There were two relatively large sales channels for his flour. One was the large supermarkets, such as Carrefour and Walmart. The other was through the medium-sized chain supermarkets such as the supermarkets owned by the Morningstar family.The flour mill industry had relatively low technology content and there was also fierce competition.There were many big grain and oil brands such as Bertolli and Adolphus in Oskia. Their brands were relatively strong and so, their products were also selling relatively well.Moreover, there were also at least a few other local flour brands in every city.So, a small brand like his own would only be able to generate a certain amount of sales locally and his sales were very dependent on the sales channels.If the sales channels gave him more display positions and bought more of his goods, then he would be able to make more money.However, if the sales channels did not give him any display positions or buy any of his goods, then he would not be a

Lilian felt very lost and confused at this time.The thirty million dollar dowry was certainly very attractive. However, the main point was that she would have to ask her son to marry a pregnant woman.Wasn’t this what people would often refer to as fathering someone else’s child?Although she was not a young person anymore, she still had some understanding of these buzzwords.However, when she thought about the fact that Mr. Morningstar had already offered a thirty million dowry and that he was also offering various resources to support their family, then Lilian began to look forward to it deep within her heart.In her opinion, as long as he was willing to give them a lot of money, then it would not be a big problem for her son to father someone else’s child.However, the crucial point of this matter was that it would be easy for her to explain things to her relatives and friends if the other party was pregnant with an Oskian child. She could just tell her relatives and friends

“As for the flour resources in the supermarket, most of it would have to be allocated to my family. If they agree to my conditions, then we don’t even need to decide on any dates. After all, I’ve already set up a banquet here today and there are no names written on the wedding arch yet. You can just ask Mr. Morningstar to send his daughter over here and we can just hold the wedding here today.”After she spoke, Lilian smiled and said, “Madeline, their daughter is already pregnant so it would also be better for them not to delay this matter any further. The sooner, the better. In addition, Madeline, if you assist me with this matter, then I’ll also give you two million dollars as a reward!”The main reason why Madeline was so enthusiastic about running this errand was because Mr. Morningstar had already promised her that if she could find someone who would willingly accept his daughter and her baby, then he would also give her five million dollars as a reward.After all, Mr. Mornings

Mr. Morningstar felt a sense of relief after hearing those words.All his worries were due to the fear of tarnishing his daughter’s name, which would eventually affect her future happiness.Now, right in front of him was a good candidate to be his son-in-law. The most surprising part was that he didn’t even mind having an immediate wedding and was able to make an instant arrangement for it. This kind of guy was hard to find.Therefore, he gave it some thought for a moment before immediately answering, “No problem! Go back and tell your family, fifty million dollars! There won’t be a dollar less, don’t you worry. I will bring my daughter over immediately. We can organize the wedding ceremony on the groom's side first, and then I will invite my family and friends over tomorrow to organize the wedding on my side. Once the ceremonies are done, the wedding can be considered complete.”Madeline spoke excitedly, “Mr. Morningstar is the best! Being able to make big decisions so easily and make

Lilian waved her hands. “If he dares to disagree, his father and I will cut all ties with him! This is not the time for him to object!”After saying those words, Lilian paced toward Draco and Magnolia. With a cold and somber voice, she spoke, “Draco, I will only say this. If Magnolia cannot fork out thirty million dollars worth of dowry, I have no mood to even entertain the idea of marriage!”“Thirty million dollars?!” Draco and Magnolia shouted in shock!Draco couldn’t hold in his anger, and he blurted, “Mother, are you that poor till you’ve lost your mind? You just mentioned ten million, and in the blink of an eye, you’ve changed it to thirty million. Where in the world is Magnolia’s family going to get that crazy amount of money?! Even our family can’t fork out that much!”Lilian grabbed Draco’s sleeve and spoke, “Come with me, I have something to tell you.”She then proceeded to look at her husband and shout at the top of her lungs, “Old man Turk Scotson! Come here!”Mr. Scotson qu

After listening to the calculations, Mr. Scotson immediately made up his mind.He turned to face his son and spoke, “Draco, it’ll be a waste if you don’t pick this wife. Not only did they not request for a dowry, but instead, they are offering you tens of millions worth of dowry. This is an amazing chance!”Draco replied coldly, “Yes. It is very good indeed. It seems as though you don’t mind having a mixed-blood grandson.”Turk said without a shred of embarrassment, “After giving me fifty million dollars? I don’t mind at all! So what if it’s a mixed-blood grandson? For fifty million dollars, I don’t even mind if my son turns out to be of mixed-blood!”Draco snapped back, “Stop wasting your saliva. I am not agreeing to the wedding.”Turk sighed. His face was stern and his tone was firm. “My son. You’re really lacking in experience. You still don’t understand how things work. You’ve never experienced the pain of having no money. I really should have made you live a few days of suffering

