Chapter 16

Author: Lord Leaf
Sabrina crossed her arms in front of her chest and said in a pompous tone, “Yeah, I despise you, so what? Can’t you bear some criticism now, you loser?”

“Everyone in college knows that you married Claire and became their live-in son-in-law after graduation! A miserable loser who couldn’t even afford a decent meal in college and a toyboy after graduation! How dare you come looking for my help being such a big loser as you are? Who do you think you are?”

A rage of fury was slowly burning inside Charlie.

One would not attack unless attacked first. Sabrina was going too far this time!

Right at this moment, he received a text message from Stephen. “Young Master, the Wade family owns Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts. The Shangri-La of Aurous Hill is just one of our many Shangri-Las throughout the world.”

Charlie’s pupil shrank in astonishment!

Did he just say that the Wade family owned Shangri-Las?

He responded reflexively, “You’re not bluffing, are you?”

“Of course not. The person in charge of Aurous Hill’s Shangri-La is Isaac Cameron, his number is 155…, please give him a call and he will settle everything for you.”

“Okay.”

Sabrina was a little agitated by Charlie’s attitude, staring at his phone and texting while she was mocking him.

She felt like she was abusing a dog and of course, she wanted to hear the dog yelp.

Unexpectedly, Charlie didn’t say anything.

It proved that in his case, time did not change anything. He was a loser since college, and he was the same loser now who didn’t even budge after being insulted.

Hence, she increased the cockiness in her tone and sneered, “Hey, Mr. Class Rep, you’re pretty good at putting up with insults!”

“Oh yes, by the way, I heard that you and Claire have not slept together after being married for three years. Is Claire actually someone else’s mistress and you’re nothing but a smokescreen for her affairs? Hahaha!”

Charlie frowned indignantly.

‘Not only did you insult me, but you also insulted my wife. Sabrina Lee, you’re digging your own grave!’

Enraged, he called Isaac Cameron’s number. He stared at Sabrina and said flatly while waiting for the call to be answered, “I’m going to ask your person in charge about how Shangri-La recruits employees, for even people with a foul mouth like you can work here!”

“What? How dare you taunt me? You really need a beating!” Sabrina growled furiously and shouted to the guards beside her, “He’s here looking for trouble, beat him!”

At this moment, his call was answered.

“Hello, who is it?”

A charismatic male voice came from the other end of the line.

Charlie said coldly, “Are you Isaac Cameron? I am Charlie Wade, I’m now at the entrance of Shangri-La. I’ll give you a minute to get the h*ll here or you can just get out of Shangri-La!”

Upon hearing it, the man who was originally full of charisma immediately panicked and stuttered, “Young…Young Master? Are you really at the Shangri-La now?”

“Fifty seconds!”

The man yelped over the phone and blurted frantically, “Please wait a moment, I’ll be there right away!”

Sabrina smirked as she listened to Charlie’s phone conversation and mocked sarcastically, “Hey, Charlie, I didn’t know that you’re so good at blowing your own horn! Do you know who Mr. Cameron is? Even the most prestigious members of Shangri-La dare not to be so pompous in front of Mr. Cameron! Do you really think you can fool me by pretending to make a call?”

Charlie glared at him and said faintly, “You’ll know in thirty seconds if I’m fooling you!”

Sabrina laughed contemptuously. “Okay, our beloved class rep! I’ll wait for thirty seconds! Oh no, let’s make it three minutes. If Mr. Cameron doesn’t show himself in three minutes, I’ll let the guards tear your bluffing mouth off your face, you lying little prick! Hahaha! This is so funny!”

Twenty seconds later, a middle-aged man in a top-of-the-line bespoke suit ran towards them in a panic.

He was a dog who worked for the Wade family. He was also a very powerful dog.

Ever since he had been appointed as the general manager of the Shangri-La in Aurous Hill, he became one of the most respectable icons in the city. When was the last time he was ever so panicked and anxious?

However, his panic was understandable. He had never imagined that the young master of the Wade family would appear at Shangri-La, which was under his management…

Sabrina intended to continue insulting Charlie when she suddenly saw the guards looking pale and horrified as they glanced behind her.

She followed their stunned gazes and turned around when she saw Mr. Cameron emerge. Her eyes opened widely as if she had been struck by lightning.

Then, she turned back at Charlie, her eyes full of horror. “This… how… how is it possible…”

“Who is Mr. Charlie Wade?”

Isaac’s voice was trembling in fear and disbelief.

Everyone stared at him in bewilderment, stunned. The man who could easily shake Aurous Hill by simply stomping his feet had become so terrified and frightened that even his voice changed!

