Chapter 16
Author: Lord Leaf
Sabrina crossed her arms in front of her chest and said in a pompous tone, “Yeah, I despise you, so what? Can’t you bear some criticism now, you loser?”

“Everyone in college knows that you married Claire and became their live-in son-in-law after graduation! A miserable loser who couldn’t even afford a decent meal in college and a toyboy after graduation! How dare you come looking for my help being such a big loser as you are? Who do you think you are?”

A rage of fury was slowly burning inside Charlie.

One would not attack unless attacked first. Sabrina was going too far this time!

Right at this moment, he received a text message from Stephen. “Young Master, the Wade family owns Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts. The Shangri-La of Aurous Hill is just one of our many Shangri-Las throughout the world.”

Charlie’s pupil shrank in astonishment!

Did he just say that the Wade family owned Shangri-Las?

He responded reflexively, “You’re not bluffing, are you?”

“Of course not. The person in charge of Aurous Hill’s Shangri-La is Isaac Cameron, his number is 155…, please give him a call and he will settle everything for you.”

“Okay.”

Sabrina was a little agitated by Charlie’s attitude, staring at his phone and texting while she was mocking him.

She felt like she was abusing a dog and of course, she wanted to hear the dog yelp.

Unexpectedly, Charlie didn’t say anything.

It proved that in his case, time did not change anything. He was a loser since college, and he was the same loser now who didn’t even budge after being insulted.

Hence, she increased the cockiness in her tone and sneered, “Hey, Mr. Class Rep, you’re pretty good at putting up with insults!”

“Oh yes, by the way, I heard that you and Claire have not slept together after being married for three years. Is Claire actually someone else’s mistress and you’re nothing but a smokescreen for her affairs? Hahaha!”

Charlie frowned indignantly.

‘Not only did you insult me, but you also insulted my wife. Sabrina Lee, you’re digging your own grave!’

Enraged, he called Isaac Cameron’s number. He stared at Sabrina and said flatly while waiting for the call to be answered, “I’m going to ask your person in charge about how Shangri-La recruits employees, for even people with a foul mouth like you can work here!”

“What? How dare you taunt me? You really need a beating!” Sabrina growled furiously and shouted to the guards beside her, “He’s here looking for trouble, beat him!”

At this moment, his call was answered.

“Hello, who is it?”

A charismatic male voice came from the other end of the line.

Charlie said coldly, “Are you Isaac Cameron? I am Charlie Wade, I’m now at the entrance of Shangri-La. I’ll give you a minute to get the h*ll here or you can just get out of Shangri-La!”

Upon hearing it, the man who was originally full of charisma immediately panicked and stuttered, “Young…Young Master? Are you really at the Shangri-La now?”

“Fifty seconds!”

The man yelped over the phone and blurted frantically, “Please wait a moment, I’ll be there right away!”

Sabrina smirked as she listened to Charlie’s phone conversation and mocked sarcastically, “Hey, Charlie, I didn’t know that you’re so good at blowing your own horn! Do you know who Mr. Cameron is? Even the most prestigious members of Shangri-La dare not to be so pompous in front of Mr. Cameron! Do you really think you can fool me by pretending to make a call?”

Charlie glared at him and said faintly, “You’ll know in thirty seconds if I’m fooling you!”

Sabrina laughed contemptuously. “Okay, our beloved class rep! I’ll wait for thirty seconds! Oh no, let’s make it three minutes. If Mr. Cameron doesn’t show himself in three minutes, I’ll let the guards tear your bluffing mouth off your face, you lying little prick! Hahaha! This is so funny!”

Twenty seconds later, a middle-aged man in a top-of-the-line bespoke suit ran towards them in a panic.

He was a dog who worked for the Wade family. He was also a very powerful dog.

Ever since he had been appointed as the general manager of the Shangri-La in Aurous Hill, he became one of the most respectable icons in the city. When was the last time he was ever so panicked and anxious?

However, his panic was understandable. He had never imagined that the young master of the Wade family would appear at Shangri-La, which was under his management…

Sabrina intended to continue insulting Charlie when she suddenly saw the guards looking pale and horrified as they glanced behind her.

She followed their stunned gazes and turned around when she saw Mr. Cameron emerge. Her eyes opened widely as if she had been struck by lightning.

Then, she turned back at Charlie, her eyes full of horror. “This… how… how is it possible…”

“Who is Mr. Charlie Wade?”

Isaac’s voice was trembling in fear and disbelief.

Everyone stared at him in bewilderment, stunned. The man who could easily shake Aurous Hill by simply stomping his feet had become so terrified and frightened that even his voice changed!

Charlie said loudly, “I am!”

Isaac quickly rushed towards him and bowed. “Young…”

Charlie interjected immediately, “Mr. Cameron, some things are not suitable to be said out loud in public.”

Isaac was shaking with jitters upon the statement.

‘Oh, my goodness! I’m such a stupid dog! Young Master’s identity must be highly confidential, yet I almost called him out! If I offend Young Master, it will be the end for me!’

Thus, he hurriedly changed the address but still spoke in a respectful tone, “Mr. Wade, welcome to Shangri-La. Please follow me to my office for further discussion.”

