When Jack saw that Charlie was persistent to the end, he could only sneer as he instructed Zeke. “It seems as though some people are really tired of living. No matter what it is, I will teach him where he stands. Zeke, please get me a three-pillar sandalwood, a purple gold incense burner, and a peach wooden sword. I will show him what a true master is.”Zeke did not dare to react slowly. Therefore, he quickly prepared all the items that Jack asked for.After a short while, Jack placed the sandalwood into the incense burner. At this time, thick clear smoke from the incense filled the air.Mr. Yaleman raised the peach wooden sword before he started chanting immediately.At this time, Graham, who was standing next to him, suddenly felt very dizzy as though someone had just given him a few shots. He endured it for a short while before he pleaded, “Mr. Yaleman, how long will this last…”“The ‘yin’ energy in your family is very heavy right now. That is the reason why it might take som
Charlie replied coldly, “That is your lifeline. The reason why the evil spirit could be appeased so easily is because Jack is using your life as a trade-off! Within three days, this red line will extend all the way to your elbow! After that, you will drop dead immediately. Jack is using all the virtues and good deeds that you have accumulated in your lifetime, and he is sacrificing your life in exchange for the lives of the rest of the Quinton family members!”Graham was shocked when he heard Charlie’s words. He froze in place because he was utterly shocked.Adam was also panicking at this time as he looked at the people around them.All of the masters who were present nodded slightly as they witnessed this scene. Graham will not live for more than three days.Adam knelt on the ground before he begged Jack, “Mr. Yaleman! Please, please save my second uncle’s life!”At this time, Jack stared at Adam with an arrogant expression on his face as he sneered and said, “I have already use
In less than five minutes, all the fresh dishes on the table had already turned rotten and countless black mosquitoes started emerging from the rotten food.There was a rooster that the White family had raised ever since it was a chick in the White family courtyard.A few black mosquitoes flew to the rooster at a very fast speed. After less than ten seconds, the rooster started screaming as it flapped its wings frantically. After that, it fell to the ground and started convulsing until it dropped dead.Within a few seconds, many large black mosquitoes started emerging from the feathers of the dead rooster.At this time, the black mosquitoes were densely packed in the sky as they rushed towards the crowd of people like a whirlwind.It was very chaotic in the courtyard as the crowd of people tried desperately to avoid the black mosquitoes, as not only were the black mosquitoes extremely poisonous but they could also enter a person’s flesh through a wound on the skin.Even though th
“No, no! He, he is not human! He is a god!”“No, don’t let the lightning strike me! I will kneel down and apologize to Mr. Wade immediately.”“Help me. I was wrong!”A few of the guests got down on their knees as they started bowing in front of Charlie.Graham was frozen in place from shock.However, the lightning only struck the black mosquitoes, turning them into coal without hurting anyone at all.At this time, Jack was extremely shocked and terrified!He would never have imagined that Charlie would have such tremendous powers!He was only an ant compared to Charlie!If he was stuck by the ferocious lightning, he would definitely drop dead in seconds!Jack started panicking at this time. Therefore, he quickly got up before he scrambled to escape out of the courtyard. He wanted to escape from Aurous Hill and never come back to this place again! How could there be such a venerable person in Aurous Hill?“Are you trying to escape?”Charlie smiled as he stretched his hand to
Everyone had been fighting for the leadership position with their lives earlier but right now, all of them were eager for Charlie to lead the entire metaphysics circle in Aurous Hill and even the Newton area. None of the guests had any objections at all as they have all been completely convinced by Charlie’s skills.They have never seen anyone else like Charlie who could command heavenly thunder and lightning with just one word!This was indeed the realm of metaphysics. Charlie had supernatural power beyond everyone’s imagination!When they looked at Jack, who was lying on the ground after being scorched by lightning, they knew that Charlie’s powers and strength were unfathomable. Therefore, they wanted Charlie to be their leader so he could lead and give them the best advice and guidance.Charlie frowned before he said, “I am not a member of the metaphysics circle and I do not usually study Feng Shui. I am also not really interested in metaphysics. Therefore, I hope you’ll allow F
Zeke was overjoyed and he clasped his hands together as he thanked Charlie. “Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Wade. I will definitely reflect on myself and I promise this will never happen again!”“Okay.” Charlie nodded in satisfaction.After that, Charlie looked at Graham who was still in shock at this time.Charlie asked him in a faint manner, “So, Graham, tell me. Did you really think that I lied to you so that I could cheat the Quinton family of your money?”Graham’s legs softened immediately and he knelt down before he said, “I dare not! I wouldn’t dare to! I was just confused for a moment but I’ve never lost confidence in you, Mr. Wade. I am now completely convinced that you are the true master in the metaphysics circle! Please forgive me, Mr. Wade!”After he spoke, Graham grabbed Adam by his collar before he yelled, “A*shole! Kneel down and apologize to Mr. Wade now!”Adam was already trembling in fear at this time. As soon as Graham yelled at him, Adam knelt down before C
