In the eyes of the vast majority of people, wealth was a symbol of strength, but Charlie had never taken money seriously at all.
The facts also proved to him countless times that money was, in fact, not everything at all times.
For example, so what if Jordan had a fortune worth a trillion US dollars? He still had to rush to spend more than two hundred billion US dollars to buy a Rejuvenating Pill.
Even Charlie’s eldest uncle, Christian, was willing to pay more than three hundred billion US dollars in exchange for a mere Rejuvenating Pill.
Theoretically speaking, as long as Charlie was willing, he could use the Rejuvenating Pill to scour all the wealth of all the old and wealthy people in this world.
In that case, his wealth could even surpass that of his grandfather’s family, the Saudi royal family, or even the Rothschild family.
However, when Stephen had given Charlie ten billion dollars back then, he had not even known how to spend the money. So what if he had more money than the Rothschild family?
The unrestrained sale of the Rejuvenating Pill would definitely push Charlie into the limelight, and the extra money earned would not only fail to be of any substantial use to him but would also attract a lot of covetous and prying eyes.
Therefore, in Charlie’s opinion, the next most important thing for him to do was not to find ways to make more money, but for him to accumulate more strength other than wealth.
This was the only way he could accumulate enough power to deal with those unknown behemoths.
Kathleen, who was aside, also finally understood what Charlie was truly concerned about.
So, she said to Charlie very resolutely, “Don’t worry, Mr. Wade. As long as I’m still in the Fox family, the Fox family will definitely be by your side, and we will advance and retreat with you no matter what kind of opponent you will face in the future!”
As Kathleen’s plane received super VIP treatment in all airports in the United States, Charlie, who was a passenger on the plane, also received VIP treatment at the airport.
Every airport had one or more special convoys that would provide free escort services for dignitaries of various countries when there were major diplomatic events. At other times, they would carry out commercial operations, and they could be hired to serve a person as long as one could afford to pay for the services.
Charlie did not want to be too ostentatious, so he took the initiative to ask the special convoy to reduce the eight cars to just one Cadillac.
It seemed a lot more low-key this way.
Charlie did not tell Claire in advance when he came back this time.
The main reason was because Charlie understood Claire’s character very well. If he were to tell her his exact return time, she would definitely drive to the airport to pick him up. On one hand, Charlie did not want to trouble her, and on the other hand, he was worried that he would be exposed if Claire were to come to the airport to pick him up.
