Chapter 1132

Penulis: Lord Leaf
Late at night, at the foot of Mount Golmin, Jeffrey was wrapped in a thick jacket made out of deerskin, dragging his elderly father, Jordan, behind him as they walked out of the mountain.

The temperature at Mount Golmin had dropped drastically recently, with its temperature reaching the lowest point of about minus thirty degrees during the night.

Under any normal circumstances, they would both be unwilling to step out of the house even if it would kill them. However, because of the clear requirements, they had to go into the mountain to gather ginseng.

They would only be able to get some food, medicine, and also the kerosene and firewood that they needed for heating in exchange for the ginseng that they gathered.

After all, the weather was so cold and the energy consumption for the heater was very high every day. Picking up firewood alone would not be sufficient for them and it would have to be matched with a sufficient amount of kerosene too.

After going into the mountain for the

    The father and son from the Weaver family were both dreaming of turning their lives around. Suddenly, a violent cold wind suddenly blew swiftly across Mount Golmin, making them shiver from the cold.Jordan sighed as he said, “The wind at this place is really too harsh. A gust of wind makes my whole body tremble and shiver from the cold. Let’s leave now.”“Okay!” Jeffrey had also felt the cold air that pierced his bones. He quickly shrank his neck as he stood up and patted the snow off his butt. After that, he stretched out his hand to help him father up.In fact, during this period of time when the father and son had to live together on Mount Golmin, their relationship had really improved a lot.In the past, although Jordan had always preferred his eldest son, he was a very selfish person and it was very difficult for him to really treat another person well.Therefore, he treated Jeffrey in just a very ordinary manner even though it was better than how he had treated Liam.Jeffre

    Jordan nodded his head and he could not help but sigh as he said, “It would be great if we could get two catties of wine. We can soak the ginseng in wine and enjoy a sip of the wine when we are feeling cold when we are up on the mountain. That would simply be amazing!”Jeffrey replied, “The widow, Leanne, seems to know how to make wine. I’ll chat with her and bring it up when I have the chance to do so someday. Perhaps she has some wine hidden at home.”The father and son continued walking as they chatted among themselves as they walked through the cold wind. They finally arrived at the entrance of the village after more than half an hour.Both of them did not immediately return to their dilapidated house. Instead, they headed to the hunter Mr. Lange’s house in the village in the dark.Although the people living in the village at the foot of Mount Golmin were all very poor, they were not missing anything at all.In the past, people from the village would often head into the mounta

    The last time when someone came to rescue the father and son from the Weaver family, they had been dealt with and handled before they could even get close to the Weaver family’s house.So, the father and son from the Weaver family did not know about this at all.At this moment, the Webb family from Sudbury was actually here to rescue them!Both of them were very excited and they immediately followed the group of people to the car so they could go back to Aurous Hill.As they were heading to the entrance of the village, Jordan could not help but ask the man dressed in black next to him, “Brother, we don’t have any friendships or connections with the Webb family from Sudbury. Why is the Webb family trying to rescue us?”The man replied coldly, “It seems that our chairman has the same common enemy as you do.”“A common enemy? Jordan exclaimed as he asked, “Who is it?”The man gritted his teeth before he said, “Charlie Wade!”Jordan and Jeffrey suddenly shuddered.It turned out th

    The Webb family had lost fifteen men, while Don Albert and Liam had also lost four of their men!Fortunately, Charlie had already reminded Don Albert and Liam to strengthen their defences a few days ago. That was the reason why both Don Albert and Liam had already sent more men up to Mount Golmin. Otherwise, they really would not have been able to deal with the opponent who had more than a dozen people.The father and son from the Weaver family, who were frightened to death, were caught from the snowfield.It was Don Albert’s subordinate who had arrested them. He was none other than Declan Zaber, the person who was in charge on Mount Golmin.Declan had a very darkened expression as he stared at the father and son who were scared out of their minds. After that, he said coldly, “Do the two of you really think that you will be able to escape?”Jordan cried out loud at this time, “Mr. Declan, we did not intend to escape at all. This group of people were the ones who wanted to put us i

    Lord Webb was also an unparalleled hero in the past.Everyone knew about him and everyone knew who he was when anyone mentioned his name in the South Region.He was a very intelligent person in his younger days and he started from scratch as he built everything up from nothing. He was able to build the Webb family up to be the top and most influential family in the South Region, proving that he really had extraordinary skills and abilities.However, he could not fight against old age and time. After Lord Webb retired and passed his family business on to the second generation because of his illness, the Webb family began to go downhill.In fact, no one would have expected the entire Webb family to suffer so much losses so quickly during this period of time.This made Lord Webb suffer continuous torment.It all started when his second grandson, who was a completely normal young man and an especially privileged person, suddenly contracted a strange disease that was incurable.After

