Charlie did not care too much about the luck and fortune of the Wade’s family and the moving of the ancestral grave. He was not very interested in the members and affairs of the Wade family. All these while, he only cared two things about the Wade family. Number one, where his parents were buried and whether he could pay homage to them. Number two, for whom did his parents suffer and if they were from the Wade family. As for the other matters in the Wade family, he did not want to keep them in his mind. Therefore, after listening to Yule’s introduction on Mount Wintry, Charlie asked, “Uncle, can I go to Mount Wintry to worship?” Yule answered, “Mount Wintry is the Wade family’s ancestral grave. It’s the main spot for good luck and fortune. Normally, the Wade family controls the area strictly and outsiders aren’t allowed to enter. Even if I go, I’ll need to greet the Wade family’s members first and make an appointment. However, since you’re the heir of t
From the looks of Charlie’s parents, they were certainly different from ordinary people. Charlie’s father was very handsome, while Charlie’s mother was very elegant. Her features were exceptionally beautiful and Rachel was no match for her. No matter which era, she would be the only one with very outstanding features.It was a pity that Eastcliff’s talented and capable pair had already long gone. The only things left were mottled images and surviving memories. At that time, Yule had not married yet. Thus, during the wedding ceremony, he stood alone beside Charlie’s father and took a photo with Charlie’s parents. Then, it was the wedding photo of Yule and Rachel. Charlie’s parents were there to congratulate him. Thus, the four of them took a group photo. Next, Charlie was born. The four people in the photo became five. He was swaddled and carried by his mum. Afterward, Quinn was born. As a result, it became six people in the photo. From
At this moment, in the top ward of Golding Group Hospital, the second and third brothers of the Yule family, Adrian and Rogan, had received the first stage of treatment after taking the CT on the affected area. The CT showed that Adrian’s wrist was broken, while Rogan’s bladder was damaged. Although those were not life-threatening, they need to be treated for a while. This was all thanks to Charlie. Golding Group Hospital was a top private hospital that the Golding family had invested in. Although the overall ability was not as good as top tier hospitals like Fairview, it was definitely a leader among the private hospitals. All the top families in Eastcliff had their own private hospitals. Although these hospitals on paper were open to the public, in most circumstances, they did not accept outside patients. Basically, they were exclusively for internal family use only. Now, besides Adrian and Rogan, people who were chased out from Yule’s home by
Nevertheless, shouldn’t the master who retired from the world follow certain basic rules? So, how in the world did someone lose their power just by being pinched on the neck?It was like touching someone in the face and turning them impotent. This defied logic!The two families were saddened and were looking for an opportunity to teach the eldest brother’s son a lesson, but they don’t know his name and have no idea what his background was.The most important fact was that both the warlord and the realm master couldn’t even defeat him. Who else can they ask for help to get rid of this person?Adrian was depressed because he had lost not only a warlord and a realm master but Charlie had also broken his arm. This can be said to be a heavy loss on his side.Adrian had never once felt so helpless. Now, he just wanted to murder Charlie’s entire family.Unfortunately, he had no idea how he could exact his revenge.Rogan was clutching his aching bladder as he saw his second brother fran
When Adrian and Rogan were planning for their better future, Wrigley and Wilhelm, who were by their side, were also drowning in their own thoughts.The three Golding brothers had eight children in total.Yule Golding only had a daughter, Quinn Golding.Meanwhile, Adrian had three children—two daughters and a son, Wrigley Golding.Rogan Golding, on the other hand, had four children—three daughters and a son, Wilhelm Golding.Due to the fact that males were rare in the family, Wrigley and Wilhelm would therefore be the family heirs to inherit their fathers’ property in the future.Wilhelm saw the close relationship between his father and his second uncle, and couldn’t help but look at himself and his cousin Wrigley who was standing next to him. He thought to himself, ‘When I inherit my father’s assets and shares in the future, would I have to be like my father? As in, do I need to find a way to cheat my second uncle? Cheat my own cousin? If I need to use him in the future to achiev
“No problem!” Wrigley replied without hesitation.He had been insulted by Charlie today and he was in a depressed mood. Unexpectedly Wilhelm presented him with an opportunity to vent his anger. Of course he would agree to it immediately…In the evening, Wilhelm and Wrigley came walking out of the hospital. They drove a car to an extremely high-end club in Eastcliff, which was very popular and known as The Number One Mansion.At The Number One Mansion, one has to at least spend ten million dollars to become a VIP.This is because the VIPs here had their own luxurious suites, which includes access to restaurants, KTV, bath house, hot springs, spa services, meeting rooms, and gambling rooms.Additionally, the VIPs also had their own personal butlers and personal attendants. When one was there, they could enjoy living the life of a king!It would be fair to say that most of the members who were there could eat, drink, and play plus also hold business meetings and banquets.Moreover,
