Chapter 10

작가: Lord Leaf
Everyone was stunned upon the sudden roar.

Everyone hurriedly took out their phones and searched for Emgrand Group’s official social media account!

Indeed!

The certified official account of Emgrand Group had posted the latest statement!

A shock wave swept the conference room as the post was announced!

Claire really did strike the deal! With twice the intended total value!

It only took half an hour!

How was it possible? How was it so easy?

It didn’t make any sense!

Harold was feeling shocked and regretted!

Before today, Claire Wilson was incomparable to himself in terms of status or identity.

If he had accepted the task yesterday, he would not give Claire a chance to shine herself regardless of the results!

Yet, he refused because he feared that he would fail!

He refused the mission, but the crucial point was that Claire had succeeded!

It was like a loud slap to his face!

Instantly, Lady Wilson picked up the contract excitedly and started reading it. Then, she let out a loud laugh. “Good! Good! Very good! Claire, you’ve done an excellent job!”

After that, she asked, “How did you do it?”

Claire answered, “It is all thanks to Miss Doris Young. She thinks highly of us, the Wilson family.”

Claire wanted to be truthful, but after a second thought, she didn’t even know who the chairman of Emgrand Group was. No one would believe her if she said the truth.

Upon hearing this, Harold felt as if his heart had been stabbed a million times and he wanted to die!

It was no wonder Claire could win the contract!

It turned out that Doris Young of Emgrand Group herself thought highly of the Wilson family!

Did it mean that it wouldn’t have mattered who had gone, after all?

He berated himself for missing such a great opportunity!

At this moment, Charlie spoke, “Harold, do you still remember our bet?”

In an instant, Harold’s face twisted in a disdainful grimace.

How could he forget about the bet? Whoever lost the bet must grovel at the other party’s feet.

Claire had won the contract, so it was obvious that he had lost…

‘No! No way! How can I grovel at that loser’s feet! Over my dead body!’

He gritted his teeth and sneered. “Charlie Wade, who the h*ll do you think you are? You are just a useless toyboy who married into our family! Do you expect me to bow before you?”

Charlie said flatly, “Yes, indeed, I’m a useless toyboy, but remember, we took an oath yesterday. Whoever breaks their promise would have his mother, father, grandpa, and grandma die!”

Again, he deliberately emphasized the word ‘grandma’.

Sure enough, a layer of black covered Lady Wilson’s face!

She glared at Harold and asked coldly, “What about it? Do you really want me to die?”

Harold panicked and blurted, “Grandma, don’t fall for his trick! He just wants to humiliate me and to deride you!”

Charlie said calmly, “Harold, don’t you try to fool Grandma now. Don’t forget that you’ve made a vow. If you go against it, you’ll be condemned. Do you want to curse Grandma?”

“Grandma, we were just joking, you can’t take it seriously!”

Lady Wilson wore an inexpressive look on her face and said, “You know that I’m a devoted Buddhist. How dare you break the promise after swearing to God?!”

“Grandma…”

Harold genuinely panicked now, because it was clear that his grandma was really angry!

Seeing Harold’s reluctance in keeping his promise that involved herself to save his face, Lady Wilson slapped the table fiercely and yelled, “Are you determined to break your oath now?”

“Grandma, I…” Harold stuttered hesitantly. In his mind, he made a quick deduction.

If he abided by the betting rule and admitted his defeat to Charlie, he would lose face.

But if he went against the bet and enraged his grandma, he would lose everything he had in the Wilson family! He would lose more than his face!

No matter how reluctant he was, he gritted his teeth and muttered, “Alright! I’ll keep my promise!”

Charlie glanced at him quietly with a smile, waiting for him to come and kneel before him.

Harold felt as if his legs were filled with lead. He strode slowly and with difficulty as he moved towards Charlie.

He was so agitated that his whole body was shivering, clenching his teeth annoyingly. But then, his legs went jelly and he knelt on the ground.

Thump!

Some of the busybody onlookers even quietly retrieved their phones and aimed it at them.

Harold bowed his head and said with a loud yet trembling voice, “I’m sorry!”

Then, he leaned over and knocked his head against the floor.

Charlie uttered, “What did you say? I can’t hear you, speak louder and clearer.”

Enduring the humiliation, Harold bowed his head again and shouted, “I’m sorry!”

Charlie sneered, “Oh, you’re sorry. What are you sorry for?”

Inside Harold, he wanted to kill and shred Charlie into a million pieces, but there was still one last bow.

Thus, he bit his lips and said, “I shouldn’t have doubted Claire’s ability…”

Another bow to the floor!

Charlie felt a dash of spring breeze surging through his body!

He had been holding a grudge against Harold for a long time. Now that he had the opportunity to make Harold kneel on the floor like a dog and admit his mistakes, he felt so refreshed and excited!

Claire’s eyes widened in astonishment as she watched the entire event unfolding, suddenly feeling that her husband was different from before!

However, she couldn’t really tell what the difference was.

When she recalled the confident look on Charlie’s face when he had made the bet with Harold yesterday, she couldn’t help but wonder if he had already known that she would succeed.

Where and why did he have such strong confidence all of a sudden?