    If her brother had not been killed, he would have personally smashed her brother into pieces!However, it was meaningless for him to have any regrets. Otherwise, the Webb family would not have ended up in this state today.Lord Webb looked up at Donald as he asked him coldly, “Where’s that woman with the last name Bishop now?”Donald hurriedly replied, “Dad, Alice has been locking herself up in the room during this period of time. She has been weeping her life away.”“Weeping her life away?” Lord Webb gritted his teeth as he said, “Aren’t you going to drive this sort of woman out of this house? What is the point of keeping her around? Do you want to wait for the entire Webb family to be completely defeated before you finally come to your senses?”Donald was stunned and he hurriedly explained, “Dad, you can’t blame Alice for this incident. This is all her brother’s own personal affairs and doings! She is a victim just like me.”Slap!No one would have expected the weak and fragil

    Donald felt very embarrassed as he clutched onto his cheek that was already flushed red.He finally realized his mistake at this time.His strategy was correct. He had to unite his comrades and treat the enemies of his enemy as his own allies.No matter whether it was the father and son from the Weaver family who were on Mount Golmin, the Wilson family, or any other people, they were all people whom he should be gathering and uniting together.However, he was wrong because he had acted too hastily. He should not have undermined the morale of his army.The enemy was right there and they would not go missing just because he came one step later.His allies were also right there and they would not die just because he was one step late.Why was he so anxious? He had sent his men up to Mount Golmin twice and he had already failed twice. He had also lost the lives of twenty men up there all for nothing.He should have remained calm and composed and just waited patiently. He should als

    “Okay.” It was only at this time that Lord Webb finally nodded his head. “Then, I’ll send The Big Eight up to Mount Golmin tonight. Get the private jet ready.”Donald asked in surprise, “Dad, do we need to be so anxious?”Lord Webb replied earnestly, “You’ve just lost fifteen of your men’s lives tonight. The enemy will definitely think that you wouldn’t dare to come back for a short period of time. We should send The Big Eight over there tonight so they can appear in front of the enemy early in the morning tomorrow. This way, the enemy will definitely be caught off guard!”Donald nodded as he was being educated.He felt a little inferior and ashamed of himself at this time because he felt that his abilities were really too far behind his old man’s.The old man was indeed the one who could really make plans and strategies to win the battle from a thousand miles away.After that, Donald immediately called and arranged for the private jet to prepare to take off. After about an hour,

    With those words, Jacob didn't wait any further as he turned and left Antique Street, intent on seeking legal counsel.Raymond watched him leave before returning to Treasure Measure.He wasn't going to leave, but he had said so because he didn't want to waste much time with Jacob.Still, to avoid any trouble, he turned the sign outside to 'closed' before locking the door from the inside.That was when a man suddenly arrived, asking through the glass door, "Can I still take a look inside, sir?"Raymond was ready to refuse without even turning around when he realized that it was Charlie.He turned around and saw him standing outside just as expected.Smiling, he hurried over to open the door for him. "It's been a while, Mr. Wade!"Charlie was aware that Raymond was sticking to his identity of 'Raymond Cole' who had not been in touch since Raymond had been fired from Vintage Deluxe.Charlie chuckled in turn. "It has indeed. And you're a business owner yourself now, too.""It's j

    Jacob zipped toward Raymond, his attitude immediately subservient, "I'm sure you've seen what Zachary Evans posted on his Twitter page, and to be honest, it's so terrible that my position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association has been affected too. I mean, you've made a lot of money, right?"Hell, even if you donated ten million, you'd still have another ten million and 970 thousand in net profits. So, all I'd like to ask is for you to post something to disclaim Zachary's post.Jacob's words left Raymond in thought.For Jacob, just being suspected of fraud would definitely be terrible. In fact, his position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association would definitely be threatened—if not dismissed altogether—if he wasn't cleared of suspicion.Since Jacob was Charlie Wade's father-in-law, Raymond had reason not to drive Jacob over the brink.But that also begged another question—it must be under Charlie's intention for Zachary to post his confession, and that meant Charlie in

    Raymond couldn't help chuckling just as Jacob finished—he had honestly never heard of anyone who demanded a refund after donating to charity, but he was certainly seeing one now.Still, the receptionist was clearly experienced and slowly explained, "Sir, it's a legal clause of the country that all donations for philanthropy purposes can not be refunded under most circumstances—""It truly was a mistake," Jacob quickly said, cutting the receptionist off. "I was going to donate thirty thousand but pressed an extra zero by mistake. Please discuss this with your management—you just have to refund 27 thousand, see?""Sorry, sir," the receptionist apologized. "But it's a strict rule that we ourselves do not get to access the funds that have been donated into our accounts. Every donation will be screened extensively, and if you consider that there was a major oversight on your part, you may seek legal counsel to appeal for a refund. If the courts back your appeal, our organization will the

