Chapter 10
Author: Lord Leaf
Everyone was stunned upon the sudden roar.

Everyone hurriedly took out their phones and searched for Emgrand Group’s official social media account!

Indeed!

The certified official account of Emgrand Group had posted the latest statement!

A shock wave swept the conference room as the post was announced!

Claire really did strike the deal! With twice the intended total value!

It only took half an hour!

How was it possible? How was it so easy?

It didn’t make any sense!

Harold was feeling shocked and regretted!

Before today, Claire Wilson was incomparable to himself in terms of status or identity.

If he had accepted the task yesterday, he would not give Claire a chance to shine herself regardless of the results!

Yet, he refused because he feared that he would fail!

He refused the mission, but the crucial point was that Claire had succeeded!

It was like a loud slap to his face!

Instantly, Lady Wilson picked up the contract excitedly and started reading it. Then, she let out a loud laugh. “Good! Good! Very good! Claire, you’ve done an excellent job!”

After that, she asked, “How did you do it?”

Claire answered, “It is all thanks to Miss Doris Young. She thinks highly of us, the Wilson family.”

Claire wanted to be truthful, but after a second thought, she didn’t even know who the chairman of Emgrand Group was. No one would believe her if she said the truth.

Upon hearing this, Harold felt as if his heart had been stabbed a million times and he wanted to die!

It was no wonder Claire could win the contract!

It turned out that Doris Young of Emgrand Group herself thought highly of the Wilson family!

Did it mean that it wouldn’t have mattered who had gone, after all?

He berated himself for missing such a great opportunity!

At this moment, Charlie spoke, “Harold, do you still remember our bet?”

In an instant, Harold’s face twisted in a disdainful grimace.

How could he forget about the bet? Whoever lost the bet must grovel at the other party’s feet.

Claire had won the contract, so it was obvious that he had lost…

‘No! No way! How can I grovel at that loser’s feet! Over my dead body!’

He gritted his teeth and sneered. “Charlie Wade, who the h*ll do you think you are? You are just a useless toyboy who married into our family! Do you expect me to bow before you?”

Charlie said flatly, “Yes, indeed, I’m a useless toyboy, but remember, we took an oath yesterday. Whoever breaks their promise would have his mother, father, grandpa, and grandma die!”

Again, he deliberately emphasized the word ‘grandma’.

Sure enough, a layer of black covered Lady Wilson’s face!

She glared at Harold and asked coldly, “What about it? Do you really want me to die?”

Harold panicked and blurted, “Grandma, don’t fall for his trick! He just wants to humiliate me and to deride you!”

Charlie said calmly, “Harold, don’t you try to fool Grandma now. Don’t forget that you’ve made a vow. If you go against it, you’ll be condemned. Do you want to curse Grandma?”

“Grandma, we were just joking, you can’t take it seriously!”

Lady Wilson wore an inexpressive look on her face and said, “You know that I’m a devoted Buddhist. How dare you break the promise after swearing to God?!”

“Grandma…”

Harold genuinely panicked now, because it was clear that his grandma was really angry!

Seeing Harold’s reluctance in keeping his promise that involved herself to save his face, Lady Wilson slapped the table fiercely and yelled, “Are you determined to break your oath now?”

“Grandma, I…” Harold stuttered hesitantly. In his mind, he made a quick deduction.

If he abided by the betting rule and admitted his defeat to Charlie, he would lose face.

But if he went against the bet and enraged his grandma, he would lose everything he had in the Wilson family! He would lose more than his face!

No matter how reluctant he was, he gritted his teeth and muttered, “Alright! I’ll keep my promise!”

Charlie glanced at him quietly with a smile, waiting for him to come and kneel before him.

Harold felt as if his legs were filled with lead. He strode slowly and with difficulty as he moved towards Charlie.

He was so agitated that his whole body was shivering, clenching his teeth annoyingly. But then, his legs went jelly and he knelt on the ground.

Thump!

Some of the busybody onlookers even quietly retrieved their phones and aimed it at them.

Harold bowed his head and said with a loud yet trembling voice, “I’m sorry!”

Then, he leaned over and knocked his head against the floor.

Charlie uttered, “What did you say? I can’t hear you, speak louder and clearer.”

Enduring the humiliation, Harold bowed his head again and shouted, “I’m sorry!”

Charlie sneered, “Oh, you’re sorry. What are you sorry for?”

Inside Harold, he wanted to kill and shred Charlie into a million pieces, but there was still one last bow.

Thus, he bit his lips and said, “I shouldn’t have doubted Claire’s ability…”

Another bow to the floor!

Charlie felt a dash of spring breeze surging through his body!

He had been holding a grudge against Harold for a long time. Now that he had the opportunity to make Harold kneel on the floor like a dog and admit his mistakes, he felt so refreshed and excited!

Claire’s eyes widened in astonishment as she watched the entire event unfolding, suddenly feeling that her husband was different from before!

However, she couldn’t really tell what the difference was.

When she recalled the confident look on Charlie’s face when he had made the bet with Harold yesterday, she couldn’t help but wonder if he had already known that she would succeed.

Where and why did he have such strong confidence all of a sudden?

