In this situation, there is no way to leave the United States except by sneaking across the border.
All Blackwater executives thought there was still a chance.
So, they each grabbed the other’s passport information, rushed to the nearest international airport, and booked the earliest flight out of the United States.
As long as they can get out, even if it’s just to Mexico, they can immediately change their identity and flee to the next country.
Unfortunately, once these people arrived at the airport, without exception, they were caught red-handed by the FBI while going through customs.
Shortly afterward, the US government announced it would hold an emergency press conference that afternoon. They revealed the content of the press conference would be about Blackwater and the terrorist attack on White Horse Island, but media reporters were unaware of the specific circumstances.
Bernard Erno already knew that he had won miserably.
The US government will surely punish Blackwater harshly for its strong pressure.
Not only can he take credit from Charlie, but he can also start a great “profit points” business in the American market.
Then he immediately called Charlie.
By now, Charlie had returned home, and his family members were tired from the trip and had already fallen asleep.
After receiving a call from Bernard Erno, he went to an empty room on the first floor and answered the phone.
As soon as the call connected, Bernard Elno couldn’t help but say to Charlie excitedly, “Mr. Wade, the American government allowed those media to maliciously slander me. I just announced publicly that I have completely severed ties with them!”
Charlie pretended not to know and said with a smile, “Your decision to break up with them is your own. I respect your decision, and you don’t need to ask for instructions or report to me.”
“Damn it…”
Bernard Elno’s heart was pounding, and he nervously thought, “Will Charlie renege on his responsibility? If he considers my withdrawal from the American market a personal decision that wasn’t under his control, won’t he give me any points? Then, I’m done for!!”
He was so scared that his face turned pale, cold sweat broke out, and the arm holding the phone began to shake uncontrollably.
He suppressed his fear and asked hesitantly, “Mr. Wade… Mr. Wade… I was attending a press conference at the time and couldn’t consult with you in person, so I took the initiative to announce my withdrawal from the American market. I wonder if you can still give me some points?”
After saying this, she was very nervous, afraid that Charlie would say something wrong.
Charlie on the other end of the phone smiled faintly and said, “Your reputation is now at its peak. The whole world considers you the most righteous rich man. This time, not only have all your previous bad reputations disappeared, but your reputation has even reached its peak.”
More importantly, I speculate that even if you close the entire American market, your global sales will increase, not decrease. The American market will also expand to neighboring Canada and even all of Europe. So, you shouldn’t suffer any significant losses from this decision. You might even reach new heights. After all, you’ve already made a name for yourself on White Horse Island. With this trip to America, you’ve arguably reaped considerable fame and fortune.
Although Charlie had secretly approved of Bernard Elnoka Bug’s behavior in his heart, Charlie had to let Bernard know that he had seen through his inner plot. He had to make him understand this first, and then approve of his behavior, so that Bernard would know that he had let him go.
If I don’t reveal this, he might think his cleverness has fooled me and I don’t know his motives yet.
Understand him, express his problems, make him as nervous as possible, then forgive him. He will never dare to cheat or play tricks on you again, and he will be more grateful and respectful to you. This is what our ancestors often said – press first, then praise.
Moreover, I must point out everything I’ve given him—his incredible achievements at White Horse Island, his American spirit—all of these are opportunities and platforms I’ve created for him. Without me, how could he have achieved such a great reputation today?
This kind of reputation cannot be bought with money, and no one can buy this kind of appreciation.
Although Charlie does not have the astounding business acumen and means of Bernard Elno, his control over people’s hearts is far deeper than that of this 70-year-old man.
Therefore, he must hug her tightly!
At this time, Bernard Erno was indeed extremely panicked.
I thought this trick could attract Charlie’s attention, and even make Charlie, like everyone else, intimidated by my truth, but I didn’t expect that Charlie could see through all of its essence at a glance.
She felt as if she had been stripped naked in public, feeling embarrassed, nervous, and afraid.
So, he could only smile bitterly and said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Wade, I… I… I didn’t mean to play tricks on you. I was just very angry at the time, so I made this decision. And I’m very grateful to you. You not only saved my life, but you also gave me a great honor for White Horse Island and made me famous in America. My gratitude to you is indescribable…”
At this point, he trembled and said, “As for profits, you’re right. Judging by the reputation you’ve given me, even if I close the American market, the group’s overall revenue will definitely increase. I… I don’t have the face to ask you to calculate the points for me…”
At this point, Bernard Elno had given up on getting any points from Charlie.
He also knew in his heart that what Charlie said was true. Charlie had already given him so much, and he still dared to ask for points at this time. No matter who he told, everyone would think it was inappropriate.
However, if he failed to accumulate points this time, he would only be able to receive the US$200 million donated to the United Nations Counter-Terrorism Office. He was still 49.8 billion experience points short of obtaining the Rejuvenation Pill, which was still far from his goal.
Just as he was feeling down, Charlie said calmly, “However, you did a great job this time. With this operation, even if Blackwater is completely destroyed, the Cataclysmic Front Hall will be able to bring greater profits and development opportunities. Therefore, I can make an exception and count the points for your losses in the American market. But next time, if you act without permission, I definitely won’t make an exception for you!”
Bernard Erno was so shocked that his mind went blank. He felt dizzy for a few seconds before finally coming to.
He asked trembling with excitement, “Mr. Wade…Mr. Wade, are you…are you serious?!”
Charlie said calmly: “When have I ever broken my promise?”
Bernard Erno said happily: “No, never! Thank you, Mr. Wade! Thank you!”
After saying this, he immediately said, “Mr. Wade, in order to help the Ten Thousand Dragon Palace further strengthen its strength, I personally want to donate to the Ten Thousand Dragon Palace… ten, no, two billion US dollars!”
