Chapter 14 Anytime

Charles's gaze exuded a strong sense of intimidation.

This was an ability that he had never mastered before he went to prison.

Robert, who had been planning to continue his defiance, suddenly began to retreat. 

As one of the core members of the Wilson family, who owned assets worth billions of dollars, he was being intimidated by a former convict.

It would be unbelievable to anyone who witnessed it.

Robert was now in a difficult position.

If he didn't back down, Elder Gray's identity was there, and he wouldn't dare to act recklessly.

But if he did back down, the Wilson family would become a laughingstock throughout Starbain.

It was Elder Gray, who reminded him, "Endure a moment for a peaceful life, take a step back for an open world."

His eldest son and youngest son were both beaten up, and even his future daughter-in-law was about to be snatched away.

No one could swallow this insult easily.

Even with Elder Gray's advice, what difference would it make?

The Wilson family had plenty of money.

If necessary, Robert could continue to spend money and establish connections with experts from other ancient martial arts sects. 

"Today, the Wilson family has become a laughingstock. All the guests, please leave now," Robert said, just as he was about to have a falling out.

But then, a powerful voice resonated from the second floor. 

The voice was deep and authoritative, seemingly belonging to an old man in his seventies or eighties. 

The guests, who had intended to continue watching the spectacle, looked up and immediately greeted the old man before turning to leave.

Without another word, they greeted each other and turned to leave.

The old man was Leonard Wilson, the current head of the Wilson family and the helm of the Wilson Group, the largest conglomerate in Starbain.

In today's Starbain business world, everyone had to give him face.

As he became older, Elder Wilson wanted to enjoy his retirement at home. 

However, not long after he retired, the younger generation of the Wilson family got into big trouble.

"Dad!" Robert saw Elder Wilson as his savior and quickly went upstairs to explain what had happened.

But unexpectedly, Elder Wilson raised his cane and knocked it on the ground, saying, "From now on, close your mouth and don't speak!"

No one had anticipated such a rage from the patriarch of the Wilson family. 

Elder Gray, in an attempt to get closer to Charles, smiled and greeted Elder Wilson, "Leonard, it's been a while. You're looking well, I must say."

"Hah, thank you, George, for your praise. But my body is deteriorating day by day," Leonard replied.

After the pleasantries, Elder Gray got straight to the point, "How do you see the situation today?"

The guests had all left, including Tom and Sarah, who took one last look at Charles before departing.

They couldn't believe that Charles had the ability to challenge the Wilson family, but unfortunately, they couldn't stay at the scene any longer.

"Youngster, by making the Wilson family lose face in front of everyone, have you not considered the possibility of the Wilson family seeking ruthless revenge?" Elder Wilson calmly asked.

Although he was already 78 years old this year, he looked no different from someone in his early 60s.

Most importantly, his muscular physique made him appear to be around 50. 

The cane in his hand seemed like a useless prop, but who knows, perhaps he used it specifically to strike people's heads.

It would be a lie to say that he was not nervous. after all, Elder Wilson's presence was incredibly strong. 

Just standing there was enough to make the younger generation tremble.

However, compared to Elder Hall in prison, Elder Wilson was nothing to be concerned about.

"If the Wilson family wants revenge, I'm ready to accompany you," Charles calmly replied.

Upon hearing Charles's response, Evelyn suddenly tightened her grip on his sleeve and said, "Apologize and leave this place. Never come back."

Apologize? What was wrong with this woman?

Charles didn't pay her any attention and locked eyes with Elder Wilson on the second floor.

Elder Wilson wasn't actually concerned about Charles, this younger generation.

He was worried about Elder Gray standing next to him. 

It was precisely because he knew Elder Gray's capabilities well, he knew how terrifying he could be.

Elder Wilson quickly changed his serious demeanor and smiled at Charles, saying, "You may leave."

"Dad, how can you let him leave? If he leaves today, then the Wilson family..." Henry asked.

"What did I just say?"

Elder Wilson suddenly stared expressionlessly at his eldest son.

With just one sentence, Henry was scared to be silent.

Charles didn't leave immediately but turned to Elder Wilson and asked," I want to take her with me. Is that okay?""

Evelyn's eyes flickered upon hearing his words. 

She had thought that the man in front of her would coldly walk away without a second thought.

"Of course, it's no problem," Elder Wilson replied with simplicity.

Those few simple words left the entire Wilson family feeling disappointed. 

No one had expected that their patriarch, who had always been dominant, would now make a mistake in such a matter.

Letting them go wasn't just about letting two people leave, it was about the Wilson family's status in the Starbain aristocratic circle!

In fact, Charles was also surprised. 

He hadn't expected the Wilson family's patriarch to be so accommodating.

With Brian escorting them, they left the hall. 

Charles paused along the way and looked at the bewildered Evelyn, furrowing his brow. "Do you want to leave or not?"

"Huh? I... I want to leave!" 

As Brian's subordinates opened the doors to the Wilson family mansion, Charles and Evelyn left the engagement banquet openly.

Those who wanted to continue watching the show were all dumbfounded!

Including Tom and Sarah, they looked at each other in the car.

When they arrived at the parking lot, Brian immediately opened the door of the Lexus LM for Charles.

"Young Master, after you!"

Charles was about to get in the car when he saw Evelyn still looked very stiff.

She suspected that it was just a dream.

The dream was both real and unreal.

The man whom she had been searching for and wanted to silently protect after returning to her country, now dared to challenge the prestigious Wilson family in public.

What's more, he was able to leave easily while causing the Wilson family to lose face.

Was this still the same Charles she had known before?

"Get in the car and tell me the truth."

He had rescued her not because of her beauty but because he wanted to know why she had gotten him imprisoned.

"Charles, can I go home first? I promise to tell you all the truth afterward!" Evelyn requested anxiously.

Faced with Evelyn's plea, Charles suddenly sneered, "Just like before, I saved you, and then you quietly left?"

"I... I want to go home and visit my Grandpa!"

Evelyn looked anxious.

Her agreement to marry Henry had various reasons behind it. 

Besides the promised business collaboration between the Wilson family and Thompson, they had also promised to help find a divine doctor to treat Evelyn's grandfather.

Evelyn's grandfather had been bedridden and in a comatose state for the past six months. 

The family had considered giving up, but Evelyn was still searching for a solution. 

Through various means, she learned about the connection between the Wilson family and ancient medical martial arts, and she believed that Henry could help her find the legendary divine doctor.

Now that she publicly called off the engagement, it meant that the Wilson family couldn't help her anymore.

When Charles heard about her grandfather, a kind and gentle figure appeared in his mind. 

When Evelyn transferred to their school, her grandfather had accompanied her, and Charles even ran into him by chance and asked for directions when he got lost. 

Later, when they bumped into each other at school, the elder even smiled and hoped that he could help take care of Evelyn.

Now, in retrospect, Charles realized that Starbain was such a small place. 

The largest shareholder behind Sarah's entertainment company, YNT Entertainment Company, was this old master.

Hence, he reminded Brian to drive to the Thompson mansion.
