The negotiation and discussion between Jaime, Sophie, and Yahiko ended in a very abrupt and unhappy manner.After the pair of siblings left Ito Holdings, Yahiko could only start cursing angrily on the spot.On the way back to the hotel, Jaime asked Sophie, “Sophie, I was planning to sway Yahiko so that I could convince him to agree to my proposal of agreeing to only a twenty percent stake in the shared profit-margin. Why were you so hostile to him?”The tip of Sophie’s lips curled into a sneer as she replied, “A twenty percent stake in the profit margin is lower than what he was willing to accept. So, no matter how much you try to talk to him and convince him today, he would certainly not be able to agree to this ratio. If you really want to force him, then you will have to put enough pressure on him.”Jaime asked, “Any good ideas?”Sophie replied, “Maybe you can call Machi and tell him that you plan to sign the collaboration and partnership contract with him tomorrow. You would h

Jaime replied excitedly, “He said that he is willing to consider our proposal and conditions. However, he hopes that we will still meet him in person to discuss this matter further. What do you think?”Sophie smiled in contentment.“I think that will not be an issue. You can return his call and tell him to come to our hotel to discuss early tomorrow morning. If our discussion goes well, then we will collaborate with him; if the discussion does not proceed smoothly, then we will just finalize the terms and conditions with Machi before signing the contract with him then.”“Alright!” Jaime replied enthusiastically, “I’ll give him a call now.”As soon as Jaime finished speaking, four ninjas dressed in black suddenly jumped down from the hotel corridor’s ceiling!Before Sophie and Jaime could even react, both of them had already been subdued by the other party.Sophie exclaimed in horror, “Who are you?!”One of the masked ninjas replied coldly, “Miss Schulz, I am Mr. Ito’s subordinat

The hotel management quickly discovered the anomaly.In fact, it was the guests staying on the floors beneath them who were the first to discover this problem. They noticed that two thick ropes were hanging outside the window, and they quickly informed the hotel’s front desk about this matter.The front desk employees trailed the two ropes’ source and found them hanging out of Sophie’s room.Upon realizing that her room was empty and turned upside down, the person in charge of the hotel immediately panicked.The Schulz siblings were not just their most distinguished guests, but the entire Schulz family was also one of Aman Hotel Group’s shareholders. Therefore, they could not afford to take this matter lightly.Immediately, they rushed to the Schulz entourage rooms, keen to find out the truth to get to the bottom of this matter.Unexpectedly, and much to their horror, all that they could find in each room were one corpse after the other.All of the subordinates and assistants wo

An hour later, two private jets took off from Eastcliff International Airport. Over a hundred Schulz family’s top combat masters were dispatched to Tokyo.A storm was already brewing beneath the tranquil city.When the police officers in Tokyo found out about the entire matter, they were shaken to their core, and it caused a considerable commotion. They knew that an incident, where more than a dozen were murdered and two kidnapped, was not only vicious but also would most likely be internationally newsworthy.The Tokyo police officers immediately cordoned off Aman Hotel Tokyo. The officers from the Criminal Investigation Department began combing through every inch of the hotel to search for any valuable clues or evidence that they could find.They first found the cell phone that Jaime had left behind in Sophie’s room and Jaime and Yahiko’s call history. It wasn’t long after that they stumbled upon the exclusive shuriken belonging to the Fujibayashi family’s ninja in one of the Sc

Charlie was out walking on the streets of Osaka.He did not allow Isaac and the others to follow him out this time.Charlie wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to directly eliminate the remaining three ninjas who were still tailing him.This was because Osaka was their last stop for their business itinerary, and he wanted to get rid of these three men tailing him as soon as possible so he could quickly visit Kyoto.He deliberately led Masatetsu and his juniors out of the downtown area as he prepared to look for a suitable place to begin the attack.However, he really did not expect the three men who had been tailing him quietly from about two to three hundred meters would suddenly turn around and retreat.Charlie could not help but wonder: ‘What is going on? Why aren’t they following me anymore? Are they aware of something?’‘That shouldn’t be right. I am all alone, and I showed no intention of attacking anyway. I have been acting as though I was completely ignorant o

He repeatedly nodded. “I will listen to everything you say. Please do not act so impulsively. This shuriken has been smeared with poison. I will be done for if the shuriken tears even just a little of my skin barrier…”…At the same time. Masatetsu and his second junior quickly packed all of their essential belongings before taking the elevator down to the hotel lobby.They could not even afford to waste a single second to check out of their hotel rooms. They could only think of getting into their car so that they could head back to Tokyo as soon as possible.However, after exiting the hotel, they realized that their car was not waiting for them here.Masatetsu cursed in frustration. “Damn it! Third junior, that bastard! Why is he still dilly-dallying? Call him now!!”Second junior took out his cell phone immediately to call third junior, cursing, “Third junior, what are you doing?! Why aren’t you out here yet?”Third junior acted under Charlie’s order as he said, “Second s

“I…I…cough…cough…cough…”Second junior’s face was turning a ghastly blue as he was being strangled.He wanted to say something, but he couldn’t bring himself to say anything at all, aside from the word, ‘I.’He looked at Charlie with frightened, pleading eyes as he was hoping that Charlie would leave him a way out.However, Charlie simply said indifferently, “I will not attack anyone unless they attack me first. The few of you have been tailing me all the way from Tokyo. You guys intend to kill me before I leave Japan. So, you think I’m going to just let you go?”When Masatetsu’s second junior heard this, he was filled with despair.Charlie continued nonchalantly, “Alright then, I’ll make your life short; it’ll be an easy and painless death.”His grip tightened. An eerie crackling sound could be heard from the other party’s neck, and within seconds, he lost his vitality completely.Charlie then stuffed the bodies of both the second and third juniors into the trunk to make it se

Charlie asked with a smile, “Aren’t you going to ask me how I found out your identity?”Masatetsu’s eyes were wide opened in shock as he stared at Charlie. “You…you knew about it all along?!” he asked in return.Charlie nodded and smiled. “Of course, I know about it!”“That is impossible!”“Why is it impossible? Blame it on your weak Japanese ninjas.”Masatetsu was in great shock. “Were you the one who killed my fourth junior?”Charlie nodded casually, and he replied, “That’s right. It was me.”“I also killed your second and third juniors. Their dead bodies are lying inside your car trunk now.”“You bastard!!” Masatetsu roared. Immediately after, a dagger suddenly fell out of his left sleeve and dropped right into his left palm.Masatetsu channeled all the strength he had onto his left hand, as he tried to stab Charlie with all of his might. Charlie simply smiled in amusement when he saw Masatetsu’s attempt. Charlie continued gripping Masatetsu’s right arm with one hand, w

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
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6481
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
