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 7847

    The Rothschilds had already sent their Washington-based lobbyists to the White House.As the family preferred to keep things quiet with whatever they did, their direct associates and publicly acknowledged executives rarely reached out to officials directly. Instead, they had lobbyists they groomed meticulously, who held staff positions in the White House.While they were clerks, assistants, or deputy heads of departments in the building, they had a job in name only. Instead, their main tasks were to facilitate communications between the Rothschilds and any high-ranking official as required, or confer with the president as a spokesperson for the family if necessary.The man spent his weekdays staying in the building on the second floor—his primary residence. Since he was around in the evening, most of the White House staff would work late into the night, including the Rothschilds' lobbyists.Once Steve made his phone call, the lobbyists immediately headed to the president's private

    Despite Charlie's mind trick, Horus frowned at his question and had to think for a long while."Apologies, sir," he eventually replied respectfully. "We are talking about over ten thousand dead soldiers in each base, and every individual who was put through the transition will be cut off completely from their families. "Only the respective governors can possibly reverse the transition. But with almost every department having to work together to regulate the movements, it simply draws too much attention and Lord Griffin would inevitably notice."Knowing that Horus couldn't lie, Charlie was hence convinced that any effort to reverse the transition and reunite thousands of families would cause too many problems, if not downright drawing Fleur's attention.That meant he had to give up on saving all the armed cavalry guards and death soldiers for the time being.On another note, he had no reason to keep prying into the Left Military Governorate's affairs for now. Instead, he would hav

    Charlie smiled and nodded. "I wasn't going to kill you anyway. Keeping you alive works for me."Horus sighed in relief and quickly said, "Don't worry—I'll be your informant from the inside, and inform you right away if the Left Military Governorate makes any moves!"Charlie nodded again and asked, "Are the elders of the Qing Eliminating Society here?"Horus didn't wait to shake his head. "No, they are always elusive and we don't know what happens to them."Charlie chuckled. "Really?"Horus said bluntly, "It's the truth! The absolute truth! Scout's honor!"Charlie pursed his lips in disdain. "There's no need. I have ways to make you tell the truth."Horus's heart skipped a beat when he saw the cold flash in Charlie's eyes, but Charlie's Reiki had seized his mind even before he could speak."I'll ask again," he growled icily. "Have your elders come Stateside?!""Yes, the second elder has been touring the country for a while," Horus promptly replied, and much more respectfully th

    Hearing that Horus mistook him for his father, Charlie immediately realized that Horus didn't just meet his father, but likely interacted with him somehow.Hence, he demanded coolly, "You knew my father?"Horus was still caught in a moment of disbelief—a person just appeared and was standing behind him, as if he came out of Biscayne Bay.Still, he was quick on the uptake when Charlie mentioned 'my father'."Y-You're Curtis Wade's son?!" He exclaimed in shock. "That means… You're Charlie Wade! You were alive?!""It seems you know a lot about my family," Charlie chuckled coolly.Horus had no idea how good Charlie was, as he projected his own Reiki to study Charlie but felt nothing in return.However, he didn't dare let down his guard since it was not anyone who could sneak up behind his back… But was it possible for the man to be a superior cultivator?Even as he grew nervous, he smiled to deescalate the confrontation while also preparing to attack. "Your father was just as famou

    Horus smiled and nodded in satisfaction. "No problem! Allow me to thank you at the outset, Mr. Getty!" He was certainly confident about their move because calling Rachel's information an insider tip was an understatement, when the Rothschild ruled America and the international oil market. While everyone else was busy predicting market trends, they moved the market itself. If this tip somehow still failed them, there was really nothing in this world to believe in.With a million tons of crude oil and should price increase by ten percent, that was a profit of over thirty USD per ton even with the premium paid to the Gettys. And with the ready stock waiting in Esteban's warehouse, that was over a hundred million waiting to be made.After finalizing the details with David, Horus left with both Wallis and David escorting him to the pier, after which he got on his two-deck yacht alone.Naturally, Horus wasn't aware that he had a passenger on board, as Charlie had hidden below deck, wh

    Rachel's father David was already waiting in his own house, and was delighted to see Horus.Hurrying over, he shook his hand and beamed, "To what do we owe the pleasure, Mr. Daven? This is unprecedented."Horus smiled in turn. "My board chair sent me to discuss something with you, Mr. Getty… It's about oil, to be specific."David nodded. "That's never a problem. How much shale oil do you intend to sell through us?""No," Horus shook his head as he explained solemnly, "We intend to buy, not sell.""Buy?" David blurted, bemused. "But, why? Your oil company digs for it, and isn't involved in the refining business." Horus smiled as he admitted, "The board chair has his own take when it comes to the ongoing middle-east conflict. With potential escalation, he's interested in stockpiling."That left David perplexed. "But things look like they are calming down recently, with another round of peace talks due to begin soon. With the strait open, crude oil prices are expected to drop—not

    Claire was dumbfounded, and she did not know how she should respond.Jacob, who was sitting in the co-driver seat, was so aggrieved that he burst into tears and choked up as he said, “Back then, your mother and I had no emotional connection nor affection for one another whatsoever.

    With a puzzled look on her face, Nanako asked, “Kobayashi-san, do you have any problem with this Dr. Simmons?”“Oh, no, no.” Jiro hurriedly waved his hand and said seriously, “I’ve never met Dr. Simmons before. By the way, frankly speaking, before my brother passed away, he once offended the doctor,

    At that very moment, Charlie had two solutions.The first solution was to look for Stephen Thompson to send the masters from the Wade family in Eastcliff to Mount Golmin for interception. There were many skilful masters in the Wade family and therefore, it would not be a challenge at all to subdue Th
