While Charlie was treating Quinn, Nanako had just watched her mentor, Kazuki, fall asleep with her own eyes. She turned wearily to Hiroshi and said, “Tanaka-san, please stay here and take care of my master for me. I must get some rest. Otherwise, it’s unlikely that I will make it to the semifinals, let alone defeat Aurora.”For Nanako, although Kazuki strongly advised her to go and worship Charlie as her master, she was not prepared to do so. In her opinion, her mentor was injured to this extent by Charlie with a single palm strike. No matter who was right or wrong in this matter, she couldn’t abandon her mentor at this moment and go to worship Charlie as her master.Moreover, deep down inside, she felt that Charlie would most likely not take her as his disciple, mainly because Charlie was wealthy, and he strongly despised the Japanese. She didn’t know what kind of leverage she had to impress him.Therefore, she had decided to fight this match to the best of her ability, and then,

In a luxurious Mercedes-Benz sedan, Jiro was behind the wheels with the quiet Nanako by his side as they left the hospital.As soon as he drove the car out of the hospital gates, Nanako couldn’t help but ask, “Kobayashi-san, who exactly is this miracle doctor you mentioned? Could you please tell me now?”Jiro nodded. “Nanako-san, the doctor’s name is Anthony Simmons. He is a renowned doctor in traditional Chinese medicine throughout Oskia. He was the one who cured the paraplegic patient some time ago, the kind of disability that was judged to be impossible to cure in medical history.”Nanako had always been very healthy and fit, so she had never paid attention to what was going on in the medical world, and certainly, she knew nothing about Anthony.However, she was intrigued as soon as Jiro mentioned him, and her heart suddenly swelled with great anticipation.Hence, she hurriedly pursued, “Kobayashi-san, may I ask where I can meet this miracle doctor?”Jiro lamented with a sigh,

With a puzzled look on her face, Nanako asked, “Kobayashi-san, do you have any problem with this Dr. Simmons?”“Oh, no, no.” Jiro hurriedly waved his hand and said seriously, “I’ve never met Dr. Simmons before. By the way, frankly speaking, before my brother passed away, he once offended the doctor, so I’m afraid he holds a grudge against our family. In order not to affect his decision when you ask him to treat Yamamoto-san, it’ll be better if you don’t say my name. You can call me Tanaka-san.”“Alright, then.” Nanako nodded. She took the lead, stepped through the door, knocked, and asked, “Excuse me, is Dr. Simmons in?”The staff was surprised to see such a gorgeous and elegant woman standing at the door. He said politely, “Hello, I’m sorry but the clinic is closed now, and Dr. Simmons will not attend to any more patients for today. Please come back tomorrow if you need his service.”Nanako hurriedly said, “Please tell Dr. Simmons that there is a patient who urgently needs his hel
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 1409
Nanako didn’t expect that Charlie Wade would be Master Wade in Dr. Simmons’s eyes or even the True Dragon.Japan had a lot of mythical legends about dragons. After all, the Japanese civilization was originally passed over from Oskia, so the similarities of the two civilizations were very significant.In Japanese culture, dragons were regarded as the most divine creatures that shared almost the same status as gods.However, it was beyond her imagination that this old divine doctor would honor such a young man as the True Dragon on earth.Of course, she couldn’t have known that the influence Charlie brought to Anthony had overturned Anthony’s decades-long perceptions.In Anthony’s opinion, the medical skills that Charlie had displayed as well as the unbelievable medicine refinery skills were simply unique and extraordinary in the world.Not to mention, he himself had benefited greatly from Charlie. A healing magical elixir and the Rejuvenating Pill had opened a new chapter in his l

“Charlie Wade?!”The mention of Charlie’s name sent a chill down Jiro’s spine. He hurriedly said, “Nanako-san, you must stay away from Charlie Wade! This person is extremely dangerous, it is best not to have too much contact with him…”Then, he added, “Besides, you must never listen to Yamamoto-san’s advice and worship Charlie Wade as your master. As far as I’m concerned, this Charlie guy is very unfriendly to the Japanese, otherwise, he wouldn’t have brutally crippled Yamamoto-san simply because of what Yamamoto-san said!”Nanako nodded. “I didn’t think that he would take me as his disciple, but I hoped that he would be able to do something to heal Yamamoto-san or help put in a good word to get Dr. Simmons to heal him.”Jiro hurriedly asked, “So, are you going to visit Charlie some other time?”“No, not another day. I will go to him today.”“Today?! But it’s already evening! Are you really going to meet Charlie right now?”“Yes! Now!”With a face full of determination, Nanako

