It was no wonder he couldn’t find the pebble after that day, he had dropped it! Coincidentally, or rather, unfortunately, Loreen had picked it up…How could he explain it? Damn…Charlie bit his lips sheepishly and said in a casual tone, “What do you mean? It’s just some ordinary pebble.”Loreen looked Charlie in the eyes and said sternly, “Don’t lie to me! Zachary has already told me that this pebble is yours—it’s the rare, one and only peace and wealth pebble!”Charlie pursed his lips and looked away, silently cursing Zachary for spilling the beans!Since Loreen had grasped the conclusive evidence, Charlie could only confess with a reluctant nod, “Okay, fine, I’ll admit that I was the one who rescued you at the Aurous Bistro, but I was simply around the neighborhood when I saw you! Please don’t tell Claire!”He fell silent after confessing. They stumbled upon an awkward silence for a while.Charlie felt quite embarrassed and awkward. He didn’t know how to face Loreen since his

After returning home, Charlie threw the encounter with Loreen out the window.However, after calming down, he suddenly remembered that he hadn’t refined the medicine he had promised Anthony Simmons and the Moore family.For them, the medicine was simply the most amazing medication the world could provide.But in Charlie’s opinion, it was merely one of the most common medicines in the Apocalyptic Book. If he could refine and produce the more powerful and magnificent medicines recorded in the book, he wondered if it could bring back the dead or even make someone immortal?Despite its possible miracle, those magnificent drugs required a lot of exotic and rare ingredients, some of which he hadn’t even heard of. Most importantly, a lot of them were primers that needed reiki to refine into usable materials. He was just a beginner in producing medicine and there’s still a long way to go. Hence, he needed to tread slowly and cautiously.Nevertheless, Charlie was willing to refine and prod

“That’s great, thanks!” Charlie said with a smile. “Remember to prepare more of them, I have other uses for them.”Charlie had all the money in the world for those ingredients but he needed a reliable channel to get them from. Good medical ingredients are like fine pieces of antique relics that are not easy to come across. For things that precious, money was not the main issue, but a legitimate way to get them was instead.His foundation in Aurous Hill was very shallow compared to the Moore family’s influence and power in the city. They would have their trustworthy resources in every aspect here.As soon as Jasmine ended the call, she received a list of medicinal ingredients from Charlie. Immediately afterward, she called Graham Quinton.Although the Quinton family was not as prominent as the Moore family, their main trade and business revolved around antiquities, cultural relics, and Chinese herbal medicine.Even Charlie didn’t know that Graham was literally the largest supplier

Ever since she had been taught a lesson by Charlie, Aurora had thoroughly realized that humbleness and modesty were crucial as there was always someone better than she was.When she learned about Charlie’s supernatural abilities, admiration and shame started to root inside her heart towards him.She was ashamed because she intended to duel with him, not knowing what she was up against.Nevertheless, girls with feisty and lively characteristics like herself were easily attracted to a much stronger man because this kind of man was the only one who could subdue their feistiness.Therefore, from then on, Aurora regarded Charlie as her biggest and the most admirable idol. When she heard that Charlie wanted to produce a magical elixir, she exclaimed, “Wow, I didn’t know that Master Wade can even make medicine. That’s incredible!”Graham sighed. “Frankly, I don’t know how powerful Master Wade is! We’ve only seen scraps of it! I heard that, a few days ago, even the genius doctor Anthony S

Graham put on a sullen face and said earnestly, “Darling, before long, Master Wade will be so successful that he’ll spread his wings and soar into the sky like a proud eagle! Until then, all the families in Aurous Hill, no, even families across the country will curry favor with him. They’ll send their most beautiful and charming daughters into his embrace! Baby, you have to seize the opportunity when you deliver the materials to him!”“Huh…”Aurora blushed a timid red. “Dad, what are you talking about… I don’t understand… what opportunity…”“Yes, go on with your act,” Graham squinted at her and teased. “I can see that you admire him very much, don’t you?”Aurora lowered her head shyly, her face now as red as a cherry tomato. She nodded slightly.Graham continued, “I have a hunch that a real master like Master Wade will not stay in the small den of the Wilson family for too long. One day, he’ll leave them. So, you must act fast! Establish a good relationship with him as soon as pos

Early the next morning, Charlie was about to go out to the market when he received a call. It was Aurora, the Quinton family’s hot pepper.Aurora’s coquettish voice resonated through the phone. “Master Wade, are you at home now?”“Yes I am. Why? How may I help you?”“My dad has asked me to deliver some medicinal ingredients to you and he’s said that it’s Miss Moore’s order. May I know if it is a good time to visit you now? I’ll come over if it’s a convenient time for you.”Claire was out early, busy with her new office, while Jacob had gone out with Elaine to the Thompson First mansion to check the progress of the renovation. Charlie was alone at home right now, so he replied, “Okay, come over then.”“Okay! I’ll be there soon!”A few minutes later, Charlie heard a knock on the door.He opened the door and saw Aurora. She was wearing a beige dress, her long wavy hair cascading over her shoulder and her cheeks painted with a pinkish timid blush. She looked extremely beautiful and

