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 7793

    As a rule, the void ring required physical contact with the object for a deposit into the inside of the void pocket. That was not necessary when making a withdrawal—Charlie just had to imagine where he wanted the object placed, and it would be placed there.Charlie hence focused his concentration on the thousands of slabs of marble, imagining in his mind where he wanted them.And in an instant, they materialized out on the floor of the plaza. The weight-length ratio of each slab was one to seven, and it thus formed a square when seven were placed adjacent to each other. While Charlie arranged them into a bigger square with an empty center, he stacked up to seven layers of slabs. Once the first layer was done, he lay the second layer horizontally so each layer intersected at a 90 degree angle, ensuring balance instead of directly stacking them over each other.Soon, as more marble slabs flew out of the void pocket into a wall around him, Charlie took Vera's hand and leaped to the

    Even though they quickly passed through the airport by pulling strings, the journey still took at least four hours—two hours was spent in flight, while at least one hour was spent in the car.After all, Crane's Cry was far away from Westron's cities. The dozen mile journey wasn't all that far, and an hour was the optimal travel duration considering the complicated paths.And that's just reaching the mountain—they still needed an hour to walk to the cave where the portal was, since Charlie was with Vera.If they had a helicopter, that certainly spared them a lot of time, needing just twenty minutes instead of traveling by car.As they alighted and trekked up Crane's Cry along the lightless mountain road, it was another hour before they finally reached the cave where the portal was hidden.Holding Vera's hand, Charlie cast the mental incantation in his mind, and they were suddenly inside.It was dark outside, but the interior of the cave had a mild, comfortable glow just like the A

    Vera agreed with Charlie—the ring itself could teleport an owner it acknowledged, and that already made it one of the best forms of transportation there was. In fact, those ancient cultivators who reigned before the Degenerate Age of Dharma didn't even need a fixed point portal to teleport from one place to another—they could have just gone to any place they liked with the ring.And yet, for some reason, the teleportation function of the ring could only be triggered when it's life-or-death situations…However, even as Charlie was left utterly confused, Vera was racking her brains and then suggested an idea, "Perhaps the ring does have a teleportation function, but you had yet to trigger it?"Charlie was left taken aback for three seconds, and cringed as he admitted solemnly, "Well, that makes sense…"He trailed off, when it came to his mind and he quickly asked, "In that case, why make those nine portals across the world?"Vera smiled as she explained her idea. "Let's consider t

    Vera yelped in fright—she had never seen so many bugs swarming in a split second, and promptly hid behind Charlie.Charlie wasn't afraid of insects, but was still more or less unsettled seeing such a dense swarm, and hence channeled his Reiki into a strong gale, blowing them away.Still a little confused, Vera asked, "Where did those bugs come from? That's too many…"Charlie shook his head somberly. "They were probably dwelling in the soil I took.""Dwelling?" Vera blurted in surprise. "You can't move them along with the soil?"Charlie was surprised by Vera's quick thinking once again, and thought about it. "Probably not. But I didn't think of them when I moved the soil, so the technique didn't move them as well."Vera nodded in understanding. "That means any form of fauna can be put inside, only flora.""That's right," Charlie replied. "As the void pocket has no concept of time, plants won't grow further… But it seems that any form of fauna—even the non-sentient—can't be put in

    The helicopter soon arrived in the woods south of Aurous Hill, where Coldie had blown himself up.The crater was now filled with life, with wild tall grass thriving. However, with the trees blown away, it was a perfect circular dent in the ground that they could land on safely.Vera handily turned off the ignition, and the rotors slowly stopped.As she got off with Charlie, she suddenly turned sharply back to stare at the light helicopter and asked, "Do you think you can put that in the void pocket too?"Charlie smiled and nodded. "Sure, since it's quite spacious in there."Vera grinned at him expectantly. "Well, can you demonstrate?"Seeing the sparkle in her eyes, Charlie naturally decided against being a buzzkill. Putting his palms on the helicopter, he thought of the mental incantation to insert objects into the void pocket.The helicopter disappeared instantly, appearing again in the center of the void pocket as he thought in his mind.Vera gaped as Charlie held his palm

    Moreover, buying aircraft wasn't particularly difficult. Unlike passenger planes, cargo planes didn't require ordering from manufacturers and waiting for delivery times that can easily exceed one or two years. Currently, the vast majority of cargo planes in the international air logistics sector were basically converted retired passenger aircraft, accounting for at least 90% of all air cargo fleets—most being over twenty or even thirty years old. Using such aircraft for passenger transport might be nerve-wracking for passengers, but they were perfectly viable for carrying cargo.However, Charlie made one specific request to Isaac: no short-to-medium-range narrow-body cargo planes. While those planes were a lucrative tool for ordinary courier companies operating domestic trunk lines, they were completely useless to him. He needed ultra-long-range cargo planes with a range of over ten thousand miles for dispatching cargo between continents.After instructing Isaac on what to do, Char

    Charlie, who was in the opposite mood from Kathleen, was on his way home.He felt much more relaxed after managing to control Julian. Since Kathleen still wanted to continue hiding her identity, Charlie would continue playing with her.In order to find out Kathleen’s background, he called Porter. “Por

    Helena said extremely gratefully, “Thank you, Mr. Wade...”As she said that, she hesitated for a moment and asked somewhat nervously, “Mr. Wade... You... Will you be able to come and attend my coronation ceremony?”Charlie said apologetically, “Sorry, Helena. I’m in Aurous Hill now, and I can’t go ove

    Although Porter’s meridians were already destroyed, he still had more than enough strength to wield a knife to kill himself.He exhausted all of his strength to thrust the dagger fiercely because he wanted to use this dagger to end his life simply and quickly.The reason why he wanted it to be simple

    This not only made Jeremiah feel really shocked, but it also made him feel a little ashamed. What made him feel ashamed was that he had been making friends everywhere for so many years now, but unexpectedly, at this most critical moment, no one had rushed over here to help him at all.
