One hundred million dollars in exchange for a clam.Everyone thought that Charlie was insane but Charlie did not care at all.On the way back home, Charlie explained to Jacob that he need not worry because the one hundred million dollars that he spent at the auction had already been authorized by the Quinton family. Charlie was afraid that Jacob would be frightened and worried about what the Quinton family would do to them.After arriving home, Charlie began studying the clam immediately since Claire had not returned home from work yet.The size of the clam was about the size of a regular tyre. It had already been cleaned up and after a simple polishing work, it revealed a golden-red and transparent smooth shell.Charlie managed to break it into several pieces without much effort at all.He picked up one of the pieces as he began inspecting it.As expected, there were three white beads attached to the back of the shell.This was the Holy Pearl of the Ocean, one of the Seven Tre

At this time, Claire took the bracelet in her hand before she asked, “Charlie, you made this yourself, right?”“Yes.”Charlie nodded before he replied, “This pearl and clam shard necklace has the effect of calming the nerves and it will help you to sleep well at night. If you wear it often, it will also help you to ward off evil. It was a little too rushed today that is why the workmanship is a little rough. I promise to make you a more beautiful bracelet when I have the opportunity to do so in the future.”Before he could even finish his sentence, Claire smiled and said, “Thank you, Charlie. I like it very much.”“I am glad that you like it.”Charlie heaved a huge sigh of relief at this time.The jade bracelet that he gave to Claire before this was in fact very precious and valuable. However, Claire did not wear it much.In fact, Claire was a very simple and casual person. She did not care much about gold or silver jewelry and she did not like to wear anything that is too showy

“What? A trick on the family?”Graham was stunned for a moment.Charlie was the only one who had done anything to change the Feng Shui of the Quinton family recently.Graham was very convinced with Charlie’s skills and abilities. Therefore, he quickly asked, “Mr. Yaleman, are you sure about this? There has indeed been someone who has recently helped to deal with the Feng Shui in my house. His name is Mr. Wade. However, it seems as though his methods had been working well so far. I don’t think that he’d cast a spell or magic trick on us.”Jack snorted before he shouted, “There are some people who pretend to be God and they’re the best at deceiving ignorant people! If you are willing to continue trusting him, then I will just leave immediately!”“Mr. Yaleman, please stay.” Graham panicked as he tried to stop Jack from leaving. “Could you please enlighten me, Mr. Yaleman? Could you please tell me what is wrong with his methods?”At this time, Jack reached out his hand and pointed to

”You, shut up!” Graham said as he glared at Adam. After that, he turned towards Jack before he said in a respectful manner, “Thank you for your advice. I will definitely pay more attention to these things in future.”Jack nodded in a meaningful manner before he got up and left.As soon as Jack left the mansion, Adam immediately said, “Second Uncle, Mr. Yaleman is a very well-known master from Mystery Court. How can a liar like Charlie even be compared to him? This time, Mr. Yaleman is even willing to help to solve our family problems without even taking a single penny from us!”“Mr. Yaleman did not even take a single penny from us but Charlie has already cheated our family of so much money! He even spent more than a hundred million dollars just to buy a broken clam at the auction today! This is a scam! This is definitely a scam! Second Uncle, why are you so willing to give him so much money? Why do you trust him so much? If word about this matter gets out, wouldn’t the people in Aur

After leaving the Quinton family, Jack started planning his next course of action.Of course, he wanted to take revenge on Charlie. He wanted to take back what Charlie had stolen from him. However, what he had done so far was not enough!The reason why he came to Aurous Hill this time was to establish a strong connection in Aurous Hill. He planned to recruit a group of believers so that he could establish his career further.Therefore, he had to come up with a masterplan to kill two birds with one stone.He wanted everyone in Aurous Hill to think of Charlie as nothing but a swindler!Charlie did not know that Jack was planning to use him as a sacrificial lamb to advance his own career.As he was busy buying vegetables to prepare dinner in the evening, Charlie suddenly received a phone call from Jasmine.After answering the call, Jasmine spoke to him in a serious manner as she said directly, “Mr. Wade, it seems as though Mr. Yaleman has invited some antique, Feng Shui, and metaph

Charlie nodded before he smiled and said, “I’ve come to meet all the masters here today.”A middle-aged man dressed in a long gown asked in surprise, “So, is this the buyer who bought the final treasure at the auction for one hundred million dollars?”Finn smiled before he introduced Charlie to the crowd. “Yes, this is Mr. Wade.”“What? Can he be considered a master too?” Zeke asked as he glanced at Charlie disdainfully. After that, he smiled before he said, “It seems as though anyone can call themselves a master nowadays. Any piece of trash on the street can also call themselves a master. However, though Mr. Yaleman is truly a master, he is so humble and he always keeps a low-profile.”The crowd of people felt very awkward as soon as Zeke finished speaking.Even though Zeke was belittling Charlie on purpose, everyone else agreed that Charlie could not be called a master, whether because of his age or the way he dressed.Almost all of the guests present here today were masters in

