Chapter 06

ผู้เขียน: Lord Leaf
Claire’s announcement sent a shock wave across the room, making everyone gape in extreme surprise!

Everyone thought that Claire must be out of her mind!

It was the worst time to stand under the limelight now! Other than failing miserably, there’s nothing else she could achieve!

Emgrand Group was the largest company in Aurous Hill and the Wilson family was nothing more than an insignificant ant to them! Whoever took the challenge would only end up failing!

Harold couldn’t help but mock sarcastically, “Claire, do you really think you can get a deal from Emgrand Group?”

Wendy continued in the same mocking tone after her brother, “Claire, who do you think you are, what do you think Emgrand Group is? You being so reckless and irrational will only humiliate us, the Wilson family!”

Someone else added, “Wendy is right! If she is kicked out by Emgrand Group, our family will be a laughing stock in Aurous Hill!”

Blood rushed to Claire’s face and she felt her face burning in embarrassment.

Her status in the family had plummeted since she married Charlie. Not only did the family members ignore her and elbow her aside but they also derided her parents.

She felt that if she could strike that deal with Emgrand Group, she could consolidate her position in the family.

The most important thing was that her parents could also stand up tall and be proud of who they were.

But under the sarcastic comments and condemnation, she wanted to withdraw herself from her silly idea.

She glared at Charlie in annoyance. How did he bewitch her and why did she listen to him? She shouldn’t have made such a silly suggestion in the first place…

Lady Wilson was very angry as she listened to the audience’s verbal exchanges.

No one dared to accept the task after she asked several times. Now that Claire courageously stood up to take the challenge, these people started ridiculing her!

Lady Wilson had always disliked Claire, but at this moment, she was glad that Claire was at least willing to walk the impossible talk, unlike the rest of the members who were only good at giving her trouble!

Especially her favorite grandson, Harold! He was such a disappointment!

Because of this, Lady Wilson’s attitude towards Claire changed a lot. She said immediately, “Stop your nonsense, you cowards! I’ll pass the task of striking a deal with Emgrand Group to Claire!”

Sheepishly, Claire mumbled, “Don’t worry, Grandma, I’ll try my best.”

Harold puffed a breath from his nose and sneered coldly, “You try your best, and then what? You’ll embarrass us when you fail later!”

Charlie asked in a mocking tone, “Harold Wilson, why do you taunt Claire like that? Do you think that the Wilson family is not qualified to collaborate with Emgrand Group?”

Harold had never expected that the loser Charlie Wade dared to speak up during the family meeting, not to mention in such a high horse manner.

Seeing the fury slowly burning on Lady Wilson’s face, he quickly explained, “No, I don’t mean it like that, I just think it is impossible for Claire to strike the deal! That’s all!”

Charlie laughed in amusement and asked, “What if she succeeds? Should we make a bet?”

Harold grinned coyly. “Okay, let’s bet then! Do you think I’m scared of your little threat? What do you want to bet? Let’s hear you out.”

Charlie said, “If Claire succeeds, you will grovel at my feet and admit that you’re wrong in front of everyone. If she fails, I will grovel at your feet and admit that I’m wrong. What do you think?”

“Hahaha!” Harold laughed out loud. “You’re really digging your own grave, loser! Alright, I’ll take the bet!”

Charlie nodded with satisfaction and uttered, “Everyone, all of you are our witnesses. Whoever goes back on the bet would have his father, mother, grandpa, and grandma die!”

He intentionally emphasized the word ‘grandma’ loudly and clearly, for he didn’t want Harold to break their promise after he lost.

Harold wouldn’t dare to go back on his words after such a statement. If he did repent, he would be cursing his grandmother, Lady Wilson, to die! Lady Wilson would not let him off the hook so easily!

“Okay!” Harold thought that he was on the winning side, but what Harold didn’t know was that he was jumping right into Charlie’s trap. He laughed loudly and said, “Everyone, you’ll be my witness, I’ll wait for you to kneel before me!”

Claire was startled by the entire event that she kept signalling to Charlie with her eyes, but he turned a blind eye to her.

Lady Wilson couldn’t care less about the bet. Her only concern was whether the Wilson Group could take a spot in Emgrand Group’s collaboration list. If the deal was on, she wouldn’t even mind if Harold called Charlie his daddy, let alone kneel before him.

Thus, she said calmly, “Okay, that’s all for today. Claire, you have three days to negotiate and strike the deal. Dismiss!”

***

After returning home, Claire’s parents threw a fist at the young couple.

Claire’s mother, Elaine Wilson, paced the living room agitatedly and said, “Claire, you’re crazy! How could you listen to the loser and accept the task without thinking it through?”

Claire’s father, Jacob Wilson, turned to Charlie and chided, “Charlie, you hopeless loser, you’ve pushed my darling daughter right into the grave this time!”

His face flushed in red as he continued, “If Claire fails this time, she will be elbowed by the rest of the family, and you! You’ll have to bow to Harold like a peasant in front of the whole family! My dignity will be ruined!”

Charlie said earnestly, “Dad, Mom, everything will be alright if Claire succeeds in the negotiation and strikes the deal, am I right?”

