Chapter 396
Joaquin's initially joyous face suddenly became heavy.
Regaining the abilities of a man and restoring masculine prowess are crucial, but one's life is even more important!
You can't risk your life just for the sake of playing with women, right?
Ricky noticed his change and curiously asked, "Director Wilson, what's going on... Do you have some difficult-to-share secret?"
Joaquin wore a helpless expression and said, "Brother Weigard, to be honest, I'm now practically a living eunuch. I can't get anything done at all. I've been to the hospital, but the doctors can't help. You've got to help me out! By the way, is the medicine your old man uses potent? Maybe I could give it a try?"
Ricky hastily replied, "Brother, don't try that medicine. If it messes up your body, it's not worth the risk!"
He continued, "By the way, our Weigard family is currently researching that medicine. We hope to improve it, making it strengthen male prowess without harming the body. If successful, it could have a powerful repairing effect on male abilities!"
"Really?!" Joaquin exclaimed with joy. "That would be fantastic! When can it be produced?"
Ricky said, "However, the recipe lacks a key ingredient. To complete it, we'll have to wait for the Traditional Chinese Medicine Expo in two days to obtain that ingredient."
Joaquin was overjoyed. He'd wait not just two days, but even two years if it meant curing himself!
He hastily said, "Brother Weigard, once the medicine is ready, can you sell me a dose? I need it right now."
Need it? He was practically a living eunuch. If he stayed like this, it would be better to just get rid of it altogether.
Ricky pretended to hesitate, sighed, and said, "Brother, it's not that I don't want to help you, but the ingredients for this medicine are too precious. I estimate that we can only make one dose during the initial testing phase..."
After saying this, he glanced at Wendy with a smiling face and added, "But, it's not impossible to negotiate..."
Joaquin knew exactly what Ricky meant. He revealed a smile that any man would understand and directly said to Wendy, "Wen, from now on, you belong to Brother Weigard. Thank him properly, serve him as you serve me. Got it?"
Upon hearing this, Ricky was instantly thrilled.
Seeing Wendy for the first time, he had hoped for something more with this beautiful woman. However, learning she was Joaquin's niece, he was initially disappointed. But unexpectedly, she turned out to be Joaquin's lover, and for the sake of obtaining the medicine, Joaquin handed Wendy over to him.
This was truly gaining without any effort!
Chapter 397
Wendy couldn't help feeling a bit displeased. She hoped to continue being Joaquin's lover and have him introduce her to more influential people. With Joaquin's influence, she could build her social network and gradually become a prominent figure in Aurous Hill. This way, not only would she benefit, but the Wilson Group would also prosper, and she would be the pillar of the Wilson Group.
However, to her surprise, Joaquin saw her merely as a tool. In exchange for a remedy, he was willing to hand her over to Ricky. She wanted to be Joaquin's lover and a socialite, not an upper-class plaything. If word got out, her reputation would be ruined.
So, she held Joaquin's hand, coquettishly saying, "Joaquin, I love you so much. I just want to be with you and not leave..."
Joaquin, irritated by Wendy, saw her as the least cost-effective among his past flings. Desperate for some benefit, he saw sending her to Ricky as the best option.
With his current incapacity, keeping Wendy would be pointless. If Weigard's family could cure his hidden ailment, he could continue finding other women. Coldly, he told Wendy, "Cut the act. If I want you to accompany Weigard, you do it. No need for extra words."
Tears welled up in Wendy's eyes as she complained, "Joaquin, didn't you choose me because you like me? If you truly like me, how can you give me away to someone else?"
Ricky, annoyed by the situation, spoke up, "Come on, Director Wilson, since Miss Weigard is deeply in love with you, don't force her."
Joaquin slapped Wendy, scolding her, "You're just a plaything to me. Do as I say. If you don't accompany Weigard, I'll withdraw my investment from the Wilson family, bankrupting them. You'll have to return the money I gave you. I built up the Wilson family; I can bring them down."
Shocked, Wendy felt a surge of humiliation. Yet, what could she do? Refusing Joaquin was simple; just say no. But after the refusal, everything would revert, the Wilson family awaiting bankruptcy, and her socialite dream shattered.
Forcefully, she mustered a smile, saying, "I agree, I agree! I'll take good care of Mr. Weigard."
Joaquin sneered, "Smart move!"
He pushed Wendy into Ricky's arms, saying, "Tonight, go with Mr. Weigard!"
Ricky held Wendy, excitedly suggesting, "Wen, I've booked a hotel room. Tonight, let's deepen our understanding!"
Quietly wiping away her tears, Wendy harbored deep resentment. Once the cherished daughter of the Wilson family, pursued by countless suitors, she never glanced at ordinary guys. Little did she know, her scheming had led to this unfortunate fate.
Chapter 398
Her fiancé, Gerald, abandoned her for Joaquin, who in turn treated her like a tool and casually handed her over to Ricky. If Ricky got tired of her in the future, who would she be thrown to?
At this moment, she couldn't help but think of her cousin, Claire.
Claire never had so many thoughts. She hadn't been in love before and directly married the useless Charlie. Although Charlie was a bit useless, he would never let her endure such humiliation...
Comparatively, she might not be the winner.
Ricky held her tightly, wearing a lecherous expression, and said to Joaquin, "Boss Wilson, rest assured, once we gather the prescription, we'll immediately send the medicine to you! Help you regain your prowess!"
