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

At this moment, a loud sound of helicopters roaring from outside the van.Everyone was even more panicked as the helicopters’ movement was very loud coupled with the overly familiar chopping sound.Max asked frantically, “What is going on? Why are there helicopters? Who are these people?”Gibson’s father pulled the curtain open in a small gap and peeked outside when he saw several helicopters lined up in the sky like an army of metallic birds. He gaped in shock and remarked, “Oh my god, there are many helicopters in the sky! Even if the police want to arrest us, they wouldn’t use helicopters! Did we get on some VIPs’ nerves?”While talking, the helicopters were directly above their car as the loud roar resonated throughout the bridge and into the van.Charlie was sitting on one of the helicopters, overlooking the scene that was unfolding on the bridge.The entire bridge was being blocked by the fleets of trucks. In the middle of the bridge, dozens of large trucks surrounded the I

Turning on the PA system on the helicopter, Charlie aimed the mic to his mouth directly and shouted, “Everyone in the van, listen carefully, you are being surrounded. Surrender yourselves right now, or I’ll start shooting!”Charlie’s announcement sent shivers down the spines of the seven adults in the Iveco.Gibson was on the verge of collapsing. Even if he murdered someone, why would the law enforcement use such excessive tactics to apprehend him?His family was shaking in terror. Earlier, they were still dreaming about the wonderful trip to the Maldives as soon as they got the money, but they had never expected to be surrounded like rats in a ghastly trap.Max was even more frightened than all of them. He regretted his decision very much!It wasn’t just regret, but there was also panic.However, he blinked as if something struck his mind. Why did he find the voice of the person doing the announcement from the helicopter so familiar? Yet, he couldn’t figure out that it was actua

Gibson’s family shrieked at the top of their lungs upon the horrifying sight!They didn’t expect that the person would literally command his shooter to shoot immediately after three seconds!The victim, who was the eldest son of the Little family, was also the son Gibson’s parents adored the most. As blood trickled down his temple, the parents went berserk and cried devastatingly.Since Gibson was sitting right next to his brother, reddish blood and whitish mushy brain matter was splattered on his face and body.He was also so shocked by the absurd scene that his heart almost jumped out of his ribcage.When he started the trafficking business, he had never thought that it would be so deadly!Charlie’s cold voice sounded again from the helicopter’s PA system. “I’ll give you three more seconds. If you still refuse to get out of the van and surrender, I’ll let the snipers kill the second person randomly!”Losing the courage to resist, all six of them ran out of the van in a hurry.

In Max’s opinion, he would not be surprised no matter who stepped down from the helicopter, but Charlie was totally unexpected that he could only stare in disbelief.However, he was absolutely certain that the tall, handsome man with a cold face was indeed Charlie Wade, the man he grew up with in the orphanage!It was beyond his imagination as to how and why Charlie was so capable to mobilize such a powerful force to pursue them!The helicopters, the former special forces members, and the weapons they carried were definitely not something ordinary people could own, not even the richest man in Aurous Hill!He couldn’t help asking himself, ‘Who the hell is Charlie Wade?’‘Isn’t he an orphan? He is a moocher who lives off his wife! How can he own such a powerful force?’At this moment, Charlie stood in front of the six adults. Instead of looking at the other five people, he glared coldly at Max and exclaimed, “Max Wyatt! How dare you!”Max trembled in horror and cried, “Charlie, it

Gibson knew that Charlie had looked into all his details when he heard Charlie’s remark. He pleaded in desperation, “Boss, this is all a misunderstanding! I have some enemies and that’s why they tarnish my reputation all the time. I’ve never been involved in child trafficking before, it’s all just fake rumors!”Charlie chuckled. “Do you think I’m an idiot?”Gibson pleaded by knocking his head to the floor until his forehead turned bloody. “Please, boss, you have to believe me, this is all Max’s idea! He approached me first, saying that he was involved in some deep shit that he needed money urgently. It was him who told me that there are many children in the orphanage. He had even come up with the whole plan for us to abduct those children!”Charlie said coldly, “Don’t worry, I’ll settle the score with each of you one by one later, but first, tell me, who had you planned to sell these children to?”Gibson hurriedly admitted, “Boss, these children were to be sold to the beggar clan i
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 1021
Charlie did not expect the Webb family to be involved in this matter to some extent. The vicious Beggar Clan was actually Donald’s brother-in-law’s creation! He bet that they must receive indispensable support from the Webb family.Initially, he was waiting for the Webb family to strike him first instead of him making the first move. But, this time, he had to strike Donald’s brother-in-law first!He glared at Gibson and said, “I’ll give you a chance to redeem yourself. Perform it well or you’ll end up like your brother!”Gibson said with gratitude and excitement, “Boss, I’ll do anything you ask me to! Anything!”Charlie urged, “Now, I need you to call the senior who is supposed to get the children from you. Tell him that your car broke down and you need him to come here in person to take the children.”Gibson hurriedly nodded and said, “Okay, boss, I’ll make the call right now! Since we’re not very far from Sudbury, I’m sure they will come soon.”Charlie nodded. He turned to

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!
