Everyone was left awestruck simultaneously as the words 'Curtis Automotive' flashed on the screen, many of whom were reminded of a question that was asked many times back in the day.How far and how high would Curtis Wade's accomplishments continue?While most journalists working now wouldn't know that, the realization soon struck—Curtis was Jeremiah Wade's second son!So, this joint project was named in honor of the man who had left many years ago, though it was not surprising that the two families would suddenly choose to work together again after twenty years.After a brief pause, Kaeden sighed emotionally on the stage. "As most might have guessed, Curtis Automotives is named after Curtis Wade, my late brother-in-law. The brand shall inherit his will—an indomitable spirit which never backs down in adversity and always strives to improve to the next level."Both of our families are also ready to go all out to establish Curtis Autos as an international powerhouse. It is our ambit

The Ackers and the Wades were investing over thirty times more money into their new car brand compared to Ricebolt! It was a power move through and through—forget Oskia, it was unlikely anyone could invest this much even if it was the automotive industry.The audience behind the screens was all gaping too, with Aurous Hill residents all whooping in excitement. After all, they were talking about a sudden injection of 300 billion Oskian dollars into the city. They could certainly expect everything to improve up to the next level, and each of them would more or less reap some benefits from this.Meanwhile, Kaeden continued on stage, "I'm sure everyone is aware that the Ackeriver Group has recently acquired Godot Autos, which had collapsed due to bankruptcy. That being said, we won't be trying to resuscitate the brand, as our two families have agreed to establish a new one."All of Godot Autos' human resources and hardware will now be assimilated under our new banner, while their name

Hearing that the press conference was starting, Claire and Nellie stopped gossiping, while Charlie breathed a sigh of relief.It was truly in a journalist's nature to be a monger for gossip, what with all the news articles they published or read each day. And at the rate she had been spilling information, Nellie might even let slip something vital that might expose Charlie. That included his last name being Wade, and the day his parents were killed, which also happened to be the day he was sent to that orphanage. Fortunately, Claire wasn't one who obsessed over gossip, or she would have noticed the signs with just a little prying. In addition, Charlie's personal information had always been well protected. All the media knew was that Curtis Wade's son had gone missing, but they didn't know the boy's name, or Nellie would have started grilling him no matter how simple-minded she seemed.Nonetheless, the press conference soon began with Kaeden taking the stage as the emcee. Inst

Nellie smiled. "Well, you see, the rumors always had it that Curtis' family died here in Aurous Hill, and that the Ackers and the Wades chose this place for their joint project to memorialize them."Claire was even more shocked, "Wait, Ashley Acker died here, in Aurous Hill? I've read all the articles about her, and people are still talking about her accomplishments stateside, but I never heard about that!"Nellie shrugged. "It makes sense if you have never heard of it. There's basically been a media blackout since what happened to Curtis' family, and it's not just Ashley. Curtis was famous in his own right and accomplished a lot individually as well.""Fair enough, but I don't think I've heard of him," Claire replied, frowning. "I did hear about Ashley because she made a name for herself in Silicon Valley, where she invested in many networking giants when they were just startups."Nellie nodded. "Well, Curtis is less famous, but what he accomplished was nothing short of genius. I

Just as they were about to enter the conference hall, Charlie whipped out two face masks, passing one to Claire. "Let's wear these. We're not journalists, and we could get recognized."The press conference had gained considerable attention as it was the first joint project in twenty years for the Ackers and the Wades, so Charlie was sure that the Qing Eliminating Society would be watching too. Since he resembled his father, Curtis, a lot, he needed the disguise to not be recognized.While Claire wasn't aware of Charlie's actual intention, what he had said was indeed true. Aurous Hill was a small city, and they really might run into familiar faces. It wouldn't do to be caught blending in amongst journalists.Since wearing masks would spare them that trouble, both of them put one on before heading into the conference hall.The interior was already congested with people, with journalists and camera crews spread across every corner.Nellie quickly led them to the Aurous Mornings sea
Chapter 6685
Meanwhile, Charlie was meeting with Claire and her friend from the press outside Shangri-la.Nellie Chandler was a journalist working for an Aurous Hill newspaper and Claire's classmate back in middle school. Although the newspaper had been given four seats, they were on the verge of bankruptcy and couldn't spare more journalists, so the free seats were given to Claire.They were waiting when Charlie arrived, and Nellie smiled at Claire, "So, that's him?"Claire nodded. "Nellie, meet Charlie. Darling, meet Nellie. We go all the way back in middle school, and she's now the chief correspondent of Aurous Mornings."Nellie waved her off, flashing a humble smile, "Don't tease me. There's no hierarchy where I work—we're all chief correspondents, and heaven knows we're just waiting for the paper to shut down."Surprised, Claire asked, "Is it really that bad?""Bad is the least of it," Nellie sighed. "No one reads the papers these days, and Aurous Hill is a small place anyway, meaning