"Great!" Joaquin finally relaxed, smiling, "Then I'll patiently await your good news!"
Ricky nodded, glanced at the time, and eager to do something with Wendy, grinned and said to Joaquin, "Boss Wilson, it's getting late. How about we call it a night?"
Joaquin knew Ricky was anxious to spend the night with Wendy and couldn't help feeling envious. Still, he generously nodded and said, "Sure, let's end it here. You two go ahead!"
Afterward, he said to Wendy, "Take good care of General Weigard, understood?"
Wendy nodded in humiliation, saying obediently, "Understood..."
That night, Wendy became Ricky's lover.
Although Wendy inwardly resented this new title, Ricky was amazed by her performance in that aspect.
That night, Ricky also found his second spring with Wendy.
So, after the rain stopped, he held Wendy and promised, "You don't have to accompany that old guy Joaquin anymore. Stick with me, and I'll make you someone extraordinary."
With this promise, Wendy's heart finally felt a bit better.
If Ricky could make her extraordinary, following him wouldn't be a bad thing.
After all, though he wasn't as rich as Joaquin, at least he was much younger. Moreover, he didn't seem like the kind of man who would casually give her away.
...
Early the next morning, the news of the disappearance of the Collingwood family father and son continued to spread.
It was said that the Collingwood family had raised the reward to ten million, and many street thugs were searching everywhere, hoping to strike it rich overnight.
Unfortunately, the Collingwood father and son had vanished, no longer existing in this world.
After breakfast, Claire went to the studio, and Jacob went to the antique association, learning about antique appreciation from the masters. As for Elaine, scared like a dog yesterday, she dolled up early in the morning and went to play mahjong.
Charlie was mopping the floor alone at home when he received a call from Miss Sarah Walker.
While mopping, he answered the call.
Sarah's gentle voice sounded, full of respect. "Master Wade, are you at home now?"
"Yes," Charlie asked curiously, "Do you have something for me?"
Chapter 399
Charlie curiously asked, "Do you have something to discuss with me?"
Sarah smiled slightly and said, "Yes, you see, our Walker family has invested in an upscale club in Gold Harbor District. We'd like to gift you an exclusive VIP card. I'm downstairs at your place right now."
Charlie replied casually, "Just come up; I'm at home."
Hastily, Sarah said, "That's great, I'll come up right away."
Charlie hmm'd and hung up the phone.
A few minutes later, Sarah rang the doorbell.
Charlie opened the door, and his eyes lit up.
Today, Sarah wore a black evening gown, tailored to accentuate her slender waist. The front was short, revealing her perfect, slender legs like flawless jade.
Combined with her elegant and noble face, along with the long-established aura of superiority, she looked like an enchanting night elf.
Her stunning attire couldn't escape Charlie's repeated glances.
"Master Wade."
Sarah nodded gracefully, having applied some makeup before coming. Seeing Charlie's astonished gaze, she felt a sweet satisfaction.
Charlie nodded casually, "Come in and have a seat."
Sarah nodded and followed Charlie inside.
After they sat down, Sarah took out a VIP card made of pure platinum and respectfully handed it over.
"Master Wade, this is the Supreme VIP card for Splendid Club. Only one exists, and it's exclusively for you. It's a token of my appreciation. Anytime you visit Splendid Club, you can enjoy complimentary services with this card for a lifetime."
Splendid Club, newly opened, had been a hot topic among the elite of Aurous Hill. As it was backed by the Walker family, the overall investment was extremely high, making it the top-notch business club in Aurous Hill.
With the Walker family's support, it attracted almost all the prominent figures in Aurous Hill and the entire South Laverton Province. Such places were ideal for business discussions, collaborations, and expanding connections.
However, to maintain the exclusivity of the club, there were strict membership criteria. The memberships were categorized into Ordinary, Advanced, VIP, and Advanced VIP, with Sarah gifting Charlie the unique Supreme VIP card, an unknown fact to the public.
The membership fees ranged from one million for Ordinary, five million for Advanced, to millions for VIP members. To become an Advanced VIP member, one had to be a family head with assets in the billions, making it an impossible feat for most.
Charlie wasn't particularly interested in such matters, but he didn't want to reject Sarah's goodwill. He accepted the Supreme VIP card with a smile and put it in his pocket.
At this moment, Sarah looked at Charlie, hesitated for a moment, and somewhat shyly said, "Master Wade, apart from this, Sarah has an awkward request. I wonder if Master Wade can fulfill it."
Chapter 400
Charlie said casually, "Tell me about it."
Sarah hurriedly explained, "Master Wade, our family has invested over a billion in the Splendid Club, making it a relatively large project. I'm worried about any mishaps and hope you can help us check the Feng Shui and foresee any blessings or misfortunes."
Although Sarah said this confidently, she felt a bit uneasy, unsure if Charlie would agree. She anxiously watched him with her big eyes.
Charlie smiled faintly, thinking that the Walker family had always been loyal, and with Sarah personally coming to him with great respect, it wouldn't hurt to take a look.
So, he nodded and said, "Since that's the case, let's go take a look."
Sarah quickly said, "Thank you, Master Wade, for taking the time out of your busy schedule. My car is downstairs at your place, and we can leave whenever you're ready."
