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
Even though they had just returned to the city of San Setillo, today’s revenge would begin immediately!After speaking, Charlie turned and walked out of their hospital room.“Charlie, be careful!” Jessica shouted from behind Charlie as he walked away....After leaving the hospital, Charlie immediately began to plan his revenge!Enigma Enterprises building, CEO’s office.Charlie tried to contact Edgar’s phone, but it turned out to be inactive.“Damn it!”Charlie, unable to contain his anger any longer, punched the table hard. The coffee on the table shook from his blow.Although Charlie was reluctant to admit it, deep down he knew that Edgar might be dead...Thinking about this made Charlie’s heart uneasy. Edgar sacrificed himself to block the people chasing them.At this moment, Dario hurried into his room.“Charlie, are you okay?” Dario asked eagerly as he entered.“I’m fine, just minor injuries. It’s just that, the people I brought with me seem to be injured or even dead. I don’t k
“Seeking revenge in the city of San Fecero? Brother Charlie, count me in!” Edgar exclaimed quickly.“Edgar, you’re injured. It’s better for you to stay in the city of San Setillo and go to the hospital to treat your wounds. There are so many troops and banners accompanying us; we’ll be fine!” Charlie said, patting Edgar’s shoulder gently.“Brother Charlie, I’m fine. My body has recovered very well. You can see that my wound is almost healed,” Edgar raised his hand to show his wound.When Dario beside him saw the wound, he could only sigh, “Your wound healing power is incredible. How did this stab wound heal so quickly?”“Brother Charlie heard, right? Brother Dario said it’s okay. I also really want to avenge my fallen brothers and sisters,” said Edgar.“Alright then, let’s get into the car!” Charlie nodded in agreement.Edgar’s fighting prowess was truly formidable.At ten o’clock at night, the official convoy departed.In front was a black car containing Edgar, Dario, Noman, Alby, an
“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!
