“1.2 trillion! I bid 1.2 trillion!”David, furious, immediately raised the price by 2 billion this time.1.2 trillion.Goodness. 1.2 trillion!The bosses present at the auction were stunned. The fantastic figure made their heads spin.Before the auction began, everyone speculated that there would be a ‘bloodbath’ at today’s land auction.However, no one expected the auction to reach this point.At this moment, Charlie suddenly stood up and looked at David, then said with a smile, “Okay. 1.2 trillion. This land is yours.”Immediately after, Charlie raised his head and looked up at the stage, saying to the host, “Mr. David bid 1.2 trillion. I don’t think anyone else will offer a higher price. Just knock the gavel.”“Oh. Alright!”The bewildered host hurriedly nodded after hearing Charlie’s words.“Tap.” Immediately after that, the host dropped the gavel and simultaneously announced loudly, “Lot number 12 in the development zone, with a bid of 1.2 trillion, belongs to Mr. David!”The pri
“Hush hush! “1.8 ... 1.8 trillion!”The bosses present at the auction took another breath after hearing that fantastic price.Even though they had already gone through previous bidding wars and prepared themselves, upon hearing the staggering figure of 1.8 trillion, their hearts raced even faster.Even in the provincial capital, it was difficult to find land prices as staggering as this.A price like this is enough to make someone the land king of the entire province.At the auction, there were many bosses with capital of less than 1.8 trillion.“1.8 trillion?”Charlie squinted his eyes and looked up at the stage. His gaze was complex.“Mr. David bids at a price of 1.8 trillion. 1.8 trillion once,” the auctioneer on stage shouted until his voice was hoarse, his face reddening.This auctioneer had often led auction events. However, he had never encountered such a staggering bid before.The total price was 1.8 trillion!“1.8 trillion twice! Is there anyone else who wants to bid higher t
As soon as the host spoke, everyone present began to discuss.“The first protected area is a treasure. It’s also close to the downtown core of San Setillo.”“It’s a shame this land is listed as a protected area prohibited from development in this province. Development has been banned for 50 years. There’s no point in buying it.”“Yes, if this piece of land could be developed, it would surely become a treasure. But unfortunately, development is prohibited, and it’s pointless to buy it.”“If I remember correctly, at last year’s auction, this piece of land was sold out, right?”Everyone whispered and voiced their thoughts.For the moment, no one bid. The atmosphere froze.A piece of land that couldn’t be developed, even at the lowest price of 100 billion, no one glanced at it.“Is anyone bidding for this protected area?” the host asked again.“100 billion!”A loud voice rang out.Everyone circulated their gaze following that voice and saw the person holding up the plaque to make the bid.
Of course, they weren’t envious because they knew that with their company’s capabilities, they couldn’t develop a project as large as that one.But David was different.“Why! Why! Why wasn’t I informed about this?!” David yelled in anger.If David knew that this piece of land could be developed, he would surely take it and try to get the land no matter what. Because its investment value was enormous.And because of that, was this treasure land easily acquired by Charlie for 100 billion?With this outcome, there was no doubt that Charlie was the biggest winner of today’s auction.“Mr. David, what do you say? The land I own is even better many times over than the two best pieces of land you obtained. I only spent 100 billion to get it, while you? 3 trillion!” Charlie said with a smile.“You... you... you!”David trembled with anger, his face looked grim, and it felt like he was about to explode now.“Do you want to know why? Then I’ll tell you. This land is indeed prohibited from develo
“I understand.”Charlie nodded, then promptly sat inside the car. The car slowly drove away from the hotel.***Inside the Donovan Family residence.Ornell sat on the sofa holding a tablet in his hands.The video playing on the tablet was the live broadcast of the auction in the city of San Setillo earlier.Currently, Ornell had watched the video to its conclusion.“This kid really made David so angry he fainted. Hahaha.” Ornell couldn’t hold back his laughter.The secretary also joined in laughing, saying, “Mr. Ornell, Mr. Charlie’s ability to adapt to the situation is extraordinary.”“Yes. Initially, I asked him to use the money to destroy David to death. However, he could react according to the situation in the field. Instead, he tricked David into spending 3 trillion. That kid is smart too.” Ornell’s face was full of joy.Charlie’s performance once again exceeded Ornell’s expectations. Ornell realized that the surprises Charlie gave him were increasing.At this point, the secretary
