At this moment, the helicopter engine slowly started and then accelerated continuously, and soon, it began to slowly take off.Reuben thought, ‘Well, I might as well take this chance to see what the view of Tokyo is like from the sky.’As he was thinking of this, he heard the woman’s voice in his headset as she said, “No. 2 and No. 3, take off. No. 4 and No. 5, start your engines. No. 6 and No. 7, start preparing!”Puzzled, Reuben thought to himself, ‘What the hell? What’s with No. 2, 3, 4, and 5? What is she talking about?’As he was in puzzlement, his assistant who was sitting next to him pointed to the roofs of two other buildings on both sides of the window and said in surprise, “Mr. Moore, two helicopters are flying on the roofs of those two buildings, and they are exactly the same as the one we’re sitting on!”Reuben turned to look, and it was true!There were two identical helicopters on the left and right sides taking off simultaneously and synchronously.Those two helic

As Reuben watched the helicopters take off in fours, the fleet quickly expanded to nearly twenty helicopters, which made him feel bewildered and shocked!Unable to comprehend the current situation, he thought to himself, ‘What the hell is this?! Are twenty helicopters truly necessary just for a fifteen-kilometer journey?! This is unbelievable!’‘Besides, who is Charlie’s friend in Tokyo anyway? Renting twenty helicopters requires a lot of money! Why are they so wasteful?!’Tokyo citizens were also stunned by the convoy of helicopters howling in the sky at this moment. They all stopped and looked up, wondering if something big had happened or what kind of big shot had visited the city.Reuben started to feel uneasy and jittery as he couldn’t figure out Charlie’s motive.Although he was not close to Charlie, nor were they friends, they could regard each other as acquaintances. If they wanted to meet, they could set a time and venue to meet. Why did Charlie have to do all this?!At

Reuben now realized that Charlie seemed to have extraordinary connections here in Japan!The helicopter landed on the lawn of the Ito residence’s backyard.As soon as the helicopter had landed, twenty men in black immediately ran over neatly and lined up formidably on both sides of the hatch.At this moment, the beautiful woman inside the helicopter opened the hatch wide and took the lead to jump down before saying to Reuben, “Mr. Moore, this way please!”Reuben swallowed nervously. His heart was drumming nervously as he stepped down from the helicopter in apprehension.The woman said, “Mr. Moore, please follow me. Mr. Wade and our Young Miss are already waiting for you in the lounge.”Reuben hurriedly asked with a humble tone, “May I know who exactly is your Young Miss?”The woman answered with a smile, “When you meet her later, she will definitely tell you herself in regards to her identity.”Reuben managed an indifferent smile, but in fact, he was so panicked that his heart

Reuben felt that his views on life, values, and worldview had been completely turned upside down in an instant!He never would have guessed that Charlie would know the young miss of the Ito family!What was even more frightening was that Miss Ito was wearing a kimono, kneeling opposite Charlie, and respectfully serving him tea like a waitress.This was simply unbelievable!Reuben wailed internally in despair as he stared at the scene in disbelief. ‘What the hell is this? Do the Japanese believe in Feng Shui and metaphysics too? How else could Charlie have fooled Ito Nanako, then?!’Just when his mind was overwhelmed with shock and bewilderment, Charlie waved at him with a wide grin as if he had seen his friend’s son and said, “Hey, Reuben, come quick! Come and have a seat.”Reuben was even more puzzled when he looked at Charlie’s calm demeanor and thought to himself, ‘He and Jasmine are quite close, but why is he so calm after Jasmine has gone missing for so long? He’s already

Having a guilty conscience, Reuben hastily lowered his head and said in a pretentiously respectful tone, “The Police Department has sent many people to search for her in Nishitama District, but they haven’t found her whereabouts yet.”With that, he hurriedly added, “However, they are increasing the manpower and police force to expand the search area. I hope they can find valuable clues as soon as possible, and of course, it’s best to find where Jasmine is in the fastest way possible.”Charlie waved his hand and said flatly, “No, that’s not what I’m asking. I want to know whether the Tokyo Police Department has given a verdict or an assumption on this incident as accidental or intentional homicide.”When Reuben heard the word “intentional homicide”, it sent chills down his spine, and his heart skipped a beat in panic. He felt cold sweat starting to seep out from his back, but fortunately, he was wearing a jacket, so it was unnoticeable.In fact, the police department had a clear dir

When Nanako announced her determination to Charlie, Reuben immediately started to make plans to secretly leave Japan as soon as possible.He knew that as long as the Ito family intervened, it would not take long for him to be exposed, and if he was still in Japan at the moment of the revelation, he would not stand a chance to return to Oskia alive, because he knew very well that Charlie would not let him go!The only way out right now was to leave Japan before he was exposed and return to Oskia to wipe out Lord Moore and take over the entire Moore family.If he could take over all of the Moore family’s assets, he could start a proper battle with Charlie. After all, the Moore family’s assets were worth one to two hundred billion dollars—a so-called Master Wade would not be able to withstand their power and influence!Charlie looked at Reuben, who was donning a somewhat fidgety look, and asked deliberately, “Reuben, why do you look like you are in a daze? Are you okay?”Reuben quick

