Charlie was still worrying about Autumn’s matter as he was making his way to Shangri-La by taxi.Charlie was even thinking of setting off immediately to ensure that he would have enough time to react and take action if Autumn were to encounter any mishaps. However, the situation in Syria was indeed very special, and Charlie did not know how he could possibly head to Syria at all.When he thought about how Isaac seemed to be very resourceful in every aspect, Charlie prepared to look for him so that he could come up with some ideas on his behalf.It just so happened that he would also have to have a discussion with Isaac on how they were going to deal with the Schulz family next. After Charlie had arrived at Shangri-La, he headed directly to Isaac’s office.Meanwhile, in Shangri-La, Sheldon was still waiting for the perfect opportunity to establish contact with Yahiko.However, since he had secretly sneaked into Shangri-La, he had been staying quietly in his room so far without re

As soon as he heard this, Isaac did not try to persuade Charlie anymore. Instead, he immediately took out his cell phone and made several calls.After he was done making the calls, Isaac said to Charlie, “Young Master, I have already consulted some of my friends and inquired about some overseas channels. If you want to go to Syria now, the route that is most commonly used is to fly in to Turkey or Iran first before entering Syria by land through these two countries.”As he spoke, Isaac said again, “But the awkward thing is that Turkey is located toward the north of Syria, and Iraq is located toward the east of Syria, but the capital of Syria, Damascus, is located in the southwest. That means that regardless of whether you are going to travel from Iraq or Turkey, you will have to travel hundreds of kilometers on land before arriving at Damascus.”“Furthermore, the terrain in the Middle East is extremely complex, and transportation there is not convenient either. Just this journey alo

The Concorde was once the only turbojet-powered supersonic airliner in the world that was truly put into commercial operation.Many young people might not know about this aircraft at all, but they would have to admit that this aircraft had left a very strong impression in the history of civil aviation.Based on the development of human science and technology over the past few decades, an interesting phenomenon could be discovered, and that was that people had been relatively conservative in the development of science and technology over the recent years.However, during the Cold War era from the 1960s to the 1980s, it was the golden age where science and technology seemed to thrive, and it had developed widely and rapidly.The people from that era had also shown unprecedented enthusiasm and radicalism in the field of science and technology. During the era when the computing powers of computers were not as great as a learning machine, the Soviet Union had sent astronauts to space,

The phone call was immediately connected after ringing twice.Jeremiah asked happily, “Charlie, why did you suddenly think of calling me today?”Charlie went straight to the topic as he said, “I need to ask you for a favor.”Jeremiah replied without any hesitation, “Oh! Why do you need to be so polite with your own grandfather? You can just tell me if there is anything you need. As long as it is within my abilities, I will certainly go all out to help you!”Charlie replied, “I have to go to Lebanon immediately to deal with an urgent matter. I heard that you own a Concorde. So, I would like to borrow it.”“Borrow the Concorde?” Jeremiah hesitated for a moment. After a short while, he smiled and said, “Charlie, if you want to borrow a private jet, I own a very, very luxurious Boeing business jet. I spent more than one hundred million US dollars just on the internal modification of the jet alone. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it is a palace in the sky. Should I lend tha

In Jeremiah’s eyes, Charlie was a person that he had to fight hard to win over.Leaving Charlie’s powerful and incredible strength aside, Jeremiah was already looking forward to Charlie’s official return to the Wade family simply because of the marriage contract between Charlie and Quinn, combined with the firm and willing attitude that the Golding family had to fulfill and abide by the marriage contract.The money that he had made by engaging in trade and businesses would have to be gathered and accumulated one after the other. However, a sum of money that Charlie could make for the Wade family simply by marrying a woman would be equivalent to adding tens or even hundreds of billions of dollars worth of property and assets overnight for the Wade family.Yule only had one daughter, and that was Quinn. Hence, everyone knew that as long as anyone were to marry Quinn, he would be able to inherit the entire Golding family.Jeremiah had already wanted to surpass the Schulz family since

Charlie felt very moved in his heart, and he said softly, “My dear wife, to be honest, I really do not want to leave right now either. However, the customer this time is a regular customer of mine, and I really cannot turn him down.”Having said that, Charlie paused slightly before he continued, “Wife, why don’t we do this instead? I promise you that I will not accept any new requests for the next month after I am done with the job this time!”The reason why Charlie promised that he would not accept any request for one month was because it would be the Tomb Sweeping Festival slightly after a month, and he would have to go to Eastcliff to participate in the ancestor worship ceremony then. When the time came, he would definitely have to use Feng Shui as an excuse to explain things to Claire, then.When Claire, who was on the other end of the line, heard Charlie saying that he would not be accepting any Feng Shui jobs for one month, her mood finally eased up a little. She also spoke in

As soon as Charlie said that he wanted to head to the airport, Isaac subconsciously asked, “Young Master, you want to go now?”Charlie blurted out, “What else are we waiting for if I am not going to set off now? I estimate that the plane has already taken off. It will arrive at the Aurous Airport in more than twenty minutes. If the helicopter is a little slower, the Concorde might even arrive before us.”At this time, Isaac finally came to his senses as he smiled awkwardly and said, “Yes, yes, that’s right. I forgot that the Concorde is extremely fast. Please wait a moment. I will arrange for the helicopter to prepare for takeoff, then.”After he was done speaking, Isaac picked up the walkie-talkie on the table before he blurted out, “The helicopter crew should prepare and get ready immediately. We will be taking off to head to the Aurous Airport in five minutes!”Very soon, Charlie could hear the sound of the helicopter engine starting coming from the rooftop.Isaac hurriedly sai