The brothers had just left the hospital about half an hour ago, and now both of them hastily made their way back into the hospital again. They wanted to find out what the weird sickness they were facing was. They only trusted their house doctor and it was also to avoid the spreading of unnecessary rumors if they were to ever check themselves into other hospitals.If their followers were to hear the news of the two Golding brothers both being impotent, this would bring shame to their respective families!If this rumor was spread, then they will become the talk of the town and people will be ridiculing them throughout Eastcliff!The two of them returned to the hospital, ignoring their fathers who were recuperating in their room, and immediately rushed directly into the hospital director’s office.The director was preparing to call it a day and suddenly saw the two young masters of the Golding family pacing quickly towards him. He asked immediately, “Good day Mr. Wrigley and Mr. Wilhe
Adrian was trembling as he asked the director of the andrology department, “What the hell is going on? Have you found out the cause of the problem?”The director wiped away the cold sweat and replied, “Mr. Adrian, this issue is really baffling. We’ve tried various methods to investigate the problem but so far, there’s no answer as to why such a phenomenon has occurred. I’ve been studying andrology for decades, and I’ve never seen such cases before…”Adrian was looking at the two sobbing adults, he then frowned and asked, “Is there no cure to this?”The director replied embarrassingly, “Mr. Adrian, whether or not it can be cured is the second part of the problem. Currently, the main issue is to figure out what is going on. We’re completely confused by the current situation…”Adrian felt his blood rush and his mind turned foggy and dizzy. He thought to himself, ‘What the hell is this?!’‘The two adults are both in the twenties and the youngest, Wilhelm, is only in his early twenties
However, Jimmy realized something important even as he sighed in relief. "Wait, Mr. Wade… I know I should settle things in the family Stateside, but won't I be arrested upon arrival?""That's Julien's department," Charlie chuckled and turned toward the man. "Tell your butler not to send the evidence to the feds. If it has reached them already, ask to have it back and tell the feds they saw nothing."Julien promptly nodded. "I'll text him right now. You have nothing to worry about, Mr. Wade."Jimmy remained worried. "But sir, I think Nate's not going to let this slide. The man is cunning—he deliberately dug a pit so we'd fall into it, and he gathered all the dirt he could on us to be used as leverage when necessary."Charlie shook his head. "That's no big deal. Julien can make sure that you're fine even if the feds get the evidence."Julien nodded nearby. "Don't worry, Mr. Wade. The decision remains in your hands, either way. Just say the word, and it's 25 to life… otherwise, not e
The fact that Jimmy was a partner in Ares LLP already meant he had skill, while Matilda had herself been retired for years and definitely had lost her touch a little. So, having someone like Jimmy who had stayed on the frontlines all this while would definitely be no issue.And in turn, it was a good thing for Jimmy as it was better than the kennels either way.Charlie then asked Jimmy pointedly, "You say you're interested, but are you sincere about it?"Jimmy nodded without hesitation. "Yes, absolutely!""No regrets? We're talking about ten years here.""None, absolutely none!""Do you know what to say if anyone asks?""Yes, of course! I chose to further my career here in Oskia, and it was absolutely voluntary! That's what I'd say even if my family asked!"Charlie nodded. "Good. Then, you will have two weeks. Go home and set your affairs in order and report in for work afterward.""No problem!" Jimmy nodded repeatedly, actually surprised and grateful that Charlie would let hi
And yet, Julien was suddenly clapping his hands, and exclaiming excitedly, "Yes, right! We should get his wife and son over too for a happy reunion!"He then paused and quickly corrected himself, "Wait, no! I mean, they should each be caged with one empty cage separating each of their cages. They can see each other and talk, but there will be no touching. How dare he flex on me—I gotta teach him a lesson to remember!"Jimmy dropped limply on his rump, and Matilda beckoned for Paul to help him up while turning toward Julien as she pursed her lips. "Please, Mr. Rothschild… Even if you don't accept his apology, don't bring his family into this. It's against Oskian tradition—you'd insult your family's name!"Julien shrugged, not hesitating to retort, "What do your traditions have to do with me? If I mean to hurt him, forget his family—I'll drag his dogs over too!"Seeing that Julien was so furious, Charlie decided to stop him, or he might actually go through with it."That's enough, J
