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

Yolden would never have dreamt that Charlie was already prepared to head to Syria!His original intention in calling Charlie was not to ask for his help either. This was because he felt that Charlie would not be able to help him in any way either. After all, his daughter was currently in Syria, which was six to seven thousand kilometers away from him, and she was also in the hands of the opposition force who were heavily armed with military equipment.Under this kind of situation, even the Syrian government would not be able to help in any way. So, he never would have thought that Charlie would be able to help him.The reason why Yolden was making this call to Charlie was simply to give him an update about the latest situation. So, when he heard Charlie saying that he was already prepared to head to Syria, he was shocked and completely at a loss for words.After a short while, he subconsciously asked, “Charlie, you… how are you going to get to Syria? No civil aviation is connecte

Yolden did not know of Charlie’s plan.When he heard that Charlie was planning to use money to solve the problem, he was a little relieved.He had originally hoped that the United States Embassy would be willing to pay for the ransom. However, the United States Embassy seemed to have a very firm and determined attitude, and they did not give the opposition force room for any negotiations at all.Now that Charlie was willing to pay the ransom in their place, Yolden felt that as long as the opposition force’s core demands were met, they would naturally honor their promise.So, he was very grateful as he said to Charlie, “Charlie, I will have to leave everything to you, then!”Charlie smiled slightly as he said, “Uncle Hart, you don’t have to worry. The plane is about to takeoff, so I will not continue talking to you anymore.”Yolden quickly replied, “Okay, okay. I will wait for your safe return, then!”After hanging up the phone, Charlie was already seated in the Concorde. Both Ch

“How would I rescue them and bring them out safely?”When Charlie heard Isaac’s question, Charlie smiled bitterly before he replied frankly, “To be honest, I do not know how I am going to rescue them or bring them out safely either.”Isaac asked nervously, “Then, how confident are you this time?”Charlie said seriously, “I have never been to Syria, and I do not know anything about the strength and defense of the Syrian opposition force. However, judging from the situation that you have just mentioned, the information seems to prove that the other party is still very strong and powerful. Even if I am a little capable, it would be impossible for me to take on thousands of soldiers who are armed with live ammunition. So, I can only find a way to sneak in quietly.”As he spoke, Charlie sighed slightly as he said, “If I am lucky, I might be able to sneak in, but if I am not that lucky, I might not even be able to get in at all.”Isaac was very worried as he said, “Young Master, you are

Charlie nodded. “Alright, then. Ask them to arrange for a skydiving instructor to board the plane with me so that he can teach me how to release the parachute and control the direction along the way!”***After flying for more than four hours, Charlie’s Concorde finally landed at the Beirut Airport, in the capital of Lebanon.It was the afternoon in Beirut, and the temperature had already reached about 30 degrees Celsius. The sky was a little hazy, and the air was a little damp. It seemed as though a heavy rain had not fallen even after being held back for a long time.After Charlie’s plane had landed, the plane taxied directly into a huge hangar. At this time, there was also a transport plane with four propeller engines parked in the hangar. A group of crew members was surrounding the plane to conduct a detailed inspection.After the plane had stopped, the ladder was docked. The crew opened the door, and both Charlie and Isaac walked out of the cabin together.At this time, th

After Charlie had boarded the plane, Gary pointed at a foreigner who was checking the parachute bag and said, “Young Master, this is Vladislav from Russia. He was a paratrooper instructor, and he has twenty years of professional experience in skydiving from a high altitude. He is extremely rich in experience.”The Russian man who was referred to as Vladislav stood up before he saluted Charlie as he spoke up in non-fluent Oskian dialect, “Hello, Mr. Wade! I will be temporarily acting as your skydiving instructor. If you are not confident, I can jump together with you when the time comes.”Charlie nodded before he asked, “If I were to jump on my own, what should I be paying attention to?”Vladislav explained, “When we are approaching the destination, I will choose the most suitable skydiving location based on the altitude, airflow, and wind speed around the destination. If you decide to skydive on your own, you will have to be very decisive and jump as soon as I ask you to jump when i

“This…” Gary hurriedly looked at Vladislav.Vladislav was placed in a tough spot, and he replied embarrassedly, “Mr. Wade, if your landing point is too close to them, I am afraid that it will be very likely for them to spot you in advance before you even have the opportunity to land. So, this is also for your own safety.”Charlie replied indifferently, “It’s okay. I have a way to prevent them from discovering me.”At this time, Gary was helpless, and he had no choice but to take out an engineering plastic box from under the seat. Upon opening it, there were two black pistols, a pile of bullets, a stainless steel tactical dagger, and also several grenades in it. Then, he told Charlie, “Young Master, you should take all these weapons and equipment with you in case you need it.”Charlie shook his head and said, “I do not know how to use a pistol.”Gary exclaimed, “You do not know how to use a pistol?! Then… then how are you going to defend yourself?!”Charlie smiled as he said, “If

Fifteen minutes after taking off, Charlie was only tens of kilometers away from his final destination.According to Vladislav’s calculations, Charlie would have to jump out of the cabin after about five minutes. After that, Charlie would land five kilometers away from his destination based on Vladislav’s remote guidance.So, Vladislav asked Charlie, “Mr. Wade, are you ready?”Charlie nodded. “I’m ready.”Vladislav said to Gary, “Mr. Hackford, please ask the captain to open up the hatch.”“Okay!” Gary immediately walked to the cockpit and asked the captain to open up the hatch at the rear of the plane.As the cabin door opened slowly, a violent and cold wind immediately flowed in. Isaac and the others could not help but shiver uncontrollably from the cold.Isaac hurriedly said to Charlie in a loud voice, “Young Master, you have to be very careful and vigilant! We will definitely be waiting for you at the place you have specified in six hours!”Charlie smiled slightly before he s

"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
