The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 3355
At five o’clock the next morning.There was a faint mist covering the early morning in Eastcliff because it had been raining all night as well as due to the humid climate unique to the Tomb Sweeping Festival. After spending the entire night in front of his parents’ grave, Porter forced out all the remaining residual alcohol in his body before burning three incense sticks and groveling three times in front of his parents’ grave.Immediately after that, Porter had a firm expression on his face as he said, “Dad! Mom! I’m sorry to disturb your peace and rest today! I hope that your spirits in heaven will understand and forgive me for my actions! I am going to move the both of you up to Mount Wintry today, and that will be your new resting place!” After saying that, Porter’s eyes were filled with tears. He choked up and said, “Dad! Mom! I will definitely avenge the both of you today! I will destroy Curtis Wade’s bones and ashes in front of the both of you! I hope that your spirits in

They intended to change into their mourning clothes and turn their backs to switch allegiance directly on the spot in case Lord Wade truly refused to submit and admit defeat when the time came. They would also agree to all of Ten Thousand Armies’ requirements on the spot, then.In any case, their lives were the most important.Jeremiah did not have any confidence in his heart either. He could only gather everyone so that they could head up to Mount Wintry first while he placed all of his hopes on Charlie.***At 6.20 am, Charlie got into Stephen’s car. The three members of the Golding family were seated in another car driven by Yule himself as they headed up to Mount Wintry together with Charlie.As he drove, Stephen said to Charlie, “Young Master, last night, Young Master Felix and Young Master Hugh, as well as your fourth uncle and eldest aunt, secretly slipped out of the house. My men followed them all the way and found out that they were buying varying quantities of mourning c

When they saw Charlie kneeling on one knee, all of these men who had been loyal to Curtis all this time hurriedly came forward to support him. Each of them was already in tears.Amongst them, one of them, who was the oldest, was in tears as he said, “Young Master, please don’t! We are not worthy! We are all your subordinates, so how can we accept such a big gift from you?!”Charlie said firmly, “All of you were my father’s old subordinates, and you are all still here today. That means that you have been very kind to the Wade family, and I, Charlie Wade, feel very grateful for that!”The old man hurriedly said, “Young Master, this is what we should do! In fact, when Master Curtis met with an accident back then, as his subordinates, all of us were not able to stay by his side and do our best for him. That was our negligence! For so many years now, a single day has not gone by where we do not feel guilty about it. Now that you’ve finally come back, it could be considered as you giving

Charlie got down from the car, and when he saw that there were only so few people at the scene, he asked coldly, “Didn’t you say that there would be a total of more than seven hundred members of the Wade family from all over the world who would be attending the ancestor worship ceremony today? Where have all of them gone now?” Jeremiah said awkwardly, “Charlie, as the saying goes, all of them had already fled as soon as they heard of the upcoming catastrophe. They know that we would not be able to escape this time and so, they naturally would not want to accompany us and die together with us. It is only natural for them to have left overnight.”Charlie snorted and said indifferently, “Where is the big list of names from yesterday? Bring it to me.”Charlie’s eldest uncle, Clayton, stepped forward in a somewhat depressed manner, and he handed a thick roster over to Charlie as he said angrily, “Here! Take a look at it for yourself.”Charlie threw the roster directly at Clayton and sa

Very soon, several off-road vehicles with Aurous Hill car license plates drove up from the bottom of the mountain.When Felix saw that these cars had Aurous Hill car license plates, Felix immediately sneered and said to the several people in front of him, “Look! What I’ve said was right. How can these pathetic people from that kind of small place possibly be able to play any role at all? They are not even worthy enough to be sent here to die!”The several people around him seemed to have very agreeable expressions on their faces. All of them felt that no matter what kind of help Charlie tried to bring at this time, he would only end up in failure when facing Ten Thousand Armies. Several off-road vehicles stopped, and a young woman who sported a high ponytail and was wearing a black training suit immediately jumped out of the passenger seat of the first car.When the members of the Wade family saw this woman, all of their eyes were wide opened in an instant. This was not only bec

Holden said immediately, “They are in the car at the back! I’ve already gagged them, and at the same time, I’ve placed black gunny sacks over their heads.” “Good.” Charlie nodded and spoke up, “Lord Harker, please arrange for someone to bring them out and escort them to my parents’ grave first. Make them kneel respectfully.”As he spoke, Charlie then instructed, “In addition, do not remove the black gunny sacks from their heads first. I want to save this suspense until the last moment!”“As you command!”Holden replied respectfully before immediately arranging for several members of the Harker family to bring Sheldon as well as Zayne down from the off-road vehicle at the back.The members of the Wade family were all extremely astonished when they saw the members of the Harker family bringing two men with black gunny sacks over their heads out of the car.They did not know the identities of these two men, nor did they know the reason why Charlie would bring these two men, who see

Seven o’clock sharp.The Waldron family’s ancestral grave. Porter and all the other War Generals from Ten Thousand Armies had already changed into their white mourning clothes made out of burlap.This funeral procession of one hundred men was already set to depart.Cadfan, who had gotten drunk last night, also woke up early, and he hurriedly arrived at the Waldron family’s ancestral grave. According to the original plan, Cadfan was supposed to follow the funeral procession up to Mount Wintry together with Porter.Today, Cadfan was already feeling extreme and intolerable excitement deep in his heart. As soon as he arrived at the Waldron family’s ancestral grave, Cadfan found Porter, who was dressed in white mourning clothes, and he sighed as he said, “Porter! What you did yesterday is already known amongst all the wealthy and reputable families in Eastcliff! No one would have expected that you would make such a great comeback after you have already left for twenty years. If yo

The crowd also shouted in unison, “We will deal with and kill anyone who dares to stand in our way!” Porter immediately shouted out loud, “Everyone is here! Let’s go!”After saying that, Porter slammed the brazier in his hand to the ground with a bang, and all of the black and gray ashes scattered everywhere.Immediately after that, eight five-star War Generals who were dressed in mourning clothes lifted the two coffins.Besides that, there were also more than a hundred experts from Ten Thousand Armies who had solemn expressions on their faces amidst the sound of the Suona horn as they marched in a neat pace toward Mount Wintry!***Meanwhile, on Mount Wintry. The members of the Wade family were all staring at the hands on their own respective watches. There was only less than an hour left for them.Clayton became more and more restless, and his eyes were constantly secretly looking at the large pile of supplies prepared for the ancestor worship ceremony that was placed

"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,
