Charlie smiled as he said, “Mr. Koch, to tell you the truth, the gift that I prepared for Miss Jasmine not only exceeds ten thousand dollars, but it is definitely worth even more than your necklace.”When Dylan heard this, he was furious and said, “Where the hell did you come from? You actually dare to be so pretentious in front of me?”Charlie smiled before he asked, “What are you going to do if the gift that I gave is indeed more expensive compared to your necklace?”Dylan snorted coldly before he said, “There are so many people present here today and they can all be our witness then. If the gift that you’ve given to Miss Jasmine is truly more expensive than the necklace I gave her, I will eat that necklace on the spot.”Charlie clapped his hands and smiled as he said, “Very well, then. It’s a deal.”Dylan frowned before he said, “Master Wade, what are you going to do if the gift that you gave to Miss Jasmine is not more expensive as mine?”Charlie smiled before he said, “If my

At this time, most of the people present were feeling a little worried for Charlie. Although everyone knew that Charlie was very capable and had a lot of accomplishments in the metaphysics field, they really did not believe that Charlie would be able to compete with Dylan when it came to money. The strength of the Koch family was indeed even much stronger compared to that of any big families in the South Region. Based on the assets owned by the Koch family, Dylan was really very strong and powerful.This was because no one in Aurous Hill could possibly defeat Dylan.In fact, no one in the whole South Region might be able to compare to him at all.Moreover, the twenty million US dollars ruby necklace could already be considered the best amongst all other ruby necklaces.Even a diamond that was the size of an egg might not even be worth that much.Thus, everyone could not help but wonder what could possibly be in the small gift box that Charlie had given to Jasmine that made him

Even Travis, who was sitting at the same table, was shocked and speechless!He was the richest man in Lancaster, and he was not any worse off compared to the Moore family in terms of their net worth.Moreover, he had already reached old age this year, and he could obviously feel that his body and physical health was much worse compared to before.This was irreversible no matter how much money was spent.So, Travis also dreamed to have the opportunity to take a Rejuvenating Pill too. He would not regret it even if he had to give up one-tenth of his assets in exchange for a Rejuvenating Pill.This was because he knew that other than the Rejuvenating Pill, there was no way he would be able to gain back twenty years of his youth even if he was willing to spend several billion dollars for it.The Macau gambling tycoon, Stanley Ho, was very rich. He was extremely wealthy and powerful, but even if he had all that money, he had no way to buy back his youth when he was already over ninety
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 1201
In Dylan’s eyes, the Rejuvenating Pill that Charlie had given to Jasmine was just some inconspicuous pills.Even if it was really the Acetum Bezoardicum Pill that had rocket high prices in the Oskian medical profession, the most expensive top-grade Acetum Bezoardicum Pill was probably worth only a few hundred thousand dollars.Moreover, so what if Charlie’s so-called Rejuvenating Pill was indeed the Acetum Bezoardicum Pill?There was still a huge difference between the pill and his ruby necklace which was worth nearly one hundred and thirty million dollars.Therefore, Dylan could not help but feel that he had already defeated Charlie.After Dylan said those words arrogantly, he was originally waiting to receive everyone’s praise. However, he really did not expect everyone to stare at him as though they were looking at a mentally retarded person.They could not really blame him because he was the only person at this birthday banquet who did not know the value of this Rejuvenating

Jasmine naturally had to step up and defend her sweetheart when she saw him getting ridiculed by Dylan.At this moment, Charlie smiled indifferently before he took another Rejuvenating Pill out of his pocket. After that, he laughed as he said, “Look! I have plenty of this. It is naturally impossible for me to take back the Rejuvenating Pill I have already given to Miss Jasmine as a gift. The Rejuvenating Pill that I am going to auction now is this one!”With that, Charlie stood up before he spoke to everyone around him, “I believe all of you already know what the Rejuvenating Pill is. I will not give any further introduction to the Rejuvenating Pill. Instead, I will simply start the auction right now.”When everyone at the scene heard that Charlie was really going to auction the Rejuvenating Pill, they had an incredulous look on their faces.This was a magical drug that they would never be able to obtain elsewhere. Charlie had never agreed to sell this Rejuvenating Pill before, so