Charlie replied, "Let's go now. It's a good opportunity to see how your club is doing."
Sarah was delighted and respectfully accompanied Charlie out.
...
Soon, Sarah's Rolls-Royce parked at the entrance of the Splendid Club.
The Splendid Club was located in the Gold Harbor District, the most prosperous area in Aurous Hill.
The Walker family had been working on this project for several years, and it had just been completed recently.
This club was designed by the top domestic architect, with a decoration style at the forefront of fashion, exuding extreme luxury.
As soon as the car stopped, a service staff immediately opened the door, and Charlie and Sarah got out.
After getting out of the car, Sarah respectfully said to Charlie, "Master Wade, please follow me."
Charlie nodded and took a rough look at the facade of the entire club.
The exterior of the Splendid Club looked grand and luxurious, with a hint of nobility. Two marble columns with dragon carvings stood imposingly, giving people a sense of awe.
From the moment they stepped into the club, the floor was covered with handmade wool carpets from Arabia.
Such wool carpets cost about tens of thousands of dollars per square meter. For the entire hall of over a thousand square meters, the money spent on the carpet alone was millions!
Sarah respectfully followed Charlie, pointing to the walls around the hall that were covered with dozens of meters high murals. She said, "Master Wade, these murals are world-class cultural treasures, each worth about tens of millions."
Charlie nodded and said, "There's a country in the Middle East called Abu Dhabi, where the Grand Mosque is in a similar style. However, your handling here is just right, without the strong religious color."
"Yes," Sarah said cautiously, "After all, most people in our country are atheists and don't advocate excessive feudal superstition. So, when we designed this club from the beginning, we tried to avoid the style of religious culture."
After speaking, Sarah pointed to the top of the hall, a huge crystal chandelier that was ten meters high and extremely large. This crystal chandelier was not only voluminous but also very bright, making the entire room as bright as day.
"Master Wade, this crystal chandelier is made of natural crystal, weighing 8.8 tons. It took a lot of effort and connections for the Walker family to get it. Moreover, to bring it from Europe, we specially air-shipped it to Aurous Hill from Austria and then assembled it here."
Charlie said, "In terms of Feng Shui, for any business place or legitimate business, the light should not be too dim. The darker it is, the more it affects the Feng Shui. So, when it comes to lighting, you can't cut corners."
Sarah nodded and said, "Master Wade, I appreciate your reminder. I've learned from it."
After that, Sarah smiled at Charlie and said, "Master Wade, the top floor here is not open to the public. Besides the Walker family, only you, the only supreme VIP, can go up. How about we go to the top floor first?"
Charlie nodded slightly, "Sure."
Chapter 401
The Splendid Club boasts a total of fifteen floors.
Except for the first-floor lobby, the remaining fourteen floors serve as entertainment spaces.
Below the tenth floor are various-sized, differently-styled private rooms. Even the regular members' rooms are lavishly adorned, not to mention the exclusive VIP rooms, fit for royalty.
As for the floors above the tenth, they house facilities like a swimming pool, rooftop garden, fitness, and entertainment.
Among them, the fifteenth floor stands as the epitome of luxury.
Stepping out of the elevator onto the fifteenth floor, Charlie was greeted by opulence in every corner.
The palace-style grandeur here was impeccable, with attention to detail and lavishness that left no room for criticism.
Walking alongside Charlie, Sarah said, "Master Wade, this floor is the most luxurious in the entire Splendid Club. It features a semi-outdoor infinity pool, a presidential suite, and a private restaurant, and if you fancy some music, we can even arrange a small concert. If you have a favorite singer, I can invite them to perform exclusively for you on the fifteenth floor."
She continued, "By the way, there's a famous girl group coming to Aurous Hill for a concert soon. One of their members has been extremely popular lately, dubbed the 'Golden Carp Girl.' Her talent agency happens to be one that our Walker family has invested in. If you're interested—"
Charlie waved it off, smiling, "No need. I'm not much into the entertainment scene."
Sarah nodded and said, "The entertainment industry has indeed become a bit chaotic. If you prefer more skilled performers, I can help you invite some top-notch singers to perform solo for you."
Charlie chuckled, "If I ever have that need, I'll let you know."
"Alright." Sarah smiled gracefully, "Master Wade, please don't hesitate to make any requests. I'll do my best to fulfill them."
As she spoke, Sarah's cheeks blushed slightly. The usually proud and elegant young lady rarely showed shyness in front of a man.
Sarah had always remembered her grandfather's advice.
She had to find a way to make Charlie the son-in-law of the Walker family.
Moreover, she genuinely admired Charlie—a man with strength, capability, and a humble demeanor. She had long harbored affection for him.
So, this conversation not only expressed loyalty to Charlie but also subtly revealed her feelings.
However, Charlie didn't perceive the deeper layer of meaning. He simply smiled, thanked Sarah for her respect, and spoke, "It seems the feng shui here is quite good. I can tell that careful consideration was given to feng shui during the design. However, matters of feng shui require meticulous inspection on each floor, or it might be overlooked."
He added, "Let's do this: you go about your business, and I'll take a stroll on my own."
Sarah hurriedly said, "Master Wade, let me accompany you!"
Charlie waved it off, "No need. To read feng shui, one must be in a calm state. I'll explore on my own; you wait here for me."
Only then did Sarah stop insisting and respectfully say, "If Master Wade has any needs, just call my phone directly."
