Chapter 04

Author: Lord Leaf
This was also the first time Charlie had ever met Doris.

He had to admit that Doris was a very stunning and alluring young lady!

She was about twenty-seven or eight years of age with a slender yet plump body figure, captivating appearance, and a very mature and honorable manner.

Sitting down in front of Doris’s desk, Charlie started, “I will not come into the office often, so I would like you to continue looking over the company on my behalf. In addition, please do not disclose my identity to the public.”

Doris was aware that Mr. Wade, who was sitting in front of her now, came from the extraordinary Wade family. For a prominent family like theirs, Emgrand Group was nothing but a mediocre business, so it was normal for him not to manage it himself. Hence, she quickly said, “Sure. Mr. Wade, just tell me if you need anything, I’ll be at your service.”

At this moment, a secretary knocked on the door and said, “Miss Young, a man called Gerald White and his fiancé are here to see you.”

Doris said instantly, “I’m seeing a VIP now, let them wait.”

Charlie asked, “Do you know Gerald White?”

“Mr. White’s family is one of our partners and several of their major projects are linked to our company. They have said that they will be here to see me, they have been here several times too.”

Charlie uttered in a cold voice, “From now on, Emgrand Group would no longer have any business dealings with the White family. Halt all ongoing and preparatory projects. If the White family still earns a dime from our company, I don’t need you as our vice-chairman!”

Doris startled in shock for a while, figuring that someone from the White family must have offended the man. So, she nodded vigorously and exclaimed, “Mr. Wade, don’t worry, I’ll now order my staff to stop all collaboration with the White family!”

Charlie nodded satisfyingly and said, “Tell them that Emgrand Group has no interest in collaborating with lowly garbage, then ask the guards to kick them out.”

***

Outside the office, Gerald and Wendy were waiting anxiously.

The White family had always wanted to be the key players in the collaboration with Emgrand Group, so he hoped that he could build a good relationship with Doris Young and thus bring the family closer to the connection.

However, the least expected thing happened. Doris’s secretary approached them with several guards.

Gerald asked in confusion, “Hi, may I know if Miss Young is available to see us now?”

The secretary glared coldly at him and said, “Sorry, our vice-chairman said that Emgrand Group has no interest in collaborating with lowly garbage like you. From now on, we will cancel all the projects with your family!”

“What did you say?!”

Gerald gaped in extreme shock and his jaw almost dropped to the floor. Why did he find the remark so familiar anyway?

Oh, right! Charlie Wade said the exact same thing when they were in the parking lot!

What did Doris Young mean by that? Did she really intend to halt all the collaboration with the White family?

Gerald felt a surge of blood flooding her head, exploding inside.

What happened?

Canceled all projects?

A large portion of the White family’s profits came from working with Emgrand!

If Emgrand Group terminated their ties, didn’t it mean that the family’s net worth would be cut by half?

No, he couldn’t accept such a cruel fact. He growled loudly, “I want to see Miss Young! I want to ask her in person!”

The secretary simply glared at him coldly. “I’m sorry, Miss Young will not see you and you’re not allowed here in the future!”

Gerald shouted in great dismay, “Are you freaking kidding me? We are a long-term business partner of Emgrand, it isn’t up to her to terminate our projects just like that! Don’t mess with us!”

The secretary ignored his screaming and directed the security guards around her, “Kick them out!”

The head of the security team immediately jumped on them. He grabbed Gerald’s wrist and twisted it hard behind him.

Gerald yelped in pain and Captain Cooper snorted coldly. “Hurry and get out of here! If you dare make a scene at Emgrand Group, I’ll break you in half!”

“You’re just a security guard, how dare you raise your voice at me? Do you know who I am?”

Captain Cooper gave him a slap across his face instantly and shouted, “What are you in the face of Emgrand Group?”

Gerald felt his face burning from the slap. He was about to burst in fury when his phone suddenly rang.

It was his father.

When he answered the call, a furious roar echoed from the other end of the line. “You b*stard! What did you do? Emgrand Group wants to terminate all projects with us! Who on earth did you offend?”

Gerald whined sorrowfully, “No, Dad, that’s not true, I didn’t offend anyone. I just came here to see Miss Young, but I haven’t even seen her face yet…”

Gerald’s father shouted again. “The people at Emgrand Group said that they’ve terminated their collaboration with us because of you, the lowly garbage! It’s all because of you that our family is suffering a great loss! Hurry and come back, explain this to your grandfather yourself!”