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 7681

    Charlie then remembered. "That reminds me. When will personnel from the research base come back?"Heiji thought about it. "There is a fuel transport team that comes and goes, maybe a couple of days to move fuel. They should arrive in another two or three hours."The research station's fuel consumption was enormous. Even during the Antarctic summer, their research station had burned through their reserves to this degree. In fact, despite having such a big crew, the research team members were never this busy either.Currently, almost all vehicles and helicopters were operating continuously outdoors. Radar scanning required a large amount of electricity, so the internal combustion engines on these vehicles and aircraft consumed an additional amount of fuel for power.In the Antarctic winter, the Japanese research helicopters were equipped with ice radar and consumed approximately two tons of fuel per hour—truly fuel guzzlers.And to ensure operations continued without interruption, t

    To Charlie's knowledge, the only benefit the South Pole had for cultivators was to stay away from the hustle and bustle of modern society—nothing else.Moreover, even if it kept them free from the mundane, there were no rare herbs or natural treasures to help, be it for cultivation or for making pills.In fact, Charlie himself wouldn't be here if he weren't chasing after the aurora hand seals.However, since the elder of the Qing Eliminating Society had come in person and taken the entire Japanese expedition team as his slaves, he must be searching for some valuable treasure unknown to Charlie. For a moment, Charlie instinctively felt a surge of excitement. If there were truly something valuable in Antarctica, wouldn't it be a huge windfall if he could find it before the Qing Eliminating Society elder? But Charlie stopped himself, as he knew his limits. Even with Ruby and Penny combined, the three of them were no match for the elder of the Qing Eliminating Society. In fact,

    Moreover, considering that the ship wasn't meant to be used as the base of operations, it was likely that the elder wouldn't return here personally, and there was no risk of being discovered.Hence, Charlie quickly made up his mind to use a stronger burst of Reiki to clear Heiji's mind, and then mind-bend him again.Once the mindbending took effect, Charlie asked, "What's the name of the person who told you to remain here?""The Lord of the Winter Manor," Heiji promptly replied."The Lord of the Winter Manor?"Charlie was left baffled, but tapped into his phone to bring up a photo of the Qing Eliminating Society elder they had lost track of, and showed it to Heiji. "Is he this man?"Heiji promptly nodded. "Yes, that's him."His response didn't surprise Charlie at all. "Where is he now?""The Griffin Winter Manor, most likely," Heiji replied.Charlie raised a brow. "The Griffin Winter Manor? Where is it?"Since Barlin styled himself as the Lord of the Winter Manor, he treated

    While Heiji started singing at the top of his lungs along with the song, he suddenly noticed a figure beside him, and couldn't move at all before he knew it.Seeing Charlie, he was obviously horrified!For Charlie's part, he had no idea if Heiji knew Oskian, but considering that the research crew would have at least attended college and therefore know English, he prepared to project his Reiki and mind-bend the Japanese man.However, Charlie just reached into Heiji's mind when he noticed the other strand of Reiki that was already bending the man's mind.Charlie was at once wary—another cultivator, here, in the Antarctic?!This had to be the last of the Three Elders they were tracking!The last report on his whereabouts was in Ushuaia, and Charlie was worried if the man was on his trail, only for Earthnet to lose track of him.Naturally, he had no idea that Barlin stopped using public transport to reach the Antarctic, instead taking a fishing boat, waiting along the Japanese resea

    His tone determined, Charlie once again refused, "We're extremely isolated and the environment is at best hostile. Help won't arrive in time if anyone gets hurt—I'll at least have peace of mind if Ms. Chain and Ms. Singer are watching you."Seeing that he was dead set, Vera nodded. "Just be careful."Nanako soon provided Charlie with the coordinates of the stranded ship, which was around 180 miles from Charlie's position. While it was past the shoreline in the summer, the sea had since frozen over, so he could just walk.Sure, the coastal area was flat, and snow tractors would be quicker, taking at most a five-hour journey, but it was big and loud, making him easily detectable.As such, Charlie decided to drive and stop around thirty miles out, and then proceed on foot.With that, he picked one of the lighter snow tractors and sped out of the Norway research base, stopping and turning off the lights in the snow as planned.At the same time, he focused his Reiki on his soles—not e

    Having been on the Elliot, Charlie could see that everything from the tech to the design of a research vessel was twice as complex and sophisticated than what one would see in two modern ships put together.In other words, it didn't make sense that it would break down that easily.Furthermore, the research crew had been using helicopters without informing the ministry, even turning off trackers while they did. It gave the sense that they weren't stranded, but were staying in the Antarctic deliberately.The motive in itself was… peculiar.They were all researchers, so it should only be the fresh crew who should be conducting any operations themselves in the Antarctic. And once the plans were finalized, they would have made all the necessary preparations before departure, including personnel, supplies and equipment.In that case, there was absolutely no need for the research crew here for the summer to schedule a return at all, or for the research vessel to remain in Antarctica.B

    At the same time, Jake continued punching and hitting Aaron until he knocked him unconscious. After that, he woke him up with two tight slaps across his face before he continued to hit him again…Aaron’s old classmates could only watch in amazement, but none of them dared to step forward to stop him

    The girl dropped all her lines of defense completely when she saw how generous he was. Therefore, she was especially curious to find out more about Kian.Just then, Kian’s cell phone suddenly rang. He looked at the caller ID and found out that it was Luna who was calling him. He could not help but fr

    At this moment, someone shouted from outside, “Guys, Mr. Lee is here. Quick, get two young men to help carry him up the stairs.”Jacob finally breathed a sigh of relief and urged Charlie, “Hurry, go and help.”Charlie nodded.Aaron said to Jake as well, “You too. We old folks are not as strong as the y

    Charlie rounded his arm and slapped him, causing Kian to stagger and fall to the ground.Kian had had an overly affectionate upbringing, and he had never even been poked before, moreover a slap. He got up and roared, “Motherf*cker! I’ll kill you!”“Kill me?” Charlie asked in a cold voice. “Listen care
