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

Meanwhile, Carvalho and Mason were deeply worried and anxious as they sat inside the Shangri-La hotel room.Mason had not recovered from the appalling experience just now, and he was in a very poor mental state at this time.Carvalho had not spoken either, and he was holding a few copper coins in his hand as he kept tossing them on the tabletop.The hexagram presented by the copper coins was no longer a hexagram that Carvalho could understand. This made Carvalho feel a little doubtful. There was always the presence of a good opportunity in the hexagram, but at the same time, danger had never been eliminated. Even the vague sense of the unknown was even stronger than it ever was before.Unconsciously, Carvalho’s mentality also began to change gradually. He originally felt that he was taking advantage of Cadfan’s invitation to come to Oskia to make some money on the side while seeking his good opportunity.It would not matter even if he could not find the good opportunity and fort

Mason could not help but say, “Great-grandpa, it is not the time to be worrying about others now. The most important thing for us right now is to hurry up and leave Aurous Hill safely. If Falco decides to feed the both of us to that big white worm, we will be completely done for!”Carvalho hesitated for a moment before he nodded gently and sighed as he said, “Sigh. You've got a point. We are already at the point where we are unable to fend for ourselves, so we can only find a way to protect ourselves…”After he was done speaking, Carvalho said again, “We will find a way to contact Sophie Schulz tomorrow and see if we can find a breakthrough from her.”***The next day, a rumor suddenly appeared amongst the people of Aurous Hill.It was said that a paranormal incident had occurred at the Mount Phoenix cemetery and that a security guard who was guarding the cemetery had been killed by an evil spirit last night.However, this kind of rumor was quickly controlled in a targeted manner

When Isaac received the message, he replied immediately: [Young Master, do you want me to find this person’s photo and send some men out to search around for clues about him?]Charlie hurriedly instructed: [Don’t! This person is extremely dangerous, and your subordinates are definitely not his opponent. Even the masters from the Harker family might not even be his opponents!]Isaac hurriedly asked him: [Young Master, the pair of great-grandfather and great-grandson duo who went to the Mount Phoenix Cemetery that you asked us to track down last night and the strange death of the security guard at the Mount Phoenix Cemetery should be related to this person, right?]Charlie replied: [Yes. So, don’t tell anyone else about this matter. Just help me find out some clues. Do not let anyone else find out about this, and do not send anyone out to find him. Otherwise, you will only be sending your subordinates to their death.]Isaac responded: [I got it, Young Master!]Isaac had already obta

“Okay!” Claire smiled sweetly and said, “I’ll get off the car first, then!”After Charlie had said goodbye to Claire, he drove directly to Shangri-La.Charlie called Isaac on the way there and asked him, “Mr. Cameron, have Carvalho and his great-grandson left Shangri-La yet?”Isaac hurriedly said, “Young Master, they are having breakfast in the restaurant now. They have already washed up and dressed up neatly. I’m guessing they are going to leave directly after they are done eating later.”Charlie then said, “I’ll arrive in about ten minutes. Help me stall them if they are going to leave.”Isaac asked, “Young Master, where do you want to meet them? Do you want me to arrange for security to bring them to my office?”Charlie instructed, “No need. We will only be alerting the enemies, then. Arrange for the customer service personnel to use the universal room card to enter their room and casually rummage through their belongings. After that, ask the customer service personnel to rand

Carvalho hurried back to his room with Mason’s help.At this time, his room was a complete mess.Both Carvalho and Mason’s suitcases had been opened and rummaged through, and his Feng Shui compass, which he had wrapped up in silk and placed inside the suitcase, had unexpectedly disappeared into thin air.Moreover, the Oskian dollars that he had exchanged as well as some emergency US dollars that Carvalho had placed into his suitcase when he came to Oskia with Mason were all still inside the suitcase itself.Carvalho was immediately extremely nervous as he blurted out and said to Mason, “We did not lose any of our cash or anything else, but we lost the compass…”Although Mason was not well-learned, he also knew very well that this compass was the Mason family’s heirloom. It was said that the compass had been passed on to this day from the first generation of the Mason family’s ancestors who had engaged in Feng Shui and metaphysics.Even if the value and price of this compass were

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,

Zachary nodded repeatedly. "Mr. Montague? Very well!""Yes!" Jacob grinned smugly. "Longer last names are simply better—it just sounds so authoritative."With that agreed upon, both men alighted, where the master was waiting nearby.Seeing them get off, he hurried over to them, smiling, "Please, follow me."Zachary looked around and huffed, "Honestly, Mr. Cardensky, isn't this way too far from the highway? The road is narrow and terrible, and I have to park my car all the way out here. Just coming here is taxing."Mr. Cardensky smiled in turn. "My friend, that's exactly why we picked this place. Do you remember seeing a couple of cars parked by the road, occupying half of it?""We arranged for them to be there. Anyone coming by car would have to slow down that way, buying time for us to see who they truly are. If it's cops, our watchers would quietly text us while we clean the house and bail."Zachary exclaimed in realization, "You boys really run a tight ship!""For sure," Mr.

After working in Antique Street for years, Zachary's connections and influence were naturally special. And yet, though he was acquainted with some of the more impressive individuals, he was not that close with them either.For example, the forgery masters who worked specifically to deceive experts only accepted jobs from major clients, usually antique traders high in social status and wealth.In contrast, they wouldn't ever be interested in frivolous people like Zachary. Even if he could reach them, they might not look at him twice.If one would describe them as the cartel boss, then Zachary would be a low-level enforcer, managing night joints or goofing off.But now, Zachary had turned over a new leaf—he worked under Don Albert, so one of those masters was pleasantly surprised when he called one of them, inviting him to his own workshop for a visit and further discussion.As such, Zachary picked up Jacob and went over to the master's hideout where the latter worked on his count

Zachary was naturally shrewd enough to read Jacob's intention.In reality, he wasn't offering to pay just because he wanted the profit. He merely wanted to get in Jacob's good graces. After all, wouldn't Jacob be even more grateful that he wasn't just helping his revenge but also helping him make money?As such, he didn't hesitate to tell Jacob, "Well, chief—since you'll be paying, I will make sure that you will get every cent of profit that you deserve."Jacob was grinning ear-to-ear, but he said, "Oh, you don't have to! If we really are making a profit, there's no way I would let your good work go unrewarded!"Spreading his arms, he continued generously, "How about this? I will pay the full cost while you get twenty percent of the net profit!"Zachary laughed. "Now, that can wait, chief. We need to pay as soon as we decide on the item we want, and there's no time for buyer's regret. But if Raymond doesn't take the bait, all that money will go down the drain, and whether we can s
