If that was the case, she would not even have the opportunity to live in the villa that Zeke had given to Charlie after the renovation was completed.Elaine gave in immediately when she thought about this.At this time, she could only sigh before she said, “Okay, I’ll choose to be supportive of you, then. I won’t mention Wilson Group anymore, okay?”Claire was finally satisfied and she nodded before she said, “Alright then, we won’t move out, then.”Charlie could not stop himself from showing a thumbs up gesture at Claire when he witnessed her showdown with her mother.His wife was really incredible. Even though it was not apparent, Claire was always very effective at handling all the critical moments.Jacob did not say anything so far but when he saw his daughter who rarely lost her temper finally getting angry and frustrated, he came forward and said, “Look! Why should you be fighting? Isn’t it good for the family to be harmonious and happy?”Elaine glared at Jacob with a shar

When Jacob said this, everyone looked at him with an incredulous expression on their faces.Elaine asked Jacob in surprise, “Are you telling me that someone wants to spend three hundred thousand dollars for this tattered thing? I don’t think that you’ll even be able to sell it for fifty dollars!”Jacob replied in a triumphant manner, “Why would I lie to you? If you don’t believe me, why don’t you take a look at my message history?”As soon as he said this, Jacob took out his cell phone before he opened his text message and clicked on a voice note sent to him by someone called Zachary.Zachary’s voice sounded over the phone at this time. “Uncle Jacob, you’ve got a very good pen holder in your hands! I do think the pen holder is really from the Qing Dynasty! Why don’t you sell the pen holder to me instead? I’ll give you three hundred thousand dollars for it!”Elaine was very surprised and she quickly said, “Oh my god! You were telling us the truth! Jacob, you’re incredible. You boug

“Okay, I’ll drive.”The couple drove to Antique Street together.Since it was the weekend, there were many people at Antique Street.Zachary had already opened his stall for a long time on Antique Street. Therefore, he has his own permanent booth on the street. Charlie could find him as soon as he entered the Antique Street.At this time, Zachary was holding a fake jade pendant in his hand as he was bragging to a foreign couple. “I am telling you that this jade pendant was worn by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty before he passed it to his grandson and the generation after that. After many twists and turns, the jade pendant finally fell in my hands…”“Is it really that valuable?” the middle-aged man asked in surprise. “How much does this jade pendant cost?”Zachary grinned before he replied, “Since we’re fated to meet today, I’ll sell this jade pendant to you for just one hundred and eighty thousand dollars. After leaving Antique Street, you can actually sell this jade pendant to

Charlie nodded in satisfaction when he saw how obedient Zachary was.In fact, Zachary was a very clever man and he would definitely be useful to Charlie in the future since he is indeed very capable and full of ideas.After that, Charlie told him, “Zachary, I’ll definitely treat you well if I’m satisfied with your behaviour.”Zachary hurriedly clasped his fists together before he said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Wade. I’ll definitely make sure you’re satisfied!”Charlie could not help but smile at Zachary’s flattery. “Do you know that I really feel like hitting you because of how shameless you look right now?”Zachary laughed before he said, “Mr. Wade, I know how ugly my face is but you should also know that money is never ugly!”After that, Zachary took out a black box from under the seat before he handed it over to Charlie. “Mr. Wade, this is the three hundred thousand dollars in cash that I’m supposed to give your father-in-law. Please check if the amount is correct.”Charlie waved hi

Claire pushed the car open before she hurried out of the car with an umbrella in hand.Charlie rushed after Claire as soon as he saw her getting out of the car.“What happened, Loreen?”Claire asked as soon as she rushed over to Loreen.“Claire? What are you doing here?” Loreen asked as soon as she saw Claire. She was trembling because she was drenched from the heavy rain. She looked extremely surprised and embarrassed, as though she did not want her best friend to see her in such an awkward manner.Claire held the umbrella over Loreen’s head and she quickly replied, “I happened to pass by this road with Charlie when I saw you by the side of the road. What happened to you?”Loreen quickly replied with an annoyed expression on her face, “Let’s not talk about it anymore! My company sent me out on an errand today and they gave me a car to do so. That’s the reason why I drove out to meet the customer in this care today. However, even before I could meet up with the customer, I real

Among the two people who were walking towards them, the one standing in front was dressed in white.He was wearing a white silk cloth and his clothes fluttered in the air. What was even more surprising was the fact that there was not even a drop of rain on him at this time.The other man was dressed in black and he had a very strong and sturdy body.Moreover, he could see that the two men had formed a barrier around their body, as if isolating the rainwater from themselves.Charlie glanced at the two men and he realized that they could both fight very well.At this time, Zachary, who was sitting in the car, looked out the car window and his face turned pale immediately, as though he had just seen a ghost! At this time, he opened the car door before he tried to run away.Charlie had very quick eyes and he quickly grabbed hold of Zachary’s collar before he said, “Why are you running away?”“The Butcher Brothers…they’re the Butcher Brothers!” Zachary yelled in panic as he struggled

