“Sir, sorry!”The two female waitresses reached out their hands to stop Charlie and the two people with him.“Sir, sorry, the place is full,” said the waitress.“If the VIP section is full, then the VVIP section it is,” said Charlie calmly.“Sir, the VVIP section is also full,” the waitress said again.“Well, aren’t there plenty of empty VVIP tables? How can there be no space?” Charlie glanced into the restaurant, finding many empty tables still available.“Sir, all the tables have been reserved!” said the waitress.“So many tables, all reserved? How is that possible!” Charlie shook his head, not believing it at all.“Sir, then let’s be frank. Our restaurant is upscale, the prices are high. You might not be able to afford it. It’s better if you go to another restaurant,” said the waitress.Another waitress said, “Sir, across the street, there’s Wallace Restaurant, maybe it’s more suitable for you. Our Restaurant isn’t for poor people.”“Poor people? So you’re afraid we can’t afford it
“Arvid, I have to go home. You don’t need to offer me anymore,” Lydia refused again.“Well... in that case, I’ll take you home!” Arvid said with a wide smile.Lydia repeatedly declined. Therefore, Arvid felt uncomfortable forcing her again. He still wanted to maintain his image in Lydia’s heart.“No need to bother, Arvid. I’ll just take an online taxi.”After Lydia finished speaking, she turned around and walked out of the restaurant.As Lydia left the room, Arvid’s face instantly darkened.Although Lydia agreed to eat with Arvid, her mood wasn’t very good during their meal together. No matter what topic was discussed, Lydia remained indifferent to him.This made him a little angry. After all, he was a great guy. How many great women had pursued him and wanted to be his girlfriend?“Lydia, why are you so arrogant towards me? Before I return to the military, I will definitely win you over!” Arvid exclaimed with a grim face....Hotel parking lot.Arvid walked towards his car.Suddenly,
Charlie felt something was off. If they were employees of that company, they should know Charlie. When they met Charlie, they should greet him, right?But they didn’t do that.“Are you... employees of Enigma Enterprises?” Charlie couldn’t help but ask.As soon as Charlie said this, all the girls looked at him simultaneously.However, they all just glanced at Charlie. Then they turned their faces away and ignored Charlie.Charlie couldn’t contain his discomfort. How dare they ignore him! They didn’t even give him a decent glance!After that, a girl wearing formal work attire said, “We’re here to apply for the secretary position. Yesterday we passed the first test. Today we’ve come for the second stage.”All the other girls were dressed nicely and seductively, but only the girl who answered Charlie’s question was dressed very formally and politely. Very different from the other girls.Besides, of course, this girl was also beautiful. It’s just that the other girls had their faces made u
“Hahaha!”The other six girls covered their mouths to stifle their laughter. They were laughing at Estella.“By the way, you’re Estella Swartz, right? Do you know that you’re late?” The examiner stared at her.“Yes, Mr. Examiner. I’m Estella Swartz. The elevator was overloaded earlier. So, I gave my place to others. Then I ran up the stairs. So... that’s why I arrived late,” she replied, panting.“Don’t make excuses, being late is being late. Are you sure if you become an employee tomorrow, you won’t be late? Just leave. You failed the advanced exam!” the examiner said, waving his hand at her.“Mr. Examiner, please give me one more chance!” Estella Swartz pleaded.“I can’t. The work environment is strict. Go away!” The examiner waved at her.After Estella bowed to the examiner, she could only turn around and walk out disappointed.Estella thought that after she explained, the examiner would understand. But it turned out she was too optimistic.The other six girls in the room, who were
“Let me help. What can I do to help?” Estella suddenly stood up and walked up to Charlie.Charlie looked at her, smiling, and said, “Miss, there’s no benefit in helping me. Are you really willing to help?”“It’s okay, besides, this isn’t heavy. I often do household chores.” she smiled at Charlie.“In that case, you use this mop first, I’ll get another one.” Charlie handed the mop to Estella Swartz.The red-haired woman, Leli, who witnessed this couldn’t hold back a smile. “Miss, weren’t you almost disqualified earlier because of this kid, and now you’re helping him? Haven’t you learned from experience?”“Exactly, aren’t you afraid of getting into trouble again? What’s the point of bothering to help a miscellaneous worker like him?” said another woman wearing a short skirt.Charlie wasn’t angry. Instead, he looked at them and said with a smile, “Is there anything else you’d like to help with?”Charlie asked them again, as if he was giving them another chance!“Don’t dream! You don’t de
They still couldn’t believe what was happening.Yes, God, the office boy they previously teased, turned out to be the CEO of Enigma Enterprises?Right now, they felt as if struck by lightning. It felt like being doused with a bucket of ice water from head to toe. Their whole bodies felt numb!Charlie slowly walked to the front of the room. Then he placed his hand behind his back and said slowly, “Allow me to introduce myself, I’m not an office boy. My name is Charlie, CEO of Enigma Enterprises. Although we’ve met twice before, this time I want to formally introduce myself!”The red-haired woman, Leli, and five other girls except for Estella, reconsidered what they had done to Charlie. It felt like they wanted to jump from the 100th floor.“You must be confused. Why did I do all that before? I’ll tell you, my purpose in doing that was to test all of you,” said Charlie casually.When they heard that, they finally understood.After that, Charlie stepped forward and walked towards the red
“Who told you to talk so much!” Arvid said cruelly after shooting.“Ah! Ah...”Rahil screamed in pain. His body fell to the floor. Red blood stained his pants.Dario fared a little better. After being shot, he could still stand. Dario could endure the pain. He didn’t scream. But there was still blood seeping from his pants.“Arvid! You bastard!”Seeing Arvid shoot, Charlie’s eyes filled with rage.Charlie felt like flaying Arvid alive right now.Charlie even thought he shouldn’t have shown mercy last night. He should have just killed Arvid right away. Even if the consequences were unimaginable. Or even if he had to risk his own life.“Charlie, there’s no use being mad at me. The only way is for you to kneel and beg to me!”“If not, when I press the trigger of this gun again, it won’t be their thighs I shoot, but their heads. I’ll count to three. After the third count, I’ll press the trigger of my pistol and shoot their heads!” Arvid said, laughing with mockery and threat.Three!Two!
