Charlie nodded and said, “Good! When you get anything, let me know as soon as possible!”Albert uttered respectfully, “Okay, Master Wade!”Charlie ended the call. He calmed himself down before turning back to Mrs. Lewis and Stephanie, and said, “Mrs. Lewis, Steph, don’t worry, I’ve asked my friends to ask around. He’s quite capable and he has a lot of informers, I’m sure he’ll have some answers soon.”Mrs. Lewis blurted out, her eyes red with tears, “Charlie, thank you so much!”Charlie quickly said, “Mrs. Lewis, what are you talking about? I grew up in this orphanage and the children here are like my own brothers and sisters. Now that they’re missing, I’ll definitely do all I can to get them back!”Stephanie uttered, choking and sobbing, “Charlie, you donated so much money yesterday. On our way back, Mrs. Lewis said that they’ll install a set of CCTVs around the orphanage thanks to your donation, who knows…”Stephanie couldn’t finish her sentence before she started crying again.

Isaac knew that Charlie must be angry about something when he heard his tone. He said without hesitation, “Okay, Mr. Wade, I’ll get it done right now!”Then, Isaac quickly asked, “Oh yes, Mr. Wade, I’ll pick you up by helicopter right now. Do I go directly to Aurous Welfare Institute?”Charlie didn’t want anyone to know about his capabilities, so he asked, “Is there any place suitable for helicopter landing near the orphanage?”Isaac was silent for a while before saying, “Yes, there is a building nearby called Golden Line Tower with a helicopter landing pad on the roof. You can go there now, I’ll set off now and will be there soon!”“Okay!” Charlie said, “Hurry!”“I’m on it, Mr. Wade!”After ending the call, Charlie turned to the ladies and said, “Mrs. Lewis, Steph, my friend may have some clues. I need to go to meet him now. Please wait patiently for my news and don’t worry.”Stephanie quickly said, “Charlie, let me go with you, please!”Charlie said, “Steph, you’d better stay

A lot of happy families had been completely broken because of the horrid human traffickers!The most hateful thing these traffickers did to the children was after the abduction. If they sold these children to normal families who wanted children, at least the children’s lives would not be threatened. But some of them would disable the child and used them as a tool for begging on the street. It would completely ruin the child’s life!Hence, everyone in the country was watching the news closely, genuinely concerned about the ten children.Meanwhile, Charlie, who was on the roof of Golden Line Tower, wanted to save the children as soon as possible! A helicopter roared loudly from afar, rapidly approaching him.At this moment, Albert sent him a text, saying, “Master Wade, Gibson and his family had left the province, but they didn’t dare to drive on the highway. They’re on the country road, so they have only driven less than 400 kilometers.”Charlie looked at the address and found that

At this moment, the seven adults inside the Iveco Daily van were not even aware that a dragnet was slowly approaching them and was about to catch them.In addition to the seven adults, there were ten children asleep in the van. They had not yet woken up after being drugged at midnight.There was a young man without his right arm in the front passenger seat. The man was Gibson Little.He was giggling like an excited boy and said to his brother who was behind the wheels, “Hey man, we’ll get a million dollars after the transaction!”His brother gaped in shock, “What?! Woah, are kids so expensive nowadays? Didn’t you say that they only cost tens of thousands of dollars per head?”Gibson said, “Yeah, but they were busted a while ago, remember? The Beggar Clan in Kelna Province are in shortage of children, hence the increased price.”His brother grinned delightfully, “We’re gonna be rich!”Gibson nodded excitedly and said, “After the transaction, let’s go for a vacation!”Inside Ivec

In desperation, his last resort was Gibson, whom he had gotten to know some time ago. He had wanted to borrow three hundred thousand from him, but he didn’t expect Gibson to be short of money too at this moment.Gibson was whining and complaining about the police’s great efforts in cracking down on human trafficking that had literally restricted his family’s trafficking operation.Gibson also told him that he was looking for children all over the place to sell to the south. The prices for the children were at an all-time high now and they could make a lot of money if they could find a resource.Thinking of the infants and toddlers laying around in the orphanage, Max immediately had an evil plan in his mind.He informed Gibson of the resources and suggested that they worked together to kidnap children from the orphanage.Gibson was worried about the resources. As soon as he knew the orphanage had plenty of what he wanted, he grinned ecstatically and started hatching a plan too.Ma

Several helicopters gathered on the outskirts of Aurous Hill and headed towards the border of the province at high speed, narrowing the distance with the target little by little.On the other hand, the white Iveco Daily was on the federal route, driving according to the speed limit. They often stumbled upon traffic congestion or red lights that limited their overall speed and traveling distance.Gibson chose the federal route instead of the highway because of one main reason, that was, the structure of the road itself.As the highway was a closed-circuit route, it would be hard for them to escape if the police marked them and set up roadblocks. However, federal routes were different. They were connected to various townships and counties, so it would be extremely hard for the police to pinpoint their location and to block their path.Besides, if they faced any problem, they could simply abandon the van and run away. Federal routes provided a lot of excellent hiding locations. They c

