The Amazing Son-in-Law: Chapters 1141-1145

Chapter 1141

Late one night, Charlie Wade and his wife slept soundly when Charlie's cell phone buzzed twice. Worried about disturbing his wife, he quickly checked the phone and found two WeChat messages from Don Albertt. The time was midnight.

The message read: "Master Wade, something's happened at Golim Mountain. Liam and I are at your doorstep. Could you come out?"

Charlie frowned. An incident at Golim Mountain suggested the Webb family was targeting the Weaver family father and son. He quietly went downstairs, where he found Don Albertt and Liam waiting anxiously.

"What happened?" Charlie asked.

Don Albertt explained, "Over half an hour ago, the Webb family sent sixteen men to Golim Mountain. They intended to capture the Weaver family father and son. A gunfight ensued; Liam and I killed fifteen, but one escaped."

Charlie nodded. "Casualties?"

Liam reported, "Master Wade, I lost three men; Don Albertt lost one—four in total."

Charlie replied, "It's a victory overall."

Don Albertt added, "I fear the Webb family won't stop. They'll likely attack Golim Mountain again in full force. Liam and I are gathering reinforcements, but I worry they'll unleash their trump card—the Eight Heavenly Kings."

Charlie raised an eyebrow. "The Eight Heavenly Kings?"

Don Albertt continued, "Rumor has it the Webb family has eight incredibly powerful martial artists." He paused. "We can handle ordinary men, but martial arts masters are another matter. A dozen subordinates are inconsequential; I fear for your safety, Master Wade. If the Weaver family father and son are rescued, I'll be to blame!"

Charlie understood that wealthy families often employ powerful masters. The Wade family had many in his youth—masters far exceeding ordinary capabilities. Only top-tier masters could safeguard a multi-trillion-dollar family.

"Don Albertt, what's your suggestion?" Charlie asked.

Don Albertt responded urgently, "Master Wade, forgive me, but I believe the Weaver father and son should no longer live. Your enemies use them as bargaining chips. Instead of this, it's better to eliminate them and prevent future problems!"

Charlie smiled slightly. "If murder solved everything, the Webb family would have been eradicated long ago. Some deserve death—like common criminals—but othersit's pointless." He chuckled. "Consider Ichiro Kobayashi. He could have been killed, but why keep him? He's interesting, full of possibilities. His death would diminish the fun. The same applies to the Webb and Weaver families."

Charlie believed in balance. Kobayashi's life served to check his brother, Jiro. Keeping the Weaver family alive provided leverage against Liam, should his loyalty waver. It was a classic imperial strategy. A wise ruler never fully trusts a loyal official, nor a traitorous one, using them to counterbalance each other.

Charlie continued, "Killing the Weavers suggests fear of the Webb family—a sign of weakness, and I never show weakness. I suspect the Eight Heavenly Kings are already en route to Golim Mountain."

Don Albertt and Liam were stunned. Liam argued, "They wouldn't be so fast. They just lost fifteen men."

Charlie countered, "If Donald could mobilize martial artists, he would have done so earlier. This suggests the Webb patriarch himself is leading this charge. Old entrepreneurs are powerful. Mr. Webb rose from nothing, possessing greater ability and cunning than Donald. He'll strike when least expected—after a defeat, when everyone assumes retreat."

Don Albertt exclaimed, "Master Wade, what should we do? Send reinforcements?"

Charlie calmly waved his hand. "Sending men against martial artists is suicide. Don't worry; I have my own plans. There's plenty of time."

Liam, relieved, expressed his gratitude. He feared losing Weaver Pharmaceuticals.

Chapter 1143

Charlie, shifting the topic, asked Liam about Weaver Pharmaceuticals. Liam reported stable overall development, but obstacles in new markets.

Charlie questioned this, considering Weaver's domestic dominance. Liam explained their investment in a new Chinese patent medicine to treat stomach ailments. It proved highly effective.

Charlie nodded, noting a lack of prominent Chinese stomach remedies beyond Sanjiuweitai. Liam explained that a foreign company, Kobayashi Pharmaceuticals, had acquired a similar ancient prescription and created a superior stomach powder, capturing the market.

Charlie frowned. Kobayashi Pharmaceuticals, previously weak, had become highly competitive, leveraging their advanced laboratory and R&D capabilities.

Charlie was surprised by Jiro Kobayashi's quick recovery after his massive financial loss orchestrated by Charlie himself. Liam lamented the appropriation of their ancestral knowledge.

Charlie asked about the impact of Kobayashi Pharmaceuticals. Liam detailed substantial damage to their income, particularly from stomach remedies. Furthermore, the World College Sanda Fighting Competition, sponsored by Kobayashi Pharmaceuticals, was approaching, and Jiro Kobayashi's potential attendance was rumored.

Chapter 1144

Charlie possessed countless superior stomach medicine recipes from the "Apocalyptic Book." However, he wouldn't help Liam for free.

"Liam, I have superior recipes. If I invest using these recipes, how much of Weaver Pharmaceuticals would you give me?"

Liam instantly replied, "Master Wade, I owe you everything. Weaver Pharmaceuticals is yours. Just say the word!"

Charlie proposed an 80% stake in exchange for the superior recipes and a guarantee of future growth into a multi-billion dollar company. This would significantly increase Liam's personal wealth. Liam agreed without hesitation.

Charlie wasn't exploiting Liam; the recipes were priceless. He aimed for a win-win scenario. Charlie instructed Liam to await a contract and the recipes the next day.

Don Albertt inquired about the Webb family. Charlie replied, "I have a plan; don't worry."

Chapter 1145

Charlie had two options: request Stephen Thompson send Wade family masters to intercept the Eight Heavenly Kings, or personally confront them at Golim Mountain.

He chose the latter, confident in his enhanced skills from studying the "Apocalyptic Book" and consuming Rejuvenation Pills. He needed to act quickly, as the Eight Heavenly Kings were likely already en route.

He called Cameron Isaac, requesting a private jet and a helicopter to transport him to Golim Mountain. Cameron readily agreed, emphasizing the Wade family's emphasis on speed. He would also arrange a helicopter at Golim Mountain Airport.

Charlie accepted Don Albertt and Liam's offers to accompany him, recognizing their loyalty and seeing this as an opportunity to demonstrate his power, particularly to Liam, solidifying his loyalty. The helicopter arrived, and they headed to the airport.
