Therefore, even though he was currently in Aurous Hill, Tyler could still get through to him. Coincidentally, the helicopter had landed near Moore Group at this moment. Charlie heard a ringtone in Hashimoto’s pocket. He took the phone out and saw the name ‘Tyler’. When the Japanese saved the names of people in their phones, they normally used Oskian characters. Hence, when they recorded the names of Oskian people, the Oskian characters would be used as well. Once Charlie saw that the call was from Tyler, he immediately warned Hashimoto, “If you want to stay alive, obey me. If not, I’ll send you to the dog butcher, and you’ll be chopped into pieces and fed to the dogs. Do you understand?” Nodding frantically, Hashimoto’s face turned pale as he pleaded, “As long as you spare my life, I’ll do whatever you ask of me without any hesitation…” Charlie coldly uttered, “When you answer Tyler’s call, if he asks about your current situation, tell him that eve

At 10.55 am in the morning. Suddenly, Moore Group had a stock suspension. The stock suspension signified the temporary halt of trading. From this moment, the shares of Moore Group were sealed. There was no rise and fall until trading resumed. To apply for a stock suspension from the commission required a very strong reason. For Moore Group, the reason for the stock suspension was because the group had a huge announcement to make. Generally, stock suspensions happened before a listed group made an important announcement. This was to prevent insider trading and stop the informed from being opportunistic. For example, in the past, Amazing Tiger 360 used to be a very famous internet company. They sought to be listed in Oskia and were able to be listed in the local A-shares albeit via the backdoor. This was the so-called backdoor listing. To put it plainly, when a company could not fulfill certain requirements set by the commission for public listin

After all, Charlie was known as the true dragon. Therefore, Reuben dared not neglect him at all. Seeing Charlie arrive alone, he immediately stepped forward and said to him respectfully, “Master Wade, you’re here!” Charlie nodded slightly. With a tinge of regret, he said, “Reuben, I’m sorry. In regards to Jasmine’s case, I’ve tried my best…” Charlie purposely said “tried my best”, these three words, but there was no response. On the other hand, when Reuben heard these three words, he immediately assumed a scenario where a patient was brought to the hospital with little hope of survival, and these words were spoken to the patient’s family. Thus, in his mind, he added elements that were not meant by Charlie. He quietly mulled, ‘Indeed, it looks like Charlie couldn’t find Jasmine’s whereabouts. Moreover, Charlie is now back in Oskia, so he must’ve given up on searching. This means Dad and I can finally have peace of mind.’ Reuben’s heart was invigorated, but he pret

Once the female secretary finished her opening address, the crowd gave a roaring round of applause. The ten board members of Moore Group entered through the side door one by one. Charlie did not know these people who walked in front except for the last two, which were Reuben, and his father, Tyler. Despite entering last, the central seat on the podium was empty and reserved for Tyler. After he went on stage, he straightaway sat in the central seat. Just as he was seated, he saw a person who was seated in the VIP seat in the first row—Charlie. Seeing Charlie, Tyler became a bit nervous inside, just like Reuben. As the saying goes, a thief was bound to have a guilty conscience. Tyler was also worried that all his evil deeds would be exposed one day. He was especially scared of Charlie, because to him, Charlie posed the biggest threat. If his deeds were to be exposed one day, he would not be scared of the police looking for him. Instead, h

Now, Tyler himself had acknowledged this fact. Thus, this matter was cast in stone and could be regarded as official news to be announced to the public right away. However, at this moment, Charlie suddenly asked coldly, “Mr. Moore, Ms. Jasmine Moore is only lost at the moment. There is no confirmation of her death. I would like to ask. If Ms. Jasmine comes back safely one day, would you return the position of chairman to her?” Tyler thought that today would be the easiest transition of power. Moreover, he also felt that he had convinced the entire board. The only thing left was to announce it to the public. Under these circumstances, it would be impossible for anyone to cause trouble. However, he would never have thought that Charlie would actually trouble him suddenly at this moment. Despite feeling very furious in his heart, he still answered politely, “Don’t worry, everybody. During the board meeting, we agreed on a basic principle. Even though I was v

The moment Jasmine appeared, everyone was struck dumb except Charlie. No one would have imagined that Jasmine, who was missing with no news about her life and death, would suddenly appear at the press conference. Just a second ago, Moore Group had just announced Tyler as the new chairman after a board meeting because the company could not confirm whether Jasmine was still alive. However, the next second, Jasmine was suddenly back! Almost no one could accept this huge twist. Even the movies were not scripted this way! The one who could not accept this reality the most was naturally the new chairman of Moore Group—Tyler. At this moment, Tyler looked at Jasmine. He was so angry that eye sockets were about to crack open! His eyes goggled widely, his eyeballs reddened. At the same time, blood veins crawled all over them. That pair of eyes almost fell out of its eye sockets. He would never have dreamt that Jasmine could return from Japan ali

Under the gaze of the crowd, Jasmine strode toward the podium. At this moment, many journalists reached out their microphones. There was one journalist who sounded breathless and crazed as he asked, “Ms. Moore, Ms. Moore. I’m a journalist from the South Region Financial Times. I would like to know, how did you escape alive from the accident over the cliff in Japan?” Jasmine stopped walking, smiled, and answered, “When the accident happened, fortunately, I wasn’t in the car.” Another person asked, “Ms. Moore, since you were not in the car, after so many days, the Japanese police were still looking for you, so why didn’t you show up?” Jasmine replied lightly, “The reason I didn’t show up was because I suspected the accident had purposely been set up by people who were out to get me. For my safety, I decided not to show up.” Once these words came out, the crowd gasped! Jasmine’s accident had been purposely set up?! If this was true, that meant there were p

At this moment, Tyler was still under the impression that what he had done had not been exposed. At the same time, he mumbled to himself, “It doesn’t matter if that d*mned Jasmine has come back. Now that that old thing has lost his mind, she will lose her only support in Moore Group, and I have all the chances in the world to trap her in the future!”At this time, Jasmine looked at Tyler and asked in a crisp voice, “Uncle Tyler, I heard that the board of directors elected you as the new chairman because I was not here, am I right?”Tyler rubbed his hands rather awkwardly and forced a smile. “Haha… I… Uh… Everyone agreed that the company couldn’t be without a leader, so they elected me to replace you.”Jasmine nodded and said seriously, “In that case, I thank you for supporting me and the company while I wasn’t here.”With that, she diverted the subject and asked, “Uncle, you just said that if I came back, you would voluntarily return the chairman position to me. That’s still vali

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

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

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

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