The drivers behind the trucks got out of his car to check what happened, curious and angry.At this moment, a person from the fleet got off the truck and shouted using a loudspeaker, “Everyone, we have just received an urgent notice from the management that the bridge has become hazardous and there is a risk of collapse at any time. We are trying our best to repair the damage as soon as possible. For your safety, please make a detour. Thank you for your cooperation.”The drivers were blowing a gasket, but their anger dispersed in an instant upon hearing the announcement. No one doubted their credentials, especially when they saw so many heavy-duty trucks parked on the bridge. In fact, they were feeling fortunate that they had been following behind these trucks. If they had been in front of the fleet, wouldn’t they drive on this dangerous bridge?Hence, everyone quickly got back into their vehicles, turned around, and took a detour, avoiding the bridge at all costs.Behind the whe

Gibson finally realized that something had gone terribly wrong at this point. How else could he explain the sudden appearance of so many trucks that surrounded them for no reason?Moreover, from the looks of their stance, they didn’t intend to let them escape, hence the parallel formation.They had heavily-loaded trucks sandwiching them both front and rear, with the river roaring under the bridge. If these trucks were really coming at them, they would have no way out.Gibson shuddered in horror and said, “Are they here for the kids? Why? These kids are just a bunch of low-life orphans!”“That’s right!” Gibson’s brother said, “Besides, the police didn’t even come after us yet. Why are these people here?”As the two fleets of trucks were inching closer and closer to them, Gibson’s brother had no choice but to stop the van.Everyone in the van panicked, including Max.Max stumbled into an unending horror at the moment. No one knew the orphanage better than he did. If these children

Trippy rolled his eyes as he texted back: [Hell no. I need to start my business instead of wasting my time. You morons can come get a number yourself if you like. Haha!]Still, Trippy had just sent his text when a trio arrived in a hurry outside Treasure Measure.Seeing that the doors were closed, the leader asked Trippy, "Excuse me, can I ask if this is Treasure Measure? Owned by a man named Mr. Cole?"Trippy was at once surprised. "You mean Raymond Cole?"The leader quickly said, "We don't know his first name, only that his last name is Cole, and his handle name was Treasure Measure's Mr. Cole."Trippy chuckled. "That'd be him. Has to be, since he hand wrote that shop sign."Pausing, he then asked in curiosity, "So, you've come to see him being a sucker?"The leader was naturally curious as to what Trippy was talking about. However, he was also reluctant to reveal why he had come since there was a killer bargain at stake. In fact, every other collector who was coming was k

Raymond also added that the 20 million price tag wouldn't be cut or increased. To put it simply, the bronze sculpture was right there in Aurous Hill and waiting—it was a race.Hence, many reputable collectors contacted expert appraisers throughout the night, some even booking night flights straight to Aurous Hill.The best amongst them was a fanatic collector of bronze items in Eastcliff.Following a brief exchange with Raymond online, he immediately called an expert who was also a close friend. As soon as his call was answered, he asked the other man if he had time to travel to Aurous Hill so that no one else would beat them to it—and they would drive out in the night if at all possible.After all, the earliest flight was at six in the morning, and it'd be eight by the time they made it to Aurous Hill Airport and nine by the time they got to Antique Street in a cab.Therefore, the ideal way to get there was by driving over six hundred miles at top speed, and that meant reaching A

While Jacob was feeling delighted after pulling off his con, Raymond had posted details of the bronze sculpture online.The website he was using was the biggest platform for antique collectors and the antique trade where each user could set a favorite tag in the antique category and era. If a user who preferred canvas art pieces of the Tudor dynasty set that label as their favorite, they would immediately be notified with text or desktop notifications in regards to any item with the same label.As medieval bronze sculptures were rare in the first place, most who were interested had already set that label on their favorites and were immediately notified soon after Raymond posted pictures of the bronze sculpture online.The collectors were naturally eager to check it out as gilded sculptures of the medieval era were really rare, and most collectors would go a lifetime without picking one up for their collection.On top of that, the seller had even listed a major flaw and was only ask

"Nope," Jacob chuckled. "We were both working separately and just happened to get back in at the same time."Then, he immediately became smug and excited, "Guess what, dear? I made 200 thousand out of the deal! In net profits!""For real?!" Elaine gaped. "200 thousand in just one night?! That's amazing! How did you do that?"Claire was surprised to hear that too, and she came over to ask, "What deal was it, Dad?"Jacob grinned, "Oh, it's nothing to brag about. It's just that I managed to pick up a nice antique item thanks to my wisdom and then sold it for 200 thousand."Pausing, he then sighed in dismay, "However, the buyer wasn't too rich—I would have squeezed him for 400 thousand, but he couldn't afford more, so I had to settle for less."Elaine quickly exclaimed, "Shit, we're talking about a loss of 200 thousand! People would work a year and still never earn that much…"She trailed off for a moment before asking, "By the way, dear—are we still flying out first thing tomorrow?