Charlie nodded slightly without speaking and entered the elevator.
...
Charlie descended from the fifteenth floor, taking the elevator one level at a time.
Inspecting each floor throughout the day, he felt that the Splendid Club's decoration was luxurious on every level, showcasing the designer's dedication.
However, when it came to feng shui, it could be considered average at best.
Chapter 402
The principles of great Feng Shui indeed have their intricacies, but to Charlie, it doesn't seem exceptionally profound or unique. While most people might think the Feng Shui here is excellent, to him, it's like a glass of plain water—neither outstanding nor harmful, just bland and unremarkable.
However, since he promised Sarah, Charlie doesn't mind lending a hand to elevate the Feng Shui of the entire splendid place. Pondering the Feng Shui secrets from the "Nine Mystical Heavens Scripture," he quickly forms a comprehensive plan.
Just then, a woman's voice comes from behind him. "Charlie, you useless thing, what are you doing here?"
Hearing this, Charlie furrows his brows and turns around, only to see Wendy and a man in a white denim suit approaching. The man is none other than Ricky, the eldest son of the Weigard family.
Ever since Ricky obtained Wendy from Joaquin, he showered her with affection. He even promised Wendy that he would make her a person of high status.
Initially reluctant to be treated as a plaything, Wendy, seeing Ricky's genuine affection, willingly became his lover. In Wendy's eyes, although the Weigard family's strength doesn't match up to Joaquin's Qiancheng Group, it's still in the billion-dollar range, much stronger than the previous Wilson family.
Therefore, after getting involved with Ricky, she regains her past pride. Today, at the opening of the splendid club, Ricky spent five million to buy an advanced membership, bringing Wendy to experience it and broaden her horizons.
Upon entering the splendid club, Wendy is stunned by its luxury, feeling a sense of high society. But as she immerses herself in this feeling, she suddenly spots Charlie, whom she despises to the core.
It's like finding a fly amid a sumptuous feast—such a dampener! Too much of a dampener that she just wants to find a way to shoo this fly away! Otherwise, her experience of this sumptuous feast will instantly plummet.
Of course, it would be best if she could swat the fly to death.
Seeing Wendy targeting a seemingly ordinary guy, Ricky tightly embraces her waist, curiously asking, "Wen, is this the loser you mentioned, Charlie, the son-in-law who came knocking on the door?"
"That's him!" Wendy glares at Charlie, saying with gritted teeth, "This guy has been a famous loser since university. I can't believe he made his way to the splendid club!"
Remembering some of the Wilson family's past events during his intimate moments with Wendy, Ricky has a deep impression of Charlie. Thinking about conquering Wendy just now and wanting her to be completely devoted, Ricky naturally wants to stand up for her. So, he sizes up Charlie and sneers, "Kid, is the splendid club a place for you to come?"
Charlie's expression turns cold, and he retorts, "Why can't I come?"
"Why can't you come?" Ricky smirks and says, "Because you're not worthy!"
Chapter 403
Upon hearing Ricky's words, Charlie couldn't help but smile. He wasn't angry; instead, he looked at Weigard with good humor and asked, "Come on, tell me, where do I fall short?"
Ricky snorted, his nostrils pointing to the sky. "Do I even need to ask? Naturally, you don't measure up anywhere! Look at what you're wearing. Damn, it's not even as good as the doorman who opens the car door at the entrance!"
Charlie chuckled, "What I wear is my freedom. Does the Splendid Club mandate a specific dress code for guests?"
Ricky sneered, "The Splendid Club doesn't enforce a dress code, but it operates on a membership basis. No one without a membership is allowed in!"
Mockingly, he asked, "Are you an ordinary member here?"
Charlie calmly shook his head, "No."
Ricky disdainfully inquired, "Then, are you a premium member?"
Charlie shook his head again, "No."
Ricky chuckled, "You wouldn't tell me you're a VIP member here, would you? From what I know, there are fewer than ten people in the entire Aurous Hill city who have the status of a VIP member!"
Charlie spread his hands, "Still no."
Ricky couldn't help but laugh, "Haha, you, this poor loser, are you going to tell me you're a premium VIP member? As far as I know, there are not more than ten people in the whole of Aurous Hill who can claim that!"
Charlie smiled innocently, revealing a set of pearly whites, and said, "Not even that."
Ricky furrowed his brow, coldly snorting, "You're not any kind of member, are you? I bet you sneaked in here to freeload when nobody was looking!"
Wendy, on the side, scoffed sarcastically, "No need to ask. A discarded waste son-in-law like you, abandoned by our Wilson family, how could you be a member here? A freeloading loser!"
She glared at Charlie, teeth clenched, "Charlie, you've come to the wrong place today! This is the newly opened Splendid High-End Club by the Walker family. It's a trial operation today, and the people here are all prominent figures. Daring to cause trouble here, aren't you afraid of being beaten by the security?"
Charlie innocently said, "I am a member here. Why would security want to beat me?"
Ricky sneered, "Stop pretending with me! There are only four levels of membership here: regular, premium, VIP, and premium VIP. You're none of those, and you claim to be a member?"
Charlie earnestly said, "While I may not be in those four categories, I am a Supreme VIP member, belonging to the fifth category. Didn't you know?"
