Charlie waved his hand reassuringly and said, “No need to worry. Just remember to assist me whenever I need your help in the future. I will always remember your contribution.”

Albert responded without hesitation, “I will never let you down!”

The onlookers gasped in disbelief as they witnessed Charlie presenting the magical pill to Don Albert.

Despite Don Albert’s notorious status as one of Aurous Hill’s leading mob bosses, he held little sway over them. They found it hard to comprehend that Charlie would so readily give a pill to someone as unremarkable as Albert, simply because they had a connection.

This was a remarkable display of Charlie’s fairness towards those he considered his own.

Albert remained on his knees before Charlie, tears streaming down his face.

“Mr. Wade, I honestly never expected someone like you to think of someone as inconsequential as me. I am deeply grateful for your kindness…”

Charlie smiled gently and replied, “Albert, to me, everyone is equal. I don’t judge a person by their status or identity; instead, I evaluate them based on their character and personality. Do you remember my classmate, Douglas? In terms of status and power, he’s certainly less significant than you and your associates. Yet, when he was in the hospital and unable to help himself, I supported and protected him. Why? Simply because he is my friend. If you are my friend, your status doesn’t matter; I will never forget you.”

Albert’s heart swelled as he listened, and tears continued to fall. He choked out, “Mr. Wade, I will do everything within my power for you from now on!”

Charlie placed the pill in Albert’s hand and said, “If you choose to follow me, remember, you don’t need to be the most powerful person in the country. As long as you act sincerely and wholeheartedly for me, I will always protect and look out for you for life!”

Charlie’s sincerity was evident.

He possessed immense wealth—tens of billions in cash and a company valued in the hundreds of billions of dollars.

Moreover, Charlie had extraordinary skills and strength at his disposal.

Thus, as long as Albert remained loyal, he would not suffer under Charlie’s wing.

Charlie’s words only deepened the admiration and respect everyone felt for him.

They were all determined to follow Charlie wholeheartedly!

At that moment, Zeke produced a smart bracelet key and presented it to Charlie. “Mr. Wade, this is the key to the Bugatti Veyron Hermes special edition that I’ve ordered for you. You can pick it up at the auto showroom when it launches tomorrow!”

The standard Bugatti Veyron costs twenty-six million dollars, while the Hermes edition is valued at forty million dollars.

Before Charlie could respond, Graham hurriedly revealed another smart bracelet key, saying, “What a coincidence, Mr. Wade! I also ordered a sports car for you, and it’s ready for collection at the showroom. I got you a limited edition ONE-77 Aston Martin.”

The Aston Martin One-77 is also priced at forty million dollars.

Neither Zeke nor Graham anticipated such a coincidence.

Zeke shot Graham an annoyed look and exclaimed, “Graham, why did you get Mr. Wade a sports car too? Are you trying to copy me?”

Graham replied confidently, “I’m not copying you! I just thought Mr. Wade should drive the best sports car available, which is why I specifically ordered the Aston Martin ONE-77!”

Seeing both of them presenting gifts to Charlie one after another, Anthony quickly brought out a yellow sandalwood box and placed it before Charlie. Upon opening it, a stunning pair of porcelain wine glasses was revealed.

Anthony told Charlie, “Mr. Wade, these wine glasses have been in my family since the Ming Dynasty, and they are one of my prized antiques! I want to gift them to you today, and I hope you enjoy using them!”

Not wanting to be outdone, Jasmine quickly retrieved her checkbook and wrote a cash cheque, offering it to Charlie. “Mr. Wade, this cheque is for one hundred million dollars. Please accept it as a small token of my appreciation.”
