That night, everyone who received the magical pill from Charlie could not sleep at all.Jasmine, who personally witnessed the miracle happening to her grandfather, was also very excited.When she thought about the magical pill that Charlie had given to her secretly, she could feel a warm current surging through her heart.She would never be able to forget Charlie’s kindness and generosity toward her.At this time, Aurora, the hot and spicy pepper of the Quinton family was also having insomnia as she thought about Charlie.After her father had received the two magical pills from Charlie, he had immediately given one of the pills to her as soon as they had gotten home. After that, Graham had told her to hide the precious pill well.Therefore, Aurora kept the pill close to her, and her body temperature and fragrance were already imprinted on the pill.Aurora was filled with happiness when she thought about the fact that this pill was given to her by Charlie.Meanwhile, Charlie, th

Douglas was a little hesitant as he said, “Well, I came to the Aurous International Auto Show today…”Charlie knew that Douglas was a fan of cars, and cars were one of his favorite things in this world. When he was still in college, he had saved up a month of his living expenses just so that he could go out of town to watch the auto show.Charlie smiled before he asked, “Did you go there to see cars again?”“Yes.” Douglas replied before he said, “This time, there are several world-class limited edition sports cars on display. It would be a rare opportunity for me to take a look at the cars.”After that, Douglas continued speaking, “Oh, by the way, I did not call you to tell you about cars.”Charlie replied, “Why are you looking for me, then?”Douglas hesitated for a moment before he said, “Well, I was just walking around the exhibition hall when I saw your wife.”“My wife?” Charlie asked in surprise. “Why did she go to the auto show?”“I do not know either,” Douglas replied imm

The host’s words stunned everyone present in the exhibition hall.These two cars were top-class luxury sports cars. There were just a few of these cars in the whole country, and an ordinary person could only see it in an auto show like this. The same man actually owned both of these cars?!Both of the luxury sports cars could not simply be bought with money!The Aston Martin ONE-77 could only be bought by members of the Aston Martin brand. Moreover, the member would only be eligible to buy the car if he already owned three or more Aston Martin sports cars worth more than tens of millions of dollars each.That was the basic qualification criterion for the member to be eligible to buy the car. The Aston Martin ONE-77 was very limited and there were only seventy-seven units of this car in the entire world. This particular one in the exhibition hall right now was the one and only Aston Martin ONE-77 in the country!It was even more difficult to buy the Bugatti Veyron Hermes special ed

Jason had always been interested in Claire, and he knew about Charlie’s existence, but he had never met him before.When he finally realized that the man standing in front of his was none other than Claire’s husband, Jason looked at Charlie before pretending to ask him curiously, “I wonder what you are doing now, Charlie?”Charlie simply replied, “I am a vagrant now.”There was a flash of disdain in Jason’s eyes as soon as he heard Charlie’s words. Truth be told, he had already had a good impression of Claire when she was still working for the Wilson Group. He had deliberately looked for Claire when he heard that she had already started her own business. Therefore, he was the one who had intentionally thrown out the order for the refurbishment of the convention and exhibition center before inviting Claire over here today.At this time, Jason felt as though he had to show off his status in front of Charlie. Therefore, he looked at Charlie before he smiled and said, “Charlie, I don’t

After he was done criticizing Charlie, Jason turned around and spoke to Claire. “Claire, I attach great importance to our collaboration this time. To express my sincerity toward you, you can pick any one of the luxury cars here today aside from the two cars in the center of the showroom. Pick any one of these cars since it is already time for you to replace the junk BMW 520 that you are driving right now. How about the Audi RS8? It is a very powerful car, and it is perfect for you!”Jason had been coveting Claire for a long time, and the reason he invited Claire over here today was that he wanted to use his wealth and power to win Claire over under the guise of renovating the convention and exhibition center.Jessica knew that Jason had always been interested in Claire. Therefore, she hurriedly said, “Claire, this is a token of appreciation from Mr. Grant. You should not refuse his kind gesture.”However, Claire rejected his offer immediately as she said, “Thank you, Mr. Grant, but

