Aurous Airport.The private jet arranged by Isaac had already been waiting in the hangar for a long time.Albert and Ichiro had already arrived and were now waiting below the parked jet too.Liam and Paul had also reached earlier, and they were all waiting for Charlie’s arrival.At nine in the morning.Isaac’s convoy made their way to the hangar, one car after the other.Isaac immediately got out of the car before swiftly walking to the other side to open Charlie’s door.The moment Charlie stepped out of the car, everyone stepped forward to greet him.Charlie nodded in response and said, “Has everyone arrived? If you are all here, we can get on the plane now.”Isaac made a quick headcount before replying to Charlie respectfully, “Mr. Wade, everyone is already here.”“Okay, let’s set off then!”In addition to Isaac, Albert, Liam, Paul, and Ichiro, who was accompanying Charlie on this trip to Japan, Albert and Isaac also brought a few subordinates. In total, there were twelve

As he thought about it, Ichiro could not help but feel a little guilty deep inside.He felt that sense of guilt because it would seem equivalent to him giving away his father’s entire life’s worth of hard work.An old Oskian saying—the younger generation, heirs inheriting their predecessor’s assets, would not feel any heartache when selling off everything the previous generation had worked so hard for. It was because they did not know or understand the hardships of their predecessors. However, this saying was directed at the prodigal son. Although Ichiro was not very capable, he could not be regarded as that.If he were really a prodigal son, then he would not have come to Oskia to participate in the Chinese Medicine Expo, and he would not have any thoughts or intentions of coveting Anthony’s magical pills.The reason why he was so determined to get his hands on the magical pills was simply that he wanted to continue developing Kobayashi Pharma so that Kobayashi Pharma could reach

Concurrently, Kobayashi Pharma’s headquarters in Tokyo was preparing to hold an emergency board of directors meeting.After Jiro, the chairman of Kobayashi Pharma, left for Oskia, he suddenly disappeared without a trace and left Kobayashi Pharma without a leader.In the beginning, the other Kobayashi Pharma directors were doing everything they could do to find Jiro’s whereabouts.However, even after putting in a lot of effort and hard work, Jiro was nowhere to be found at all.After that, they immediately contacted Ito Yahiko, the head of the Ito family.They contacted Yahiko because the directors of Kobayashi Pharma knew that Yahiko had been very optimistic about Kobayashi Pharma and Jiro. They also knew that he had been hoping that Jiro would become his son-in-law so that he could buy some of Kobayashi Pharma’s shares.Moreover, Jiro only went to Oskia simply because he wanted to pursue Yahiko’s daughter, Nanako.Nanako was already back in Japan, but Jiro had entirely disappea

Yahiko then called Masayoshi. As soon as the call was connected, he said, “Mr. Kobayashi, congratulations on your appointment as the acting chairman!”Masayoshi said respectfully, “Mr. Ito, thank you for your kind words. I am just being appointed as the acting chairman temporarily. When my nephew, Jiro, returns to Kobayashi Pharma, I will certainly return this position to him.”Yahiko sneered before he said, “I deduce that Jiro will not be coming back anymore. Although you are only the acting chairman now, I believe that you will become the official chairman of Kobayashi Pharma soon!”Masayoshi secretly felt delighted inside. However, he kept his composure and continued saying, “Mr. Ito, to tell you the truth, I still think about Jiro day and night, and I hope that he will be able to return safely.”Yahiko smiled as he said, “Mr. Kobayashi, the reason why I called you today is not just to give you a polite greeting. I have a business proposal for you.”Masayoshi’s tone changed. He

In the Kobayashi Pharma’s conference room.Many distant family members of the Kobayashi family and several top-level business executives were all seated solemnly.There had been just too many incidents happening in Kobayashi Pharma, one after another, and the tense situation made everyone who was present feel a little nervous.First, the old chairman died tragically because he was poisoned to death. Next, the eldest young master was suspected of using poison to kill his biological father. The second young master then began persecuting and hunting his elder brother down, and he was said to have already died. After that, the second young master also suddenly disappeared. It certainly seemed as though this family of three had incurred the wrath of heaven and was being punished and condemned.However, even though they were nervous, each of them was still full of anticipation and high hopes for the future.This was because they had not been able to have any deep participation in the pl

