Right now, Charlie regarded Jasmine as his close friend and was willing to protect her with all his might.As for Tyler and Reuben, their eyes were burning with a murderous flame.They had been eyeing the position of patriarch for many years, and they couldn’t accept the fact that Jasmine had been appointed for the position.Nevertheless, they were very clear that it was bound to be a fierce and ugly battle if they wanted to regain the position of the heir.Therefore, they had to plan their strategy wisely. If they decided to make a move, they had to ensure a guaranteed victory.At this birthday banquet, Jasmine was undoubtedly the happiest person in the hall.At this moment, from the bottom of Jasmine’s heart, her gratitude and love for Charlie reached its peak.How could a smart woman like her not know Charlie’s intention in giving her the Rejuvenating Pill?Who would benefit the most from the Rejuvenating Pill? Old people, of course. Very old people.She was only 26 years o

Charlie was about to agree to Paul’s invitation, but the gorgeous Jasmine suddenly appeared in front of them, and with her face blushing shyly, she said, “Paul, there’s no need to bother you. I will send Master Wade home.”Paul was a smart guy. He knew that deep down in Jasmine’s heart, she must truly adore Charlie very much.She, as the birthday girl, should not offer herself to send the guests off herself. Not tonight.After all, today was her birthday as well as the first day she had become the successor of the Moore family, but she had volunteered herself to send Charlie home after the banquet ended.Moreover, there were so many distinguished guests here today, but among these guests, she only wanted to send Charlie home. This was more than enough to see how much she valued and cherished Charlie.Paul cleared his throat and said with a coy smile, “Oh yes, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do and Master Wade’s house is out of my way, so, Miss Moore, I’ll have to tr

Harvey was thrilled to see Charlie and sprinted toward him excitedly. However, before he could greet Charlie, he suddenly realized that he was now Travis’s driver and this behavior was considered rude and unacceptable. So, he hurriedly wiped the excitement off his face and said respectfully, “Hello, Mr. Lane!”Travis patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, “Harvey, drop the diplomacy. You are Master Wade’s buddy, which means you are my buddy too. Although I am ten odd years older than you, we can be good buddies as well!”Harvey nodded quickly, surprised and flattered.At this moment, Charlie came to him, smiled warmly, and asked, “Hey, Harv, how is everything? How are you? How is this new job?”Harvey replied very gratefully, “Charlie, my good buddy, I don’t know how to thank you! Without you, there is no me! You are my life savior!”Charlie’s warm smile persisted as he said, “Everyone will meet their life savior at a certain point in their life. You think I am your lif

Jasmine said softly at this moment, “Master Wade, let’s go too.”“Okay.”***Driving her red Bentley, Jasmine drove Charlie out of the Moore family mansion.Jasmine’s heart was thumping violently. She had never been as nervous in front of Charlie as she was now.As an awkward silence in the car ensued, Jasmine cleared her throat, desperate to find a topic to talk about, and said, “Master Wade, thank you so much today. I didn’t expect that you would give me the Rejuvenating Pill. It is such an expensive gift! I owe you a lot.”Charlie smiled gently and said, “Well, truth be told, the reason why I gave you the Rejuvenating Pill was for you to offer the favor to your grandfather at my expense. With the pill, Lord Moore can live to be at least 100 years old, no doubt about that, so he must want the pill that I gave you very badly. However, he is a very unprejudiced and self-righteous man, he won’t simply take the pill from you, so, a great return for the pill is expected.”Jasmine n

Jasmine grinned like a child getting her favorite candy when she heard that Charlie wanted to make a talisman for her.She didn’t know what the talisman looked like or how would it work, but she was happy enough to know that Charlie wanted to make a talisman exclusively for her by himself. This reason was enough to put her on cloud nine.Her eyes reddened with tears, and she said gratefully, “Master Wade, you are so kind to me, I don’t know how to repay you!”As she said this, her inner monologue echoed, ‘If possible, I wish I can devote my life to you to repay your kindness to me. I wish I can accompany you for the rest of our lives and be by your side forever.’However, how could she, the proud young mistress of a big family, say this out loud! Charlie was rather indifferent about it because he was a person who valued friendship, righteousness, and gratitude.Jasmine was not his benefactor, but she was his friend, a trustworthy and level-headed friend.He was very sincere in

Charlie nodded and said, “Okay, but the staircase is quite steep, so be careful when you go down.”Jasmine shyly stretched out her tender hand to Charlie and said softly, “Master Wade, can you hold my hand, please? I’m afraid that I will fall…”Frankly, she wasn’t afraid of falling. Instead, she wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to Charlie.Charlie took a glimpse at the stone staircase. It was indeed quite long and steep as it extended to the riverbank. Jasmine was a girl, and she was wearing a tight-fitting dress that limited her movements. It would be awful if she slipped and fell, so he took her delicate hand and led her carefully down the stone steps.At this moment, there were only the two of them at the riverbank. Occasionally, a few ships with lights on it passed by the river, the sound of the rumbling diesel engines was very loud and noisy, but it didn’t create any noise pollution in the empty riverbank.Charlie let go of Jasmine’s hand when they arrived on the

As Charlie recalled how he had met Jasmine, he also felt that it was quite a wonderfully bizarre experience.That time, if he hadn’t gone to Vintage Deluxe with his father-in-law, he would not have had the chance to obtain the .Without the book, at most, he would have just been Mr. Wade instead of Master Wade.In comparison, he still preferred the title of Master Wade of which he had traded his strength and ability. As for Mr. Wade, it was nothing but an address to his last name. Behind the title of Mr. Wade, it didn’t carry a tinge of his own ability, but the family instead.Therefore, he felt that it had all happened for a reason, and it was destined to go this way.He was destined to know Jasmine, and he was also destined to obtain the .He turned to Jasmine and said earnestly, “Frankly, when a person meets another person, it is a fateful meeting. Perhaps, many things are already destined to happen without us knowing it.”Jasmine blushed t

When he held her hand, it made her feel genuinely happy and joyful.Due to the steep stone steps, Charlie voluntarily raised his hand and said, “I’d better hold your hand as we go up.”Jasmine’s heart was overflowing with the timidness and excitement of a young girl in puppy love. She stretched out her hand gleefully and let him hold her.She followed his back like a shy lamb and walked up, step by step.When they entered the car, Jasmine’s pretty face was still blushing a timid pink, her heart beating faster than usual because of her nervousness and shyness.She frantically started her car and said, “Master Wade, I’ll take you home now.”Charlie nodded, and Jasmine drove the car back to the main road.The car crossed the bridge and arrived at the entrance of the Thompson First villa area.When the car came to a complete stop, Charlie uttered, “Thank you for the ride.”Jasmine quickly said, “Oh, you’re too welcome, Master Wade.”Charlie reminded her, “Drive safely on the way

"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,
