When the guard eavesdropping outside the door heard Peter’s words, he turned around and went to report the situation to David.In the villa’s living room, Peter’s exact words on the phone while he was in the bathroom were relayed to David without missing a single word.After David listened to his guard’s report, he shook his head and sneered, “So it’s just about his mistress! Why all the secrecy? I thought it was something major!” Eleven o’clock at night.Five hundred meters outside the villa, Charlie, Dario, Edgar, Aspen, and four others were quietly observing from that distance. Alex, who was in charge of Enigma Security, was also present. “Brother Charlie, the Enigma Security team has around a thousand men. They’re ready at the perimeter. As soon as you give the command, they’ll move in immediately,” Alex said with a firm tone.Charlie nodded in understanding. “We’ve completed the preparations on this side. The most important place now is where Peter is. He needs to shut down
The expression on David’s face changed.Charlie continued speaking, “If you hadn’t fought me back then, you might not be where you are today. All of this is the consequence of your own mistakes!”“Charlie, can you let me go? As long as… as long as you are willing to let me go, I’ll give you half of my wealth, and then I’ll leave San Setillo City! How about that?” David said, his voice trembling.Although David was extremely reluctant to bow his head to Charlie and beg for mercy, it was the only option he had now.Charlie sneered, “If I had lost in the battle between the two of us, would you have let me go? I don’t think so.”Right after, Charlie turned to Edgar and said, “Edgar, Aspen, take him to the rooftop and drop him. Tomorrow’s morning paper in San Setillo City will report that the chairman of Visionary Group committed suicide because of his failed investments.”Upon hearing this, David’s expression drastically changed. His eyes radiated a mixture of anger, fear, and helplessnes
Soon after, Charlie turned his gaze to Peter.“Peter, because of you, I won’t make a big deal out of your son’s behavior. However, your son is really lacking in discipline. I hope you can teach him better in the future,” Charlie said indifferently.“Thank you, Mr. Charlie. It’s because I’ve spoiled him too much. I’ll be stricter with him from now on!” Peter bowed to Charlie.After that, Peter spoke cautiously, “Mr. Charlie, may we leave now?”“Wait a moment!”Charlie stood up and walked toward Peter.Seeing Charlie’s approach, Peter’s expression shifted slightly. He grew worried, a sense of fear rising in his mind. He feared Charlie might kill him and silence him. After all, he was a key figure under David.By now, Charlie was standing right beside him.“Mr. Charlie has promised. As long as I’m willing to cooperate, he will keep me and my son safe!” Peter thought, still speaking cautiously.Charlie smiled. “Why are you so nervous? I just want to give you this!”Charlie handed a bank
After Charlie and his grandfather’s call ended, Charlie silently calculated. The assets and resources under his control now included the San Setillo branch of Enigma Group, Enigma Security, Axiomix Corp, and Axiomix Investment Corp. He also controlled the San Fecero branches of Enigma Group and Enigma Security.The total assets in his hands amounted to no less than ten trillion! If he included undeveloped resources, such as the gold in Mount Ridge, the number would increase even further. This amount was truly unmatched in the city of San Setillo!In just a few months, Charlie had grown from nothing to this point. Besides the support from his grandfather, Charlie’s own efforts were inseparable from this achievement.Charlie turned to Alex. “Alex, there’s one more thing. You need to rename Enigma Security to Axiomix Security,” Charlie explained.“Understood!” Alex accepted the order enthusiastically. “Take over David’s territory in the coming days. There’s a lot to be done. You can go
“Of course! Of course!” Salvino could only smile and nod his head.Meline continued, “And also, you should choose your friends carefully. Take that poor guy sitting next to you. You don’t need to be friends with someone like him. He won’t be beneficial for you. Maybe in the future, he’ll be the one borrowing money from you.”After hearing this, Salvino’s face suddenly looked very displeasing. “Meline, what are you talking about?! Money can’t measure my friendship with Charlie. Do you understand?!” As Salvino said this, he stood up from his seat.Since Salvino fell in love with Greta, his friend Meline had always looked down on him. Whatever came out of her mouth always sounded unpleasant when it concerned Salvino. All this time, Salvino had tried to endure it. He felt that everything was okay as long as he and Greta loved each other. But Meline had already said something bad about Charlie. That was what made Salvino unable to remain silent.After Salvino said that, Vikus, who ha
“Yeah, let’s go up!” Salvino nodded in agreement.Even though Salvino didn’t know what Charlie meant, he chose to trust him completely.“Alright, let’s go up. I want to see how big this surprise is. If it’s not shocking enough, I will object to you staying with Greta!” Meline said, still sounding annoyed.Soon after, they all went up to the top floor of the building.As they ascended, Charlie took out his phone and sent a message.“The top floor is empty; where’s the gift? Why don’t I see it?” Vikus looked around, scanning the area. Salvino looked at Charlie nervously. After all, he hadn’t prepared any gifts on the roof.Boom!At that moment, right in front of the building, a loud sound of fireworks erupted suddenly!Boom!Beautiful fireworks continuously lit up the night sky in front of them, appearing far more stunning than ordinary fireworks.“Wow! Is this the surprise you prepared for me? This is so romantic!”Greta jumped for joy upon seeing the fireworks around her.“Yes, this
The next morning.The Nesva Hotel in San Setillo City was bustling. Today was the day for Charlie, a well-known figure in San Setillo, to hold a grand party. Although Charlie did not take the initiative to send out invitations, no boss in the San Setillo business community dared to miss the event.The hotel parking lot was filled with luxury cars. Big bosses were everywhere. A BMW was parked in the lot. Soon after, Vikus got out of the driver’s seat. Meline, Vikus’s girlfriend, also got out of the front passenger seat. Salvino and his girlfriend, Greta, got out of the back seat. Salvino initially didn’t want to come with Vikus and Meline. However, thinking about the fact that today was Charlie’s party, Salvino decided to join. He was curious about Vikus and Meline’s reaction upon seeing Charlie later.“Wow, there are so many luxury cars here. I’m dazzled!” Meline exclaimed, as if she had entered a strange new world she had never seen before.“Of course. Today is the gathering of the
“Allow me to introduce you all. This is my friend, his name is Efrain. His nickname is Salvino. You can all call him Salvino,” said Charlie through the microphone.“Hello, Mr. Salvino!”Everyone present stood up one by one and bowed to Salvino.“Hehe. Hello everyone! Hello everyone!”Salvino looked at the big bosses of San Setillo who called him ‘Mr.’ They all bowed to him. Salvino was so happy that his mouth was agape. He had never experienced such treatment before.“Pay close attention to him so that you all become familiar with him. If anyone disrespects my brother here, it’s the same as disrespecting me,” said Charlie.The bosses at the party nodded their heads one by one. They made an effort to remember Salvino’s appearance, so when they eventually met him, they could treat him politely and do their best not to offend him.After introducing Salvino, Charlie turned off the microphone. His gaze shifted to Greta. “Greta, my brother is a good man. If you both end up together, I will
