Xyla felt very aggrieved and she was very unconvinced at this time. Therefore, she gritted her teeth before she said, “I want to compete with him and if he’s really capable, I’ll definitely apologize to him then.”“How long are you going to keep up this attitude of yours?” Anthony yelled in anger as he stared at his granddaughter.The middle-aged man from the Moore family was also stunned at this time. No one would have expected Charlie to have better strength and skills compared to the famous Dr. Simmons.Reuben was also very confused at this time. What was Dr. Simmons saying? Did he mean that this young man actually had some skills?How could this be possible?Could they really rely on him?Was Anthony really convinced by Charlie’s skills?At this time, Charlie glanced at Xyla and he could tell that she was really unhappy. Her face was flushed red with anger and she had a very dissatisfied expression on her face. Charlie found that hilarious and hence, he asked, “How would you
After he finished speaking, Charlie pointed at the middle-aged man in the Moore family before he said, “In addition to high blood pressure, this gentleman here is also suffering from diabetes and heart palpitations. Moreover, this gentleman had also suffered from a broken rib in his left chest and this is an old injury from about ten years ago.”The middle-aged man from the Moore family was very shocked and he exclaimed in astonishment, “Mr. Wade, your medical skills are really incredible! How can you tell that I’m suffering from diabetes? I’m also very amazed that you can tell that I have a broken rib in my left chest. I had a rib fracture from a car accident thirteen years old and that’s the reason why I have this old injury.”Charlie smiled before he pointed at Reuben and said, “Your lung infection came about because you were drinking too much and your kidneys do not have the capability to process your intake. In addition to your lung problems, your biggest problem is your kidney
Xyla finally understood what Charlie meant.Charlie was giving her face when he said that she had left some things out, but that made a lot of difference!Anthony was also shocked at this time.Anthony could see that Charlie was deliberately controlling his own internal breath and he was deliberately allowing his spiritual energy to flow backwards in his body to create the illusion of a ‘heart disease’. That was the reason why his granddaughter was fooled.However, reversing the flow of reiki in the body could cause extreme pain and discomfort.However, not only could Charlie control the flow of reiki in his body but he was also controlling it freely in a calm and composed manner, as though he was not feeling any pain at all. It seemed as though he had already cultivated his skills for more at least fifty to a hundred years!Anthony knew that Charlie was indeed an expert.On the other hand, his granddaughter was still trying to provoke Charlie.Fortunately, Charlie was a gentle
”What magical pill is that?” Charlie asked in surprise.He was really as to what kind of rare treasure this magical pill was since Anthony was also attracted by it.Anthony quickly took a jade box out from his pocket before he opened it carefully. After that, he said, “This magical pill cost me five million dollars but it is absolutely worth it! After taking half of the pill, I’m already feeling much better. That is why I’m carrying the other half of the pill with me. Mr. Wade, please have a look.”The crowd of people quickly gathered around him because they wanted to see this magical pill that Anthony was talking about. They really could not imagine what kind of magical pill would actually fascinate the doctor so much.As soon as Anthony opened the jade box, the strong scent of medicine filled the air immediately.After exposing the remaining half of the magical pill in the jade box, Anthony took out a small jade knife and cut out a small piece of the pill before handing it over
Anthony was so shocked and he was completely at a loss for words.His whole body was trembling at this time…He really could not believe that the magical pill that he thought he had bought from a master was actually made by the young man standing in front of him…Moreover, Charlie even said that this was only a semi-finished product?If the semi-product was already so powerful, then wouldn’t the effect of the finished product be even more effective?The middle-aged man from the Moore family was also dumbfounded at this time and he suddenly felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart!He really could not imagine how Jasmine could be acquainted with a god like him!If the Moore family could keep this young man by their side, then they would definitely be healthy and prosperous.This was because no matter how powerful or rich a person was, they would always be most afraid of death!No matter how much money or power someone had, they could only enjoy life if they were healthy!If anyone
In Anthony’s opinion, he could not even compare to Charlie even if he lived another fifty years.This man’s medical skills were unfathomable. What was even more unbelievable is the fact that he could actually produce such a fine magical pill. He was simply a godlike existence!At this time, Xyla’s face was flushed red and she did not know what else to say. In fact, she was not convinced by Charlie’s skills at first but she was utterly convinced now!After that, Charlie said to Anthony indifferently, “Dr. Simmons, even though the medicine that you bought is actually effective for your internal injuries, it is still lacking a few ingredients. Therefore, the effect of the pill is only about twenty percent effective for your condition. Please give me some time so that I can produce the completed pill for you. I believe your internal injury will be healed completely after taking the pill.”“Mr. Wade, thank you! Thank you so much!”Anthony felt extremely grateful and he knelt down in fr
Anthony really did not expect Charlie to say good things about him and his granddaughter at this time. He was very grateful and humble as he said, “Lord Moore, Mr. Wade is too humble. In fact, Mr. Wade was the one who helped you avert this crisis. If not for him, we wouldn’t have been able to wake you up.”Lord Moore nodded before he said politely, “I have already heard of your reputation since a long time ago. Please do not belittle yourself, you are too humble. I really appreciate your kindness and effort in coming all the way here to treat me. Please do not hesitate to look for me if you need the Moore family’s help in the future.”After that, Lord Moore looked at Charlie before he said, “Mr. Wade, thank you for saving my life. Please do not hesitate to ask me if there is anything that the Moore family can do for you in future. I owe my life to you.”Charlie smiled before he replied, “Lord Moore, you’re too polite.”After he was done speaking, Charlie realized that it was alread
Charlie looked at the time on his watch and he felt that it was not that late anyway. Moreover, he had not had any alcohol in a really long time. Therefore, he nodded before he said, “Alright then. You can choose the place!”Jasmine was overjoyed at this time and she hurriedly replied, “I know of a great bar!”After that, Jasmine stepped on the accelerator as she drove towards the city center.…Jasmine drove them downtown to a bar named Sunny.Jasmine stopped her car in front of the entrance of the bar before she passed her car keys over to the young boy working as the valet. After that, she quickly led Charlie into the bar.As soon as the waiter saw her, he greeted her in a respectful manner, “Good evening, Miss Moore! Would you like to go to your usual spot today?”Jasmine nodded and the other party quickly replied, “Please come with me.”There was a dance floor on the first floor of the bar and the atmosphere was pretty lively because there was a DJ on the scene. At this ti
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
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
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
