Chapter 313: Fallen Down!
last update2025-01-14 22:42:54

Although what Charlie wanted most right now was to find a way to turn the situation around, defeat the Delacroix family, and get the Enigma Group back up and running, the most pressing issue at the moment was meeting his basic needs. Filling his stomach and then finding a place to shelter from the scorching sun and rain.

Charlie had already spent the remaining five million on Estella’s hotel stay. He didn’t even have enough money to eat.

“We need to find a way to borrow some money first,” Charlie muttered.

After that, Charlie took out his phone and called several bosses in Babylon City. All these bosses had been introduced to Charlie by Ornell during the banquet.

Charlie called several times in a row, but the result was the same. None of them answered his calls.

“The last time at the banquet, they praised me and made all sorts of promises. Now that the Enigma Group has fallen, they won’t even answer my calls!” Charlie shook his head and let out a deep sigh.

    “Gun!”“He has a gun!” When the beggars saw the gun in Charlie’s hand, the expressions on their faces changed immediately. Charlie pulled the trigger of the gun in his hand. Boom! Charlie shot the short beggar right in the shoulder. “Ah!” the short beggar cried out in pain. Some of the beggars beside him were so terrified that they quickly knelt down. “Sorry, we’re sorry! We were wrong! Please hit us, but don’t shoot!” They begged for mercy. “Get out of here!” Charlie growled in annoyance. Another beggar carried the injured short beggar and fled. As soon as they left, Dario ran out from the heavy rain.“Charlie, did you just fire your gun?” Dario looked surprised. “Yeah. Some dogs tried to bite me,” Charlie said, narrowing his eyes. “Fortunately, there are no lights here. They shouldn’t be able to see your face clearly. We need to leave quickly. We can’t stay here any longer. If they call the police, it will be a hassle!” Dario said.“Yeah!” Charlie nodded

    The next moment.Click1After Arvid touched the tissue, his fingers accidentally pressed against the tissue he was holding. In an instant, thick phlegm was on his fingers. Not only was it sticky, but it also clung to his hand and wouldn’t come off.Drrmmmm!Arvid suddenly felt something in his stomach rising quickly. He immediately pushed Maria away and ran to the toilet. Hoeekkk! Arvid vomited in the toilet. Finally, what had been forcing its way out was successfully expelled. In the end, Arvid used hand sanitizer and washed his hands several times before leaving the toilet.“Arvid, what just happened to you? I was so worried,” Maria hurriedly asked. Seeing Maria in front of him, Arvid’s mood became complicated and hard to explain. Oh God, Arvid had to marry this woman and sleep in the same bed with her! Just thinking about this made Arvid feel like he was dying!However, he didn’t dare ruin their wedding plans. He also didn’t want to make Maria angry. The reason was simple: the Ha

    “Thanion, don’t say that. If you hadn’t tried your best to protect me and Charlie, we wouldn’t still be standing in front of you!” Ornell said.This time, Charlie and Ornell were alive, and they could safely and healthily stay outside; it was all thanks to Thanion’s desperate efforts to protect them.“The Enigma Group, which fought hard all its life, is no more. Honestly, I…” After Ornell said this, his voice slightly choked.Charlie could imagine that Ornell must have suffered much more than he did. The reason was simple: Ornell had dedicated his entire life to the Enigma Group. He had even regarded it as his own child. “Ornell, I don’t know how long my body will last. After I die, the Delacroix family’s last worries will disappear. Then you and Charlie will be in danger. Follow my advice. Go out of the province or go abroad!” Thanion emphasized his words. “I’ll consider it.” Ornell nodded in agreement. After visiting Thanion, Charlie and Ornell walked outside the hospital.

    Charlie followed the doctor into his office. “The patient is in the advanced stage of liver cancer. In addition, the patient is under significant stress, which has left him in shock. Although he is now receiving treatment, the cancer has progressed to a point where medication alone cannot cure him. The patient has an estimated lifespan of about one month,” the doctor explained. “Cancer... cancer!” Charlie’s face turned pale, and his body slumped weakly onto the chair he was sitting in. It felt as if a heavy stone had struck his head.Charlie felt as if the sky was dark, collapsing, and falling onto him. This reality felt suffocating, far more suffocating than the collapse of the Enigma Group. To Charlie, Ornell was like a great mountain and a tall tree in his life. But at this moment, Charlie felt that the mountain had collapsed and the tree had fallen right in front of him. “Doctor, is there no way to cure him?” Charlie asked, his teeth clenched in anxiety. “The patient’s a

    “Okay!” Hundreds of men dressed in black behind Varyn rushed forward, leaving a dozen to protect Varyn. “Black Widow, face Dario!” Varyn commanded again. Black Widow nodded and quickly rushed toward Dario. Black Widow’s movements were incredibly fast, closing the distance to Dario in an instant and then engaging him in combat. Although this Black Widow wasn’t as strong as Dario, she still possessed considerable strength. Holding Dario off for a while was not a problem for her. “Damn it! Get out of the way!” Dario shouted angrily, unleashing all his power, but it took him a moment to defeat Black Widow. After Black Widow grappled with Dario, other men in black hurried toward Charlie and Ornell. “Bastards!” Seeing hundreds of men in black rushing closer, Charlie clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth. He was angry but helpless.Charlie knew that he and Ornell would suffer today due to Varyn’s retaliation. Especially since Ornell was in a severe state of illness

