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
“It’s okay. I’m stronger than most people. Besides, the bullet that pierced my body has been successfully removed. No need to worry, Charlie. Today, I’m getting ready to leave the hospital. That way, I can protect you again.” As he spoke, Dario uncovered his blanket, trying to get up from the bed.Seeing this, Charlie immediately gently pushed him back to lying down. He didn’t want his bodyguard to move too much.“Dario, just rest well here. Later, when you’re fully recovered, we can talk again.”“But...”“Are you worried that there’s no one to protect me?” Charlie smiled. He could guess.“I’ve assigned Edgar to replace you temporarily. Although he’s not as strong as you, he’s capable of taking on this responsibility. Your only task now is to get better.”Dario sighed resignedly yet relieved. He knew Edgar’s skills. The man could definitely take over his duties temporarily. “Alright. I’ll follow what you say,” he said while nodding.“By the way, about the conflict with Arvid...” Dario
The day after passing the selection test, Estella started working at this company.So far, she had always been by Charlie’s side and performed her duties well as a secretary, both when inside the company and when meeting clients outside. Moreover, her work was meticulous and diligent. She was also not afraid to face difficulties.Charlie shifted his gaze from the document in his hand to Estella. His lips curved into a warm smile. Working with Estella every day made him know the woman well.“Estella, your work has been excellent all this time. Earlier, you told me that you weren’t that good, prone to making mistakes. Where? Nonsense. You’re too modest.”Hearing the praise made Anni smile shyly.For Estella, Charlie played a significant role in changing her life. In her heart, she was always grateful. Since she started working at Enigma Enterprises, her mother had always boasted about her to relatives, friends, and even neighbors.“Oh, yeah. You used to tell me, didn’t you, that your yo
“Who?!”After Charlie knocked on the door, a voice replied from inside. At the same time, the door of the room slowly opened ajar.Creak!Without hesitation, Charlie forcefully kicked the door open wide.“Come in!”Upon Charlie’s command, Edgar and the other bodyguards immediately entered the room.Inside the room.It was still half past four. However, there were already more than ten people sitting at a table and eating.“Who are you!?”A woman stood up from her seat at the main chair and yelled at Charlie with glaring eyes. Judging from her appearance and heavy makeup, she was definitely the head of this place. The MLM boss.“Sister! Finally, Sister has come!” A young man in another seat stood up enthusiastically. His eyes sparkled at Jessica’s arrival. He must be her brother. However, as soon as he stood up, two men beside him pressed him to sit back down.Seeing her brother there made Jessica flustered. “Charlie, please save my brother quickly,” she pleaded while reaching for the
After hearing the story from his sister, Jessica’s younger brother immediately thanked Charlie. “I’m really grateful to you, Brother Charlie. Thanks to you, I could get out of that place. By the way, my name is Lionel,” Lionel said with a wide smile.Charlie returned the smile. “No need to thank me. I just helped your sister,” he replied, trying to reassure Lionel not to be too hesitant.Seeing Charlie’s kindness, Lionel couldn’t resist asking what was on his mind. “Sister, Brother Charlie is so kind to you. Is he... your future husband?”Lionel’s ridiculous question left Jessica speechless. She gave her brother a sharp look. This kid was unbelievable!“What do you mean! We’re just high school friends. Don’t talk nonsense!” Jessica retorted.Lionel gave her a mischievous look. “Hehe... To help you, Sister Jessica, Charlie was willing to enter the lion’s den. Where else can you find such a good man? You should appreciate him.”“Hey, brat. What are you saying? Do you even know who Char
“I can give you the money you want. But, I can’t hand back these people,” Charlie stated firmly. Whatever happened, he would never abandon those unfortunate individuals.“This is not a negotiation! If you don’t want to, then fine. You’ll all die!”The tattooed man then commanded, “Everyone! Raise your weapons!”The tattooed man raised his machete, followed by all his subordinates. They were ready to attack Charlie.In this city, no one dared to cause trouble with Yaheem. If anyone dared to mess with his business, he wouldn’t let them go. If they did escape, where would they hide? They might even dare to revolt against him.Before the tattooed man came to confront Charlie, Yaheem had already warned sternly that those who had been successfully captured should not be released at all. If necessary, punish those who had fled.“Wait a minute!” Charlie raised his hand in a sign of dissent.The first plan had failed. There was no other way but to launch the second plan.“I will tell you somet
“Damn! Why is this happening to me?” Charlie couldn’t help but curse.If he still had his staff, he would have had the confidence to face the enemy in front of him. But now, the man was weaponless. It was impossible for him to fight empty-handed, especially when his enemy wielded a machete.Charlie gritted his teeth, racking his brain for a way to escape. Then, an idea struck him.“Wait a moment!” he exclaimed to the bandit.“What if you set us free? I’ll give each of you two billion,” he offered. If the predicament could be solved with money, then that would be ideal.Hearing this, his enemy laughed sarcastically.“You want to bribe criminals?” The man understood perfectly well that Yaheem had ordered him to decapitate Charlie. After that, he would be rewarded handsomely and promoted. But if Yaheem found out he had let Charlie go, he would be dead.The man still cared about his own life. Therefore, he chose to kill Charlie so he could claim the reward and not worry about his own life
“Jessica, you... don’t argue with me! Hurry, run! I’ll slowly follow you from behind, don’t wait for me!” Charlie looked extremely exhausted.Charlie knew he couldn’t walk fast anymore. If they continued at this slow pace, the people chasing them would quickly catch up.With Charlie’s condition making it impossible for him to walk fast, Jessica and Lionel had to slow down their movements for Charlie.Therefore, Charlie wanted them to escape first.Hearing Charlie’s words, Jessica burst into tears.“Charlie, don’t joke! You came to the city of San Fecero to help me. This is all my fault, how could I leave you alone? No! I can’t! Even if I have to die here, I won’t leave you!” Jessica cried loudly.Jessica cried bitterly because she blamed herself. She knew Charlie was here and experiencing injuries and exhaustion like this solely to help her.Lionel also chimed in, “I agree! Brother Charlie, you came to the city of San Fecero to help my sister save me. How could we leave you alone to e