It was all the best medicinal ingredients laid out in the huge luggage! Some of them were so rare that Charlie couldn’t even buy them!Bewildered, Charlie looked at Aurora and asked, “Where did your father get so many wonderful ingredients?”“Well, frankly speaking, our family owns a diversified range of business, one of them being medicinal materials. Our ancestors were medicinal material merchants since the late 19th century, and we had our own delivery team that gathered the best medicinal materials from all over the country and sold them to the rich and famous in the city. We’ve been in this business ever since.”Then, she started hurriedly, “Oh yes, my father says that if you need anything in terms of medicinal materials or ingredients in the future, you can tell us directly and we’ll do our best to meet your needs!”Again, Charlie was astonished.Ever since he accidentally obtained the Apocalyptic Book, he was mesmerized by its incredible and mysterious contents. There were

Be it Graham or Aurora, one magical elixir from Charlie was what they could ask for. It was their biggest jackpot! With the magical elixir, they could revive their family members who were halfway through heaven’s gate and it would mean a lot for a wealthy and powerful family like theirs.However, they had never expected Charlie to be so generous as to give them two!Aurora stared in a daze as if Charlie’s word was a form of lightning that had struck her point-blank. She looked intensely at Charlie, her eyes covered with foggy mist, and tears as large as beans rolled down her puffy pinkish cheeks. She sobbed as she said, “Master Wade… you… are you serious?”Charlie laughed. “Why? Do you think I’m just bluffing you?”“Oh, no! No!” Aurora shook her head hurriedly, her tears flying, making the entire scene rather adorable and hilarious.She wiped her tears and said in a sobbing but grateful voice, “I just can’t believe it… Thank you! Thank you so much!”Then, she bowed respectfully.

The lawyer then finished, "To be honest, cases of regretting a donation and seeking a lawsuit to get the money back? Law firms usually won't even get one per year, and that makes it especially newsworthy for the press."Also, court records are always public. That means anyone can access the verdict, and there's no hiding anything. So, if you want the lawsuit, you'd better be prepared."Jacob was already left in despair.All he wanted was to get his money back, but he didn't think that it would end up as public knowledge.And Mr. Bay had just told him over the phone that he would try to quell the scandal's pressure and try his best to protect Jacob's place as vice president.If Jacob's name was suddenly mentioned in a lawsuit attempting to reclaim an 'accidental' donation, even Mr. Bay couldn't save him at that point.Hence, after thinking long and hard about it, Jacob realized that he was not getting his 300 thousand back.The thought crushed him, and he burst into tears, "What

At this hour, most of the employees at Talbot Associates had already left.However, there were several lawyers who had just finished a meeting regarding a certain case, and they were just leaving when Jacob arrived.Seeing that they were packing up their bags and ready to leave, he asked, "Excuse me, are you still able to take cases?"The leader smiled, "Yes, but it's a little late now. Why don't you come again tomorrow morning?"Jacob shook his head impatiently. "This is very urgent—please help me and hear me out, then see if it will work. 300 thousand banks on this, so I'll give you twenty percent whether or not I get it back!"300 thousand was really neither here nor there.However, if it were an easy civil case, that twenty percent commission would still mean sixty thousand.The lawyer thought about it. "Fine. Tell us what your problem is, and we will assess the situation first. If it's easy, we can give you a general strategy right now. But if it proves difficult, we'll hav

The cabbie nodded. "Well, Talbot Associates, it is! They're said to be number two."-While Jacob was heading off to consult a law firm, Charlie was calling Julien Rothschild over the phone.The manchild had just had room service and was lounging on the couch, fiddling with his phone.After visiting the kennels with Charlie, he had been idling his days away at the hotel, waiting for Salem and his son to post that video of them being out at sea.Once that was done, Julien would return to the States, once more the heir apparent of the Rothschilds. Still, it was boring to simply lounge around in the hotel, and he would really like to strengthen his ties with Charlie.However, he was also afraid of being too forward as Charlie could be intimidating, and he could upset him—just like a fan eager to get close to their idol but was still worried about their idol getting disgusted with them.As such, he never expected Charlie to call him, and he immediately answered eagerly, "Good even

Pausing, Mr. Bay continued, "If they're not that upset with the idea, I'll bang my gavel and make the call so that you can at least stay as a vice president."If they keep refusing, I just have to promote Mr. Zonda to become a vice president while you take over his position of head-of-department as insurance. What do you think?"Jacob certainly wouldn't protest the idea of insurance, especially when he thought he would be forced to leave the Calligraphy and Painting Association altogether earlier. He quickly exclaimed gratefully, "Thank you so much, Mr. Bay!"Mr. Bay chuckled, clearly relieved as well. "Come on, Jacob—you don't have to be so formal. I'm like a brother to you! Don't you think that's what I should be doing?"Jacob laughed earnestly for once. "Well, brother, I'm honestly relieved…" He trailed off but soon pressed on, "But I have to ask, won't the other members have things to say even if you manage to persuade the other vice presidents? What if they remain unhappy?

