“What is even more powerful is that the calendar that they came up with is exactly the same as the ones calculated by modern science now. The error is so minimal that there is only a one-day discrepancy in the calendar in every five thousand years. Do you think that this is also a feudal superstition, then?”Sophie suddenly did not know how to refute her mother’s statement. So, she could only make a strong statement as she said, “There is still no actual basis for this kind of thing. Therefore, I will not believe in it anyway!”Helen sighed at this time before she continued speaking in a serious tone, “When my generation was younger, we had a relatively objective understanding of the Eastern and Western culture. We would never blindly believe that the West was better or the East was better. Instead, we would look at the problem from an objective and dialectical perspective. However, the Western culture has already taken complete control over your generation, which was born after the

When she saw that Sophie was no longer refuting her words, Helen sighed slightly before she said in a serious voice, “Sophie, you have to understand that all of the stars in the two trillion galaxies or more have their own set of laws of operation. What more the lives of billions of people?”After that, Helen folded her hands together before she said sincerely, “I used to go to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha often in the past. However, both of you and your father would always think that I was being overly superstitious. Nonetheless, the teaching in Buddhism has long taught us to see the world in a grain of sand!”“Even if it is just a gravel, its interior is infinite!”“In comparison, a galaxy is also equivalent to a grain of sand in the universe, but it also contains another vast world within it.”“Divination and fortune-telling seek to tell people the truth. Everything has its own set of laws, from the dust to the stars. Even if you do not understand it, it’s okay.

‘However, Mom is already making such an absolute statement now. Based on my knowledge and understanding of her, although Mom is usually a very gentle and easy-going person, as soon as she makes up her mind and decides on something, there is basically no room for mediation at all…’‘So, if I were to insist on looking for my benefactor at this time, my mother will certainly send me to the United States just as she said she would…’‘At that time, if I am in the United States, I will be thousands of miles away from Oskia. It will be even more impossible for me to find my benefactor, then…’‘So, I can only lie to my mother first so that she will feel comforted… before I secretly continue looking for him…’Helen did not know the thoughts that were going on in her daughter’s mind at this time. Therefore, she felt relieved as soon as she heard that Sophie was willing to give up searching for her benefactor.So, Helen looked at Jaime before she said in a serious tone, “Jaime, your middle n

Helen wanted to stay in Aurous Hill for a while.It was not only because she missed Curtis, but it was also because she truly liked the warm and humid ancient city by the riverside.Also, she was still thinking about that old mansion that Curtis used to live in.She wanted to continue staying in Aurous Hill so that she could buy that old mansion. After that, she would renovate it nicely again.If there was nothing special in the future, Helen was even willing to settle down in Aurous Hill.Helen had gotten married to Sheldon because she had already lost all of her confidence and expectation in love and relationships after seeing the man that she loved so deeply getting married to another woman.However, even after getting married to Sheldon, Helen only felt family affection for him and not love.As soon as Sheldon’s betrayal of their marriage had come to light, Helen’s family affection for Sheldon had also disappeared instantly.Therefore, even though she had not officially div

As he spoke, Jaime said again, “Oh! I will not be leaving Aurous Hill for the time being anyway. Miss Golding’s concert is about to begin. I want to continue staying in Aurous Hill to make the preparations for the concert, and I will only go back to Eastcliff after the concert is over.”Sophie never expected that her brother would be so talented at adding to her misfortune and striking her when she was already down.She glared at Jaime before she told Helen, “Mom, I did not bring enough clothes with me this time. Furthermore, I do not have all the daily necessities that I usually use here with me. It would be fine if I were to continue staying in Aurous Hill for three to five days. However, it will be very troublesome for me if I were to stay here for a long time…”Helen replied indifferently, “Oh, that is very simple. The maids at home are also very free now. I will ask them to pack all of your personal belongings for you and bring them here together with them, then.”As she spoke

While Sophie was temporarily hiding her inner impulse as she decided to stay in Aurous Hill, Wendy was still feeling very anxious and nervous as she got busy in Mallow Stenhouse Etiquette Corporation.At this time, it was already dusk, and Wendy had officially taken over Mallow Stenhouse Etiquette Corporation in the afternoon.In order not to disappoint Charlie, Wendy immediately spent the entire afternoon carefully counting all of the accounts of Mallow Stenhouse Etiquette Corporation ever since its establishment.She listed down all of the hostesses who had been cheated by Mallow Stenhouse Etiquette Corporation first before evaluating their losses based on the records of their participation in various events and activities. After that, she calculated the total amount of compensation that should be paid out to these people.Immediately afterward, Wendy contacted all of the hostesses who had worked together with her as well as the hostesses who used to work for the company to retur

When Wendy saw that everyone had already received the message, Wendy continued speaking, “The reason why I called everyone back here today is because there are a few things that I want to announce to you.”“The first thing is that Hebron Lawry and Xavia Carter have already paid back a portion of the money that they have cheated out of everyone for so long!”As soon as Wendy said this, there was an uproar at the scene!One of the girls blurted out, “What?! Hebron and Xavia have already paid back the money? Is that for real? How could these two exploiters possibly repay the money? How is that possible?”Wendy replied seriously, “This is indeed true. My brother-in-law has already sent the both of them off to start working in a karaoke bar to earn money to atone for their wickedness. Xavia will be working as a bar girl, and Hebron will be working on the premises. Both of them will be working at Chief Jay’s establishment. I believe that both of them will already start working tonight. Y

Wendy could not help but feel a little embarrassed as she was surrounded by the thunderous applause and cheers. Wendy settled down a little before she continued speaking, “The third thing is that Mallow Stenhouse Etiquette Corporation will continue operating under a brand-new model. The operation idea works like this…”There were nearly three hundred girls in the audience, and all of them were looking forward to her next content at this moment.Wendy continued in a serious tone, “First of all, Mallow Stenhouse Etiquette Corporation will continue providing etiquette services for major enterprises, institutions, and individual establishments in Aurous Hill, just like before. We are all girls, and all of us have almost similar experiences. So, all of us could be considered sisters. If my fellow sisters would like to continue working in this industry, I hope that you will choose to continue working together with Mallow Stenhouse Etiquette Corporation.”“Secondly, I solemnly promise all

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
