“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

Thinking about the possibilities, his face lit up with hope and with begging eyes, he looked at Jiro. “Kobayashi-san…Please, could you please help this old man out…”Jiro’s face was filled with embarrassment.If Nanako were to ask him to perform other tasks, he would do his best to complete it for her so as to win her affection.But now, she’s asking him to do something behind Charlie’s back and sneak Mr. Yamamoto back to Japan!This…this would be too dangerous a task that might even cost him his life!They had no idea how scary Charlie can be. They also don’t know all the cruel and heartless way Charlie dealt with these kinds of businesses. Jiro, on the other hand, was perfectly clear on what would happen if one were to cross Charlie.Previously, his own older brother was tricked and manipulated by Charlie in Aurous Hill!During that time, Jiro’s private jet was already waiting at the Aurous Hill airport. All they needed to do was to make sure that the older brother was able to

When they saw the video of the stand-up comedy between Cain and Marcus, Nanako and Kazuki turned as white as a sheet.Nanako finally understood what Jiro meant when he said that he could not afford to provoke Charlie.Most people could not afford to provoke this kind of malefic person. Most importantly, they were all on his territory.At this time, Nanako burst into tears before she blurted out, “Why don’t I call my father and ask him to find a way then?”Jiro kindly persuaded her, “Miss Nanako, even if you call Mr. Ito, he won’t be able to do anything about it. Even if Mr. Ito were to set off immediately, the flight from Tokyo to Aurous Hill will take at least two to three hours. Charlie’s people will be here in half an hour at most. There’s nothing that he’d be able to do at all…”Although the Ito family was very powerful in Japan, their influence in Aurous Hill was very minimal.Not to mention Nanako, but even if her father Yahiko were to come here, it was highly likely that h

Therefore, her roundhouse kick was extremely fast and powerful!Joanna did not take Aurora’s roundhouse kick seriously at all. This was because she knew Aurora’s strength very well and she knew that Aurora would not pose too much of a threat to herself. So, she subconsciously stretched out her hands to block it!At the same time, she had also prepared a tactical plan deep in her heart.After blocking Aurora’s leg with both her hands, she would immediately stretch out her right foot to step on Aurora’s right knee. As long as she succeeded in giving Aurora a fatal blow, then she would be able to use her left leg to give another vicious blow and put Aurora down immediately!However, Joanna would never have dreamed that Aurora’s roundhouse kick would be wrapped in such terrifying power that Joanna had never witnessed before!Joanna felt a huge force hitting her palms and arms in an instant and immediately after that, Joanna flew directly out of the ring with a loud bang!The audience

Raymond chuckled at the title, humble as ever, "The Duke of Wastage? Now, that's quite the royal title, and I don't think I deserve such an honor…"Trailing off, he then made an especially curious look, "By the way, how'd you know they were calling me that?"Seeing that he was still so ignorant, Jacob scoffed. "You bought a Renaissance-era bronze sculpture earlier, didn't you?"Raymond nodded. "I did. But technically, it's medieval and not Renaissance, along with a Renaissance-era base."Jacob clutched his stomach as he laughed, "Oh, please! Medieval? Hahaha… You're killing me, Mr. Cole!"Raymond kept a serious look on his face. "It's really medieval. Why don't you take a look?""No way," Jacob snorted, pursing his lips. "Anyway, word has already spread that someone was selling a counterfeit bronze sculpture to defraud Antique Street for some serious dough. He went first to Vintage Deluxe, but their manager, Mr. Crane, saw through it and didn't buy it… and then he came to you, an

That was why most of the collectors only knew that such an item existed but they did not know in whose possession it was.After registering a new account and paying the ten thousand registration fee, Raymond got in.It was very safe as it was anonymous, and he posted a photo of the bronze sculpture and an announcement with an asking price of twenty million.In his opinion, it wasn't that expensive—if it was still gilded, it would be worth around a hundred million. Without it, it was plenty reasonable to cut the price down to just thirty million.And Raymond was cutting another ten million off that, so twenty million was plenty reasonable.Moreover, medieval bronze sculptures were exceedingly rare, and less than one specimen showed up annually at times. Collectors who desired it would therefore be willing to break the bank for it, and that was why Raymond was sure that someone would put in an order once he posted it.As he wrote the summary of the item, someone knocked on his door

Jacob frowned in disdain. "Why would I be worried? He's no longer the manager of Vintage Deluxe, and he just lost a shit ton of money for messing up his appraisal. I am also the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, so why would I be worried about some loser who will soon be kicked out of Antique Street?"Straightening his collar, he snorted coldly, "I am now going to see Raymond Cole and humiliate him face-to-face! He thinks he's impressive, doesn't he? Let's see how he will keep up that facade!"Zachary chuckled, "Yes, exactly! People like him need to be given a slap in the face! As hard as you can! Don't worry—I'll be right behind you. If he gets physical, I'll rush in to help. If he doesn't dare to start a fight, you just insult him as much as possible!""Good plan!" Jacob nodded since he was concerned that Raymond might get physical when pushed too far.And with his body, there was no way he could beat anyone…Spreading his arms, he exclaimed, "Come! I'l

