Charlie smiled before he said, “Mr. Kobayashi, you aren’t too bad yourself. It seems as though you are also full of energy and have a pretty good temperament yourself. However, you are just a little too short.”Jiro felt a little depressed for a short while.He was less than 1.7 meters tall. Although he had an ordinary height among other Asian men, he was still far behind compared to the standard of being tall, rich, and handsome.Jiro had always dreamt of being able to grow as tall as 1.8 meters tall. However, even after trying all sorts of methods, he could not do so at all.Therefore, his height problem had always been a cause of his heartache.At this time, Charlie who was 1.85 meters tall, was teasing him about his height in front of Nanako. This made him feel very uncomfortable and he could no longer control the expression on his face.Charlie spoke up again at this time. “Mr. Kobayashi, I really did not expect you to be able to speak the Oskian language so well! You’re so

Charlie looked at Yamamoto Kazuki with interest. Honestly, Charlie did not understand martial arts. If it wasn’t for Aurora wanting to participate in the tournament, he wouldn’t even have bothered with people of the martial arts circle.This was because in his eyes, even if one reaches the peak of martial arts cultivation, one is still considered an external expert in the realm of the martial arts.It is common knowledge that martial arts that focus on the basic training of muscle and bone density shouldn’t be considered a martial art skill. Experts in the inner circle must learn the necessity of using their Qi as well as their internal energy in the face of combat.Nevertheless, the sheer number of people who were learning martial arts was astounding. Even a three-year-old kid can be seen practicing kicks and punches. So, does this mean that the kid would be considered a martial artist too? Although the number of people learning this was high but the ones who were able to utilize Q

After speaking his mind, he turned to Ito Nanako who was wearing a shocked expression. Joyfully, he spoke, “Miss Ito, your bone structure and meridians are good. Judging from our Oskian martial arts point of view, your conception and governing vessels have been partially activated. If you’re able to activate it completely, then you are able to become a disciple of the inner circle.”“Your conception and governing vessels?!” Ms. Ito asked in astonishment. “Is that the ancient Oskian martial art lore’s meridian points? Plus, what’s a disciple of the inner circle?!”Charlie spoke with a more serious tone, “Martial art myths originated from the traditional martial arts. Just like the concept of meridians, those aren’t made up myths but are verified facts from the medical journals of Oskia which were found to be thousands of years old.”“As for disciples of the inner circle, how do I put it? Let me put it this way. With your current training, you won’t be able to achieve anything near th

“Trash?”After hearing those words, Charlie’s face lit up with a playful smile.It seems like this Mr. Yamamoto was too arrogant. He might have overestimated his own strength. A trashy external disciple like him, even with top-notch physical training, would not be able to defeat Charlie.It was alright to dislike Charlie due to difference in opinion but to expect that he didn’t even have any sportsmanship was actually quite bewildering.To rub salt into the wound, he had even brought up the fact that Oskian people were prone to weakness. That had really gotten Charlie’s blood boiling. Therefore, Charlie smiled and replied. “Since you’re willing to bet, Mr. Yamamoto, then why don’t we raise the stakes?”Mr. Yamamoto snorted, “Sure! No matter the bet, I’ll play along till the end.”To Mr. Yamamoto, no matter how strong Charlie may look, he had no chance of defeating him in combat with a single punch.Therefore, he was willing to place the bet, as no matter how severe, he was assur

But no one had expected Charlie to put so much inner energy and Reiki into his punch.Mr. Yamamoto looked at Charlie’s timid punch and almost laughed out loud.His face was filled with disdain as he voiced out, “A punch like that? Is as if a three-year-old child is throwing a punch at me. I can parry it with a single hand and I can even…”Mr. Yamamoto was trying to convey the message that he could single-handedly parry the attack but the words just wouldn’t come out of his mouth. Charlie’s fist had just touched his skin and his entire body felt as if it’s been hit by a train. The pain immediately coursed through his entire body.With a loud moan, Mr. Yamamoto’s body went flying across the room at high speed.His body was arced into a C shape as he flew about twenty meters across the room.His entire meridian was destroyed by Charlie’s Reiki.In a simpler term, during his time suspended in the air, he has turned from a well-known Japanese martial artist into a useless piece of tr
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 1359
At this moment, Mr. Yamamoto's body shuddered in fear. Never in his lifetime has he ever been this frightened. He has never met someone this powerful, which had far surpassed his capabilities and knowledge.What kind of master could possibly have such destructive power, to completely destroy a martial arts master and turn him into trash with a gentle punch?The problem now was not only the fact that he had destroyed a man with a single punch. He was still dissatisfied and wanted to carve out the humiliating words onto the loser’s forehead.After thinking about what’s happening, Kazuki Yamamoto immediately begged, “Mister, my skills are not up to your standards. To be completely destroyed is my own doing. Please, I beg you, could you at least leave me with a little bit of dignity? Please don’t carve those humiliating words on my forehead. Please!”Nanako, who was by Mr. Yamamoto’s side, was also in tears as she bowed lowly and with a broken voice, began begging, “Mister, could you p