At this time, Zeke suddenly spoke up, “Everyone, please calm down. Mr. Yaleman is also doing this in consideration of the metaphysics circle! In the past, all of us were scattered all over the place. Now, if we choose to organize ourselves and form an alliance led by a single leader, it will definitely be more convenient for us to deal with any enemies in future. Moreover, if the challenger chooses a category that you aren’t good at, wouldn’t it be best for the rest of us? Our leader should be someone who is qualified and proficient in all aspects and disciplines in metaphysics.”After he spoke, some of the people sternly objected to the idea while some of the guests actually felt that this was indeed a good opportunity.After all, the winner would be given the opportunity to demand something from the loser. Moreover, if they got the first place, they would also be regarded as the leader of the metaphysics world.Metaphysics was not solely an academic term!If someone was seriously

Mr. Yaleman simply smiled without saying anything.Everyone was curious as they waited for the results.An hour passed by quickly and at this time, Jared was staring into space as he was feeling a little nervous.Suddenly, a loud bang was heard from the west! After that, a strong wind swept across the garden and there was a slight vibration from the ground.Zeke smiled as he looked at his cell phone and said, “Based on the news feed that I have just received, it seems as though someone tried to move some quarry rocks and it caused an explosion and a 2.4 magnitude earthquake in the west. The police have already arrested the culprit.”At this time, Jared raised his head and he no longer looked as arrogant as he was before this. He smiled awkwardly before he said, “Mr. Yaleman, you’re really incredible! I admit defeat. Today, I, Jared Young, have lost to you. I will withdraw from this banquet immediately.”After that, Jared picked up his jade before he turned around as he was prepar

Jacob wasn't really concerned with the invitation. He wouldn't be going anyway, and he wouldn't tell Elaine about it.Right now, he had a question.After hanging up on Walker, he asked curiously, "A designated driver would be just a few dozen bucks at most. Why get Walker?"Mr. Bay sighed meaningfully. "Jacob, my boy—it's not just my job description you must handle when you succeed me. You must understand the unspoken rules of the workplace as well as interpersonal relationships."Raising his right index finger, he chuckled, "Earning the loyalty of subordinates is a science. But it has to be a carrot and stick—never just the carrot, while offering them chances to be of service.""Take Walker, for example. As his boss, buying him lunch is 5 points. Ask for a favor, but it's 50 points instead!""As a leader, you should also make sure to give requests that are reasonable. That way, they will consider you to be their ally, or soon enough.""People are strange that way—psychology sim

Jacob certainly agreed with Mr. Bay. When going to a dinner where alcohol would be involved, having a designated driver would be most convenient.Still, Jacob had another plan in mind.Since he had a Cullinan and this was the perfect chance to show off, it would kill him not to drive."Actually, we should go on our own," Jacob told Mr. Bay right then. "We will take my car and get a designated driver to take us home. We can hang out in the backseat to chat—I mean, you'd be in a bad mood if you get a bad driver, bringing a car that stinks of tobacco. You know how bad it can get."Mr. Bay nodded cheerfully. "Alright! I'm counting on you!""Oh, it's only right!"Coming to an agreement, they hurried outside, with Jacob driving and Mr. Bay riding shotgun.They were having a pleasant conversation when Jacob suddenly got a call from Walker, who was his sub at Senior University.Answering with the in-car Bluetooth system, he said, "Hey, Walker. What's up?""Mr. Wilson! I'm done with cl

As such, Albert did not hesitate to say right then, "Don't worry, Mr. Wilson—since they are your friends, I will offer the half-price rebate as you've suggested! When the guests take their seats, I'll personally deliver a couple of nice bottles over as a token of my sincerity!"Oskia truly sets the bar when it comes to being humanistic.There were times when one must show due respect, but not too much either in case it changed the status quo.It was just like a couple eating out with a third-wheel.Even if the third-wheel was better off and happily took the check as the girl watched, there would inevitably be competitiveness. The generosity might even lead to the girl getting attracted to the third-wheel.As such, since Jacob was actually secondary in importance at the event, Albert would have to make sure not to rain on the host's parade while showing his respects to Jacob. Otherwise, the host may hold a grudge against Jacob even if everything was free of charge.And when it cam

