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 7779

    "Now?" Charlie's words left Vera confused despite her usual sharp wit, and it showed all over her face. "It's the polar winter. Aren't ships unable to cross the Roaring Forties?""Never said anything about a ship," Charlie replied, smiling.Vera was even more shocked. "Then, are we flying? It's hard for normal planes to take off or land at the South Pole."Charlie kept his mysterious smile. "Never said anything about a plane either."Vera was left mystified, but there were only two ways to travel connecting Aurous Hill and the South Pole—flying or sailing.So if Charlie said it was neither, what else could it be? Then, remembering the portal Charlie used to bring her here to the subterranean city, she exclaimed in shock, "Are there portals we can use to leave the South Pole?"Charlie nodded at her in surprise—he always thought highly of her mind, but she also kept raising the bar. "You really are smart. You got it in no time at all!""You're exaggerating," Vera smiled humbly

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 7778

    A hundred years was about the natural lifespan of normal humans, but for cultivators, two hundred years—even millennia, was just the start.During secluded cultivation, the better the conditions such as Reiki concentration in the surroundings, the deeper the cultivator would sink into their trance.However, Charlie was completely different from Marcius—the latter could abandon his sense of self and all worldly matters for cultivation, after all.It was something Charlie simply couldn't do, for he found his family, friends, and confidantes all too precious to him. He couldn't bear the thought of only emerging years or decades of seclusion, and finding everything had changed.Vera naturally understood that—she had long since come to see his loyalty and compassion, and that he was no zealot who would sacrifice everything else for cultivation. Therefore, how could he willingly waste his prime years in endless cultivation?So, she smiled and told Charlie, "If you're that worried about

    Charlie wasn't sure if the portal could transport others, and once he told Vera and had her prepare herself mentally, he held her hand and repeated the incantation.There was a flash, and his vision was lost for a second while his sense of touch remained, so he could feel that he never released Vera's hand, while she didn't free herself from his grip either.And before his vision returned, he realized that he could teleport with others who didn't have the ring or cultivation.When they could see again, they were in the plaza of the subterranean city, with the pagoda standing right before them.Vera was at once shocked, as she never teleported herself, having only seen her father and Charlie teleport toward her.In the blink of an eye, she no longer stood under the aurora of the Antarctic, and was instead standing in the middle of a warm, comfortable subterranean city.Even as she turned toward Charlie, gaping, she asked, "Where are we, Mr. Wade?"Charlie replied, "The city where

    Vera exclaimed in surprise. "A void pocket? As if the ring contains a virtual space that doesn't exist in the real world?"Charlie thought about it, but shook his head. "Not virtual space—it's a higher dimension that was folded into the ring by some masterstroke. There's about three basketball courts worth of space in there."At a thought, a spirit stone the size of an ostrich's egg appeared in his palm out of nowhere, leaving Vera gaping.Then, with just a thought, it disappeared back into his ring.Vera exclaimed, "So cultivators of that era were capable of such wonders?""There's actual wonders in comparison, but you'd understand when we get there," Charlie replied, smiling.Vera was curious, but since Charlie was deliberately keeping her in suspense, she didn't ask.Hours later, their snow tractor arrived outside the icy pit Barlin dug, and Charlie stopped beside it. "We've arrived. Let's go."Vera nodded and alighted, and seeing the dark pit, asked, "Did you dig that?"Ch

    For Ruby and Penny, Vera's statement was as enlightening as it cleared doubts or embarrassment they felt inside.In the end, the greatest gift a cultivator could give another cultivator wasn't mystic pills, spirit stones, or weapons, but cultivation manuals.It was basically the principle of 'Teach a man to fish', and the fact that Charlie wasn't holding out on them on anything—whether it was mystic pills, spirit stones, or cultivation manuals, made them understand one thing.There was just no point in refusing Charlie's generosity, and using his gifts to the best of their ability was the only proper way to repay that kindness.Hence, Ruby stood up first and bowed her head at Charlie in gratitude. "Thank you for taking such good care of us, Mr. Wade. I vow to dedicate my life to your service!""It's the same for me!" Penny nodded.Their gratitude was clear as day, and Charlie smiled. "That's enough courtesy talk. Anyway, you shall both stay here, and do your best to cultivate wit

    Charlie smiled and nodded. While he believed that mastering the incantation to activate the portals was as amusing as it was practical, he wasn't in a rush.The subterranean city filled with Reiki already surprised him plenty. Whether it was the ring with a void storage or the portal connected to different corners of the world, all of it was there and waiting for him to use them to their maximum potential.Hence, he told the three women, "Wait here."He returned to his room, summoning four chicken-egg-sized spirit stones into his palm with just a thought.Then, returning to the women's room, he handed Ruby and Penny the spirit stones. "Keep these. They are spirit stones—you can absorb the Reiki from one, and save the other."Both Rub and Penny were left gaping.They had never seen spirit stones, but hearing Charlie telling what those spirit stones were immediately prompted them to reach out through Reiki and see if the pebbles really were spirit stones.Naturally, they were bo

    Ever since Tyler and Reuben’s plot to murder Jasmine had failed, exposing them and ultimately causing Charlie to throw them to a diamond mine in the Republic of Sierra Leone in Africa, Jasmine’s position in the Moore family was even steadier as compared to the past. In the past, Lord Moore had been

    When he saw that Rosalie recognized his origins immediately, Charlie smiled slightly before he said calmly, “Yes. I could be regarded as a member of the Wade family, or perhaps, I was a member of the Wade family before this.”Rosalie thought for a moment before she muttered, “If you were a member of

    When lady Wilson heard what the man had to say, she felt as if she was struck by lightning. She just stood there on the spot, dumbfounded.Helplessly, she begged. “Young lads, can I trouble you to make a call to Mr. Webb? Please tell him that our family has exhausted all our finances, and we need him
