The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 5981
At dawn in New York City, Porter and his men took Aman, Antonio, and the mafia bosses from the gangs under the Zano family out of Oskiatown and headed for the port.The remaining second-in-commands were promoted to the leader positions.Angus was still in a bit of a trance. Despite witnessing Charlie exterminate the Zano family and their underlings with his own eyes, he had a sense of unreality. Charlie saw Angus's dazed expression and asked, "What do you feel now, Angus?"Angus came to his senses and scratched his head in embarrassment. "M-Mr. Wade, i-it's unbelievable...""Hah!" Charlie chuckled. "You'd better put yourself together fast because you have an important task. From now on, you must reorganize the Oskian Gang as soon as possible. The Zano family is the biggest mafia group in New York, but they are not the only ones. You will face a lot of challenges in the future. Since you have chosen this path, you must figure out how to proceed.""Yes, Mr. Wade." Angus nodded sol

Charlie nodded and professed earnestly, "When I was a kid, I heard the story of the Oskian gangs overseas. Back then, they dared to go all out, and because of that, they secured a considerable foundation in Canada, the United States, and even Europe. I've never expected that into the twenty-first century, the Oskian gangs all over the world are declining rapidly. A lot of them have already disappeared. Those that remain hide in the dark and live like a pack of rats. Do you know why?""B-Because—" Daves spluttered awkwardly, "O-Over the years, Europe and the States have become more and more aggressive in cracking down on gangs. The degree of unity among Oskians is indeed worse than that of Koreans and Vietnamese, so it's much harder now—""You're wrong!" Charlie snapped and interrupted him. "They're all excuses. From what I see, the reason why overseas Oskian gangs are rapidly declining is the loss of courage and grit!"He sighed and continued, "Many of the members of the Oskian gang

As Charlie and Janus left the roast goose restaurant, Janus looked back at the simple facade and sighed. "Well, I guess that my father's secret roast goose recipe will be lost."With a chuckle, Charlie asked, "Uncle Janus, do you question or oppose my decision today?"After a moment of silence, Janus looked at Charlie and confided in a serious tone, "Mr. Wade, Angus is my adopted son, not a pet. From the day I adopted him, I never thought about making plans for his life. It was not my intention for him to learn to make roast goose. He had a miserable childhood, didn't go to school nor had the desire to study. That's why I taught him how to make roast goose. At least he could have something to make a living."He cleared his throat and continued, "I respect his decision as to whether he chooses to run the restaurant, but the opportunity you offer him today is too great, I don't think he has enough experience to handle it.""I beg to differ," Charlie asserted. "You can look at the mat

The antique shop was closed when Charlie's car stopped in front of the shop. Janus was indifferent about it. After all, they were quite early, and few shops were open early in the morning.But Charlie, who was more observant, noticed something unusual.He saw the mottled rust on the iron folding door and handle of the shop as if no one had cleaned them for a while.He pulled over to the other side of the street as he had planned to get a cup of coffee there. When he went closer to the shop to have a look, he found that the shop hadn't been operated for a long time. There was even a cobweb hanging over the door.Looking inside through the window, he saw that the exhibits were dirty and had not been maintained for quite some time.Janus frowned in confusion. "It looks like this place has been closed for at least a few months.""You're right." Charlie nodded. "Didn't the Coles run many antique shops in Europe and the United States? Maybe they decided to close the business here."

Charlie pursed his lips and crooned, "It's okay. I can ask Miss Fox about this. Her connections and intelligent network in New York are much better than ours."Comment by _ Lunaelle: use a simpler wordWith that, he took out his phone and called Kathleen.The phone rang seven to eight times before it was finally answered. "Brad," Kathleen spoke. "How are things in Atlanta? Everything good?"Charlie realized that it was not a good time to talk as Kathleen had made up an alias and some fake questions. She was probably with Claire right now.Sensing that, Charlie immediately quipped, "Miss Fox, it's not a good time, is it? I'll call you later.""I'm in New York now, working on a project. Give me five minutes. I'll call you back," Kathleen answered."Alright," Charlie replied and ended the call.Kathleen called exactly five minutes later. She began respectfully as soon as Charlie answered the call, "I'm sorry, Mr. Wade. I was discussing a project with Mrs. Wade just now. She might