There were times when making a person despair to some extent could be a people-strategy.For example, when your distant acquaintance asked for a ten grand loan but you could only lend him one, you couldn't tell him directly that. It would make them think you were being insincere.The better option would be to tell them how you were worse off than they were and had a debt yourself, or that some other friend had borrowed money for three years and never repaid it.And when that mere acquaintance was in despair, you could tell them that if it was really important, you could lend them one thousand with a credit card loan.That way, while the mere acquaintance wouldn't exactly be awash with gratitude, they at least wouldn't complain about your lack of sincerity.That was exactly what Mr. Bay was doing.He had no intention of offending Jacob, but he also couldn't directly tell him to give up on claiming the position as president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association. Otherwise, Ja

Jacob felt absolutely horrible just then, and he certainly did not expect Don Albert to give him the cold shoulder.If he had known, he would have just stayed content with the 200 thousand he had made and enjoyed his trip to Dubai! If he had, the Calligraphy and Painting Association wouldn't have found out about the bronze sculpture plot, and Don Albert would still be on friendly terms with him.Absolutely regretting everything, Jacob got in the backseat of the cab, tears of grief almost welling up and out of his eyes.Then, noticing that the cabbie was quietly watching him from the rearview mirror, he turned his face aside, whipped out his phone, and called Mr. Bay.As soon as Mr. Bay answered, he asked, "How did things go over there? Have you sorted out Zachary Evans yet?"He was waiting for Jacob to ask Don Albert for help so that the latter would pressure Zachary into posting a statement retracting his previous claims.However, Jacob knew full well that there was no hope for

Ramond replied, "I'm not planning on getting my name out there—I was just thinking I could start slow from one shop, but now, I'm suddenly so popular everyone's consulting me for appraisals, so I guess that's the short end of this."Either way, I'm planning to let things cool off by opening the shop late and closing early. That way, I'd receive fewer customers, and the hype will die down in a month."Once it does, I'll lead a slow life, which is perfect in Aurous Hill since it's how things are here. I'm not aiming to get rich or expand my business, and it's a comfortable life, so I plan to retire here."Charlie nodded. "The Rothschilds are relatively manageable, but I'm not sure if the Qing Eliminating Society is still looking for you and the Four-Sided Treasure Tower. You'll be completely free once they are wiped out.""And I'm sure with your abilities, Mr. Wade, that day will soon arrive." Raymond smiled and soon remembered. "By the way, you probably haven't had dinner yet, right

Charlie was never one who covered up misdeeds, and what Jacob had done reflected his corrupted character and clear refusal to feel remorse.As such, Charlie naturally refused to offer any help, completely giving up and allowing Jacob to keep going off on his own tangent, tearing himself apart in the process.Still, Raymond did put a good word in for Jacob. "Actually, one can understand Mr. Wilson's motives from a certain point of view. I was the one who set him up so that he broke that vase, and had him beaten up so that we didn't arouse suspicion. He has every reason to bear a grudge."Charlie sighed, nodding. "There's no issue with holding a grudge or getting revenge—in fact, I have no problem with him trying to salvage some pride. However, what he did was unseemly, and he doesn't know when to stop."He didn't lose anything before Zachary exposed everything. Even if he had missed a killer deal, he bought it off someone's hand in the first place and made two hundred grand in clean

With those words, Jacob didn't wait any further as he turned and left Antique Street, intent on seeking legal counsel.Raymond watched him leave before returning to Treasure Measure.He wasn't going to leave, but he had said so because he didn't want to waste much time with Jacob.Still, to avoid any trouble, he turned the sign outside to 'closed' before locking the door from the inside.That was when a man suddenly arrived, asking through the glass door, "Can I still take a look inside, sir?"Raymond was ready to refuse without even turning around when he realized that it was Charlie.He turned around and saw him standing outside just as expected.Smiling, he hurried over to open the door for him. "It's been a while, Mr. Wade!"Charlie was aware that Raymond was sticking to his identity of 'Raymond Cole' who had not been in touch since Raymond had been fired from Vintage Deluxe.Charlie chuckled in turn. "It has indeed. And you're a business owner yourself now, too.""It's j