It didn’t matter if Lilian had to break her relationship with her son, or that Turk had to cut all ties with his flesh and blood. As long as they were able to force him to do what they wanted him to do, every sacrifice would be worth it.Draco exclaimed aloud, “Since all of you don’t respect me, I have nothing else to say to all of you. If you want to cut ties with me, so be it!”Lilian exploded upon hearing her son utter those words. She snarked, “This cold-hearted b*stard child! Even raising a dog seems like a better choice compared to raising an ungrateful child! You’re willing to disown your own family for the sake of that… that low-life woman! I can’t believe I wasted so many years raising you to be such an unfilial son!”Draco replied, “I’m sorry, mother. I don’t want to live the rest of my life being manipulated by you.”Turk exploded furiously, “You useless son! If you walk out on us today, you won’t be getting any share of assets from us! You’d better reconsider your actions!”

Charlie laughed after hearing what Turk had to say.Leave Hilton on a stretcher?This Turk truly didn’t know anything about this world.Nevertheless, for him, Charlie Wade of the Wade family, to attack this… this insignificant peasant… it was indeed a little undignified.Therefore, after much thought, the best way to solve this would be to give Albert Rhodes a call. Let him bring a few people along like that time with Kevin White. Then, he would just let the lackeys teach this husband and wife a lesson.Suddenly, a Rolls Royce drove up.Madeline, who had been silent all this while, suddenly jumped. “Oh! Mr. Morningstar is here!”As soon as she said that, Turk and Lilian tensed up.In their minds, they were hoping that Mr. Morningstar would have taken his own sweet time to travel to Hilton. During that time, they were hoping to solve the Magnolia issue. If push came to shove, they were going to pay her a few hundred thousand dollars as a reward for leaving their son.What they did not a

Zachary couldn't help pointing at the screen and snapping, "Fucking loser! The more you feel pressed, the less you should be nervous! What are you thinking?! You're falling right under that bastard's trap!"Jacob was frustrated too, growling through his teeth, "Shit! I didn't think that bastard was a sly old fox. Fucking hell!"He then sighed, shaking his head. "Forget it, Zachary—I'm going home to pack my shit, and I'll depart for Dubai first thing tomorrow. Just handle that bronze sculpture for me and wire the money over."As he was about to get off, Zachary sighed in exasperation and apologetically said, "Sorry, Mr. Wilson… but it's fine! Even if this plan screwed up, just let me cook up another plan to destroy Raymond Cole!"Jacob ignored him as he strode out of the car, but that was when Raymond spoke audibly from Zachary's phone, "You can calm down. I'm not accusing you of lying to me. I just think that it's not Renaissance… Rather, it's medieval.""E-Early medieval…?" Billy

In Treasure Measure, Raymond unwrapped the red cloth around the bronze sculpture in front of Billy and the camera.There was a brief flash of surprise on his face, and it was soon gone.Still, he picked up the bronze sculpture, fiddling with it as he asked, "Do you know where it's from?""Yeah," Billy nodded. "A Renaissance-era sculpture. I think the base makes it obvious."Raymond looked up at him and asked in curiosity, "Are you sure about that?"Billy, presuming that Raymond had already noticed a catch, quickly said, "Well, the old man had an expert check it, and the expert said it was immediately obvious! To be honest, I want to sell it because the old man just passed away—gotta sell this baby before my brother goes for a garage sale."He had certainly added more details to the script, and Raymond nodded as he said nonchalantly, "But it doesn't look Renaissance to me. Sculptures from that era—be it the craftsmanship or the unique attributes? It's quite different from this one

In the antique trade, items that raised eyebrows would only be shown in the evenings—when various shops were about to close.That was certainly the case in Antique Street, as most items arriving in the evening were either freshly excavated, stolen, or forgery used to dupe unsuspecting victims.Even if Raymond had started his career abroad, he had learned every last unspoken rule during his earlier stint in Aurous Hill.Seeing the wariness on Billy's face and the way he was holding something in his arms, Raymond knew right away that what he carried wasn't legal.Still, the antique trade was no different here than it was abroad.Tomb raiding, forgery, or adding some touch-ups that increased the value of an item—everyone across the globe pretty much played the same tricks, and Raymond had his fair share of experience.Still, he did not let his wariness show, instead grinning, "Yes, of course. Come on in—let's talk inside!"And with that, he quickly led Billy inside.Meanwhile, bot

"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
