For Charlie, money to buy a car wasn’t a big deal. Moreover, he couldn’t wait for several months without using a car, could he?Returning home from college in the afternoon. He received a phone call from an unknown number.“Hello, who’s this?” He answered shortly.“Are you Charlie?” A woman’s voice echoed on the phone.“I am. Who are you?” He asked.“I’m Shelyn, your classmate from high school,” came the short answer over the phone.“Shelyn?” Charlie was taken aback by her response.He couldn’t forget this name because she was his first love.In the second year of junior high school, Charlie had a crush on someone. That person was his classmate, none other than Shelyn.Shelyn was a beautiful girl, and she was also cheerful.At that time, Charlie didn’t know where the courage came from within him; he suddenly decided to write a love letter to Shelyn, placing it on her desk.What Charlie didn’t expect was that Shelyn gave him a reply letter to the one he sent at that time. Shelyn was al
The groom glanced at Charlie’s back and clenched his teeth, saying, “A poor man dressed shabbily, daring to speak to me like this at my wedding? I certainly won’t let him off!”Thinking it was time for the ceremony to begin, the groom didn’t respond to Charlie’s attitude. Typically, he would have called the guards to deal with Charlie then and there.“After the wedding, I’ll deal with you.”After uttering these words, the groom turned around and continued to greet the other guests present.Meanwhile, Shelyn didn’t say much.She just quietly said to herself. Charlie, whom she hadn’t seen in years, was still the same. He was even so shameless as to say something like that to her husband.***After Charlie entered the banquet area, he suddenly saw the name of his ex-girlfriend on one of the tables. He saw two people sitting there and chatting.Charlie noticed. Both were wearing suits and luxurious watches, making them look glamorous. One was slender, and the other was chubby with blond h
About twenty minutes later, Orion and the other two former classmates returned to their table.“I didn’t expect the groom to invite Mr. Wendell. The wealth he has is even more than 400 billion. When he attends this wedding, it must be because they have a close relationship!” said Orion.The thin man nodded in agreement, “Yes, this groom is quite something. He could even invite Mr. Wendell. As we know, Mr. Wendell is not just anybody. He is the most esteemed among the guests here today.”“It’s a shame with the level of wealth he has, we don’t qualify to get to know him,” said the blond-haired man.“Ladies and gentlemen, your attention please. The wedding ceremony is about to begin. Let us welcome the newlyweds to ascend the altar with a round of applause.” The host took the microphone. His voice filled the entire room.Initially, Orion still wanted to continue mocking Charlie, but as
“Everything Wendell said is true. I am the grandson of the owner of the Enigma Enterprises branch in San Setillo, Ornell Donovan,” Charlie said calmly.Then, Charlie looked at the groom in front of him.“First of all, I congratulate you on your wedding,” Charlie said calmly again.“I... I...”Falcon’ forehead was covered in cold sweat. He was trembling with fear.Although Charlie hadn’t expressed his anger towards him yet, just the thought of his intention to deal with Charlie before made Falcon shrink in half, terrified to the core!“Secondly, I said you look like a pig, don’t you mind?” Charlie looked at Falcon as he said it.“No, no! I don’t mind!” Falcon smiled and shook his head repeatedly.Immediately after that, Falcon said quickly, “Mr. Charlie... Mr. Charlie, before this, I...”Charlie waved his hand and
Charlie drove his Lamborghini. After leaving the Salvator Hotel, he went straight to the hospital. Ready to pick up Felixa who would be discharged from the hospital.He felt very complicated when he thought about meeting Felixa. It couldn’t be separated from him already doing such a thing with Lydia.Although it wasn’t Charlie’s desire, it was already calculated by Lydia’s father. Everything had happened and couldn’t be repeated.Inside the hospital ward.Charlie opened the ward door nervously.“Felixa, I’m here to pick you up. We’re leaving the hospital.” He walked to Felixa’s bedside with a smile on his face.“Charlie, you’re finally here. I’m just scratched, I’ve been wanting to leave the hospital so badly.” She smiled sweetly at Charlie.Although Charlie and Felixa were not officially a couple yet, seeing her happy, he felt even more guilty towards her.“Alright. Let’s pack up, we’re leaving the hospital. I’ve sorted out the paperwork downstairs,” Charlie said.“Yes!” Felixa nodde
“I... I think we could be good friends,” Charlie finally said.At that moment, Felixa stood up with red eyes. Her sadness made Charlie feel sorry for her.Charlie’s heart grew more uncomfortable as he saw Felixa crying.“Charlie, I don’t want to be friends with you. I think we shouldn’t know each other anymore.”After saying that, Felixa ran to the side of the road. She hailed a taxi and got into the car.“Felixa!”Charlie could only watch as Felixa closed the taxi door. Then the taxi drove away.As the taxi disappeared from Charlie’s view, he got into the car dejectedly and leaned against the steering wheel.***On the other side.Felixa, who was inside the taxi, had been crying since earlier.She had actually liked Charlie for a long time, and he had always treated her very well. This made her think that Charlie must also like her.She didn’t expect the outcome to be like this.***After Charlie returned home, he really wanted to call Felixa. However, in the end, he resisted the urg
After hanging up the phone.“Heh. Are you pretending to call someone to scare me? I’ll tell you, if you don’t get 20 million within two hours, I’ll really make you dead!” shouted the head of security.The middle-aged woman sneered, “Hmm. These two country bumpkins are pretending so convincingly.”About ten minutes later.More than ten van cars stopped in front of the Guinness Draught entrance. Over a hundred men in black overalls got out of the cars.They held baseball bats and rushed into Guinness Draught. They walked while smashing everything in their path. Security guards who blocked their way were immediately knocked down to the ground.On the fourth floor corridor of Guinness Draught.“Kid. It’s been over ten minutes. I want to see how long you can endure,” said the head of security coldly.At this moment, a security guard rushed in.“Mr. Johan! There’s a big problem! A group of people, a very large number, has broken into our Guinness Draught. Our friends have been beaten and in
“Salvino, I remember. Our University of Engineering and Vocational Studies San Setillo used to have a friendly match with their university. They couldn’t beat our university. So, what’s going on today?” Charlie asked.“Bro Charlie, Anthon, the team captain, just joined the University of Engineering and Vocational Studies San Setillo. That guy is really ruthless. The main reason for our defeat is because of him. Besides, there are also some strong new faces,” replied Salvino.After pausing for a moment, Salvino gritted his teeth and said, “Moreover, Anthon is too arrogant. Every time he scores, he gives us the middle finger. His face is full of disdain.”Charlie nodded, “I’ve seen it. Although he’s very good at playing basketball, his arrogance will not get him anywhere in the future.”The second half of the game soon began.There was no tension in the battle between the two teams. The game was still dominated by one side.After the second half ended, the final score remained at 78:18.
“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!
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
