The Amazing Son In Law Chapter 56
Charlie had all five individuals brought before him and stated coldly, “Today, I will spare your lives. However, if anyone dares to reveal anything that occurred today, I will eliminate your entire family. Do you understand?”
The five nodded vigorously in response.
At this moment, simply surviving was a stroke of luck, and they dared not defy Charlie’s orders!
Seeing that the five were completely intimidated by his demeanor, Charlie nodded with satisfaction and addressed Lily Lewis’s father, Lawson Lewis, saying, “You deceived my brother, so you must face the consequences. Tomorrow, the restaurant will be transferred to my brother and you and your daughter need to vacate the premises. Do you understand?”
Lawson Lewis nodded earnestly, “I understand. I will leave first thing tomorrow!”
Charlie then turned to Jerome’s father, Dylan Hunt and commanded, “Your son swindled my brother and seriously harmed him. You will pay my brother 2 million in compensation tomorrow, without exception. Do you understand?”
Dylan Hunt promptly replied, “Mr. Wade, I will transfer the money to your brother tomorrow!”
Satisfied, Charlie instructed Don Albert’s men, “Alright, take out the trash!”
The crowd immediately began to escort the five away.
Once they were gone, Charlie turned to Bill and said, “Bill, you did an excellent job this time.”
Bill beamed with pride and replied, “Mr. Wade, this is what I’m here for!”
Charlie casually remarked, “I will have someone transfer two million to your account as a reward for your efforts.”
Bill was absolutely thrilled and bowed deeply, “Thank you, Mr. Wade!”
Although he earned a good living following Don Albert, the latter wasn’t one to part with such a large sum of money all at once.
Charlie sent a text to Isaac Cameron, requesting that he facilitate the transfer to Bill. Even though he had plenty of money in his account, it wasn’t convenient for him to handle the transaction directly at the moment.
A minute later, the funds had been deposited into Bill’s account.
Bill was ecstatic and bowed repeatedly in gratitude.
Charlie then addressed Don Albert again, saying, “Don Albert, I hope you won’t think little of this two million.”
Don Albert quickly responded, “Mr. Wade, it’s my privilege to assist you.”
Charlie nodded and remarked, “I will remember this favor and will give you an opportunity to elevate your status in the future.”
Upon hearing this, Don Albert immediately knelt and bowed his head to Charlie.
For Don Albert, it wasn’t money he sought, but rather a chance to ascend to a higher level.
However, for someone like him in the underworld, advancing in rank was akin to climbing a mountain.
Isaac Cameron was the person he had always aspired to please, yet Cameron had never regarded him highly due to his lowly background.
Now, with Charlie’s endorsement, Isaac Cameron might finally look favorably upon him, paving the way for a more promising future!
After rewarding Bill, Charlie turned to Douglas and asked, “Are you satisfied with what transpired today?”
Douglas was utterly astonished. He could hardly fathom why Charlie had become so powerful. Even the underground sovereign of Aurous Hill had to kneel before him!
He was speechless for a while before regaining his composure and hurriedly replying, “I’m satisfied! Truly satisfied!”
Charlie said, “I eliminated your grievances, facilitated the transfer of the restaurant and secured the two million in compensation. From now on, you will have to stand on your own two feet.”
Douglas immediately replied, “Charlie, I will definitely strive to repay your kindness in the future! Whatever you ask of me, I will comply without hesitation!”
Charlie nodded and remarked, “You need to focus on your recovery first and once you are well, run the restaurant diligently. If I need your help in the future, I will let you know.”
Douglas responded earnestly, “I’m always ready to obey your commands!”
Charlie continued, “Oh and remember not to talk about today’s events with anyone. I prefer to keep my identity concealed, understand?”
Douglas nodded rapidly, saying, “I understand! Rest assured, I won’t breathe a word, even if it costs me my life!”
Charlie agreed, “I will arrange for two nurses to take care of you. Focus on your healing, I’ll be leaving now.”
After returning home, Charlie chose not to share the day’s events with his wife, Claire. He wanted to shield her from unnecessary worries for her safety, it was better for her to remain unaware.
The next day, while out shopping for groceries, he received a phone call. Upon answering, he discovered it was Jasmine, the owner of Vintage Deluxe and a member of the Moore family.
Charlie wondered what Jasmine needed to discuss.
After greeting, Jasmine’s voice came through, “Mr. Wade, I sincerely apologize for interrupting you. Please forgive me for the intrusion.”
Charlie instinctively inquired, “Is there an issue with the jade spring vase that I repaired?”
Jasmine quickly replied, “No, Mr. Wade, I am calling about something entirely different.”
Charlie prompted, “Go on.”
Jasmine explained, “I recently came across something I find quite intriguing, but I’m uncertain about it. Given your expertise in antiques, I would like to invite you to come and take a look. Would you be interested?”
While Charlie was not particularly passionate about antiques, he currently sought items with reiki, so he continued, “What exactly is it?”
Jasmine answered, “It’s an ancient jade. According to the seller, wearing it can help soothe the mind and ward off evil spirits.”
Charlie’s mind began to race. The “Apocalyptic Book” he had discovered contained references to spiritual objects. Items imbued with reiki could be tremendously beneficial, he was eager to determine whether such treasures truly existed, so he agreed, “Alright, I can join you.”
Jasmine replied gratefully, “Thank you, Mr. Wade! I will pick you up at 8 o’clock tomorrow morning.”
“Sounds good.”
After hanging up the phone, Charlie pondered the implications.
Wealthy individuals often revere antiques that promote harmony, tranquility and protection from harm. Building connections in this arena could open up more opportunities for him in the future.
The following morning, Jasmine arrived promptly to collect Charlie.
As he settled into the car, Jasmine remarked, “Mr. Wade, there are several others in Aurous Hill who are also interested in purchasing this ancient jade today. I’m afraid the competition will be quite stiff.”
Charlie nodded and calmly replied, “It doesn’t matter how many competitors there are. What truly matters is the quality of the item. If it’s truly exceptional, numerous bidders won’t pose a problem. I trust in Miss Moore’s capabilities, if you want a treasure, I believe you’ll secure it despite the competition.”
Jasmine smiled slightly and responded, “Mr. Wade, you are too kind. As the saying goes, there are always stronger mountains and more skilled people out there. Here in Aurous Hill, there are countless formidable individuals. I’m sure many are more powerful than me.”
Feigning surprise, Charlie asked, “Really? Isn’t the Moore family the leading family in Aurous Hill?”
Jasmine chuckled and explained, “That’s merely the surface. For instance, consider the new chairman of the Emgrand Group that single entity is equivalent to our entire Moore family. This person possesses immense capability.”
She sighed once more, “I genuinely wish to build a connection with this influential figure, but unfortunately, they remain shrouded in mystery, making it difficult to find a way in.”