Arvid laughed uproariously, “Alright! I, Arvid, will wait. You’re just garbage. Besides relying on your grandfather, what else do you have, huh? Still dreaming of revenge in the future? Dream on, haha! I, Arvid, also want to tell you that my business with you is not finished yet. Just wait, there will be a point where I will crush you until you’re completely destroyed!”“Take him away!”Mr. Labron waved his hand again. Arvid was immediately pushed and taken away.“Mr. Ornell, I will take this person back to the Provincial Capital first.” Mr. Labron said politely to Ornell.“Okay, just go ahead, I still want to talk to my grandson,” said Mr. Ornell.At that moment, a red car arrived.Lydia got out of the car. Coincidentally, Lydia crossed paths with Arvid who was about to be taken away.“Arvid, you... what’s going on?” Lydia looked puzzled seeing Arvid being held captive.Arvid’s face was disheveled. His embarrassing appearance was now seen by Lydia.“Lydia, I will come back for you, w
“Alright, I won’t say it again. Let’s have dinner. Today is the day my daughter returns; we’re going to have a feast!” Rylee said, not forgetting to wear a broad smile on her face. Immediately after that, Rylee turned to Felixa and said, “Felixa, you must have never been to a high-end restaurant, right? Auntie will take you to a high-end restaurant today so you can experience it!” Felixa just smiled awkwardly. When she was with Charlie, she had visited many high-end restaurants. However, she didn’t contradict her and merely nodded in agreement. Soon after, everyone left the house. At the front gate. “This is my BMW, which I use for shopping; get in,” Rylee still showed her arrogant demeanor. “Auntie, my boyfriend is also coming with his car, so I will go with him!” said Felixa. “Yes, the car next to us is mine,” Charlie pointed to his Volkswagen Phaeton. “Look at that Volkswagen; it’s even in terrible shape. Even though I don’t know much about cars, I know that a Volkswagen is
No One Believes!“Even though they didn’t lend me two hundred million at that time, they gave me four million. After all, we are still family,” said Felixa. “Alright, let’s go.” Charlie immediately pulled Felixa and walked toward the house. Ding-dong!After ringing the doorbell, the door quickly opened. What caught their attention was a middle-aged woman, dressed quite stylishly, adorned with a pearl necklace around her neck. “Aunt.” Felixa smiled, greeting the middle-aged woman who appeared in front of her. “Felixa, come in!” Rylee greeted her with a smile.Following Rylee’s invitation, Charlie and Felixa stepped into the villa. Rylee said as she walked ahead of them, “Felixa, my house is nice, isn’t it? There’s a small garden in the back too.” “Beautiful. You must have spent a lot of money on this house,” Felixa remarked.“Yes, about ten billion.” When Rylee answered, her tone was filled with pride and arrogance. Once they reached the living room, they saw a young woma
“News about Mr. Arvid Delacroix?”Arvid was a popular figure in the city of Hellion. When the reporters heard Arvid’s name, one by one, they followed Charlie. Charlie leaded the reporters to the break room next to the party venue.“Everyone, quickly listen to the noise coming from inside here.”“It sounds like a man and woman doing that.”The reporters could already hear the sounds coming from inside the break room, particularly the loud screams of a woman. Charlie took out his phone, presses the video recording button, and then waves his hand, “Dario, kick down the door!”Dario nodded and smiles, then immediately kicked the break room door.“Crash!”The door was kicked open, making a loud noise. Charlie lead Dario and several reporters along with a cameraman into the break room.What they see was an unpleasant sight. They saw Arvid engaging in that act with a middle-aged woman. Everyone watched intently. The middle-aged woman was overweight and unattractive.“Damn! That’s really Mr.
