The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 1520
Logically speaking, the three brothers held exactly 51% of the shares of their company, which was just in line with the absolute holding ratio. As long as the three brothers worked together, Golding Group would be under complete control of the family.However, Adrian and Rogan wanted to rob Yule’s shares, seeing that he was about to die.Since Adrian’s scheme today to get the shares failed, he prepared to pressure Yule into giving up his shares during tomorrow’s board meeting.Even if Yule wouldn’t agree to his terms now, he would definitely force Yule to give up the chairmanship to him tomorrow!As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a ruler for one day.A business empire as big and diversified as Golding Group could not be without its chairman.Although Yule was still alive, he was very sick. If he were to undergo treatment, he wouldn’t have the energy to manage the company’s affairs, but if he didn’t, he would not live long.Hence, now was the best time to abdicate h

Adrian and Rogan fled from Yule’s house with their men in a hurry.At this moment, the maid ran in and said, “Sir, several of our bodyguards are injured. Should I…”Yule immediately said with an urging gesture, “Hurry and call 911! Send them to Fairview for treatment. I’ll cover all the expenses as well as two hundred thousand dollars for each person for treatment. I’ll arrange for my secretary to go over.”The maid immediately nodded, took out her phone, and called 911.Then, they went to check the bodyguards. They looked quite miserable but they did not sustain any life-threatening injuries.These people were very ashamed of themselves though, and some didn’t dare to look up at Yule. They constantly cursed themselves for being too weak and a disappointment in Yule’s trust.Yule did not mind any of this. He comforted them one by one, “What happened today was an accident. They came prepared, and they had brought along with them high-skilled martial artists. It is indeed understan

Charlie took a deep breath, glanced at the three of them, and said seriously, “Uncle Golding, Aunt Golding, Nana—for as long as I’m alive, no matter where I am, I won’t let anyone bully you.”Then, he turned to Yule and said, “Uncle Golding, I have a way to cure your illness and make you healthy again!”If Charlie had said such a thing at dinner, Yule would not have believed him. He knew that his illness was incurable.However, after seeing Charlie defeat Warlord and Realm Master with his own strength, he suddenly had extremely strong faith and confidence in Charlie. He felt that Charlie must have some certainty since he had said so.He quickly asked, “Charlie, are you sure you can cure me?”Rachel also said, her eyes red and swollen, “Charlie, Yule’s condition is very serious now. We’ve consulted the most distinguished experts in this field, but they…”Rachel couldn’t bear to finish her sentence.They had heard this too many times.No matter which expert they met, all of them

The efficacy of the Rejuvenating Pill was beyond doubt. This was the essence recorded in the Apocalyptic Book, which could bring the dead trees back to life in spring, rejuvenate the elderly, and make dying people regain their health. At that time, Albert had seriously been injured by Webb's family bodyguard. He was nearly without breath, surviving only with his last faint breath. In that kind of situation, even if the world’s best doctor could save his life, it would be impossible to save his brain. The best outcome was to be in a vegetative state. However, after taking the Rejuvenating Pill, Albert had not only recovered fully but his physical state was also younger by at least ten years.This showed how magical the Rejuvenating Pill was. Therefore, Charlie believed that the Rejuvenating Pill could heal Yule.At this time, Yule consumed the Rejuvenating Pill in front of his wife. Immediately, he felt an unprecedented sense of comfort as the pill dissolved in his stomach.

After falling ill, Yule missed his former self countless times. At that time, he did not admit defeat easily! Despite being forty-five years of age, he still wanted to be like a young thirty-year-old man. In reality, his body at that time had been in much better shape than ordinary people of the same age due to good nurturing. Even though it was physically exhausting to lift the coffin, he managed to do it!At this moment, his peak state had come back!Yule sat on the chair and burst into tears immediately!He felt that all these were gifts from heaven! When he had been very ill, he had only hoped to survive. He had never thought of returning to this kind of peak state in his lifetime! However, right now, miraculous things were happening to him!At this moment, a miracle did not only happen on Yule’s body, but also in Rachel and Quinn's eyes! At a speed visible to the naked eye, they saw Yule’s pale and colorless face turning ruddy swiftly. The sunken eye socket

At this moment, Rachel and Quinn were already crying so much till they could not help themselves.Both persons—one on the left, the other on the right—were holding Yule’s warm hand. They were very emotional to the point that they could not speak. Yule had not undergone any medical tests. They also had not received any authoritative reports on whether Yule had been cured. Despite all these, they still believed their own eyes and own judgement that Yule had indeed recovered fully! As one who had personally experienced the effects of the Rejuvenating Pill, Yule knew his situation very well. He was ten thousand percent sure he had not only recovered fully but his body was also back to the state it had been when he was forty years old, about ten years ago. This made him ecstatic. It took him a long time to restrain his emotions. Then, he raised his head to look at Charlie with eyes full of gratitude. Immediately afterwards, he gently pushed his wife and daughter awa

After a while, Rachel brought a bottle of Maotai wine and walked in. Yule took the wine bottle. While opening the lid, he spoke, “Charlie, ever since my daughter was born, I’ve spent lots of money to buy the best Maotai wine on her birthday every year. Till now, my underground storeroom is filled with top level Maotai, which are auction worthy. Initially, I’d planned to wait till the day my daughter is married out to serve these to friends and family, but let’s try it first today!” Rachel, who was by the side, laughed and added, “Charlie, this batch of wine is very precious to me. The storeroom is like a chimera, one can only go in but can’t come out. No one has ever taken a bottle out to drink. Today is indeed the first time!” Yule chuckled and said, “This wine was originally prepared for Charlie and my daughter’s wedding. Drinking it now is like a warm up!” Quinn, who was by the side, blushed immediately. Charlie was inevitably embarrassed. Marriage? He

Hearing Yule’s question about the Rejuvenating Pill, he smiled and answered, “Uncle, this medicine is called the Rejuvenating Pill. I daren’t say that it’s a real elixir, but I can certainly say that it’s half-magical. It was refined by genius ancient Oskian doctors. I had also obtained it by chance.”Yule did not doubt him and said, “This medicine is too magical. It really doesn’t look like something from this world. The feeling when I took the medicine just now was dream-like! It seems there are indeed many things from our ancestors that we can’t understand!” Charlie nodded in agreement. Although he did not know who had written the Apocalyptic Book, based on the age of the Yuchun bottle, it should have been made during the Tang Dynasty. The bottle did not have any traces of later cuttings. In other words, the wooden box where the Apocalyptic Book was originally stored could have been placed in advance when making the mud before the Tang Dynasty craftsman made the Yuchun

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