Claire was really unwilling and she did not want to leave Charlie behind. “No, I don’t want to! I want to stay with you!”At this time, Charlie replied in a cold manner, “Go now! If you stay behind with me, you’ll only distract me and it won’t be good if all of us get hurt then!”Claire nodded before she led Loreen to their car.Loreen staggered as Claire pulled her away and at this time, a white stone slipped out of her pocket and fell to the ground.Charlie sneered as he stared at the Butcher Brothers. “You’re both nothing but two ants to me and you’re telling me that you’re going to get rid of me? I guess you must both be really tired of living!”The study man smirked before he said, “Why don’t we see who’s the ant here?”After that, the sturdy man rushed over to Charlie as he tried to punch him in the face. His fist was so strong and it felt as though he would smash Charlie’s face directly.However, Charlie saw the punch coming at him and he said lightly, “I guess you really

In the next second, everything was a blur. The figure of the man dressed in white was now a phantom as he flew towards Charlie.As soon as the man dressed in white punched the air, a wave of air set off around him as he forced the rain around him to disperse backwards involuntarily.Whenever the rain drops touched his fist, the rain would immediately turn into steam.“He was prepared to kill!”Zachary was horrified and he wanted to crawl and hide under the car.At this time, Loreen, who had just been pulled into the car by Claire, was also so frightened that she was holding her breath. She was extremely nervous and anxious at this time because she was afraid that her savior would die here today because of her.Even though Claire was also feeling very nervous, she felt that Charlie would definitely be able to defeat the two men.Charlie simply glared at the man dressed in white with a cold expression on his face.He was not afraid of the deadly glare in the man’s eyes at all.

"Five hundred grand?"Mick chuckled. "Well, the sculpture looks Renaissance, and the craftsmanship as well as the material are all ideal. It would sell for up to two million in an auction, while established antique traders like us could offer up to a million. So, why the lowball?"Bill sighed. "I won't lie—it belonged to my old man, who just croaked this afternoon. But you see, he left a will stating that every antique in the house would be given to my brother… Since he's playing favorites, I thought I had to get something for myself.""That's why I quietly sneaked this baby out without anyone else knowing and am trying to sell it quickly to change my own circumstances. You don't have to tell me how many millions it's worth—I'm not that greedy. Give me five hundred grand, and it's yours."Mick shrugged as he shot back, "If it's as you say and your old man intended for your brother to have it, the fact that you sneaked it out here makes this theft. Do you think I'd buy stolen proper

It was half past six, and the skies were darkening when a figure hurried into Antique Street, heading straight toward the center—to Vintage Deluxe.Mick Crane, the manager, was holding the fort with some of his employees, and there were some guests window shopping there as well. As Mick asked the employees to assist the guests, he waited anxiously for Billy—Zachary's henchman.Nonetheless, a certain figure rushed inside within minutes, asking eagerly as he entered, "Is the manager in? Do you still buy antiques?""Yes, and yes!" Mick exclaimed as he approached Billy enthusiastically, asking, "May I ask what you're planning to sell?"Billy looked around before sneakily holding up a parcel wrapped in red cloth, carefully lifting a corner to reveal an edge so that Mick could see.Then, he promptly lowered the cloth again, whispering, "This is the good stuff. I'm just not sure if you have the money to buy it."Mick grinned. "What are you saying? If it's something Vintage Deluxe coul

Jacob chuckled. "Can't tell you right now. But I will once it's done.""Well, have you decided when we're going to Dubai?" Elaine quickly pressed.Jacob said, "I'd have to wait until tonight to see if this deal works, but we're leaving first thing tomorrow. I'll get the tickets first, and we will be staying at the Burj Al-Arab that I told you about. People are always saying how amazing it is on the internet every day, seeing how luxurious the seven-star hotel is, but I'll be the judge of that."Elaine was overjoyed to hear that. "That's amazing! And I was just thinking we can't go sooner! Go about your business, then. I'll pack our luggage right away."Jacob chuckled smugly. "Don't pack so much, though. Just stick to the necessities, since we can get the rest over there!""Alright!" Elaine exclaimed, beside herself in excitement. "Alright, you hurry up and get your thing done over there. I'll start packing now!"After hanging up, Elaine called Charlie, who was in Champs Elys Reso