Sabrina was utterly stunned. She could not accept the fact but it had unfolded right in front of her eyes.

Who was Charlie Wade really? What was his real background? How could he make the big boss of Shangri-La bow before him like a lowly peasant?

He wouldn’t bear a grudge against her for her mockery, right?

    Arlo grunted noncommittally before hanging up.While Penny was left staring at the phone and biting her lip in silence, Charlie suddenly said, "Your governor is telling you to return and await further orders… That means he's not leaving his post anytime soon."Penny began tentatively, "Well, he's busy…""Busy, my ass," Charlie snorted in disdain. "He's just playing chaperone to the Three Elders in Nigeria."Penny exclaimed in surprise, "H-How did you know?!"Charlie shrugged nonchalantly. "I just know, and that it's Fleur's plan to have the Three Elders ambush me in Nigeria. Though I'm sure she never expected me to come here instead of going to Nigeria."Penny couldn't help thinking highly of Charlie's abilities.Even Penny herself didn't have the clearance to that information, and Arlo was breaking a rule telling her about it.Naturally, she was also aware that Arlo was giving her special treatment to get in her good graces. She had certainly been keen to return the favor so t

    It was a rule for any collateral branch individuals not to return to their families. In the end, the Qing Eliminating Society was basically ancient nobles—anyone not bearing the Griffin name would be made to serve, and they naturally had neither freedom nor holidays.And when they became a part of the family and learned even a single family secret, they wouldn't be allowed to leave.Still, giving Penny a vacation was as much a special treatment as a risk. If she caused any trouble while at home or affected the Qing Eliminating Society negatively, Arlo would be held responsible.Despite her outstanding talent, she was still just a young girl in her twenties. After being away from her family for two years, it was only natural that she might be homesick, but she wouldn't even dream of returning home.Indeed, Penny would have been overjoyed before, but she was now endlessly miserable and certainly not thrilled.She was never getting away from Charlie's clutches, and there was no tel

    The mining machinery was working in full capacity, while trucks loaded with hundreds of tons of raw phosphate were moving back and forth across the mines and the refinery, kicking up a cloud of white dust across the barren lands of the mines.Even Charlie couldn't help feeling a tinge of sadness watching the trucks that were as tall as three-floor buildings. If he had had them in Syria to help with construction and logistics at Ten Thousand Armies' base, they might have been twice as effective, even moving mountains.Still, he could only make a mental note to buy a few since each of those trucks was going to be torched, and he was not taking anything away.Beside him, Penny looked like she had lost all her will to live.She wasn't just afraid to flee from Charlie, just as she hated the idea of leaving with him.If the Qing Eliminating Society presumed that she had turned, that she had been abducted or murdered, her family would lose their greatest hope and wouldn't have another ch

    That was why Arlo had really taken good care of Penny over the last two years, appointing her as praetor and training her however he could, while also affording her family special treatment.In fact, Arlo had even decided to arrange a marriage between Penny's half-sister, who was three years younger than Penny herself, to his youngest son, further binding the Singers to the Griffins.Furthermore, he had made clear to his own branch family that they must all treat any Singer wife with respect and not take a mistress while being married—a privilege afforded to the Griffins until now. Before this, if a Griffin was dissatisfied with their wife, they could just take a mistress from the collateral families after three years while still having one wife. Higher-ranked Griffins may even take two mistresses, while Arlo, a governor, was afforded three mistresses at once. After all, if the number of Griffins increased without control, even the collateral families would have trouble keeping t

    Meanwhile, in Nigeria, thousands of miles away from Duca Mines, Arlo Griffin was standing on a tower without anyone in sight, aside from his consul Callum Biffle.At the moment, the Right Military Governor was grumbling, "How long do we have to wait? We don't even have the faintest clue when that prick is coming. What if they have sensed a trap? Doesn't that mean he will never show up?"Callum then told him under his breath, "Well, we can't exactly be half-hearted when the Three Elders are here in our jurisdiction. I mean, they're mostly staying in seclusion for cultivation and don't need us serving their beck and call, but top officials like us goofing off here? We definitely could achieve more elsewhere."The Transition is supposed to start in two days, but Kansair Mile's garrison is exempt, anyway. Talk about serving no purpose at all… if anything, we should be asking Her Lordship for permission to return to Naples."Arlo was silent for a beat, but he soon sighed. "Look, I'd lik

    Ten Thousand Armies were many, and half of them were Oskians, while the others were a mix of other nationalities.With such diversity, assimilating a few locals was really no trouble.Charlie then asked, "How are things over at the fishing port? Will it draw attention?""Nope," Merlin smiled, shaking his head. "Management is in tatters, what with thousands of fishing boats of various sizes coming in and out of the port every day. Most of the residents in the area are fishermen, and the cultures are diverse. There are cliques here and there, but there's no major organization, and since most are locals, we won't draw much attention."The coast guard here is also pretty lax. They only check for contraband, and we won't have any problems if we don't smuggle anything illegal. We could even buy some catch from Algeria and pretend it's ours, and no one will be any wiser.""Good," Charlie replied. "The shipping lanes down the Strait of Gibraltar are always busy, so even if they manage to
