Every time he won, the defeated party would always beg bitterly and pitifully as he was doing now. He had never shown any mercy toward them before.Now, it seemed as though things had turned around, and it was finally Hunter’s turn to beg others to spare his life!And Charlie was obviously not ready to let him go!Charlie looked at Hunter, and the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up slightly, revealing a playful and cruel smile. Hunter’s heart instantly felt cold as if he had fallen into an ice cave when he saw the sudden strange smile on Charlie’s face.Although Hunter did not know what Charlie wanted to do to him, Hunter realized that he was done for!Just then, Charlie used his right hand to grab both of Hunter’s fists, and he suddenly turned his wrist!Immediately afterward, Hunter felt as if both of his arms were being pushed into a powerful meat grinder. Right after that, both his arms were twisted together like a braid!The severe pain started from his wrists and
Who would have thought that Charlie would destroy all of Hunter’s meridians at the same time when he was breaking his arms?Charlie was actually able to easily destroy Hunter’s meridians and destroy his entire cultivation base without making a sound. This was simply the crushing difference between a human and an ant.At this moment, everyone from Ten Thousand Armies was in despair. On the other hand, the people around Charlie could not wait to cheer out of joy.As for Cadfan, who was draped in mourning clothes, he felt as if his body was collapsing at this point, and his hands and feet were trembling involuntarily. He truly did not expect that there would be such a powerful existence in the Wade family. He had relied on Ten Thousand Armies, and he had thought that Ten Thousand Armies would absolutely be able to crush Charlie completely. Unexpectedly, Ten Thousand Armies was no match for Charlie at all!He suddenly thought of how both of his granddaughters as well as his eldes
Hunter’s heart was filled with shame and anger after getting the paper roll stuffed into his mouth. However, he could only obey and smoke the paper roll desperately. Still, the smoke produced by the burning of this joss paper could never be compared to the flavorful Cuban cigar. After taking the first puff, Hunter choked because of the smoke, and he was coughing as his tears and snot gushed out at the same time.Charlie glared at him and sneered, “Why have you lost the style and arrogance that you had when you were talking nonsense while smoking your cigar and blowing clouds at me yesterday?” Hunter thought of his arrogant appearance yesterday, and he could not help but shudder.When Charlie saw the frightened look on his face, he continued speaking, “Don’t forget that you also killed one of the Wade family’s bodyguards with a cigar! Even if it’s a life for a life, I will also have to kill you today!” After saying that, Charlie paused for a moment before he continued, “Don’t yo
Porter instantly had a shocked expression on his face when he heard Charlie’s words!Immediately afterward, Porter clenched his teeth and said coldly, “Charlie Wade! Who gave you so much courage?! You actually dare to disrespect the spirits of my parents in heaven?!”Charlie sneered and said, “I really did not expect that the infamous so-called lord from Ten Thousand Armies would be nothing more than a hypocritical b*stard with double standards!” After saying that, Charlie said, “You were the one who had been yelling and threatening to destroy my parents’ bones and ashes. You were disrespecting my parents’ spirits in heaven, but you’re actually refusing to allow anyone else to return the favor by doing the same as you did? Why? Could it be that you are stronger as compared to me? Or is it because you think that you’re doing better than me?”Porter suddenly had a guilty conscience, and he was at a loss as to how he should answer Charlie.He knew very well that he was the one who h
The Golden-Furred Lion King, who was also a six-star martial artist just like Hunter, was actually killed because a pebble that the other party had kicked had pierced through his brain!This made all of those soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies who had wanted to swarm forward and fight to the death against Charlie subconsciously take a few steps back. At the same time, the impulse that they had desperately felt to fight Charlie just now instantly died down because of Charlie’s move!These people were all terrified. They knew that since Charlie could kill the Golden-Furred Lion King with just one move, Charlie would definitely be able to kill any of them easily using the same method!Porter was also completely stunned!He finally realized the gap between Charlie and himself at this moment.Porter knew that if Charlie were to take action, he might not be able to survive even one blow in Charlie’s hand!At this moment, Charlie, who had just killed someone, looked at Hunter with a fr
After Charlie’s sentence came, the Black-Faced Panther King was scared out of his wits!He subconsciously retreated several steps backward. After that, he suddenly turned around and desperately tried to run down the mountain.He had seen Charlie’s ability just now when Charlie had killed the Golden-Furred Lion King.Charlie could kill a six-star martial artist with just a single pebble.If he did not run now, he was afraid that he would only be repeating the Golden-Furred Lion King’s mistake. However, as soon as he had just turned around and before he had even taken two steps, he felt an instantaneous pain at the back of his head, followed by the loss of all consciousness.The Black-Faced Panther King died a very quick death, and he was killed as fast as a flash of lightning, so he did not suffer much pain. Still, in the eyes of the other soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies, the death of the Black-Faced Leopard King was really too miserable!Charlie had used a mere pebble to pe
How would he know who this man who was wearing a black gunny sack over his head really was?!He did not have fluoroscopic eyes!Furthermore, Charlie had already sealed in Zayne’s consciousness long ago. Therefore, Porter could not sense even a little of Zayne’s cultivation base at all.So, Porter looked at Charlie and spoke up to ask, “Who exactly is this person?”Charlie sneered. “Why? You cannot recognize your own capable right-hand man just because his face is covered?”Porter was even more confused.Although Charlie had already suggested that this man was his capable right-hand man, Porter had never once thought that it could be Zayne at all. This was because in the cognition of all of the soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies, Zayne was bound to be in the Middle East, and it was highly improbable that he could be in Oskia. When Charlie saw the surprised look on Porter’s face, he sneered and ripped off the black gunny sack over Zayne’s head. When Porter as well as the other
The appearance of the Green-Eyed Wolf King, Zayne, who was the second expert of Ten Thousand Armies, as he broke down emotionally and cried so miserably felt like a heavy punch had landed on the hearts of everyone from Ten Thousand Armies!Although they did not know what it felt like to have their consciousness imprisoned in their bodies, seeing Zayne’s current appearance caused them to feel extremely terrified to the core of their being because of this unknown feeling.No one dared to imagine how helpless they would feel and how it would feel like to live a life that was worse than death if such a thing were to happen to them.They would truly be helpless, hopeless, and without any aid at all…It was also at this moment that they suddenly felt a complete hellish fear of Charlie in the depths of their hearts. They had originally thought that three out of the Four War Kings had been destroyed in Charlie’s hands, and another one had been destroyed in the Middle East.However, who
"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,
