Rosalie was only in her early twenties this year, but she had already opened up her Ren meridian and Du meridian.This was already a top-notch feat amongst the young people of the Harker family and also all the other major martial arts families.Moreover, Rosalie did not even dare to hope that she would be able to open up her third meridian.Her biggest wish now was to strive and work hard to make sure that her Ren meridian and Du meridian were even smoother and flowing without any obstructions.This was because there were multiple dimensions in the measurement employed by masters in inner family boxing.The number of the eight extraordinary meridians that had been opened was just one of it. For instance, Rosalie had opened up her Ren meridian at the age of fifteen, and she had only opened up her Du meridian at the age of twenty. Therefore, she had just opened up her Du meridian not too long ago.According to the judging standards of all martial artists, the degree of uninterru
This would not only cause her current strength to take a big leap forward, but it would also make her future martial arts journey much smoother!With a fully functional Ren meridian as her foundation, she would be able to gain twice the results with half the effort in her future martial arts journey!Rosalie was extremely excited, and she was also deeply shocked!‘Mr. Wade only touched my wrist slightly to check my pulse, but he could bring about such a huge improvement to my cultivation. How strong and powerful is he?!’‘Gaining a fully functional Ren meridian is tantamount to reaching the furthest extreme in the foundation of martial arts. This is something that I would never have dared to dream of in this lifetime… and it is also an achievement that most martial artists would never be able to achieve in this lifetime…’‘Yet, it was so easy to Mr. Wade, and he did not need to put in any effort at all…’‘This… this… this is simply a miracle!’‘However, this kind of supernatural
Just as Rosalie was feeling very excited about the good fortune and blessing that Charlie had bestowed upon her, and just as she was feeling puzzled about the reason why he was willing to remain as a live-in son-in-law, Charlie said indifferently, “You can speak to Isaac directly if you have any needs or requests. He will certainly see to your needs, then. I will leave first.”Rosalie hurriedly said, “I will see you off, Mr. Wade!”Rosalie walked Charlie to her room door, and Charlie said, “I can see myself out.”Rosalie nodded respectfully before she bowed deeply and said with gratitude, “Thank you, Mr. Wade!”Charlie smiled slightly and said, “Don’t worry about it.”Charlie left immediately after he had spoken.As Rosalie watched the back of Charlie’s figure walking out of her administrative area, Rosalie felt a little lost and despondent.She closed the door behind her as she murmured to herself, “Mr. Wade certainly has supernatural powers. My mother and grandfather have been
Yashita had agreed to his request. She also felt that she would have to make sure that Rosalie would be able to recruit a son-in-law who would be willing to bear their family’s last name and live-in with their family after their marriage. After all, the Harker family was also not a family to be trifled with. So, it would not be that difficult for them to recruit a son-in-law into their family.From these things, it could already be seen that the Harker family attached great importance to Rosalie. This could also explain why Rosalie had had the desire to help the Harker family rise again and regain their glory in martial arts.This was especially so after the Schulz family had tried to get rid of her when she was already down. Therefore, Rosalie had already lost all confidence and affection that she had held for the Schulz family.She had already come up with a plan in her heart. After the storm had passed and she could finally return to the Harker family, she would change her last n
Charlie left the hotel, and he rode his electric bike as he headed directly to Pearl River Point.This community had just opened, and it had recently been advertised and promoted all over Aurous Hill. Therefore, Charlie had also heard about this matter.If this was a few years back, a newly opened community would have already been sold out to crazy citizens and real estate speculators in a short time.However, the real estate brokers were not doing very well, and many new communities were also experiencing slow sales at this time. So, these developers had already begun to do everything possible to try and advertise and promote the sale of these communities.Wendy had originally planned to apply for a real estate sales job. However, the salary for this kind of position would only be given the next month. Therefore, she had no choice but to apply for a job as a temporary hostess at an etiquette company.To put it bluntly, the etiquette company was just a human intermediary company.
Wendy asked again, “Didn’t you say that it was an exclusive guarantee agreement? Aside from the exclusive collaboration with our company, what is the guarantee in the agreement for, then?”Xavia explained, “This guarantee means that you will have to guarantee that you participate and make an appearance in a minimum of twenty-eight events for the company in a month. If you fail to meet the requirements for the minimum number of events due to your own personal reasons, the company will also ask you for compensation, or the company might deduct the money from your salary directly.”Wendy continued asking, “What kind of benefits will the company be giving me if I were to sign this agreement, then?”“Benefits?” Xavia curled her lips and said, “The benefit that the company will be giving you is that as long as you follow the company’s requirements and participate in at least twenty-eight events in a month, the company will give you a basic salary of five thousand dollars.”When Wendy hea
When Wendy heard Xavia’s words, she asked in surprise, “Miss Xavia, didn’t you say that the wages for the event and the basic salary were two completely different matters?”Xavia curled her lips as she said, “Wendy, you must really be daydreaming! Let me tell you something. Mr. Lawry said that in the future, all of our hostesses would have to be paid monthly. So, starting from today, you will have to continue working hard and steadily for the company. As long as you fulfill twenty-eight events for the company every month, you will receive a basic salary of five thousand dollars on the 15th of next month!”Wendy suddenly had a very awkward and embarrassed look on her face as she said, “Miss Xavia, I should get paid two hundred dollars for each event. So, if I were to participate in twenty-eight events, I should be receiving five thousand and six hundred dollars. However, if the company is going to pay me only a monthly salary of five thousand dollars, wouldn’t that mean that I will be
“I’m not going!” Wendy yelled out, “You are committing a crime in broad daylight! I will call the police to arrest all of you!”“Call the police?” Xavia came forward and slapped Wendy directly across her face as she yelled, “Do you really think that you can stop me just by calling the police? Let me tell you something. I have seen countless cheap shrews like you! I have many ways to deal with people like you!”Wendy blurted out, “All of you are simply bullies! This is a society under the rule of law! How can you simply act as you please?!”Xavia sneered before she said, “So what if we are bullying you? The thing that I enjoy doing the most is bullying people! Let me tell you something. Mr. Lawry is a very reputable person in the underground world in Aurous Hill. If you dare to come up with any sorts of tricks instead of behaving yourself, you will not be the only one suffering at the end of the day. Your family will also have to pay the consequences and price for your actions!”As
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
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
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
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