    Charlie said, "Tell Fleur that the day will come when I will kill her with my own hands right before making a 1:1 statue of her prostrated before Elijah's grave, just so she can atone!"Despite his shock, Arlo realized right then that Fleur's mysterious foe must be connected to Vera Lavor, whom Fleur had been hunting for so long.In that case, it was not surprising that the man had kept hurting the Qing Eliminating Society however he could.Still, he quickly nodded. "Yes, Sir! Don't worry, I'll definitely pass on your message!"Charlie smiled as Arlo agreed to his request so easily.In reality, he had mentioned Elijah just to confuse Fleur, as it was not yet time to expose himself.While he had indeed revealed himself before Arlo, he was actually disguised with a face mask—Arlo wouldn't find anything even if he tried."You must be very happy to regain a lost hand, right?""I won't lie, Sir!" Arlo nodded, barely containing his joy. "I am overjoyed!"Charlie nodded, but his lips

    Although the palm was miserably small, he could feel the nerves reattaching and tried to move his fingers.He was naturally thrilled to see that he could move those little fingers at will, and he exclaimed before he knew it, "Sir… Your pill… It's a miracle! My entire left hand, which was dismembered, truly grew back! It's unbelievable!"Charlie smiled and nodded as he asked, "Isn't there something you should do now that I've given you something so valuable?"Arlo quickly said, "Yes! Sir, you just need to ask, and I will make it come true as long as it's within my power!"He had made up his mind.If Fleur's mysterious foe was willing to give him such a precious pill, that meant he wouldn't kill him.In fact, offering the pill was most definitely to persuade him to switch sides to become his spy or just whisk him away like he had done with the armed cavalry guards to serve at his beck and call.If he asked Arlo to be a spy, Arlo just had to pretend to agree.If he was going to ta

    Even now, Arlo still wondered if the man before him had actually given him the legendary Regeneration Pill. Just the name alone demonstrated how valuable it was—even a father would sell his own son for it.And yet, Fleur's mysterious foe, who had proven to be the Qing Eliminating Society's greatest threat in centuries, was claiming to have given him one.Even so, once he took the pill, he promptly felt the stump that had been his left wrist suddenly become hot and itchy, and at it immediately felt terrible.Naturally, Charlie wasn't about to show any bedside manners with Arlo like he had done with Merlin or Ito Yahiko. He had made them stay in a tub full of mud before taking the pill so that they wouldn't feel uncomfortable, but he certainly wouldn't afford Arlo such privilege and let him suffer the entire ordeal.Soon, the stump felt like it was being bitten by over thousands of ants—bloating, hurting, and itching all at the same time.Still, amidst the excruciating pain, he su

    Charlie chuckled. "Well, I just came to witness your glorious stature in person, so imagine my surprise that you're now disabled. Must be hard, losing a left hand?"Arlo remained apprehensive, but he feigned composure as he snapped, "Just get on with it. Quit running in circles."Charlie nodded and sat opposite him, smiling, "Alright, I'll be frank. I come offering a boon."Taking out a Regeneration Pill, he then continued. "Look here: this is a Regeneration Pill, and it remolds your body as the name suggests. Forget losing a hand—they could dismember all your limbs, and you'd still grow them back."Arlo's eyes widened at the sight of the pill.Just a moment ago, he had been thinking that the only option for him to be whole again was to get one, and there was no other option.He used to be pessimistic about it since the Regeneration Pill would cost a king's ransom, and besides, how could he ever afford one?"Smiling wryly at Charlie, he said, "Sir, please stop teasing me. The Re

    The first few days following the amputation had been the worst. A person who used to have all limbs intact suddenly had to live without one, so the psychological blow would be monumental.The same went for Arlo. For men like him, the phase up to acceptance of their own disability was grueling, and they almost always fell into a period of slump..Arlo had always been a proud man, too, and having become the governor of the Right Military Governor's Office, he was a man driven with great ambition. That he had suddenly become disabled was like having a bucket of cold water splashed right in his face.But even as he was left fuming and moping, there was a knock on the door.Arlo checked the time and realized that Callum had been gone for over an hour. Presuming that his consul had returned from his task, he quickly said, "Come in. The door's not locked."As the door was gently opened from the outside, he asked, "Did you buy it? Let me try it out."To be honest, he wasn't holding o

  • Chapter 6898

    Losing the Moroccan garrison was already a criminal dereliction of duty, and Penny's disappearance only made things worse.Even if Fleur had only demanded that the Three Elders cut off his left hand, Arlo feared it was just the start. If Lady Griffin still felt any lingering grievances, she would just eventually take his head when this crisis is over.That was why he had volunteered to go to Morocco—to demonstrate his willingness to serve Lady Griffin by going to the most dangerous place. By doing so, he could somewhat demonstrate his loyalty to the Lord and at least restore some impression of himself.He was more or less risking his own neck, but he would rather do something than wait for the inevitable in Nigeria. Death at the hands of the enemy would certainly be preferable to execution, anyway, as he would further prove his loyalty to the Qing Eliminating Society and Lady Griffin, who would decree that his successor take good care of his family. He really couldn't say the