Kobayashi Stomach Pill was the key product of Kobayashi Pharma, which generated most of the company’s revenues and profit. Kobayashi Pharma would definitely suffer a devastating loss if they rivaled Apothecary Stomach Pill heads-on after it was launched.Therefore, someone asked Kobayashi Masayoshi, “Mr. Chairman, we can’t just sit and await our dooms! Do you have any idea on how to deal with it?”Masayoshi replied, “Indeed, there is a way to deal with it. We must increase our investment in drug research and development, and we must also quickly upgrade our current products. If our Kobayashi Stomach Pill can surpass Apothecary Stomach Pill in terms of potency, I’m sure we can dominate and monopolize the market!”The person in charge of research and development continued, “Mr. Chairman, if we want to increase the funding for our department, we need a huge budget. Can we still afford it since the company was scammed not long ago?”Masayoshi cleared his throat and answered, “This is w
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 1657
Actually, Masayoshi’s remarks were not unreasonable.There was certainly an information gap between Ito Yahiko and him because of the different understanding of the market.At this moment, Ito Yahiko must have thought that Kobayashi Stomach Pill was invincible, and he would love to get on the money-making bandwagon, which was Kobayashi Pharma.However, Masayoshi and other Kobayashi family members were now aware of the existence of the Apothecary Pharmaceutical. They also knew that at this moment, a type of drug called Apothecary Stomach Pill became very popular in Oskia and Aurous Hill and that the efficacy of the pill was much better than the Kobayashi Stomach Pill.Therefore, upon hearing Masayoshi’s concerns, the others changed their mind almost immediately.A moment ago, they firmly believed that Kobayashi Pharma must have a valuation of at least 20 billion and anything less than that was absolutely unacceptable, let alone 15 billion.But now they realized that it was a rare

Now, Nanako was recovering in Kyoto. Hiroshi went to Oskia the other day to look for medicine for her but was unsuccessful. So, he returned to Tokyo to report back to Yahiko and then stayed in Tokyo.In addition to the Lexus sedan that Yahiko was riding, there were ten bodyguards in two Lexus SUVs sandwiching Yahiko’s car in the middle in the form of a convoy as they drove to Kobayashi Pharma.Inside the car, Yahiko was delighted. He analyzed Kobayashi Pharma’s financial reports and market sales in the past two years and found that the company’s future was very promising. He was certain that it was definitely the best time to take a stake in the company now.Therefore, in his opinion, the 4.5 billion dollar investment in Kobayashi Pharma was like Jake planting magical beans in his backyard. The future harvest was at least 15 billion dollars or more. 15 billion dollars was equivalent to 1.5 trillion yen!No one could sit still and hold back their excitement when the thought of such

Naturally, Jimmy couldn't care less about Julien's suggestion, even looking at him pointedly from head to toe while smirking in contempt, "What, do you think I'd just do what any nutjob tells me to do just because they're claiming to be the Rothschilds' heir apparent?"Julien nodded, still smiling. "Good point, but don't worry—it's the same whether you call him or he calls you."Jimmy laughed. "I was offering you a way out, but you want to keep pressing your luck? Since you don't care to back off, let's see how you're going to finish this fight."Then, he shrugged while pointing at Yolden. "Well, it's the perfect chance to measure Matilda's husband, I guess."Based on what he saw of Yolden, there was no way he would buy Julien's claims, and thus labeled him an impostor in his mind.An ordinary lecturer in Aurous Hill, being friends with the Rothschilds' heir apparent? Not to mention that there had been plenty of fraudulent cases outside the States where the Rothschild name was use
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6607
Jimmy was taken aback since he didn't recognize Julien at all, mainly because the Rothschilds had always kept out of the public eye.In fact, it was basically impossible to gather genuine information about the Rothschilds online, as it was a mix of press releases and gossip. Most online biographies would only be about the older generations or certain frivolous figures. Any information about key members like Steve would never be searchable online.Matilda was confused as well, not quite understanding who Julien was since he wasn't on the list of guests invited.Seeing that she was confused, Julien turned and smiled at Yolden, "So, Professor, shouldn't you introduce me to the bride?"Yolden finally remembered that and quickly nodded, "Sorry, it slipped my mind."Turning toward Matilda, he smiled, "Darling, this is Julien Rothschild… A friend of mine from the states…"Julien's full name left everyone within earshot gaping as the Rothschild name was way too famous across the globe.

Seeing that Jimmy was getting a little nervous, Charlie smiled and assured him, "Please, you have nothing to worry about. No one's going to do anything to you, but if you feel threatened in any way, you can call the cops. The Oskian emergency hotline is 110, by the way."Jimmy was slightly relieved as he could see that Charlie really wasn't trying to make things awkward for him, and he straightened his collar as he said, "Actually, I didn't mean to cause trouble—I'm pleased that Matilda has found true love once more, and if we can be friends, I can set aside my claim and stay for the rest of this wedding, offering the newlyweds our best wishes as a representative of my family."Still, his expression showed contempt as he turned toward Yolden. "Also, I'm really curious and looking forward to seeing what connections Professor Hart might have that you say could be better than Bill.""You'll see soon enough," Charlie smiled and nodded.Jimmy remained skeptical and scoffed, "I really do

