At this time Charlie looked at Liam before he asked curiously, “I heard that you have something to ask me?”Liam nodded hurriedly before he took out the wooden box containing the thousand-year-old snow white ginseng from his pocket and handed it over to Charlie. After that, he said respectfully, “Mr. Wade, this thousand-year-old snow white ginseng is a family heirloom that was passed down in my mother’s family for many generations. I’ve been carrying it close to me all these years but this kind of treasure can never reach its maximum potential in my hands. Therefore, after thinking about it, I’ve decided to dedicate it to you, Mr. Wade!”Charlie did not say anything and he simply opened the wooden box to look at the thousand-year-old snow white ginseng. At this time, he could see a piece of snow white ginseng with human-like roots and some wax surrounding it lying inside the box.Moreover, with just a single glance, Charlie could feel the strong and rich spiritual energy within the
When Charlie heard Liam’s words, he suddenly felt that Liam was in a similar situation as he was.Once upon a time, he was also an orphan and piece of trash who was humiliated and bullied by others.His life only turned around when Stephen Thompson found him and handed Emgrand Group and a black card with tens of billions of dollars over to him.Later, Charlie finally had the opportunity to achieve greatness when he found the Apocalyptic Book by accident.Once upon a time, he had also been cast aside by everyone. He had also been waiting for an opportunity to prove himself to everyone, as well as to slap all those who had despised him in the past!Therefore, he could understand Liam’s feelings very well.Liam was a child who had been called a b*stard ever since he was a young boy. His mother died and even though he was brought into his own biological father’s home, he was subjected to even greater torture and humiliation. After more than twenty years, the degree of tolerance in hi
Kenneth glared at the head of the Weaver family before he shouted, “Jordan Weaver! Haven’t you found a way to cure me yet?”Jordan trembled a little as he replied, “Don’t worry, Chairman Wilson. I have already sent someone to find a famous doctor to come over to cure you. I have also mobilized all the Weaver family’s contacts in the pharmaceutical industry and we are all looking for even stronger antibiotics that would help to cure you.”Even though he was saying that, Jordan knew that there was no hope at all.He had originally hoped that Jeffrey would be able to invite Anthony to come over to cure Kenneth but Anthony did not give him any face at all. After Jeffrey was driven out of Serene World Clinic by Anthony, he had also gone to look for a few other famous genius doctors in Aurous Hill. However, as soon as any one of them heard that the patient was Kenneth, no one wanted to come.In fact, word about the incident involving Anthony had already spread all over Aurous Hill. Moreo
As soon as he said this, everyone was very excited.Jordan’s eyes widened as he asked in a trembling voice, “What did you just say? Who did Liam bring back with him?”A person yelled at the door, “Liam brought Dr. Simmons and a young man back with him! They have already entered the yard!”As soon as the voice fell, Jordan immediately had an ecstatic look on his face!Dr. Simmons was here?Had Liam finally invited Dr. Simmons here?Oh my god! It seemed as though there was hope for the Weaver family!Kenneth was even more excited at this time.He did not care about the needle infused at the back of his hand. His eyes were filled with excitement at this time!Ever since his penis began to rot, Kenneth knew that Dr. Simmons was the only one who could cure him.However, he also knew that Anthony was very dissatisfied with him and it would be impossible for him to step up and save him.Moreover, he really could not understand why Anthony would change his mind and agree to treat hi
Unexpectedly, this guy was actually together with that b*stard, Liam!Kenneth was also going to greet Anthony excitedly. However, the expression on his face changed as soon as he saw Charlie.At the same time, he could not help but feel very upset.The humiliation that he had suffered in front of Charlie was no less than what Jeffrey had suffered!Originally, he regarded Charlie as his mortal enemy. However, now that Charlie was here with Anthony, he did not dare to say anything or cause a scene at all. This was because he knew that Anthony really looked up to and respected Charlie. If he offended Charlie again, Kenneth was afraid that Anthony would refuse to cure him.As he thought about this, Kenneth stepped forward immediately before he bowed and said, “Uncle Simmons, I know that I’ve angered you previously. I know that it is all my fault. I know that I was wrong. Please heal me!”At this time, Anthony replied nonchalantly, “I’ve already told you that both our families would h
Jeffrey really did not expect to get slapped by both his father and Kenneth at the same time because he was questioning Charlie’s identity.In fact, he could actually tolerate it if Kenneth hit him because he knew that he was the one who had caused Kenneth to end up this way—the only reason Kenneth had ended up like this was due to the medicine that he had given him. Therefore, it was only normal for Kenneth to hate him.However, Jeffrey really could not believe that his father, who would barely hit him throughout all these years, had suddenly slapped him twice in a row!He covered his face as he looked at Jordan and said, “Dad! Why did you hit me again? Did I make a mistake?”“A*shole! Shut up right now!”Jordan glared at him fiercely before he cursed in his heart. Why couldn’t his prodigal son have the ability and sense to know the right things that he should be doing at a time like this?Since Anthony was also doing Charlie’s bidding, then Charlie would be the only savior of t
