Early the next morning, Charlie was planning to bid farewell to Quinn’s family and then take a taxi to the airport but unexpectedly, Yule insisted on personally driving him to the airport.Rachel and Quinn were both accompanying them.Charlie didn’t want to trouble them and waste their precious time but they insisted and it was difficult for him to reject their hospitality, so he agreed.Yule was driving his Rolls-Royce with Rachel sitting at the passenger seat, while Charlie and Quinn were both seated in the back seat.Quinn was feeling a little depressed but since her parents were in the car, she tried to refrain from speaking. She looked as if there was a lot on her mind.As the outline of the airport was within sight, Quinn built up some courage to reach out her hand to grab Charlie’s hand and gave it a little squeeze.Charlie turned his head and saw Quinn looking back at him with a stubborn and resentful stare. He couldn’t help but feel a little sense of guilt building up wi

The salesperson frowned and said, “Sir, the price of this bag is $580,000.”Charlie hummed and said, “No problem, I want it.”The salesperson then replied, “Excuse me sir, if you want to purchase this bag, you’ll have to purchase items of a similar amount also known as accompanying purchase”Charlie was surprised by the statement and asked. “What do you mean to purchase items of a similar amount? Can’t I just buy this bag directly?”The salesperson smiled contemptuously as she replied. “Sir, is this your first time purchasing a Hermes bag? Have you bought anything from Hermes previously?”Charlie shook his head. “No, may I know what the problem is?”The salesperson hummed, “A lot of Hermes bags aren’t something you can purchase that easily. Just because you want to purchase it doesn’t mean that you can get it directly. You can pick, choose, and buy anything you like but those only apply for the general merchandise and basic model bags which are below $300,000. Anything above that

At that moment, Tanaka’s attention was completely placed on the fashionable and somewhat flirtatious woman who was beside him.That was why he did not notice Charlie who was in the store.Since the two spoke the Oskian dialect, Charlie speculated that the female companion had to be from Oskia.After the two of them walked into the shop, the woman dragged Tanaka around the shop to look around. Immediately after, she pointed at the Hermes limited edition handbag that Charlie has already selected for his wife and said flirtatiously, “Tanaka, I want this bag!”Tanaka replied embarrassingly, “My dear, we’ve come all the way to Eastcliff to look for a world-renowned doctor for the eldest lady. We aren’t here to shop! It’s bad enough that we failed to meet the doctor… I really have no idea how I’m supposed to go back to face the family…If you really want to do some shopping, then could you please wait till we return to Japan first? I will take you to Tokyo and you can shop all you like th

Charlie heard those words and snorted. “What’s there to show-off? A Japanese family standing on my beloved Oskian soil? Believe it or not, even if Ito Yahiko was standing in front of me and pretended to be brave and strong. I’d still beat him into a pulp and make him kneel before me and call me grandpa!”“A*shole!” Tanaka, who was originally feeling a little guilty for his girlfriend’s impoliteness towards Charlie, suddenly shouted angrily.He then proceeded to scold sternly. “How dare you disrespect Mr. Ito! Are you tired of living?!”Charlie smiled, turned his head to look at Tanaka and asked coldly, “Is it Tanaka? It’s been a long while.”The moment Tanaka saw Charlie, his expression changed. It was as if he had seen a ghost!He still remembers clearly how Charlie had utterly destroyed Mr. Yamamoto with a single move.There was no doubt that Charlie is definitely the most abnormally powerful person he has ever known in his life. He did not expect to meet this devil in the Herm

“Eldest Lady?”Upon hearing Charlie’s question, Tanaka expression saddened and he sighed softly. “Mr. Charlie, I won’t hide this from you. The eldest lady has suffered a very serious injury from her previous fight with Ms. Aurora. Although she is lucky enough to be alive, her body is no longer as strong as it used to be. Now she’s recuperating in Kyoto…”Charlie couldn’t help but feel a little nervous as he remembered Nanako’s tender looks.However, Charlie was able to conceal his emotions well. With a poker face, he said. “Are there any problematic complications? Will she be able to participate in future competitions?”Tanaka gave a bitter smile. “I don’t think she would be able to participate in any competitions in the future. Her body is so fragile and weak now. It was just a few days ago where she was able to gather enough strength to stand but she wasn’t able to walk much. Nowadays, she spends most of her time lying in bed, recuperating. In the evening, when the sun is about t

