Chapter 01
Decorative lights and illuminants lit up the extravagant Wilson family mansion.Tonight was the 70th birthday banquet of Lady Wilson, the head of the Wilson family.Her grandchildren and their spouses gathered around her to hand her their luxurious gifts.“Grandma, I heard that you love the Chinese tea. I looked high and low for this century-old Pu’er tea worth half a million dollars to present it to you.”“Grandma, you are a devoted Buddhist. This Buddha statue is carved from the authentic Hetian jade, it is worth seven hundred thousand dollars…”Looking at the nicely wrapped gifts in front of her, Lady Wilson laughed heartily. The entire ambiance was harmonious and happy.Suddenly, Charlie Wade, Lady Wilson’s eldest grandson-in-law, spoke, “Grandma, could you lend me a million dollars, please? Mrs. Lewis from the welfare home is diagnosed with uremia and I need the money for her treatment…”The entire Wilson family gaped in extreme shock.Everyone stared at Charlie with bewilderment and surprise.This live-in grandson-in-law was overly atrocious and bold! Not only did he not prepare a gift for Lady Wilson on her birthday but he actually had the audacity to ask her for one million dollars!Three years ago, Lord Wilson, who was still alive and well, had come home with Charlie one day and insisted on marrying him to their granddaughter, Claire Wilson. Back then, Charlie was as poor and miserable as a beggar.Lord Wilson had passed away after they got married. Ever since then, everyone in the Wilson family tried to kick him out of the family. However, Charlie was always indifferent and nonchalant like a statue despite the insults and ridicule, and he spent his days in the Wilson family quietly as a live-in son-in-law.He was at his wits’ end that he had to borrow money from Lady Wilson today.Mrs. Lewis, who had taken him in and saved his life, had uremia. She needed at least one million dollars for dialysis and a kidney transplant. He had no other ideas except for asking for Lady Wilson’s help.He felt that since it was her birthday today, she might be delighted to have some mercy and provide her assistance.However, Lady Wilson was still laughing gleefully when abruptly her lips curled downwards and his eyes furrowed indignantly.She hurled the teacup in her hand to the floor and growled, “B*stard! Are you here to celebrate my birthday or borrow money?”Claire hurried forward and said, “Grandma, Charlie is not thinking straight, please forgive him.” She then pulled her husband aside frantically.At this moment, Wendy, Claire’s cousin sneered in disdain. “Claire, look at the piece of trash you’re married to! Gerald is only my fiancé and we haven’t even gotten married yet but he gifted Grandma the jade Buddha. Look at your good-for-nothing husband. Not only did he come empty-handed but he also has the nerve to ask Grandma for money!”“You’re right! Charlie, we’re both the grandsons-in-law of the Wilson family but you’re such a disgrace!”The man who was talking was Gerald White, Wendy’s fiancé, who was also the son of the wealthy family in town.Although Gerald was about to marry Wendy, in his eyes, Claire was so much more beautiful and elegant than his fiancée.Claire Wilson was the famous goddess of beauty in Aurous Hill, but Gerald was very frustrated and irritated when such a beauty got married to a loser.“It’s best for this useless loser to get out of the Wilson family now!”“Yes! He is such a disgrace to our family!”“Perhaps his intention is not to borrow money but to spoil the joyful ambiance of Grandma’s birthday instead!”Charlie clenched his fists tightly as the entire Wilson family was humiliating and ridiculing him. If it wasn’t for the sake of the urgency, he would have left this annoying place.However, his father’s words echoed in his head. He had taught him to be grateful for the help he received and to return the favor tenfold. Hence, he suppressed the fury and humiliation slowly building within him and said to Lady Wilson, “Grandma, whoever saves one life saves the world entirely. Please, I beg for your mercy.”Someone in the room snorted loudly. “Mr. Wade, stop force-feeding chicken soup to Grandma. If you want to rescue someone, you can find a way on your own. Who do you think you are to ask for money from Grandma?”It was Wendy’s brother, Harold Wilson.The sinister brother and sister had always been prejudiced against Claire, who was superior to them in every aspect. Hence, they would always attack Charlie at any chance they could seize.Claire, who was wearing a slightly awkward expression on his face, started, “Grandma, Charlie’s father died when he was eight. It was Mrs. Lewis at the welfare home who had brought him up. He is utterly grateful of her graciousness and that is why he wants to return the favor so badly. Could you please help him…”Lady Wilson growled with an indignant face, “You want me to help him? Okay, divorce him now and marry Mr. Jones! If you do as I say, I’ll give him one million dollars right away!”The Mr. Jones that Lady Wilson was referring to was Wendell Jones, a man who was always pursuing Claire despite her married status. The Jones family was one of the prominent families in the upper social circle in Aurous Hill, which was much more powerful than the Wilson family. Lady Wilson had always wanted to get on their