They were all just fooling around. Thus, Jordan felt that the women should just get rid of the baby once they discovered their pregnancies. Why the h*ll would they give birth to their child?This was the fundamental reason why Jordan had always hated Liam.If it weren’t because his father found out that he had another grandson out there, Jordan would never have taken in a b*stard child who was given to him by a village woman!Even if Liam made a significant contribution to the Weaver family, he would never be able to hand over the Weaver family’s business over to him! Who was he to deserve this?However, Jordan did not reveal the slander and discomfort in his heart. He simply wanted to send the plague god, Kenneth, away!Therefore, Jordan said respectfully, “Mr. Wade, please help Chairman Wilson!”Kenneth also looked at Charlie with a bitter expression on his face. After all, wasn’t the reason why he called Charlie his grandfather and why he apologized to him simply because he wa
“Using human urine?!” Kenneth immediately said with an awkward expression, “Is… isn’t this a little disgusting? Do you really need to use urine?”Charlie snorted. “Do you think I’m bluffing?”He pointed to Jordan and asked, “You! You’ve been in the pharmaceutical business for many years now. Let me ask you, don’t they use the urine of little boys as a primer in ancient medicine?”“Yes, that’s right!” Jordan nodded. “Many ancient methods require little boys’ urine as a medicine primer. In fact, there’s even a tradition of eating urine-soaked eggs in the south. It’s proven to have a certain health effect.”Then, he turned to Kenneth and said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Wilson. Little boys’ urine is a very pristine ingredient in Chinese medicine, it’s not as dirty as you imagine it to be.”Kenneth was a little relieved when he heard it was the little boys’ urine.He had seen the appearance of the little boys’ urine in the Chinese classic movies. Indeed, it wasn’t as disgusting as it sounded.
Julien shook his head and gingerly asked, "Jordan Fox likes his granddaughter?"Charlie smiled, shaking his head. "And your father doesn't like you as his eldest? Admiration is no guarantee of inheritance. And if we're talking about love, is it not a gesture of love that he provided you with endless cash and a life of privilege that only the world's top one percent can enjoy?"Julien also noticed the flaw in his logic. "Then, do you perchance know why, Mr. Wade?"Charlie nodded. "Jordan granted his position to Kathleen because that was the condition I proposed to him in return for prolonging his life. No succession, no pills—no matter how much he was willing to pay me for it."Then, Charlie looked Julien straight in the eye as he continued solemnly, "If the day comes and I find you more reliable, I will choose you as the sole broker for your father's pills. Just think about it—if the day comes that you're the only person your father can get his pills from, would he say no if you as
Charlie chuckled. "You might think that I'm screwing you over, but in reality, I'm indirectly solidifying your place as heir apparent. From what I've learned, your family has not confirmed who it would be."Julien chuckled awkwardly. "You're right, but I am now. With the pills you've provided, however, my father might live longer than me…"Charlie nodded. "Since we have the fortune of meeting over drinks, I shall cut to the chase—to me, it doesn't matter who between you or your father lives longer. My priority is with whom I could hope for a better partnership."And right now, your father has shown more sincerity than you have, which was why I asked Helena to provide him with my pills."Pausing, Charlie then asked, "Are you aware of your father's recent activities? In Northern Europe?""A little," Julien replied. "A data center or something along those lines."Charlie nodded again. "See, I've asked Helena to make him a new offer—I will provide him with one pill should he build an
Charlie had actually invited Julien over to bring him aboard his metaphorical ship.While not particularly down-to-earth, Julien was still the second most important figure in the Rothschild family, and having him on board wouldn't hurt.Moreover, just having drinks with Charlie and Raymond here basically told everyone they were friends. If Harrison knew that Julien was meeting the son of Curtis Wade as well as 'Biden Cole', who had taken the Four-Sided Treasure Tower from the Rothstchilds, he just might have Julien shot.While Julien may not become the head of the Rothschild family anytime soon, he would prove very useful.With Helena basically controlling Harrison and Charlie himself controlling Julien, traveling Stateside would be no different from going home."It seems I must reevaluate my opinion of you now with that attitude."Charlie smiled at Julien and raised his cup, "Come, let's have a toast—to friendship."Julien nodded, picked up his cup, exclaiming cheerfully, "To f
