The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 2883
Twenty minutes later.The taxi stopped in front of the entrance of the Mount Phoenix Cemetery, which was the largest cemetery in the suburbs of Aurous Hill.The cemetery here occupied several nearby hills, and it had a very large area. Many people would usually come here during the day to pay their respects, but at night, there was not even a dog in sight here.The taxi dropped the great-grandfather and great-grandchild duo off at the gate of the cemetery before the taxi driver stepped on the accelerator and scurried away.Mason surveyed the white jade large gate in front of him under the dim moonlight, and he could not help but feel a little nervous as he said, “Great-grandpa, why is there not even a single staff working at this place?”Carvalho shook his head. “I’m not sure either. The gate is closed, but we do not know whether it is locked. Why don’t you help me go over there and take a look?”The both of them came to the gate. When Mason pushed the gate, the iron gate did not

“He’s really dead?!” When Mason heard this, he was immediately frightened to death as he said nervously, “This… isn’t this the zombies that we see in movies?!”“No!” Carvalho waved his hand and said seriously, “This is what happens when a person is infected with a parasitic worm. He is no longer driven by his consciousness, but he is driven by the parasitic worm.”“Parasitic worm?!” Mason was dumbfounded as he asked, “What is the principle behind that thing?!”Carvalho said seriously, “There is not much principle. It is just a kind of ruthless metaphysics mystery. For parasitic worms, the lower level is to just raise a bunch of poisonous worms so that they can kill one another. The worm that survives to the end is the parasitic worm. However, that kind of parasitic method is relatively lowly, and it is similar to raising a poisonous snake or a wolfhound so that you can release it to bite people. There is not much technical content.”As Carvalho spoke, he changed the topic and said,

Carvalho looked at Mason and explained, “You might think that things such as parasitic worms seem to be untraceable and are very unscientific, but in truth, it is actually very scientific.”As he spoke, Carvalho then explained further, “A parasitic worm feeds on the human brain. Moreover, it needs to be a fresh human brain. This also means that the person must have just died not too long ago. Although the human brain has been devoured by the parasitic worm and has lost the entire central control nervous system, the person’s bodily functions do not lose their vitality immediately. It is just like how a brain-dead person would often still have a heartbeat and blood circulation.”“The reason why a parasitic worm is so magical is because after it feeds on the human brain, it can temporarily take over the human’s central nervous system and perform a simple manipulation and control of the human’s body.”“For instance, the security guard just now could walk all the way here because he is u

Carvalho did not know how to respond to his words. So, he could only respond with a bout of forced laughter.Falco looked at the security guard who was standing motionless beside him as he reached out his hand and suddenly shouted, “Come back!”At this time, a white worm that could be compared to the size of an adult sea cucumber suddenly drilled out of the security guard’s hair. The worm was white and fat, and it had a large mouth that was filled with black and broken teeth. There was also some red and white residue left on its teeth, and it looked incredibly disgusting.After coming out from the top of the security guard’s head, it suddenly twisted its body like a carp before it flew up into the air and flew directly into Falco’s hand.Falco held the fat worm with one hand as he stroked it lovingly with his other hand.As for the worm, it rolled back and forth on the palm of his hand as it emitted some strange and bizarre squeaking sound. Falcon continued stroking the worm as

Carvalho was extremely unwilling to cooperate and work together with such an evil person.However, he did not dare to offend the other party. So, he could only nod and say, “That’s only natural! Both of us have our own strengths. Therefore, we will only be able to complement each other’s strengths by working together.”“That’s right!” Falco smiled faintly and said, “In that case, I’d like to trouble Master Mason to try to find a way to approach Sophie Schulz tomorrow. I’ll send the address to you through a text message later.”“Okay.” Carvalho nodded and he asked again, “Master Xanthos, I wonder if there’s anything else?”“No.” Falco smiled slightly and said, “This is the only matter. Sorry for making you go through all that trouble to come all the way here, Master Mason. I was also worried that other people would overhear our conversation. I hope that you will not take this to heart.”Carvalho sneered in his heart. Couldn’t he see right through Falco’s thoughts? This guy was not

At this moment, Isaac’s subordinates were waiting in the dark at the entrance of the hotel. They were just waiting for the great-grandfather and the great-grandson to come back so that they could do a backward tracing of their movements just now.Carvalho did not know that someone was already watching them.When the taxi stopped at the entrance of Shangri-La, Carvalho got out of the car with Mason’s help.Immediately afterward, the both of them, who were already exhausted, hurried back to their rooms to rest.As for Isaac’s subordinates as well as the young men from the Harker family, they used a car to chase after the taxi as they left the scene.A few minutes later, they forcefully stopped the taxi at an intersection. After that, one of Isaac’s subordinates came to the taxi driver’s car window as he looked at the taxi driver and spoke up, asking, “Where did you pick up the great-grandfather and great-grandson just now?”“This…”When the taxi driver saw that this person did not

