The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 5758
Charlie hadn't done much research on the study of destiny.In the Apocalyptic Book, there was a wealth of miscellaneous knowledge, but it notably lacked explanations about destiny. He used to think that destiny might be like India's caste system, where a high destiny equated to a high caste, meaning a person of high caste only had a high social status, but they didn't inherently possess great strength. People of high caste could still get sick, age, and face various accidents just like anyone else. However, Vera's words suggested that destiny was far more complex than he had imagined.So, he asked Vera, “If my father had the fate of the dragon, would he not have been killed by Mr. Chardon?”Vera asserted confidently, “That’s right! The power of destiny lies in their absolute hierarchy. As long as a person with the fate of the dragon doesn't seek death, how could Mr. Chardon, who merely had the fate of the tiger, kill someone with the fate of the dragon? Young Master, you have the fa

Vera nodded and smiled, saying, “Young Master Wade promised earlier to grant you an opportunity, and he specially came today to fulfill that promise. Hurry up and express your gratitude!”Upon hearing this, the three men exchanged glances with one another excitedly and immediately knelt.When Charlie saw the three men, totaling almost three hundred years in age, kneeling before him, he couldn't bear it. He quickly tried to rise to help and stop them, but Vera suddenly reached out her fair and slender hand to stop Charlie and said earnestly, “Young Master Wade, there's no need for you to stand up. Their bowing to you is only right.”Charlie hurriedly said, “Gentlemen, you're all elderly. You shouldn't perform such a grand gesture. It's not appropriate…”Vera firmly said, “Young Master Wade, rest assured, there's nothing inappropriate about it. Their gesture is not only to thank you but also for their own sake!”She continued, “These three have been raised by me since they were youn

Charlie looked at the three elderly people with snowy hair in front of him, and he couldn't help but glance at Vera beside him, who seemed to be still youthful. He felt a bit confused for a moment.The three elderly men were indeed very old and even with limited interaction. It was evident that they were very experienced and wise.However, in front of Vera, these three seemed like children being scolded by their parents, obeying her every command without question. Although Vera herself looked like a child, her attitude toward the three elders remained stern, making him feel particularly awkward.Nevertheless, he quickly pushed aside this discomfort and politely said to the three, “Please stand up.”The three didn't stand up but raised their heads to look at Vera.Vera seemed indifferent to the elderly men kneeling before her, and she nodded casually before she then spoke up, “Since Young Master Wade has spoken, you may all rise.”Only then did the three men help each other up.

Logan took the tea knife and quickly expressed his gratitude while intending to cut the pill in half directly. At this moment, Charlie spoke up, “Mr. Carrick, there's no need for you to do that.”Logan was slightly startled and instinctively looked at Charlie. Charlie then took out another Rejuvenating Pill and handed it to Logan, saying, “This one is for your wife. Could you please pass it to her on my behalf?”Not only was Logan stunned by this, but even Vera was also taken aback. She never expected Charlie to produce another invaluable Rejuvenating Pill to give to Logan's wife, whom he had never met before.Charlie had visited Scarlet Pinnacle Manor several times, and Logan's wife had always avoided him, never meeting him in person.This was also the first time Charlie had given a Rejuvenating Pill to a stranger. His reason for doing so was solely out of gratitude for Vera saving his life.To Charlie, these three elderly men were all orphans raised by Vera. Logan's wife, pres

Vera was deeply moved by Charlie's actions. After that, Charlie earnestly said to the three elderly men, “Gentlemen, after taking the Rejuvenating Pill this time, your lifespan will exceed one hundred years. To avoid arousing suspicion from the outside world, Mr. Carrick should consider investing in a medical research institution. This way, when people question why you don't age, there will be a reasonable explanation.”Logan replied without hesitation, “Mr. Wade, you can rest assured that I will definitely invest in several similar enterprises and institutions.”Charlie nodded and then said to Emmett, “Mr. Sandsor, as someone in a high position, sudden changes like this should be handled carefully so as not to arouse too much suspicion.”Emmett responded without hesitation, “Mr. Wade, I have already decided not to return to Eastcliff. In the future, I will stay by Miss's side with Mr. Raven to attend to her needs.”Mr. Raven also smiled and said, “I have always been by Miss's side

Charlie frowned, “Then who do you think is on the plane and where could they be going?”Vera replied, “I dare not speculate on that.”After that, Vera added, “Regardless of who is on board, as long as their final destination isn't Australia, they will surely apply for the next segment of their flight route before reaching Australia. Flying from Buenos Aires to Australia takes at least twelve hours, so the most important destination of this plane will probably become clear in about eight hours.”Charlie nodded slightly, “It seems we'll have to wait until tomorrow morning to find out.”Vera smiled gently, reassuring him, “Young Master, there's no need to worry too much. Based on what I know about Fleur, she won’t come to Aurous Hill again. This plane might be carrying other people to execute other missions elsewhere.”Charlie hummed in agreement, “Thinking too much now won't help. We'll know where the plane is headed in eight hours. If it's coming to Aurous Hill, I'll still have ove