If Charlie really did get Jimmy to stay, who knew what other rubbish Jimmy would spout.As for Jimmy, he was actually surprised Charlie was asking him to stay, and his instincts told him that Charlie definitely didn't mean well.Not only that, he was on foreign soil—wouldn't he be defenseless if Charlie called in his friends to beat him up?Hence, he shook his head without hesitation as he said, "I'm sorry, but my sister-in-law is quite keen for me to leave, so I have no reason to stay and add to her problems. And it is her big day. I can afford to let her save face instead of spilling the beans on her all at once.""Oh, but you were complaining about the lack of important people just now!" Charlie quickly interjected. "It just so happens that we have a big-shot on his way here, and he's a good friend of the groom. When I told him about you over the phone, he said to keep you here no matter what it took, since he would like to talk to you face to face."Jimmy frowned. "What, are y

And with those words, Jimmy turned to leave.Despite threatening Matilda, there was no such agreement, and he knew that Matilda was well aware of that.Regardless, the only strategy he had in mind when he came to Oskia was harassment. As such, he simply came up with a lie to make Matilda look bad in public. All it took from there was just for one person to relay what he had said—even if it were all lies, Matilda's character would still be called into question.He made himself very clear so that Matilda would understand that if she didn't give in, his family would keep hounding her to take their two pounds of flesh. Even if she wouldn't surrender the stateside estates and human resources of Smith Group Corporate Law, they would still claim a sizable chunk.But if that failed too, they would just have to destroy Matilda's reputation along with Smith Group Corporate Law.Either way, they were not letting her off easy!And reading that much from Jimmy's behavior, Matilda snapped co
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6603
Jimmy didn't expect Matilda to break down the share ownership of Smith Group Corporate Law to such detail, and he hollered as he was starting to feel embarrassed, "Now, you're just being irresponsible, Matilda. My father gave my brother a million to start the law firm in the first place, and they had agreed that the family would have a stake, albeit only at 49%, to not deny your decision-making as a startup. Or are you denying it?"Matilda immediately became furious and snapped, "Bullshit! That was just a loan of one million, and the agreed term was three years. However, your brother returned it in one! I even asked him to return the money with every single one of his siblings watching, since you might all get skeptical, yet suddenly, you're calling it an investment?""You said he's returned it? Well, what proof do you have?" Jimmy quickly shot back. "Our entire family can testify that the money hasn't come back to us!""So, this is how you're going to play it?" Matilda smirked. "Th

In the first place, Jimmy had come to Oskia to claim a stake in Smith Group Corporate Law, ideally strong-arming Paul and Matilda into splitting the firm in two, with Jimmy taking everything in the States while Paul kept what was left.The way Jimmy saw it, Paul and Matilda were going to be permanently residing in Oskia anyway. There was no way they could manage things over in another country properly, so it was basically returning the firm to the rightful owner.Naturally, Jimmy also knew that despite bearing the Smith family name, the success of Smith Group Corporate Law was all the work of Jimmy's brother and Matilda. Jimmy's father had helped to a certain extent, but that extent of financial support wouldn't amount to an investment at all. No judge in the world would support his claim to the law firm's shares.Therefore, when he learned that Matilda was remarrying, he thought he could seize the moment to cause a scene. Nothing could be better if she and Paul decided to sacrifice
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6601
Jimmy deliberately raised his voice as he said coolly, "Oh, but I didn't want to intervene. It's you and your mother who left the States in a split second, taking with you the law firm which bears the Smith family name. Don't you think such behavior is inappropriate?"Seeing the surprised reactions of the guests, Paul promptly retorted, "The law firm uses the Smith family name, but it is my parents' legacy! They worked blood and sweat to build it from the ground up, and as their only son, I have a veto when it comes to decisions. Or did we need your permission to move to Oskia?""Where's your conscience, Paul?" Jimmy pursed his lips. "Even if you don't know how Smith Group Corporate Law was founded, is that the case for you? It would have been a joke if it weren't for my father's connections!"Hell, it's no exaggeration that it was my father who fought to expand the law firm across America, and just using the family name means you're borrowing the family's influence. The family hono

The blonde man's voice drew everyone's attention in an instant.Despite his foreign appearance, he spoke Oskian fluently and walked with a haughty gait, almost as though he was above the rest.Paul's expression turned grim the instant he saw him, and he hurried over with Charlie.Still, before Paul could speak, Charlie stopped him, frowning at the man as he said, "Don't you think it's inappropriate to come slinging personal attacks at someone else's wedding?"The man clearly didn't know Charlie, and he wasn't worried, seeing that he was young.Snorting in disdain, he asked, "You must be from the groom's family, yes? Please tell him that he doesn't deserve my sister-in-law.""It's up to the happy couple to decide that," Charlie retorted quietly. "Deserving someone is no issue as long as they both love each other."The man pursed his lips and looked pointedly around him. "Just look at how simple this wedding is. Forget picking an unassuming city like Aurous Hill—is there a single