Isaac realized that things might be getting a little serious, and he hurriedly arranged for his subordinates to follow the trail.The surveillance cameras at the entrance of Shangri-La were very comprehensive, and it could be said that there was a 360-degree coverage without any blind spots.So, Isaac’s subordinates quickly found the car license plate through the surveillance camera videos.Immediately after that, they found the taxi that was trying to get some passengers in the city through the city’s taxi positioning system.In order to form an absolute deterrent to the taxi driver, Isaac specially transferred Albert’s subordinate, Jayden Marquez, over so that Jayden could personally come forth and speak to the taxi driver.The taxi driver would not have expected to have alarmed one of the Four Great Guardians under Don Albert. So, even though he was very shocked and frightened at the same time, he immediately retold every detail of the circumstance that he could remember happen

“After that, he started a sect and recruited a wide range of disciples. He was in the limelight for some time. Many of the rich tycoons and mobsters in Hong Kong are his disciples…”“I’ve met this person a few times, and I’ve also drunk with him and chatted with him about the past and present times. So, I have a better understanding of him. He is very powerful, and he is not only proficient in the arts of mysterious Feng Shui, but he is also proficient in black magic and metaphysics. He is indeed very capable!”“He is not like Feng Shui masters like us who only know about mysterious Feng Shui, the Book of Changes, and the Eight Diagrams, but do not know anything about black magic, witchcraft, and other methods of killing people.” As Chandler spoke, he then said, “Falco Xanthos probably became Japheth Machen’s disciple more than thirty years ago. I also met him when I went to Hong Kong to visit Japheth Machen thirty years ago.”“Oh?” Charlie was very curious as he asked, “Since thi

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

Jacob zipped toward Raymond, his attitude immediately subservient, "I'm sure you've seen what Zachary Evans posted on his Twitter page, and to be honest, it's so terrible that my position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association has been affected too. I mean, you've made a lot of money, right?"Hell, even if you donated ten million, you'd still have another ten million and 970 thousand in net profits. So, all I'd like to ask is for you to post something to disclaim Zachary's post.Jacob's words left Raymond in thought.For Jacob, just being suspected of fraud would definitely be terrible. In fact, his position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association would definitely be threatened—if not dismissed altogether—if he wasn't cleared of suspicion.Since Jacob was Charlie Wade's father-in-law, Raymond had reason not to drive Jacob over the brink.But that also begged another question—it must be under Charlie's intention for Zachary to post his confession, and that meant Charlie in

Raymond couldn't help chuckling just as Jacob finished—he had honestly never heard of anyone who demanded a refund after donating to charity, but he was certainly seeing one now.Still, the receptionist was clearly experienced and slowly explained, "Sir, it's a legal clause of the country that all donations for philanthropy purposes can not be refunded under most circumstances—""It truly was a mistake," Jacob quickly said, cutting the receptionist off. "I was going to donate thirty thousand but pressed an extra zero by mistake. Please discuss this with your management—you just have to refund 27 thousand, see?""Sorry, sir," the receptionist apologized. "But it's a strict rule that we ourselves do not get to access the funds that have been donated into our accounts. Every donation will be screened extensively, and if you consider that there was a major oversight on your part, you may seek legal counsel to appeal for a refund. If the courts back your appeal, our organization will the

Nonetheless, Jacob darted into Treasure Measure and plucked off his mask, asking nervously, "Excuse me, Mr. Cole? It's me… Jacob Wilson…"Raymond looked up, pausing for a moment before acting as if he was actually curious, "Mr. Wilson! What brings you here? Don't tell me—you want that bronze sculpture back too?""No, no, no…" Jacob quickly shook his head. "I would never… I returned all the way from Dubai to apologize!""Apologize?" Raymond smiled faintly, and he did not play dumb this time as he asked bluntly, "Did you come back because of Zachary Evan's post?"Knowing he couldn't deny it any longer, Jacob nodded, "Yeah…"Raymond nodded and said calmly, "That's unnecessary. I was the one who benefited in the end."Jacob wasn't quite keeping up—thinking that Raymond was just trying to be nice by telling him he didn't have to apologize, he quickly pulled out his phone.Tapping on it and bringing up his transaction records, he handed it to Raymond reverently, "Mr. Cole, I understan

The cabbie chuckled. "You're a local yet you're heading to Antique Street right away as soon as you land instead of going home? And you're still saying you're not trying to pick up a killer bargain deal?"Come on, man—it's not just you, I want that too. We cabbies work ourselves to death only for ten thousand per month at best while our friend over there made twenty million in one night. I could keep driving cabs for the rest of my life and still not make that much money."Jacob knew that the cabbie must be talking about Raymond and became even more miserable then, grumbling unhappily, "I'm going to Antique Street for business—I'm not trying to pick up some missed bargain.""No? Then you didn't hear what happened yesterday?"The cabbie was immediately curious, and without waiting for Jacob's answer, he exclaimed happily, "Look, man—it was so ridiculous not even Hollywood would put it in their script. There were these fools who were trying to sell an antique trader a replica, but th