Charlie said loudly, “I am!”

Isaac quickly rushed towards him and bowed. “Young…”

Charlie interjected immediately, “Mr. Cameron, some things are not suitable to be said out loud in public.”

Isaac was shaking with jitters upon the statement.

‘Oh, my goodness! I’m such a stupid dog! Young Master’s identity must be highly confidential, yet I almost called him out! If I offend Young Master, it will be the end for me!’

Thus, he hurriedly changed the address but still spoke in a respectful tone, “Mr. Wade, welcome to Shangri-La. Please follow me to my office for further discussion.”

Sabrina was utterly stunned. She could not accept the fact but it had unfolded right in front of her eyes.

Who was Charlie Wade really? What was his real background? How could he make the big boss of Shangri-La bow before him like a lowly peasant?

He wouldn’t bear a grudge against her for her mockery, right?

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 7707

    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

    With the Japanese snow tractors providing cover, the radars and other recon equipment never caught Barlin.As they collapsed on the rogue convoy, armed forces promptly moved to encircle the vehicles, and yelled for the rogue researchers to get off and surrender.At first, they weren't going to do it since Barlin had bent their minds with the intention to keep them eternally loyal to him, but Barlin didn't know Japanese and had to relay orders through Kohei and Heiji's translations.In other words, they were ultimately loyal to Kohei.So, when Kohei told them on the radio to surrender unconditionally and got off his snow tractor, his hands raised, the others followed suit. The armed forces promptly moved in to restrain each of them, with Goro running over, clearly looking pained as he demanded, "Why did you all do this?! After all that we did to make sure you all had the finest equipment and conditions for your explorations?!"Kohei retorted fearlessly, "No one did any harm. They

    Kohei had zero arguments or misgivings despite Barlin's demands.Bowling his head, he said, "It's my honor to die to serve you, my lord! Don't worry, I will keep your secret even in the pain of death!"Barlin nodded in satisfaction and told him, "Alright, cover my retreat as you suggested!""Yes, my lord!" Kohei replied, and promptly barked into his walkie, "Everyone fall in line! Cover me!"At his order, the other vehicles moved into a single line behind their snow tractor, even as the Americans kept closing in.Kohei then nodded at Barlin. "My lord, the closer they are, the bigger the radar blind spot. Let them close in further and you'll be able to get away!"Barlin nodded and sighed. "This really cost me more than what I bargained for, losing both the Griffin Winter Manor and my search of the continent."Meanwhile, the Americans were closing in.Despite their vehicles being military-grade, few were designed to traverse polar terrain. Even at full speed, they struggled to ke

    Barlin was naturally delighted. If they went with Kohei's plan, he at least wouldn't be hunted down or killed… Even if it meant losing the Griffin Winter Manor.He would then find somewhere to lie low and think of a way to leave the South Pole once this nonsense blew over.And if he couldn't leave before winter ended, he could just find someplace quiet, dig a hole deeper than what they had managed before.Barlin initially considered infiltrating an unoccupied research station to take temporary shelter, but soon remembered that even those were littered with cameras and such.He didn't understand modern technology, so what if he unknowingly walked right into a trap?Therefore, digging a hole in the ice became the best solution he could think of.The Antarctic ice sheet was thousands of feet thick, but despite the freezing climate, he would feel much better avoiding the blizzard and gales.Moreover, igloos had always been an excellent choice for protection in polar regions. Althoug

    Being Barlin's most loyal servant, Kohei didn't show contempt or disappointment towards Barlin's self-doubt.Instead, he gave it to him straight, "That depends on whether they find you and decide to attack you, my lord."That only left Barlin fuming—talk about being caught between a rock and a hard place!If he had to attack, that meant wiping out the combined forces of the Americans and the Japanese. It was possible, but only if he avoided the initial firearms and artillery volley, closing the distance for a melee.But he wasn't dealing with the defenseless Japanese research crew now, but the Americans' regular military force.That means every moment of their operations would be communicated in real-time through satellite feeds, observed by high command.It was just different from how things were a century ago—back then, he could simply wipe out a full-fledged legion, and no one would be the wiser as dead men tell no tales. However, that wasn't the case now. He could still kil

    When Caden heard Charlie’s irrefutable words, he was so depressed that his entire body shook. His lips were trembling, and his teeth were also gnashing together involuntarily in his mouth. Caden naturally did not want to leave, but he also did not know how to express his intention to Charlie. After

    Charlie could not help but feel worried when he thought of this. He still had the certainty and confidence that he would be able to handle one of the great earls from the Qing Eliminating Society, but he was afraid that he would not have a chance of winning if two of the great earls were to appear b
