Chapter 2600

Author: Lord Leaf
The taxi driver’s face flushed red in an instant, and he hurriedly said, “How about one thousand five hundred dollars, then?”

Mason wanted to continue haggling with the taxi driver. However, Carvalho interrupted him at this time as he said indifferently, “Alright, then. We will give you two thousand dollars for the ride. Mason, pay up.”

Mason subconsciously said, “Grandpa, he just said that he will only charge us one thousand and five hundred dollars…”

Carvalho said decisively, “Have you already forgotten what I told you earlier? Pay him the two thousand dollars.”

Mason suddenly quivered before he nodded immediately before he counted and took out twenty pieces of hundred-dollar bills from his wallet before handing it over to the driver.

In fact, Mason was not a stingy person, nor was he unable to afford two thousand dollars. However, he simply felt that he could not accept it when he obviously knew that the taxi driver was trying to make more money out of them.

However, when he t

    Claire’s words made Charlie’s heart feel very warm.Over the years, Claire had always been very patient and accommodating toward him. Even when everyone was pointing their fingers at him and despising him over the past few years, Claire had never once complained about him, and she had never had any thoughts of divorcing him at all.Now that Claire was saying this from the bottom of her heart, this made Charlie feel even more touched.However, Charlie knew very well that Claire did not know anything about his true identity, his current wealth, or even the ocean shipping business that he had in mind.He assumed that Claire probably thought that he wanted to start a small-scale business when he mentioned the fact that he wanted to do his own business. She did not know that what he wanted to do was actually a large-scale project that was worth tens of billions of dollars.Charlie did not want to worry Claire too much, so he simply smiled and said, “Okay, I will listen to your advice t

    Charlie said, “That will not be necessary. The reason why I am calling you is because I want to ask for your advice on certain matters.”Doris hurriedly said, “Young Master, you are being too polite with me. You can just speak up if you have any questions for me, and I will certainly try my best to answer you.”Charlie replied, “I am interested to venture into the ocean shipping industry. It so happens that the Ito family from Japan would be able to provide me with a lot of help and resources. Besides that, I also have a lot of funds in my own hands. So, I want to find an opportunity to start working on this ocean shipping business.”“However, the current problem that I am facing right now is that I cannot find a suitable person to help me to take charge of this project. So, I want to ask you if you have any good ideas, or if you will be able to temporarily help me to build up this ocean shipping business?”“If you can do so, I will not be stingy with your salary, and I will certai

    Charlie truly did not expect that Yolden, whom he had just met yesterday, would actually be such a great and brilliant man in the field of economics and management.Just as he felt as though he had successfully encountered and found Yolden without putting in any effort at all, he could not help but feel sorry for his father-in-law at the same time.He naturally knew that his father-in-law’s feelings toward Aunt Hall came from the bottom of his heart.However, in the final analysis, his father-in-law had always been a coward in front of Elaine. Even though his father-in-law had been constantly thinking about renewing his relationship with Matilda, at the same time, he did not dare to divorce Elaine. If he were to carry on acting this way, his father-in-law and Matilda would never be able to have a happy future together.But Yolden was different.This man was not only highly educated and capable, but he also had an extraordinary appearance and temperament. Even his living habits wer

    Mason was extremely angry, and he yelled out loud, “Hey! You b*stard! You’d better stop right there!”Carvalho smiled slightly before he patted Mason on his shoulder as he said earnestly, “We might have prevented a disaster because of this financial loss. So, there is no need for you to be so angry.”Mason was very discontented, and he said, “Grandpa, that guy is simply too wicked! I paid him two thousand dollars, and he only sent us here before running off! It is just a short stretch of road. If we were to have taken any other normal taxis, it would definitely have cost less than fifty dollars. If we allow him to simply run away just like this, we do not know how many other people he is going to cheat in the future! No! I have to make a police report!”Carvalho nodded before he said. “That guy is indeed too much, but you don’t need to take it to heart and hold it against him. You have to always remember that time is the most important thing in a person’s life. The more successful a

    Mason was young and vigorous, and he had an extremely strong sense of justice. So, he could not help but feel that it was completely unacceptable when Carvalho said these words.However, after he had settled down and put some thought into what his great-grandfather had said, he felt that his words really seemed to make sense.The biggest difference between a Feng Shui master and an ordinary person was that a Feng Shui master would be able to predict whether a person’s future would be good or bad through physiognomy, Feng Shui, and divination.To any ordinary person, this was definitely a kind of ability that was absolutely amazing and incredible.Moreover, anyone who has mastered this kind of skill and ability should resolutely put an end to their sympathetic and compassionate heart. This was because as soon as they felt any sympathy for others, they would only be dragging themselves into a predicament.Mason finally understood why those professional killers in any domestic or for

    Kian was indeed very intelligent. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to practice and skillfully master the art of brainwashing girls. It was a pity that his intelligence had led him to take the wrong path, and Charlie had subsequently turned him into a poop-eating monster.The great-grandfather and great-grandson walked around the university campus. After that, Mason asked, “Great-grandpa, do you think that the master who placed the psychological hints on Donald’s son would be in this university?”Carvalho shook his head before he said, “I’m not too sure about this either. However, since Donald’s son met with his mishap at this university back then, that could only mean that we will have to start looking for clues here regardless of whether that person is in this university or not.”After that, Carvalho instructed, “Mason, since you are young, you should go around and ask some students about Kian during the break time in between their classes. You should specifically a

    Charlie drove his car all the way to the Aurous University of Finance and Economics’ administrative building. Soon, he had arrived at the door of the vice-chancellor of the School of Economics and Management’s office as per the room number that the security guard had given to him.After hesitating for a moment, Charlie knocked on the door.After knocking three times, Yolden’s voice sounded from the other side of the door. “Please come in!”Charlie pushed the door open, and he saw Yolden dressed in a decent suit. At this time, he was wearing a pair of glasses, and he was reading some information as he sat at his desk.After a few seconds, Yolden put down the file in his hand, and he was startled when he looked up and saw Charlie.Immediately afterward, he asked in surprise, “Charlie, why did you come here?”When Charlie saw the surprised look on his face, Charlie immediately knew that Yolden had not connected the dots, and he obviously did not know of his identity as the chairman

    Charlie was a little puzzled, and he asked, “Why do you feel that it is particularly meaningless and of no significance for you to help companies make more profits? Now that you are teaching, aren’t you also helping the university cultivate more talents, then? I think that there is truly not much difference between the two.”Yolden smiled slightly before he said earnestly, “To be honest, I am not the kind of materialistic person who loves money very much.”As he spoke, Yolden said emotionally, “Truthfully, money no longer carries any significance or meaning to me after reaching a certain level. My standard of living and my living conditions have been fixed ever since I began earning an income of five hundred thousand US dollars a year. Moreover, when I subsequently began earning ten million US dollars a year, my standard of living and my living conditions were still the same as when I was simply earning five hundred thousand US dollars a year.”“Although I am not a rich or wealthy p

    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
