The Amazing Son-in-Law: Chapters 106-110
Chapter 106
Charlie Wade coldly replied before reversing to leave. Seeing this, Mr. Quinton assumed Charlie was trying to escape. He shouted, โStop him! I canโt be bothered by you?! Hahaha! Thereโs nobody in Aurouss Hill I canโt afford to annoy!โ He continued, โGet him, break his legs! I want to know who dares to defy the Quintons!โ
Mr. Quinton believed Charlie was a competitorโs plant. Otherwise, how would he know about his earlier car accident?
The bodyguards immediately charged at Charlie. Two others approached Jacob Wilson, roughly grabbing him. Jacob was terrified; he hadnโt expected this while antiquing.
As soon as the bodyguards seized Jacob, Charlieโs expression changed. He kicked the bodyguard in front of him, then rushed to Jacobโs side, punching the bodyguard holding him.
Bam!
The bodyguard fell, his nose bleeding profusely. Another bodyguard produced an electric baton, shouting at Charlie.
โAhh!โ Jacob cried, seeing the baton. โRun, Charlie Wade!โ
Before Jacob finished, Charlie swiftly dodged the baton, quickly subduing the bodyguard and pinning his arms behind his back.
Bam!
The bodyguard crumpled, unable to free himself. Jacob was speechless, barely recognizing his son-in-law. Had he always been such a skilled fighter?
Charlie picked up the baton and asked, โAnyone else want to test me?โ
The crowd was silent, staring at Charlie. Zachary was surprised, relieved he hadnโt provoked Charlie recently.
โBro, youโre impressive!โ
Regaining his composure, Jacob asked, shocked, โCharlie, where did you learn to fight?โ
Charlie grinned. โDad, when Claireโs at work, I watch TV. Thereโs a fight show every morning. I learned from that.โ
In truth, Charlie had been fighting since childhood. He was highly skilled in boxing and wrestling, coming from a line of professional wrestlers. He couldnโt reveal this, needing to maintain his secret identity. He was surprised at his own increased strength; his fighting ability seemed far deadlier than usual. This was likely due toโฆ
He felt the reiki from the pebble heโd acquired flowing into his body, enhancing his fitness.
The crowd applauded, amazed by Charlie's skill. Who would have guessed he learned from a TV show? He must be incredibly gifted!
โYou learned from a TV show?!โ Zachary exclaimed, eyes wide. โBro, which show? I want to learn too!โ
Charlie smirked. โThe sports channel, quack!โ
Chapter 107
The crowd wanted to watch the sports channel immediately. Mr. Quintonโs face was grim. This was embarrassing! His expensive, professional bodyguards had been defeated by a kid who'd learned from TV?
Mr. Quinton wasnโt a fighter, but his bodyguards knew Charlie was an expert the moment he touched them. Even without exertion, his moves were lethal. They wouldn't easily defeat him. They stared at Charlie with curious expressions.
Jacob, unfamiliar with fighting, attributed Charlieโs victory to luck and superior strength, unaware of Charlieโs expertise.
Charlie smiled at Mr. Quinton. โSo, youโre coming for me yourself?โ
โYou! Donโt come near me!โ
Terrified, Mr. Quinton cowered, backing away as Charlie advanced.
A black BMW pulled up. The driver opened the door for a passenger. Mr. Quinton was relieved at the arrival.
โSister! Someoneโs threatening me! Save me!โ
Charlie saw a woman in black athletic wear approach. Her physique was striking, and she had a tough face.
โThatโs Adam Quintonโs sister, Aurora Quinton!โ someone shouted. The crowd erupted.
Adam pleaded, โSis, this kidโs threatening me! Teach him a lesson!โ
Aurora glared at the fallen bodyguards and at Charlie. โYou beat them up?โ
Charlie replied emphatically, โSo what? Whatโs wrong with that?โ
Aurora sneered. โApologize to my brother!โ
โWhat if I refuse?โ
โThen Iโll beat you until you do!โ
Before she finished, Aurora launched a powerful kick. Charlie was surprised; her skill surpassed the previous bodyguards. Her kick was fast and powerful, clearly professional.
Chapter 108
Adam exclaimed, โMy sister will kick your ass!โ Sheโd trained for years and was highly skilled.
Adam's eyes widened the next moment.
โToo weak!โ
Charlie dodged Auroraโs kick, then countered with a kick to her backside, sending her sprawling.
Adamโs jaw dropped. โThisโฆ how is this possible?!โ
Aurora was mortified. Sheโd never been so humiliated, especially in such an awkward spot.
Enraged, Aurora prepared to attack. Sheโd make him pay!
โAurora, stop! Donโt be disrespectful to Mr. Wade.โ
A middle-aged man intervened, grabbing Auroraโs arm.
Aurora, furious, screamed, โFather! Get out of my way! Iโll kill him! He kicked me in the butt!โ
โStop!โ the man yelled, glaring at Aurora. He then approached Charlie respectfully. โMr. Wade, we meet again.โ
Aurora and Adam were stunned. Auroraโs father, a respected figure, was being deferential to this young man?
