Meanwhile, Sophie had already left Shangri-La, and she had arrived at the old mansion that her mother had bought at the auction.Helen had already contacted a local renovation company, and she was already planning to renovate the old mansion. She was also looking forward to moving into the old mansion as soon as possible after the renovation had been completed. Thus, she had been extremely concerned over this matter.When Sophie arrived at the entrance of the old mansion, Helen was in the courtyard, and she was in high spirits as she talked to the designer about her renovation plans.Sophie was overjoyed when she saw the happy look on her mother’s face through the fence gate.She knew that her mother was indeed going to live for herself from now on.It was not just her mother.Sophie felt that she was also going to live for herself from now on. She would no longer be restrained by the Schulz family, and she would strive to live the way she wanted to. Helen was explaining the di

After pausing for a moment, the female designer said, “Besides, the boston ivies will also have particularly good heat insulation effect and sun protection. The temperature inside the house can also be lowered by a few degrees during the summer.”At this time, Helen could already see the lush appearance of the wall that was filled with the boston ivies, and she said excitedly, “That’s really great, then! I can already imagine how beautiful it would be at that time when the grass in the courtyard is also a large piece of green land coupled with the red brick walls and the green boston ivies!”The female designer nodded and said, “There will also be moss growing on the stone path in your courtyard when it rains in the summer. So, it will certainly be even more beautiful then, but you will have to pay more attention and be careful so that you do not slip when you walk.”As she spoke, the female designer looked at the time and said, “Aunt Dunn, I’ve understood all of your needs, so why

When she heard her mother’s words, Sophie was in an extremely good mood. She held her mother’s arm, and she could not hide her excitement as she said, “Mom, my benefactor called Grandpa in front of me today. Charlie told Grandpa that he was going to look for him to settle the score with him over the phone, and Grandpa was scared out of his wits…”“Is that so?” Helen could not help but ask, “Was Charlie seriously prepared to go and look for your grandfather to settle the score with him?”“Not exactly.” Sophie explained, “My benefactor felt that it would not do him any good if he were to go and settle the score with Grandpa now. On the contrary, he would only be doing my uncles and aunts as well as the Wade family a favor by giving them a huge benefit.”“Yes.” Helen agreed as she said, “There are so many people in the Schulz family who are looking forward to your grandfather meeting with a mishap as compared to Charlie. If Charlie were to really do something to him, the other members

Sophie hesitated for a moment and shook her head.She did not want to tell her mother that her elder brother had already completely switched allegiance to their grandfather’s side. After all, this was only her own speculation, and everyone had their own will. Her elder brother had made his own choice by choosing to pledge his loyalty to their grandfather, and there was no excuse for it.So, she explained, “Quinn Golding’s concert will start in a few days, and my brother will be busy during that time.”Helen nodded slightly and said, “Your brother seems to have genuine feelings for Quinn Golding.”“Yes.” Sophie said, “He has already liked Quinn Golding for a very long time, and he had always been looking for opportunities to get closer to her and confess his feelings for her.”Helen sighed and said, “That young lady from the Golding family is indeed very good, but it’s just that…”Sophie asked curiously, “Just what?”Helen paused for a moment and said emotionally, “It’s just that

When Helen heard these words, it was as if she was deep in thought as she said, “Based on your analysis, it is estimated that there is a 99% chance that the young lady from the Golding family came to Aurous Hill because of Charlie…”Sophie immediately felt a sense of panic.“I originally thought that my benefactor’s wife would be my biggest competitor. However, I would have never imagined that there would also be Quinn Golding, who is extremely popular all over the world…”“Moreover, Quinn Golding has a much greater advantage as compared to me…”“What’s more, the Golding family and the Wade family are family friends. Quinn Golding and Charlie also have a long-standing marriage contract. In comparison, I really do not have any advantage at all…”When Helen saw the lost expression on Sophie’s face, she comforted her, “Sophie, you should not think too much about this. Things such as feelings are not necessarily measured by the number of advantages. Some people might not be able to wi

When Hiroshi saw that Charlie was taking the initiative to greet him, he was immediately very flattered, and he said, “Hello, Mr. Wade! It has been a long time since we last met. I really did not expect that you would still remember me…”Charlie laughed and said, “My memory is not that bad. So, how could I not remember you?”After he was done speaking, he asked Yahiko, “I wonder how the both of you are feeling after coming to Oskia?”“Pretty good!” Yahiko said seriously, “Tanaka and I might be permanently disabled, but we are still firm in spirit. Over these few days, the both of us have been participating in various sports everywhere such as playing golf, bowling, and even swimming in the swimming pool when we had nothing to do. The doctor said that people in our situation should exercise more not just to improve our physical fitness, but most importantly, to speed up the ‘break in’ of the prostheses.”Hiroshi also nodded repeatedly and said, “The doctor said that if our physical

Yahiko felt inexplicably excited because of Charlie’s sentence that hinted that there might be a chance in the future.Although he knew that modern medicine was already very advanced, it was still simply impossible to achieve the regeneration of severed limbs.Moreover, at the moment, modern technology was simply unable to achieve a breakthrough for a one hundred percent cell recovery. This was also the reason why there would always be a scar after a wound, and why the skin would never go back to the way that it was before the injury.If there was just a slight cut on the wrist, after the wound recovered, the scar would still be there for a lifetime. So, how could it be possible for amputated legs to actually regenerate?Not to mention the regeneration of the legs, but even after the amputation of both legs, the two large scars that were the size of a bowl at the base of the thighs could not even be made to look consistent with the skin on the other parts of the body.Yahiko had a

When Charlie saw Nanako walking in, he smiled and said, “I came to see Mr. Ito, and I was also asking Mr. Ito to do me a favor.”Nanako hurriedly asked, “Then, has your matter already been resolved, Charlie-kun? Do you need my help?”Charlie smiled and said, “It has already been settled. I was just catching up with Mr. Ito.”Yahiko hurriedly waved at his daughter and said excitedly, “Nanako, Mr. Wade just told me that he might have a way to restore my legs to their original state in the future!”“Seriously?!” Nanako’s eyes widened, and she was extremely shocked and excited as she looked at Charlie and blurted out, “Charlie-kun, do you truly have a way to restore my father to his original state?”Charlie smiled as he spoke up, “There will be an opportunity to do so, but the time is not right yet.”When Nanako heard this, she was extremely happy as she said, “That’s wonderful! There will certainly be a chance if Charlie-kun says that there is a chance!”Yahiko was in a good mood,

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
