Chapter 10

Autor: 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 7761

    Charlie quickly passed through the cavern chamber and the tunnel, and soon found the cavern entrance.It must be daytime as it was really bright outside, and the warmth meant it couldn't have been the South Pole. As Charlie approached the cave entrance, he suddenly recalled the embarrassing scene of being teleported by Vera's ring for the first time. He immediately looked down at himself, and was relieved that things were different now. The first time the ring teleported him, Coldie's self-destruction had ripped his clothes to shreds, leaving him completely naked when he teleported to Vera's side. This time, not compelled by danger to teleport, even his clothes and belongings were sent here with him. If anything, after his bloody battle with Barlin, his clothes were a little shredded by Barlin's Infinite Sword technique. Along with all the cuts and gashes, he was quite the gruesome sight, so he thought to himself that it would be best to stay away from other people in case he

    Charlie himself had been to many cultivator temples, but not one had such vivid sculptures. After all, everything from posture, facial features, facial expression, down to their limbs was sculpted to perfection. They looked more real than the person, projecting both authority and compassion as if they really were smiling at Charlie.Charlie had no idea how Buddhism was linked to Daoism, and he himself leaned toward cultivator legacies that he inherited. So in his heart, the Trinity were his progenitor mentors, which was why he bowed in front of all three statues piously before he left.However, just as he was about to leave, a circle shimmering with golden light and inscribed with numerous runes suddenly appeared beneath his feet. As the circle flashed, its golden light illuminating Charlie's body intensified, and it became blinding. Suddenly, Charlie could no longer see himself, only the golden light.In an instant, Charlie suddenly felt as if his body had been instantly draine

    As Charlie tread alone through the unblemished ancient streets, he was all the more shocked.Over dozens of thousands could live here considering the scale of the city, and he couldn't imagine that many cultivators living here in the same place when you couldn't even gather hundreds of them these days.After walking around the city, Charlie was as shocked as he was disappointed—aside from the furnace that couldn't be moved, there was none of the infinite cultivation treasures Barlin had expected.There just wasn't a single mystic pill, mystic relic, or even cultivation manuals. Aside from the dense Reiki in the air, there wasn't anything that helped cultivation.And that left Charlie utterly confused. Considering the caliber of cultivators before the Degenerate Age of Dharma, why didn't they leave anything behind? Could they have taken everything with them when they left? That didn't make sense—with the amount of Reiki generated to keep this massive city running, personal prope

    Charlie gingerly opened one of the doors—it wasn't locked, and had no lock mechanisms at all.Further inside, there weren't even door frames.It was around three thousand square feet—a modest size for a residence, and there just wasn't anything to be found. No laundry area, no storage for food, and certainly no cages where livestock were kept.In fact, there wasn't even a well—it was all clean marble tile floors, the building itself and nothing else.Charlie strode past the courtyard toward the row of three buildings. He looked into the main building first, but there wasn't any furniture, only exquisitely woven straw mats, circular meditation pads for cultivation.The buildings to the left and the right didn't even have a bedroom in the traditional sense. There was only a sealed chamber for cultivation in the building to the left, and a crib to the right, as well as some wooden toys.Aside from newborns, Charlie had the feeling that those living here would have reached high cul

    However, Charlie himself found the answer even as the question came to mind.He had no idea when the Degenerate Age of Dharma had started, specifically, only that it had already begun when Marcius Stark attained enlightenment, judging from his experiences.That meant this place was built before the Tang Dynasty… if not before prehistory, so the tower here must have come before the one he saw during the height of the Tang Dynasty.According to what he saw in that lucid vision, the pagoda was built by Saint Jerome, countless cultivators, and the Tang court. Why did they imitate the appearance of the pagoda in this plaza? A replica, or perhaps a religious design?And if this pagoda was a totem that was cultivated before the Degenerate Age of Dharma, that explained why that other pagoda was built during the Tang Dynasty.With the Degenerate Age of Dharma, cultivators could be split into two—the ones who decided to move to Antarctica and built the Gate of Transcendence for one final

    With that in mind, Charlie braced himself and vaulted into the cave. The barrier that stopped Barlin seemed nonexistent as he fell unimpeded.And while he expected darkness, everything around him suddenly brightened the moment he fell through. He then noticed that, despite the narrow passage, the cave itself was infinitely larger. What was an opening just enough for one person to get through now could accommodate an army marching in formation.The surrounding stone walls were incredibly smooth, and numerous runes that Charlie couldn't understand were carved into the dark rock. Each rune emitted a warm yellow light, illuminating the surroundings.And as far as the eye could see, the passage went up to 1500 feet deep. Here, the Antarctic chill was completely gone, replaced by a comfortable climate with an optimal temperature of 78 degrees, along with a decent oxygen density and humidity.What Charlie found even more amazing was that the gravity here seemed different from the outsid

    Meanwhile, in an effort to get Charlie to spare her and let her off, Lilian had knelt on the ground and kowtowed as she knocked her head on the ground repeatedly until it was already swollen. However, Charlie did not buy it at all.Charlie knew what kind of person she was.Lilian was simply a brute! S

    Jasmine naturally had to step up and defend her sweetheart when she saw him getting ridiculed by Dylan.At this moment, Charlie smiled indifferently before he took another Rejuvenating Pill out of his pocket. After that, he laughed as he said, “Look! I have plenty of this. It is naturally impossible

    After promising to watch Aurora’s competition, Charlie brought her back to the banquet.There were even more guests who had arrived at the banquet at this time, and the atmosphere gradually became even livelier.When Lord Moore heard that Charlie was already here, he hurried out to greet him. However,

    When Zeke heard this, he said in excitement, “It is an honor for me to be able to serve you, Master Wade!”After that, Zeke hurriedly said, “Master Wade, I brought more than two hundred plants here with me today. If we were to plant and cultivate all of it today, it will definitely take a long time.