good side.At this moment, the butler sprinted in and said, “Mr. Jones sent a birthday gift to Lady Wilson! It is a Buddha talisman carved from the jadeite stone worth three million dollars!”Lady Wilson broke into a large smile and quickly blurted, “Bring it to me! Let me see!”The butler immediately presented the emerald green Buddha talisman which sent waves of exclamation across the living hall.The emerald talisman was crystal clear with its vibrant and sharp colors, without any trace of impurities. It was of the finest jade quality.Gerald, who had gifted the Buddha statue, gloomed in irritation instantly. He didn’t expect Wendell Jones, who had nothing to do with the Wilson family, to be so generous and lavish!Lady Wilson caressed the talisman cheerfully and said, “Oh, Mr. Jones is so sensible! It will be a sweet dream come true if he were my grandson-in-law!”Then, she lifted her gaze at Claire and asked, “So, how’s that? Do you want to consider my terms and conditions?”Claire shook her head decidedly. “No, Grandma. I will never divorce Charlie.”A dark stormy cloud instantly hovered beneath Lady Wilson’s eyes. She shouted angrily, “You ungrateful thing! What good is that loser? Why do you want to waste your time on him? Kick that loser out of my house! He is not allowed at my birthday banquet! I don’t want to see his face!”Charlie heaved a sigh of dismay and regret. He didn’t want to stay with the Wilson family anymore, so he said to Claire, “Claire, I’m going to the hospital to visit Mrs. Lewis.”Claire said quickly, “I’ll go with you.”Lady Wilson shouted again, “If you leave now, you’re no longer my granddaughter! You can take your mom, your dad, and that loser and get out of the Wilson family!”Claire stared at her grandmother, shocked. She did not expect to hear such a harsh comment from her.Charlie interjected, “You stay here, don’t worry about me.”Before Claire could compose herself from the trance, he turned and left.Harold laughed behind him. “Hey, my dear Charlie, if you leave with an empty stomach, will you go on the street and beg for food? If you do so, you’ll tarnish our family name! Here, I have a dollar, go buy a bun or something to eat!”Harold produced a one dollar from his pocket and threw it at Charlie’s foot.The entire family’s thunderous laughter echoed across the house.Charlie gritted his teeth in annoyance and left the house without looking back.***When Charlie arrived at the hospital, he immediately went to the cashier department to try to negotiate an extension of payment for another two days.However, when he approached the nurses, he was informed that overnight, Mrs. Lewis had been transferred to Fairview Hospital, Eastcliff’s top hospital, for treatment.Charlie gaped in shock and quickly asked, “How much does it cost? I’ll find a way to settle it!”The nurse said, “The bill is three million dollars in total. One million dollars has already been paid, the remaining two million needs to be settled without a week.”“Who covered the one million dollars?”The nurse shook his head. “I have no idea.”Charlie frowned in confusion. Just as he turned around to figure it out, a man of about fifty years of age in a black suit with gray hair was standing behind him.They exchanged glances, and the man bowed before him and said, “Young Master! We’ve finally found you! Sorry for all the troubles and misery you’ve suffered for all those years!”Charlie furrowed and asked coldly as if he was a completely different person. “Are you Stephen Thompson?”The man gaped in surprise. “Young Master, you still remember me!”Charlie startled slightly and murmured, “Of course I do! I remember each and every one of you! You forcibly drove my mom and dad out of Eastcliff along with me and fled the city. My parents died along the way and I became an orphan. What do you want from me now?”Stephen grimaced sorrowfully and said, “Young Master, Lord Wade was very sad when he learned about your father’s death. He never stopped looking for you. Come, let’s go home and meet him!”Charlie said coldly, “Just go, I don’t want to see him.”Stephen said, “Young Master, are you still mad at your grandfather?”“Of course!” Charlie said loudly. “I’ll never forgive him in my entire life!”Stephen sighed dejectedly. “Before I came here, the Master did say that you will not forgive him.”“Good! Luckily he still has some senses in him!”Stephen continued, “Lord Wade knows that you’ve had a hard life for so many years and he’s asking me to compensate you. If you don’t want to go home, he will buy the largest company in Aurous Hill and give it to you. Besides, here, take this card, the pin number is your birthday.”Stephen handed over the premium black card from Citibank.“Young Master, there are only five of such cards in the country.”Charlie shook his head sternly. “No, I don’t want it, take it away.”“Young Master, Mrs. Lewis is still two million dollars in debt for her medical bills. If she doesn’t pay up, she might be in danger…”“Are you threatening me? Is this part of your sinister plan?”Stephen waved his hands frantically. “Oh no! We wouldn’t dare do such a thing! Keep the card, then you’ll have enough money to pay the bill.”Charlie asked, “How much is in this card?”“Lord Wade said that he deposited some pocket money for you in this card. It’s not much, just ten billion dollars!”

