The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 5861
Upon hearing those words, Fleur felt a chill run from the soles of her feet to the top of her head. She had never felt this helpless and terrified since Marcius had saved her by chance over three hundred years ago on Mount Tason.The last time she had felt this panicked was when she stumbled upon Marcius' image online. But now, she suddenly realized that her master, who was supposed to have passed away over three hundred years ago, might still be alive.This realization hit her like a ton of bricks.Fleur couldn't contain her fear, and her voice trembled as she said, “Master, I… I know that I was wrong…” At that moment, a furious shout echoed in Fleur's ears. Marcius's voice was filled with extreme coldness as he rebuked, “Get out now!”This rebuke struck Fleur's heart like a thunderbolt. She dared not hesitate any longer and quickly got up, trembling as she bowed toward the stone wall and said, “Master, forgive me. I… I will leave…”With that said, she turned around eagerly, dr

Vera shook her head. “I'm not sure either.”Just then, on the screen, Fleur flagged down a passing van here and had a brief conversation with the driver. The driver waved her off, seeming to refuse her request. Fleur looked a bit anxious, hastily pulled out a stack of red bills, and handed them to the driver, who took the money, and Fleur then quickly stepped into the van and sat in the back of the van.Charlie was even more puzzled, “Where is Fleur going?”Vera replied, “Young Master, I can't understand it either.”Charlie suggested, “Let's keep an eye on her and see where this van is headed.”“Okay.”In the underdeveloped mountainous town, surveillance mainly focused on the roads, so Vera could track the van's movements by continuously switching surveillance feeds of the roads. Soon, the van left the town and headed toward the entrance of the highway.At this moment, inside the drafty van, Fleur was eager to leave Oskia as soon as possible. So, she messaged her crew to quickly

Based solely on Fleur's return behavior, it was challenging for Charlie and Vera to determine her intentions. Vera was especially worried that Fleur's departure might not be a genuine exit from Mount Tason but rather a need to change her destination. So, she said to Charlie, “Young Master, my father once mentioned that when Master Marcius left on his crane, his stone chamber later vanished without a trace. He speculated that Master Marcius must have used great supernatural powers to hide or move the chamber elsewhere. Fleur's visit to Mount Tason this time was probably to find the whereabouts of that chamber.”Charlie nodded and replied, “I also think Fleur is unlikely to leave Mount Tason so quickly. Perhaps she has already found some new clues.”Vera, with a worried expression, said, “If Fleur can really find a way to become stronger from the relics left by Master Marcius or if she finds some useful elixirs and artifacts, wouldn't her strength increase significantly?”Charlie sa

The reason why Charlie didn't hide anymore was because he felt that there was no need to worry that Fleur would find out. At this moment, Fleur had already passed through security and customs with an Oskian passport she had prepared long ago. She sat in the VIP lounge, feeling nervous and uneasy while waiting for her flight.Her anxiety and panic caused her leg muscles to twitch even now. In her mind, Marcius' deafening words, ‘Get lost now!’, kept repeating, enveloping her soul in immense fear.She couldn't help but replay the whole situation in her mind as she tried hard to analyze the possibility of Marcius still being alive. She recalled every detail of her and Elijah’s apprenticeship under Marcius, silently reflecting, “Actually, now that I think about it, Master never really valued me and Elijah. If it weren't for us being pursued by the Qing army, Master probably wouldn't have shown up in front of us…”“Now that I think about it, Master taking us as disciples was partly to le

Fleur cried out and said, “Elijah, the Qing army is inhumane, and they have slaughtered countless people in Oskia. If you and I fall into their hands, we will suffer fates worse than death! It’s better for you to end my life quickly than to let me fall into their hands to be abused and tortured by them!”Elijah clenched his teeth and said sternly, “Fleur, you don't have to be afraid. If we truly have no way to escape, I will end your life quickly, and then I will fight those Qing scumbags to the end. I will never let you fall into their hands!”At this moment, Gyaljatru and his men were getting closer and closer. He saw the black bloodstains left by Fleur and sneered, “Since you refuse the wine, then don't blame me for being ruthless! When the two of you fall into the hands of our brothers, we will make sure that the little beauty enjoys herself!”Fleur was both shocked and angry. She shouted hoarsely, “Even if I become a ghost, I will not let you Qing scumbags off! One day, the Osk

Elijah realized that the old man in front of them indeed possessed great powers and was also a fellow Oskian, so he almost instinctively knelt down on the spot and sobbed tearfully as he cried out, “Sir, these days, most of the Oskian land has been almost completely occupied by the barbarians, and the lives of the Oskians are in misery and suffering. We have been resisting the Qing army for many years, but our strength is limited. We can only watch helplessly as the Oskian land continues to fall. Since you are also an Oskian, please help drive away the Qing scumbags and restore Oskia!”Fleur also regained her senses and quickly knelt down, bowing respectfully as she said, “Please lend us your hand, Sir!”Marcius was slightly surprised by their actions, then sneered and said, “I have been living in seclusion here for hundreds of years. Whoever owns the land outside has nothing to do with me anymore. Whether it's a king from Oskia, Mongolia, or from the Qing Army, it is not my concern.

He had been practicing here for hundreds of years, and during these centuries, hardly anyone had disturbed his cave. But today, that group of foolish Qing soldiers had rushed in, shouting and disturbing his peace.He had thought it was just an isolated incident, but now, upon hearing Fleur’s words, he suddenly felt uneasy.At this moment, Marcius remained silent for a long time.Suddenly, flames surged from below the mountain. In order to completely annihilate the Oskian army and the Qing Eliminating Society, the Qing army had started setting fire to the mountain.When Marcius saw the roaring fire, he suddenly changed his mind and said, “That’s enough. Since you two want to support Oskia, I can give you a chance to see if you are willing.”Elijah was overjoyed and quickly said, “Sir, please speak up!”Marcius said lightly, “Today, you two will become my disciples. I will teach you some skills of warfare. After you leave Mount Tason, you can continue to fight against the Qing army

After Fleur's private jet landed at Entrell Airport, it didn't undergo much preparation before getting ready to fly directly to Australia.According to the flight plan, just like their previous trip, they would refuel in Australia and then fly directly to Buenos Aires.While the plane Fleur was on was taxiing for takeoff on the right runway of Entrell Airport, a private jet carrying Charlie and Vera landed on the other runway.A Mercedes SUV was already parked in the airport parking lot. After leaving the airport, Charlie and Vera headed straight for the parking lot. After finding the SUV, Charlie reached for a set of car keys from the inside of the left front wheel.He then used the keys to unlock the door and got into the car together with Vera before heading toward the direction of Mount Tason.Vera, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was somewhat uneasy. She felt that Fleur's sudden departure from Mount Tason indicated that there must be risks on Mount Tason that neither s

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
