Isaac smiled playfully as he said, “You want to know who gave me the courage to do this? Sorry, but this authority was given to me by the young master of the Wade family!” If it was under any normal circumstances, as the spokesperson of the Wade family, Isaac naturally would not dare to directly get into a conflict and confrontation with the Webb family using the Wade family name. How would he have the courage to break the leg of the father and son from the Webb family?However, this decision today was not made by himself, but was an order that had been given directly by his young master!If the young master of the Wade family had said that he wanted the father and son dead, Isaac would do it immediately without any hesitation whatsoever. Besides, the Wade family would definitely back him up and give him all the support and protection he needed!Thus, Isaac had no qualms about his actions at all.Donald and his son were completely stunned!The young master of the Wade family wan
Donald was on the verge of collapse!He knew that he was entirely powerless now! After coming to Aurous Hill, he was not able to uncover the identity of the culprit who had harmed his second son. Instead, both he and his eldest son had lost one of their legs each…Right then, Isaac’s men walked up to Donald and grabbed hold of his right leg, hitting his kneecap directly… Donald felt an extremely sharp pain in his right knee, and he felt as though he was about to pass out from the pain.Donald ground his teeth to stop himself from screaming out loud in pain. However, he could only endure the severe and excruciating pain for less than ten seconds before he let out a loud and horrifying cry!Isaac glared coldly at Donald before he snorted in disdain. “Who do you think the Webb family is? You actually have the audacity to act rashly on the Wade family’s territory? This is just a small punishment to teach you a lesson today! If you dare to offend the Wade family again in the future, t
Donald trembled in fear before he turned around and asked nervously, “Mr. Cameron, do you have any other orders for us?” Isaac pointed at Johnny and the other four men who were lying on the ground before he said coldly, “I want the both of you to drag these five dogs out of this place right now! I do not want them to dirty my Shangri-La any further!”“I…” Donald felt very anxious and felt as though he was going to vomit blood! It took him a moment to come to his senses before he blurted out, “Mr. Cameron, I have already told you that the five of them have nothing to do with the Webb family any longer. You can do whatever you want with them. You can even kill them if you want to.”Isaac replied coldly, “Did you forget what I just said earlier? These five men have works of art engraved on their foreheads. I want you to bring them back to the Webb family mansion with you. I want you to make sure that you wait on them and treat them well for the rest of their lives. You cannot allow
After Donald’s complete compromise, the injured and crippled father and son could only try desperately to carry Johnny and the other four bodyguards out of the Shangri-La hotel. Both of them were already crippled, but Sean was in an even more miserable state. He had a broken hand and leg. Therefore, it was extremely difficult for him to carry the five men out of the hotel. The father and son could only use all of their strength and effort to drag Johnny out. They could not help but pant from the exhaustion with every step they took.They were not only extremely tired and exhausted, but their broken leg was also hurting terribly.At this time, neither one of them dared to say anything or make any noise at all. They could only grit their teeth as they persisted in dragging those five men out.Isaac crossed his arms in front of his chest as though he was enjoying a good show in front of him. He simply watched as the father and son exerted all of their strength to drag the five men
At this time, Kian, who had been at the Webb family mansion in Sudbury, suddenly gave Donald a call. He had just regained his consciousness after finishing his extra meal. Kian called his father regardless of the horrible and foul stench in his mouth. Donald did not expect to receive a phone call from his youngest son at this time.After all, the latter had been very depressed during this period. Every time he finished eating his meal, he would only feel like dying and committing suicide. He was in a very decadent state, and he did not want to see or talk to anyone at all.Donald could not understand why his youngest son would be calling him at this time.Could it be because Kian had heard about what had happened to him and his eldest son? Did Kian call him to comfort him?Donald could not help but feel somewhat relieved as he thought about this.However, as soon as he answered the call, he could hear Kian’s extremely flustered voice over the other end of the line. “Dad! Some
Donald was not the only one who was furious!Even Sean was very angry at this time! Cain and Marcus were simply insulting and trampling all over the entire Webb family by posting their ‘stand-up comedy’ on the internet. This was absolutely humiliating!Moreover, both the father and son were still insulting them after all of the humiliation that they have already suffered!This was completely unacceptable!The father and son actually publicly posted the video of their ‘stand-up comedy’ on the internet!The Webb family was the top and most influential family in the entire South Region. Therefore, they had a pretty huge reputation and face in the country. This video was publicly mocking, satirizing and insulting the entire Webb family! Furthermore, this video was gaining so much popularity amongst the netizens!On one hand, the netizens were all very curious about the origins of these two men who had words engraved on their foreheads. Who were they? How could they possibly be so s
However, just as the number of likes on the video had exceeded one and a half million likes, there was suddenly a prompt on the TikTok account: ‘Your account has been permanently suspended for posting illegal contents!’Charlie frowned as soon as he saw the message.What the hell? Permanently suspended?Charlie immediately took out his own cell phone and tried to search for the stand-up comedy video between Cain and Marcus. At this time, he realized that the entire video had already been deleted from the internet!Charlie then realized that this must have been done by Donald. He must have spent some money to deal with his public relations crisis!Truth be told, Charlie had not expected Donald to use this method to curb the spread and circulation of this video. He could not help but feel a little annoyed at this time.After thinking about it, Charlie used his cell phone to call Stephen Thompson who was far away in Eastcliff.Isaac Cameron was one of the many spokesmen of the W
As Donald finally heaved a huge sigh of relief because the video on TikTok had already been deleted, he would never have dreamt that the TikTok video platform had already completed their transaction with the Wade family from Eastcliff. At this time, the Wade family from Eastcliff wholly owned the TikTok video platform which they had acquired for eighty-five billion dollars.Before the news was officially released, the Wade family had already begun to take over the operations of the TikTok video platform.The first thing they did was to restore Marcus’s deleted account. At the same time, they also restored the video that had been deleted.Immediately afterward, the technicians set it up so that this video would pop up directly on the home screen of all the users on the TikTok video platform across the entire country!Donald did not know that things had already taken a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn at this point. As he was waiting for the helicopter to arrive, he suddenly rece
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
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
