In the blink of an eye, five people had raised their hands.Walliot deliberately did not raise his hand immediately but instead, he waited until these people had eagerly come forward before saying, “Count me in too, then.”After he was done speaking, he looked at Charlie, and just as he was wondering what he should say to trick Charlie into playing the game, Charlie then took the initiative to raise his hand and said, “I also like to play Texas Hold’em Poker. Count me in.”Walliot was so excited that he almost cheered out loud.‘I was just trying to find an entry point to invite Charlie to join in this ruse as naturally as I possibly could, but I really did not expect Charlie to jump into it on his own.’‘Perfect!’After that, Walliot pretended to be polite as he said, “Mr. Wade, I really did not expect that you would like to play Texas Hold’em Poker too. In that case, we should play two rounds together for entertainment purposes, then.”Charlie also had a friendly expression on

Since the poker game had been brought up at the very last minute and the person who had suggested playing the card game had voluntarily given up his direct participation in the game, even volunteering to be the croupier, aside from Charlie and Olivia, the several other participants did not think about the aspect of cheating at all. Moreover, since the venue was the Northern European royal family’s own poker room and the playing cards were a brand-new and unopened product from the poker room’s inventory, no one had any doubts at all.In truth, there were actually no problems with the playing cards at all. The real problem was with the croupier.He was originally an expert in gambling, and he had made quite a fortune by gambling. Even if he were to play cards with professionals, he could cheat unnoticed, let alone when he was facing a group of amateur players.This person had very fast hands, very good memory, and excellent finger dexterity. It could be comparable to a close-range m

Charlie did not pay any attention to what cards he was actually dealt with, but as soon as the card came to him, he would immediately put a one-million-euro chip in. After a few rounds, Charlie then threw in four-million-euro chips, but it actually represented seventy million euros in total. The others were unable to adapt to the large bet for a while and so, they simply folded and watched the game.Charlie and Walliot were the only ones left at the table. Immediately afterward, the croupier spoke up and said, “Please show your cards!” Charlie flipped his bottom card over immediately, and his cards only consisted of a pair and three other miscellaneous cards. This was considered a very small hand in Texas Hold’em Poker. As for Walliot, he had a good hand in the first game. He had four Jacks and a miscellaneous card, which was a much bigger hand compared to Charlie. The croupier immediately announced, “Mr. Walliot wins this round.”Walliot was a little excited as he gathered

When Walliot saw that Charlie was a little angry, he was immediately nervous, and he hurriedly explained, “Mr. Wade, don’t get me wrong. I did not mean that…”As he spoke, Walliot then said, “I thought that our rules were still the same set of rules and that we would settle and pay up as soon as we lost one hundred million euros. But since you have already said so, I will not continue talking nonsense anymore. We will just settle and pay up when we lose one billion euros then, okay? If we do not lose up to one billion euros at the end of the game, we will just settle and pay up according to the amount that we have lost, then. What do you think?”Charlie nodded with satisfaction and smiled as he said, “That’s right! This is how a man should fucking talk! Otherwise, I would have thought that you were the kind of pathetic and poor person who has never seen money before and cannot wait to put the money in your pocket as soon as you’ve won just a little money.”As he spoke of this, Charl

Charlie played steadily, and he put in another five million chips, leaving only two million chips on hand.Walliot wanted to force Charlie to hurry up and pay out a sum of money first and so, he immediately threw in ten million chips and spoke up, “Mr. Wade, I’ll bet one hundred million euros. You seem to be running out of chips already.”Charlie shrugged, and he threw his bunch of miscellaneous cards aside directly as he said, “I fold.”There was an uproar in the crowd. “He’s folding just like that?”“He has already bet one or two hundred million euros, but he is folding just like that?! Does this guy know how to play or not?”“If I would have known that he’s so stupid, I would have just played against him just now! I wouldn’t have let Walliot take all the money, then!” Walliot was about to laugh out happily at this moment, and he almost could not control his emotions anymore. So, after calming himself down for a long time, he finally said, “Mr. Wade, you don’t have any more
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 3450
The game that followed immediately had a new meaning now.When the cards were dealt, Charlie quickly received three Aces, two of which were on the bright side.As for Walliot, his cards were even more impressive. His cards were 10, J, Q, K, and they were all spades. When Walliot saw these cards, he instantly knew in his heart that the croupier should be planning to give him a flush while he gave Charlie four Aces.The biggest card in Texas Hold’em poker was the straight flush which would kill all other card combinations.Charlie had already exposed two of his best cards which were two Aces at this point, and the best combination of cards that he could possibly obtain would also be just four Aces.Even if Charlie had four Aces, it would be impossible for him to win a straight flush. Therefore, Walliot had no doubt that Charlie would lose this game and that he would win. However, it seemed as though Charlie did not believe in evil, and after a few rounds of betting, Charlie be

So, he said somewhat nervously, “M-Mr. Wade… In my opinion, we should not add on to this game anymore… Two billion euros is really a very big amount. Even if you do not take money seriously, you should not be throwing money away just like that…”Charlie laughed and said, “You’ve not even opened your card yet so how do you know for sure that I would be the one throwing money away, then?” Walliot said awkwardly, “Mr. Wade, I’m not joking with you. I really think that the chances of me winning this game are much greater than yours. Why don’t we just open the cards, and the person who wins will take all the chips on this table. We will not add anything else, okay?”Charlie forced a burst of laughter as he sneered and said, “I already said that you are as indecisive as a woman! I really did not describe you wrongly at all! You have already fucking won a billion euros from me, so what are you afraid of?”As he spoke, Charlie then said to Olivia, “Persuade this fiancé of yours. A man sho