Underneath the dormitory of building 5, San Setillo University.A silver Audi A4 is parked there. In front of the Audi, a large heart-shaped decoration of red rose flowers is placed.In the midst of the heart-shaped rose bouquet stands a man wearing a suit.The man holds a bunch of roses made of hundred-thousand. In the middle, an ATM card is tucked in.Since the event took place beneath the girls’ dormitory, naturally, it caught the attention of many female students.“Oh, how romantic.”“Audi, roses, money. If someone confessed their love to me like this, I could wake up from a dream with a smiling face!”***Many female students who witnessed the event showed dumbfounded looks. Many naive students couldn’t resist the temptation of money.The face of the man in the suit standing amidst the heart-shaped roses is filled with confidence. He is confident in the way he’s doing things. Not many female students can resist. He believes he can win Felixa’s heart this way.At this moment, a be
The eyes of everyone in the place immediately turned to Charlie.Even though Charlie was dressed very casually, no one dared to underestimate him because he was driving a Lamborghini.However, nobody knew what Charlie’s purpose was for showing up in that sports car.Including Xavion, who was professing his love. He didn’t know either.“Charlie?”When Felixa saw Charlie, she was stunned.Felixa knew Charlie’s family. Although Charlie had previously said that he won hundreds of millions in the lottery, it was unlikely that he could afford a sports car just with the lottery money, right?Even though Felixa didn’t understand much about sports cars, she knew that they were very expensive.“Charlie! Finally, you’re here!”Upon seeing Charlie arrive, Salvino immediately welcomed him enthusiastically.“Salvino, who was confessing his love to Felixa?” Charlie asked.“That kid, Charlie!”Salvino pointed towards Xavion with his finger, then continued, “Charlie, that kid is crazy. Even though Fel
“Yeah. I’m the one who bought this car,” Charlie smiled, nodding his head.“This car... this car must be very expensive, right?” Felixa said.“It’s actually quite expensive. Just for the car itself, it costs 15 billion,” Charlie replied casually.“15 billion?”Felixa covered her mouth and widened her eyes in surprise upon hearing that figure. To Felixa, 15 billion was a fantastic number.Felixa didn’t understand much about cars. Although from the exterior appearance, Felixa could already guess that this was a very expensive car, she didn’t expect it to be that expensive.“Charlie, how... how do you have so much money? When we were at Lotus Garden Restaurant before. Buying Lotus Garden Restaurant must have been at a high price, right? Can you tell me the truth now?” Felixa said seriously.Felixa wasn’t someone who prioritized money. She wouldn’t like someone because of money. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have rejected Xavion, the guy with the Audi.However, Felixa didn’t want the person she
“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!
The news spread by Wendall, stating that the Goldmere Group had ended its cooperation with the Delacroix family and would stop pressuring the Enigma Group with discounts, quickly circulated throughout the company.Enigma Group’s office area on the second floor.“Mr. Charlie is truly amazing; he even managed to convince the Goldmere Family.”“Unbelievable! The Goldmere Family has never been open to compromise. I don’t know what Mr. Charlie did to make them agree to our requests!”“We underestimated Mr. Charlie’s capabilities! We have to admit that he is much stronger than Mr. Vernon.”After the company management heard the news, they were incredibly excited and rushed to share it with their colleagues. At the same time, they were also in awe of Charlie’s brilliance. He managed to resolve the issue swiftly.Evan, of course, heard this news as well.Inside Evan’s room. The tension was evident on Evan’s face.“Damn! Damn! How could this happen? Why did the Goldmere Family do this?” Evan