Jason walked past the crowd of people before walking toward the security guard and saying, “Brother, I am the deputy general manager of the Aurous Hill Convention and Exhibition Center. My family owns this convention and exhibition center. Could you allow me to step closer to appreciate the two cars at a closer distance?”“No!” One of the security guards who had recently retired from the army replied firmly. “Our boss has already instructed us not to allow anyone to approach the cars. Only the owner of the car is allowed to approach the cars!”Jason was very angry and frustrated at this moment.D*mn! He was really not allowed to touch the cars at all.This was extremely embarrassing. Moreover, this exhibition center was owned by his family!If he was truly not allowed to touch either of the two cars, wouldn’t that mean that he was exactly the same as Charlie?No! Jason could not afford to lose face to Charlie.Jason suppressed the frustration that he was feeling as he continued

At this time, a manager dressed in a suit hurried over as soon as he heard the commotion.There was a group of sturdy and muscular bodyguards following closely behind him.“What is happening? Who is causing a commotion here?”When Jason saw the manager, he asked him arrogantly, “Are you the person-in-charge?”“Yes.” The man nodded before he continued speaking, “I am the executive manager of the auto show exhibition. My name is Luke Marshall. You are?”Jason snorted before he said, “I am Jason Grant, the owner of the Aurous Hill Convention and Exhibition Center!”Luke nodded slightly before he replied, “So, you are Mr. Grant. What is the matter?”Jason spoke to him coldly, “Your subordinates are truly very incapable! I want to go up to the platform so that I can take a closer look at the cars, but he refused to let me do so. What do you mean by that? Are you looking down on me?”Luke smiled before he replied, “Sorry, Mr. Grant, but these two cars have already been bought by a cu

”Mr. Quinton, there is a Mr. Grant from the Aurous Hill Convention and Exhibition Center who is insisting on touching the Aston Martin ONE-77. There is a fight going on right now. What should I do now?”Graham was extremely shocked, and he immediately burst out, “I bought that car for Mr. Wade! I don’t care who wants to touch the cars. Other than Mr. Wade, no one else is allowed to touch the cars! If anyone tries to touch the car, I want the security guard to break his hand!”Luke hurriedly replied, “Mr. Quinton, the Aurous Hill Convention and Exhibition Center belongs to the Grant family. Wouldn’t it be a little too much if we did that?”“So what?! Who cares about the Grant family!” Graham yelled violently over the phone. “The Grant family is nothing to me! I am giving you an order right now. If that kid with the last name Grant dares to lay a finger on the car that I bought, I want you to get out of Aurous Hill, and you’d better pray that I never see you again!”Graham had just g

Zachary couldn't help pointing at the screen and snapping, "Fucking loser! The more you feel pressed, the less you should be nervous! What are you thinking?! You're falling right under that bastard's trap!"Jacob was frustrated too, growling through his teeth, "Shit! I didn't think that bastard was a sly old fox. Fucking hell!"He then sighed, shaking his head. "Forget it, Zachary—I'm going home to pack my shit, and I'll depart for Dubai first thing tomorrow. Just handle that bronze sculpture for me and wire the money over."As he was about to get off, Zachary sighed in exasperation and apologetically said, "Sorry, Mr. Wilson… but it's fine! Even if this plan screwed up, just let me cook up another plan to destroy Raymond Cole!"Jacob ignored him as he strode out of the car, but that was when Raymond spoke audibly from Zachary's phone, "You can calm down. I'm not accusing you of lying to me. I just think that it's not Renaissance… Rather, it's medieval.""E-Early medieval…?" Billy