    If Edgar hadn’t arrived in time, the fate of Ornell and Charlie would have been unimaginable. Therefore, this hatred and anger could only be channeled by killing Varyn!Varyn shivered in fear upon hearing those words, his face turning pale as he tried to contain his terror.“No! You can’t kill me! I’m a member of the Redwyne family, you have nothing now. If you kill me, it will be the same as offending my father. You’ll be finished!” Varyn screamed hysterically. “A man used to walking barefoot will never fear wearing shoes. I may have nothing now, so what do I have to fear? After killing you, I’ll leave this place. You can come after me for revenge if you wish!” Charlie said coldly.“What?” Varyn trembled. At that moment, Dario had already brought a gun into his hands. “Brother Charlie, the gun!” Dario handed the gun to Charlie. Charlie pointed the gun directly at Varyn’s head. “No, no, no! Charlie! Please… forgive me!” Varyn trembled in terror. Cold sweat dripped down h

    “It’s all set. Grandpa, please, just listen to me this one time, alright?” Charlie looked at Ornell seriously.“Charlie, I can’t feel at ease letting you go to the capital alone!” Ornell was still worried about Charlie.“Grandpa, trust me! If you agree to undergo recovery, I will definitely succeed. After that, I will reclaim the Enigma Group for you and destroy the Delacroix family! You must wait until that day comes!” Charlie’s eyes flashed with determination.“Yes, I will wait for that day to come,” Ornell smiled and nodded slowly.Ornell hoped he could live long enough to see that day. Even if he met his end, at least he could go peacefully.Shortly after, the car turned and headed towards the city of San Fecero. The Cloud Temple was located in San Fecero, and Charlie planned to take Ornell there first before heading to the capital.Meanwhile, at the Redwyne family villa, the guard who had fled reported the news of Varyn’s murder to Calyrex.“What?! My son, he…” Upon hearing the

    Charlie’s eyes were slightly moist as he thought about the possibility of parting ways with his grandfather, perhaps never to see him again. The thought made his heart feel as if it were being pricked.Soon after, Charlie and Dario got out of the car they were in.“Edgar, go.” Charlie waved to Edgar. Edgar nodded, then started the car and drove off.Charlie glanced and saw a Ford Mondeo parked by the roadside, with the driver sitting inside, busy with his phone.“Dario, get the driver out!” Charlie said. Dario nodded, then hurried forward and yanked the door open, pulling the driver out of the car. “Hey, what are you doing?!” The driver, yanked out of the car, looked confused. “I’m buying your car.” Charlie said as he took off his Omega watch from his wrist. “This Omega watch is worth more than your car. Surely this is more than enough to buy your car. You can sell the watch and replace it with a Ferrari or Lamborghini. You won’t lose out.” Charlie pushed the watch into the

    In front of the Blood Red Sword, the head of the Core Virtual-level guard was sliced off as easily as cutting through a watermelon.“Thud!”The guard’s head was instantly severed and fell to the ground, now detached from its body.In the blink of an eye, the guard was dead. He didn’t even have time to comprehend what was happening before his life was snuffed out.One move, and death came swiftly!Another one fell from the eight guards of the Harrington family.Fresh blood dripped onto the Blood Red Sword.Upon witnessing this, all the members of the Harrington family nearby were thrown into chaos.They never imagined that the head of one of their guards would be decapitated with just one strike. It was terrifying!“This person is clearly a cultivator at the Core Virtual level as well. Why is he so strong?”“My god, this is truly unimaginable. How could Claus be killed so easily?”The members of the Harrington family stared at Charlie in disbelief.Before Charlie made his move, they th

    “Alwi, who are those three people?” Erika asked. “As far as I know, the leader is named Charlie. He’s a big businessman in the San Ancayne region who has an unusual relationship with Susilo. I don’t know what kind of luck he got, but suddenly he became a Virtual Core-level cultivator. He also has a grudge against the Harrington family,” Alwi explained.“Hmm, those three are still at the Virtual Core level, yet they dare to challenge the Harrington family? They must be overconfident in their abilities. What’s the difference between this and walking into death?” Erika said with a mocking tone. They were all cultivators. When Charlie, Dario, and Edgar released their energy, Alwi and Erika could sense that they were at the Virtual Core level. “These three are really reckless. Even if I wanted to take revenge on the Harrington family, I wouldn’t dare act rashly, especially since they’re only at the Virtual Core level,” Alwi shook his head. In their eyes, this was equivalent to walking

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

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

    The viewers eagerly discussed the matter. At the same time, they praised the greatness of Huxley Pierce’s Father. They were curious about his identity. At Lydia’s house. 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
