Therefore, Charlie also suspected that his parents’ death was related to the Rothschild family.Because of this, when he heard that the Whittaker family and Rothschild family were kith and kin, he could not help but lament in his heart, ‘I never thought my first encounter with the Rothschild family would come so fast.’ Therefore, Charlie asked Isaac curiously: “The Whittaker family and Rothschild family have what kind of kith and kin relationship, to be specific?” Isaac described: “At most, they are distant relatives… After all, the Whittaker family and Rothschild family have grown for so many years. There are more than ten thousand people with the family name Rothschild. Besides, there are also many distant relatives with a different family name.” “This means that Edmund’s grandmother is from the Rothschild family. However, his grandmother’s side is not pivotal in the Rothschild family. At most, she was just like a princess in the Golden Age, who was the most margina
“But soon, they will be!” Edmund, who was by the side, was dumbfounded, and he mumbled... Then, he speculated in confusion, ‘What does he f*cking mean by ‘soon they will be’?! This Wade guy is ridiculous… I f*cking hate Oskians when they talk vaguely and not clearly…’ Just as he was in the dark about what Charlie meant, Charlie said to Isaac: “One more thing, Isaac, please get me some mercury dichloride. I intend to use it.” When Charlie said this, Edmund felt as though he had been struck by lightning! ‘Ah?! What does this Wade guy plan to do with mercury dichloride?!’ ‘Also, why did he ask for dialysis equipment to be set up?!’ ‘And! He asked people to prepare the dialysis equipment and even said ‘soon they will be’... what is ‘soon to be’? What’s that?!’ ‘Now, he wants mercury dichloride, this… is he asking me to consume it?!’ Thinking of this, Edmund felt as if he was about to collapse. Kneeling with both knees on the gro
At this moment, he finally realized that he had caused big trouble! Hence, looking toward Doris, Edmund cried and begged, “Doris! I beg you to send me to the police! Let me face legal sanctions and a just trial, please. I beg you, Doris! Please pity me, Doris!” Edmund knew in his heart that although it was scary to be in jail, at least he could enter the prison healthily. If he were to be in the hands of Charlie and to be tossed around by him, he would not only face all kinds of painful torture but in fact, he might die cruelly in the dog farm in the end. Thus, comparatively, to be in prison was much more humane. Charlie ridiculed him, “Edmund, you change really fast. Didn’t you beg Doris not too long ago to not hand you over to the police? A few minutes have just passed, and you have already begun to beg her to send you to the police? Edmund cried painfully and answered, “Master Wade… Master Wade, please be merciful. Call 911 and let the police
Isaac and Albert’s men were swift in their actions. Within ten minutes, all of Edmund’s men in Aurous Hill, including Samson, who was preparing to dispose of the corpse, were restrained by Isaac and Albert’s men. Isaac himself came to Silverwing Hospital. His men brought guns and surrounded the two vehicles of Edmund’s men. Once the guns were aimed at the five men, they straightaway surrendered and gave in without a fight. Subsequently, these five men were brought into a modified minibus. Their cars, the Rolls-Royce and Buick, were driven away by Albert’s men. These two cars would be sent straight to Albert’s car recycling factory to be dismantled tonight, crushed into a pile of scraps, and thrown into the steelmaking furnace. In other words, after tonight, even the Gods would not be able to search for the whereabouts of these two cars. Then, Isaac called Charlie and informed him, “Young Master, the five men at the ground floor
‘The ability of the Wade Family is at least a dozen times stronger than the Rothschild Family!’ Thinking of this, Edmund only then realized how pathetic and absurd he had been. He thought that by coming to Aurous Hill, he would be able to do whatever he wanted by hiding from Isaac. However, he had never thought that he would offend the Young Master of the Wade family so quickly! Hence, he slapped himself hard and wept, “Young Master Wade, I have eyes but cannot see. I did not expect to offend you. I did not know Doris was your friend! If I knew all these things, even if I was beaten to death, I would not have had any intention toward her…” Charlie laughed, “Did you know that Emgrand Group belongs to me as well?” “Eh?!” Edmund was goggle-eyed, and he blurted, “This… this… this I truly did not know, Young Master Wade… If I knew, I would not have dared to have evil thoughts about Emgrand Group even if you gave me the courage to do so…” Before Edmund ha
A hopeless Edmund was dragged away by Isaac’s men and taken out of the hospital. After he had left, all CCTV footage of him was cleverly removed by Isaac’s men completely.As a result, no one would be able to find Edmund’s footage in Aurous Hill. It would be even more impossible to trace his activity. When Edmund’s family members finally realized that he was missing and came to Aurous Hill to look for him, they would only notice that this person had vanished into thin air. As they left, Charlie asked Isaac to arrange for experts to give Edmund a taste of his own favorite mercury dichloride and wait till he got sick just like Doris’s father and put him on dialysis. This was what Charlie meant by ‘doing unto him as he does unto you’. To these extremely corrupted monsters, only through this method could Edmund be taught a real lesson. Doris, who was at the side, saw with her own eyes how Charlie handled this matter satisfyingly to decide Ed
At this moment, Charlie uttered, “Aunty, to most doctors, kidney failure is indeed irreversible. However, my ancestor still managed to preserve some good prescriptions. To cure this isn’t very hard.” “Really?!” Faith could not hold back her excitement, and she replied with a lump in her throat, “Then, Mr. Wade, please intervene and save my husband… Throughout his life, he was a good teacher and had a noble character. He never once did a bad thing and should not have ended up like this…” As she spoke, Faith looked toward Doris, who was by her side. Holding Doris’s hands tightly, she cried, “He used more than twenty years of his life to nurture Doris. He has not yet seen Doris wearing a wedding gown and getting married. He has also not yet enjoyed the family fun of three generations. If he were to go like this, God really has no eyes…” Nodding his head, Charlie said solemnly, “Don’t worry, Aunty. As long as Uncle eats the medicine prepared by me, the disease will su
After feeding half the medication to Doris’s father, the mother and daughter were surprised to see Corwin’s ghost-like pale face instantly turn slightly rosy with life.This was what Oskian medicine termed as the color of the blood!When a person’s Qi and blood were strong, their complexion would be glowing with a rosy radiance. When the Qi and blood were insufficient, they would look pale and sallow.The main reason why terminally ill patients looked pale and had lips that were lacking in color was mostly because of the exhaustion of the blood and Qi in their body.Doris’s father was indeed like that.The extremely severe kidney failure had long put his life on the line.His entire person looked like a plant that was about to wilt, on the verge of death.However, as soon as the medicine was ingested, his body began to undergo extreme changes.This scene made the mother and daughter feel as though they were watching a documentary on television in which some documentaries had re
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
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
