Therefore, the Webb family was definitely an accomplice.Charlie believed that Donald would definitely feel very, very uncomfortable as soon as he released this video.Wasn’t he trying to stand up against him?Wasn’t he secretly looking for his enemies so that he could unite them to attack him?‘I am sorry. The young master is already getting tired of waiting. So, he is going to take a shot and deal with his brother-in-law first!’So, Charlie told Isaac immediately, “Put all of the members of the Beggar Clan into that Iveco. After that, ask our men to weld the steel bars on their hands to the body of the car!”“Yes!”Isaac quickly gave an order and many men in black rushed forward immediately. Every two men grabbed one person before they dragged them all into the Iveco that no longer had a roof above it.All of the children in the Iveco were all still fast asleep and all of them had already been taken to the helicopter.The group of men continued crying and howling but the men
“What?”Max has already lived for more than twenty years. This was the most shocking sentence that he had ever heard Charlie said in his whole entire life.With bloodshot eyes, Max stared at Charlie before he muttered, “Impossible. How could that be possible? I know who you are. I’ve known you since you were a child. Your name is Charlie Wade and you are an orphan. Mrs. Lewis was the one who brought you back to the orphanage when you were eight years old. You are just a pathetic jerk who has no support and no father or mother in this society. How can you be the young master of the Wade family?”Charlie smiled slightly before he said, “I know that it is hard for you to believe this but it’s the truth. Otherwise, how else do you think I could have mobilized so many people to chase you so casually? Look at all these helicopters and these men dressed in black with live ammunition. If I were not the young master of the Wade family, you would have succeeded in your heist this time.”“But
The most painful thing in this world is to realize that it would be completely impossible for a person to catch up with their enemies even if they had several lifetimes.At this moment, Max was completely ashamed of himself!He looked at Charlie with tears in his eyes as he choked and said, “Charlie, I accept it. I really admit defeat. You can kill me. I am already sick and tired of this world and myself…Please set me free…”Charlie nodded before he looked at Max and said seriously, “Max, your crime is the lightest amongst all of the people who are going to die today. However, everyone who is going to die today had already committed a capital crime, including you. Therefore, I hope that you can be reincarnated and have a good next life!”Max smiled miserably before he said, “In my next life…after hearing your story, I suddenly have a feeling that someone like me was born with a tough life. Even if I were to be reincarnated and even if I had a next life, I might probably still be an
After Max died, Charlie suddenly felt a little sorrowful.He was not sad because he sympathized with Max. Instead, he felt that it was indeed very upsetting for a person to turn out to become the kind of person that he hated and despised the most.Max was in the prime of his youth. If he had not gone astray, he would have had the opportunity to change his own destiny. Perhaps in a few years’ time, he would have had the opportunity to marry a fair-skinned, rich, and beautiful girl, become a CEO, and reach the pinnacle of his life.However, life was like this. Some people could still get up after getting stuck in a pit but some people would never be able to get out of it after getting stuck in a pit. As he looked at the surging river, Charlie was a little upset for a moment before he said to Isaac, “Okay. Help me take the children back and bring them to the hospital for an examination to see if there is anything wrong with them. After that, you can notify someone from the orphanage
At this time, Donald and his wife, Alice were just comforting Kian who had just enjoyed his extra meal.Sean, as the eldest grandson, was bringing the dinner prepared by the servant to his grandfather’s room.When he pushed the bedroom door open, he saw the old man convulsing uncontrollably as he lay on the carpet. His face was also very pale as he was foaming at the mouth!Sean was taken aback and he hurriedly stepped forward to check on his grandfather. He realized that the old man seemed to have suffered from a stroke. When he looked at the old man’s hand, he saw that he was holding tightly onto his cell phone in his trembling hand. He was looking at a video on his cell phone. Why did the person in the video look just like his uncle?He subconsciously picked up the cell phone to take a look at the video. At this time, he happened to see his uncle losing his mind as he grabbed his aunt’s neck and strangled her directly…Sean shuddered before he threw the cell phone aside.As he
Donald and Alice were huddled closely together as they stared at the cell phone. They broke down completely after watching this thrilling video.She was already panicking when she saw her brother strangling her sister-in-law to death. When she saw her brother getting welded to the body of the car as he drowned in the sinking car after getting thrown into the river, she collapsed immediately. Her legs became soft and she fell to the ground in an instant.Immediately afterwards, she cried out desperately, “Nelson! My brother! You died so miserably! Now that you’re dead, our Bishop family will lose our family lineage! How do you expect your sister to face our parents in the future? How am I supposed to face the ancestors of the Bishop family?”After she spoked, Alice started hitting the ground as hard as she could with her fist before she yelled hysterically, “My good brother, tell your sister who killed you! I’ll make sure to shred him into pieces to take revenge for you! This person
Some companies with a market value of more than ten billion dollars could drop until it was only left with a market value of a few hundred million dollars. This meant that their assets would have shrunk by more than ninety percent!Some companies could even fall into bankruptcy because of a small problem with their manufactured products. However, what was this compared to the charges faced by the Webb family now?This time, the Webb family might have to be the scapegoat for Nelson’s beggar syndicate. All the unconscientious things that he had done would eventually be pinned on the Webb family!Donald was extremely nervous at this time. This was because he knew very well in his heart that the Webb family was facing a huge crisis and disaster this time!So, he immediately told his assistant, “Issue a statement immediately under the name of the group. State that even though Nelson was indeed my brother-in-law, the Webb family had no knowledge of what Nelson was doing or what he was in
As the Webb family was getting scolded on the Internet, Webb Group has already published their statement through various channels.However, all the netizens could see that this was just a statement to disassociate themselves so they could shift the blame away from them.Everyone knew that it was completely impossible for a capable person such as Donald not to know anything about his brother-in-law’s occupation.There was no credibility in the statement at all since he was coming out to whitewash himself at a time like this. Moreover, many people on the Internet had already looked through Nelson’s life experiences.The Bishop family was originally a poor family in the South Region. They did not have much money and they were not a flourishing and prosperous family.It wasn’t until Alice, the daughter of the Bishop family, married Donald that the lives of the Bishop family finally got better.However, Alice’s parents did not have a good life. Both of them had passed away from canc
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!