Jacob put a hand on his chest. "Don't worry—everything is going to be fine when my son-in-law takes the stage."As soon as he finished speaking, an unknown number called his phone.He answered, hearing a familiar voice he couldn't quite place, "Good afternoon. Am I speaking to Mr. Jacob Wilson?""Yes. May I ask who I am speaking to?""Albert Rhodes, owner of Heaven Springs at your service. Would you happen to remember me?"Hearing that, Jacob turned on the speaker excitedly as he continued, "Oh, yes, Don Albert! Of course I remember!"Mr. Bay's eyes lit up when he heard Albert announce himself, and he mouthed, "Is that really Don Albert?!"Jacob nodded repeatedly, his vanity burgeoning.Mr. Bay was naturally thrilled too, and he leaned closer to listen just as Albert spoke humbly, "If it's alright with you, Mr. Wilson, please don't address me as Don Albert. It's just a title some brats came up with—you are Master Wade's father-in-law, which means you have seniority over me. So,

Mr. Bay was overjoyed, seeing how quickly Jacob agreed to it. "Thanks, Jacob! I owe you!" He exclaimed, but soon added, "It's past four now, and that bunch like to fraternize in the room before they eat. Could you get the room soon? I think they'll be arriving soon."Then, he moved closer to add quietly, "If you can get a Diamond Room like before, I will bring you along. I'm not going to lie, these are officials with decision-making authority. Being friends with them might propel us to new heights!"Jacob already knew that Mr. Bay was sucking up to his friend, otherwise, he wouldn't be so concerned when the dinner was organized by said friend. Understanding that the friend must be important too, Jacob was at once buoyed.After all, he had presumed that becoming vice president was the most he could achieve.Now, if he could attend that dinner with Mr. Bay and establish a good relationship with those bigwigs, he would have his turn when Mr. Bay got promoted too.With that in min

Reservations in Heaven Springs had always been unpredictable, and most rooms weren't open to the general public—even if said rooms were vacant for the night.It was not as if Albert Rhodes didn't want to make money when he built Heaven Springs. He simply didn't do it solely for profit, but only mostly for social events and posturing.Back when he was a humbler member of society, he realized that many bigwigs and even his fellows cared for pride a lot. Be it food, liquor, or even simply everyday consumption, they always strove for the best and the most expensive.That was why polite society valued their privacy and established their respective social circles, which was why Heaven Springs ensured that everything was first-rate: atmosphere, service, food, and clientele.Just like how bigwigs wouldn't dine at the same table as their goons, said goons wouldn't eat at the fancy places those bigwigs frequented even if they had money, as it may appear as if they were overstepping.That wa

As such, intent on keeping up his pretense, Jacob answered the phone, "Looking for me, Matilda?""Uh-huh," Matilda replied, and asked, "You didn't show up at Senior University, and your sub is saying you probably won't be coming for a while? Is that true?""Oh—right, that," Jacob quickly said. "Well, it's true—the gist of it is that the Association is getting busy with a project. As the vice president, I probably shouldn't be staying at Senior University all the time, right?""Heck, Mr. Bay called me last minute, telling me how busy we're going to be and that I was needed. That's why I had to go back, but I will head over to campus again when I have the time."Matilda knew right then that those were all excuses.However, she did not expose Jacob, instead asking, "Well, when are you free? So that I can send you my wedding invitation?""Oh, the invitation?" Jacob quickly chuckled. "You really didn't have to come to me—just pass it to Walker, my sub lecturer. He can pass it to me wh

The next afternoon, there was a sudden change of lecturers for the calligraphy class.Despite being the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, Jacob never showed up, instead getting a substitute instructor to replace him.Matilda had come with the invitation Yolden had written for Jacob, but seeing that Jacob wasn't at the lecture hall, she waited until the class was over to ask the sub, "Excuse me, can I ask why Mr. Wilson wasn't teaching this class?""He's busy at the association," the sub replied. "So, I'm taking over his class."Curious, Matilda pressed, "Then, would you happen to know when he will be coming?""Probably not for a while," the sub replied. "He delegated other classes to me as well, telling me that I could just stick to the PowerPoint slides."Then, he asked, "Do you have business with Mr. Wilson?"Matilda nodded. "Yes, but I can call him myself. Thank you."Leaving the lecture hall, Matilda called Jacob, who was goofing off in his office

On the other end, Matilda was left staring at Jacob's reply in confusion.She had presumed that Jacob would understand when she mentioned inviting his whole family that he should be coming up with an excuse to skip attending her wedding.That was the most ideal solution.As such, she was shocked that instead of playing along, Jacob's reply was short and blunt.[No problem. The four of us will be there!]Perplexed, Matilda was left wondering what Jacob meant. Was he really going to attend her wedding with Elaine?The thought left Matilda frowning as she absolutely didn't want to see Elaine—especially not at her own wedding.Yolden was writing an invitation when he saw the somber look on her face, and he couldn't help asking, "Is there a problem?""Jacob replied," Matilda admitted. "And he's saying that he will bring his whole family.""Really?" Yolden was confused too, as he was hardly as eccentric as Jacob. "But he's afraid of his wife and shouldn't be telling her at all…
