It was not surprising that commercial real estate projects worth billions of dollars would leave Jasmine in shock, as a project on such a large-scale was rare even globally. The total cost of Burj Khalifa in Dubai was only one and a half billion US dollars. It seemed that the only building with an overall cost exceeding five billion US dollars was Apple’s headquarters building.For the Ackers, although its overall strength was not as good as the Rothschild or the Saudi royal family, the Ackers’ real assets were still slightly better than Apple. Spending eight billion US dollars to invest in commercial real estate in Aurous Hill was enough to build a huge small city. Even if the Ackers were to move their entire headquarters here, it would not cost so much money.However, before Christian came here, the Ackers had already reached a consensus. Jasmine had a close relationship with the owner of the Rejuvenating Pill. Since Christian was here to see her, he naturally had to show enoug

Christian said with a smile, “Although Aurous Hill is still just a new first-tier city, I’m very optimistic about Aurous Hill’s future development. Perhaps this place might become the focus of the world in the future.”Jasmine asked doubtfully, “Why are you so optimistic about Aurous Hill, Mr. Christian?”Christian said seriously, “Miss Jasmine, although you’ve only held the auction for the Rejuvenating Pill once, it made me realize the appeal of this divine pill to the super wealthy. Every city is looking for its own characteristics and positioning nowadays. Take the United States for example, New York is characterized by finance, San Francisco is characterized by technology, Los Angeles is characterized by manufacturing, Houston is characterized by aerospace, and Detroit is characterized by automobiles manufacturing.”With that said, Christian said with confidence, “With the support of the auction for the Rejuvenating Pill, Aurous Hill will definitely be able to attract more top i

“Furthermore, I’ve also heard of The Apothecary Pharmaceutical that is in Aurous Hill. Although this company has developed a small number of samples, they are all shocking products with excellent medicinal effects. With this pharmaceutical company in Aurous Hill, its popularity in the medicine and healthcare industry will definitely be of great help in the future.”Jasmine did not expect that Christian would have noticed The Apothecary Pharmaceutical as well, so she could not help but feel a little surprised as she asked Christian, “Mr. Christian, you know about The Apothecary Pharmaceutical as well?”Christian nodded without hiding anything and said directly, “I heard that The Apothecary Pharmaceutical previously launched an anti-cancer miracle drug called the Apothecary Restoration Pill. A batch of the drugs were given to the FDA for clinical trials. It is said that the batch of pills have been regarded as strategic reserve materials by the White House because of its excellent effi

Under normal circumstances, it was difficult for others to get a chance to have a share in any of the projects undertaken by the Ackers even if they rushed to buy the shares with money. Moreover, even if some of the Ackers’ projects were open to external investment, not everyone could get the investment share. The Ackers had always been strict in selecting its business partners, and one would not be able to invest even if one had money, as long as the person’s assets did not meet the threshold requirements. What’s more, if outsiders wanted to invest in the Ackers’ projects, it was equivalent to investing in a wealth management fund. Even if they got the opportunity, they would have to pay a certain percentage of management fee to the Ackers, who was the trader, and this management fee had to reach at least twenty-five percent. If it was a project that was worth ten billion US dollars and the Ackers offered a forty percent quota, it seemed that each percentage point corresponded t

Jasmine walked Christian to the door of her office and then asked her assistant to send Christian downstairs while she returned to the office and called Charlie. Jasmine then reported everything that Christian had just mentioned to Charlie in detail over the phone. After hearing Jasmine’s words, Charlie could not help but smile and say, “It seems that my uncle is indeed quite sincere. If these two collaborations between Moore Group and the Ackers can be implemented, the market value of Moore Group may double or increase by even more within the next year.”With that said, Charlie added, “In addition, my uncle’s ideas about the development of healthcare in Aurous Hill almost coincide with my previous plan. With my current ability, if I want to help Aurous Hill improve its international influence and attract more capital, the best way would be through healthcare. If it is done well, it might take a few years for Aurous Hill to become the fifth first-tier city in Oskia.”As Charlie spo

Christian kept waiting for a call from Jasmine’s assistant on the way back to Willow Manor. He knew that the conditions he offered to Jasmine today were very sincere, and Jasmine would definitely ask his benefactor for instructions before giving him a clear answer.However, he did not know where his benefactor was at the moment. He did not know whether he was in Aurous Hill or Oskia. Therefore, Christian speculated that if his benefactor was in Oskia or even in Aurous Hill, Jasmine would definitely contact him as soon as possible and report this matter to him. Jasmine would get someone to reply to him quickly as to whether she would agree to his conditions, then.If the reply came quickly, his benefactor might be in Aurous Hill.However, Jasmine still hadn’t replied to Christian even after he arrived at Willow Manor. When he returned home, the Acker family members immediately put down everything on hand and approached him as they waited for him to give them the latest update on th

