At that time, she had been extremely nervous in front of Charlie.As she had been bewildered and at a loss for what to do, she had handed Charlie the cup of milk tea that she was holding in her hand. She had even told him that she wanted to give him the milk tea. However, she truly did not expect Charlie to actually take the cup of milk tea from her before taking a sip of the drinks.Moreover, Nanako had just been using that straw before Charlie took over the cup of milk tea, and he had drunk using the same straw. That kind of indirect kissing was the most ambiguous thing that Nanako had ever done with a man in her lifetime.Nanako had also been constantly thinking of that indirect kiss ever since that day. As she thought about Charlie, she subconsciously raised her slender finger as she began writing Charlie’s name on the surface of the water.There were soft waves and ripples on the surface of the water, but the water did not retain any traces of anything that she wrote on it.

Because of his young age and because he had always been favored and pampered at home, Zeno had always had a strong desire to prove himself.However, he used to only show off and prove himself in front of his parents, and he never had the opportunity to show off in front of his grandfather before. He finally decided to seize and take advantage of this opportunity today. He was thinking of discussing and debating his grandfather’s idea and proposal with him so that he would have the opportunity to show off his extraordinary talents and wisdom. Zeno never expected that he would make Lord Schulz angry just because of what he had said.He was about to open his mouth to explain himself, but before he could even do so, his father, Stefan, had already stood up. Stefan raised his hands and gave Zeno a few tight slaps across his face, left and right in turns. Stefan slapped his son until the corners of his mouth were filled with blood. Then, he roared in extreme anger, “What is the point of yo

When Sheldon heard the old man announce that Jaime and Sophie would be heading to Japan together, he had a rather triumphant look on his face.In his opinion, Lord Schulz had already handed such an important matter to both his son and daughter. Thus, this was proof and evidence that he was the eldest son whom his father trusted the most.The other children could not help but feel envious and jealous at this time.They had no opinions at all if Lord Schulz wanted to train Jaime. After all, Jaime was the eldest grandson of the family. If this was back in the ancient days, this would naturally mean that Jaime was the crown prince because of his status. No matter how strong and capable the other princes were, they would have to bow down and lower their heads when they saw the eldest grandson.However, Jaime was going on this trip to gain more experience and knowledge, and they felt that Lord Schulz was simply being too bias for asking Jaime to bring Sophie along with him!Under any no

It was obvious that Lord Schulz had incomparable love and affection for Sophie.It was also precisely because of this that all of the talented and young men in Eastcliff were filled with desire for Sophie.After all, if they could win Sophie over, they would not be simply winning over the heart of a beautiful and glamorous young girl or an excellent student who received the best and most prestigious education. No, this was also equivalent to winning over the entire Schulz family!Someone had even joked and said that whoever ended up marrying Sophie would be able to obtain huge wealth worth up to trillions of dollars.Therefore, Sophie also had a nickname that had been passed on through word of mouth amongst the big and prestigious families across the country. This nickname was really simple and crude, and she was known as Trillion Schulz.After Lord Schulz announced his decision, he told his eldest son, “Sheldon, you should hurry up and hold a discussion with Jaime and Sophie to c

As she was faced with her father and brother’s question, Sophie replied calmly, “First of all, although the Ito family has very strong resources and capabilities in Tokyo and even though they also have great strength in Osaka and Nagoya, the top port and harbour in Japan is actually the Yokohama Port which is next to Tokyo.”“Although the Takahashi family might be slightly inferior to the Ito family in Tokyo, they are still very strong and capable in Yokohama. It could be said that Yokohama is the base camp of the Takahashi family.”“Secondly, the Ito family is actually facing some trouble now. The eldest young lady of the Ito family was seriously injured during an international combat and fighting competition in Aurous Hill some time ago. She is currently recuperating and resting to regain her health and physical condition. Ito Yahiko loves his daughter very much, so her physical condition would more or less prove to be a distraction to him. As long as a person is unable to concentr

Sheldon, who was standing aside frowned before he asked him, “Jaime, are you interested in the eldest young lady from the Golding family?”“No, dad…” Jaime hurriedly waved his hand and said, “I just sincerely admire her.”Sheldon nodded before he paused for a moment and said, “The eldest young lady of the Golding family is actually pretty good. If you truly like her, I certainly will not have any objections at all. I am just afraid that your grandfather will look down on the Golding family…”When Jaime heard this, he was overjoyed. He blurted out immediately, “Dad, will you really not have any objections on this matter at all?”Sophie blurted out, “Brother, are you really that dense? Can’t you tell that dad is simply trying to get you to reveal the truth?”“Ahh?!” Jaime started panicking before he hurriedly looked at Sheldon and asked, “Dad, what did you actually mean?”Sheldon sighed as he said seriously, “Jaime, you are truly not as smart as your sister!”Jaime suddenly felt v