Charlie laughed. “No matter how much money you have, you can never be richer than I am.”Mr. Yamamoto quickly replied, “I have close to a hundred million dollars in my savings. If you let me go, I’ll give it all to you. If we were to convert it to Oskian dollars, then it should be at least five to six hundred million dollars!”Nanako, who was at his side, quickly responded, “Mister, if this isn’t enough, I’m willing to give you a fairly decent amount as well. Why don’t I give you one hundred million dollars as well? Can you please…”Charlie looked at Mr. Yamamoto and then turned to Nanako. He then pointed towards Jiro who was scared stiff. “Why don’t the two of you ask him shortly how much money I have?”Kobayashi Jiro’s legs trembled as he stuttered. “Mr. Wade, I don’t know…how much money you possess…”“You don’t know?” Charlie laughed. “Then why don’t you tell them how much money the Kobayashi family paid us?”Jiro quickly replied, “That…Yamamoto-san, Miss Ito, just from our Ko
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 1361
Yamamoto’s heart was pounding in fear as he asked. “Don’t tell me…Don’t tell me you’re not the one who’s doing the carving?!”Charlie replied, “What? You want me to carve words onto you? Are you even qualified for that?”After finishing his sentence, Charlie laughed playfully before continuing. “I asked for a favor from a friend of mine. He has never attended any school. His level is only at elementary school level but I’m pretty sure he can still manage to spell the words ‘sick man of Asia.’ Till then, I’ll make sure that he carves the words as big as possible. It’s guaranteed to meet your expectation!”Yamamoto was worried and nervous. What else could he say? At this moment, the committee members came running towards them. They turned to Nanako and Aurora and said, “Participants, the tournament is about to begin. Could you two please make your way to the stage to prepare? Please make sure to be punctual. Participants who don’t show up on stage in another ten minutes will automatic

"Invest?!"Billy was left dumbstruck at the term.What even was this fool up to? This definitely wasn't in the script! What about the questions he was supposed to ask? It was like sitting for a grade-schooler test and suddenly being hit with a bar exam!In the car, Jacob blurted out, "What the hell is that bastard thinking? Is he really going to pay 250 thousand?!"Zachary pursed his lips. "Maybe he's just throwing us bait. Think about it—if we took the deal, we'd have to leave a contact number.""After that, he would trick us and say he sold it for ten million and lure us in for the five million. We'd definitely show up, wouldn't we? Once we came, it might turn out that he has called the cops and would even produce\ the bronze sculpture as evidence. Wouldn't we be just shooting ourselves in the foot?"Jacob was left in misery, his face contorting as he pouted, "But you said the cops wouldn't get involved…"Zachary rolled his eyes, "Yes, they wouldn't most of the time since that

However, neither Zachary nor Jacob expected Raymond to confuse them further as he asked Billy, "If you can afford to wait, you can leave the bronze sculpture with me as a consignment. I'll only take 10% off the sales while you get the rest—how about that?"Jacob was stunned and asked Zachary, "What the hell is he up to? Did he get too deep into character?"Zachary shook his head. "I don't get it either… is he trying to keep the bronze sculpture to use as evidence against us?"Jacob frowned. "I thought you said there was a gentleman agreement in this business, and the cops won't really care anyway?"Zachary snorted. "He said he would keep it as a consignment, meaning that he won't spend a dime. What if he told all the antique dealers instead of going to the cops? He would prove that he's sharp, making a name for himself… and what can we do? Do we take back the bronze sculpture? Even if we do, can we really ask for it?'"Fuck!" Jacob swore. "Then what are we waiting for? Tell Billy

In Treasure Measure, even Billy was having a hard time understanding what was going on.Before he came, Zachary made it very clear that he was here to dupe Raymond Cole, and he had come.As such, his job was now to claim that this bronze sculpture which was made in the last century was actually from the Renaissance era and then sell it to Raymond at a cutthroat price.But now, Raymond himself was saying that it was medieval? What was that supposed to mean?Even as he was left confused, he blurted out, "Sir, if you say it's from medieval times… then how much is it worth?"Raymond thought about it and said, "It's quite an unpopular item, but it's not to say that no one would buy it or that no one likes it. The main issue is that there were plenty of wars at that time, and most bronze would be used for weapons. Copper production would be low with rationing as well, so bronze tools were naturally rare for civilians.""Gilding is common for better quality items, and from the northern

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
