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 7763

    To ensure the ancient cultivators' plan in setting up all the different portals, Charlie solemnly examined the clues.He needed to confirm one thing—the portal required copious amounts of Reiki to run, just as each time Vera's ring teleported him. It needed all the Reiki it drained from him up until that point.Moreover, even knowing each teleportation burned through a lot of Reiki, he still couldn't be sure that the distance of teleportation affected the amount of Reiki used. If it were a case-by-case basis, then intercontinental teleportation needed more than several times the amount of Reiki he used to teleport from the Champs Elys Resort to the Scarlet Pinnacle Manor.There was also the issue that thousands of ancient cultivators must have used those portals freely every day, which means they must have been used thousands of times every day… The volume of Reiki required could well drain the planet dry.That alone meant the cost of building and maintaining the portals was astron

    Charlie thought that since Aurous Hill was east of Crane's Cry, he could try to see how far the portal to the east was from Aurous Hill.Hence, he didn't wait; he moved to the east-side portal and thought of the mental incantation for it.Golden light flashed, and when he opened his eyes again, he was once again within an artificial cave.He stepped out and saw that it was once again daytime in the middle of a springtime forest. The only difference is that the geographical features meant it wasn't Hearth's Cry, and the hills didn't look Oskian—more volcanic.Charlie hence whipped out his satellite phone and checked the GPS locator to see that he was on Mount Ontake, Japan.It was one of the nation's holy mountains and a religious spot, and the origin of Shintoism.Charlie hence wondered why those ancient cultivators would build a portal in Japan… Unless it was where they were active too?After all, he was under the impression that all portals led to Oskia, only for the portal to

    Charlie quickly passed through the cavern chamber and the tunnel, and soon found the cavern entrance.It must be daytime as it was really bright outside, and the warmth meant it couldn't have been the South Pole. As Charlie approached the cave entrance, he suddenly recalled the embarrassing scene of being teleported by Vera's ring for the first time. He immediately looked down at himself, and was relieved that things were different now. The first time the ring teleported him, Coldie's self-destruction had ripped his clothes to shreds, leaving him completely naked when he teleported to Vera's side. This time, not compelled by danger to teleport, even his clothes and belongings were sent here with him. If anything, after his bloody battle with Barlin, his clothes were a little shredded by Barlin's Infinite Sword technique. Along with all the cuts and gashes, he was quite the gruesome sight, so he thought to himself that it would be best to stay away from other people in case he

    Charlie himself had been to many cultivator temples, but not one had such vivid sculptures. After all, everything from posture, facial features, facial expression, down to their limbs was sculpted to perfection. They looked more real than the person, projecting both authority and compassion as if they really were smiling at Charlie.Charlie had no idea how Buddhism was linked to Daoism, and he himself leaned toward cultivator legacies that he inherited. So in his heart, the Trinity were his progenitor mentors, which was why he bowed in front of all three statues piously before he left.However, just as he was about to leave, a circle shimmering with golden light and inscribed with numerous runes suddenly appeared beneath his feet. As the circle flashed, its golden light illuminating Charlie's body intensified, and it became blinding. Suddenly, Charlie could no longer see himself, only the golden light.In an instant, Charlie suddenly felt as if his body had been instantly draine

    As Charlie tread alone through the unblemished ancient streets, he was all the more shocked.Over dozens of thousands could live here considering the scale of the city, and he couldn't imagine that many cultivators living here in the same place when you couldn't even gather hundreds of them these days.After walking around the city, Charlie was as shocked as he was disappointed—aside from the furnace that couldn't be moved, there was none of the infinite cultivation treasures Barlin had expected.There just wasn't a single mystic pill, mystic relic, or even cultivation manuals. Aside from the dense Reiki in the air, there wasn't anything that helped cultivation.And that left Charlie utterly confused. Considering the caliber of cultivators before the Degenerate Age of Dharma, why didn't they leave anything behind? Could they have taken everything with them when they left? That didn't make sense—with the amount of Reiki generated to keep this massive city running, personal prope

    Charlie gingerly opened one of the doors—it wasn't locked, and had no lock mechanisms at all.Further inside, there weren't even door frames.It was around three thousand square feet—a modest size for a residence, and there just wasn't anything to be found. No laundry area, no storage for food, and certainly no cages where livestock were kept.In fact, there wasn't even a well—it was all clean marble tile floors, the building itself and nothing else.Charlie strode past the courtyard toward the row of three buildings. He looked into the main building first, but there wasn't any furniture, only exquisitely woven straw mats, circular meditation pads for cultivation.The buildings to the left and the right didn't even have a bedroom in the traditional sense. There was only a sealed chamber for cultivation in the building to the left, and a crib to the right, as well as some wooden toys.Aside from newborns, Charlie had the feeling that those living here would have reached high cul

    As for both of them, neither one of them was looking at the referee or each other. Instead, both of them were looking at Charlie, who was seated amongst the audience.Charlie also felt a little stressed.He did not expect that these two girls would not be getting themselves ready for the match. Instea

    Charlie could just take the Rejuvenating Pill out and give it to Stephen if he wanted to. However, he stated a condition where he would give it to Stephen when he needed it the most to gain Stephen’s trust and reliability.It was not because he had any doubts about Stephen in any way, but he felt tha

    Charlie perceived Tanaka as a clever and observant individual. With his expressions relaxed, Charlie said, “Tanaka, do give me your contact number so I can reach you if there’s anything.”Without hesitation, Tanaka drew out his name card and passed it to Charlie respectfully.“Mr. Wade, this is my nam
