‘I believe that the Harker family will certainly worship and regard the Healing Pill as the standard after personally experiencing the efficacy of the Healing Pill!’‘When the time comes, I’ll only need to give a few Healing Pills to the Harker family every year in order to ensure that the Harker family will follow and serve me with all of their hearts!’Yashita did not know what Charlie was thinking of.When she saw Charlie taking out two pills before handing them over to her daughter and herself respectively, she could not help but ask, “Young Master Wade, are we supposed to just take this pill directly?”“Yes.” Charlie nodded before he said seriously, “This medicine is made using a very special technique, and it’ll melt directly in your mouth. Moreover, the effect of this medicine is released very quickly, and there are no toxic side effects. The both of you can try it now.”Although Yashita did not know how effective this pill would be, she also believed that Charlie would nev
The biggest difference between the Harker family’s Nourishing Qi pill and Charlie’s Healing Pill was not the medicinal effect, but it was actually the medicinal properties.The so-called medicinal properties referred to the basic nature of the medication.The same analogy as before would be used.The Healing Pill was like a heavy bomb that was used in the military.As for the Nourishing Qi pill, it would simply be an ordinary firecracker. The difference was not only in the energy of their explosion but also in its fundamental nature.For instance, the military bomb would be able to blow through a steel plate that was one meter thick, and it would be able to blast through a ten-meter thick concrete fortification. However, no matter how much ordinary gunpowder there was in an ordinary firecracker, it would simply be impossible for the firecracker to blow through a one-meter-thick steel plate. This was the fundamental difference in their nature.This was the case with the Harker
As he spoke, Charlie asked her, “Rosalie, I can see that you have already opened up your Chong meridian using the power of the medication just now. Your strength is almost doubled up now. Congratulations!”When Yashita heard this, she was dumbfounded as she blurted out, “Rosalie, you… you’ve opened up your Chong meridian?!”“Yes…” Rosalie’s eyes were flushed red as she choked up and said, “Mom, I’ve already opened up my Chong meridian…”Yashita was so excited that she burst into tears as she said, “In our family, there has not been a second person who could open up their Chong meridian ever since your grandfather opened up his Chong meridian forty years ago… Today, you’ve finally opened it up too…”Rosalie could not help but look at Charlie. At this time, Charlie’s image in her mind was already completely unrivaled. She really could not understand why Charlie could have such great strength and competence.The first time, Charlie had simply been checking her pulse for her, but sh
In truth, this kind of Healing Pill was not anything worth mentioning to Charlie.Even if he were to give the Harker family fifty or a hundred pills a year, to Charlie, it would only be a matter of snapping his fingers.However, the reason why he wanted to control the quantity to five pills a year was because he wanted to make sure that the Harker family would be fully aware of how precious this item truly was.Charlie was also clear that based on the effectiveness of the Healing Pill on martial artists, even if he were to simply give them two pills a year, that would be sufficient to ensure that the Harker family would go all out to work for him.The reason why he had decided to give them five pills was because he wanted to give the Harker family an opportunity to rise up the ranks. That way, they would be able to plan and focus on training three to five talented warriors every year.Yashita was naturally very clear about the value of this pill, and she realized that this was ind
Charlie smiled indifferently. “The two pills that I gave to you and Rosalie before this will not be counted. That is just a little token of appreciation from me to both of you, mother and daughter. I’ll also give the both of you two extra pills every year in the future, and those two pills will have nothing to do with the Harker family.”Yashita was suddenly so nervous that she didn't even know what to say. She was so surprised and happy as she said, “This… this is really too valuable. How can we possibly…”At this time, Charlie waved his hand as he spoke up, “Rosalie and I are also destined. What’s more, there will be a long-term collaboration between us in the future. So, a few pills are not worth mentioning at all. Madam Harker, you don’t need to feel so entangled.”As he spoke, Charlie said again, “The both of you, mother and daughter, are finally reunited again. So, you must have a lot to say to one another. I’ll not bother the both of you too much anymore.”When Yashita saw t
As soon as she thought of Curtis, Yashita could not help but think of Sheldon.She had already stayed by Sheldon’s side ever since his teenage years. So, she knew of Sheldon’s younger days very well. She knew how outstanding Curtis was back then, and she also knew that the Sheldon back then had always been living under Curtis’s shadow.She suddenly felt that it was a little ironic.Back then, Curtis had crushed Sheldon in all aspects, but Sheldon had not been convinced at all deep in his heart. It was not only until Curtis’s death that Sheldon could finally heave a sigh of relief. But who would have expected that Curtis’s son would also be so outstanding and incredible to the point that it was almost unbelievable?!Although today was Yashita’s first time meeting Charlie, based on the fact that Charlie could actually secretly rescue her daughter from the Japanese Self-Defence Force and also coupled with the fact that he could actually hide this matter from everyone else without
Yashita hurriedly asked again, “Didn’t Sophie Schulz already go missing with Helen Dunn? Have you met her?”Rosalie nodded and said seriously, “Sophie and Aunt Dunn are also in this hotel.”“What did you say?!” Yashita suddenly became very nervous and asked offhandedly, “The both of them, mother and daughter, are also living here? Then, do they know that I’m here?”Yashita had always felt very guilty toward Helen deep down in her heart.After all, back then, Yashita had had an inappropriate relationship with Helen’s husband when Helen had been pregnant. After that, she had even given birth to Rosalie. No matter what it was, she was still a third party who had interfered in Helen’s marriage, and she had even interfered in their marriage when Helen was pregnant. Therefore, Yashita was hesitant to meet Helen again.At this time, Rosalie said, “The both of them cannot possibly know that you’re here. After Mr. Wade saved them, he helped them settle down here. To ensure that news woul
As soon as Rosalie’s words left her mouth, Yashita was flabbergasted and dumbfounded as she listened to Rosalie.She had envisioned ten thousand different possibilities that Charlie could have used to deal with Sheldon, but she never would have thought that Charlie would send Sheldon to Syria.At this time, Rosalie hurriedly reminded her, “Mom, you should not have any thoughts of saving dad… Mr. Wade has a long-standing feud with the Schulz family. Both of us have received a great favor from Mr. Wade. So, we should not requite his kindness with enmity…”Yashita shook her head as she said emotionally, “No. I’ll not get involved in the Schulz family’s problems again. Moreover, the Wade family does not only have a long-standing feud with the Schulz family, but back then, your father even came forth and established an alliance to go against Young Master Wade’s father directly. The fact that Young Master Wade is giving your father a way to live is already considered giving him preferenti
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