Charlie left the White family mansion as everyone continued staring at him in awe.Jasmine could not stop herself from staring at him from time to time as she sent him home.At this time, Charlie had already turned into the same ordinary person that he had always been. He no longer looked like the powerful and strong man that he looked like earlier.Jasmine could not stop herself from feeling a little suspicious at this time.When Charlie was in the courtyard earlier, he exuded a very superior and mysterious aura.However, the Charlie who was sitting in the passenger seat next to her looked like an ordinary passer-by.Jasmine did not know whether this was intentional or whether it was just an illusion.Therefore, Jasmine could not help but asked, “Charlie…were you really the one who summoned the thunder and lightning just now?”Charlie looked at her before he smiled.“Why don’t you make a guess? Will you believe me if I told you that it was just a mere coincidence?”At this t
However, Charlie did not want to say anything about the villa he was about to receive because of Elaine’s current attitude.As Charlie was busy in the kitchen, Claire walked over to him before she said in a low voice, “Charlie, please don’t take my mother’s words to heart. She is just too vain and idealistic.”Charlie deliberately asked, “What did your mother say? I didn’t hear anything at all.”“Alright then, you can continue pretending. It would really be strange if you truly didn’t hear anything at all,” Claire replied as she poke Charlie’s forehead with her finger.Charlie took advantage of this opportunity to hold Claire’s hand at this time.Claire started blushing immediately and she looked around the kitchen before she retracted her hand immediately.However, Charlie refused to let go of her hand. Instead, he brought his hand closer to him as he took a closer look at her hand. Charlie smiled when he saw that Claire was wearing the bracelet that he made her. After that, he
Jacob zipped toward Raymond, his attitude immediately subservient, "I'm sure you've seen what Zachary Evans posted on his Twitter page, and to be honest, it's so terrible that my position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association has been affected too. I mean, you've made a lot of money, right?"Hell, even if you donated ten million, you'd still have another ten million and 970 thousand in net profits. So, all I'd like to ask is for you to post something to disclaim Zachary's post.Jacob's words left Raymond in thought.For Jacob, just being suspected of fraud would definitely be terrible. In fact, his position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association would definitely be threatened—if not dismissed altogether—if he wasn't cleared of suspicion.Since Jacob was Charlie Wade's father-in-law, Raymond had reason not to drive Jacob over the brink.But that also begged another question—it must be under Charlie's intention for Zachary to post his confession, and that meant Charlie in
Raymond couldn't help chuckling just as Jacob finished—he had honestly never heard of anyone who demanded a refund after donating to charity, but he was certainly seeing one now.Still, the receptionist was clearly experienced and slowly explained, "Sir, it's a legal clause of the country that all donations for philanthropy purposes can not be refunded under most circumstances—""It truly was a mistake," Jacob quickly said, cutting the receptionist off. "I was going to donate thirty thousand but pressed an extra zero by mistake. Please discuss this with your management—you just have to refund 27 thousand, see?""Sorry, sir," the receptionist apologized. "But it's a strict rule that we ourselves do not get to access the funds that have been donated into our accounts. Every donation will be screened extensively, and if you consider that there was a major oversight on your part, you may seek legal counsel to appeal for a refund. If the courts back your appeal, our organization will the
Nonetheless, Jacob darted into Treasure Measure and plucked off his mask, asking nervously, "Excuse me, Mr. Cole? It's me… Jacob Wilson…"Raymond looked up, pausing for a moment before acting as if he was actually curious, "Mr. Wilson! What brings you here? Don't tell me—you want that bronze sculpture back too?""No, no, no…" Jacob quickly shook his head. "I would never… I returned all the way from Dubai to apologize!""Apologize?" Raymond smiled faintly, and he did not play dumb this time as he asked bluntly, "Did you come back because of Zachary Evan's post?"Knowing he couldn't deny it any longer, Jacob nodded, "Yeah…"Raymond nodded and said calmly, "That's unnecessary. I was the one who benefited in the end."Jacob wasn't quite keeping up—thinking that Raymond was just trying to be nice by telling him he didn't have to apologize, he quickly pulled out his phone.Tapping on it and bringing up his transaction records, he handed it to Raymond reverently, "Mr. Cole, I understan