Holding up a thumb at Charlie, Julien exclaimed in approval, "You're right, my friend! That's far more exciting than having him jailed!"Just hearing that he would be sent to a kennel, Jimmy knew nothing would come of it—even if he didn't know the details, it was so obvious that Julien was thrilled by the very idea!Turning nervously toward Charlie, he was sobbing as he asked, "Mr. Wade…? What's this about a kennel…?"Julien chuckled coolly even before Charlie said a word. "A kennel is where you keep dogs, of course. Though there are literal dogs and metaphorical dogs, and you are the latter."Oh, don't worry. It's a really nice place where you get your own cage, and you'll be fed every day. You don't even have to work, so just sit tight and keep eating until the day you die."Jimmy's soul left his body in that instant.He was going to be locked in a cage?! That was way worse than being locked up and sent to jail! Where was the humanity around here?!Even as the thought struck h
Matilda was actually caught off guard by Jimmy's pleas, and even Paul found it hard to watch.Turning to Charlie, he said, "Please, Mr. Wade—my uncle can be a little despicable, but he is my father's brother. Please, let him have a chance to turn over a new leaf, seeing that he's earnestly repenting."While Paul spoke with Charlie, Jimmy was still confused and wondered why Paul would plead his case with Charlie instead of Julien. If there was anyone Paul should ask, it was Yolden since he was Julien's friend. So, why would he ask some young man instead of Yolden?That was when Charlie asked in curiosity, "You want to let him off? After he tried to take away your parents' legacy?"Paul smiled awkwardly. "I mean, I know the guy. He made sure to travel all this way to make a scene because he had nothing legal that could help him claim Smith Group Corporate Law from us. Otherwise, he'd have already filed the lawsuit in the States. Sure, it's a dirty move, but that's basically a des
As Julien finished, he realized something was wrong and turned toward Charlie before he knew it.Charlie held his gaze in turn, his expression quizzical and amused.Julien cleared his throat right then. "See, there are people who can order me around, but they have my utmost respect. However, a third-rate lawyer like you? Who do you think you are?"That was when Julien's butler called, and he reported respectfully as soon as the call was answered, "Sir, I've spoken with Nate Ellis, the owner of Ares LLC. He has since agreed to fire Jimmy Smith right away as well as disbar him nationwide."Julien asked, "Good. Anything else?""Well, Mr. Ellis also delivered some documents that can be used as evidence against Jimmy Smith, which he claims is enough for a lifetime sentence. If you deem it necessary, we can have it sent to the FBI.""Yes, let's go with that!" Julien replied, his tone satisfied. "And ask the director to handle it personally—I want this prick to never set foot stateside
Jimmy was sweating profusely in fear, but he argued back before he knew it, "That's impossible! Everything you say is bullshit! Gaiman simply thought he had a fair chance of winning and didn't want to pay Ares that much, and I have no idea who he partnered with, and I'm certainly not involved. Don't you try to slander me!"Nate chuckled. "Come on, Jimmy. We're all adults here, so there are things we shouldn't have to be so direct about. Mills Gaiman and your old classmate met in private many times, not to mention the private conferences you three had in secret, discussing your overall strategy and decisive points. Just so you know, Gaiman recorded every conversation, and I have the tapes with me."Jimmy's heart was left pounding as he blurted, "B-Bullshit! That's impossible!""Grow up, Jimmy," Mr.Goodman chuckled. "Every partner in every law firm always strives to rise higher, so I'm going to need as much leverage as I can. Otherwise, I'm not about to let them advance any further, e
Although the ringtone and vibration frequency were the ones Jimmy always used, this call somehow felt more urgent, leaving him exceedingly uneasy.When it abruptly stopped and left a missed call on his log, Nate Ellis soon sent a text: [Answer your damn phone this instant!]Just seeing the text left Jimmy feeling like his throat had gone dry, and as he gulped, it felt like his throat was being ripped, leaving him hurting.Still, he couldn't care less as his boss called again.Having seen the text, Jimmy didn't hesitate this time and promptly answered, watching Julien's smug face as he started tentatively, "Y-Yes, boss...?"Nate immediately yelled at him hysterically, "What the hell did you do?! Why did the Rothschilds call to complain about you?! And the complaint was from their heir apparent, at that! I worked hard for them and always toed the line for years, and I still haven't gotten a chance to meet the man, so how the fuck did you upset him?!"Jimmy's heart sank to rock bott
Fuming, Jimmy snapped at Julien, "If you insist on playing it like that, I will call my boss, and you can talk to him yourself!"Julien chuckled. "That's unnecessary. I've never met him. He would never recognize my voice."Jimmy laughed and nodded despite himself. "Impressive—you can really come up with anything! You don't have his number because he's beneath you, you refuse to call him because he's beneath you, and when I say I'll call him for you, you say he won't recognize your voice. Well, how do you suppose we should sort this out? At least prove you're a Rothschild, or anyone could claim that they are—"Julien held up a hand to stop him. "Then, how about this? I'll ask my butler to talk to your boss."Jimmy laughed even more loudly as if it were the best joke ever. "Hahaha!!! Butler, you say?! You really know how to talk! Alright, I'll wait and see what your 'butler' can do… I mean, what you can do. We'll see whether my boss calls me!"Julien ignored him and whipped out his
