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

Travis didn’t dare to take the Rejuvenating Pill and hurriedly said, “Master Wade, I haven’t paid the money yet, so I won’t dare to take the pill from you. I’ll call my company’s financial department and transfer the money to your account right away.”Charlie nodded with a smile. He then took out his card and passed it to Travis. “This is my card, please transfer the money into this account.”Dylan was taken aback when he glimpsed the card. That was the exclusive black card of Citibank, wasn’t it?!There were no more than five people in the country who owned that card.Moreover, Citibank provided very strong privacy protection for their exclusive black card members. Who was this Charlie and where had he come from? How could he have this card?!At this moment, Charlie suddenly looked at Dylan and said with a coy smile, “Mr. Koch, your necklace is worth 20 million dollars while my Rejuvenating Pill is worth 2 billion. You don’t need me to tell you whose item is more expensive, right
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 1207
Dylan was extremely regretful right now. He shouldn’t have proposed such a stupid bet with Charlie to see who had the more expensive gift.Now, he actually had to do a performance where he would swallow a ruby necklace. He had to pay a double cost!Isaac was still staring at him, so he didn’t dare to bluff his way out of it. Hence, he ground his teeth and blurted, “Okay, I, Dylan Koch, am willing to admit defeat!”He looked at Jasmine and said in a rather remorseful tone, “Miss Jasmine, please lend me the ruby necklace.”Jasmine frowned in great dismay when she heard his request.‘What do you mean by lending it to you? Will you give it back to me after using it?’Feeling disgusted and irritated, she hurriedly handed the gift box to him and said in a very serious tone, “Mr. Koch, you can keep the present.”It was then that Dylan realized that he had misspoken. He had to swallow the ruby necklace, which meant the only way the necklace could come out of his body was by pooping it o
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 1208
At this moment, Dylan’s first thought was to induce vomiting for him to spit out the necklace.Spitting it out was better than pooping it, right?Oscar hurriedly said, “Mr. Koch, I’ll take you to the washroom. This way please.”Dylan stood up immediately and followed Oscar.When he was in the washroom, he dug deep into his mouth desperately and kept vomiting, triggering a series of nausea and gag reflexes.There were a few times when he could feel the necklace reaching his throat, but he couldn’t vomit it out.He tried several times until his face flushed and even turned purple, but in the end, he was forced to give up as he felt an intense pain coming from his throat and esophagus, and soon, he had lost the strength to induce vomiting.He shuddered in disgust again when he imagined the fact that he had to poop the thing out of his anus in days to come. He even wondered if the necklace would get stuck in his intestines.Frightened, he immediately took out his phone and called h

At this moment, the pilot of Dylan’s private jet was preparing to line up for takeoff at Aurous Airport.When he received Dylan’s call, he said, “Young Master, I am at the airport right now, ready to take-off.”Dylan blurted, “Hurry, inform the tower to postpone the take-off and then drive the plane back to the business jet hangar. Wait for me, I’ll return to Eastcliff tonight.”The pilot asked in surprise, “But you just came here this morning. Didn’t you say that you were going to stay for a few days? Why do you want to go back so suddenly?”Dylan said anxiously, “It’s none of your business. Wait for me at the airport hangar, I’ll go to the airport right now.”The pilot quickly said, “Okay, Young Master. I’ll request the tower to cancel my take-off now.”When Dylan finally emerged with a grumpy face, Oscar, who was waiting by the washroom door, greeted him graciously, “Mr. Koch, how do you feel?”“Not good!” Dylan snorted, “Tell your master I’m returning to Eastcliff now.”Osc

"Five hundred grand?"Mick chuckled. "Well, the sculpture looks Renaissance, and the craftsmanship as well as the material are all ideal. It would sell for up to two million in an auction, while established antique traders like us could offer up to a million. So, why the lowball?"Bill sighed. "I won't lie—it belonged to my old man, who just croaked this afternoon. But you see, he left a will stating that every antique in the house would be given to my brother… Since he's playing favorites, I thought I had to get something for myself.""That's why I quietly sneaked this baby out without anyone else knowing and am trying to sell it quickly to change my own circumstances. You don't have to tell me how many millions it's worth—I'm not that greedy. Give me five hundred grand, and it's yours."Mick shrugged as he shot back, "If it's as you say and your old man intended for your brother to have it, the fact that you sneaked it out here makes this theft. Do you think I'd buy stolen proper

It was half past six, and the skies were darkening when a figure hurried into Antique Street, heading straight toward the center—to Vintage Deluxe.Mick Crane, the manager, was holding the fort with some of his employees, and there were some guests window shopping there as well. As Mick asked the employees to assist the guests, he waited anxiously for Billy—Zachary's henchman.Nonetheless, a certain figure rushed inside within minutes, asking eagerly as he entered, "Is the manager in? Do you still buy antiques?""Yes, and yes!" Mick exclaimed as he approached Billy enthusiastically, asking, "May I ask what you're planning to sell?"Billy looked around before sneakily holding up a parcel wrapped in red cloth, carefully lifting a corner to reveal an edge so that Mick could see.Then, he promptly lowered the cloth again, whispering, "This is the good stuff. I'm just not sure if you have the money to buy it."Mick grinned. "What are you saying? If it's something Vintage Deluxe coul