Kaeden hurriedly asked, “What did Miss Jasmine say?”Christian replied, “She didn’t give me a clear answer. She said that she wanted to think about it. I think that she wants to report this matter to our benefactor first and ask for his opinion.”Kaeden slapped his thighs and cried out, “Oh, Christian! It should have taken you more than half an hour to drive back here. Did Miss Jasmine send you a reply yet?”Christian said, “Not yet.”Kaeden was a little disappointed and sighed as he said, “It seems that our benefactor is most likely not in Aurous Hill…”Christian nodded and said, “I share the same thoughts as you. If she takes a long time to reply, I’m guessing that there is a high probability that our benefactor is not in Aurous Hill.”With that said, Christian added, “When I was talking to Miss Jasmine, she mentioned that our benefactor had left Aurous Hill as well. I was wondering if our benefactor had continued staying abroad after the incident in New York.”Kaeden smacked

After Merlin was done speaking, Keith, whose condition had improved greatly over the past few days and whose memory had gradually begun to recover, suddenly said with a serious expression, “Merlin is right! We used to deny everything based on intuition too easily. That’s why we haven’t been able to find Charlie even after so many years! Sometimes, when doing things, we have to go against our own intuition!”Christian nodded and said, “After my sister’s accident, we searched Aurous Hill for a while but did not find Charlie’s whereabouts. We intuitively judged that Charlie must have left Aurous Hill at the time. Since then, we’ve always looked for Charlie outside of Aurous Hill, but we’ve been searching for twenty years with no results. Perhaps Charlie never left Aurous Hill in the first place!” Kaeden was silent for a moment and then suddenly raised his head and frowned as he said, “Now that I think about it, there are really unfathomable depths in Aurous Hill! If nothing else, based

Ares LLP was the biggest law firm in the States, and only the best of the best were recruited as associates.If Jimmy got to pick ten of their partners, he was basically taking a huge chunk out of their human resources.Moreover, the partners' salaries would be very expensive. With Jimmy included, eleven of them meant over a hundred million US dollars at minimum. Ares would definitely be maimed if they had to pay that much money while losing ten of their elites! Naturally, Jimmy didn't feel confident about achieving that, and he asked Charlie, "Mr. Wade… Don't you think it's too much? Would Nate even agree to that?"Charlie shrugged. "Of course he won't agree if you're the one asking, but he would definitely say yes if it were Julien."Julien almost rolled his eyes.The man was truly ruthless, ready to inflict so much damage at the drop of a hat.Worst of all, he was going to play the villain for Charlie.Still, he said confidently, "Don't worry, Mr. Wade! I will pressure him

However, Jimmy realized something important even as he sighed in relief. "Wait, Mr. Wade… I know I should settle things in the family Stateside, but won't I be arrested upon arrival?""That's Julien's department," Charlie chuckled and turned toward the man. "Tell your butler not to send the evidence to the feds. If it has reached them already, ask to have it back and tell the feds they saw nothing."Julien promptly nodded. "I'll text him right now. You have nothing to worry about, Mr. Wade."Jimmy remained worried. "But sir, I think Nate's not going to let this slide. The man is cunning—he deliberately dug a pit so we'd fall into it, and he gathered all the dirt he could on us to be used as leverage when necessary."Charlie shook his head. "That's no big deal. Julien can make sure that you're fine even if the feds get the evidence."Julien nodded nearby. "Don't worry, Mr. Wade. The decision remains in your hands, either way. Just say the word, and it's 25 to life… otherwise, not e

The fact that Jimmy was a partner in Ares LLP already meant he had skill, while Matilda had herself been retired for years and definitely had lost her touch a little. So, having someone like Jimmy who had stayed on the frontlines all this while would definitely be no issue.And in turn, it was a good thing for Jimmy as it was better than the kennels either way.Charlie then asked Jimmy pointedly, "You say you're interested, but are you sincere about it?"Jimmy nodded without hesitation. "Yes, absolutely!""No regrets? We're talking about ten years here.""None, absolutely none!""Do you know what to say if anyone asks?""Yes, of course! I chose to further my career here in Oskia, and it was absolutely voluntary! That's what I'd say even if my family asked!"Charlie nodded. "Good. Then, you will have two weeks. Go home and set your affairs in order and report in for work afterward.""No problem!" Jimmy nodded repeatedly, actually surprised and grateful that Charlie would let hi

And yet, Julien was suddenly clapping his hands, and exclaiming excitedly, "Yes, right! We should get his wife and son over too for a happy reunion!"He then paused and quickly corrected himself, "Wait, no! I mean, they should each be caged with one empty cage separating each of their cages. They can see each other and talk, but there will be no touching. How dare he flex on me—I gotta teach him a lesson to remember!"Jimmy dropped limply on his rump, and Matilda beckoned for Paul to help him up while turning toward Julien as she pursed her lips. "Please, Mr. Rothschild… Even if you don't accept his apology, don't bring his family into this. It's against Oskian tradition—you'd insult your family's name!"Julien shrugged, not hesitating to retort, "What do your traditions have to do with me? If I mean to hurt him, forget his family—I'll drag his dogs over too!"Seeing that Julien was so furious, Charlie decided to stop him, or he might actually go through with it."That's enough, J

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
