• The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 7008

  Charlie shook his head. "The people who want you dead were actually your allies who want to jump ship by cleaning house and save their own skin now that things have changed. It's the principle of sacrificing your friend when you run into a hungry bear—the bear won't hunt you if it has something else to eat."That's just the way it is when it comes to switching sides. They have all the more reason to want you dead since you might be aware of certain individuals' dirty laundry, even if you weren't actively getting involved in it."Tanya was left speechless, as that definitely was the case—she knew certain things, even witnessed it, but she wasn't an active part of it.And with a new sheriff in town, silencing her was just a matter of self-preservation.Naturally, she couldn't just tell Charlie those things outright, especially since they weren't alone.Fortunately for her, Charlie wasn't interested in what she did, saw, or knew.Instead, he quietly said, "Judging from the current s

  Yoshitaka breathed a sigh of relief, hearing that Tanya was finally agreeing to stick with the concert.He was already worried that the diva would just up and leave, and he was well aware of the temper of divas like her.Push her too far, and she would walk out on her bosses—she was plenty rich and influential anyway, and she could goof off for a while even if she failed to beat the company's lawsuit.On top of that, if she told her fans that she had left the company because they were forcing her to do something against her will, her legions of fans would bring the company to its knees.That was why Yoshitaka wouldn't dare to compel Tanya to do something against her will, and it really surprised him that Charlie just had to play hardball to make her cave.That was when Charlie said, "Since Ms. Sweet will be continuing with the concert, let's not waste time here. Mr. Kennedy, please return to the party with Ms. Sweet, or the other guests will start asking questions. If anyone asks,

  First and foremost, Charlie hadn't saved Tanya to do Yoshitaka a favor, so he shouldn't think too highly of himself.Secondly, Charlie didn't care how big a deal he was in Japan. To Charlie, he was nothing.Yoshitaka certainly felt embarrassed as well, as he could see that Charlie thought nothing of him when he didn't even know who Charlie really was.Until now, if anyone ever did Yoshitaka a favor, he just had to tell them he would remember it, and they would be so overjoyed as if they had been granted a favor. That definitely wasn't the case with Charlie, as he was showing his disdain for Yoshitaka in every way.Moreover, he had indeed screwed up big time in front of Charlie and Kathleen when Peter and his gang duped him.Smiling in embarrassment, he nodded, "Yes, you're right, Mr. Wade. I will do my best to correct that and refresh my memory…"Charlie simply ignored him and turned to Tanya, "Putting aside the fact that my wife and I flew hundreds of miles to watch your con

  Yoshitaka didn't expect Charlie to be so rough and demand that Tanya perform anyway.After all, divas like Tanya had a temper, but forget being unable to sweet-talk her, he was even threatening her?!The woman earned millions per year easily, and while it was a far cry from global bankers, she was just one girl.That meant she didn't have a big family or company to sustain. If necessary, she could just throw her parents a few million for pocket money, but the rest would be hers and hers alone. A life like that couldn't be more delightful—even a canceled concert would just cost a few dozen million in comparison. And if she really didn't feel like it, her compliance was a pipe dream!To no surprise, Tanya was upset with how rough Charlie was being with her.She had been so popular for so long that she was fawned over everywhere—but while even the likes of the world's richest man had to say he was a fan of hers, Charlie was somehow treating her like an employee!She definitely c

  It's not as if Yoshitaka had never met any assassins—it was just that no matter how savage they were, they didn't match the deathly presence that Charlie seemed to project.While curious about who Charlie was or how every part of him seemed to scream murder, he wasn't sure why Kathleen was utterly sycophantic of him.Still, with Charlie clearly holding the advantage, he nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Wade. I'm a man of my word.""Alright," Charlie nodded and turned to Peter. "From now on, Mr. Mitsui will be in charge of your safety and welfare. I'm really not that interested in your bosses, so you don't have to tell me—stay alive, and you'd be holding up your end of the deal."Earnestly worshipful toward Charlie just then, Peter quickly nodded. "Thank you, Mr. Wade! Thank you!"Charlie then turned back to Yoshitaka. "Like I said, I'm just requesting their protection. You don't get to harass them or coerce them into giving up sensitive information—treat them as guests, understo

  That was when the Toyota minibus and its entourage returned to Tokyo Dome, and the security personnel at the gates stood in a row, bowing respectfully as the convoy pulled up inside the building.Yoshitaka was trembling even as he watched the so-called CIA convoy return, as traumatized as he was furious.Talk about stepping on his toes, and right in the middle of his turf! To attempt an abduction right in his face?! It wasn't just an insult—it was ignominy!Nonetheless, the minibus soon stopped steadily in front of Yoshitaka and Kathleen, and the door soon opened.Charlie stood inside, beckoning to Tanya and Trevor. "You two. Go."The couple promptly leaped off the minibus without delay, their faces still pale from fear.On their necks was that little hole where the syringes had left a slight bruising after it had been forcibly removed—a gruesome sight.Kokomi exclaimed urgently, "Are you alright, Tanya?!"Seeing her, Tanya ran up and wrapped her arms around Kokomi as she sobbed, "You