    Nonetheless, Jacob darted into Treasure Measure and plucked off his mask, asking nervously, "Excuse me, Mr. Cole? It's me… Jacob Wilson…"Raymond looked up, pausing for a moment before acting as if he was actually curious, "Mr. Wilson! What brings you here? Don't tell me—you want that bronze sculpture back too?""No, no, no…" Jacob quickly shook his head. "I would never… I returned all the way from Dubai to apologize!""Apologize?" Raymond smiled faintly, and he did not play dumb this time as he asked bluntly, "Did you come back because of Zachary Evan's post?"Knowing he couldn't deny it any longer, Jacob nodded, "Yeah…"Raymond nodded and said calmly, "That's unnecessary. I was the one who benefited in the end."Jacob wasn't quite keeping up—thinking that Raymond was just trying to be nice by telling him he didn't have to apologize, he quickly pulled out his phone.Tapping on it and bringing up his transaction records, he handed it to Raymond reverently, "Mr. Cole, I understan

    The cabbie chuckled. "You're a local yet you're heading to Antique Street right away as soon as you land instead of going home? And you're still saying you're not trying to pick up a killer bargain deal?"Come on, man—it's not just you, I want that too. We cabbies work ourselves to death only for ten thousand per month at best while our friend over there made twenty million in one night. I could keep driving cabs for the rest of my life and still not make that much money."Jacob knew that the cabbie must be talking about Raymond and became even more miserable then, grumbling unhappily, "I'm going to Antique Street for business—I'm not trying to pick up some missed bargain.""No? Then you didn't hear what happened yesterday?"The cabbie was immediately curious, and without waiting for Jacob's answer, he exclaimed happily, "Look, man—it was so ridiculous not even Hollywood would put it in their script. There were these fools who were trying to sell an antique trader a replica, but th

    It was nighttime in Dubai as Jacob dragged his weary body from the hotel back to the airport.As he was flying economy this time, he was left sitting at the hard bench near the boarding terminal, waiting for it to open.While he waited, his heart was torn as he tapped into the website of the Aurous Hill Charity Fund, found their donation account, and wired the entire 300 thousand he had made over to them.He had picked the Aurous Hill Charity Fund because the circles of antique collectors in Aurous Hill were all discussing how Raymond had donated half of the 20 million he had made to that same charity fund.After Raymond skyrocketed to prominence in Antique Street and became a star, it could not be denied that people admired his profound ability.However, there were also people who envied his skill in turning the tables just as there were those who were jealous he had made twenty million in a single night.Still, Raymond moved fast—soon after word spread that he had made twenty m

    Elaine quickly asked, "Well, what if you can't get it done?"Jacob was apprehensive even as he sighed. "If they really pressed the issue, guess I can't even stay at the Calligraphy and Painting Association now… We will see. If things get bad, I'll just resign. I won't ask for much right now, just as long as I don't have to go to jail."Elaine nodded. "Then you should try to reason things out with Raymond Cole or ask for Charlie's help if push comes to shove. Being humiliated is still better than prison.""Okay!"-It was nighttime at Aurous Hill by the time Elaine and Jacob arrived at their hotel.Charlie and Claire had just had dinner, and Claire pulled out her phone, saying, "I just checked my flight app, and it says my parents should have landed two hours ago. They are probably at the hotel, so I'll check in on them with a video call."She had yet to open her WhatsApp when Elaine called her on a video call.Jacob was planning to check in with Claire and Charlie to put their

    Hearing what Jacob had said, Elaine became anxious and pressed him as he hung up, "What's going on? You're leaving? But we just got here! My shoes have just caught Dubai dirt, so why are we leaving so soon—"However, Jacob was wiping the sweat off his brow as he mumbled quietly, "Well, at this point, I have to leave or I won't be vice president anymore."Elaine immediately fumed. "We've been married for half our lives, and this is supposed to be our honeymoon, yet we're just leaving? I've posted about this on social media too—there are plenty of people who're waiting for more posts on our trip!"And don't forget—we spent a lot on our flight tickets and our hotels! The hotel bookings can't be refunded either!"Jacob scowled dolefully. "Well, what can we do? Why don't you stay? I'll go home and get this sorted out first….""Well, how long would that take?" Elaine asked."How should I know?" Jacob sighed, uneasy and annoyed. "Don Albert is saying I have to go back and donate the 300

    "But I spent 98 thousand on that bronze sculpture!" Jacob exclaimed in agitation before he knew it. "I made 300 thousand from it, and that means my profit was 200 thousand at best, but I'm supposed to return that to him as well?! That means I'd have lost my own capital too!""I can't help you if you can't bear to part with that money, Mr. Wilson," Don Albert said quietly. "In that case, you'll just have to handle it yourself.""Wait, wait, wait!" Jacob immediately became antsy and cried out right then, "Please, Don Albert! I'll return the money! I'll return it, alright?! The entirety of my profits—202 thousand, okay? At least let me keep the money I spent, okay?""By that reasoning, Mr. Wilson, when a phone scammer is told by the cops to return the money they've made from defrauding, should he be allowed to keep the money he spent on telco charges?