As Zachary agreed to do a favor for Vintage Deluxe's Mick Crane in passing, he and Jacob agreed to meet up at 7pm at the car park by Antique Street.He first took Jacob back to the Calligraphy and Painting Association and called Billy, one of his boys whom he thought was smarter than the rest, giving him the gist of the plan and telling him to familiarize himself with the script.Then, he took the sculpture back to Heaven Springs and met up with Billy in office, telling Billy what to do in finer detail and making sure he committed everything to memory.Zachary's strength as a judge of character certainly proved itself—Billy had never done anything like this before, but he took to the plan like fish to water. He committed the script to memory soon enough, and he was flawless.Once he made sure that Billy was fine, Zachary called Mick.As soon as Mick answered, he immediately asked, "Hello, Mr. Evans. How is that thing we talked about going?"Zachary chuckled. All the arrangements

Zachary continued, "Why do you think casinos are always making a profit? It's exactly because no matter how unassuming a guest is the first time, they would be allowed to win a couple of hands, making a little profit.""And suddenly, they would think that they are the chosen one, destined to win against all odds and always come out triumphant! Once such radical, blind confidence hits them, every last bit of his money would be lost to the casino!""At that point, you can get anything from them—their house, their wife, their children… hell, they'd be willing to die if you'd just let them gamble again!"Turning toward Jacob with a grin, Zachary then asked, "So, with all the points I made and that sculpture you're holding… Do you still think Raymond wouldn't fall for it?"Jacob laughed out loud. "Oh, talk about a plan within a plan! No one would ever see it coming! Raymond Cole is so screwed!"Zachary smiled and nodded. "That's why there's no reason to rush—I'll arrange a man to get r

As soon as they drove out of the village, Jacob asked Zachary eagerly, "So, when do you think we should make our move? I can't wait!"Zachary didn't hesitate, "Let's do it today. It's better than waiting! I'll get someone reliable to bring this to Treasure Measure and get him interested. I'm sure that since he has just returned to Antique Street, he'll need a hot deal to generate hype and make himself known. That's why I'm sure he'll take this sculpture."Jacob nodded repeatedly as he chuckled. "I think so too. Today is definitely best since I'll be going to Dubai soon and probably leaving once I'm done with this. Once you get this settled by the end of today, I'll get tickets for the flight tomorrow!"Zachary grinned. "Don't worry, chief. We will definitely get it settled today…"He trailed off for a moment before continuing, "Still, you should be a little patient. We should do this in the evening—at the second just before Raymond Cole closes shop.""But why?" Jacob asked in curi

Jacob was naturally gleeful that he could get the late medieval bronze sculpture along with its base. Right after he wired the agreed upon ninety-eight grand to Mr. Cardensky, he was already imagining how Raymond would buy it from him for several hundred grand.On the other hand, once Mr. Cardensky received the transfer, he saw the name on the account: Jacob Wilson.He was left perplexed—wasn't that man's last name Montague? Who was this Jacob Wilson?Still, he didn't worry about it too much since most antique hustlers preferred to work with anonymity and therefore, using a different name was perfectly normal.He then carefully wrapped up the bronze sculpture before passing it Jacob, asking politely, "Would you happen to have any other requests, Mr. Montague? I have plenty of other items here if you'd permit me to give an introduction."Jacob shook his head, "Just this sculpture will do. I'm not fully confident in your work either since this is our first deal, so I'm just trying i

Jacob asked, "Then, what would this sculpture be worth if it was genuine?"Mr. Cardensky thought about it. "Well, there are standards when it comes to Renaissance relics, but with something this exquisite, it'd definitely be auctionable for one or two million—and that's the conservative estimate.""How much would you sell it to me for?" Jacob then asked."Thirty percent of the market price," Mr. Cardensky quickly replied. "As I've said, the conservative estimate for this one is around one to two million, so we will set the price with the median estimate value at 1.5 million. And thirty percent means 450 grand."Jacob shook his head right away. "No, no, no… that's too expensive. What if I end up unable to sell it, on top of that?"In his mind, while he could barely accept that pricing, he still needed Raymond to be able to afford it if he wanted to swindle Raymond for twice the money.Mr. Cardensky quickly chuckled, "Oh, Mr. Montague—now you're being too serious. In this business,

"Okay!"Mr. Cardensky smiled and pointed at a nearby farmyard. "There's our workshop—the good stuff is all in there. Allow me to take you there!"The farmyard seemed uninteresting at first glance, but Mr. Cardensky soon led them to the stables and brushed off the straws covering the floor, revealing a plank laid flat on the ground.Mr. Cardensky then lifted it, revealing a passage below—they had dug a cellar into the ground beneath, with the stables as an entry point.As Jacob followed Mr. Cardensky down the cellar, he exclaimed in awe, "Your operation is definitely big, digging such a huge cellar!"Mr. Cardensky smiled humbly. "Anyone working in the business would have sustained their losses before. In the end, we're all folk of humble origins, starting out with raiding tombs or excavating artifacts. Just digging a cellar is really nothing."As they conversed, they cleared the stairs and arrived at the main hall.It was certainly a hall as it was around a hundred square meters,