Charlie recognized him from a previous appraisal: Graham Quinton.
Charlie nodded. โMr. Quinton, it seems you need to discipline your nephew.โ
Graham bowed, then sternly commanded Aurora and Adam, โApologize to Mr. Wade immediately!โ
โIโll never apologize to that bastard!โ Aurora retorted.
Graham lost his patience. โApologize! Now!โ
Seeing her fatherโs anger, Aurora mumbled, โIโm sorryโฆโ
Adam, indignant, said, โUncle, he humiliated me and kicked Aurora! You should teach him a lesson! If you canโt, I will!โ
Slap!
Graham slapped Adam. โYou fool! Get on your knees and apologize to Mr. Wade!โ
Adam was shocked. He couldnโt believe his uncle was humiliating him publicly.
Gritting his teeth, Graham yelled, โIf Mr. Wade hadnโt told you about the chalcedony pendant, it wouldโve killed you! The entire Quinton family would be dead because of you!โ He continued, โIโve wondered why the family has suffered so much bad luck lately. It was because of that pendant!โ
Understanding his uncleโs fury, Adam knelt before Charlie, terrified.
Graham yelled, โI donโt hear an apology!โ
โYes! Yes, Iโm sorryโฆโ Adam stammered.
Graham addressed Charlie, โMr. Wade, is there anything else we can do to appease you?โ
Chapter 109
Charlie said, โForget it. Heโs apologized, Iโll let it go this time.โ
Graham sighed in relief. โMr. Wade, will the Quinton family avoid future tragedy since Adam discarded the pendant?โ
Charlie sneered. โDid you think it would be that easy? That jade pendant was powerful, and it affected more than just Adam. The Quintons will be ruined within a year.โ
Graham was shocked. Ruined? Such a heavy price? He paled. โIโve done good deeds my whole life. How did I end up like this?โ
Charlie smiled. โWas that why you wanted to buy the topaz?โ
Graham nodded. Heโd tried everything, but nothing worked until he met Charlie. Heโd initially dismissed Charlie as just an appraiser. Now he knew Charlie wasnโt ordinary. He might be their only hope.
Graham clasped his hands, pleading, โMr. Wade, please help my family!โ He instructed his aide, who left.
Charlie faintly smiled. โMr. Quinton, I suggest you solve your family problems yourselves.โ He had no connection to the Quintons. Graham was a casual acquaintance, and Adam had offended him. Auroraโs attractiveness held no sway.
Graham wouldnโt give up. He bowed deeply. โMr. Wade, please tell me how to save my family.โ He bowed at a ninety-degree angle.
Charlie remained unmoved. Seeing this, Graham knelt down. Aurora followed suit, pleading, โMr. Wade, I was wrong. Iโm sorry. The fate of the Quintons is in your hands. Please help us.โ
Aurora slapped Adam, scolding him, โThis is your fault! You angered Mr. Wade, the only one who can help us! Kneel and apologize!โ
Adam, terrified, knelt, pleading, โMr. Wade, Iโm wrong. Please forgive me and help us!โ He knocked his head against the ground.
Grahamโs aide returned with a gift box. Graham gave it to Charlie. โMr. Wade, this is the most expensive jade bracelet in Emerald Court.โ
The crowd gasped, recognizing the six-million-dollar bracelet.
Chapter 110
Jacob was astonished. Charlie hadnโt accepted the bracelet. He looked at Graham, smiling. โMr. Quinton, why are you so sure I can solve this?โ
Graham replied devoutly, โIf Mr. Wade canโt handle it, no one else can!โ
Charlie grinned; Graham was right. He knew how to solve it. He examined the bracelet, noting its clarity. It would look stunning on Claireโs hand.
Graham hadnโt done anything truly evil; his fault was failing to properly guide his family. Since he was begging, Charlie would help.
Charlie said, โSince youโre begging, Iโll help.โ He accepted the bracelet.
Graham was overjoyed. โMr. Wade, thank you! The Quintons are influential in Aurouss Hill. If you need help, please ask.โ
The crowd was shocked; there was hope for the Quintons!
Charlie thought for a moment. โAlright, Iโll help.โ
Graham shook Charlieโs hand excitedly.
Charlie asked for yellow paper and cinnabar from a nearby antique shop. After drawing on the paper, he gave it to Graham.
โPut this amulet on the jade pendant and bring it home. Burn incense daily. After seven to forty-nine days, the evil spirit will be removed. During that time, your family must be vegan, avoid killing and blood, shower daily, and burn incense without fail.โ
โMr. Wade, thank you. Iโll remember.โ
Graham felt lighter and refreshed immediately. He was overjoyed.
Zachary, awestruck, approached Charlie. โBig brother, can you help me? How do I get a beautiful wife?โ
Charlie frowned. โIf you want a beautiful wife, get plastic surgery first.โ
Aurora smirked; Zachary was indeed hideous. Charlie, however, was handsome.