The cabbie chuckled. "You're a local yet you're heading to Antique Street right away as soon as you land instead of going home? And you're still saying you're not trying to pick up a killer bargain deal?"Come on, man—it's not just you, I want that too. We cabbies work ourselves to death only for ten thousand per month at best while our friend over there made twenty million in one night. I could keep driving cabs for the rest of my life and still not make that much money."Jacob knew that the cabbie must be talking about Raymond and became even more miserable then, grumbling unhappily, "I'm going to Antique Street for business—I'm not trying to pick up some missed bargain.""No? Then you didn't hear what happened yesterday?"The cabbie was immediately curious, and without waiting for Jacob's answer, he exclaimed happily, "Look, man—it was so ridiculous not even Hollywood would put it in their script. There were these fools who were trying to sell an antique trader a replica, but th
It was nighttime in Dubai as Jacob dragged his weary body from the hotel back to the airport.As he was flying economy this time, he was left sitting at the hard bench near the boarding terminal, waiting for it to open.While he waited, his heart was torn as he tapped into the website of the Aurous Hill Charity Fund, found their donation account, and wired the entire 300 thousand he had made over to them.He had picked the Aurous Hill Charity Fund because the circles of antique collectors in Aurous Hill were all discussing how Raymond had donated half of the 20 million he had made to that same charity fund.After Raymond skyrocketed to prominence in Antique Street and became a star, it could not be denied that people admired his profound ability.However, there were also people who envied his skill in turning the tables just as there were those who were jealous he had made twenty million in a single night.Still, Raymond moved fast—soon after word spread that he had made twenty m
Elaine quickly asked, "Well, what if you can't get it done?"Jacob was apprehensive even as he sighed. "If they really pressed the issue, guess I can't even stay at the Calligraphy and Painting Association now… We will see. If things get bad, I'll just resign. I won't ask for much right now, just as long as I don't have to go to jail."Elaine nodded. "Then you should try to reason things out with Raymond Cole or ask for Charlie's help if push comes to shove. Being humiliated is still better than prison.""Okay!"-It was nighttime at Aurous Hill by the time Elaine and Jacob arrived at their hotel.Charlie and Claire had just had dinner, and Claire pulled out her phone, saying, "I just checked my flight app, and it says my parents should have landed two hours ago. They are probably at the hotel, so I'll check in on them with a video call."She had yet to open her WhatsApp when Elaine called her on a video call.Jacob was planning to check in with Claire and Charlie to put their
Hearing what Jacob had said, Elaine became anxious and pressed him as he hung up, "What's going on? You're leaving? But we just got here! My shoes have just caught Dubai dirt, so why are we leaving so soon—"However, Jacob was wiping the sweat off his brow as he mumbled quietly, "Well, at this point, I have to leave or I won't be vice president anymore."Elaine immediately fumed. "We've been married for half our lives, and this is supposed to be our honeymoon, yet we're just leaving? I've posted about this on social media too—there are plenty of people who're waiting for more posts on our trip!"And don't forget—we spent a lot on our flight tickets and our hotels! The hotel bookings can't be refunded either!"Jacob scowled dolefully. "Well, what can we do? Why don't you stay? I'll go home and get this sorted out first….""Well, how long would that take?" Elaine asked."How should I know?" Jacob sighed, uneasy and annoyed. "Don Albert is saying I have to go back and donate the 300
"But I spent 98 thousand on that bronze sculpture!" Jacob exclaimed in agitation before he knew it. "I made 300 thousand from it, and that means my profit was 200 thousand at best, but I'm supposed to return that to him as well?! That means I'd have lost my own capital too!""I can't help you if you can't bear to part with that money, Mr. Wilson," Don Albert said quietly. "In that case, you'll just have to handle it yourself.""Wait, wait, wait!" Jacob immediately became antsy and cried out right then, "Please, Don Albert! I'll return the money! I'll return it, alright?! The entirety of my profits—202 thousand, okay? At least let me keep the money I spent, okay?""By that reasoning, Mr. Wilson, when a phone scammer is told by the cops to return the money they've made from defrauding, should he be allowed to keep the money he spent on telco charges? ""Oh, I…" Jacob was left stumped and could not come up with an answer.Don Albert then pressed on, "Mr. Wilson, I've offered a prom
"Mr. Wilson, what you boys did was truly heinous!" Don Arnold growled. "I scolded Zachary myself when I found out, and I was the one who told him to post that statement!"Jacob was shocked. "But why, Don Arnold? Are you friends with Raymond Cole?""Never met the guy," Don Arnold replied.That left Jacob even more confused. "Then why are you taking his side?""I've been doing my best to clean up my image over the past couple of years," Don Albert replied coolly. "I rarely get involved in mob business or anything illicit, and everyone in Aurous Hill knows that Zachary is my right-hand man, yet he confessed to committing such a heinous crime behind my back. What is that if not sullying my reputation?"Jacob was left reeling as he didn't expect Don Albert to be so serious, but he quickly explained, "I'm sorry. I didn't expect it to affect you so terribly… It's all Zachary's fault! I wouldn't have been aware that Raymond had returned at all, but he just had to tell me and come up with