It was true that Charlie was very disgusted with Yamamoto Kazuki, but to be fair, he had a good impression of Nanako.Although Nanako had been practicing martial arts for many years, she was a very gentle woman to the core and could be considered a sensible girl which was very rare in the martial art circle.Upon hearing that, Anthony immediately said, “Okay, Master Wade, I understand. Don’t worry, if she comes over again, I’ll do my due diligence in hospitality.”“Good, that would be wise,” Charlie replied. “Okay, Mr. Simmons, I’m almost home, talk to you later.”“Okay, Master Wade.”After ending Anthony’s call, Charlie drove the car into the villa area of Thompson First.He gradually slowed down as he was about to arrive at his house when suddenly, a shadow flashed out from one side and blocked his car.Charlie hurriedly stepped on the brakes to stop the car. He looked up to find the person blocking the front of his car was none other than Nanako!He was puzzled.‘What is th

Nanako frowned and said, “Mr. Wade, please clarify your statement!”Charlie uttered, “First of all, if you walk on the path of the world of martial arts, you should first cultivate your mind, your body, and then the arts.”“In other words, the importance of the mind in pursuing this journey is greater than the physical strength and the type of martial arts.”“It doesn’t matter whether you practice combat, kickboxing, karate, taekwondo, Wing Chun, or Tai Chi. This is not important. What matters is your heart!”Nanako asked, puzzled, “My heart? What’s wrong with my heart?”Charlie snorted and chided in a condescending tone, “Your heart is full of petty benevolence. It is filled with artifice; it is narrow-minded; it does not admit defeat; most importantly, it lacks wolfishness!”“Wolfish?!” Nanako’s face twisted into a tightened grimace as she exclaimed, “What do you mean? What is wolfishness?”Charlie uttered, “The so-called wolfishness is a wolf nature. It describes the toughnes
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 1413
Charlie’s words made Nanako realize that she had never been a qualified martial artist.She had won a world championship, and she had been crowned as one of the top young martial artists in the world, yet, she didn’t understand the basic principle of martial arts and the soul within it.Seeing her crying profusely and her body trembling, Charlie couldn’t help but sigh and said, “I’m sorry, I was too harsh with my words just now, but I was hoping that you would understand what the true soul of martial arts is!”Nanako raised her head, her big red eyes staring at Charlie. Then, she bent her legs and knelt on the floor as she said in a sobbing voice, “Please enlighten me, Mr. Wade. I’m ready to listen to your guidance!”Instead of offering his hand to help her up, Charlie said with a serious expression, “The soul of the martial art is not the physical strength, but the strength of the heart!”“If you are strong from within, you will still live up to the spirit of martial arts even if

There were those in Antique Street who made their living from swindling the average Joe while others swindled antique traders.In fact, it was already cliche for them to trick antique traders with forgeries, and it was not surprising that someone had tried their luck on the opening day of Raymond's shop.As such, it was strange that he had just started today without any hype or even a proper shop sign, but someone was already after him.That told him that he was being targeted, and Raymond was putting his money on Zachary.The sole reason for that was how Zachary had come earlier to ask Raymond about how much capital he had, and he had humbly said a few hundred thousand.The fact that Billy had come and immediately demanded 500 thousand made even more sense—he wanted to siphon all of Raymond's capital.Even losing money wasn't the worst part—the worst was being labeled as an amateur.When that happened, customers who wanted the good stuff wouldn't come to him, and he would find

Just as Jacob was celebrating fooling Raymond, getting his revenge, and earning 200 thousand on top of that, Charlie was left musing to himself on the second floor of the teahouse.He knew that Billy was a conman as soon as he saw him, but he didn't understand why Raymond would buy from Billy.Could the item really be medieval as Raymond stated?As soon as the thought occurred to him, Charlie was sure of it. Given Raymond's knowledge of antiques, there was no way he would mess up in Antique Street of Aurous Hill.While his father-in-law and Zachary had worked hard to weave this elaborate conspiracy, Charlie still wondered how they would take the news that Raymond had bought something worth millions for just 300 thousand.Meanwhile, Raymond watched as Billy left and locked the door from the inside before studying the bronze sculpture once more.He trusted his own judgment that it was a gilded bronze statue from the medieval era. He was playing down its importance since the bronze

Meanwhile, Raymond sighed unhappily. "I really can't afford four hundred grand—like I said, there's not much to offer here in my shop, which I've been investing a lot in. I'd have to pay rent to the owner soon as well, and everything would end terribly for me if I paid that much…"Billy blurted right then, "You said it's medieval and worth millions, didn't you? You'd make a fortune if you sold it!"Raymond sighed again. "Million-dollar antiques aren't that easily sold, and people would be especially skeptical with a small business like mine. I could sell it at an auction too, but that's only happening when someone decides to organize one, not to mention the troublesome appraisal processes it involves.""And right now, I just think it's medieval in terms of style, but I'm no authority in the matter. In the end, it's up to experts and specific groups that would verify it, and if I messed up, it's entirely my loss.""Even if I'm lucky and it's medieval, I'd still have to wait until th

"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
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6468
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
