Chapter 10

Penulis: 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 7711

    The more stubborn the research crew was, the more motivated the Americans were to make them talk.The White House even issued directives—they were to seize the base and subdue and interrogate the entire crew, while confiscating all their equipment, which would be sent to experts for analysis of usage and the like.With orders direct from the White House, the colonel rallied the American forces and began searching the trail the rogue convoy had left behind while exploring the Antarctic.Charlie waited until they were all gone before leaving the Showa Base too. Still, he didn't return to the Norwegian base right away, instead connecting to satellite networks to send Merlin videos of the Americans abusing the Japanese research crew, along with them boarding armored vehicles and leaving Showa Base.Then, he called Merlin and instructed, "Have the AI module gather contact details of major online influencers—preferably emails, and send them the videos through secure links."Naturally,

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 7710

    After being exposed to sub-zero temperatures, the Japanese crew returned indoors with normal temperatures. The difference of over a hundred degrees immediately left their skin flushed like it was burnt, and the itch got worse than when they were outside, some of them scratching themselves so hard they were bleeding all over.The colonel was surprised that less than a minute outside was enough to inflict such damage.Even he began to worry that he had overdone it.If the Japanese cranked up their protests and the White House felt compelled to do something, he's going to be punished for it.Still, he soon decided he didn't care—the more they dug into this incident, the more suspicious everything looked.If they gave up, they would be missing a huge opportunity—but if they pressed on, he might just score big.They were supposed to move the Japanese crew here to McMurdo base anyway. Since they were hurt, he just had to keep them here a little while until they recover. If they complai

    However, Charlie wasn't about to let the Americans get away with it. He would show evidence to the whole world that they had sent their military to Antarctica.-The Americans moved quickly. In just a couple of hours, they gathered everyone and all the equipment they brought, doing prechecks on their aircraft and transport. The efficiency to do that in such a sub-zero climate was certainly impressive in itself.After just a couple of hours, their aircraft landed near the Showa Base. In an instant, the Navy SEALS and multiple infantry transports surrounded the base.The research crew at Showa Base was still doing Barlin's bidding and exploring the Antarctic. As most of the members weren't around, the Americans quickly seized control and demanded that they radio the others and call them back to base.However, the crew in the base was still fiercely loyal to Barlin and would rather die than betray him. Since their colleagues were out doing Barlin's bidding, no one caved to the colone

    While Goro made a mad dash to the interrogation room, Kohei's body was dangling lifelessly from the washroom door frame.He had hanged himself with his thermal pants, which were woven from materials developed especially for polar regions. It was warm, soothed the skin, breathable, and durable… and now, also proved that it could hang an adult man weighing over 140 pounds.Eerily, unlike others who took their own lives, there was no pain on Kohei's face at all—only a smile of relief.Even as Goro and the Americans present were left standing there helplessly, the medic in their research base hurried over and cut Kohei loose. He attempted resuscitation while trying to feel for a pulse or heartbeat, but Kohei was dead as a doornail.The research base was not a jail or precinct. There weren't any specialized holding cells, and they simply moved Kohei to an empty cabin when they were done with interrogating him. The guards stayed outside to stop him from running, but none of them expect

    Even if those drills could punch through rocks, it was simply not suitable for mining. The drill bit diameter was 122mm—no wider than a kid's bowl. Even if they find gold, the tiny drill wouldn't be precise enough to recoup the equipment costs, let alone the fuel consumption.That was why the Americans quickly agreed that he was lying and was up to something else, and worked on every other crew member.However, no matter what they did, the other crew member wasn't talking at all—literally. Hell, they were even less competent than Kohei because Kohei at least came up with a lie that insulted their intelligence.After all, with the mind-bending technique still active in their minds, they were not bothered by anything the Americans did. Either way, they were not ratting out their lord.That was how powerful that technique was, denying a person even their sense of self-preservation.Meanwhile, the Navy Seals were returning and gathering around McMurdo Base. After the modified transpor

    Barlin kept marching south through the frigid Antarctic night.Even if the cold didn't bother him, it was rapidly draining his Reiki and stamina.He could dig a hole when he arrived dozens of miles away to rest, but the American military had left him completely traumatized and he really didn't want to die.So instead he found himself running some 120 miles, reaching a place where no penguin would nest, and projected a Reiki sword, blowing a hole three feet wide and some ninety feet deep.To cover his tracks, he made sure to melt the ice fragments around the hole into grain-sized pieces, which were blown up into the air by the raging winds and quickly disappeared.After he jumped in, he used Reiki to melt the ice around the hole and send the ice water upward.The sub-zero temperatures froze the water and covered the hole, sealing Barlin inside like a caterpillar.His plan here was simply to wait for the Antarctic summer, while putting on hold his plan to explore the continent for

    They had longed for a rear base for a long time, but unfortunately, due to their special nature, their many attempts had failed. The vast majority of countries and regions could never accept or allow them to build their base in their homeland no matter what it was.Therefore, even though they had a s

    When Charlie saw that she was afraid, he then said to Albert, “Don’t kill her first. Let her talk.”The girl hurriedly said, “Princess Olivia asked us to take Princess Helena… to St. Petersburg in Russia…”Charlie frowned and asked, “Why are you taking her to St. Petersburg?”The girl replied truthfull

    When Charlie said that he was being excessively soft-hearted, this group of members from the Wade family’s collateral families felt that Charlie was simply being extremely shameless.However, after Porter agreed and was singing the same tune as Charlie, all of them were basically so frightened that t

    Olivia was surprised and asked, “You’re not planning to kill him, are you? Although the Wade family is far away in Oskia, we will get into trouble if we really kill their people!”“No.” William waved his hand and spoke up, “I wouldn’t be stupid enough to kill him in Northern Europe. I just want to te
