The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 5640
He heard a deafening sound as a tremendous force suddenly collided with his arms. The sensation was as if a heavily loaded train was rushing toward him at an incredibly fast speed. The Reiki that Mr. Chardon had gathered in his arms was instantly dispersed by this immense force! His arms also experienced a sharp pain, and he felt as if they were broken.However, that was not the end of it. The massive impact caused Mr. Chardon’s body to be pushed back dozens of meters before he could barely stabilize himself.Mr. Chardon, who had just managed to stand firm, immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. He had lost almost all sensation in his two arms, and his entire chest felt as if it had been shattered as he suffered significant internal injuries.However, Mr. Chardon could not anticipate that while he had just managed to steady himself, Charlie would rapidly approach him at an alarming speed!Amidst his astonishment, Mr. Chardon was about to resist with all his might when he sudde

Mr. Chardon roared, "Thunder, come!" with a powerful and majestic momentum.According to the scene Mr. Chardon had envisioned in his mind, after his thunderous shout, the sky should be covered with dark clouds and rolling with muffled thunder. Following that, a lightning bolt as thick as a water bucket would descend from the sky, striking Charlie’s head directly. He firmly believed that even if this lightning bolt could not hit Charlie directly, it would render him completely powerless to resist. By then, Mr. Chardon would have ten thousand ways to torture him and force him to reveal all his secrets.However, after Mr. Chardon shouted ‘Thunder, come!’, no dark clouds appeared in the sky like last time, nor were there any roaring thunder or lightning.The night sky in Aurous Hill tonight was exceptionally clear, and coupled with minimal light pollution in the mountainous area, one could look up and see a crescent moon and a sky full of stars.When Mr. Chardon saw that there were n

Mr. Chardon saw the Thunder Order in Charlie’s hand and immediately recognized it as a treasure made of Thunderstrike wood. Although he did not know how to craft magical instruments, he was familiar with the quality of raw materials. The Thunderstrike wood in Charlie’s hand had a long history and was unmistakably a top-grade Thunderstrike wood, at first glance.He had a shocked expression as he blurted out, “What… What is going on? Where did you get that magical instrument?!” Charlie sneered and said, “To be honest with you, I was the one who crafted both of these Thunderstrike woods. It’s just that mine is the father, and yours is the son. Although the son is usually arrogant, he has to behave when he meets the father, so it will naturally become silent!”Mr. Chardon was furious and yelled, “Damn you! Do you think an old man such as myself is not educated at all? Do you think I'll believe in such nonsense?!”Charlie said with a smile, “You don’t believe me? I'll demonstrate it fo

Moreover, Mr. Chardon knew that the only magical technique he could cast remotely was the blade from the British Lord’s wooden sword. In contrast, Charlie’s techniques included an invisible blade similar to his and heavenly thunder descending directly from the sky. Mr. Chardon’s wooden sword could not harm Charlie, and he had nowhere to hide from the heavenly thunder. Therefore, if this continued, he would undoubtedly be worn down by Charlie. The only solution was for him to engage in close combat with him!With this in mind, Mr. Chardon clenched his teeth and yelled coldly, “Young lad, either you die, or I perish today!” After saying this, he infused Reiki into his legs and unleashed the technique of teleportation that the British Lord had taught him as he rushed toward Charlie at an eerie speed, which resembled a space jump. The greatest advantage of this technique was its elusive trajectory, making it difficult for the opponent to harm him and simultaneously shortening the di

Only two very close explosions were heard, and those two sword edges were unexpectedly smashed into dust by Charlie’s fists! Mr. Chardon, who only had a pair of red underwear covering his entire body, had just run about ten feet away. Initially, he had been using his sword to frantically escape without looking back in order to save his life. However, after hearing two explosions, a sudden burst of excitement flashed in his heart!These two explosions were noticeably different from the earlier ones when the sword edges had collided with the soul-piercing blades. These two explosions sounded more like the result of the sword hitting the target's body!“Could it be… Could it be that Charlie didn't manage to evade my sneak attack?!” Mr. Chardon suddenly felt overjoyed at this thought. He instinctively turned around, wanting to see if Charlie had been injured by his two swords. If so, he could capitalize on the advantage and perhaps take Charlie's head! However, at that moment, to h

At this moment, Ruby, who was hidden in the shadows, was completely stunned! She didn't expect that the formidable man in black before her was actually Curtis’s son from back then!Meanwhile, Charlie was unaware that there was still a concealed cultivator with a hidden presence ten feet away in the shadows. His attention was solely on Mr. Chardon, who was in front of him. Despite witnessing Mr. Chardon’s pathetic and fearful appearance, Charlie felt no sympathy for him.He looked at Mr. Chardon and shouted again, “Thunder, come!”A thunderous explosion echoed as another lightning bolt descended from the sky! This time, the thunder struck Mr. Chardon’s right hand directly, turning it into black charcoal!In the previous few lightning strikes, Charlie had deliberately controlled the power in order to toy with Mr. Chardon. However, this time, Charlie intentionally increased the power, directly disabling Mr. Chardon’s right hand.Mr. Chardon felt an intense burning pain in his hand. W

