a stupid dog! Young Master’s identity must be highly confidential, yet I almost called him out! If I offend Young Master, it will be the end for me!’

Thus, he hurriedly changed the address but still spoke in a respectful tone, “Mr. Wade, welcome to Shangri-La. Please follow me to my office for further discussion.”

Sabrina was utterly stunned. She could not accept the fact but it had unfolded right in front of her eyes.

Who was Charlie Wade really? What was his real background? How could he make the big boss of Shangri-La bow before him like a lowly peasant?

He wouldn’t bear a grudge against her for her mockery, right?

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 7649

    "If the myth is true, it'd definitely be the Monkey King," Bosco replied without hesitation. "Born immortal and then ascending as Buddha? There's no disputing his godhood."Barlin nodded in agreement. "Exactly. If the Monkey King is real, he's a divine Buddha—a class above even immortals."Pausing, his tone shifted as he continued, "Now, have you considered that the Monkey King's somersault cloud only covers the distance of 37,000 miles? Even if we're talking about 37,000 miles per second, it would only be about one-fifth of the speed of light. "In other words, even if the Monkey King—already divine—could only manage that much, the cultivators who are a class beneath would never reach the same level of ability. Since the Monkey King is a far more enlightened being anyway, all the centuries they spent in cultivation only end up with them falling short. So tell me, is spending hundreds of years cultivating a blessing or a torment?"The other two elders could swear they got tinnitus

    Barlin nodded, and warned, "You must be extremely careful while you're interacting with modern society, as there's this CIWS thing that reduced one of our best men to mincemeat. Tarlon was saying that nonsense will chase you down while also being too fast to outrun, even changing directions if you did. It would have seen you before you got too close, and would have launched dozens—if not hundreds of shells straight at you. No human being stands a chance."The other two elders nodded repeatedly—in fact, the more they learned about modern technology, the less faith they had in dharmic cultivation.Pausing, Barlin sighed out loud again. "I'll be honest. Before I went into seclusion, I thought I would have nothing to fear once I stepped out… Only for us to improve in cultivation, but the world also improved even more in just a hundred years. "Think about it, a hundred years ago, a cannonball could at most destroy a small boat or a house. Just 80 years ago, a bomb could level an entire

    In the VIP lounge, Bosco—bound for Kathmandu, was the first notified that he could board his flight. A pretty air stewardess approached him, bowing her head respectfully before speaking in fluent Oskian, "Mr. Griffin? You may board your flight at the terminal, but we have a buggy waiting for you if you like. Would you like to depart now or wait?" The three high elders were raised as youths in the Qing Dynasty. Now, after emerging from a century of seclusion, they quickly crammed knowledge about the modern world, but still couldn't quickly grasp foreign languages. Fortunately, Tarlon was considerate enough to arrange for Oskian service personnel to assist them in advance. Bosco asked her, "How long do I have?" The air stewardess replied, "Twenty minutes, sir. Business and first-class passengers will be boarding first, while economy-class is expected to begin boarding in ten. We can use the VIP passage from this lounge, which leads directly to the jet bridge. Until then, you

    Back then, Barlin's comrades were recruiting new members to their cause with paganist rites and invocations, gaslighting recruits into believing that they were physically invulnerable… which naturally was a complete lie.But then again, not all of them were charlatans, as Barlin once encountered a comrade down south, who was practically a cultivator.Although Barlin had already attained enlightenment, Fleur made him disguise himself as an ordinary peasant to infiltrate the ranks of other rebel cells to gather intelligence. It was during one of those paganist rites, that one of the senior figures gathered everyone around and told them a story—perhaps to boost morale, about a special denomination before the Degenerate Age of Dharma.He said that before the Degenerate Age of Dharma came, the world was filled with powerful cultivators, who set up countless sects. Their strength was many times greater than that of cultivators in the Degenerate Age of Dharma, and transcendence was com

    Charlie's Earthnet was a security camera network embedded in vending machines at airports, ports, and train stations, all wired to his state-of-the-art AI module.It had caught sight of the Qing Eliminating Society's three elders before, when they departed and returned to South America.On this occasion, they first traveled by seaplane to the waters near Buenos Aires, before transferring to a speedboat to make landfall, after which they headed straight for the airport.The moment they arrived at the airport's VIP lounge, Earthnet immediately identified them.Neither Fleur nor the three elders seemed to understand the danger of facial profiling, nor did they know Charlie possessed such a powerful tool in his arsenal that was almost insidious.It was a stroke of genius to cover all transit points such as airports, train stations, and piers. During travel, especially international, facial concealment was prohibited. And when they pass through any checkpoints without facial disguises,

    Unlike the four seasons elsewhere across the world, those who work in Antarctica only had two seasons. For them, there was only one summer that started from November to March, and one winter from April to October—the latter was naturally much longer, lasting seven months.That also meant there would be no tourists on the Antarctic continent for the next seven months, while all commercial shipping would be completely suspended. Currently, a small number of research vessels were still traveling to and from Antarctica, but by late April, there wouldn't be ships traveling to Antarctica. After all, even research vessels would be unable to handle the extreme temperatures in that period.In other words, people who stayed on the Antarctic continent would be unable to leave even if they wanted to, as the next ships will only arrive in October.Still, even though six months would have passed in the blink of an eye for him, Charlie couldn't help but worry for his family and friends, in cas

    Angus was shocked, not expecting these words from Janus. “Janus… W-Why are you returning to Hong Kong? That Shawn guy will kill you!”Janus smiled. “Back then, I extended my stay in the United States through illegal means. I’m an illegal immigrant. Now that the police have found me, it won’t be long

    When Shawn heard Charlie’s question, he smiled and said, “Mr. Wade, Marianne’s biggest problem is that she has never been in love.”Charlie frowned and said, “What has the fact that Marianne has never been in love have anything to do with you wanting to demolish the food street?”Shawn hurriedly said,

    Porter, who was aside, could not help but exclaim, “Mr. Wade, in that case, it would be unnecessary to look into the faces, fingerprints, and DNA of this group of people today, because it would be impossible to find anything...”The man also smiled bitterly and said, “There is really no need to inves

However, now that Hannah was suddenly currying favor with her and flattering her, this instantly magnified her vanity and gave her the refreshing feeling that her life had turned
