Chapter 260

Author: Lord Leaf
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. As

    Even though it looked like a simple slap, when the slap hit him, all the reiki that Charlie had been accumulating rushed and penetrated into his head, rushing along his body along the meridian as it burst all the important veins in his body.Since his important veins had already burst, he also lost all of his skills!The man dressed in white was horrified as he yelled out in pain.How could anyone have such strong spiritual energy and reiki? He really could not fathom who Charlie was.How was it possible for anyone in Aurous Hill to have such incredible skills?Moreover, he felt as though Charlie’s skills were incomparable.Where did this guy come from?He had come here with his brother to kill, why did it seem like they were the ones getting killed instead?At this time, Charlie punched the man in his abdomen and with just one punch, the man in white felt as though he had become a completely useless person. He could not even move his hands and feet at this time and it felt as

    At this time, Loreen felt as though she had just been struck by lightning!She stared at Charlie and she felt as though she had just been placed in a really unexpected situation.Charlie did not know that Loreen had recognized that he was her savior.Charlie simply sneered after getting rid of the Butcher Brothers.The Butcher Brothers? Even though their names sounded extremely cool, they were nothing more than a pair of wild dogs!Zachary had a terrified expression in his eyes.The Butcher Brothers had already gone on a rampage and killed countless people for so many years. Moreover, they had never lost any battles in their lives.Everyone in the southern region was afraid of them.Who would have expected the Butcher Brothers to actually die in Charlie’s hands today? Zachary felt that this was really unbelievable.Was Mr. Wade really that impressive?At this time, Charlie glanced at the two bodies that had already turned cold on the ground before he turned around and looked

    So, did this mean that she would not be letting her best friend down even if she was in love with Charlie?Perhaps her best friend would even be relieved if she got together with Charlie in the end!As she thought about this, Loreen hurriedly said to Charlie, “Then let me thank you for the trouble in advance, Charlie!”Charlie smiled at Loreen before he replied, “No, it’s no trouble at all.”His smile made Loreen’s heart beat even quicker at this time.Even though reason told her there was no hope for her since Charlie was her best friend’s husband, she could not help but to have all sorts of weird thoughts running through her head due to the emotional impulse she was feeling.Charlie did not know of what was going through Loreen’s mind at this time. Therefore, he gave Loreen his phone number without any hesitation.At this time, Zachary stepped forward before he said in a flattering tone, “Mr. Wade, you’re really incredible! Even someone as frightening as the Butcher Brothers c

    When they drove into the city, the terrifying storm gradually subsided as if nothing had happened earlier.Then, a spring breeze dispersed the stormy cloud and a rainbow hung in the sky like a painting. Everyone looked upwards, mesmerized in nature’s beauty.Charlie stopped the car at the entrance of the antiquity commodity market and dropped Zachary off here.As soon as Zachary got out of the car, he bowed at Charlie respectfully and said, “Thank you, Master Wade!”Charlie looked at him and said flatly, “Zach, don’t ever tell anyone about what happened today, do you understand?”“Yes, of course! Don’t worry, Master Wade,” Zachary said in a gracious and serious tone. His face was full of admiration as he regarded Charlie as a godlike figure.Charlie nodded and drove away. Zachary, on the other hand, stood on the same spot and watched him leave, not daring to move even when the car had disappeared from his sight.Charlie sent Loreen, who still remained in the car, directly to the

    Looking at the condescending Jacob who was walking on the path of no return, Charlie shook his head dejected and returned to his room.Claire had already taken her shower and she put on lavender silk spaghetti pajamas.Her pajamas exposed her shoulders. Her skin was so soft and smooth like the silk pajamas and the pajamas barely covered her back and hugged her figure snugly. Charlie felt his throat going unusually dry tonight as he stared intensely at Claire.She was lying sideways on the bed. The thin and silky pajamas lay on the graceful curves of her body like artificial skin. The skirt covered her thighs and her long fair legs stretched out lazily on the bed.Claire blushed timidly as she noticed Charlie’s intense glare that she chided, “Stop looking at me like that, it’s not like you haven’t seen it before.”Charlie plastered a sheepish grin on his face. “Dear, you’re so beautiful that it’s never enough.”Claire rolled her eyes at his ridiculous remark but there was a spark

    "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,
