Harvey replied hurriedly, "Master Wade, I am good! All thanks to you and Director Lane!" As soon as Charlie heard what Harvey said, his facial expression turned serious, and he replied solemnly," Buddy, everyone can callMaster Wade, but you're a n exception!" Harvey spoke awkwardly, "How can I be an exception when even Director Lane greeted you as Master Wade?" Charlie walked to him, patted his shoulder, and said seriously, "Buddy, they greetedas Master Wade just because I've more or less lent them a helping hand. However, you're different!" 2 Harvey added hurriedly, "You're the one who helpedget to where I am today.... You're my cornerstone, and in fact, I should respect you more than the others!" Charlie looked slightly displeased and said," Bidiculous! Both of us grew up together in Aurous Hill's Welfare Institute together. Although we're not biological brothers, those days in the institute have cultivated us to be like one!" "All these years, we've helped each other, dependent On one another through thick and thin. It is very common to support one another between brothers, so why do you need to thankso humbly?" The moment Harvey heard these, he felt deeply grateful. At the stime, he also felt a bit regretful. 1 He thought to himself, 'I've always been afraid that I'm not a match for Charlie and his current status. As a result, I began to fear him. Nonetheless, the more I keep a distance from him, the more we stray away from each other. Little did I know Charlie has always treatedlike his own brother; he must have felt bad whenever I treated him too respectfully like the rest..." With tears in his eyes, Harvey said, "Charlie, I get your words! Thank you, brother!" Charlie smiled again and nodded his head as he said," God damn it! Now, this is my real brother! Another word of 'Master Wade' from your mouth, and I'll break our brotherhood instantly!" Harvey replied hurriedly, "Charlie, please rest assured that I won't greet you as Master Wade in the future. You are unlike any masters to me. You're a brother to me, my brother for life!" Charlie nodded gently, then said satisfactorily, "I'm delighted to hear these words from you!" 2 At this moment, Jacob and Claire walked out to the yard.
Both of them thought it was their duty to provide good hospitality to Charlie's guests. As such, they hurriedly tidied up and invited the guests to have a seat. Nevertheless, they soon realized that the number of guests was apparently more than their expectations! To their added horror, a majority of these people were Aurous VIPs! Claire felt inferior, especially when she compared herself to Jasmine. If only she knew Jasmine was outside, she would have applied smakeup on herself. 2 Claire normally went out without any makeup on and dressed rather casually. Today was no exception. As such, the moment she compared herself with the dashing Jasmine, she felt inferior, s Jacob knew that his son-in-law was very capable that even most of his customers were VIPs. Therefore, he was used to such scenes.
However, when he saw Anthony Simmons, Jacob immediately greeted him respectfully, "I'm glad to see you here, Dr. Simmons! I should have visited you instead since you're my savior!" Anthony couldn't help but feel slightly embarrassed. He knew that the accident that caused Jacob to suffer from high paraplegia was cured by Charlie's magical medicine instead of his own contribution. Seeing Jacob treat him so respectfully, he couldn't help but felt a bit guilty. So, he said hurriedly, "You're most welcome, Mr. Wilson. I am indebted to Master Wade. As such, I should pay this visit myself!" At this moment, Albert walked over and hugged Jacob. He bowed his body slightly and said respectfully, "Good to see you, Mr. Wilson! I wish you a prosperous Happy Oskian New Year in advance!" Jacob had met with Albert several times at The Heaven Springs. Hence, they were quite close to each other. Jacob then smiled as he said, "You're most welcome, Mr. Albert. I wish you a Happy Oskian New Year too!" 1
Albert was stunned and said hurriedly, "Mr. Wilson, please callAlbert. There's no heed to greetin En: this manner." 1
Jacob was flattered and thought to himself, 'I've never thought that I would be respected by someone who is a s prestigious as the emperor of the Aurous underground world, Albert. Moreover, the spread of the news on such an ample amount of VIPs visiting my house will definitely cause many people's jaws to drop!' X