Pausing, Julien then said, "I mostly drink wine and the occasional whiskey.""How much are those, usually?" Raymond asked.Julien thought about it. "If it's table wine, 10,000 to 50,000 USD. For bigger occasions, it'd be something over a hundred thousand."Raymond nodded and pointed at the bottle of Oskian vodka he had bought. "Guess how much that is?"Julein shook his head. "I don't usually drink Oskian alcohol, so I'm not too sure…""Come on," Charlie chuckled. "We're not asking if you know—we're just asking you to take a guess.""Then…" Julien quickly said. "I'm guessing, three thousand?""Three thousand?" Raymond chuckled and shook his head. "That's way too flattering. It's around 7 USD.""Seven bucks?!" Julien exclaimed, and he blurted, "You usually drink something that cheap, Mr. Cole?""Well, not stateside," Raymond smiled. "But I liked it after I ordered one from a diner yesterday. It's cheap, and it has quality."Julien gulped as he stared at his own cup filled to th
Julien flinched and promptly threw his hands up. "No, no, no… please don't say that, Mr. Wade! That's not what I mean—as a son, it's only right that I hope my father lives long and prospers. Why wouldn't I want him to?"Charlie pointed out, "Then why'd you say that I've screwed you over repeatedly?""Oh. I, uh…" Julien wasn't sure how to respond to that, and he groaned unhappily, "I was not being mindful with words. I take that back…" Charlie nodded. "Then, I'll give you another chance.""Huh?" Julien was left confused, and he quickly asked, "Another chance… for what?"Charlie clapped him on the shoulder again, smiling, "We're old friends, aren't we? Why would I screw you over? Anyway, your turn."Julien was left utterly aggrieved as he read through Charlie's intention—that was precisely the definition of screwing him over!If his father knew he had come to Aurous Hill to hang out with these two, especially Biden Cole, he would definitely be removed as heir! And yet, Charlie
Having seen a sliver of the common folk's plight, Julien turned back to the journey at hand.Soon, his MPV arrived at Aurous Hill's Antique Street.As it was closing hours, the place appeared bleak, almost as though it had been completely abandoned. It was only during opening hours and the few hours before closing that the place became most alive anyway.Most of the time, the vendors and employees outnumbered the guests, and during closing hours, it would get very quiet. One wouldn't even find strays here as there weren't scraps around.Still, Julien had no idea what the hell the place was, even as he arrived outside Treasure Measure following the location Charlie had sent.Once he was sure he was at the right place, he called Charlie, immediately sounding respectful and flattering, "I'm here, Mr. Wade. If you don't mind opening the door…""Alright, just hang on," Charlie said and put down the phone while turning to Raymond, who was putting the food on a folding table, "Our frien
The lawyer then finished, "To be honest, cases of regretting a donation and seeking a lawsuit to get the money back? Law firms usually won't even get one per year, and that makes it especially newsworthy for the press."Also, court records are always public. That means anyone can access the verdict, and there's no hiding anything. So, if you want the lawsuit, you'd better be prepared."Jacob was already left in despair.All he wanted was to get his money back, but he didn't think that it would end up as public knowledge.And Mr. Bay had just told him over the phone that he would try to quell the scandal's pressure and try his best to protect Jacob's place as vice president.If Jacob's name was suddenly mentioned in a lawsuit attempting to reclaim an 'accidental' donation, even Mr. Bay couldn't save him at that point.Hence, after thinking long and hard about it, Jacob realized that he was not getting his 300 thousand back.The thought crushed him, and he burst into tears, "What
At this hour, most of the employees at Talbot Associates had already left.However, there were several lawyers who had just finished a meeting regarding a certain case, and they were just leaving when Jacob arrived.Seeing that they were packing up their bags and ready to leave, he asked, "Excuse me, are you still able to take cases?"The leader smiled, "Yes, but it's a little late now. Why don't you come again tomorrow morning?"Jacob shook his head impatiently. "This is very urgent—please help me and hear me out, then see if it will work. 300 thousand banks on this, so I'll give you twenty percent whether or not I get it back!"300 thousand was really neither here nor there.However, if it were an easy civil case, that twenty percent commission would still mean sixty thousand.The lawyer thought about it. "Fine. Tell us what your problem is, and we will assess the situation first. If it's easy, we can give you a general strategy right now. But if it proves difficult, we'll hav
The cabbie nodded. "Well, Talbot Associates, it is! They're said to be number two."-While Jacob was heading off to consult a law firm, Charlie was calling Julien Rothschild over the phone.The manchild had just had room service and was lounging on the couch, fiddling with his phone.After visiting the kennels with Charlie, he had been idling his days away at the hotel, waiting for Salem and his son to post that video of them being out at sea.Once that was done, Julien would return to the States, once more the heir apparent of the Rothschilds. Still, it was boring to simply lounge around in the hotel, and he would really like to strengthen his ties with Charlie.However, he was also afraid of being too forward as Charlie could be intimidating, and he could upset him—just like a fan eager to get close to their idol but was still worried about their idol getting disgusted with them.As such, he never expected Charlie to call him, and he immediately answered eagerly, "Good even