In Treasure Measure, Raymond unwrapped the red cloth around the bronze sculpture in front of Billy and the camera.There was a brief flash of surprise on his face, and it was soon gone.Still, he picked up the bronze sculpture, fiddling with it as he asked, "Do you know where it's from?""Yeah," Billy nodded. "A Renaissance-era sculpture. I think the base makes it obvious."Raymond looked up at him and asked in curiosity, "Are you sure about that?"Billy, presuming that Raymond had already noticed a catch, quickly said, "Well, the old man had an expert check it, and the expert said it was immediately obvious! To be honest, I want to sell it because the old man just passed away—gotta sell this baby before my brother goes for a garage sale."He had certainly added more details to the script, and Raymond nodded as he said nonchalantly, "But it doesn't look Renaissance to me. Sculptures from that era—be it the craftsmanship or the unique attributes? It's quite different from this one

In the antique trade, items that raised eyebrows would only be shown in the evenings—when various shops were about to close.That was certainly the case in Antique Street, as most items arriving in the evening were either freshly excavated, stolen, or forgery used to dupe unsuspecting victims.Even if Raymond had started his career abroad, he had learned every last unspoken rule during his earlier stint in Aurous Hill.Seeing the wariness on Billy's face and the way he was holding something in his arms, Raymond knew right away that what he carried wasn't legal.Still, the antique trade was no different here than it was abroad.Tomb raiding, forgery, or adding some touch-ups that increased the value of an item—everyone across the globe pretty much played the same tricks, and Raymond had his fair share of experience.Still, he did not let his wariness show, instead grinning, "Yes, of course. Come on in—let's talk inside!"And with that, he quickly led Billy inside.Meanwhile, bot

"Five hundred grand?"Mick chuckled. "Well, the sculpture looks Renaissance, and the craftsmanship as well as the material are all ideal. It would sell for up to two million in an auction, while established antique traders like us could offer up to a million. So, why the lowball?"Bill sighed. "I won't lie—it belonged to my old man, who just croaked this afternoon. But you see, he left a will stating that every antique in the house would be given to my brother… Since he's playing favorites, I thought I had to get something for myself.""That's why I quietly sneaked this baby out without anyone else knowing and am trying to sell it quickly to change my own circumstances. You don't have to tell me how many millions it's worth—I'm not that greedy. Give me five hundred grand, and it's yours."Mick shrugged as he shot back, "If it's as you say and your old man intended for your brother to have it, the fact that you sneaked it out here makes this theft. Do you think I'd buy stolen proper

It was half past six, and the skies were darkening when a figure hurried into Antique Street, heading straight toward the center—to Vintage Deluxe.Mick Crane, the manager, was holding the fort with some of his employees, and there were some guests window shopping there as well. As Mick asked the employees to assist the guests, he waited anxiously for Billy—Zachary's henchman.Nonetheless, a certain figure rushed inside within minutes, asking eagerly as he entered, "Is the manager in? Do you still buy antiques?""Yes, and yes!" Mick exclaimed as he approached Billy enthusiastically, asking, "May I ask what you're planning to sell?"Billy looked around before sneakily holding up a parcel wrapped in red cloth, carefully lifting a corner to reveal an edge so that Mick could see.Then, he promptly lowered the cloth again, whispering, "This is the good stuff. I'm just not sure if you have the money to buy it."Mick grinned. "What are you saying? If it's something Vintage Deluxe coul

Jacob chuckled. "Can't tell you right now. But I will once it's done.""Well, have you decided when we're going to Dubai?" Elaine quickly pressed.Jacob said, "I'd have to wait until tonight to see if this deal works, but we're leaving first thing tomorrow. I'll get the tickets first, and we will be staying at the Burj Al-Arab that I told you about. People are always saying how amazing it is on the internet every day, seeing how luxurious the seven-star hotel is, but I'll be the judge of that."Elaine was overjoyed to hear that. "That's amazing! And I was just thinking we can't go sooner! Go about your business, then. I'll pack our luggage right away."Jacob chuckled smugly. "Don't pack so much, though. Just stick to the necessities, since we can get the rest over there!""Alright!" Elaine exclaimed, beside herself in excitement. "Alright, you hurry up and get your thing done over there. I'll start packing now!"After hanging up, Elaine called Charlie, who was in Champs Elys Reso

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