Sophie’s words made Sheldon very angry.He pointed at Sophie before he said angrily, “You should only say this kind of thing at home. Just wait and see if your grandfather is going to scold you if you say something like that in public!”Sophie took out her cell phone before she smiled and said, “Why don’t I give Grandpa a call now and personally tell grandpa about this matter, then?”“Are you kidding me?!” Sheldon hurriedly said, “Alright, that’s enough. I am not going to continue talking nonsense with you. Nothing has happened yet, anyway. Both of you should hurry up and do your research for your trip to Japan so that you can set off as soon as possible!”Jaime hurriedly said, “Why don’t we do this, then? We will handle this matter according to Sophie’s plan. We will meet up with the Takahashi family first before we meet with the Ito family. As for the departure time, I think that it will be best for us to leave as soon as possible. I will ask the crew to make all the necessary pr

"Alright!" Trippy was at once fawning, tagging along behind Raymond like a little child.Around thirty people were waiting in front of Treasure Measure by now. The collectors came in twos or threes, and all ten numbers had since been taken.Before Raymond arrived, he had a brief look at the collectors' faces through the security cameras before walking over, and he was really relieved to see no familiar faces.Having traded Oskian antiques for years abroad, it was only natural that he was acquainted with some of the elite collectors in the country.He also knew that they were especially demanding with the quality of their collection and wanted almost flawless items. As such, the bronze sculpture which had been completely lost wouldn't interest them.Still, he was also a little concerned that amongst the elite collectors he knew, there might be some who were losing money and losing purchasing power in turn. If they happened to take an interest in the bronze sculpture on top of that,

Trippy grinned. "I mean, just look at my stall—ain't no way I'm getting any business here. Why not let me check out this item of yours? And see how interested they are? I'm really interested in learning and upping my game."Then, as if worried that Raymond would refuse, he quickly added, "Don't worry—I promise to stay in a corner and just watch."Still, Raymond could guess right then that someone must have sent Trippy to spy on him.It didn't matter whether it was Mick, Jacob, or Zachary either—they were all in this plot together, and one knowing meant all three knowing.Trippy was a gossiper in nature. If he was allowed to witness the whole process, everyone down Antique Street would definitely know before long.In fact, he could use someone like that right now, and Trippy had come straight to his doorstep.With that in mind, Raymond smiled, "Come join me if you're interested. It's not like there's anything to hide…"Pausing, he then warned Trippy, "But since you're going in my

After watching Mick's video, Jasmine's opinion of the man improved considerably.She was actually well aware that the decline of Vintage Deluxe was mostly due to Mick's incompetence.However, as Jasmine was now managing a billion-dollar company, she couldn't spare any time to ask many questions about Vintage Deluxe's performance. In her opinion, as long as Vintage Deluxe didn't lose too much money or ruin the reputation they had worked so hard to build, she wasn't interested in a regime change.It was the same mindset as Marianne Long, who begged her father to keep that lane full of food stalls in Hong Kong over sentiment.As such, seeing that Mick actually had some skill pleased her considerably.She couldn't resist checking out the comments of the video too.She saw that many were praising the manager of Vintage Deluxe for taking a tough stand against the scammer as well as how Vintage Deluxe's reputation was long-standing and without comparison.She soon noticed Jacob's comme

Soon, more collectors had gathered outside Treasure Measure even before Raymond showed up at Antique Street, with over ten of them gathered outside in no time at all.Since Raymond had only prepared ten slips, the rest left in disappointment seeing that they had no chance.Even so, the ten collectors who had gotten a number were nervous—save for the first man who had arrived.The details on the online sales post insisted that the price was fixed, and that first-come first-serve applies.If he bought the bronze sculpture, the other nine would have come all this way for nothing.However, if the seller decided to make it an auction, they would have a chance too, although their net profit would thin in turn. After all, they could have acquired the bronze sculpture for just 20 million, and that meant a solid 8 million in profit.An auction would at least raise the price to 27 million, and more would make it chicken feed.If they gave up at that point, it was a waste of a trip.If

Trippy naturally wasn't going to tell Mick everything word-for-word, so he said vaguely, "Uh, they were just being stubborn and refused to listen to anything I said. They kept saying that they wouldn't know until they saw the actual item."Mick got out of bed, staring at his phone as he mused to himself.This was getting a little ridiculous, was it not? A fool who was scammed, actually able to scam someone else? But if he really could sell it, wouldn't all their work be for nothing?With that in mind, he promptly called Zachary, who wasn't even up yet.Ever since he had started working for Don Albert, his daily routine was no longer the same as the days when he was a humble stall owner working on Antique Street, but a man of importance who slept late and woke up late.In the evening, he would be spending his time patrolling Don Albert's night entertainment properties as well as holding meetings with subordinates to decide on management policies and the like. That was why he wo

Seeing that Mick had a favor to ask, Trippy was naturally eager to seize the opportunity to get in his good graces."Don't worry, Mr. Crane!" He promptly replied. "Just leave it to me!"Returning to Treasure Measure, he went up to the first man who had come and said, "Hey, brother… Did you come to buy the bronze sculpture from Mr. Cole?"The man asked warily, "You know about the bronze sculpture?""Of course!" Trippy grinned. "I know all too well—it's actually famous here in Aurous Hill."Whipping out his phone, he played the short video that Mick had spent five grand promoting, saying, "Here—check this out!"Curious, the man took the phone and watched the video solemnly.The other latecomer soon hurried over as well and stared fixedly at the screen too.They watched as Bill entered a room with the bronze sculpture with Mick, the latter who checked it out and started commenting on it.The first man exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, it really is that bronze sculpture."The second ma

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