After bidding farewell to Vera and returning home, Charlie's mind was preoccupied with only two things.The first thing was to seize time and refine the Thunderstrike Wood from the Mother of Puér Tea given to him by Vera into a Thunder Order.The other was to wait eight hours and see where the Boeing 777 from the Qing Eliminating Society was headed next. If it was heading to Aurous Hill, he needed to prepare accordingly as soon as possible.With eight hours to spare, Charlie immediately began refining the Thunder Order upon returning home. For Charlie, refining the Thunderous Order was already a familiar task.When he returned to his room and infused Reiki into the segment of Thunderstrike Wood, he thought everything would be as simple as it was before. However, he soon found that his Reiki, which used to be unstoppable, had difficulty advancing within the Thunderstrike Wood.Previously, refining the Thunderstrike Wood was like carving an ordinary piece of wood with a sharp knife.

“Mandalay?” Charlie frowned and asked, “Is the information accurate?”“Absolutely,” Isaac affirmed. “Currently, the flight plan submitted to the Australian Air Traffic Control Department is indeed for Mandalay. They will probably land at Melbourne Airport in about four hours and then expect an hour or so of rest after landing before continuing to Mandalay. It’s about an eight-hour flight from Melbourne to Mandalay, so they won't arrive in Mandalay for at least another ten hours.”Upon learning that the other party wasn't coming to Aurous Hill, Charlie's first feeling was relief. He thought his strategy to put on a bold front to conceal his weakness had been discovered by the other party.However, he was also puzzled and did not understand why the Qing Eliminating Society would suddenly send a plane to Myanmar. So, Charlie called Vera and relayed Isaac's report to her.Vera was surprised to hear that the Qing Eliminating Society's plane had gone to Myanmar. She said, “Why would Fleu

Jimmy didn't expect Matilda to break down the share ownership of Smith Group Corporate Law to such detail, and he hollered as he was starting to feel embarrassed, "Now, you're just being irresponsible, Matilda. My father gave my brother a million to start the law firm in the first place, and they had agreed that the family would have a stake, albeit only at 49%, to not deny your decision-making as a startup. Or are you denying it?"Matilda immediately became furious and snapped, "Bullshit! That was just a loan of one million, and the agreed term was three years. However, your brother returned it in one! I even asked him to return the money with every single one of his siblings watching, since you might all get skeptical, yet suddenly, you're calling it an investment?""You said he's returned it? Well, what proof do you have?" Jimmy quickly shot back. "Our entire family can testify that the money hasn't come back to us!""So, this is how you're going to play it?" Matilda smirked. "Th

In the first place, Jimmy had come to Oskia to claim a stake in Smith Group Corporate Law, ideally strong-arming Paul and Matilda into splitting the firm in two, with Jimmy taking everything in the States while Paul kept what was left.The way Jimmy saw it, Paul and Matilda were going to be permanently residing in Oskia anyway. There was no way they could manage things over in another country properly, so it was basically returning the firm to the rightful owner.Naturally, Jimmy also knew that despite bearing the Smith family name, the success of Smith Group Corporate Law was all the work of Jimmy's brother and Matilda. Jimmy's father had helped to a certain extent, but that extent of financial support wouldn't amount to an investment at all. No judge in the world would support his claim to the law firm's shares.Therefore, when he learned that Matilda was remarrying, he thought he could seize the moment to cause a scene. Nothing could be better if she and Paul decided to sacrifice

Jimmy deliberately raised his voice as he said coolly, "Oh, but I didn't want to intervene. It's you and your mother who left the States in a split second, taking with you the law firm which bears the Smith family name. Don't you think such behavior is inappropriate?"Seeing the surprised reactions of the guests, Paul promptly retorted, "The law firm uses the Smith family name, but it is my parents' legacy! They worked blood and sweat to build it from the ground up, and as their only son, I have a veto when it comes to decisions. Or did we need your permission to move to Oskia?""Where's your conscience, Paul?" Jimmy pursed his lips. "Even if you don't know how Smith Group Corporate Law was founded, is that the case for you? It would have been a joke if it weren't for my father's connections!"Hell, it's no exaggeration that it was my father who fought to expand the law firm across America, and just using the family name means you're borrowing the family's influence. The family hono

The blonde man's voice drew everyone's attention in an instant.Despite his foreign appearance, he spoke Oskian fluently and walked with a haughty gait, almost as though he was above the rest.Paul's expression turned grim the instant he saw him, and he hurried over with Charlie.Still, before Paul could speak, Charlie stopped him, frowning at the man as he said, "Don't you think it's inappropriate to come slinging personal attacks at someone else's wedding?"The man clearly didn't know Charlie, and he wasn't worried, seeing that he was young.Snorting in disdain, he asked, "You must be from the groom's family, yes? Please tell him that he doesn't deserve my sister-in-law.""It's up to the happy couple to decide that," Charlie retorted quietly. "Deserving someone is no issue as long as they both love each other."The man pursed his lips and looked pointedly around him. "Just look at how simple this wedding is. Forget picking an unassuming city like Aurous Hill—is there a single

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
