As the sound echoed through the room, everyone turned their attention to the door, where a middle-aged man in a sharp suit entered the ward. Jason and Dr. Lynch were immediately taken aback, their faces paling and jaws dropping in shock.
It was none other than the esteemed king of Aurous Hill’s underworld, Don Albert Rhodes!
What on earth was happening?!
Why was he here?<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Before Jason and Dr. Lynch could process his unexpected presence, the next moment left them utterly astonished, as if struck by a bolt of lightning!
A contingent of individuals stormed into the room with the urgency of a SWAT team. Among them were Doris Young, Zeke White, Graham Quinton, Travis Lane, Anthony Simmons, and others! These were influential figures from both Aurous Hill and Lancaster!
They approached Charlie directly, bowing respectfully as they greeted him, “Master Wade!”
Charlie, intrigued, asked, “What brings all of you here?”
Don Albert replied, “Master Wade, we rushed over as soon as we learned about your father-inw’s ident. I hope we’re not imposing with our sudden visit.”
Charlie smiled warmly. “Thank you for your thoughtfulness.”
His casual tone, though simple, was enough to make these distinguished guests blush with excitement; they even shivered a little from the thrill of his acknowledgment.
Meanwhile, ine watched the scene unfold in disbelief. She thought to herself, ‘Oh no! Charlie the trickster is getting even better at his deception! Look at all these VIPs falling for his schemes! What if the truthes out one day? We’ll all be in trouble!’
She couldn’t bring herself to believe that Charlie possessed any real talent. ine knew his backstory all too well. Orphaned at eight, he spent his childhood in a welfare home. As a teen, he juggled various part-time jobs, including delivering goods, servicing air-conditioning units, and even cleaning windows on high rises. Eventually, he was taken in by Lord Wilson and married ire.

Jason stood speechless, particrly when he spotted Jasmine Moore among the group!
Jasmine was the esteemed daughter of the Moore family!
Inparison, the Grant family was insignificant next to the illustrious Moore family, and even Jason’s father could not approach her without proper standing!
Yet here was the stunning and sophisticated Jasmine Moore treating Charlie the loser with such deference!
This made no sense!
Jason struggled to understand why someone so wealthy and refined would show respect to Charlie, whom he considered a deadbeat. Clearing his throat, he blurted out in surprise, “Miss Moore, why do you refer to him as Master Wade? He’s just a deadbeat loser; could you have mistaken him for someone else?”
Jasmine’s expression darkened as she reprimanded him, “Be quiet! How dare you question Master Wade?!”
Graham, standing beside her, scoffed, “Master Wade is the one true dragon in the world, possessing unimaginable power and strength. There’s no way we would mistake him for anyone else!”
Zeke chimed in, “Exactly! Master Wade is held in high regard and honor in Aurous Hill. Who do you think you are to address him so casually, you scoundrel?!”
