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?

    While Charlie was confused about what a man was doing competing in a woman's weight class, many others around him were already jeering.Nudging the man beside him, he said, "Hey, is there something I should know about that fighter?"The man, Bojo, shrugged. "Well, she claims to be a woman trapped in a man's body ever since she was a child. Even said she's taking anti-androgens and all that, all while taking part in various women's category matches. On top of that, she insisted that she's going to have gender-affirmation surgery later, too."Charlie nodded, a little stumped. "But technically speaking, she is physically a man?""Exactly!" Bojo huffed indignantly. "It's really a little too much, letting her take part in a sports event where physicality holds a defining advantage.""Well, in that case, how did she get the official panel's approval to compete?" Charlie asked, puzzled.Bojo sighed. "Because sporting committees these days are as corrupt as FIFA back in the day. Pay enou

    The next day, Charlie, Claire, and Loreen boarded their flight to Tokyo.During the flight, both women were excitedly talking about shopping at Ginza and the Omote-Sando Avenue. To be precise, Claire wasn't all that thrilled about going shopping, but Elaine had asked her specifically to get her some local jewelry, so Claire had no choice but to agree.She was always fair, so buying stuff for her mother meant the same for her father, too. So, she told Loreen that she had a budget of three hundred thousand for gifts for both parents. Loreen promptly volunteered to help, and so they planned to go shopping right after checking in their luggage at the hotel.Loreen then asked Charlie, "Are you joining us?""For the afternoon, sure," Charlie replied. "But there's an MMA match tonight I'd like to watch. We can go together if you ladies are interested, though I can still go alone if you're not… And in that case, I won't be joining for dinner.""MMA?" Loreen groaned. "Spare me. I can't s

    Charlie exclaimed in surprise, "You knew?"Nanako smiled at Charlie in turn. "Tanya is quite the influential artist and boasts legions of fans. Every concert she holds is always fully booked, and there are always fans who have to fly in from other countries."It's even alleged that each country where she holds concerts would see a fractional GDP growth, and my best friend in Tokyo invited me to her concert too. But I said no since I'd rather focus on my training."Pausing, she then asked, "But I thought you were never one for fads. May I presume that you're just going as a chaperone to your wife?"Charlie nodded, owning up to it right then. "Claire's best friend is a Tanya fan too, and her friend managed to get them tickets for the Tokyo Tour, so she invited all of us along."Nanako smiled. "Come to think of it, it's been a while since I've returned to Japan… I've never been away for so long, although it's not like I miss Tokyo. I do miss my old home in Kyoto, especially the snow.

    Nanako hadn't returned to Japan since moving to Aurous Hill with her father.Charlie had promised to view the seasons changing in Japan with her, but there was simply no keeping up with his plans, so Nanako ultimately decided to stay in Aurous Hill.Still, since he was going to Tokyo the next day, he decided to give Nanako a heads-up.Ever since Nanako had attained enlightenment, she spent most of her time at Champs Elys, where it was quiet and safe from disturbances during cultivation.After the villas had been reclaimed, Charlie had given her one, and she spent almost every day training, while occasionally coming down the hill to spend time with her father at Thomson First.Once Charlie left Ruby's place, he called Nanako and drove to her villa after learning that she was up there too.She was beside herself with joy to hear that he was coming and put on a pink kimono while waiting for him.It was cold on the hills, and the breeze brushing against her cheeks left them a little

    However, Ruby was open-minded about the prospect of death, and she didn't blame Charlie for giving up. She had every intention to remain in the Champ Elys Villa, living out her remaining days cultivating in seclusion. When the time came and Charlie still couldn't save her, she would just move on and find a quiet, beautiful meadow where she would wait for death.At some point, she did consider martyring herself against the Qing Eliminating Society—the ward inside her pineal gland, cast by Fleur, was primed to self-destruct. Though it made her a human time bomb, it also meant she had a useful weapon against the Qing Eliminating Society.But after calming down and strategizing with her knowledge of the Qing Eliminating Society, she knew she had no chance of ever meeting Fleur—all her fury and vengeance would amount to was a few dead Griffins, and possibly unimportant ones, at that.Ruby certainly wasn't interested in claiming the lives of such puppets, and she naturally gave up on th