As soon as Reuben had left, Nanako hurriedly said, “Charlie-kun, you’re right! After meeting him, I also feel that there is something wrong with Reuben!”Charlie said coldly, “Anyone who is weak-minded and has a guilty conscience will definitely reveal themselves unintentionally no matter how mentally strong they are. Reuben obviously became very nervous after seeing you because he fears the Ito family’s power and ability. He knows that once the Ito family intervenes, we will find out about the truth of this matter, so he must be very scared at the moment.”With that, Charlie added, “I think he will probably try to escape before we expose the incident. You must let your ninjas closely monitor him. We can not let him escape!”Nanako nodded and said, “Don’t worry, Charlie-kun. I’ve made all the arrangements. Just now, when Reuben came over, my ninjas had already rushed to the hotel. They will be at the hotel around the clock to monitor Reuben!”Charlie smiled in satisfaction and said

When Tyler learned that the Ito family was going to help Charlie search for Jasmine and investigate the incident, he was scared out of his wits even though he was 2000 kilometers away.There was no perfect crime in this world. When they planned to kill Jasmine, all they had thought of was to leave all the clues and trails in Japan so that everyone would think that Jasmine had perished in Japan and that they had nothing to do with it.However, once it was known that they were related to Jasmine’s death or even found out that they were the masterminds behind it, it would be a big problem.Not only would they have to face the wrath of Lord Moore, but the domestic law enforcement agencies would not let them go so easily either. Although the crime had been committed abroad, the victim was an Oskian, and the local laws could be applied to arrest and charge them.Moreover, once people knew that it was them who had murdered Jasmine, their reputation and that of the entire Moore family woul

There were those in Antique Street who made their living from swindling the average Joe while others swindled antique traders.In fact, it was already cliche for them to trick antique traders with forgeries, and it was not surprising that someone had tried their luck on the opening day of Raymond's shop.As such, it was strange that he had just started today without any hype or even a proper shop sign, but someone was already after him.That told him that he was being targeted, and Raymond was putting his money on Zachary.The sole reason for that was how Zachary had come earlier to ask Raymond about how much capital he had, and he had humbly said a few hundred thousand.The fact that Billy had come and immediately demanded 500 thousand made even more sense—he wanted to siphon all of Raymond's capital.Even losing money wasn't the worst part—the worst was being labeled as an amateur.When that happened, customers who wanted the good stuff wouldn't come to him, and he would find

Just as Jacob was celebrating fooling Raymond, getting his revenge, and earning 200 thousand on top of that, Charlie was left musing to himself on the second floor of the teahouse.He knew that Billy was a conman as soon as he saw him, but he didn't understand why Raymond would buy from Billy.Could the item really be medieval as Raymond stated?As soon as the thought occurred to him, Charlie was sure of it. Given Raymond's knowledge of antiques, there was no way he would mess up in Antique Street of Aurous Hill.While his father-in-law and Zachary had worked hard to weave this elaborate conspiracy, Charlie still wondered how they would take the news that Raymond had bought something worth millions for just 300 thousand.Meanwhile, Raymond watched as Billy left and locked the door from the inside before studying the bronze sculpture once more.He trusted his own judgment that it was a gilded bronze statue from the medieval era. He was playing down its importance since the bronze

Meanwhile, Raymond sighed unhappily. "I really can't afford four hundred grand—like I said, there's not much to offer here in my shop, which I've been investing a lot in. I'd have to pay rent to the owner soon as well, and everything would end terribly for me if I paid that much…"Billy blurted right then, "You said it's medieval and worth millions, didn't you? You'd make a fortune if you sold it!"Raymond sighed again. "Million-dollar antiques aren't that easily sold, and people would be especially skeptical with a small business like mine. I could sell it at an auction too, but that's only happening when someone decides to organize one, not to mention the troublesome appraisal processes it involves.""And right now, I just think it's medieval in terms of style, but I'm no authority in the matter. In the end, it's up to experts and specific groups that would verify it, and if I messed up, it's entirely my loss.""Even if I'm lucky and it's medieval, I'd still have to wait until th

