Chapter 04

작가: 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 7765

    When Charlie began to speculate that Vera's ring belonged to this place, he suddenly remembered the one function he knew it had.Other functions aside, he knew for sure that once the ring acknowledged an owner, the ring would teleport the owner during his dire moments to the person at the forefront of their mind.In other words, it was meant to save lives—even if one was dying, it would at least grant them the opportunity to see their loved ones one last time.With those speculations in mind, if there really were cultivators laboring like worker ants to scrounge up cultivation materials from across the globe, it was necessary for each person to have such a ring.After all, scouting for such precious resources was itself a risky task. Other cultivators might hunt them down, and with the ring, flight was always an option if fight proved vain—a fail-safe for every cultivator dispatched.And that might be why the ring's serial number couldn't be seen outside the subterranean city, but

    However, the spirit stones were a non-recyclable resource, and competition would have been fierce with the Degenerate Age of Dharma. Those nine portals might be routes that the ancient cultivators used to travel around the world to gather spirit stones, and judging from how they labored to move everything they could to the South Pole, they chose to migrate following the Degenerate Age of Dharma.They had to create a utopia for cultivators, as burning through resources that could match a nation's treasury as they attempted to stave off the decline brought about by the Degenerate Age of Dharma.If Charlie's theory held sway, that meant they were searching for spirit stones across the globe before—or even after—they migrated to the South Pole. They needed a ton of them both to maintain the wards keeping the city portals alive, as well as meet the needs of the thousands of cultivators.That was the most logical explanation of the portal, and Charlie could imagine it in his mind already.

  • 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

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 7761

    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

    The second daughter-in-law, who was next to her, then blurted out without hesitation, “If even you don’t dare to do it, I naturally wouldn’t dare to do so either!” As she said that, she cried and said, “The police can seize whatever they want to seize. For so many years, aside from bringing up the c

    There was a very small single bed on the left and right in this semi-open space.At this time, the inmates inside were resting. Some of them were lying on the bed, and some were sitting at the head of the bed talking to others. When the group of inmates heard the prison guard yelling, they slowly got
