Chapter 14
Author: Lord Leaf
Jane was taken aback by such an extravagant appearance, wondering to herself if these guys were here for him.

She dismissed that thought very quickly!

Impossible! The poor loser wouldn’t know anyone so powerful.

Stephen got out from the third car and strode into Emerald Court. Jane quickly got up to greet him, but he ignored her completely and went straight to Charlie.

“Young Master, I’m here with the money.”

Then, Stephen gestured with his hand. The studly bodyguards walked into the store, placed the suitcase on the floor, and opened it.

It was full of cash to the brink!

Everyone gaped in extreme shock!

D*mn it!

The loser…oh no! What the guy had said was actually true!

Oh d*mn! Who was he!

Many people took their phones out, trying to take a picture or record a video. They wouldn’t want to miss such a shocking scene.

Stephen’s bodyguards immediately cleared the scene and pushed them out of the store. All they managed to snap was the back of Charlie’s head.

Charlie pointed to the cash and said to Jane, “You said that you’ve never seen so much cash before, didn’t you? Take a good look at it now.”

In a shocked daze, Jane mumbled with vigorous nodding, “Yes, I see it, I see it now…”

Charlie said to Stephen, “I want to see the manager of this store.”

Stephen nodded, took out his phone, searched through his contact list, and made the call.

As soon as his call was answered, he shouted, “B*stard, I am Stephen Thompson! I’m now at Emerald Court. I’ll give you one minute to get here now, or I’ll have someone burn down the store and then break your legs!”

Blood drained from Jane’s face, her eyes filled with horror when she looked at Stephen.

Who was this guy? Was he that powerful?

Her boss was a man of substance in Aurous Hill and he was also very well connected in the ‘organized’ group. Everyone treated him with great respect and honor! She couldn’t believe that there were people who dared to talk to him like that!

It had not even been a minute when a middle-age obese man came running from the office behind the store. He sprinted as soon as he saw Stephen and said, “Mr. Thompson, it’s such an honor to have you visit my shop. Why didn’t you let me know earlier, I could’ve come to greet you.”

Stephen hurled his hand across the man’s face, slapping him, and growled furiously, “You’re pretty cocky, aren’t you? Your staff even dared to mistreat our young master like this. Are you getting tired of breathing?”

Stephen knew that the young master had undergone a miserable life in the past decade, so he was extremely agitated when a lowly staff member treated him so poorly.

The chubby man was a little aggrieved when he was slapped hard on his face, but when he heard Stephen’s remark, he recoiled in shock.

Stephen Thompson’s young master? Oh goodness, if Stephen’s existence was already like a dragon in the mortal world, his young master would be the god from the sky then!

His body trembled in fear. He turned his head to look at Charlie, who stood next to Stephen. The young lad looked like an ordinary being, but he was Stephen Thompson’s young master!

The chubby man crawled to his knees and said, “Young…Young Master, I’m really sorry, please accept my apology.”

He then turned his furious gaze at his staff and shouted, “Which ignorant b*stard offended the young master? Show yourself!”

All the sales personnel shifted their glances at Jane instantly.

Jane wanted to retreat, but the chubby man jumped at her, grabbed her collar, and slapped her face while cursing, “You ignorant b*tch, how dare you offend our young master! You’re blind and stupid!”

Jane crouched on the floor after the slap and wailed, “Boss, I’m sorry. Yes, yes, I’m blind and stupid, please forgive me, please!”

“Forgive you?” The chubby man grabbed her hair, pulled her face up, and punched her in the face with his giant fist.

With one punch after another, blood started oozing from her face.

“D*mn it you b*tch! You want to drag me to hell, don’t you? Before you kill me, I’ll kill you first!”

Several teeth were knocked out of Jane’s mouth, the nose bridge that she had spent a fortune on plastic surgery for was broken, and her face was literally covered in blood.

She struggled and managed to break free from the chubby man. She crawled towards Charlie, grabbed his leg, and cried, “Young Master, I’m so sorry. I won’t do it again, I won’t judge people as I had done ever again. Please, please forgive me.”

Charlie glared at her coldly and uttered, “Serves you right!”

The chubby man gaped in shock when he saw her grabbing Charlie’s leg. He quickly ran over and stomped on her head, and shouted, “How dare you touch the young master’s leg! I’ll kill you!”

With the stomp, Jane fainted and became unconscious.

The man called for the guards at the door, “Throw this b*tch into the garbage dump in the back alley!”

“Okay, boss!” The guards immediately picked the bloody Jane up and took her out of the store.

Charlie looked blankly at the chubby man and said, “My wife likes this jade necklace. Wrap it up.”

The chubby man nodded vigorously and said, “Okay, I’ll do it right away!”

Charlie retrieved the black card and said, “Swipe this card.” Then, he turned to Stephen and said, “You can take back the cash now.”

The chubby man quickly interjected, “Young Master, since you like the jade necklace, just take it, it’s on the house!”

Charlie muttered, “I don’t need you to give it to me for free.”

The chubby man said timidly, “Young Master, please accept it as a token of gratitude from me!”

Stephen told Charlie, “Sir, since he wants to repent for his mistake with the gift, please accept it. Otherwise, I don’t think he’ll be able to sleep tonight.”

After hesitating for a moment, Charlie nodded gently. “Okay, thank you for the generous gift.”

The chubby man heaved a sigh of relief when Charlie accepted the necklace. If he didn’t, he was genuinely afraid that Stephen would not let him off the hook. With his influence and ability, making him disappear off the grid was as easy as flicking his fingers.

Then, Stephen asked, “Sir, do you need a lift?”

