Chapter 10

Author: 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 6848

    As all the armed cavalry guards immediately began working overtime to double the production capacity, Charlie, Penny, and Roy led them to the underground mine where thousands of dead soldiers and their families were held.There were three points of entry into the mine, with two originally designed for mining and transporting raw phosphate to the surface, and one for ventilation.Still, that vent was now blocked with arm-thick iron bars, making escape impossible while still ensuring ventilation.The two other paths were also reinforced with heavy steel doors, and the armed cavalry guards of the Third Company had people guarding them and the elevator.With the doors locked and the elevator kept under strict control, there was no chance the dead soldiers below the mines could escape. Moreover, the dead soldiers were basically prisoners while the armed cavalry guards were prison guards, even though they were basically treated no differently.Still, the dead soldiers could not leave th

    While the compound could improve each individual's combat ability, the unstable essential qi was also a time bomb that would attack the meridians and the internal organs, killing them instantly unless they took the antidote punctually.On the other hand, Charlie's pill had pure essential qi and a minor dose of Reiki, and both would quickly nullify that unstable essential qi as both elements worked against the other.The unstable essential qi had long since become a shackle over the armed cavalry guards' body and soul. They could constantly feel it since they were born, which was why they could tell the instant those shackles were broken. Everyone in the room was therefore overjoyed, some of them even sharing hugs and bursting into tears.After all, it was theirs and their forebears' wish to be free from those shackles.The faint amount of Reiki in the poison was the element that prevented them from nullifying the poison, and the only solution was a greater dose of Reiki.While C

    Though Charlie's question was calm and nonchalant, everyone else in the room immediately became restless.Still, they already resented everything about the Qing Eliminating Society from the second Roy had informed them about the transition.Nevertheless, when this stranger suddenly barged in and offered a chance for them to be free, all of them were skeptical except for Roy.After all, being free from the Qing Eliminating Society didn't just mean escaping from the mines. The most important part of it was to clear the poison in their bodies, or they would die all the same in days, even if they made it out.That was when Roy spoke, "Comrades! The reason I've gathered everyone here is to discuss our plan with this gentleman. He has braved the dangers of infiltrating this base and promised to get everyone out of here, including the dead soldiers!"He will also remove the poison from our bodies, freeing us from the Qing Eliminating Society's enslavement, and we will no longer be apart

    Charlie asked, "You're trying to find your mother?""Yes!" Penny nodded repeatedly, but she soon quickly added, "Please don't misunderstand, Sir—I don't intend to travel there and find her right away. I will follow whatever you arrange."Charlie nodded. "If you properly cooperate and do what I ask, I can consider sending you to Oskia and help you find your mother."Penny was awash with gratitude. "Thank you, Mr. Wade! I will definitely cooperate—whatever you need!"Charlie nodded again. "The leaders of the armed cavalry guards are waiting in the conference room. Join us, and we will draft the evacuation plan tonight.""Yes, Mr. Wade!" Penny promptly replied.-The leaders of the armed cavalry guards had been waiting in the conference room for a while after Roy summoned them.He didn't tell them about Charlie just yet, only briefing them on details regarding the Transition.Just hearing that left the leaders hanging their heads in despondence, utterly demoralized.They could c

    Hearing what Penny said about the poison, Charlie quickly extended his Reiki to examine her body—sure enough, there was an atypical poison flowing in her veins, and it was identical to the one he had found in Ruby's body.He couldn't help but sigh, "Poisoning you even before she has met you? That sounds just like her."Pausing, he added, "Well, you're poisoned the same way the Four Earls were. I don't think I can counteract it right now, but I definitely can do it before you die."Penny frowned. "The Four Earls… were poisoned too?"Charlie nodded. "And it's not just poison. There's a ward embedded within their bodies that makes them no different from time bombs. If Fleur truly brings you in to train you personally, you'd likely end up no different."With that, he told Penny about the ward in Ruby's pineal gland, which left her gaping in disbelief. "L-Lady Griffin really did that?!"Charlie shrugged. "Do you think I have a reason to lie?"Penny shook her head, convinced right the

    Pausing, Penny then continued, "Furthermore, most cultivators who gained enlightenment don't necessarily have the disposition to fully flourish. It takes great talent for anyone to even reach the Four Earls' level of mastery."Therefore, my family is nothing more than a tool for the Griffins to continue their lineage, and Lady Griffin herself has never shown us any respect. In fact, the reason I gained enlightenment when I was sixteen was because someone from the Griffin came to us, scouting for girls of marriageable age. He discovered that I had reached the Dark Realm and immediately reported it to the governor."The governor was shocked, too, since he had never met anyone who had reached the Dark Realm at sixteen before me, and he promptly reported the matter to Lady Griffin. It just so happened that she had been actively searching for individuals with the talent to gain enlightenment, or talented individuals who had already achieved enlightenment. She'd then recruit them to the Qi