Jacob laughed. "Put that issue behind us? Sure, but we're not becoming friends. Hell, I can't even hold a grudge now that you're shit out of luck."Then, his tone changed sharply and suddenly became icy, "But you see, Aurous Hill is not a place you can stay just because you want to. No… After this, you're not going to be able to make a living in the antique trade.""If I were you, I'd be running a thousand miles away, far away from Aurous Hill where no one would know my face to start over. That way, you just might be able to make a living."Raymond simply kept smiling, "You need not be concerned about how I'm going to survive here, Mr. Wilson. I'd be very grateful if you'd cease any form of harassment once you leave my premises."Jacob pursed his lips, staring at Raymond in disappointment. "I'm plenty magnanimous, so I won't stoop to such pettiness. Just do whatever you like!"Clicking his tongue, he huffed, "Tut, tut… And here I'd thought you're tough, but you're just yet another

Raymond chuckled at the title, humble as ever, "The Duke of Wastage? Now, that's quite the royal title, and I don't think I deserve such an honor…"Trailing off, he then made an especially curious look, "By the way, how'd you know they were calling me that?"Seeing that he was still so ignorant, Jacob scoffed. "You bought a Renaissance-era bronze sculpture earlier, didn't you?"Raymond nodded. "I did. But technically, it's medieval and not Renaissance, along with a Renaissance-era base."Jacob clutched his stomach as he laughed, "Oh, please! Medieval? Hahaha… You're killing me, Mr. Cole!"Raymond kept a serious look on his face. "It's really medieval. Why don't you take a look?""No way," Jacob snorted, pursing his lips. "Anyway, word has already spread that someone was selling a counterfeit bronze sculpture to defraud Antique Street for some serious dough. He went first to Vintage Deluxe, but their manager, Mr. Crane, saw through it and didn't buy it… and then he came to you, an

That was why most of the collectors only knew that such an item existed but they did not know in whose possession it was.After registering a new account and paying the ten thousand registration fee, Raymond got in.It was very safe as it was anonymous, and he posted a photo of the bronze sculpture and an announcement with an asking price of twenty million.In his opinion, it wasn't that expensive—if it was still gilded, it would be worth around a hundred million. Without it, it was plenty reasonable to cut the price down to just thirty million.And Raymond was cutting another ten million off that, so twenty million was plenty reasonable.Moreover, medieval bronze sculptures were exceedingly rare, and less than one specimen showed up annually at times. Collectors who desired it would therefore be willing to break the bank for it, and that was why Raymond was sure that someone would put in an order once he posted it.As he wrote the summary of the item, someone knocked on his door

Jacob frowned in disdain. "Why would I be worried? He's no longer the manager of Vintage Deluxe, and he just lost a shit ton of money for messing up his appraisal. I am also the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, so why would I be worried about some loser who will soon be kicked out of Antique Street?"Straightening his collar, he snorted coldly, "I am now going to see Raymond Cole and humiliate him face-to-face! He thinks he's impressive, doesn't he? Let's see how he will keep up that facade!"Zachary chuckled, "Yes, exactly! People like him need to be given a slap in the face! As hard as you can! Don't worry—I'll be right behind you. If he gets physical, I'll rush in to help. If he doesn't dare to start a fight, you just insult him as much as possible!""Good plan!" Jacob nodded since he was concerned that Raymond might get physical when pushed too far.And with his body, there was no way he could beat anyone…Spreading his arms, he exclaimed, "Come! I'l

Mick inspected every video to see who was getting the most views, and he then paid out of his own pocket to use paid advertising to get the video viral.It cost five thousand and it hurt, but reaching the trending page was definitely worth it.Mick was quite shrewd too, making sure that the paid advertising was focused locally. After all, he knew all too well that five thousand didn't buy many clicks, and clicks from elsewhere might be too sporadic to gain any worthwhile attention.As he worked in Antique Street, he naturally had to come up with a plan to promote himself in this place, ideally presenting himself as a master appraiser.That way, his fame would slowly extend throughout the province and perhaps Eastern Oskia, and eventually the country.As such, focusing on Aurous Hill was the best idea.Moreover, he also had another idea—if Jasmine Moore happened to see this video, she would see him in a new light.When that happened, he could look forward to getting really rich!
