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.

    Meanwhile, Charlie was continuing his road trip with Vera, only starting their return to Oslo after sunset.Along the way, Vera suggested, "Since you're planning to hit the Nigerian base when the three elders of the Elder Council depart, why not seize this timing to extend Earthnet's reach to the country, too? The three elders of the Elder Council will most likely be flying, and with eyes on the ground, we could get a fix on their position when they leave the borders."Charlie nodded. "Sure, but we need to do this in two separate steps. The first is to have our people head to Nigeria and buy out various vending machine companies. The other is to purchase our own custom hardware, as the vending machines locally at present won't have security cameras equipped.""I agree," Vera smiled. "And the security cameras equipped need to have internet connectivity, so we can demonstrate it as a direct upgrade to present machines. After that, we will also customize the vending machines so that th

    Pausing, Arlo then continued, "Like the Rockefellers, the core of the Rothschilds's income comes from the energy and resource business."Sure, technology appears to be developing endlessly for now, but certain fields might see the old replaced with the new. Brutish warriors such as us certainly don't have the edge to succeed in such fields, and is there any assurance we can claim the pinnacle of that field? Just the slightest change could lead to losing every last dollar in a hundred-million-dollar project."On the other hand, invest in an oil field, and it's a steady income of one billion for the next thirty years. That's how important it is to play things steady and why we should always prioritize reinforcing ourselves against any potential upheavals. If another world war starts tomorrow, I won't bet on making money with computer chips or smartphones, but I sure as hell can bet on making billions from gas, steel, and other alloys!"Despite being nearly four hundred years old and l

    Standing behind Arlo, Callum, seeing that the former was clearly irritated, said, "If you're not used to this place, governor, I could book a five-star hotel. The three elders already went to the basement—it's just me keeping watch over the rest."Arlo shook his head and said quietly, "Her Lordship told me that I am to oversee the entire plan without allowing anything to go amiss. If anything happens and I'm away, I won't be able to survive Her Lordship's wrath."Callum hung his head fearfully in turn, quickly apologizing, "Sorry, sir. It seems that I haven't been prudent…""Forget it," Arlo sighed, waving him off. "I can stay here for a couple of days, but it's going to be a real trial if I have to stay any longer. Heaven knows if her lordship's unknown adversary would ever show up, or when.""Even Her Lordship doesn't know who they are or where they could be," Callum sighed. "If all we do is wait, who knows if we'll end up waiting for weeks, months, or even years…""Indeed, but

    As Charlie took Vera on a trip down memory lane in Bergen, the oil rigs down southeast in Nigeria were working 24/7, their restless silhouette and rumblings a distinct sight on the plains.Oil was the main source of income for the country. In fact, back when gas prices peaked, they were once the top three, if not indisputable top dog of the continent.The oil field that the Qing Eliminating Society owned had been running for decades. After Nigeria's independence, the Qing Eliminating Society had acquired it by special means, and it had since raked in at least a billion for them every year. That meant tens of billions for the past few decades, and even now, they could sell it for tens of billions.Moreover, the Qing Eliminating Society had plenty of other similar properties, though this oil field remained one of their most lucrative and valuable properties.And standing atop a towering platform were two men, looking out over the oil field.At the front, near the handrail, was Arlo

    Charlie chuckled. "I've already asked Helena to look for a good farm where you can lodge occasionally once we're done with renovations. We won't leave a paper trail with her help even when traveling internationally, so you don't have to worry about Fleur finding you." Vera nodded quietly, as she really wanted to stay in Norway for a while.Still, the desire waned considering how rarely Charlie would visit…That was when Vera's phone rang.She answered the call, and she immediately heard Decan Revan saying, "Lady Lavor, we have new leads regarding that flight.""Tell me everything," Vera replied, turning on the loudspeaker. "I just happen to be with Charlie, anyway."She knew Charlie would hear every word even if she didn't turn on the loudspeaker, but she did so out of respect instead of dismissing it as unnecessary."The plane landed at Johannesburg as initially planned," Decan replied. "We've also found their cargo manifest."What Decan soon relayed was basically all the inf

    Meanwhile, at one of the Qing Eliminating Society's many bases, Tarlon was reporting to Fleur, "The three elders from the Elder Council have settled down in our Nigerian safehouses, and I've arranged for the Right Military Governor to personally receive them as well as provide a place for cultivation.""Good," Fleur replied. "And what about the airline?"Tarlon shook his head. "As we had planned, we staged an emergency landing for the flight between Frankfurt and Johannesburg. The flight will be noted in every airline app, but the stop will go unnoticed for the average person unless the specific flight schedule is monitored."In that case, they would notice the stop in Lagos, and if they came looking for clues, they would have fallen into our trap."Fleur nodded. "What's the next step? Are there other breadcrumbs that would lead them to our Nigerian safehouse without making it look too easy?""That would be the multi-precision machinery that we transport from Germany," Tarlon repl
