Chapter 04

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.

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 7795

    To move the kombuc tree, Charlie took the soil from his ring and placed it into the center of the marble slabs. When the soil pile was less than six feet from the top, he took the kombuc tree out of the void pocket, gently placing it at the center of the soil. As the kombuc tree roots were brought together with the rest of the tree, Charlie completely covered the roots with more soil. Once he did, he was surprised to see the already lush tree canopy rapidly expanding, with almost twice the number of tender green buds. With the emergence of numerous buds, the trunk and branches of the entire tree visibly thickened instantly, as if it were growing rapidly like a child in puberty. Charlie realized this might be the kombuc tree's own cultivation level. It had grown step by step from a tea tree to reach the Trial of Transcendence, likely transcending painstakingly across different realms. Vera watched in amazement at the fresh buds, murmuring, "This is really the right place for it—

    Seeing that, Charlie finally had a fair idea of how it all worked.As he took objects outside, the nearest tip of the object must not exceed sixty feet from himself.So if it was something like a 150-foot-long log, the far end can be as far as 210 feet, while the nearest must remain within sixty feet of him.If the logs were replaced with a massive steel dome 150 feet in diameter, the dome's maximum coverage distance would reach 210 feet too. But what if it were a giant steel pot instead? Making it some ten feet thick while 240 feet from handle to handle, and with the sixty-foot telekinesis limit, it really covered a length of 300 feet. Within such distances, Charlie could fight if he wanted—or slam the supermassive pot over them if he couldn't. It might crush them like a cockroach, and not even Fleur would be able to escape that quickly… Could she? So if he really found himself losing, he'd just send the pot over Fleur's head, and buy time enough to run away. Most important

    As a rule, the void ring required physical contact with the object for a deposit into the inside of the void pocket. That was not necessary when making a withdrawal—Charlie just had to imagine where he wanted the object placed, and it would be placed there.Charlie hence focused his concentration on the thousands of slabs of marble, imagining in his mind where he wanted them.And in an instant, they materialized out on the floor of the plaza. The weight-length ratio of each slab was one to seven, and it thus formed a square when seven were placed adjacent to each other. While Charlie arranged them into a bigger square with an empty center, he stacked up to seven layers of slabs. Once the first layer was done, he lay the second layer horizontally so each layer intersected at a 90 degree angle, ensuring balance instead of directly stacking them over each other.Soon, as more marble slabs flew out of the void pocket into a wall around him, Charlie took Vera's hand and leaped to the

    Even though they quickly passed through the airport by pulling strings, the journey still took at least four hours—two hours was spent in flight, while at least one hour was spent in the car.After all, Crane's Cry was far away from Westron's cities. The dozen mile journey wasn't all that far, and an hour was the optimal travel duration considering the complicated paths.And that's just reaching the mountain—they still needed an hour to walk to the cave where the portal was, since Charlie was with Vera.If they had a helicopter, that certainly spared them a lot of time, needing just twenty minutes instead of traveling by car.As they alighted and trekked up Crane's Cry along the lightless mountain road, it was another hour before they finally reached the cave where the portal was hidden.Holding Vera's hand, Charlie cast the mental incantation in his mind, and they were suddenly inside.It was dark outside, but the interior of the cave had a mild, comfortable glow just like the A

    Vera agreed with Charlie—the ring itself could teleport an owner it acknowledged, and that already made it one of the best forms of transportation there was. In fact, those ancient cultivators who reigned before the Degenerate Age of Dharma didn't even need a fixed point portal to teleport from one place to another—they could have just gone to any place they liked with the ring.And yet, for some reason, the teleportation function of the ring could only be triggered when it's life-or-death situations…However, even as Charlie was left utterly confused, Vera was racking her brains and then suggested an idea, "Perhaps the ring does have a teleportation function, but you had yet to trigger it?"Charlie was left taken aback for three seconds, and cringed as he admitted solemnly, "Well, that makes sense…"He trailed off, when it came to his mind and he quickly asked, "In that case, why make those nine portals across the world?"Vera smiled as she explained her idea. "Let's consider t

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 7790

    Vera yelped in fright—she had never seen so many bugs swarming in a split second, and promptly hid behind Charlie.Charlie wasn't afraid of insects, but was still more or less unsettled seeing such a dense swarm, and hence channeled his Reiki into a strong gale, blowing them away.Still a little confused, Vera asked, "Where did those bugs come from? That's too many…"Charlie shook his head somberly. "They were probably dwelling in the soil I took.""Dwelling?" Vera blurted in surprise. "You can't move them along with the soil?"Charlie was surprised by Vera's quick thinking once again, and thought about it. "Probably not. But I didn't think of them when I moved the soil, so the technique didn't move them as well."Vera nodded in understanding. "That means any form of fauna can be put inside, only flora.""That's right," Charlie replied. "As the void pocket has no concept of time, plants won't grow further… But it seems that any form of fauna—even the non-sentient—can't be put in
