Dream on!" 5 Kevin collapsed and wailed, "Charlie, I'm really sorry, please help me..." Looking at Charlie's displeased expression, Albert shouted to his men, "D*mn it you fools, what are you waiting for? Get your hands on him now!" His bodyguards were startled in shock. Then, they swiftly grabbed Kevin's neck and hair, and started beating the crap out of him! Soon, blood flooded Kevin's mouth and a few of his teeth were broken, but Albert's bodyguards showed no signs of stopping. Every slap they swung towards Kevin's face was fast and hard! 1 Albert turned to Charlie and asked with a flattering smile, "Mr. Wade, are you satisfied with our work?" Charlie nodded casually. "Very good. Okay, that's it, I have to go now." Albert handed his ncard to Charlie respectfully and said, "Mr. Wade, this is my number. Please call you if you have any business to settle, I'll always be just a call away." Charlie nodded slightly and put the card into his pocket.

I didn't know you were so powerful, you're such a brilliant and promising young man!" 2 "Yes! Charlie, look at you, smart and handsome-you're the role model of the youngsters nowadays. My son-in-law is nothing compared to you." "Erm, may I ask if you can help us to negotiate with Mr. Jordan to return our money, please? It's our hard-earned money!" Charlie frowned in annoyance and said coldly, "Why should I help you? You all sounded so cocky and pompous just now. If you can't get your money back today, go ask your own son-in-law to help!" 4 Then, he turned in a huff and left.

On the way home, Elaine smiled coyly and asked Charlie, "Charlie, how do you know Don Albert? Why is he so polite towards you?" Charlie replied in a casual tone, "No, I don't know him. Who am I to know someone like him? I just called a friend who is powerful enough to make Axel refund the money." 2 Elaine was a little disappointed when she heard it.
