A concerned frown appeared on Jeffrey’s forehead. He turned to his father, Jordan, and huffed, “Dad, why don’t we just sell off our property and run away with the money? If Kenneth really wants to attack us, we’ll be dead!”Jordan roared, “B*stard! Sell off our property?! If we sell it in a hurry, my billion-dollar empire may cost only 200 million! Do you know that, you idiot! This is my hard work!”Liam nodded. “Dad is right. Jeff, Weaver Pharmaceutical is dad’s precious creation, how could we sell it just like that?”Jeffrey raised his hand and slapped Liam. “Shut up, b*stard! Do you think you have any say here?”Liam stumbled a few steps back because of the force of the slap, covering his face. He pouted in dismay, but he spruced up and said firmly, “Jeff, I’ll still say it even if you slap me. The company is dad’s hard work, we cannot sell it!”“I’m gonna f*cking kill you!” Jeffrey’s face turned into an ugly shade of red. He was about to jump on Liam when Jordan, who had alway
It was truly a pleasure to see him go crazy.He was basically finished for the rest of his life since he had to eat shit every hour. Now, he wouldn’t have the time to ruin another girl’s life ever again.Charlie locked the screen and said to Claire with a smile, “I’ve heard of this guy.”“Really?” Claire asked in surprise. “How? From where did you hear of him?”“He is a very bad and nasty guy who loves to psychologically manipulate girls and force them to inflict self-harm and commit suicide for his own pleasure.”Charlie began recounting Kian’s criminal history to Claire.Claire huffed furiously after listening to Charlie. “Oh my goodness, what a b*stard! Why would he do that to other people’s daughters?”Charlie said sincerely, “Well, frankly, there are always scumbags like him who like to hurt others for pleasure. They are the useless dregs of society. Sooner or later, karma will bite them back.”Claire nodded with a satisfied smile. “It looks like his karma has bitten him a
After giving instructions to Albert, Charlie called Isaac once again.As soon as the call was connected, Charlie told him immediately, “After Ichiro succeeds tonight, he’ll definitely try to escape from the country in the shortest time possible tonight. Therefore, you should set up a trap for him in Aurous Hill. Anyone in his group should be allowed to escape except for him!”Isaac replied immediately, “Don’t worry, Mr. Wade. I’ve already made all the necessary arrangements. I’ll definitely intercept Ichiro before he manages to escape!”After that, Isaac also promised, “I’ll make sure that the medicine that Ichiro stole from Anthony will never be taken out of the country!”“No!” Charlie said hurriedly. “I want them to take the medicine back to Japan. Remember that the medicine should leave the country but Ichiro must not be allowed to leave the country!”Isaac hurriedly replied, “Mr. Wade, I understand! Don’t worry, I won’t let Ichiro escape so easily!”“Okay!” Charlie smiled sli
Therefore, Ichiro was pinning his future on that night’s events.As he thought about this, Ichiro, who was extremely excited, quickly made a phone call to his father.His father, who was still paralyzed in bed, connected the call as soon as he received it. “Ichiro, where have you been the past few days? Why haven’t you come to see me at all?”Ichiro hurriedly replied, “Dad! I am seeking medicine for you in Aurous Hill. I heard that there’s a genius doctor here who cured a patient with severe paraplegia not too long ago!”“Is that true?” Masao asked in surprise. “Is there really such a magical doctor in Aurous Hill who would be able to cure severe paraplegia?”“Yes!” Ichiro replied. “I’ve already checked the hospital records and confirmed that the patient has been cured of his severe paraplegia! I also asked around and everyone confirmed that the genius doctor was in fact the one who cured the patient with just half a magical pill!”“Half a magical pill?” Masao was very excited at
Ichiro felt that he was going crazy after hanging up the phone because he was simply too excited!If he could get his hands on the magical pill, then he would definitely end up becoming the successor of Kobayashi Pharma.Coming to Aurous Hill was indeed a good bargain this time!At this time, Ichiro’s assistant, who was seated next to him in the Maybach, said, “Mr. Kobayashi, it is already eleven o’clock. Should we do it now?”Ichiro nodded before he sneered and said, “Do it!”The assistant quickly took out his walkie-talkie and ordered, “Do it now!”As soon as the voice fell, six men quickly sneaked into Anthony’s Serene World Clinic.Tonight, Anthony was sleeping over in the small bedroom in Serene World Clinic.In fact, Anthony had been patiently waiting for the Japanese to come for him at this time.However, to be safe, he arranged for his granddaughter, Xyla, to stay at the hotel tonight.After entering Serene World Clinic, the six men immediately came into Anthony’s bed
His assistant smiled before he said, “Don’t worry too much, Mr. Kobayashi. I don’t think anyone in Aurous Hill will be able to respond so quickly. We’ll take half an hour at most to reach the airport. After that, getting through the security check will be very quick for you since you’ll be using the VIP passage. We should be able to take off within an hour. At that time, not even God will be able to stop us!”Ichiro’s Maybach immediately drove away from Serene World Clinic and they headed on the expressway all the way to the airport immediately. They were planning to arrive at the airport as quickly as possible before they boarded the plane to return to Tokyo.Ichiro’s excitement increased rapidly along the way. He repeatedly looked at the four magical pills before he muttered to himself, “The Kobayashi family will be able to rely on this magical pill to stand up strong and powerful all over the world! At that time, I’ll definitely become the chairman of Kobayashi Pharma.”The Mayb
Ichiro handed the stolen magical pills over to his assistant and he was finally relieved after watching his assistant enter the airport without any problem. After that, Ichiro asked Isaac, “Where is your young lord?”Isaac replied lightly, “You’ll know once you come with me.”After he was done speaking, he signaled at the people around him before they dragged Ichiro over to the nearest off-road Mercedes-Benz immediately.The convoy quickly left the airport as they headed towards the dog farm opened by Albert in the suburbs.On the way to the dog farm, Isaac called Charlie before he said, “Mr. Wade, Ichiro is in my hands now. I’m bringing him over to Don Albert’s dog farm now. If you want to come over, I will send someone over to pick you up immediately!”Charlie glanced at Claire, who was fast asleep at this time, before he replied, “Alright then. Arrange for a car to pick me up from outside my house in five minutes.”After making the pearl and clam bracelet for Claire that was w
Charlie nodded before he looked at the six men and asked them, “Do you know this man, then?”The six men had a blank expression on their faces. They looked as if they could not speak their language at all.Isaac stepped forward at this time before he spoke to them in Japanese. At this time, the six men also shook their heads as they said a lot of words.Very soon, Isaac told Charlie, “Mr. Wade, they said that they do not know this man at all.”“Oh.” Charlie nodded before he said lightly, “Since they don’t know each other, then just pick one of them before chopping them up alive. After that, you can feed him to the dogs before asking the remaining five people again.”“Okay!” Isaac immediately explained Charlie’s words to the six men in Japanese and the six men were all shocked and dumbfounded at this time.They could not believe it. Charlie had simply asked them one single sentence and he was actually going to chop them up and feed them to the dogs?Did he really have that much g
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
