Chapter 7301
There weren't many others waiting in the luxuriously decorated lounge, as the first-class lounge was separate from the guest lounge. The latter was meant for everyone else, whether flying economy or holding the airline's VIP card. In contrast, the first-class lounge was only open to the guests who spent hundreds of thousands for a transoceanic flight.After Charlie, Claire, Elaine, and Jacob showed their tickets, a young waiter led them to the couch inside.By sheer coincidence, both Mr. Larcelle and Mrs. Larcelle were there too, having breakfast.Grudges were never easily forgotten, and Elaine started toward them as soon as she saw them, rolling up their sleeves.Mr. Larcelle was himself surprised to see Charlie and the others, as flying first-class from Aurous Hill to the Maldives costs up to 70,000.In his mind, he was even cursing—it really hurt his wallet to spend 140,000 Oskian dollars on two first-class tickets. And yet, all four of those losers could afford first class?

While Mr. Larcelle knew what he was dealing with, Mrs. Larcelle definitely didn't.Although she had hooked up with Mr. Larcelle for a while now, she never really enjoyed the privilege of a private jet, only hearing him talk about it a couple of times.And Mr. Larcelle definitely couldn't bear to splurge on a long journey with a private jet, only hitching rides after a flight had been chartered, or just for a short trip back to Aurous Hill. As the cost-effectiveness of private jets was simply that low, private jet owners usually had agents negotiating bargains with interested parties—a few dozen thousand Oskian dollars to cover fuel costs, and they'd happily let someone else ride along. It was very much like a cabbie picking up a fare on his way home after a long journey.Still, to put on airs, Mr. Larcelle once spent a hundred grand flying from Aurous Hill to Coleham, and he had since been bragging about it, even telling his new wife that he would fly private jet wherever he went.

Elaine actually didn't think that Mr. Larcelle would give in that easily from just a video post, when he was being so pompous outside the airport just earlier.Still, even as she grinned triumphantly, she was thinking to herself that it really didn't hurt to post so much on social media—that was something she used to great effect now, no?With that in mind, she snorted coolly and told Mr. Larcelle, "Young man, I don't mind giving it to you straight—never overestimate your own importance. Always understand that there's always a bigger fish… See, my husband is an important man in the Calligraphy and Painting Association, so he can't show off too much. If it were just me alone, I'd be flying to the Maldives on a G650. Why would I even get on the same plane as you?"Any pride Mr. Larcelle had completely vaporized under Elaine's menacing glare just then, and he kept bowing his head in apology, "Yes, you're right, ma'am. I should know better and tone it down!"Nodding in satisfaction, El

As Claire recalled all the things that happened to her mother, she had come to understand a truth—she and her parents were very ordinary people, and very ordinary people wouldn't have miracles rolling in one after the other, let alone wealth that seemed to fall right on their lap.That was why as Claire started thinking back to all the things they had been through for the past few years, she was sure that everything unbelievable or lucky was Charlie's work behind the scenes.Her own father used to be directed by his family, but somehow became the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association—that must be Charlie too.Most embarrassingly, her father managed to lose that job because of the scandal he caused, but Charlie stepped up again and restored him to a leadership position.As such, even if her father was less self-centered and less of a troublemaker compared to her mother, he caused Charlie plenty of trouble anyway.At that moment, Claire's heart swelled with mela

Jacob and Elaine didn't take photos or talk loudly to keep up appearances and looked like they always flew first-class.That in turn pleased Charlie. Fortunately, the conflict ended before they boarded their flight, and now there was peace and quiet.The flight lasted a handful of hours until they landed in Male, the capital of the Maldives.Male was a small island, so the airport was small—but there were private jets and other luxury aircraft as far as one's eyes could see.As a globally renowned vacation spot, the economy was modest and the average GDP was nothing to brag about, but the rich and privileged were always drawn here.Naturally, they loved this place because everything was great here—the scenery, the sea, the climate, and most importantly, it was an island country.It was basically thousands of islands of varying sizes far away from the mainland. Some were populous, inhabited with so many locals that they looked like slums.Others were all private properties, cover