“No thanks,” Charlie shook his hand and said, “Where is your back door? I’ll go by myself.”

The onlookers felt as if they had entered a whole new world!

Several Rolls-Royce came to deliver thirteen million dollars in cash just to buy a piece of jade.

It turned out that the owner of the Emerald Court gave it to him for free!

Who was the man who looked rather unremarkable and ordinary? What was his background?

Many people posted the video of the incident on the Internet and it quickly became the hottest topic.

The netizens labeled the mysterious man as ‘the ultra-rich man’, ‘willful boss’, ‘mysterious elite’, and so on. There was even an activity called ‘search for the mysterious rich man’ that a lot of people were actively participating in.

Fortunately, when these people were shooting the video, they were pushed out of the store by the bodyguards, so Charlie’s image in their videos was very vague and blurry and it couldn’t be used as a reference for the manhunt.

    Kaeden's speech certainly showed the world Curtis Autos' ambitions, and the decision to use Curtis' name showed that the two families weren't just betting their reputation on this project, but also Curtis'.After that, Yolden and Matilda took the stage as well. As the CEO and the CLO respectively, they each spoke about their perspective and determination for the project.Matilda's presence alone proved Curtis Autos' determination—no other carmaker had ever appointed an elite veteran lawyer as their CLO off the bat. In fact, most wouldn't even worry about it since one never actually needed legal assistance… That was, until they paid through their nose for it.Like ecommerce, the automotive industry was a hotspot for commercial disputes, and one was always vulnerable to pitfalls without a formidable team of lawyers. It wasn't just a matter of intellectual property—even the names of car models could lead to trademarking and copyright disputes. It was like exporting a car model name, on

    After escorting the two patriarchs off the stage, Kaeden returned to the podium, brimming with confidence as he announced. "And now, there will be a PPT presentation as we unveil our forecasted figures for this project."First and foremost, as stated before, our initial investment is set at forty billion USD, which will be the lifeblood for this project."Within the year, we aim to construct a megaplant capable of producing at least 350,000 automotive units in twelve months. That number is projected to be doubled in two years, and following the second phase, which will also be two years long, it will further rise to 1.5 million units."The sheer scale of becoming a carmaker with a 1.5 million unit production capacity certainly left everyone awestruck, as such numbers were rare for any carmaker.It was absolutely unbelievable for a new brand to be this ambitious and reach such numbers, as the carmakers that could reach this level would have established their brand for decades.Howe

    Everyone was left awestruck simultaneously as the words 'Curtis Automotive' flashed on the screen, many of whom were reminded of a question that was asked many times back in the day.How far and how high would Curtis Wade's accomplishments continue?While most journalists working now wouldn't know that, the realization soon struck—Curtis was Jeremiah Wade's second son!So, this joint project was named in honor of the man who had left many years ago, though it was not surprising that the two families would suddenly choose to work together again after twenty years.After a brief pause, Kaeden sighed emotionally on the stage. "As most might have guessed, Curtis Automotives is named after Curtis Wade, my late brother-in-law. The brand shall inherit his will—an indomitable spirit which never backs down in adversity and always strives to improve to the next level."Both of our families are also ready to go all out to establish Curtis Autos as an international powerhouse. It is our ambit

    The Ackers and the Wades were investing over thirty times more money into their new car brand compared to Ricebolt! It was a power move through and through—forget Oskia, it was unlikely anyone could invest this much even if it was the automotive industry.The audience behind the screens was all gaping too, with Aurous Hill residents all whooping in excitement. After all, they were talking about a sudden injection of 300 billion Oskian dollars into the city. They could certainly expect everything to improve up to the next level, and each of them would more or less reap some benefits from this.Meanwhile, Kaeden continued on stage, "I'm sure everyone is aware that the Ackeriver Group has recently acquired Godot Autos, which had collapsed due to bankruptcy. That being said, we won't be trying to resuscitate the brand, as our two families have agreed to establish a new one."All of Godot Autos' human resources and hardware will now be assimilated under our new banner, while their name

    Hearing that the press conference was starting, Claire and Nellie stopped gossiping, while Charlie breathed a sigh of relief.It was truly in a journalist's nature to be a monger for gossip, what with all the news articles they published or read each day. And at the rate she had been spilling information, Nellie might even let slip something vital that might expose Charlie. That included his last name being Wade, and the day his parents were killed, which also happened to be the day he was sent to that orphanage. Fortunately, Claire wasn't one who obsessed over gossip, or she would have noticed the signs with just a little prying. In addition, Charlie's personal information had always been well protected. All the media knew was that Curtis Wade's son had gone missing, but they didn't know the boy's name, or Nellie would have started grilling him no matter how simple-minded she seemed.Nonetheless, the press conference soon began with Kaeden taking the stage as the emcee.

    Nellie smiled. "Well, you see, the rumors always had it that Curtis' family died here in Aurous Hill, and that the Ackers and the Wades chose this place for their joint project to memorialize them."Claire was even more shocked, "Wait, Ashley Acker died here, in Aurous Hill? I've read all the articles about her, and people are still talking about her accomplishments stateside, but I never heard about that!"Nellie shrugged. "It makes sense if you have never heard of it. There's basically been a media blackout since what happened to Curtis' family, and it's not just Ashley. Curtis was famous in his own right and accomplished a lot individually as well.""Fair enough, but I don't think I've heard of him," Claire replied, frowning. "I did hear about Ashley because she made a name for herself in Silicon Valley, where she invested in many networking giants when they were just startups."Nellie nodded. "Well, Curtis is less famous, but what he accomplished was nothing short of genius. I
