“Our Oskian ancestors would always think of how we can better ourselves. Even if we fight, we will only fight with ourselves—we fight with our past and present selves!”“The reason why we fight with our past selves is so that we can surpass our present and past selves. We want to improve ourselves in the medical field so that we can live longer. We want to improve our farming techniques so that we can feed more people. We want to improve our combat and fighting skills so that we can make ourselves better and stronger.”Having said that, Charlie looked at Nanako before he asked her, “If you are no longer allowed to participate in any more competitions from now on, will you give up on upgrading yourself or even practicing combat and fighting in the future?”Nanako blurted out, “Of course not! Even if I can no longer participate in any more competitions, I will never give up on combat and fighting!”Charlie smiled before he said, “That’s it. You love combat and fighting for itself, an

Charlie did not know what kind of look he had given Nanako.After all, he did not have a mirror at that time to look at the expression on his own face.However, he could remember his mood at that time.At that time, he had really felt distressed when he saw her constantly getting attacked and hit by her opponent.So, what Nanako had seen at that time should have been the distressed look in his eyes?As he thought about this, Charlie also felt a little embarrassed. He sighed as he said seriously, “Don’t be so silly in the future. You can go all out in the match, but don’t put yourself in a dangerous situation just for the sake of your own obsession.”When Nanako heard Charlie showing her some concern, she felt very excited, like a dainty and delicate woman. She nodded before she said, “I understand, Mr. Wade!”Charlie looked at her, and he could still see the bruises and scars on the corners of her eyes. At this time, he could not help but caution, “During the next match between

Based on the feedback, the sales of the Kobayashi Stomach Pill had already increased seven or eight times, which was already far beyond his expectations.According to these results, Kobayashi Pharma would definitely rise to the next level soon!At this point, Jiro felt pleasantly refreshed, and he could not help but drink a few more sips of the strong alcohol.After taking a few more sips of the whiskey, he felt a hot and burning sensation in his stomach. Immediately afterward, he felt some pain in his stomach.The expression on Jiro’s face changed slightly, and he immediately reached out his hand to take out a sachet of his own Kobayashi Stomach Pill.In truth, Jiro had always had a hidden stomach problem.He had a natural disposition and liking for good liquor, and he loved to drink strong alcohol. So, this had already left a negative impact and damage on his stomach.Last year, his stomach issues had become even more serious, and the doctor had advised him to stop drinking.

Jiro could not help but pay more attention to the matter when he heard his assistant’s words.He frowned as he said, “I also know of Quinn Golding. She is indeed a very beautiful woman who is also very good at acting. However, I never expected her to act as a spokesperson for our competitor this time.”After a slight pause, he said, “Why don’t you do this, then? Contact her agency and ask them how much it would cost for Quinn Golding to endorse our Kobayashi Stomach Pill instead!”His assistant nodded before he said, “Then, I will contact her agency early in the morning tomorrow.”Jiro replied coldly, “Do you still want me to wait until tomorrow morning? Contact them now! An agent’s cell phone is turned on twenty-four hours a day, and it is never turned off.”“Okay, I will contact them right now!”Jiro returned to his room, and he could not help but feel a little gloomy.He knew that in this era, no matter what people sold, what the competitors feared the most was the effect bro

Jiro did not take it seriously at all as he was consuming the Apothecary Stomach Pill.He felt that this medication would definitely be much worse compared to his own Kobayashi Stomach Pill. He would have to determine how much worse this medication was compared to his own Kobayashi Stomach Pill based on how he felt after taking a sachet of this medication.However, Jiro immediately frowned in the next second.After taking the Apothecary Stomach Pill, Jiro could clearly feel a very warm current in his stomach.The warm current felt like the spring rain which was silently moisturizing the earth without making a sound. The warm current quickly enveloped his stomach, and it brought about a very powerful and effective analgesic effect, giving him a very warm and comfortable feeling.His stomach discomfort disappeared completely because of this warm current, and his entire body felt very relaxed and comfortable!Jiro usually felt the same way whenever he took the Kobayashi Stomach Pill
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 1457
Jiro was truly angry and frustrated at this time.The Apothecary Stomach Pill provided the exact same kind of treatment as the Kobayashi Stomach Pill. This was an absolute benchmark product in itself.However, the effectiveness of the Apothecary Stomach Pill was much stronger compared to that of the Kobayashi Stomach Pill!Moreover, what was even worse was that the packaging specifications, the net content of the medication, and the price of the Apothecary Stomach Pill, were all the same as the Kobayashi Stomach Pill!This made Jiro feel very uncomfortable!The Apothecary Stomach Pill was much better compared to the Kobayashi Stomach Pill, but the quantity and price of the medication were exactly the same.Wasn’t this simply going to drive the Kobayashi Stomach Pill’s sales to a dead-end?!Also, with Quinn Golding endorsing the Apothecary Stomach Pill, this medication had suddenly become very popular in the domestic Oskian market. This was equivalent to completely cutting off th

His assistant replied in embarrassment, “Chairman, I do not know about that. The other party simply hung up the phone without allowing me to ask anything else in detail…”“What a b*stard!” Jiro replied angrily, “If that’s the case, we can only think of a way to deal with the Apothecary Pharmaceutical. In any case, I will have to buy over their patent formula no matter what it would cost me!”The assistant asked carefully, “Chairman, does the medicine work very well?”“It is super effective…” Jiro replied in a depressed manner, “It is at least ten times better than the Kobayashi Stomach Pill!”Jiro’s assistant was in shock. “Ten times? There is such a big difference?!”Jiro nodded, and he had a gloomy expression on his face as he said, “You should not allow this word to get out to the public. If we can get the prescription for the Apothecary Stomach Pill, we will be able to turn everything around and even take Kobayashi Pharma to the next level. However, if we cannot get our hands

The next day.Jiro left early in the morning as he headed straight for the Apothecary Pharmaceutical.After eating the breakfast made by his mother-in-law, Elaine, he borrowed his father-in-law’s car as he drove toward the Aurous Stadium.In fact, after Elaine’s attitude became even more docile, Charlie’s life at home had already become much more comfortable.Ever since Charlie told Elaine that he would give her a lot of money to take care of their children after Claire gave birth, Elaine began trying to please Charlie even more often now. At the same time, she was also constantly persuading Claire to give birth to a child as soon as possible.Although Elaine had already been married to Jacob for so many years, her cooking skills had never improved throughout all these years. After all, she was just trying to go through the motions with her husband and daughter.But now, Elaine was actually starting to study and read up on some cooking recipes on her cell phone. This was because

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
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6481
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
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6480
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