Charlie sighed with a saddened expression. He then turned around and bought some small Hermes items from the counter as the accompanying products. After matching up to $500,000, he swiped his card to checkout and carried the bunch of Hermes gift boxes out of the shop and headed to the VIP lounge.As soon as Charlie arrived at the VIP lounge, Loreen was already waiting for him inside.Seeing Charlie walking into the lounge with all those Hermes bags, Loreen couldn’t help but feel a little jealous as she spoke. “I was wondering why I didn't see you when I arrived. Now I know where you’ve been. Seems like someone is busying shopping at Hermes. Are these presents for Claire?”Charlie nodded very naturally. “I’m finally here in the big city of Eastcliff, so of course I’ll have to buy some souvenirs for my wife.”Loreen curled her lips and said. “Charlie…I realized that you have a lot of secrets. Quinn Golding is a superstar and her autograph, once placed on an online platform, can fetch

Charlie was already a little numb to Loreen’s unabated love confession towards him at this point.So, he simply treated it as though Loreen was just joking with him. He changed the subject and asked her, “By the way, your cousin Dylan must be cycling now. So, where is he now?”Loreen pouted her lips in disappointment. She knew very well that Charlie had been avoiding her when it came to all these emotional matters. So, she had already gotten accustomed to Charlie’s attitude. When she saw he was simply changing the topic, she followed suit as she said, “I heard that he had already arrived at Johnsrines Bay this morning. However, I heard he came down with a cold after sleeping under a bridge last night.”Charlie said with a faint smile, “When he arrives at Aurous Hill, his physical fitness would have already improved abundantly.”Loreen chuckled as she said, “To be honest, your punishment might be a good thing for him. My cousin is usually very arrogant and domineering. He would ofte

Loreen laughed as she said, “I got it!”Claire smiled and said, “It so happens that I have nothing on today. I will drive to the airport to pick both of you up later.”“Okay then!” Loreen smiled as she said. “I will have to trouble my beautiful friend to make a trip to the airport then.”Claire laughed as she said, “Why are you being so polite with me? Besides that, I am not going to the airport just to pick you up. I want to fetch Charlie too.”Loreen replied, “Okay then. I know that you want to fetch Charlie, and you are only picking me up on the way, right?”Claire smiled and said, “Yes!”“Okay, okay.” Loreen replied helplessly, “I am already very satisfied that you can also pick me up on the way!”Claire replied, “Then I will not talk to both of you anymore. See you at the airport later!”“Okay!”…After a two hours’ flight, the plane landed smoothly at Aurous Airport.When Charlie and Loreen came out of the airport together, they saw Claire who was already waiting there

The other antique traders who were keeping tabs on the situation were left confused by Trippy's message.[Maybe even those out-of-towners know that Raymond is a sucker? So they traveled overnight just to see what happens?][I know Raymond is in trouble, but is it really worth traveling hundreds of miles just to watch?][Maybe they know he's a sucker, so they came to sell him more counterfeits?][Shit, that must be it! Suckers are rare these days, after all!][Damn straight! Just knowing that there's one in Aurous Hill, you'd be eager to come over.]Even Mick Crane who had just woken up and saw the message immediately sent a voice message: "Those conmen are just like flies flocking around shit as soon as they smell it.""Oh, but what they don't know is that Raymond has no more money! I heard he only had a few hundred thousand for the startup, and the bronze sculpture must have cost most of it. I'm afraid those people won't even get their gas money and toll costs back after travel

