Charlie gladly agreed. Soon, the salesperson called another girl over. “Sayu, this VIP wants to see the bracelet. Please recommend something to him.”When the girl named Sayu learned that Charlie was a generous tycoon, she donned a broad smile and cheerily exclaimed, “Sir, please follow me.”Nanako hurriedly asked, “Charlie-kun, do you need me to try on the bracelet for you?”Charlie smiled. “I intend to buy one for my mother-in-law. She’s a bit on the chubbier side, so there is no need to trouble you.”Nanako replied with a smile, “Right, then you go ahead. I would like to see the ring, is that okay?”Charlie nodded. “Sure. I’ll be over there to look at the bracelets.”Nanako smiled sweetly. “Okay!”Only when Charlie went to the bracelet section did Nanako whisper to the salesperson responsible of the rings section, “Excuse me, the ring I tried on just now, is it still in stock?”The salesperson nodded gently and said, “Yes. We have three of these rings. Two were sold, and the

After leaving Tiffany’s, Nanako accompanied Charlie to shop at Ginza’s major stores.For the sake of it, and to be fair, Charlie bought a high-end Boss suit for Jacob, his father-in-law.Ever since Jacob’s appointment as the executive director for the Calligraphy and Painting Association, he spent most of his time there and had become its second-best person, earning himself an honorable reputation in the association.Moreover, the association he was in now had a lot of cultural collaboration with the Senior University that Matilda was at, so Jacob could suit up a little to make himself look more charismatic and dignified.Besides, Charlie also bought a few other smaller accessories and souvenirs.At 3.30 pm, there was still about two hours before Charlie’s flight to Osaka. Considering that the Tokyo Airport was quite a distance from the city, Charlie said, “Nanako, it’s almost time for me to go to the airport.”Without hesitation, Nanako replied, “Charlie-kun, I’ll see you off!”

When Nanako was deep in her thought, Charlie had already driven his car to the airport.After parking, he got out of the car with Nanako and bent down to put the car keys on top of the vehicle’s front tires.Nanako asked in surprise, “Charlie-kun, what are you doing?”Charlie answered with a smile, “I’m leaving the keys here for my friend. Otherwise, the key would have to follow me back to Oskia.”Nanako asked doubtfully, “Won’t it be lost? If someone finds out, won’t they be able to drive the car away?”Charlie laughed. “No one will notice it. Besides, there are so many cars here. Who would bend down to check each of these cars’ front tires anyway?”He then added, “I’ll inform the owner where I’ve put the key so that he can come and drive the car whenever it’s convenient for him.”Nanako smiled and nodded, “You’re so smart, Charlie-kun. I would’ve never thought of this idea in my life.”Charlie chuckled. “I just wanted to save some money. If I were to bring it back to Oskia an

At that point in time, Tokyo Airport had stepped up inspections of the departure hall to track down the murderer of Matsumoto Yoshito and his family. Still, there was no way to perform strict control on all passengers due to the lack of workforce.Although Rosalie was holding an Oskian passport, the staff did not report to his superior as she was heading to Osaka and not leaving Japan.The staff silently recited Rosalie’s name several times over, thinking to himself that the name sounded extremely pleasant, but he couldn’t quite explain why.Seeing the staff holding her passport and freezing for a moment, the first thought that crossed Rosalie’s mind was that her identity had been exposed. However, she quickly dismissed the implausible thought.First, the Tokyo Police Department knew that the exterminated Matsumoto’s family was a high-skilled martial artist from Oskia. Still, they didn’t know anything beyond that. They didn’t even know the name of the murderer.Moreover, Japan was

Back then, Nanako insisted on competing with Aurora, whose strength had improved significantly thanks to Charlie’s Rejuvenating Pill.In the end, Aurora had seriously injured Nanako in the ring, which eventually became a thorn that pieced Charlie’s heart.On the one hand, he felt sorry for Nanako, but on the other, he appreciated her zeal for never saying no and her courage to tread uncharted waters.In addition to that, he felt a certain degree of shame for her because he single-handedly pushed Aurora from a level far below her to a level far beyond Nanako’s.Now that he had cured her, the thorn was removed, and he no longer felt the disturbing stab in his heart.He saved her life and made her strength improve by a large margin, so the guilt was also redeemed.With both the heartache and guilt finally being washed away, what remained was more of an appreciation for Nanako.He smiled at her heartily and full of ease. “In that case, I’ll head off first!”“Okay!” Nanako nodded.

Charlie first felt the soft, tender touch of Nanako’s lips, and then a slightly salty, bitter taste in his mouth.He knew very well that these were the taste of Nanako’s tears. At this moment, he felt an unceasing affection for her but also one of helplessness.Their lips parted softly a few seconds later. Nanako looked up at Charlie with reddened eyes and sobbed, “Charlie-kun, please don’t ever forget me…”Charlie nodded, gently replying with earnest, “I won’t. Don’t worry.”“If you ever need my help in the future, please just let me know!” replied Nanako solemnly.Charlie nodded. “I will; the same goes for you!”Nanako broke into a smile amid the stream of tears. “You better get going now, or you’ll miss the flight!”Charlie looked at her with a longing and soulful gaze, softly bidding the girl a final farewell. “Goodbye, Nanako. We shall meet again someday.”“Alright. Goodbye, Charlie-kun.”This time, Charlie turned around and never looked back.He didn’t want to see a tea

The ring was of the same style, and even its size was a perfect match.As soon as Nanako saw the ring, she burst with unexplainable joy, as if it was Charlie who had personally given her the ring.Seeing Nanako’s delight, Kawana Kurenai asked in bewilderment, “Miss, why would you be so interested in a brand like Tiffany? It is a very ordinary brand, and the ring is rather cheap. Their diamonds are like grains of sand…”Kurenai was right. A diamond ring worth one million dollars or less was, frankly speaking, for the averagely wealthy family. The real tycoons didn’t even bother wearing such rings.Ultra-wealthy tycoons of the East and West owned diamonds with the highest purity, ones that were precisely cut, and so clear, they could easily fetch ten million apiece.Those who were really wealthy would buy raw, precious diamonds and customize them into rings, the reason why it wasn’t rare that such rings were worth more than ten million.The rich Oskians had a wide preference wh

Rosalie’s original withdrawal plan was to ask her gang to spread themselves and then gather in Osaka. A private airplane would then be transferred from Raventon to Osaka and bring everyone back to Eastcliff.Nevertheless, if the Tokyo metropolitan police officers could not arrest her and the other assassins from the Schulz family, they might investigate all the previous exit records from the country. Any airplanes flown from Osaka to Eastcliff would surely become the suspicious target of the police officers.Therefore, Rosalie had decided that everyone should depart from Osaka to Raventon.The Japanese had the right to investigate all information regarding its flights from the country. Theoretically speaking, all flights which have departed from Japan could be investigated by the Japanese officers.Therefore, if everyone were to reach Raventon first and then transfer from Raventon to Eastcliff, that would no longer be related to Japan. With that, the Japanese would lose its trail.Logi

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