"Pah!" Ricky scornfully said, "Cut the crap! Haven't you seen the introduction in the lobby on the first floor? There are only four levels. You're just making things up. Aren't you afraid of offending the Walker family with your nonsense?"
Charlie shook his head helplessly, saying, "You're a strange person. I'm telling you the truth, but why do you refuse to believe me?"
"Believe you?" Ricky seemed to hear a big joke, taunting, "With your poor loser appearance, you think you can fool Ricky?!"
Charlie, curious, asked, "Are you famous? Why haven't I heard of you?"
Ricky coldly laughed, "Ever heard of Weigard Pharmaceuticals? I am the general manager of Weigard Pharmaceuticals."
Charlie shook his head, "Sorry, I haven't heard of it."
Ricky thought Charlie was mocking him on purpose, immediately darkening his face, "Kid, you've got yourself into trouble today. Without membership qualification, you dare to sneak into the Splendid Club of the Walker family, boastfully claiming to be a Supreme VIP member. Who the hell came up with that title for you? Quite the bluff!"
Charlie, helpless, shook his head and took out his membership card, saying, "Here, take a look. This is my membership card, and it says Supreme VIP member on it."
Chapter 404
Ricky took the membership card and frowned immediately.
I must say, the craftsmanship of this card is impressive!
It's much better than my high-tier membership card!
However, he had never heard of a Supreme VIP membership at the Splendid Club! There are only four levels!
With that in mind, Ricky already had an answer.
This card must be a forgery by this guy!
Damn, this audacious loser has some nerve!
To fake the membership card of the Walker family's club, how is that any different from forging bank checks?
So, he coldly snorted and said, "Kid, quickly kneel, apologize, and then get lost! Otherwise, I'll have a word with Mr. Edwards, the steward of the Walker family. Do you know my relationship with him? Mr. Edwards and my dad are like brothers!"
Ricky's dad and Mr. Edwards didn't have a brotherly relationship. They were just fellow villagers, and they had some acquaintanceship due to the long time they knew each other.
Mr. Edwards had worked diligently for the Walker family for many years, holding a superior position.
He could be considered the strongest and highest-ranked outsider, surpassing even the underground king like Orvel.
In terms of status, Mr. Edwards was much stronger.
Because Orvel couldn't come up to the surface, unlike Mr. Edwards, who, on many occasions, represented the Walker family.
So, Ricky often mentioned Mr. Edwards to exert some pressure, taking advantage of their somewhat friendly connection.
When Charlie heard about his acquaintance with Mr. Edwards, he smirked and said, "I forgot to tell you, the Supreme VIP membership card was a gift from Miss Sarah. Didn't you ask who came up with this silly name? Well, it was Miss Walker who named it."
"Oh, come on!" Ricky disdainfully spat out, saying, "You think a loser like you deserves Miss Walker to give you a name? Do you think being awesome comes for free? Some awesomeness can be deadly, you know?"
Curious, Charlie asked, "Why would it be deadly? Is awesomeness poisonous or something?"
"I..." Ricky exploded in anger, shouting, "Stop playing the poor mouth with me! Do you know that if you disrespect Miss Walker and she finds out, you won't be able to save your dog's life!"
Charlie chuckled, saying, "It seems like you're the one disrespecting Miss Walker, right?"
Wendy, standing on the side, immediately said to Ricky, "Ricky, why waste words on this loser? Just call the security of the Splendid Club, let them come, and tell the guards what he just said. They won't let him off. And be sure to inform Mr. Edwards afterward. Teach this jerk a lesson, make sure he can't be a man anymore!"
Joaquin couldn't become a man because Charlie seemed to have used some unspeakable means. Wendy had been holding a grudge against Charlie for this reason. So, she hoped someone could deal with Charlie similarly.
Upon hearing this, Ricky patted Wendy's hand and said, "Wen, rest assured. I'll call the security to deal with him right away!"
He then shouted, "Where are the security guards? Come quickly! Someone is pretending to be a Splendid Club member and even dared to fabricate stories about your Miss!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a dignified and deep voice echoed, "Who's making a commotion? What's going on?"
Charlie looked up and saw the housekeeper of the Walker family, an old man surnamed Edwards, approaching.
Chapter 405
As Dondie Edwards' furious shout echoed, Ricky burst into a joyous smile.
He looked at Charlie with a smirk and said, "Haha, Dondie is here! You're done for, poor loser. Even a deity can't save you!"
Turning to Dondie, he pointed at Charlie, complaining, "Dondie, there's a troublemaker here. Not only is he pretending to be a member of our Splendid Club, but he also disrespected Miss Walker. You better teach him a lesson!"
Dondie frowned. With age, his eyesight wasn't the best, making it hard to see Charlie's face from a distance. However, he recognized Ricky, who was closer, being a fellow villager's son. Trusting him relatively, Dondie sternly said, "Who dares? Security, get him!"
A few burly security guards, full of aggression, were ready to surround Charlie.
Wendy was thrilled, staring at Charlie with a cold smile. "Charlie, let's see how you die today!"
Charlie sneered, "I won't die even if you wish it eight times."
Wendy stomped her foot, "Still so stubborn! Ricky, rip his mouth apart later!"
Ignoring her, Charlie looked at the approaching Dondie and coldly shouted, "Mr Edwards, you old geezer, quite imposing! Want to take me down?"
