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

Five hours later.The sky was already turning bright.The faint colors of dawn began piercing through the Tokyo skies.A new day had begun. Many had just awoken from a deep slumber, but many too, didn’t get a wink’s worth of sleep. Last night, the entire Tokyo city had been turned upside down.All of the officers from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department had been dispatched, and they had even seconded a large number from several nearby cities. Not only did they search all over Tokyo, but they also barricaded all the roads leading out of Tokyo. Countless roadblocks were set up, where police conducted strict searches on each vehicle that was leaving the city. It was all because they needed to find the whereabouts of the Schulz siblings.Overnight, the entire Tokyo city fell into a state of emergency. Media houses had already been told that the eldest grandson and granddaughter of the most influential family in Oskia had been kidnapped in Tokyo. To add on to that buzz, more

The media would definitely cover this incident after 7 a.m., and it would certainly spread all over Japan when the news was broadcasted.If the police could not save them within 24 hours, the news would probably spread all over the world like wildfire, and not in a good way.At that time, it would be a scandal not only for the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department but for the whole of Japan!This kind of news would paint Japan’s image as an unsafe country, and no big shots would dare to come to Tokyo in the future if the law and order in Japan were in such disarray and the ruffians were so brutal and lawless.It was not only the wealthy and entrepreneurs who would not dare to come but also the dignitaries of various countries.To make matters worse, Tokyo was the capital of Japan! If the scandal were to spread around the world, it would certainly put the whole of Japan in a diplomatic crisis!Hence, the Superintendent General quickly checked with his subordinates, “Have the autops

“A truck? What’s going on?”The butler hurriedly added, “A man drove a truck to the villa’s entrance, saying that it bears a gift for you.”“Where is the man now?”“I heard it over the security intercom at the entrance, but when I came out, he left the truck there and was gone.”Machi shuddered in shock upon hearing this! What kind of person gave gifts in a truck? Did he literally just park the truck in front of the house and leave? Not to mention that he did all this at such a tense moment!At this thought, he asked nervously, “Have you opened it to see what’s inside?”The butler answered, “No, I haven’t opened it yet. I thought I would wait until you returned to decide.”Machi blurted, “Call the police! Call the police now! Maybe there’s a bomb in that truck!”The butler quickly replied, “Master, we have done the explosives and toxic substances inspections on the truck and found no abnormality.”“No abnormality?” Machi was slightly relieved upon hearing this.Generally spea

The butler immediately urged his two servants, “You two! Go and open the freezer door!”The two men quickly moved forward, one to the left and another to the right, to open the freezer door’s latch.Machi involuntarily took a few steps back as they were about to pull the door open.He was on edge today and felt that the world was letting out an air of peculiarity non-stop.As the freezer door opened, a white mist whistled out from inside.Tokyo was quite humid for the past few days, and the weather had warmed up a bit. Therefore, the outdoor temperature was about three or four degrees above zero at this time, but the temperature inside the refrigerated truck was below -20 degrees, so this kind of fog would be produced when the air was vaporized.The people stared as the fog gradually dissipated, slowly revealing the content of the freezer.When the fog completely dissipated and they looked inside, and everyone cried out in shock! There were four humanoid ice sculptures standing

Seeing that Machi was panicking, the inspector hurriedly said, “Please recall carefully whether you have offended anyone recently. Who would do this to you unless there is deep hatred?”Then, he reminded him, “Please think... is there anyone trying to kill you? Or are you trying to kill anyone?”The first person that came to Machi’s mind was Charlie, but he quickly dismissed the thought.After Aota’s mysterious disappearance, Masatetsu had received a message when he was eavesdropping on Charlie that the person who killed Aota was not Charlie, but another group of ninjas.At that time, Masatetsu presumed that it was the Koga ninjas loyal to the Ito family. However, he didn’t tell anyone in the police department about it because he thought that it was pointless. There was no direct evidence whatsoever, and it was a mere assumption from Masatetsu before he died.In his opinion, the Ito family was behind this, but in the police’s opinion, it could be the Koga ninjas. Nevertheless, it

Charlie raised his hand to dismiss the concern. “It’s fine. Don’t worry. I have some personal affairs to take care of, and I’ll be back when I’m done.”Isaac asked, “Is it in Osaka? Do you want me to arrange a convoy for you?”“It’s not necessary.” Charlie didn’t say exactly where he was going, and he didn’t intend to.For some unknown reason, he kept thinking about Nanako. It was perhaps out of sympathy, or admiration, or other indescribable emotions. He couldn’t figure it out, nor did he want to think about it.Right now, all he wanted to do was to go to Kyoto to visit Nanako personally and look at her injuries.No matter what, he could only return in peace after healing her.Seeing that Charlie did not want to share his whereabouts, Isaac did not insist but advised him to drive carefully. And if the snow got too heavy, to wait until it stopped before continuing to drive.Charlie agreed and then set off on his own.Osaka was very close to Kyoto; it was only about an hour’s dr

Just as Nanako looked up into the sky and thought about Charlie in her heart, Charlie, who was hiding on top of a wall, saw the beautiful silhouette in the courtyard below.He bypassed the Ito residence’s security and circled the residence halfway around its perimeter before seeing Nanako, whom he had been missing in his heart.Seeing Nanako wearing a kimono with a classic bun, he couldn’t help but sigh. “No wonder Nanako is the perfect role model of Yamato Nadeshiko. It is not an exaggeration at all. She is definitely the most beautiful and perfect Japanese woman I have ever seen.”However, the sight of Nanako sitting in a wheelchair was such an eye-sore that made him feel somewhat sorrowful.She could have sat out of the final match with Aurora, or admitted defeat early in the match, and withdraw herself from the competition, but she persevered to the end, which caused her to suffer great trauma.At this moment, Charlie wished he could just leap from the wall to meet her, but th

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

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
