The Amazing Son-in-Law: Chapters 1306-1310

Chapter 1306

"No," Cameron Isaac smiled. "It's said the necklace bent his intestines and got stuck, requiring emergency surgery. Apparently, Sam was in the ward before the operation, preparing to have intercourse with a nurse when he was interrupted by his grandparents and parents. The woman was terrified."

Charlie Wade smiled. "I don't understand how the Thomas family, a supposedly first-class Eastcliff family, could produce such a pathetic offspring."

Cameron Isaac nodded and sighed. "Honestly, the descendants of prominent families are weaker with each generation. Someone as outstanding as you is unparalleled in the country."

Charlie Wade chuckled. "Don't flatter me."

Cameron Isaac quickly said, "Master, I speak from the heart! I worry that after Sam recovers, he'll seek revenge. The Thomas family is far stronger than the Webb family, possessing many top masters. If they attack you, it will be difficult. Should I inform the master to have him speak to the Thomas family? His word would deter them."

Charlie Wade smiled and waved his hand. "I haven't decided if I'll return to the Wade family. Therefore, I should minimize reliance on the Wade family's help and my status as Young Master Wade."

Cameron Isaac urged, "Master, you shouldn't be so detached. Before Steward Thompson found you, the master constantly spoke of you. You should return; at the very least, visit the old man."

Charlie Wade shook his head. "Returning isn't impossible, but not now." He harbored resentment and caution toward the Wade family. Their business dealings were fierce even under his father, and the situation must be more complex now. Although strong, he was still vastly outmatched by the Wade family. He preferred to achieve significant accomplishments and unassailable strength before returning. His current net worth—over 20 billion in cash plus Emgrand Group (mostly Wade family gifts)—was negligible compared to the family's wealth. His biggest assets were Kobayashi Pharmaceutical's 11 billion. Even that was a pittance to the Wade family.

He now owned 80% of Weaver's Pharmaceuticals, renamed Oracle Pharmaceuticals, where Liam oversaw production of his prescriptions. Once the medication was produced and approved, it would likely become a top-selling, highly effective gastric medicine. This, along with other medications from the Apocalyptic Book, would skyrocket Oracle's income. He would then acquire Kobayashi Pharmaceutical through Ichiro Kobayashi, merging it into Oracle. Oracle would become Asia's, and potentially the world's, largest pharmaceutical company. Only then would he confidently face the Wade family.

Chapter 1307

Early the morning after Isabella's wedding, while tending his vegetable garden, Charlie Wade received a call from Liam. Liam announced their stomach powder, made according to Charlie Wade's prescription, had received regulatory approval and was ready for sale. This formula from the Apocalyptic Book effectively treated common stomach ailments. Chronic stomach sufferers would experience significant improvement. It relieved stomach acid, bloating, pain, and discomfort caused by drinking, cold, or fatigue.

The formula originated with an ancient Chinese doctor, but China's traditional medicine had lagged. Similar products were primarily from Japan and Korea, such as Kobayashi's popular stomach powders. These powders, in individual sachets, provided quick relief. Kobayashi's powders were daily staples in Japan and many other countries, indicating high sales and profit margins.

The Apocalyptic Book formula was eight to ten times more effective than Kobayashi's, with minimal side effects and a pleasant fragrance. This new product, named Nova Dias by Charlie Wade, would be Oracle Pharmaceutical's first since the name change.

Liam reported, "Master Wade, the powder is amazing. Volunteers with stomach problems gave it extremely high marks. It's far superior to Japanese and Korean powders. They eagerly await its release!"

Charlie Wade hummed, asking, "When will it be mass-produced and sold?"

Liam replied, "We've produced over 50 tons. With approval granted, we can package and sell immediately."

Charlie Wade inquired, "How many packages from 50 tons of raw material, using the same specifications as Japan’s (1.3 grams per sachet, 48 sachets per box)?"

Liam responded, "62.4 grams of raw material per box, yielding 800,000 boxes."

Charlie Wade asked about the selling price. Kobayashi's was $150 per box; Liam suggested $400-$500 for Nova Dias due to its superior efficacy. He also noted their production cost was roughly $20 per box, similar to Kobayashi's $10 cost.

Chapter 1308

Charlie Wade decided, "Let's sell it for $150. With superior efficacy at the same price, we'll directly undercut competitors in Japan and Korea!"

Liam agreed, "No problem, Master Wade. I'll supply dealers at $150 per box."

Charlie Wade instructed, "Produce at full capacity. Don't worry about sales. We'll target domestic and international markets (Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia), competing directly with them in their home countries. We need ample supply for market penetration."

Liam, excited, exclaimed, "Japanese and Korean herbal medicines have suppressed us for years. Now we can finally fight back!"

He then asked about TV commercials and celebrity endorsements.

Charlie Wade agreed, specifying a clean-cut celebrity without scandals.

Liam suggested Stefanie Sun, a popular actress, singer, and Hollywood newcomer from a prominent family with a spotless reputation.

Chapter 1309

Charlie Wade nodded, leaving the decision to Liam. After hanging up, he gathered vegetables for breakfast. Claire Wilson had just come downstairs. Mentioning the call, he asked if she knew Stefanie Sun.

Claire excitedly replied, "Stefanie Sun? She's the most popular actress! She's my idol, a national idol. She's a great actress and singer! I heard she's giving a concert in Aurous Hill soon. I'm waiting for tickets."

Charlie Wade laughed, "I'm your husband, and I didn't even know she was your idol!"

Claire explained she hadn't mentioned it and preferred to keep her fandom private. Charlie realized a sponsorship with Stefanie Sun might please his wife.

Chapter 1310

While preparing breakfast, Charlie received a call from Aurora Quinton. Surprised, he answered.

Aurora shyly mentioned her upcoming Sanda competition. Charlie remembered promising to attend.

Aurora revealed her last preliminary match was that morning.

Charlie asked about the competition format. Aurora explained the multiple preliminary rounds, and that winning this match would secure her place in the top 8. She hadn’t told him earlier to avoid inconveniencing him.

Charlie readily agreed to attend, asking for the time and place. The match was at 10:00 AM at the Aurous Hill Gymnasium. Aurora offered to have her father pick him up.

Charlie inquired about her weight class. Aurora said 52 kg. Charlie joked about it being 104 kg, prompting Aurora to explain the weight class system (less than 48 kg, less than 52 kg, etc). She clarified her weight was 49.5 kg. Their conversation ended with light-hearted banter.

After breakfast, Claire went to her studio. Jacob Wilson was leaving for the Calligraphy and Painting Association. Charlie asked about his early departure. Jacob mentioned a visit from the University for the Elderly's calligraphy class, and Charlie realized Matilda would be there. He then asked his father-in-law for a ride to the gymnasium, mentioning it was on the way to the University for the Elderly. Elaine Ma complained about being left home alone, sparking an argument with Jacob before they left.