Trippy rolled his eyes as he texted back: [Hell no. I need to start my business instead of wasting my time. You morons can come get a number yourself if you like. Haha!]Still, Trippy had just sent his text when a trio arrived in a hurry outside Treasure Measure.Seeing that the doors were closed, the leader asked Trippy, "Excuse me, can I ask if this is Treasure Measure? Owned by a man named Mr. Cole?"Trippy was at once surprised. "You mean Raymond Cole?"The leader quickly said, "We don't know his first name, only that his last name is Cole, and his handle name was Treasure Measure's Mr. Cole."Trippy chuckled. "That'd be him. Has to be, since he hand wrote that shop sign."Pausing, he then asked in curiosity, "So, you've come to see him being a sucker?"The leader was naturally curious as to what Trippy was talking about. However, he was also reluctant to reveal why he had come since there was a killer bargain at stake. In fact, every other collector who was coming was k

Raymond also added that the 20 million price tag wouldn't be cut or increased. To put it simply, the bronze sculpture was right there in Aurous Hill and waiting—it was a race.Hence, many reputable collectors contacted expert appraisers throughout the night, some even booking night flights straight to Aurous Hill.The best amongst them was a fanatic collector of bronze items in Eastcliff.Following a brief exchange with Raymond online, he immediately called an expert who was also a close friend. As soon as his call was answered, he asked the other man if he had time to travel to Aurous Hill so that no one else would beat them to it—and they would drive out in the night if at all possible.After all, the earliest flight was at six in the morning, and it'd be eight by the time they made it to Aurous Hill Airport and nine by the time they got to Antique Street in a cab.Therefore, the ideal way to get there was by driving over six hundred miles at top speed, and that meant reaching A

While Jacob was feeling delighted after pulling off his con, Raymond had posted details of the bronze sculpture online.The website he was using was the biggest platform for antique collectors and the antique trade where each user could set a favorite tag in the antique category and era. If a user who preferred canvas art pieces of the Tudor dynasty set that label as their favorite, they would immediately be notified with text or desktop notifications in regards to any item with the same label.As medieval bronze sculptures were rare in the first place, most who were interested had already set that label on their favorites and were immediately notified soon after Raymond posted pictures of the bronze sculpture online.The collectors were naturally eager to check it out as gilded sculptures of the medieval era were really rare, and most collectors would go a lifetime without picking one up for their collection.On top of that, the seller had even listed a major flaw and was only ask

"Nope," Jacob chuckled. "We were both working separately and just happened to get back in at the same time."Then, he immediately became smug and excited, "Guess what, dear? I made 200 thousand out of the deal! In net profits!""For real?!" Elaine gaped. "200 thousand in just one night?! That's amazing! How did you do that?"Claire was surprised to hear that too, and she came over to ask, "What deal was it, Dad?"Jacob grinned, "Oh, it's nothing to brag about. It's just that I managed to pick up a nice antique item thanks to my wisdom and then sold it for 200 thousand."Pausing, he then sighed in dismay, "However, the buyer wasn't too rich—I would have squeezed him for 400 thousand, but he couldn't afford more, so I had to settle for less."Elaine quickly exclaimed, "Shit, we're talking about a loss of 200 thousand! People would work a year and still never earn that much…"She trailed off for a moment before asking, "By the way, dear—are we still flying out first thing tomorrow?

Jacob laughed. "Put that issue behind us? Sure, but we're not becoming friends. Hell, I can't even hold a grudge now that you're shit out of luck."Then, his tone changed sharply and suddenly became icy, "But you see, Aurous Hill is not a place you can stay just because you want to. No… After this, you're not going to be able to make a living in the antique trade.""If I were you, I'd be running a thousand miles away, far away from Aurous Hill where no one would know my face to start over. That way, you just might be able to make a living."Raymond simply kept smiling, "You need not be concerned about how I'm going to survive here, Mr. Wilson. I'd be very grateful if you'd cease any form of harassment once you leave my premises."Jacob pursed his lips, staring at Raymond in disappointment. "I'm plenty magnanimous, so I won't stoop to such pettiness. Just do whatever you like!"Clicking his tongue, he huffed, "Tut, tut… And here I'd thought you're tough, but you're just yet another

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