At this moment, Walliot was already prepared to welcome three billion euros as well as a Concorde.Aside from Charlie, everyone at the scene was staring at the croupier’s hand with bated breath.This card would determine the final destination of the billions of euros on the table.Meanwhile, both Walliot and Olivia were certain that victory was in their hands. Charlie did not seem to mind it at all at this time, and he had a neither happy nor sad, neither hurried nor unhurried expression on his face. It was as if everything had nothing to do with him. The croupier then picked up the card and suddenly flipped it over before throwing it in front of Walliot.At this moment, Walliot had not seen exactly what that card was, but he was already stunned as if he had been struck by lightning. This was because… he could see that… his card… was red!Charlie’s four Aces were already displayed there, and if Walliot wanted to win, it would have to be a straight flush.The Ace of Spades w

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

Pausing, Charlie then said, "I'll call Steve to drop by later too. I'm sure folks in Aurous Hill won't know him, but your potential troublemaker might.""I-Is that really fine?" Yolden blurted."What's not fine about it?" Charlie chuckled. "He has been treated like a tool ever since he came to Aurous Hill, and now that he has a chance to strut about, he wouldn't ask for more."Yolden appeared slightly relieved at that, and Charlie asked, "By the way, where's Paul, Matilda, and Autumn?""Getting their makeup done," Yolden replied. "Paul's my best man while Autumn's the maid of honor.""Good," Charlie nodded with a grin. "Don't worry—the wedding's going to be a success."As they spoke, Matilda stepped out of the dressing room in a stark-white wedding dress, flanked by Autumn and Paul.Seeing Charlie, Autumn nodded politely, "Good morning, Mr. Wade."As Charlie nodded in turn, Paul started, "G-Good morning… Mr. Wade…"Seeing that he was nervous and tentative, Charlie knew that he

As Yolden and Matilda were remarrying after living abroad for years, the wedding ceremony was much simpler, skipping Oskian customs and having a simple wedding reception for their guests at the hotel hall.There weren't that many guests either—aside from their children and close friends, only a handful of Yolden's colleagues at Aurous Hill University were invited.As the celebrant, Charlie didn't have much to do and was mainly the emcee.He brought along his jacket as he headed out to Shangri-La, not wearing it immediately so that Claire wouldn't guess that he was attending Matilda's wedding.Arriving at the Hanging Gardens before the guests were supposed to arrive, he found Yolden working with the staff to finalize the preparations.Seeing Charlie, Yolden approached him and said, "Thanks for coming this early, Charlie."Noticing that he was a little tired, Charlie asked in concern, "Had a bad night?"Yolden nodded, sighing, "Paul's uncle caused a huge mess. Both Matilda and I a

Tarlon nodded. "How do you suggest we find them?"Fleur scowled. "There's no rush. There are things which I'm still confused about, so just keep a close eye on the Ackers and the Wades for the time being. Report to me right away if anything important comes up—don't afford our enemies any opportunities to exploit.""Yes, milady!" -The next day, more news outlets were covering the joint project between the Ackers and the Wades as word continued to spread.However, neither family revealed too many details, be it the name of the company, who was the CEO, or the scale of their business.While the public was dying with curiosity, nothing else was known.Still, Aurous Hill's officials were especially interested, with the town hall visiting the Ackers the next day and showing utmost sincerity by leasing a whopping 2-million-square-meter land along the southern highway. Still, the condition was for the Ackers to come true on their promise to propel the city's economy to 15 billion US d

Fleur had repeatedly mentioned the conspiracy theory of Ashley using a body double over the last twenty years.Tarlon had investigated from many different angles, but everything from the gender, age, dental records, to body figure pointed to the fact that the deceased was Ashley Acker.And yet, Fleur had never bought it, insisting that Curtis was prepared for them just because Curtis' son had gone missing soon after.There was no way Curtis would save his son but not his wife, and the disfigured corpse only added fuel to Fleur's suspicion.Thus, over the last twenty years, Fleur had kept a close eye on the Ackers, arranging for two 'scholars' to be embedded amongst their ranks as sleeper agents. She went that far all to determine if Ashley was dead or had faked her death.However, the scholars had since been killed in action, and they had no spies within the Ackers left.As for Tarlon, he still doubted Fleur's theory even now, but he remained respectful as he spoke, "Milady, I mu

Meanwhile, on the edge of the South Pole, Tarlon Griffin rushed outside of Fleur Griffin's room, knocking the door gingerly as he announced, "I have news, my lady!"Fleur didn't respond, but the thick wooden door between them slowly opened as if pushed by an invisible force.Tarlon entered to find Fleur seated on the floor with her legs crossed at the ankles. Her eyes remained closed as she molded her Reiki, asking, "What is it?"Tarlon quickly answered, "News from Oskia. The Ackers are partnering with the Wades on a joint venture into electric-powered vehicles."Fleur slowly opened her eyes, asking quietly, "And you're telling me because?"Tarlon quickly explained, "It just came out of the blue, so I thought I should report it to you right away."Fleur sighed. "After I tried and failed to wipe out the Ackers so many times, they wouldn't dare set foot stateside. If anything, they must have decided to seek asylum in Oskia by offering a substantial investment, and it's a base whe
