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

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

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

Unable to nitpick on the air stewardess' response, Elaine pouted, "Well, try to ask management to improve on your first-class cabins anyway. Maybe even make a premium-class or something since it's not like we can't afford it."The air stewardess quickly said, "We will definitely relay your message to the management."Nodding in satisfaction, Elaine waved her off. "Alright. You can go back to work now."Clearly relieved, the air stewardess bowed her head respectfully. "Always happy to be of service."After the air stewardess left, Jacob asked Elaine in curiosity, "Was the private jet that good?"Elaine rolled her eyes. "Didn't you see the stuff I posted in the chat group?""Not really," Jacob blurted. Elaine was ready to snap at him for not caring, but considering that they had made up now and she shouldn't fuss too much over the little things, she snorted, "Just remember to like and comment on all my posts in the chat group, otherwise, I will make you regret it!""No problem!"

While the ten collectors were taking turns studying the bronze sculpture, Jacob and Elaine were boarding their flight.As they were flying first-class, they had priority over the other passengers and boarded from the separate plug door at the first-class section.The capacity of the Boeing 777 was huge, and the wide-body aircraft could be connected to a special double corridor bridge where first class and business class passengers boarded separately from the economy class passengers.As the terminals to economy class and business class were connected, Elaine and Jacob were able to get through the first-class terminal unimpeded, but the passengers in economy class had a queue of over two hundred passengers. Even as she walked, Elaine was looking over her shoulder and exclaiming at Jacob, "Must be nice being rich! We used to have to queue like the rest of them, waiting for over thirty minutes just to board our flight." "In first class, we may be in the same plane, but we don't hav

Meanwhile, once Raymond had briefed everyone about the rules, he opened the door and invited everyone into Treasure Measure.It was not that wide but appeared spacious since the interior was mostly empty—it was not really crowded even with thirty-ish people.Then, locking the door from the inside, Raymond told them, "I can tell from everyone's faces that we are all veterans here, so I'm sure you understand the rules while appraising: no photos or videos, thank you very much."Indeed, there were many rules that governed the hobby, the most important being respecting the seller's requests and privacy.As the collectors listened, they knew that Raymond was selling but did not want the public to know too much about him.They all nodded, and those who had their phones out slid them back into their pockets.With that, Raymond took out the bronze sculpture that he had brought, leaving Trippy a little surprised.He had never seen the bronze sculpture with his own eyes before, only from

"Alright!" Trippy was at once fawning, tagging along behind Raymond like a little child.Around thirty people were waiting in front of Treasure Measure by now. The collectors came in twos or threes, and all ten numbers had since been taken.Before Raymond arrived, he had a brief look at the collectors' faces through the security cameras before walking over, and he was really relieved to see no familiar faces.Having traded Oskian antiques for years abroad, it was only natural that he was acquainted with some of the elite collectors in the country.He also knew that they were especially demanding with the quality of their collection and wanted almost flawless items. As such, the bronze sculpture which had been completely lost wouldn't interest them.Still, he was also a little concerned that amongst the elite collectors he knew, there might be some who were losing money and losing purchasing power in turn. If they happened to take an interest in the bronze sculpture on top of that,

Trippy grinned. "I mean, just look at my stall—ain't no way I'm getting any business here. Why not let me check out this item of yours? And see how interested they are? I'm really interested in learning and upping my game."Then, as if worried that Raymond would refuse, he quickly added, "Don't worry—I promise to stay in a corner and just watch."Still, Raymond could guess right then that someone must have sent Trippy to spy on him.It didn't matter whether it was Mick, Jacob, or Zachary either—they were all in this plot together, and one knowing meant all three knowing.Trippy was a gossiper in nature. If he was allowed to witness the whole process, everyone down Antique Street would definitely know before long.In fact, he could use someone like that right now, and Trippy had come straight to his doorstep.With that in mind, Raymond smiled, "Come join me if you're interested. It's not like there's anything to hide…"Pausing, he then warned Trippy, "But since you're going in my

After watching Mick's video, Jasmine's opinion of the man improved considerably.She was actually well aware that the decline of Vintage Deluxe was mostly due to Mick's incompetence.However, as Jasmine was now managing a billion-dollar company, she couldn't spare any time to ask many questions about Vintage Deluxe's performance. In her opinion, as long as Vintage Deluxe didn't lose too much money or ruin the reputation they had worked so hard to build, she wasn't interested in a regime change.It was the same mindset as Marianne Long, who begged her father to keep that lane full of food stalls in Hong Kong over sentiment.As such, seeing that Mick actually had some skill pleased her considerably.She couldn't resist checking out the comments of the video too.She saw that many were praising the manager of Vintage Deluxe for taking a tough stand against the scammer as well as how Vintage Deluxe's reputation was long-standing and without comparison.She soon noticed Jacob's comme

Soon, more collectors had gathered outside Treasure Measure even before Raymond showed up at Antique Street, with over ten of them gathered outside in no time at all.Since Raymond had only prepared ten slips, the rest left in disappointment seeing that they had no chance.Even so, the ten collectors who had gotten a number were nervous—save for the first man who had arrived.The details on the online sales post insisted that the price was fixed, and that first-come first-serve applies.If he bought the bronze sculpture, the other nine would have come all this way for nothing.However, if the seller decided to make it an auction, they would have a chance too, although their net profit would thin in turn. After all, they could have acquired the bronze sculpture for just 20 million, and that meant a solid 8 million in profit.An auction would at least raise the price to 27 million, and more would make it chicken feed.If they gave up at that point, it was a waste of a trip.If

Trippy naturally wasn't going to tell Mick everything word-for-word, so he said vaguely, "Uh, they were just being stubborn and refused to listen to anything I said. They kept saying that they wouldn't know until they saw the actual item."Mick got out of bed, staring at his phone as he mused to himself.This was getting a little ridiculous, was it not? A fool who was scammed, actually able to scam someone else? But if he really could sell it, wouldn't all their work be for nothing?With that in mind, he promptly called Zachary, who wasn't even up yet.Ever since he had started working for Don Albert, his daily routine was no longer the same as the days when he was a humble stall owner working on Antique Street, but a man of importance who slept late and woke up late.In the evening, he would be spending his time patrolling Don Albert's night entertainment properties as well as holding meetings with subordinates to decide on management policies and the like. That was why he wo

Seeing that Mick had a favor to ask, Trippy was naturally eager to seize the opportunity to get in his good graces."Don't worry, Mr. Crane!" He promptly replied. "Just leave it to me!"Returning to Treasure Measure, he went up to the first man who had come and said, "Hey, brother… Did you come to buy the bronze sculpture from Mr. Cole?"The man asked warily, "You know about the bronze sculpture?""Of course!" Trippy grinned. "I know all too well—it's actually famous here in Aurous Hill."Whipping out his phone, he played the short video that Mick had spent five grand promoting, saying, "Here—check this out!"Curious, the man took the phone and watched the video solemnly.The other latecomer soon hurried over as well and stared fixedly at the screen too.They watched as Bill entered a room with the bronze sculpture with Mick, the latter who checked it out and started commenting on it.The first man exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, it really is that bronze sculpture."The second ma