However, human greed never followed such rules. In reality, the younger someone was, the less they feared death. Many young people who were around fifteen or sixteen dared to face death in confrontation with others. On the contrary, as people grew older, they often became more afraid of death. Even someone like Mr. Chardon, who was a cultivator, was not exempt from this commonality. In fact, he was more afraid of death than most people.When Mr. Chardon saw that Charlie was not showing him any mercy at all, he cried and said, “Charlie, back then, I was also acting under orders. The British Lord gave me an order I couldn't refuse! If you want to avenge your parents, you should go after the British Lord and not a lowly pawn such as myself…”Charlie sarcastically remarked, “Oh? You’re selling your boss out for your own gain now? Well, if you honestly reveal everything about the Qing Eliminating Society, I might give you a quick death so that you won’t suffer such a horrible death!”M

The pineal gland was considered the dwelling place of the Nine True Paths in cultivation. Some say it corresponded to the pineal gland in human anatomy, capable of secreting various hormones with subtle and mystical effects on the body. However, with age, its functions gradually deteriorate and would become almost ornamental.For cultivators, activating the pineal gland signified unlocking a whole new world. Activating the pineal gland involved using Reiki to unlock the pineal gland located at the center of the brain.The pineal gland was also known as the upper elixir field. Generally speaking, it was easy to activate the lower elixir field, and it was not difficult to open up all eight meridians. However, only extremely skilled cultivators could activate their upper elixir field. For cultivators, this spot was the supreme realm of the Nine True Paths, where human consciousness originated. If one could activate the pineal gland and cultivate in the right manner, one would not only

Pausing, Charlie then said, "I'll call Steve to drop by later too. I'm sure folks in Aurous Hill won't know him, but your potential troublemaker might.""I-Is that really fine?" Yolden blurted."What's not fine about it?" Charlie chuckled. "He has been treated like a tool ever since he came to Aurous Hill, and now that he has a chance to strut about, he wouldn't ask for more."Yolden appeared slightly relieved at that, and Charlie asked, "By the way, where's Paul, Matilda, and Autumn?""Getting their makeup done," Yolden replied. "Paul's my best man while Autumn's the maid of honor.""Good," Charlie nodded with a grin. "Don't worry—the wedding's going to be a success."As they spoke, Matilda stepped out of the dressing room in a stark-white wedding dress, flanked by Autumn and Paul.Seeing Charlie, Autumn nodded politely, "Good morning, Mr. Wade."As Charlie nodded in turn, Paul started, "G-Good morning… Mr. Wade…"Seeing that he was nervous and tentative, Charlie knew that he

As Yolden and Matilda were remarrying after living abroad for years, the wedding ceremony was much simpler, skipping Oskian customs and having a simple wedding reception for their guests at the hotel hall.There weren't that many guests either—aside from their children and close friends, only a handful of Yolden's colleagues at Aurous Hill University were invited.As the celebrant, Charlie didn't have much to do and was mainly the emcee.He brought along his jacket as he headed out to Shangri-La, not wearing it immediately so that Claire wouldn't guess that he was attending Matilda's wedding.Arriving at the Hanging Gardens before the guests were supposed to arrive, he found Yolden working with the staff to finalize the preparations.Seeing Charlie, Yolden approached him and said, "Thanks for coming this early, Charlie."Noticing that he was a little tired, Charlie asked in concern, "Had a bad night?"Yolden nodded, sighing, "Paul's uncle caused a huge mess. Both Matilda and I a

Tarlon nodded. "How do you suggest we find them?"Fleur scowled. "There's no rush. There are things which I'm still confused about, so just keep a close eye on the Ackers and the Wades for the time being. Report to me right away if anything important comes up—don't afford our enemies any opportunities to exploit.""Yes, milady!" -The next day, more news outlets were covering the joint project between the Ackers and the Wades as word continued to spread.However, neither family revealed too many details, be it the name of the company, who was the CEO, or the scale of their business.While the public was dying with curiosity, nothing else was known.Still, Aurous Hill's officials were especially interested, with the town hall visiting the Ackers the next day and showing utmost sincerity by leasing a whopping 2-million-square-meter land along the southern highway. Still, the condition was for the Ackers to come true on their promise to propel the city's economy to 15 billion US d

