“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

    “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

    “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.

    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

    “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

    “Alright.” Felixa could only nod in agreement.Gemma glanced at Charlie again, sneering and whispering, “What a country bumpkin. You’re eating French food with chopsticks! You’ll make people laugh when they see you! It’s so embarrassing to share a table with you!”Charlie smiled. “Why should I be embarrassed?”“We have our own eating habits, and the French have theirs. I respect their dining customs, so why should I learn their way of eating just to show off?” Charlie replied indifferently.“A country bumpkin is still a country bumpkin! You don’t even know how to use Western utensils, so there’s no need to make excuses to cover it up,” Gemma sneered again.The meal was consumed hastily.Because Charlie ordered everything on the menu, Rylee felt hurt when it came time to pay the bill. However, she pretended not to care, showing that she was indeed capable of paying this time. Despite her act, she harbored a deep resentment towards Charlie for causing her to spend so much money.After l

    Felixa covered her mouth and chuckled quietly, knowing that the card Charlie handed over would undoubtedly complete the payment.At that moment, a store employee rushed over, accompanied by the store manager, both wearing radiant smiles on their faces. “Sir, the payment has been successfully completed. Here is the receipt.”The employee respectfully returned the card to Charlie.“What?”Upon hearing this, Rylee and Gemma’s smiles instantly disappeared, replaced by sheer shock. “Payment successful? How is that possible! He’s just a poor guy; how could he afford four Ferraris? There must be a mistake! Are you joking?”Gemma grabbed the employee to question him further, unable to believe it. Her tone sharpened due to the dread in her heart.“We would never joke about something like this. The payment amount is 34 billion. The receipt is with this gentleman,” the employee stated confidently.“34 billion?! He actually paid it?”Gemma’s face turned pale, and she almost fainted.Rylee col

    On the other side.Since Felixa came over for the weekend and had classes to attend the next day, Charlie took her back to the city of San Setillo.By the time they arrived in San Setillo, it was already 8 PM. After dropping Felixa off, Charlie drove straight to Estella’s house.Lately, Charlie had been spending more time working in the city of Hellion, which made Estella staying in San Setillo feel less appropriate.Charlie decided to bring her to Babylon City, so he wouldn’t need to find a new secretary. At Estella’s house entrance, the door quickly opened after Charlie knocked a few times. However, it wasn’t Estella who caught his attention—it was her younger sister, Esme. Even without makeup, Esme looked even more beautiful compared to when she used to wear heavy makeup. She was indeed a cute and charming girl.Maybe because she was at home, Esme was dressed in casual, somewhat revealing loungewear, making certain “assets” quite visible.“Brother Charlie, I missed you!” When

    After enjoying their drinks at the bar, Charlie asked, “Salvino, how have you been lately? Are you okay?”“Just fine. Dad just got out of the hospital. With the money you gave us last time, we were able to buy a house and move. Dad will use that money to open a big supermarket!” Salvino explained.“That’s great to hear,” Charlie nodded happily. Seeing his friend have a good life made Charlie feel pleased too.“Hey, I have to thank you. If it weren’t for you, my dad and I wouldn’t be living like this. It would have been even more impossible for me to drive a Ferrari! I’ll toast to you again!”Salvino raised his glass to toast with Charlie. Charlie also lifted his glass and clinked it against Salvino’s. After that, Charlie asked with a smile, “How’s the Ferrari?”The Ferrari he got from Drake had been given to Salvino by Charlie.“The sensation of driving a Ferrari is just amazing, hehe!” Salvino beamed with happiness.“Haha, let’s toast again.” The two glasses clinked again.“Oh right,

What’s there to be afraid of?!” Edgar said loudly.Charlie’s heart trembled when he heard Edgar’s words, and his nose wrinkled in discomfort.“Goodness, the wind is so strong, sand got into my eyes,” Charlie rubbed his eyes, which were slightly red.With a sibling like Edgar, Charlie had no regrets in his life.After rubbing his eyes, Charlie said, “Okay, Edgar. But you have to promise me, if we don’t succeed, you have to find an opportunity to escape.”Charlie knew Edgar was determined to join him.Charlie thought carefully. If, in the end, he couldn’t save Silvia, Charlie would sacrifice his life to cover Edgar’s escape, giving him a chance to flee.“As long as Kak Charlie allows me to leave, I will do as you say,” Edgar responded.“Okay, let’s go,” Charlie nodded enthusiastically.At that moment, an SUV drove up to