Mick inspected every video to see who was getting the most views, and he then paid out of his own pocket to use paid advertising to get the video viral.It cost five thousand and it hurt, but reaching the trending page was definitely worth it.Mick was quite shrewd too, making sure that the paid advertising was focused locally. After all, he knew all too well that five thousand didn't buy many clicks, and clicks from elsewhere might be too sporadic to gain any worthwhile attention.As he worked in Antique Street, he naturally had to come up with a plan to promote himself in this place, ideally presenting himself as a master appraiser.That way, his fame would slowly extend throughout the province and perhaps Eastern Oskia, and eventually the country.As such, focusing on Aurous Hill was the best idea.Moreover, he also had another idea—if Jasmine Moore happened to see this video, she would see him in a new light.When that happened, he could look forward to getting really rich!
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6478
Soon, the video of Mick's staged act was uploaded to the online group, and everyone eagerly watched it as soon as it was done uploading.Mick certainly set a new bar with his acting as none of them could see that it was an act.Moreover, everyone could see that the bronze sculpture looked like the real deal, and they might have been swindled if it were them.As such, they couldn't help being impressed as Mick had easily seen through Billy's con, and he was the definition of a pro in that video.No matter how Billy had packaged it, there was no tricking real experts like Mick Crane. Just a quick glance and he had seen through that it was a postmodern replica, matched with a base from the Renaissance era to misdirect and beguile.With that, many fellow antique dealers changed their opinion of Mick.After all, Vintage Deluxe's business had been declining after Mick took over as manager, and people were presuming that his skills were lacking.But now, they were all shown that he had

"Amazing, Mr. Crane!""It's Mr. Crane who shines through, in the end! His eyes see through everything!""I guess Miss Moore made the right choice firing Raymond and appointing Mr. Crane! Mr. Crane is infinitely better!"Mick was immediately thrilled to see them fawning over him, and he laughed, "You flatter me—I'm merely sharing my personal perspective on this. In this trade, anyone who knows would understand how hard it is to get the good stuff in this age of technology.""There are plenty of people who hold ulterior motives and change their tactics knowing that there are always those scheming to get their hands on vintage treasures, so they just have to make it. That is how they started making counterfeits of everything, from scrolls to sculptures to statues, each of them so real just to trick those fools who think they could get rich overnight!""Exactly!" Someone promptly agreed. "There's never a lack of any such fools, and I just happened to meet one. I had this piece of jade

In groups like these, any gossip would immediately spread like wildfire as people share everything here with their other circles.Within minutes of these people's good work, Antique Street was abuzz even as the skies darkened: one of the antique traders had been swindled for 300 thousand, and it was Raymond Cole—the former manager of the Vintage Deluxe at that!Some of them wondered when Raymond had actually returned while others were laughing.He was supposed to be the former manager of the Vintage Deluxe, but he had messed up as well? You had to be kidding!Many were dumbstruck too—how would Raymond survive in Antique Street after losing so much money? It had been so long since such a major scam had been pulled!As such, all the antique dealers were asking one question: how did Raymond Cole get fooled?Meanwhile, Mick didn't leak the security footage right away, instead sending his people out to spread the news in other channels, claiming that Raymond thought he had won big by
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6475
Mick had already clipped the security footage and was waiting for Zachary's word.He had checked the footage repeatedly as well and was only getting more impressed with his masterful acting by the second. He looked just like a maestro, and every detail he mentioned was flawless and showed experience.Zacahry even said that Raymond had truly slipped up with that bronze sculpture, leaving him endlessly thrilled.The proverbial missing piece of the puzzle was here!Hence, calling all the staff he trusted, he told them excitedly, "Spread the word right away—Raymond Cole slipped up, spending 300 thousand on a fake Renaissance-era bronze sculpture!"His staff had no idea of the conspiracy involved, only that Mick had said that someone had tried to sell a counterfeit bronze sculpture but he had seen through it right away and chased him away, only for Raymond to end up buying the fake bronze sculpture soon after.Someone asked, "Mr. Crane, don't you think Raymond Cole bought from the man
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6474
Raymond had said everything he should and shouldn't and with complete sincerity exactly because Billy would never believe it.As Billy just wanted to swindle him, it didn't matter how sincere Raymond was—he wanted the 300 thousand whatever it took. The key here was that Billy had refused a better prospect when told it was possible, and there was evidence that would support Raymond if either he or Zachary realized the truth and came to start trouble.That meant Raymond had nothing to worry about—they could take this to the United Nations but he'd still win this case.Having been in the antique trade for so long, he had seen every form of oddity and was always cautious with people, considering every aspect of any issue.Hence, once he downloaded the security footage to his phone, Raymond decided that he needed to sell the bronze sculpture—not because he was in urgent need of money, but because he realized that there were those who wanted him out of Aurous Hill's Antique Street.Afte