Fleur had repeatedly mentioned the conspiracy theory of Ashley using a body double over the last twenty years.Tarlon had investigated from many different angles, but everything from the gender, age, dental records, to body figure pointed to the fact that the deceased was Ashley Acker.And yet, Fleur had never bought it, insisting that Curtis was prepared for them just because Curtis' son had gone missing soon after.There was no way Curtis would save his son but not his wife, and the disfigured corpse only added fuel to Fleur's suspicion.Thus, over the last twenty years, Fleur had kept a close eye on the Ackers, arranging for two 'scholars' to be embedded amongst their ranks as sleeper agents. She went that far all to determine if Ashley was dead or had faked her death.However, the scholars had since been killed in action, and they had no spies within the Ackers left.As for Tarlon, he still doubted Fleur's theory even now, but he remained respectful as he spoke, "Milady, I mu

Meanwhile, on the edge of the South Pole, Tarlon Griffin rushed outside of Fleur Griffin's room, knocking the door gingerly as he announced, "I have news, my lady!"Fleur didn't respond, but the thick wooden door between them slowly opened as if pushed by an invisible force.Tarlon entered to find Fleur seated on the floor with her legs crossed at the ankles. Her eyes remained closed as she molded her Reiki, asking, "What is it?"Tarlon quickly answered, "News from Oskia. The Ackers are partnering with the Wades on a joint venture into electric-powered vehicles."Fleur slowly opened her eyes, asking quietly, "And you're telling me because?"Tarlon quickly explained, "It just came out of the blue, so I thought I should report it to you right away."Fleur sighed. "After I tried and failed to wipe out the Ackers so many times, they wouldn't dare set foot stateside. If anything, they must have decided to seek asylum in Oskia by offering a substantial investment, and it's a base whe

Silent for a while, Matilda then asked Yolden, "Do you think I can do it?""Yes!" Yolden nodded without hesitation. "You definitely won't have any problems!"Matilda sighed, shaking her head. "We traveled far abroad to study while we were young, but we didn't return to Oskia to help the country's development. It's been thirty years since, and now that we have returned to the country at the same time, I definitely wouldn't turn down such an opportunity to help."Pausing, she then said, "That said, major corporations make it a point to not hire family members. Forget spouses—employees aren't allowed to date, and one of the two will be asked to resign if necessary."Don't you think it's inappropriate since we are legally married, having gotten our certificate and all? And if we set these precedents, we would have trouble asking other employees to follow that policy. You are going to be a CEO, so you need a very clear answer on this issue."Yolden shrugged. "In the first place, that p

Yolden nodded slightly. "He does.""My gosh…" Matilda murmured. "That's too much… Ashley's son? A member of the Acker family and the Wades?!"Pausing, she then asked in confusion, "Wait, if Charlie has so much power and influence, why would he permanently reside in Aurous Hill… No, why would he be content as Jacob Wilson's son-in-law? Does Jacob know who he really is?""Definitely not," Yolden shook his head. "There were some compelling circumstances, and his identity is a sensitive one. That's why I'm asking you to tell no one except Paul—and even then, you should only tell him if he can keep the secret."Matilda was sharp enough to pick up on the reasoning, too. "Charlie's hiding because of his parents' accident, isn't he?""Yes," Yolden sighed. "He has his plans, but I didn't pry since I can only do that much, let alone help him on that.""Got it," Matilda nodded repeatedly. "Don't worry. My lips are sealed… And you just said you're resigning? Are you going to help with this e

"That would be Ashley Layna Acker," Matilda replied without hesitation. "She was our age, as well as a major investor in Silicon Valley, while we were only starting to get our first clients. It's no exaggeration to say that she's the shining example in many case studies when it comes to business."Pausing, she then continued, "And she used to be your classmate, right? I remember you mentioning that in our conversations before.""Yes," Yolden sighed emotionally. "She was a classmate and the star of our generation."Matilda nodded but soon shook her head, "Wait, weren't we talking about Charlie's car company? What does that have to do with Ashley Acker?" "Here's where I let you in on a secret," Yolden said. "But first, you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone except Paul."Matilda nodded without hesitation. "Don't worry—if it's a secret, I won't tell Paul either."Yolden scratched his head. "Actually, Paul should know. We are going to marry soon, and he's my stepson, lega

In fact, the legal department of major enterprises covered many responsibilities, the chief of which concerned intellectual property, which was why veterans were needed to lead.Additionally, Charlie trusted Matilda's accomplishments in the legal field, especially since she had worked in the United States for years.With Curtis Autos' intended expansion worldwide, that meant the legal department should also know the laws of countries abroad, ready to file or respond to lawsuits at any time. After all, competitors may use the law to impede their growth, along with the government applying unfair policies to impede their development and impact on local businesses.Moreover, Charlie considered Paul young and therefore lacking in experience, not to mention that it was not likely he would abandon his family's law firm. As such, the ideal solution was to poach Matilda for now.As for Matilda, she was still in the dark and had no idea what she was in for, asking Charlie in confusion, "Lega
