Chapter 169
Everyone had been fighting for the leadership position with their lives earlier but right now, all of them were eager for Charlie to lead the entire metaphysics circle in Aurous Hill and even the Newton area. None of the guests had any objections at all as they have all been completely convinced by Charlie’s skills.
They have never seen anyone else like Charlie who could command heavenly thunder and lightning with just one word!
This was indeed the realm of metaphysics. Charlie had supernatural powers beyond everyone’s imagination!
When they looked at Jack, who was lying on the ground after being scorched by lightning, they knew that Charlie’s powers and strength were unfathomable. Therefore, they wanted Charlie to be their leader so he could lead and give them the best advice and guidance.
Charlie frowned before he said, “I am not a member of the metaphysics circle and I do not usually study Feng Shui. I am also not really interested in metaphysics. Therefore, I hope you’ll allow Finn to lead and guide you in the future instead.”
Everyone’s mouth fell wide open in shock as soon as Charlie spoke.
He had already shocked them completely with the thunder and lightning earlier and Charlie was actually saying that he had no interest in Feng Shui or metaphysics at all? He was not a member of the metaphysics circle?
So, did Charlie summon the thunder and lightning simply because he had momentary interest in metaphysics?
Respect!
Utter respect!
The crowd of people was silent at this time as they exchanged glances with one another.
At this time, Finn glanced at Charlie with a hesitant look on his face as he said in a respectful manner, “It is indeed a great honor to share the worries on your behalf, Mr. Wade. From now on, I will definitely take good care of all the members in the metaphysics circle. I will make sure to handle all the minor matters on my own but I will definitely ask for your advice on any major issues, Mr. Wade.”
The atmosphere was much more relaxed and at this point, the richest man in Lancaster, Travis, suddenly walked towards Charlie as he said respectfully, “Mr. Wade, I would like to thank you for what you’ve done for all of us today. Therefore, I would like to offer you an eighty million dollar reward as a token of my appreciation.”
Matthew also stepped forward to thank Charlie even though he was still feeling very embarrassed. “Thank you, Mr. Wade, for helping to divert harm away from us. From now on, anyone under my care will also be respectful towards you!”
“We will definitely obey your commands!”
The crowd of people did not want to be left behind when they saw the two men stepping forward to thank Charlie. Therefore, they flattered Charlie, offered to buy him dinner, and some of them even offered to give him some cash rewards.
Finn also said, “The White family has already promised to sponsor a total of one hundred and fifty million dollars for all of the winners at the banquet today. Since you are the ultimate winner, I think that this cash reward should naturally be awarded to you, Mr. Wade.”
Zeke was still kneeling on the ground as he did not dare to get up at all. At this time, he hurriedly said, “Mr. Wade, I am sorry for looking down on you and supporting the villain instead. I have almost caused
harm to all the other guests here today. I hope that you will be able to forgive me!”
Charlie frowned before he said, “Mr. White, didn’t you have complete trust in Mr. Yaleman before this?”
Zeke quickly lowered his head before he replied, “Mr. Wade, I was completely blinded by Mr. Yaleman! I know that he is nothing more than a bug in front of the real master now! I promise to keep my eyes open in the future and I will never go against you again! I promise to follow your orders and respect you for the rest of my life.”
After that, Zeke continued speaking, “Mr. Wade, in order to show you how sorry I am, I would like to give you a villa as a gift. I will pass you the key to the villa as soon as I send someone to clean the place up for you! Please accept my gift and forgive me for my actions, Mr. Wade!”
“A villa?”
Charlie could only frown as he thought about it.
A villa was nothing much to him.
However, it would be inappropriate for him to buy the villa on his own as he would not have any ways to explain the source of the funds to Claire.
So, why should he turn down the offer if someone wanted to give him a villa?
After all, his family was currently living in an old and run down house. It would be great for them to live in a better environment.
Even though Zeke was a little hateful, it seemed as though he was truly repentant and he felt very guilty and remorseful.
Therefore, Charlie nodded before he said, “Alright then, I will accept your gift. However, please remember that I will not let you off so easily should something like this happen again in the future.”