Shortly after that, Alwyne looked at Charlie and said, “Charlie, I will make the Goldmere Group stop collaborating with the Delacroix family and cease pressuring the Enigma Group through price reductions. I’m doing this because of your kindness in helping my granddaughter!”Charlie was, of course, delighted to hear this.“Then, thank you, Mr. Alwyne.” Charlie smiled and expressed his gratitude.“We don’t owe each other in the future. You may leave.” Alwyne waved his hand. “Excuse me!” After saying that, Charlie turned around and walked away.“Grandpa, thank you so much! You’re very kind!” Mira also thanked him cheerfully.“You silly girl! Why did you risk your life like that?” said Alwyne, shaking his head and letting out a deep sigh. Mira stuck out her tongue with a smile, then said, “Grandpa, I’m going now.” After saying that, Mira also hurried out. Outside the room. “Charlie!” Charlie had only walked a few steps when Mira caught up behind him. “Charlie, this problem
After a brief phone call, the receptionist led Charlie to the office of the general manager of Goldmere Group.The person who caught his attention was a middle-aged man wearing glasses. He was Glendi, the general manager of Goldmere Group and the eldest son of Alwyne Goldmere.“Mr. Charlie, please have a seat,” Glendi said with a smile on his face.Once Charlie was seated, he immediately began, “Hello, Mr. Glendi, I’m Charlie, the deputy general manager of Enigma Group. I’m here this time...”Just as Charlie said that, Glendi waved his hand and interrupted him.“It seems that Mr. Charlie’s visit this time is to ask Goldmere Group to stop the drastic price cuts, isn’t it?” said Glendi.“That’s correct.” Charlie nodded in agreement.“Mr. Charlie, you might as well just go back. There’s nothing more to discuss on this matter.” Glendi waved his hand dismissively.“We haven’t even started the discussion. How do you know there’s nothing left to talk about?” Charlie responded with a faint sm
Charlie glanced at the man with gold-rimmed glasses and smiled at him, saying, “Felixa, get in the car!”“Wow, Charlie, you changed your car again! Wasn’t your last one a Lamborghini?” Felixa exclaimed, covering her mouth in surprise.As she said that, Felixa opened the door and got into the car.“Changed cars again? L-Lamborghini!”After hearing those words, the man with gold-rimmed glasses could no longer contain his shock! It was only now that he realized how extraordinary the man he had looked down upon was! Brrmmmm! With the roaring sound of the sports car, the Porsche 918 sped away. Wherever the Porsche 918 zoomed, its presence always attracted everyone’s attention. Charlie drove Felixa to his new villa. “Wow, this villa is so big, so stylish, and it even has a swimming pool! I’ve never seen a house as beautiful as this in my life!” Felixa marveled. “My grandfather gave me this house. The Porsche 918 I just drove was also a gift from my grandfather!” As he said that
On a live broadcast.Huxley Pierce’s father: “Calm down, Lydia, I won’t ask for your contact. You just need to sing a song as a thank you; that’s enough.”Lydia nodded in response. After all, she was live streaming because she planned to sing a song. Soon after, Lydia sang “Fake Love Comes True” during her live broadcast. “Wow, she sings it so well!” “Not only does she sing well, but she’s also very beautiful!” “Isn’t this song quite popular lately? Is she the original singer of this song?” “Yes, she is the original singer.” “So she’s the original artist. I’m a fan of hers!” The stream was flooded with comments. Many people entered the live broadcast because they wanted to see the new “Sultan” of TikTok. However, Lydia’s singing unexpectedly attracted so many fans. Clearly, after today’s event, Lydia’s popularity would rise drastically! After finishing a song, Lydia said she had something to do, so she would end her live stream. Charlie also exited the broadcast.
“Thank you, Huxley Pierce, for the ten super shots, thank you.” Lydia smiled and expressed her gratitude.On the live broadcast screen:Huxley Pierce: Lydia, you are very beautiful. I’ve given you ten super shots. Why don’t you give me your number as a thank you? Give me your number and I’ll give you fifty more shots!“Sorry, Huxley Pierce. I’m doing a live broadcast to meet my fans, not to get rewards. I can’t agree to your request,” Lydia replied.Huxley Pierce: What? Not for rewards? Lydia, you’re just a newcomer; there’s no need to pretend to be innocent. If no one gives you rewards, then no one supports you. You’re nothing at all. Do you think you’re amazing just because you sang a famous song?As Huxley Pierce’s words appeared, a flood of comments became more lively.“Huxley Pierce, you’re outrageous! Why are you saying that to Lydia?”“Huxley Pierce is right. I support Huxley Pierce!”Some supported Huxley Pierce, while others opposed him. Lydia’s expression darkened as she re