This remark left everyone on the scene stunned!
Damn, does this guy want to die faster? He called Dondie an old geezer?!
Let's see how Dondie deals with him this time!
They heard that when Dondie gets angry, someone's bound to die!
However, what no one expected was that Charlie's voice made Dondie tremble!
Although he couldn't see clearly, the voice resembled that of Master Charlie, whom even Mr. Walker respected.
Seeing Charlie, Dondie shuddered, the momentum from before vanishing. He immediately bowed with clasped hands, "Master Wade, I didn't know it was you. I've offended you..."
The entire venue froze!
What the hell is going on?!
The high-and-mighty Dondie is apologizing to a poor loser?!
Just as everyone was puzzled, Charlie coldly remarked, "I heard you hold a high position in the Walker family. But no matter how high, shouldn't it be lower than Mr. Walker?"
Because of Ricky's claim that Dondie was his father's sworn brother, Charlie wasn't planning to let Dondie off easily. He didn't care if Dondie was innocent or not; if someone used your name to show off, you had to settle the score!
Hearing Charlie directly mention Mr. Walker, Dondie realized he had stirred up big trouble!
Chapter 406
Without a second thought, he directly knelt before Charlie with a thud, trembling with fear yet incredibly sincere. "Master Wade, if there's anything wrong with what I've done, please point it out, and I'll do my best to correct it!"
Charlie nodded, looking down at him and pointing to the bewildered Ricky beside him. "This guy says you're his dad's sworn brother. Is that true?"
Dondie glanced at Ricky and immediately replied, "Returning to Master Wade, his dad and I are from the same hometown, and we can barely be considered friends, but not sworn brothers."
"Good." Charlie nodded and said, "This kid and his woman were mocking and threatening me, even plotting to harm me. What do you think should be done about it?"
In an instant, Dondie understood that Charlie's dissatisfaction stemmed entirely from Ricky.
Angry, he shouted at Ricky, "Idiot! Offending Master Wade and not kneeling?!"
Ricky hadn't figured out what was happening. What's with this 'Master Wade'? Since when did he become 'Master Wade'? Isn't he just a loser? Are you confused or what?
So, he subconsciously said, "Dondie, isn't he just a useless loser? You, such a high-status figure, kneeling to him? You're the trusted one in the Walker family! Moreover, he offended the Walker family's young miss; you should eliminate him!"
Dondie trembled with anger. Kill Charlie? Are you out of your mind?
The name of Charlie, or Master Wade, was known throughout the upper echelons of Aurous Hill. The Walker family's patriarch had restored his health thanks to Master Wade's miraculous needles and medicine. The entire Walker family revered Charlie as a deity!
Even though Dondie held a certain status, it was in comparison to common folks. Even the manager of the Walker family treated him with utmost respect. Faced with Charlie, he should bow down and worship. Now, this Ricky, this bastard, falsely claimed a sworn brotherhood and offended Master Wade. This was practically seeking his death!
Thinking of this, he immediately stood up, slapped Ricky's face hard, and then shouted at the security guards beside him, "Come, hold him down! Also, that woman next to him!"
Ricky didn't expect Dondie to hit him. He was about to ask what was going on when he felt two strong forces pressing down on his shoulders, making him kneel uncontrollably.
Wendy was so frightened that she hadn't even recovered when she was pressed down.
At this moment, Dondie supported himself with both hands, looked up at Charlie, and said anxiously, "Master Wade, it's my fault for making friends carelessly. I didn't expect my friend's son to be so disrespectful. Please rest assured, I will discipline him properly and let him know the consequences of disrespecting Master Wade!"
Charlie calmly said, "I'm just a nobody. People can be disrespectful, and I can endure it. Besides, since he claims to know you, even if he slapped me, I would have to endure it!"
Hearing this, Dondie knew that Charlie had no intention of forgiving him. He quickly kowtowed three times and said, "Master Wade, if you have any dissatisfaction, please feel free to say it. Even if you want to abolish me, I won't complain!"
Charlie waved his hand, "No need to abolish you. I just want to know, if someone offends your young miss, what would you do?"
As he spoke, Charlie pointed to the supreme VIP membership card in Ricky's hand and said to Dondie, "This card was given to me by your young miss. The title of Supreme VIP Member was specially arranged for me by your young miss as a sign of respect. But in this guy's mouth, the Supreme VIP Member has become a ridiculous name. I ask you, doesn't this equate to insulting your young miss?"
Dondie turned his head, gritted his teeth, and waited for Ricky with a dark and murderous expression, asking, "Weigard, have you had enough of living???"
Chapter 407
Ricky trembled under the intimidating gaze of Dondie.
Terrified yet feigning innocence, he said, "Dondie, the information displayed in the first-floor hall doesn't mention anything about the Supreme VIP member. That guy must have made it up. You can't fall for his tricks!"
"Exactly!" Wendy, daringly disrespectful, chimed in, "This guy's shamelessness is beyond belief. Not only did he pretend to be a member, but he also fabricated a rank and even forged a membership card. Such despicable behavior utterly disrespects the Walker family!"
Wendy wanted to condemn Charlie's actions, linking them closely to defying the Walker family. Unbeknownst to her, she overlooked Charlie's actual relationship with the Walker family.
Even though she never believed that someone like Charlie, a loser in her eyes, could have connections or be respected by the upper class, the reality spoke otherwise.