    “This is not your fault. Even if you realized it, with the power of the Harrington family, you wouldn’t be able to stop them,” said Charlie.“Charlie, what should we do now?” Dario asked, panic in his voice.“Go to the Harrington family’s residence and save Silvia!” Charlie said firmly.“Charlie, don’t go there recklessly. If you go alone to the Harrington family, you will definitely die!” Dario said seriously.“Of course I know the danger. But you know me. I can’t not go. If you were in danger right now, I’d still enter that fiery hole to save you,” Charlie said seriously.Dario, who was on the other end of the phone, nodded. He certainly knew this about Charlie.“I understand, Charlie. But you shouldn’t go alone to the Harrington family’s residence to save Silvia. It’s better for us to go to the Cloud Temple and ask for help from Xiao. If Priest Xiao agrees to come with us, we would have a better chance of saving Silvia,” said Dario.“Why didn’t I think of this?” Charlie’s eyes lit

    Upon hearing this, Sivert’s expression froze.“Mr. Donald, you… you can’t do this. I offended that rich man because I followed your orders. You can’t just abandon me!” Sivert said in panic.“Not my problem! Don’t drag me into this mess. Even if TikTok goes bankrupt, it has nothing to do with me,” Donald sneered.“Beep beep.” The call was abruptly disconnected.“Crash!”“You bastard!”Sivert furiously threw his phone onto the floor.“Donald, that damn bastard is utterly shameless. Helping him has landed me in trouble. Now he’s just walking away like it’s nothing!” Sivert gritted his teeth in rage.Though consumed by anger, Sivert was helpless. Donald held immense power in the capital. With Donald indifferent and walking away, there was nothing Sivert could do.“Mr. Sivert, Mr. Donald is a scoundrel with no compassion. It’s no surprise he doesn’t care and simply walks away,” Mattis said.“What do we do now? This is killing me!” Sivert looked panicked.“Mr. Sivert, the only solution now

    At that moment, Sivert suddenly remembered that the IP address of Huxley Pierce’s Father was located in the San Ancayne province.“Huxley Pierce’s Father. That’s it, it must be him!”Sivert shouted, his eyes wide with realization. The veins in his neck bulged visibly.He recalled the harsh words Huxley Pierce’s Father had once said about destroying Tiktok. Back then, Sivert hadn’t taken the threat seriously, even mocking him.It seemed now that Huxley Pierce’s Father had been serious and was acting quickly.“That’s right, Mr. Sivert. I also suspect that all of this is Huxley Pierce’s Father’s doing,” Mattis said.“It looks like we underestimated his capabilities,” Sivert muttered, gritting his teeth.“Mr. Sivert, the only solution is to contact Huxley Pierce’s Father immediately, apologize, and beg him to fix everything,” Mattis suggested in a panic.“That’s all we can do.” Sivert nodded, looking powerless.In San Setillo City.At that moment, Charlie was dining with Salvino and Yanis

Lydia turned on her computer and discovered that TikTok had been hacked. When Lydia saw the message “TikTok, you will bear the consequences!” displayed on the internet, she immediately thought of Huxley Pierce’s Father. Now, Lydia also saw many news reports about streamers changing jobs in TikTok’s internal streamer group, and they were all core TikTok streamers. This left Lydia very shocked. “Last night, he said he would take revenge on TikTok. I didn’t expect him to actually do it. Who is he really?” Lydia gazed out the window. TikTok’s unfair judgment made Lydia feel sad. Seeing TikTok being destroyed today made the sadness in her heart lessen. Lydia knew that Huxley Pierce’s Father was helping her. She was very curious why someone who had never met her would help her like this. At this moment, Vina, Lydia’s

    At this moment, a name suddenly crossed the mind of the TikTok boss.“It can’t be Huxley Pierce’s Father, can it?” the TikTok boss exclaimed in shock.He was reminded of the general manager telling him last night that the local tyrant was going to ruin him.The general manager suddenly nodded, “That’s very likely.”“Hah, why would it matter if he attacks our stocks? It might cause us to drop in the short term, but we’re doing well in the live streaming battle right now. Our stocks will definitely rise again in the long term. Just look at how much he can spend trying to take us down. A 100-billion stock drop is nothing, we can still hold on.” The TikTok boss scoffed.At this moment, the company’s program department supervisor rushed into the room.“Sir, the system has been hit by a massive network wave. Now, both the app and website are completely down!” the supervisor said excitedly.“What? What have you been doing? Fix it, quickly! Now our stocks are under attack, if the network syst