“How is that possible? How could I poison myself!”After finishing his words, Arvid took a swig of beer.“Arvid, you came here to toast with me. I’ve already finished my drink, and you’ve only had a sip? You’re being so insincere. Hurry up and finish it!” Charlie said with a smile.Several bosses nearby nodded in agreement.Arvid’s facial muscles twitched suddenly, as he knew exactly what was in that glass. Inside it was a double dose of an aphrodisiac. If Arvid really drank it, he would undoubtedly lose control at the party soon.Arvid froze for a few seconds.“I’m drinking!”“Clang!” Arvid slammed the glass to the floor. The red wine inside splattered everywhere. For Arvid, he came to toast with Charlie just to poison him. Now that the plan had failed, he no longer had to pretend to be nice to Charlie.Especially since this glass contained drugs. How could Arvid possibly finish it? “Upset? Arvid, I’m glad to see you upset!” Charlie smiled mischievously. “Charlie, we’ll wait an
“However, no matter which card you choose, you still have a 1 in 3 chance of winning. How can you have no chance at all?” Mira asked, confused.Charlie smiled and said, “That’s a good question, Mira. How can the chances of winning become non-existent? There’s only one possibility: by removing the King card and turning all three cards into Aces. That way, no matter how I flip the cards, I will definitely lose.”Ornell suddenly understood, “So, you chose to do the opposite? You didn’t flip the King card but instead flipped two Aces. Then you claimed that the leftmost card is the King?”“That’s right. If I’m not mistaken, the card I chose is actually an Ace. All three cards are Aces,” Charlie said with a smile.When Charlie explained this, everyone finally understood.“So that’s how it is. I told you that Arvid’s game couldn’t possibly be that simple. This is the truth! It’s truly a battle of intelligence and courage!”“Oh my, your grandson is incredibly smart, Mr. Ornell. Just by relyin
Charlie said while moving his hand and flipping over the card in the center. Everyone saw that the card was an Ace.Immediately after that, Charlie moved his hand and quickly flipped over the card on the right. Everyone leaned in closer and found that it was also an Ace.“Out of these three cards, two are Aces and one is a King. Since the cards in the center and on the right are both Aces, the card on the left that I picked must naturally be the King. We don’t need to flip it over again, do we?” Charlie asked with a smile.Arvid, who had initially been smiling, suddenly grew somber.“You... you....” Arvid’s face darkened. He spoke hesitantly.Arvid had already switched the King card. All three cards on the table were Aces. Arvid had instructed Charlie to flip the Aces. No matter how Charlie flipped the cards, he wouldn’t be able to reveal the King.However, Arvid did not expect that Charlie could counter his line of thought. Charlie flipped over the two Aces, then pointed to the last
“Everyone must want to meet Lyrican, the God of Gambling, right?” Arvid asked with a smile. The business and political giants surrounding the venue nodded their heads one by one. Magician Lyrican was very famous. Many of them had heard Lyrican’s name but had never met him. Now, they could see Lyrican in person. Of course, they wanted to witness the magician’s prowess.“Since this is a charity event, I’m going to hold a little game here. Everyone can play with Lyrican. All the money Lyrican wins will be donated to charity. If you win money from Lyrican, I will pay you,” said Arvid.At that moment, a waiter moved a table and brought a deck of playing cards.Anyway, the lost money would be donated to charity. Some gambling-savvy bosses came to play, and everyone enjoyed it.At this point, Arvid also pulled out a deck of playing cards and then looked at Charlie.“Charlie, are you brave enough to play with me? If you’re not, then I’ll just consider you a coward!” Arvid said with a confid
Arvid was surrounded by an extraordinary aura. Wherever he went, business tycoons and political giants smiled at him. After all, Arvid’s grandfather had a powerful identity. Coupled with Arvid’s own impressive abilities—he was once a member of the Special Forces Snipers and had won championships in military competitions—he embodied skill and honor. Arvid was a genius in the city of Hellion, with a promising future ahead.Arvid approached Charlie directly. In the blink of an eye, he stood before Charlie. They exchanged intense glares, as if an epic battle were about to commence. The onlookers could sense a strong smell of gunpowder in the air.“I heard that when Arvid first went to San Setillo City, he had a conflict with Charlie, Ornell’s grandson. It seems that’s indeed the case now.”“The Delacroix and Donovan families have never gotten along. With the animosity between them, the aura of conflict is palpable when Charlie and Arvid meet.”“It looks like we’re in for a good show after
Soon after, Mira grabbed Charlie’s arm and said, “Charlie is my boyfriend now. Varyn, I hope you won’t come near me again.”Mira did this to make Varyn angry.“You... you...” Varyn’s eyes were red with rage. He had pursued Mira for so long and had never touched her before. However, seeing Mira take the initiative to hug another man ignited his anger.“Charlie, you stole my woman!”An angry Varyn rushed forward and grabbed Charlie by the collar.“Varyn, do you want to hit me? Go ahead!” Charlie scoffed.Mira quickly shouted, “Varyn, are you crazy? Do you not know where you are? If you hit him here, it’s your father who will suffer the consequences!”Today’s charity event was organized by the provincial organization. Even though the Redwyne family was one of the four great families, they wouldn’t escape from trouble so easily.After hearing those words, Varyn released his grip on Charlie, but his face was still filled with reluctance.“Varyn, aren’t you angry? Then just vent your anger!