“Negotiate my a*s!” Jacob growled furiously, “Do you have any idea how powerful Emgrand Group is? They won’t even bat an eye at the mediocre Wilson family!”

Charlie said with a smile, “Maybe someone will bat an eye at us, you don’t know that. Honestly, I have confidence in Claire, I think Claire will strike the deal easily.”

Elaine sneered scornfully. “You think? Who are you, do you think you are the owner of Emgrand Group? You are nothing but a loser, a piece of trash, how do you dare be so ignorant and confident?”

    After that, the locomotive changed direction through the main line, and after waiting for about ten minutes, it moved out of Duca Mines.After watching the video, Charlie couldn't help but sigh as he said, "Well, it's a virtually impregnable fortress, what with its central zone built like a prison. With the vast clearings that serve as a buffer, it's very difficult to get in quietly. The only possibility is the train."Merlin nodded and asked the driver a few questions before saying," Apparently, the mines had to improve security because of a case a few years ago—someone once snuck into the factory area, killed a couple of finance staff members, and robbed them of millions."There was another case where precision machinery worth millions was stolen, too, whereas stealing the phosphate carts is almost common. Since most cases like those would be allowed to turn cold, Duca Mines was very upset, so they decided to take matters into their own hands."Charlie chuckled. "What a perfect s

    As Merlin finished, he asked the driver to open one of the videos to the moment they wanted to check.Once the driver had done so, he stepped aside respectfully and gestured invitingly to Merlin.The footage showed the locomotive entering Duca Mines' platform. From a distance, it looked just like a barren wasteland, as it was a vast and yellow-white flatland. On both sides of the railroad were a ton of phosphate mining machinery, working rapidly and efficiently.They also noticed something suspicious—the people in Duca Mines weren't just extracting phosphate, but also constructing iron towers at least 20 to 30 meters high.While it looked like a transmission tower, it had a suspicious platform that people could stand on.Judging from the video itself and the number of workers welding the platform, some seven or eight people could stand on it at the same time. And there were at least a dozen towers just like that one, built on various corners of the entire mining area, with several

    Most of the employees in the classification yard had already left for the night, and it was empty aside from those loading and unloading the freight trains.In the night, the deputy manager led Charlie and Merlin to a rail check not far from the management office, where the freight train coming from Duca Mines was detached, and the freight carriages would sit there for the night.Charlie stood aside, waiting for the driver to stop before invading his mind and investigating the train manifest.Soon, a train horn was heard in the distance, and a few minutes later, the freight train loaded with phosphate slowly entered the station.The deputy manager had brought his walkie-talkie and barked orders until the train steered into the platform where it was supposed to stop.Dozens of technicians and other workers responsible for detaching the carriages or unloading were already waiting there. Once the train stopped, the technicians worked to decouple the train, while others began to unloa

    Charlie was no butcher, just as he was not a cold military strategist who was willing to sacrifice his own forces to ensure a final victory—his conscience wouldn't allow it.Therefore, he wouldn't tip the government unless it was absolutely necessary.Pausing in thought for a while, he turned to Merlin, "Let's think about this from another perspective. If anything, we should feel lucky if there's really cutting-edge security equipment being delivered to Duca Mines—because we've found them before they could install it."Merlin was speechless for a whileWhat Charlie had said made sense, but it was also just Charlie's speculation.And any speculation was just speculation until evidence proved it completely, and operating on mere speculation could prove fatal, as nasty surprises might be in store.Nevertheless, he also didn't need to refute Charlie's speculation at this time. After all, Charlie's speculation was not fully confirmed, and he didn't have anything that refuted it. If he

    Charlie wanted to know what items were being delivered to Duca Mines on this occasion.As Merlin quickly asked the deputy manager, but in French, the man promptly passed him the rail schedules for tomorrow.Merlin flipped through the schedule and eventually told Charlie, "It's the third train tomorrow that will be heading to Duca Mines. It has twenty freight carriages containing goods, and six of them have refrigerated compartments. The rest are conventional carriages."In addition, the train is listed under Moore Trading—that's the company which Duca Mines commissions for their imports. That would also mean they are the exporter of Duca Mines' phosphates and assisting them with importing new industrial equipment."Charlie asked, "Is there an inventory? Cargo manifests?""Yes," Merlin nodded. "Beef and miscellaneous US meat products: 120 tons. Dairy products: 40 tons, imported grains… and so on. According to the customs clearance form, the rest are mostly industrial and mining equ

    Merlin nodded. "Take us to him."The security guard promptly replied, "Please, follow me."After that, he immediately turned and headed inside as Charlie and Merlin followed him to the second office at the very end of the second floor.As the security guard pointed at the door, Merlin walked up to it and knocked twice."Come in," a voice inside said in French.As Merlin opened the door with Charlie right behind him, the man exclaimed in surprise when he saw them, "Who are you people?"Still, Charlie had reached into his mind even as he finished speaking, and he turned to Merlin and said, "Go on, ask him about the freight management here and Duca's transport records—ideally, their railway usage."Merlin immediately did so, once again speaking in French.The deputy manager promptly gave them the full picture.As it turned out, Duca Mines transported nearly 40 million tons of phosphate every year, of which more than 10 million tons were exported as raw materials. The rest were re