Initially, Dylan thought that he would be the ultimate winner. He was absolutely certain that no one would be willing to buy this so-called Rejuvenating Pill for 150 million dollars, but he was terribly wrong. He didn’t expect Travis Lane to give him a slap to the face with his actions.He turned and glanced at Travis, astoundment and shock written all over his face as he asked, “Mr. Lane, what do you mean?”Travis knew that Dylan came from an impressive background, but the Rejuvenating Pill was too tempting for him to own even if he had to offend the Koch family by doing so.Who would miss this precious chance of getting younger by 20 years old?!Even the Gods could not stop Travis from bidding for the pill, let alone a mere Dylan Koch.He looked back at Dylan and said flatly, “I’m sorry, Mr. Koch. I’ve longed for Master Wade’s miraculous Rejuvenating Pill for a long time. Now that the precious chance is right in front of my eyes, I cannot let it slip from my hand. Please forgive

“270 million!”“280 million!”“290 million!”Graham immediately raised his hand again and shouted, “300 million!”The bidding was proceeding intensely. Someone would raise the price as soon as the other person finished his bidding.They increased the bidding price of 10 million at a time continuously in order to grab the Rejuvenating Pill.Soon, the whole scene had become very lively and chaotic. Even people with a net worth of only about 1 billion joined in the bandwagon and increased the bidding price because everyone knew that money was valuable, but longevity was even more expensive.Dylan felt that every time someone bid a price, it was a slap to his face.He had never been so embarrassed in his life.However, this was just the beginning.He was in a deep mess now, and he was wondering how he would walk out of here without embarrassing himself further.Did he really have to swallow the ruby necklace?At this moment, the bid was still ongoing, and it was very happening.
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 1205
After Zeke bid 1.1 billion, Graham felt that he should raise the bar too, otherwise, he would lose this precious chance to obtain the Rejuvenating Pill. Thus, he gritted his teeth and said, “Since Mr. White has already bid 1.1 billion, I offer 1.2 billion.”Travis didn’t mind the competition though. He was richer than Graham and Zeke combined, hence, it didn’t make much difference to him even if it was 1.2 or 1.5 billion. He was determined to win the Rejuvenating Pill, so he said flatly, “If so, I’ll go straight to 2 billion.”The hall was rocked by the echoing sound of the audiences’ gawking.The auction price had increased from 1.2 billion to 2 billion! This was simply the most incredible and the most expensive auction anyone had ever seen.What was it like to have 2 billion dollars? If your monthly allowance was 10 million, you would have the same amount of allowance every month for 17 years.If you deposited 2 billion into the bank with an annual interest rate of 5%, your annu

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? ""Oh, I…" Jacob was left stumped and could not come up with an answer.Don Albert then pressed on, "Mr. Wilson, I've offered a prom

"Mr. Wilson, what you boys did was truly heinous!" Don Arnold growled. "I scolded Zachary myself when I found out, and I was the one who told him to post that statement!"Jacob was shocked. "But why, Don Arnold? Are you friends with Raymond Cole?""Never met the guy," Don Arnold replied.That left Jacob even more confused. "Then why are you taking his side?""I've been doing my best to clean up my image over the past couple of years," Don Albert replied coolly. "I rarely get involved in mob business or anything illicit, and everyone in Aurous Hill knows that Zachary is my right-hand man, yet he confessed to committing such a heinous crime behind my back. What is that if not sullying my reputation?"Jacob was left reeling as he didn't expect Don Albert to be so serious, but he quickly explained, "I'm sorry. I didn't expect it to affect you so terribly… It's all Zachary's fault! I wouldn't have been aware that Raymond had returned at all, but he just had to tell me and come up with