Kathleen promised, "Don't worry, Mr. Wade. I won't tell Mrs. Wade about this."She quickly added, "I haven't heard about Biden's arrest. Don't worry. I'll have someone to gather information and inform you when I get it.""Alright." Charlie thanked her. "Thank you, Miss Fox."After ending the call, Charlie told Janus, "Miss Fox will investigate it, and it may take some time. Let's go back to the hotel in New York to have breakfast and rest.""No problem." Janus nodded and smiled. "It's just that the hotel is a distance away from here, and the news may arrive in less than half an hour if Miss Fox is efficient enough. Why don't we just grab a bite over there?" he pointed at the cafe across the street and suggested. "Just give me a cup of coffee and I'll stay awake all day."Charlie considered his option and nodded in agreement. The two of them went to the cafe across the street and ordered some food and coffee. Kathleen called Charlie before they finished their coffee.Kathleen's

"Send someone in?"Kathleen blurted at first and gasped in bewilderment, "M-Mr. Wade! Are you implying that you want me to send you in?""Yes." Charlie nodded. "Please help me get a fake ID and send me to Brooklyn Prison. I want to meet Biden."Kathleen thought for a while and cautioned, "It's not a problem to send you in, but I can't guarantee you can meet Biden. After all, his case is so special that it's worth the core member of the Rothschilds going to great lengths for him. No matter what he did, it must be a great deal, so he must be given special attention in prison. I don't think it's easy to see him.""Don't worry about it." Charlie chuckled. "I'll see what I can do when I'm in there.""Okay. When do you plan to go in?""As soon as possible, preferably before noon. Can you do it?"Kathleen affirmed in a crisp voice, "No problem. I'll arrange it right away."When Charlie ended the call, Janus asked, "Are you going to see Biden in prison?""Yes." Charlie nodded. "He had

"I will."-After breakfast, Charlie drove to the Shangri-La Hotel in New York. He had booked a luxury suite for Janus since he was going to Brooklyn Prison today. They were resting in the room when Kathleen called.Kathleen's voice echoed through the phone. "Where are you now, Mr. Wade? I'm almost done. If it's convenient for you, I will come over now and walk you through the details.""I'm at Shangri-La," Charlie informed. "Come over here."Kathleen arrived at the hotel ten minutes later and bowed respectfully at Charlie. "Mr. Wade, here's the thing you requested."She then handed him a passport. "This is a Malaysian passport. You can claim to be a Malaysian Oskian. There is no entry record in the States, and this will increase the security of this identity from being discovered."With a nod, Charlie took the passport and flipped it open. It was his photo, and the name on it was Charlie Curtis. It didn't stand out since many Malaysian Oskians put their names as such on their

If Charlie really did get Jimmy to stay, who knew what other rubbish Jimmy would spout.As for Jimmy, he was actually surprised Charlie was asking him to stay, and his instincts told him that Charlie definitely didn't mean well.Not only that, he was on foreign soil—wouldn't he be defenseless if Charlie called in his friends to beat him up?Hence, he shook his head without hesitation as he said, "I'm sorry, but my sister-in-law is quite keen for me to leave, so I have no reason to stay and add to her problems. And it is her big day. I can afford to let her save face instead of spilling the beans on her all at once.""Oh, but you were complaining about the lack of important people just now!" Charlie quickly interjected. "It just so happens that we have a big-shot on his way here, and he's a good friend of the groom. When I told him about you over the phone, he said to keep you here no matter what it took, since he would like to talk to you face to face."Jimmy frowned. "What, are y
Chapter 6604
And with those words, Jimmy turned to leave.Despite threatening Matilda, there was no such agreement, and he knew that Matilda was well aware of that.Regardless, the only strategy he had in mind when he came to Oskia was harassment. As such, he simply came up with a lie to make Matilda look bad in public. All it took from there was just for one person to relay what he had said—even if it were all lies, Matilda's character would still be called into question.He made himself very clear so that Matilda would understand that if she didn't give in, his family would keep hounding her to take their two pounds of flesh. Even if she wouldn't surrender the stateside estates and human resources of Smith Group Corporate Law, they would still claim a sizable chunk.But if that failed too, they would just have to destroy Matilda's reputation along with Smith Group Corporate Law.Either way, they were not letting her off easy!And reading that much from Jimmy's behavior, Matilda snapped co
Chapter 6603
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
Chapter 6599
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