The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6726
Even in the trained eyes of a veteran inspector like Merlin Lammy, the power of the AI module was mythical. Most of the time, detective work relied not on mere instinct or experience, but on the methods available in gathering and analysing information.For example, if the chase for a suspect began from a city, but said suspect had left the city and also fallen off the grid, trying to find them was basically akin to trying to find a needle in a haystack.Still, objectively speaking, the fact that there was a needle meant that it existed, and it was possible to find it—the only problem was, who could comb through every inch of the haystack?Now, AI provided that capacity—or the AI module they had right now, at the very least.It had been trained with public content on the internet, and theoretically speaking, had the capacity of identifying every person with a name and footage of them on the internet.Should it be provided with more data and time, it would definitely be able to cr

Nonetheless, Hank turned toward Harrison, clearly asking for approval.Having nothing to lose, he nodded. "Her Majesty has spoken.""Yes, Mr. Rothschild!" Hank pressed the speak button and relayed Helena's order to the AI.Seemingly referencing the previous task, it worked quicker this time, needing just two minutes to process each video before projecting the results in order on the screen.Hank asked for the main video like before, and suddenly, everyone found themselves watching another elderly Harrison shamble into the room. But what was more shocking was that the original Harrison still had his back against the camera as he bowed to the new Harrison and kissed his hand!That was when Helena said, "We can only see Mr. Rothschild's back from here. Can we look at the video from another angle so that we can see real and synthetic images at the same time?"Hank quickly conveyed this to the AI, which changed the focus to footage from another angle.And in the video, as the two eld

The loud whirring to dispel the heat lasted from another three minutes until the voice spoke again, "Task complete. Since Queen Helena entered the room, she had been captured from 37 different cameras, generating video images worth 367 minutes and 12 seconds."In total, that is 528,768 frames and 343,658 images completely processed. All thirty-six videos had also been sorted according to the length of Queen Helena's appearance in each video."As the voice finished, a 6x6 collage of security videos appeared on the screen, and the first top left video was the footage from the main camera.The voice then summarized the videos according to length, pointing out the one that featured her the longest, with no frame lost at all. Hank quickly said, "Play the first."The voice replied, "Acknowledged."The footage in question was fully magnified in an instant without further input.As everyone looked up at the screen, they saw that they were still there but not Helena, who was supposed to

Hank stood front and center, clicking enter as the speakers soon rang with a cool female voice, "System activated. Please enter the password for verification."Hank promptly did so, and soon, the voice added, "Biometric scan commencing. Please place your hands on the panel and look in the retinal scanner for verification."While Hank continued as instructed, he explained, "With the module being trained endlessly and with new data stores inserted continuously, the module will soon be grabbing content from the worldwide web 24/7. In fact, we've hooked it up to the internet, but for safety reasons, the clearance for operating the module is only available to a handful of personnel and under strict identification measures."The touch panel doesn't just identify palm prints and fingerprints—it also detects body temperature, heart rate, and blood oxygen levels. In short, only the living get to operate the module."Pointing at the LED beside the camera that rapidly blinked in different col

Helena then entered the data center without anyone from her royal entourage, only followed by twenty technicians dressed in blue cotton overalls, face masks, and rubber gloves.They had been transferred there from the States, though there were four who were just there to make up the numbers and had no technical experience, namely, Charlie, Vera, Kaeden, and Merlin.Helena was basically Charlie's proxy in the handover, as Charlie didn't want Harrison to find out that the Wades and the Ackers were in the same room. Since Merlin and Kaeden were both notable individuals in their own right, even in the States, especially Kaeden, who was basically the family's diplomat, whom even Harrison was acquainted with, they made sure to put their masks on before blending amongst the crew of technicians. Thankfully, Harrison's attention wasn't with the crew at all. It was a safety protocol at important data centers such as this one for the crew to wear insulating clothing. Gloves, safety helmets,

Vera's cheeks turned beet-red from just a single glass, and Helena got worried from watching that she was underage and couldn't stomach her alcohol.Still, she was soon relieved since Vera merely appeared to be flushed from the heat and not actually drunk.That was when Charlie asked Helena, "Could you perhaps get us a farm?""A farm?" Helena repeated in surprise. "Which kind? Crops or livestock?""Ideally both," Charlie replied. "It doesn't have to be huge, but the surroundings should be ideal, safe, and quiet."Helena nodded. "I'll ask someone to look around and send the details of anything which fits the bill."Charlie nodded. "If you do, please purchase it under the crown's budget.""Not a problem."-After they ate, Helena took them on a road trip across Oslo in the royal car they had ridden before.Meanwhile, Merlin Lammy and Kaeden Acker had arrived in Oslo by plane as well.As the Ackers now had a strategic partnership with the Oskian government, both Merlin and Kaed