Mrs. Larcelle was on the verge of tears. "It's like we can't shake them off. They just keep showing up wherever we go…""Urgh, you don't get it," Mr. Larcelle growled under his breath. "They are rich—if not richer than us, so they'd pick the expensive stuff in the Maldives. But even if they were quite something, we'd be doing our own thing and staying out of each other's way. Just bear with it."However, Mrs. Larcelle remained upset and groaned, "Urgh, this is really killing my mood… It's so annoying…"Mr. Larcelle promptly hissed, "Oh, just pipe down already! The less trouble, the better—get it? It's my fault for starting it at the airport, so let's just leave it at that, alright?"Mrs. Larcelle was still sulking.It was supposed to be a dream journey, but Elaine had been trouncing her since the lounge, even after they disembarked.And it was a really tough pill to swallow.Fortunately, Elaine no longer considered them a threat and didn't even bother to mess with them.So as t

Still, every guest here must be rich, and a few hundred grand was really acceptable.After settling in their villas and taking a break, Charlie mentioned dinner, sending a brochure of the restaurants.Elaine was the first to reply, "Let's try the local seafood first! I heard their local dishes are great!""Sure," Charlie replied, and quickly called Hani to reserve a table at the restaurant serving local cuisine.After booking a reservation, all four of them put on Hawaiian shirts and khaki shorts, stepped out into the sea breeze, and headed out to the restaurant.The scenery along the way was simply gorgeous—Jacob and Elaine never stopped taking pictures.In contrast, Claire looked bored, clapping her hands front and behind as she strolled along, clearly not interested in any of it.Concerned, Charlie asked, "Why do you look so bored, dear? You don't like the place?"Claire forced a smile and shook her head. "I guess the journey wore me out and I can't quite recover yet. And I

Hamed didn't notice Charlie just then.He had one woman in each arm, a cigar between his lips, and looked clearly relaxed, even having a whale of a time.On the other hand, Claire, Elaine, and Jacob were all perplexed, unsure how Charlie had become acquainted with the Syrian, who clearly looked rich.Impatient as ever, Elaine asked bluntly, "Sonny, when did you meet him? I mean, how smug could he be, taking both wives out on a trip?"Charlie smiled. "Like you said, it's their culture and it's legal."Pausing, he then explained, "Oh, he's also a client. Didn't Albert ask me to look into some gas mines near the northwest border? He has money invested into the mines."Jacob and Elaine both nodded—it made sense for a middle-eastern tycoon to invest in a gas mine near the border, as it was near their own borders too.On the other hand, Claire kept his head down, staying silent as she knew that Charlie was lying again.In fact, whenever Charlie used the excuse of traveling on the job

As he finished, Hamed told the women under his breath to find a table, before he threw an arm around Charlie's shoulder and exclaimed excitedly, "Come, brother! Let's talk outside!"Once they got to the beach outside the restaurant, Hamed made sure there was no one around before giving Charlie a bear hug, exclaiming excitedly, "We're really bound together by fate, brother! Fancy running into you here!"Charlie chuckled. "So, when did you marry twice? Never heard anything about that."Hamed scratched his head in embarrassment, "Oh, the old missus bailed during the war, saying I was too dangerous to be with. I never cared to marry since, but started to settle down as the war ended, thanks to you."Then I got married twice—wanted to invite you, but it's not easy bringing someone over to that godforsaken place of mine. And with things getting nervous reasonably, I feel even less keen to bring you over."Charlie nodded. 'Well, it's a complete victory now that your faction claimed full

Charlie's in-depth projections and analysis left Hamed nervous right then, and he was scowling as he asked, "Come on, man—I can't attack or defend? Doesn't that mean I'm going to lose anyway?"Charlie sighed. "Well, things definitely look bleak—I just didn't think you guys would win that quickly, or for the situation to change this quickly."Hamed groaned, "Well, what should I do?"Charlie thought about it for a while, and said solemnly, "In your place, I'll start from the inside. Seek out any discord or signs of infighting in the enemy camp. Turn them against each other or use money to tempt potential allies. Then, find the right timing for a pincer, and you'd be looking at a complete takeover.""Oh, but…" Hamed smiled awkwardly. "You're a master tactician, but I'm not! To be honest, it's taxing for me just leading 3,000 men. If I had to lead more, I'd be overwhelmed!"Then, he turned towards Charlie excitedly, "Unless you're willing to take over command for me!""Buzz off," Cha