Dondie, shaken by their words, scolded, "Do you two realize that the Supreme VIP member was specially designated for Master Wade? There is only one in the entire world! You're openly offending Master Wade and disrespecting our young lady. Today, I, Edwards, won't spare you!"
"What?!" Ricky's mind jolted. The Supreme VIP member is real?!
Moreover, it's a level set by the Walker family's young lady.
Doesn't that mean he's insulting the Walker family's young lady?
Oh my, isn't this a path to self-destruction?
At this moment, Dondie, visibly angered, turned to Charlie, asking, "Master Wade, these two trash have offended you. How would you like them to pay for it?"
Charlie calmly said, "These two have low morals and foul mouths. Let's neutralize their toxicity a bit."
Eager to please, Dondie suggested, "Master Wade, should I get some perfume and make them drink it?"
Charlie waved his hand, "Dondie, use common sense. Perfume is a highly concentrated chemical. A little spray is fine, but drinking it in large amounts can be fatal. These two may be obnoxious, but they don't deserve death."
Ricky and Wendy couldn't believe Charlie would spare them. It was truly unexpected.
Curious, Dondie asked, "Any specific instructions, Master Wade?"
Charlie smiled, "Since their mouths spew nonsense, let's give them a taste of something pungent. How about taking them to the men's restroom and having them clean all the urinals? If they refuse, feed them some perfume."
Dondie nodded, "Alright! As Master Wade commands. Someone, clear the guests from the men's restroom, temporarily close it, and escort these two to clean all the urinals!"
Ricky and Wendy exchanged horrified glances. Are they cleaning urinals? That's disgustingly nauseating!
Ricky, a man himself, knew how filthy and disgusting urinals could be. Countless people urinate there, and touching them is repulsive. Now, he's being asked to lick them? Isn't that an insult?
In desperation, he pleaded with Dondie, "Dondie, for the sake of my father's reputation, please spare me this time. Cleaning urinals is beyond disgusting. Please, have mercy..."
Chapter 408
Dondie said in a cold voice, "Alright if you don't want to lick, that's fine. I'll immediately have the warehouse bring over ten pounds of concentrated perfume. Each of you gets five pounds, and you can't leave until you finish drinking!"
The Splendid Club has a total of fifteen floors, with a vast area filled with a very luxurious fragrance, all thanks to imported perfumes.
Therefore, the perfume inventory at the Splendid Club is extensive.
When Ricky heard about drinking five pounds of perfume, his liver trembled in fear.
Five pounds of perfume contains at least two and a half pounds of alcohol, along with various chemical additives, musk additives, and preservatives. If they drink five pounds of it, even a mighty immortal wouldn't be able to save them!
Compared to that, licking a urinal, though disgusting, at least keeps you alive...
Seeing his hesitation, Dondie got furious, lost patience, and said to the security guards beside him, "Damn it, if he's unwilling to lick, give him a good beating first, consider it collecting some interest!"
"Yes!"
He directly ordered, and the security guards of the Brilliant High-end Club rushed over, surrounding Ricky and Wendy.
The security guards didn't waste time, immediately raising their fists, and delivering a brutal beating to the two. Before Ricky and Wendy could react, they were subjected to a barrage of punches and kicks, getting battered with tears and snot streaming down, a pitiful sight.
In severe pain, Ricky struggled and pleaded, "Dondie, I'm your high-end member here! I spent five million! Even if my dad and you are just friends, as a customer here, you shouldn't be hitting me!"
Hearing this, Dondie's face turned green. "You think being a member here gives you the right to provoke our supreme VIP member? Let me tell you, the entire Walker family highly respects Master Wade. You dared to defy Master Wade, what are you? I'll refund your membership fee tomorrow, and from now on, Splendid Club permanently bans you!"
Ricky was on the verge of madness. He spent real money to become a high-end member; why should they cancel it just like that?
But at this moment, dare he argue with Dondie?
A security guard, holding several large bottles, ran over, respectfully saying, "Dondie, the perfume is here."
Dondie nodded and said, "Good! Since they refuse to lick the urinal, pry open their mouths and pour the perfume down! Five pounds for each person, not a drop less!"
Several security guards immediately stepped forward, pinching Ricky and Wendy's mouths, and forcing them open.
Following that, two guards each held a two-pound perfume bottle, unscrewing the cap. The strong fragrance instantly filled the air, so intense that it was almost suffocating.
Dondie looked at the pale-faced Ricky and Wendy and said coldly, "Drinking so much perfume, even if you die, ensures your body won't decay. After you're gone, bury you in some lonely place. Maybe in a few hundred years, you'll be an archaeological find!"
Hearing this, the two were terrified.
Survival is something everyone cherishes!
They initially thought drinking perfume was just a threat, never expecting it would come to this. Suddenly, licking a urinal seemed like the mildest punishment in the world!
So, the two pleaded in unison, "Forgive us, Dondie! We choose to lick the urinal!"
Chapter 409
Everyone knows that while the urinals in the men's restroom might be fancy, licking them won't be lethal.
But if you gulp down five pounds of perfume, not even a powerful celestial being can save you.
Although Ricky and Wendy were quite proud, they weren't ready to joke about their lives.
As long as they could survive, what's a little licking of the urinal?
Just rinse the mouth a few extra times and brush the teeth a bit more!