"Invest?!"Billy was left dumbstruck at the term.What even was this fool up to? This definitely wasn't in the script! What about the questions he was supposed to ask? It was like sitting for a grade-schooler test and suddenly being hit with a bar exam!In the car, Jacob blurted out, "What the hell is that bastard thinking? Is he really going to pay 250 thousand?!"Zachary pursed his lips. "Maybe he's just throwing us bait. Think about it—if we took the deal, we'd have to leave a contact number.""After that, he would trick us and say he sold it for ten million and lure us in for the five million. We'd definitely show up, wouldn't we? Once we came, it might turn out that he has called the cops and would even produce\ the bronze sculpture as evidence. Wouldn't we be just shooting ourselves in the foot?"Jacob was left in misery, his face contorting as he pouted, "But you said the cops wouldn't get involved…"Zachary rolled his eyes, "Yes, they wouldn't most of the time since that

However, neither Zachary nor Jacob expected Raymond to confuse them further as he asked Billy, "If you can afford to wait, you can leave the bronze sculpture with me as a consignment. I'll only take 10% off the sales while you get the rest—how about that?"Jacob was stunned and asked Zachary, "What the hell is he up to? Did he get too deep into character?"Zachary shook his head. "I don't get it either… is he trying to keep the bronze sculpture to use as evidence against us?"Jacob frowned. "I thought you said there was a gentleman agreement in this business, and the cops won't really care anyway?"Zachary snorted. "He said he would keep it as a consignment, meaning that he won't spend a dime. What if he told all the antique dealers instead of going to the cops? He would prove that he's sharp, making a name for himself… and what can we do? Do we take back the bronze sculpture? Even if we do, can we really ask for it?'"Fuck!" Jacob swore. "Then what are we waiting for? Tell Billy
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6468
In Treasure Measure, even Billy was having a hard time understanding what was going on.Before he came, Zachary made it very clear that he was here to dupe Raymond Cole, and he had come.As such, his job was now to claim that this bronze sculpture which was made in the last century was actually from the Renaissance era and then sell it to Raymond at a cutthroat price.But now, Raymond himself was saying that it was medieval? What was that supposed to mean?Even as he was left confused, he blurted out, "Sir, if you say it's from medieval times… then how much is it worth?"Raymond thought about it and said, "It's quite an unpopular item, but it's not to say that no one would buy it or that no one likes it. The main issue is that there were plenty of wars at that time, and most bronze would be used for weapons. Copper production would be low with rationing as well, so bronze tools were naturally rare for civilians.""Gilding is common for better quality items, and from the northern

Zachary couldn't help pointing at the screen and snapping, "Fucking loser! The more you feel pressed, the less you should be nervous! What are you thinking?! You're falling right under that bastard's trap!"Jacob was frustrated too, growling through his teeth, "Shit! I didn't think that bastard was a sly old fox. Fucking hell!"He then sighed, shaking his head. "Forget it, Zachary—I'm going home to pack my shit, and I'll depart for Dubai first thing tomorrow. Just handle that bronze sculpture for me and wire the money over."As he was about to get off, Zachary sighed in exasperation and apologetically said, "Sorry, Mr. Wilson… but it's fine! Even if this plan screwed up, just let me cook up another plan to destroy Raymond Cole!"Jacob ignored him as he strode out of the car, but that was when Raymond spoke audibly from Zachary's phone, "You can calm down. I'm not accusing you of lying to me. I just think that it's not Renaissance… Rather, it's medieval.""E-Early medieval…?" Billy

In Treasure Measure, Raymond unwrapped the red cloth around the bronze sculpture in front of Billy and the camera.There was a brief flash of surprise on his face, and it was soon gone.Still, he picked up the bronze sculpture, fiddling with it as he asked, "Do you know where it's from?""Yeah," Billy nodded. "A Renaissance-era sculpture. I think the base makes it obvious."Raymond looked up at him and asked in curiosity, "Are you sure about that?"Billy, presuming that Raymond had already noticed a catch, quickly said, "Well, the old man had an expert check it, and the expert said it was immediately obvious! To be honest, I want to sell it because the old man just passed away—gotta sell this baby before my brother goes for a garage sale."He had certainly added more details to the script, and Raymond nodded as he said nonchalantly, "But it doesn't look Renaissance to me. Sculptures from that era—be it the craftsmanship or the unique attributes? It's quite different from this one

In the antique trade, items that raised eyebrows would only be shown in the evenings—when various shops were about to close.That was certainly the case in Antique Street, as most items arriving in the evening were either freshly excavated, stolen, or forgery used to dupe unsuspecting victims.Even if Raymond had started his career abroad, he had learned every last unspoken rule during his earlier stint in Aurous Hill.Seeing the wariness on Billy's face and the way he was holding something in his arms, Raymond knew right away that what he carried wasn't legal.Still, the antique trade was no different here than it was abroad.Tomb raiding, forgery, or adding some touch-ups that increased the value of an item—everyone across the globe pretty much played the same tricks, and Raymond had his fair share of experience.Still, he did not let his wariness show, instead grinning, "Yes, of course. Come on in—let's talk inside!"And with that, he quickly led Billy inside.Meanwhile, bot
