Zayne had revealed everything that he knew about Ten Thousand Armies without any reservations in his confession.Charlie skipped the part of Zayne’s confession where he spoke about their attempt and plot against Syria this time because he already knew all about this. However, what he was even more curious about was the exact situation within Ten Thousand Armies. According to Zayne’s confession, the founder of Ten Thousand Armies was a man named Porter Waldron. The main reason why he could form Ten Thousand Armies at such a young age and develop and grow the organization was all thanks to a noble person whom he had met overseas back then. The identity of this noble man was very mysterious, and the vast majority of the soldiers in Ten Thousand Armies did not even know of his existence at all. Only Porter and a few of the other core members of Ten Thousand Armies knew of his identity, and they respectfully referred to him as the founder.The real identity of this founder was actual

Was it Lord Jeremiah Wade? Or could it be his eldest uncle, Clayton, or some other member of the Wade family?In Charlie’s opinion, Porter was about the same age as himself. So, if it was really the Wade family who had caused his parents’ deaths, this must have happened at least ten to twenty years ago.At that time, in addition to his grandfather and uncle, there was another mainstay in the Wade family, and that was his own father, Curtis. Therefore, Charlie could not help but secretly wonder if Porter’s enemy could be his own father? However, Zayne would not know the answer to this question. So, it would be pointless for Charlie to ask him about it.Immediately after that, Charlie suddenly thought of the Wade family’s upcoming ancestor worship ceremony. If Porter suddenly decided to seek revenge on the Wade family at this time, could it be that he had specifically chosen to seek his revenge during the ancestor worship ceremony, then?After all, this was a grand ceremony tha

Charlie could not help but frown when he heard Stephen’s words, and he asked rhetorically, “Since that Leonardo Waldron was the one who took the initiative to provoke my father and since my father defeated him in a just and fair manner, what has the fact that Leonardo Waldron who could not accept his own failure and decided to commit suicide have anything to do with my father?”After saying that, Charlie then said firmly, “My father does not have even a shred of responsibility for his death at all! As for the fact that his wife took poison and committed suicide, that is even more unrelated to my father, then! If Leonardo Waldron had not been so cowardly and chosen to commit suicide, his wife would not have chosen to die together with him either. So, Leonardo Waldron should be held responsible for his wife’s death! What does it have to do with my father?”Stephen sighed and said, “Young Master, your father has always been a very benevolent and righteous man. There have been many cases

Stephen hesitated for a moment before he persuaded, “Young Master, it would be better for you to attend if you are not too busy. Otherwise, I’m afraid that it would be a little awkward and difficult to explain your absence, then.”“No.” Charlie spoke with firm determination, “I do not want to have so much involvement with the Wade family. The ancestor worship ceremony this time is a private event. Besides that, I will be able to pay my respects to my parents, and that is the reason why I agreed to participate in the event. I will not be coming along to participate in any other events.”“Okay.” Stephen knew that it would be very difficult for him to persuade Charlie. So, he asked, “Young Master, when will you be coming over, then?”Charlie said indifferently, “I will arrive in Eastcliff on April 3rd.”“Okay!” Stephen said excitedly, “I will come and pick you up at the airport, then!”Charlie casually said, “We will talk about it again then. Mr. Thompson, there is still something th

By the time they left Hamed’s headquarters together, Hamed’s adjutant had also brought Sheldon, who was tied up, out of the bunker.Since there had been a war going on a few days ago, Hamed had been afraid that Sheldon would cause trouble or try to escape, and so, he had ordered his men to tie Sheldon up.Furthermore, Sheldon had also been locked up in the dark bunker because of the war, and he had not seen the sunlight for several days. He looked extremely disheveled, pale, and there was no color on his complexion at all.At this time, there was only the sunset outside, and Sheldon felt as if he was being reborn when he felt the golden rays falling upon him.He could not see Charlie clearly under the stimulation of the light, but he felt extremely emotional as he faced the setting sun and felt the warmth of the sun shining upon his body. In the past, Sheldon would never have dreamt that as the son of the extremely wealthy Schulz family, he would one day fall to the point where h

Charlie nodded. “Let’s go. We still have to catch a flight to Beirut.”Charlie brought Zayne and Sheldon with him up onto Sayid’s helicopter. He then waved goodbye to Hamed and Sayid. The helicopter quickly took off and rushed to Beirut, the capital of Lebanon.At this time, Jeremiah’s subordinate, Gary, was already waiting anxiously in Beirut. He knew that Charlie’s trip this time was very dangerous. Moreover, Hamed and the government were in a stalemate, and there were tens of thousands of men surrounding Hamed’s base. The outside world had not received news of the peace negotiation between the two parties yet, and so, Gary was afraid that Charlie would be able to enter the base but could not come out.After the helicopter had taken off, Charlie called Gary and told him to hurry up and arrange for the Concorde’s flight crew to get ready for take off and that they would be taking off immediately in an hour. Gary was surprised and asked, “Young… Young Master, you’ve already left

When Porter saw his subordinate rushing in to give him a report in such a nervous and panicked state, Porter questioned him immediately, “What has happened? Why are you making such a big fuss?!” The subordinate nearly cried out as he said out loud, “Lord! The government has just announced a piece of major news to the world! They have arrested all of our fifteen thousand men from Ten Thousand Armies for endangering national security!”Porter’s first thought was that this was simply impossible. How could such a powerful elite force of his own, who was being led by Zayne, the Green-Eyed Wolf King, possibly be arrested by the soldiers from the government, who were lacking in guns and ammunition? Who had ever heard of tens of thousands of peasants being able to take fifteen thousand regular troops as their prisoners?!Wasn’t this just a big joke?!As he thought about this, he could not help but frown as he asked, “It’s the 1st of April today. It’s April Fools Day. You’re not here t

“You should know that any country in the world regards the crime of endangering national security as the worst and most serious crime, and it is a crime that is second to none! The highest sentence for this crime is the death sentence, and even the lowest sentence would be imprisonment for ten years or more. In that case, I’m afraid that we would have to spend billions or even up to tens of billions of dollars in compensation alone!”Hunter could not help but feel a little alarmed. He knew that even though a mercenary organization such as Ten Thousand Armies seemed to be very powerful, in actual fact, a large part of its powerful nature came from the power of money.Now that something as big as this had happened, if Ten Thousand Armies did not take out money to set things right, the remaining thirty thousand to forty thousand mercenaries might start to keep their distance from Ten Thousand Armies, one after the other. After all, these mercenaries did not have any loyalty to any mer

"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

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,
