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?

    Pausing, Charlie then continued, "That way, they would see the urgency to act, especially if they had stock of crude oil and sell given the opportunity. They'd definitely send a praetor."Charlie's plan had been to have the Rothschilds inflate crude oil prices to draw the Left Military Governorate out of hiding.Come to think of it, there was a process even when it came to inflation, so the bait might not be attractive enough.Still, he just wanted to track down the folks working in the Left Military Governorate anyway, and creating fake bait was much more efficient than preparing actual food to be used as bait.Moreover, everyone in business was obsessed with insider trading, whether it was small-time stock market investors, CEOs of public companies, private equity fund managers, or conglomerate giants. After all, receiving an accurate tip in advance potentially meant millions, if not billions in profits. If Rachel heard the news from the Rothschild family heir, many in the Left M

    Seeing how things were, Rachel quickly told Charlie, "Don't worry, Mr. Cooper. I'll do my best no matter what you ask, and without hesitation!"Charlie smiled and nodded. "It's not just your family that will benefit from this partnership. I will restore your freedom once the Qing Eliminating Society falls."Rachel's expression stiffened, finally realizing just then Charlie's true goal was to take down the Qing Eliminating Society in its entirety.Minutes ago, she most definitely wouldn't believe him even if he said that, dismissing it as delusional.But seeing Charlie's confidence and composure now, she thought that there just might be a chance.Bowing her head reverently, she said, "Mr. Cooper, every Scholar is bound to servitude by the Qing Eliminating Society for hundreds of years now. I'm sure every Scholar's ambition has been to secure freedom for themselves and their children—if you can free us, we will be eternally grateful!"Charlie nodded as he calmly said, "Well, if you

    However, that also presented a great opportunity for Charlie,Still, he frowned. "With the unrest in the Middle East, crude oil prices had been inflating terribly. If I were the Left Military Governorate, I'd want to sell my stockpile since this is the best time to do it." Then, turning to Rachel, he said, "I'll have our boy here try to manipulate crude oil prices, create a short-term surge. If everything proceeds as planned, the Left Military Governorate will definitely seize the opportunity to sell their stockpile. While they do, you can take Rob to Miami to meet your parents—contact me right away if the Left Military Governorate sends anyone."Rachel looked nervous at the idea. "But if I do and the Qing Eliminating Society finds out that we were conspiring, my family and I will be eliminated…"Charlie held her gaze as he shot back, "And do you think you'll live if you refuse to work with me?"Flustered, Rachel shook her head. "N-No, sir, let me rephrase. I'm concerned that onc

    Vera's feelings on the Five Military Governorates turned out to be correct.Even if they were Griffins, they were like five children of a king, each assigned significant fiefs and subjects, while also being more loyal than the king's men.In feudal times, rarely were there loyal princes, just as the princes were only ever fiercely competitive against one another. With their father's death being the one chance for them to rise to claim ultimate power, it was no different from the situation in the Rothschilds, with Julien being clearly less loyal to his father Harrison than Harrison's key executives to Harrison. They depended on his father for their livelihood, while Julien hoped for Harrison to step down sooner.That was exactly how things worked between the Five Military Governorates and Fleur worked too, especially since she now had less than a hundred years to live.Now, the question they must all consider was what would happen after she died.There were two really likely scenar

    Fleur's name had always been top secret, and most of the Qing Eliminating Society didn't even know her gender. She used a voice changer when issuing direct orders, and Rachel herself only knew because her maternal grandmother happened to have personal connections to the Griffin branch in charge of the Left Military Governorate. It was a tale as old as time—people talking in their sleep.Still, that was how Rachel knew, and if not for that, she wouldn't even know who Charlie was talking about.And seeing Rachel's shock, Charlie said, "Calm down. I had never met her myself, but I am aware she lived four hundred years strong and founded the Qing Eliminating Society, while also being the de facto leader.Rachel's heart was pounding as she looked at Charlie. "S-Sir… I think you know more about the Qing Eliminating Society more than I do…"Charlie shook his head. "There's no reason to be so humble. I only know about Fleur and his roots, but I know jack when it comes to the Left Militar

    Rachel was well aware that the Qing Eliminating Society tracked its own name on all internet databases.If Charlie really decided to leak as he threatened, her family would be culled.Still, she also quickly realized that she had value—otherwise, Charlie wouldn't wait until after Julien and Rob left to reveal himself.That was about the single silver lining in all the gloom, but at least it meant her family's death was a possibility rather than inevitable.After all, if they hid well after betraying the Qing Eliminating Society, they might not get killed right away. But if their covers were blown, death would come swift and sure.Even if she tried to send a distress call to the Left Military Governorate that her cover was blown and to request assistance—even declaring her loyalty, the Left Military Governorate would only come bearing death.And then everyone who knew about her would be wiped out, along with her entire family.That was why at that very moment, Rachel made up her

    "Really?" Intrigued, Charlie smiled as he asked, "How did the AI module come to this conclusion? Did it hack into Naples Airport?"Merlin smiled in return as he shook his head. "No, I wouldn't dare let it just hack into the airport. While it has a powerful processing capacity, it can't train itse

    "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

    Penny really couldn't argue against that, and she immediately became furious and tense, seeing how Charlie completely dismissed her as a threat.Her tone was suddenly a lot less confident than earlier, and she was barely able to hide her nerves as she asked, "Then, what do you want from me?"Charl

    Merlin asked, " Can we really get in? Port security is usually very strict.""Don't worry, I have a plan," Charlie grinned. "Still, let's get to our room first. We should have a bird's eye view of the port since it's on the top floor."With that, they checked in, received their room cards, and he