Dondie, seeing them choose to lick the urinal, ordered, "Guards, drag this pair of lovebirds to the men's restroom. Let them clean the urinal, and if there's a stain left, bring out their shit!"
The security guards dragged Ricky and Wendy like lifeless bodies to the second-floor men's restroom. Dondie respectfully said to Charlie, "Master Wade, would you like to go supervise?"
Charlie nodded, "Such an interesting affair should not be missed."
With Dondie's attentive service, Charlie stepped into the restroom.
The entire second-floor restroom was spacious, with sixteen urinals in two rows.
A few security guards pushed Ricky and Wendy to one of the urinals and coldly said, "What the hell are you waiting for? Start licking!"
Ricky hesitated, trembling, and stuck out his tongue but couldn't bring himself to get closer.
Although the restroom in the splendid club was clean, it was still a urinal. Usually, the restroom had aromatherapy, masking any pungent odors, but getting close to the urinal revealed a strong urine smell, making Ricky nauseous.
Wendy was also disgusted, her head spinning from the overpowering scent. It nearly made her faint.
Seeing the two still hesitating, Dondie sternly said, "If you keep dawdling, I'll make you lick the toilet!"
The threat scared them, and Ricky gathered courage, leaning towards the white porcelain urinal. He tentatively licked it once, immediately retching.
Beside him, Wendy reluctantly followed suit, closing her eyes and gently licking the urinal.
Ricky had an ugly expression, black and green, looking at Dondie and pleading, "Dondie, we've licked it. Can you let us go now?"
Dondie turned to Charlie, "Master Wade, what's your opinion?"
Charlie crossed his arms, sneering, "This is too easy! Just a touch of the tongue won't do. What a joke!"
Dondie anxiously asked, "Master Wade, what do you mean?"
Charlie pointed at the sixteen urinals, "Here's the deal, let each of them lick eight. With fair distribution, no one gets shortchanged. They must lick every inch, leaving no spot untouched!"
Everyone present was stunned...
Master Wade was too ruthless!
Licking eight urinals each?!
These urinals were imported Kohler urinals, grand and imposing, about 1.2 meters high. Licking one would be enough to make someone sick, let alone eight...
Ricky was on the verge of collapse at this point, and Wendy burst into tears, pleading with Charlie on her knees, "Charlie, you're at least my brother-in-law. For the sake of my ignorance, can you let me go this time?"
Ricky also clasped his hands, continuously pleading, "Master Wade, you're a generous person, give us a way out..."
Charlie nodded, saying, "I'm giving you a way out. After licking eight, I'll let you go immediately."
Chapter 410
Ricky's expression was worse than losing his father. With a mournful face, he said, "Master Wade, eight is too much, and one of them is so big. No one can bear this thing..."
"Oh, can't bear it?" Charlie chuckled, looking at Dondie, "Call Orvel, take these two to his dog fighting arena. Just like that Hong Kong swindler, chop them up and feed them to the dogs!"
Dondie immediately nodded and said, "Yes, Master Wade!"
Initially, the Hong Kong swindler named Donald Ming, who cheated the young lady on Feng Shui, was fed to the dogs by Orvel after being exposed.
Orvel had done such things not once or twice before, he was quite experienced.
Hearing this, Ricky and Wendy were terrified.
At this moment, who would dare to bargain?
Ricky, driven by the strongest survival instinct, blurted out, "I'll lick! I'll lick! I'll start licking now!"
After saying that, he immediately pounced on the nearby urinal, stuck out his tongue, and endured the disgust of licking it.
The pungent smell made him gag while licking, but he didn't dare to delay, fearing being taken away to feed the dogs. So, he had to continue licking with a determined effort.
Wendy cried bitterly, licking the urinal while sobbing.
Charlie spoke up, "Wendy, this row has been claimed by Ricky. Now, you're helping him. The row you need to lick is at the back."
Wendy wailed, realizing that her previous efforts were in vain. She crawled to the back row, hugging the urinal, and began licking.
This was the greatest humiliation and torment she had ever endured in her life.
Not wanting to witness more of this bizarre spectacle, Charlie instructed Dondie, "Remember, make sure they lick it clean before releasing them!"
Dondie hurriedly said, "Rest assured, Master Wade. I'll personally ensure they do."
Charlie nodded and turned, entering the private elevator, and heading to the fifteenth floor.
As Dondie respectfully saw him off, he nervously said, "Master Wade, what happened just now was due to my oversight. I hope you can forgive me."
Charlie calmly responded, "Keep an eye on those two. If they lick earnestly and thoroughly, consider the matter settled."
Dondie nodded anxiously, "Master Wade, please trust me. If they miss a spot, I'll make sure they regret it!"
He couldn't help but plead, "Master Wade, there's one more thing I'd like to request..."
Charlie replied, "Go on."
Dondie bowed respectfully, "Master Wade, please don't tell Miss about what happened just now. Your great kindness, I'll remember it for a lifetime!"
Dondie was just a servant of the Walker family, and Charlie was a highly esteemed guest. If Miss Sarah knew about this incident, Dondie would undoubtedly face severe consequences, even risking his position as the head steward.
Charlie understood this. He nodded, "Fine, I'll help you this time. If there's any involvement with such people in the future, don't blame me for being unkind."
Dondie immediately expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Master Wade!"