A few minutes later, the helicopter that Charlie was in arrived at the Aurous Airport.The Concorde was parked at the end of the airport runway.The pilot spoke up at this time as he said, “Young Master, Chairman Cameron, the people from the airport gave us feedback saying that the Concorde is already prepared to take off. We can land directly next to the Concorde before boarding and taking off immediately!”“Okay!” Charlie nodded. He became more aware of the reason behind the success of many big and influential families, and a large part of it was because of the support and guarantee behind the success.If ordinary people wanted to go to Syria according to the conventional route, it would take them at least twenty-four hours from the moment they boarded the plane.However, with such a complete support system, the time taken to arrive in Syria could be reduced to nearly six hours.The eighteen-hour difference might not seem like a big deal during any ordinary time, and it would b

"Alright!" Trippy was at once fawning, tagging along behind Raymond like a little child.Around thirty people were waiting in front of Treasure Measure by now. The collectors came in twos or threes, and all ten numbers had since been taken.Before Raymond arrived, he had a brief look at the collectors' faces through the security cameras before walking over, and he was really relieved to see no familiar faces.Having traded Oskian antiques for years abroad, it was only natural that he was acquainted with some of the elite collectors in the country.He also knew that they were especially demanding with the quality of their collection and wanted almost flawless items. As such, the bronze sculpture which had been completely lost wouldn't interest them.Still, he was also a little concerned that amongst the elite collectors he knew, there might be some who were losing money and losing purchasing power in turn. If they happened to take an interest in the bronze sculpture on top of that,

Trippy grinned. "I mean, just look at my stall—ain't no way I'm getting any business here. Why not let me check out this item of yours? And see how interested they are? I'm really interested in learning and upping my game."Then, as if worried that Raymond would refuse, he quickly added, "Don't worry—I promise to stay in a corner and just watch."Still, Raymond could guess right then that someone must have sent Trippy to spy on him.It didn't matter whether it was Mick, Jacob, or Zachary either—they were all in this plot together, and one knowing meant all three knowing.Trippy was a gossiper in nature. If he was allowed to witness the whole process, everyone down Antique Street would definitely know before long.In fact, he could use someone like that right now, and Trippy had come straight to his doorstep.With that in mind, Raymond smiled, "Come join me if you're interested. It's not like there's anything to hide…"Pausing, he then warned Trippy, "But since you're going in my

After watching Mick's video, Jasmine's opinion of the man improved considerably.She was actually well aware that the decline of Vintage Deluxe was mostly due to Mick's incompetence.However, as Jasmine was now managing a billion-dollar company, she couldn't spare any time to ask many questions about Vintage Deluxe's performance. In her opinion, as long as Vintage Deluxe didn't lose too much money or ruin the reputation they had worked so hard to build, she wasn't interested in a regime change.It was the same mindset as Marianne Long, who begged her father to keep that lane full of food stalls in Hong Kong over sentiment.As such, seeing that Mick actually had some skill pleased her considerably.She couldn't resist checking out the comments of the video too.She saw that many were praising the manager of Vintage Deluxe for taking a tough stand against the scammer as well as how Vintage Deluxe's reputation was long-standing and without comparison.She soon noticed Jacob's comme

Soon, more collectors had gathered outside Treasure Measure even before Raymond showed up at Antique Street, with over ten of them gathered outside in no time at all.Since Raymond had only prepared ten slips, the rest left in disappointment seeing that they had no chance.Even so, the ten collectors who had gotten a number were nervous—save for the first man who had arrived.The details on the online sales post insisted that the price was fixed, and that first-come first-serve applies.If he bought the bronze sculpture, the other nine would have come all this way for nothing.However, if the seller decided to make it an auction, they would have a chance too, although their net profit would thin in turn. After all, they could have acquired the bronze sculpture for just 20 million, and that meant a solid 8 million in profit.An auction would at least raise the price to 27 million, and more would make it chicken feed.If they gave up at that point, it was a waste of a trip.If

Trippy naturally wasn't going to tell Mick everything word-for-word, so he said vaguely, "Uh, they were just being stubborn and refused to listen to anything I said. They kept saying that they wouldn't know until they saw the actual item."Mick got out of bed, staring at his phone as he mused to himself.This was getting a little ridiculous, was it not? A fool who was scammed, actually able to scam someone else? But if he really could sell it, wouldn't all their work be for nothing?With that in mind, he promptly called Zachary, who wasn't even up yet.Ever since he had started working for Don Albert, his daily routine was no longer the same as the days when he was a humble stall owner working on Antique Street, but a man of importance who slept late and woke up late.In the evening, he would be spending his time patrolling Don Albert's night entertainment properties as well as holding meetings with subordinates to decide on management policies and the like. That was why he wo

Seeing that Mick had a favor to ask, Trippy was naturally eager to seize the opportunity to get in his good graces."Don't worry, Mr. Crane!" He promptly replied. "Just leave it to me!"Returning to Treasure Measure, he went up to the first man who had come and said, "Hey, brother… Did you come to buy the bronze sculpture from Mr. Cole?"The man asked warily, "You know about the bronze sculpture?""Of course!" Trippy grinned. "I know all too well—it's actually famous here in Aurous Hill."Whipping out his phone, he played the short video that Mick had spent five grand promoting, saying, "Here—check this out!"Curious, the man took the phone and watched the video solemnly.The other latecomer soon hurried over as well and stared fixedly at the screen too.They watched as Bill entered a room with the bronze sculpture with Mick, the latter who checked it out and started commenting on it.The first man exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, it really is that bronze sculpture."The second ma

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