Jacob chuckled. "Can't tell you right now. But I will once it's done.""Well, have you decided when we're going to Dubai?" Elaine quickly pressed.Jacob said, "I'd have to wait until tonight to see if this deal works, but we're leaving first thing tomorrow. I'll get the tickets first, and we will be staying at the Burj Al-Arab that I told you about. People are always saying how amazing it is on the internet every day, seeing how luxurious the seven-star hotel is, but I'll be the judge of that."Elaine was overjoyed to hear that. "That's amazing! And I was just thinking we can't go sooner! Go about your business, then. I'll pack our luggage right away."Jacob chuckled smugly. "Don't pack so much, though. Just stick to the necessities, since we can get the rest over there!""Alright!" Elaine exclaimed, beside herself in excitement. "Alright, you hurry up and get your thing done over there. I'll start packing now!"After hanging up, Elaine called Charlie, who was in Champs Elys Reso

As Zachary agreed to do a favor for Vintage Deluxe's Mick Crane in passing, he and Jacob agreed to meet up at 7pm at the car park by Antique Street.He first took Jacob back to the Calligraphy and Painting Association and called Billy, one of his boys whom he thought was smarter than the rest, giving him the gist of the plan and telling him to familiarize himself with the script.Then, he took the sculpture back to Heaven Springs and met up with Billy in office, telling Billy what to do in finer detail and making sure he committed everything to memory.Zachary's strength as a judge of character certainly proved itself—Billy had never done anything like this before, but he took to the plan like fish to water. He committed the script to memory soon enough, and he was flawless.Once he made sure that Billy was fine, Zachary called Mick.As soon as Mick answered, he immediately asked, "Hello, Mr. Evans. How is that thing we talked about going?"Zachary chuckled. All the arrangements

Zachary continued, "Why do you think casinos are always making a profit? It's exactly because no matter how unassuming a guest is the first time, they would be allowed to win a couple of hands, making a little profit.""And suddenly, they would think that they are the chosen one, destined to win against all odds and always come out triumphant! Once such radical, blind confidence hits them, every last bit of his money would be lost to the casino!""At that point, you can get anything from them—their house, their wife, their children… hell, they'd be willing to die if you'd just let them gamble again!"Turning toward Jacob with a grin, Zachary then asked, "So, with all the points I made and that sculpture you're holding… Do you still think Raymond wouldn't fall for it?"Jacob laughed out loud. "Oh, talk about a plan within a plan! No one would ever see it coming! Raymond Cole is so screwed!"Zachary smiled and nodded. "That's why there's no reason to rush—I'll arrange a man to get r

As soon as they drove out of the village, Jacob asked Zachary eagerly, "So, when do you think we should make our move? I can't wait!"Zachary didn't hesitate, "Let's do it today. It's better than waiting! I'll get someone reliable to bring this to Treasure Measure and get him interested. I'm sure that since he has just returned to Antique Street, he'll need a hot deal to generate hype and make himself known. That's why I'm sure he'll take this sculpture."Jacob nodded repeatedly as he chuckled. "I think so too. Today is definitely best since I'll be going to Dubai soon and probably leaving once I'm done with this. Once you get this settled by the end of today, I'll get tickets for the flight tomorrow!"Zachary grinned. "Don't worry, chief. We will definitely get it settled today…"He trailed off for a moment before continuing, "Still, you should be a little patient. We should do this in the evening—at the second just before Raymond Cole closes shop.""But why?" Jacob asked in curi

Jacob was naturally gleeful that he could get the late medieval bronze sculpture along with its base. Right after he wired the agreed upon ninety-eight grand to Mr. Cardensky, he was already imagining how Raymond would buy it from him for several hundred grand.On the other hand, once Mr. Cardensky received the transfer, he saw the name on the account: Jacob Wilson.He was left perplexed—wasn't that man's last name Montague? Who was this Jacob Wilson?Still, he didn't worry about it too much since most antique hustlers preferred to work with anonymity and therefore, using a different name was perfectly normal.He then carefully wrapped up the bronze sculpture before passing it Jacob, asking politely, "Would you happen to have any other requests, Mr. Montague? I have plenty of other items here if you'd permit me to give an introduction."Jacob shook his head, "Just this sculpture will do. I'm not fully confident in your work either since this is our first deal, so I'm just trying i

Jacob asked, "Then, what would this sculpture be worth if it was genuine?"Mr. Cardensky thought about it. "Well, there are standards when it comes to Renaissance relics, but with something this exquisite, it'd definitely be auctionable for one or two million—and that's the conservative estimate.""How much would you sell it to me for?" Jacob then asked."Thirty percent of the market price," Mr. Cardensky quickly replied. "As I've said, the conservative estimate for this one is around one to two million, so we will set the price with the median estimate value at 1.5 million. And thirty percent means 450 grand."Jacob shook his head right away. "No, no, no… that's too expensive. What if I end up unable to sell it, on top of that?"In his mind, while he could barely accept that pricing, he still needed Raymond to be able to afford it if he wanted to swindle Raymond for twice the money.Mr. Cardensky quickly chuckled, "Oh, Mr. Montague—now you're being too serious. In this business,

"Okay!"Mr. Cardensky smiled and pointed at a nearby farmyard. "There's our workshop—the good stuff is all in there. Allow me to take you there!"The farmyard seemed uninteresting at first glance, but Mr. Cardensky soon led them to the stables and brushed off the straws covering the floor, revealing a plank laid flat on the ground.Mr. Cardensky then lifted it, revealing a passage below—they had dug a cellar into the ground beneath, with the stables as an entry point.As Jacob followed Mr. Cardensky down the cellar, he exclaimed in awe, "Your operation is definitely big, digging such a huge cellar!"Mr. Cardensky smiled humbly. "Anyone working in the business would have sustained their losses before. In the end, we're all folk of humble origins, starting out with raiding tombs or excavating artifacts. Just digging a cellar is really nothing."As they conversed, they cleared the stairs and arrived at the main hall.It was certainly a hall as it was around a hundred square meters,
