Charlie smiled in return and said casually, “Thank you for your kindness, Andre. I came to Vancouver for a personal errand, but I’d be happy to play a couple of games with you. There’s probably nothing that I’ll need to trouble you with.”Charlie raised his brow and let out an easy laugh. “But if you have the opportunity to visit Oskia in future, you can contact me if you encounter any trouble. Do pay attention, I’m talking about the whole Oskia. My influence isn’t just limited to a certain city. I’m quite renowned in that country.”Andre felt a little annoyed after hearing this. The implication behind Charlie’s words was clear as day. Charlie had a powerful influence in an entire country, compared to Andre, who only had a tiny fraction of power limited to just a small city. Andre knew it was a clear jab on him. Charlie was making it clear that he thought little of Andre. The realization gave rise to a small burst of anger. Andre was seething.He was a merciless character who

Never did the bunny girl imagine that Charlie would be so generous. All sorts of emotions colored her face. She was stunned, surprised, and delighted, all at the same time. Gripping the two chips in her hand, she stammered in excitement, “Sir… You… You… This…”She couldn’t believe that Charlie would give her the chips worth twenty thousand dollars without so much as a blink. It was too good to be true! According to the rules of the casino, the chips are a currency issued by the casino and can be exchanged for cash at any time.The moment she exited the door, she could immediately exchange the two plastic chips for twenty thousand Canadian dollars!The bunny girl was over the moon. She could scarcely believe there was someone in this world who would be so generous. Charlie studied her expression of delight with a small smile. “Don’t worry, just take it. It’s a tip for you.”Then, he deliberately glanced at the other bunny girl who was standing at Andre’s side.Jealousy, envy,

Having said that, Gopher turned around and left the room. Charlie was left with Andre, the dealer, and the two bunny girls.Charlie didn’t bother to give the dealer any psychological hints, nor did he put on an act.He planned to lose two million Canadian dollars first, and then barter his cargo ship, and lose it in the game as well.In this completely unfair poker game, Charlie and Andre’s poker luck was simply lopsided. In just under an hour, Charlie lost half of his two million Canadian dollars’ worth of chips. Andre, on the other hand, grew more and more excited. He had never made money as quickly as he did tonight! The thought of earning one million Canadian dollars in the span of an hour was so much that he felt he was floating in the sky.At this moment, one of Gopher’s subordinates approached him and whispered to Gopher, “Mr. Gopher, we’ve already succeeded in capturing several prey. They’re all at the port, waiting to be delivered to the high seas tomorrow. Are you st

Andre hurriedly took the thick stack of documents Charlie threw at him and carefully flipped through it.After reading a few pages, the corners of his mouth curled into a delighted grin. His flattering expression from before returned as he looked at Charlie with an oily smile. “Why, Mr. Wade! You really are an extraordinary man! You’re even doing business in Vancouver. This cargo ship is secondhand, but it still costs twenty million US dollars. That’s not cheap!” Charlie was indifferent. “It’s only a fifteen thousand ton cargo ship. It’s nothing!”Then, Charlie growled impatiently, “Stop spewing nonsense. How much money can this cargo ship be offset for? Give me a number.”Andre was actively brainstorming the best outcome.His gang often transported contraband in and out of Canada by sea. Due to their lack of financial strength and resources, they didn’t have their own cargo ship. Thus, they were always borrowing cargo ships from other parties to transport their goods. As the

“Never mind.” Charlie pointed at the stack of documents relating to the cargo ship, which was lying in front of Andre. He hissed through gritted teeth, “That cargo ship will be yours if I can’t turn things around tonight!”Andre laughed and said excitedly, “Okay! Mr. Wade, you really are easygoing! I guess I’ll play a few more rounds with you!”Having said that, Andre immediately instructed Gopher, “Get Mr. Wade another two million chips!” Gopher ran out without hesitation and returned with a tray of chips a minute later. This time, Charlie set a new record for the speed at which he lost money.It took him only twenty minutes to lose two million Canadian dollars. The bunny girl next to him had never seen anything like it, and was completely stunned.She wasn’t a professional in the casino, and she had never witnessed such a big gambling game. Andre’s body was now trembling in excitement. Despite having been in this field for so long, he’d never make money this quickly. Ever

“What?!”At Charlie’s words, Andre instantly stood up and blurted out, “Are you sure it’s going back to Oskia that early?”Charlie said, “The reason I bought this cargo ship was to bring it back to Oskia. I can’t possibly leave it parked at the Vancouver dock after buying it, right?”Having said that, Charlie asked casually, “Do you want me to make a phone call and ask the captain not to set sail for the time being?”How could Andre possibly dare to allow Charlie make a phone call at this time? If Charlie happened to request the other party to contact the police, things would undoubtedly be very difficult for Andre to deal with. After all, Charlie was a foreigner. He was not a stowaway, nor was he an illegal immigrant. Andre pocketed so much money from Charlie that if the police got involved, everything would turn into a mess too big for him to handle. Moreover, the Oskian embassies have always attached great importance to the safety and rights of their citizens. If the embas

There were more than ten masked men inside all four cars, and they were all members of the Italian gang under Andre’s command. Two unconscious young women were stuffed inside the trunk, both bound and gagged, with black gunny sacks pulled over their heads. These unfortunate women were the gang’s targets, and it seemed Stephanie was the last one to complete the collection. Following the plan, they would drive to the pier immediately after acquiring Stephanie. They would meet the rest of the gang there, and then ship the kidnapped women to the high seas.The window of the passenger side of the car at the very front was soon lowered, and out popped the head of a masked man. He shone a special violet flashlight at Mrs. Lewis’ house. Sure enough, his gang’s markings could be seen on the pillar by the door. Having confirmed this, he closed the window and whispered in the intercom, “Sam, drive around to the back door. We’ll go in at the same time. Make it quick!”A voice replied to him

At this, they almost collapsed in fright.Since these men in black could deal with their colleagues without making a sound, it proved that the men’s strength was beyond their level.They knew they were next. There was no way for them to escape their doom!As they stood petrified, several more men in black came in, carrying more of their unconscious colleagues. “Sir, we found some drivers in the cars outside. There are two unconscious women already hidden in the trunk.”Now, even their getaway drivers were caught! They broke into cold sweat, shivering upon the realization that they were done for. Porter, dressed in the same black combat uniform as his subordinates, approached them and demanded in an icy tone that allowed no rebuttal, “Who’s your leader?” The thugs were too scared to speak. All they could think of was how to find a way out of this mess.Porter grew impatient when the thugs refused to speak. Without wasting a second longer, he grabbed the nearest one and strangle

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
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6603
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
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6599
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