Grabbing the phone in a daze, Gerald and Wendy were forcefully escorted out of Emgrand Group’s main entrance.

Suddenly, Charlie’s face appeared in his mind. He turned to Wendy abruptly and asked, “Wendy, is it because of your loser cousin-in-law? Does he have anything to do with Emgrand Group?”

“Huh?” Wendy was obviously taken aback by Gerald’s remark. When she pondered the circumstances, it might indeed have something to do with the loser, but he was a loser!

Thus, she shook her head and uttered firmly, “No, it is absolutely impossible that he has anything to do with Emgrand Group. He is not even qualified to clean their toilets!”

“You’re right…” Gerald nodded numbly. He hung his head low when he thought about his angry father. “I have to return home right away…”

Very soon, the news of the White family being kicked out by Emgrand Group spread throughout Aurous Hill like wildfire.

No one knew of the reason, but they were certain that the White family must have offended Emgrand Group in some way.

At this rate, the White family was considered gone.

Their net worth had been cut short by more than half. They were originally close to the peak of the social ladder in the city, but after the incident, they instantly dropped down several levels and became a second-rate family in terms of social class.

Lady Wilson was shaking with anger when she heard the news.

She wanted to call off Wendy’s engagement with Gerald, but even after the termination, the White family was still more prominent than the Wilson family and she couldn’t afford to lose the ties, so she could only bear with it for the moment.

***

Meanwhile, in Doris’s office, Charlie looked impressed and satisfied after he heard about the process. He highly appreciated her rapid and stern attitude in it.

He said with a satisfied smile, “Doris, great job, you did well. Starting today, your salary will be doubled.”

Doris gaped in astonishment. She stood up and bowed respectfully. “Thank you, Mr. Wade!”

Charlie nodded and continued, “Also, I want you to make two announcements.”

“Yes, please proceed.”

“The first thing is to announce the change of Emgrand Group’s ownership and nomination of the new chairman, but don’t disclose my identity. Just say that he is one Mr. Wade.”

“The second thing is the announcement of Emgrand Group investing two billion dollars to build a six-star hotel in Aurous Hill, and announcing the tender bidding for partners. Construction and interior decorating companies throughout the city are welcome to bid!”

The main business of Wilson Group was interior design and construction. The old lady would dream of hopping on Emgrand’s cruise. Whoever could win the bidding with Emgrand Group would surely become the most sought-after person in the company.

Now that he owned Emgrand Group, he should offer his wife some sweet deals.

    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

    Once it was time to leave port, every berthed vessel promptly weighed anchor and steered out to sea, all of them bound for the South Pole.Even if every vessel was bound for Antarctica, they were all taking different routes.Most research vessels traversed the Antarctic Peninsula and the South Shetland Islands, and very few ships went to the Antarctic continent, where the climate was harsher. Therefore, after leaving the port and sailing just a few dozen nautical miles, all the ships changed vectors and spread out.In contrast, the Elliot was heading straight for Antartica, after which they would pick up the researchers from the Norwegian research bases around the islands before returning to Ushuaia. After that, everyone would be flying home, while the Elliot would spend another month at sea before reaching her home port.Still, as they arrived at the Drake Passage on the second day of their voyage, the infamous Roaring Forties lived up to their name; winds here typically reached

    Barlin nodded. "In that case, I will take the north and the south."-While the three high elders eagerly left seclusion, it was dinner time at the Elliot.Captain Tracen had gathered everyone at the mess hall as asked, suggesting that he would introduce Charlie's group to them.No one found it suspicious, as it was a typical sailor tradition. Even for the research, since everyone was going to be stuck with each other for two weeks or so, getting to know each other would make life much easier.In fact, as Charlie's group just arrived at the mess hall, everyone aboard the Elliot was waiting in the mess hall.The Norwegian crew had stacked the ship's dining tables into a single long dining table over thirty feet long. Dishes—primarily Norway's specialty seafood including smoked salmon, various sausages, shrimp, and crab, were the main courses.Captain Tracen, still under Charlie's mind-bending influence, remained compliant and respectful, smiling at everyone as he called to the cr
