The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 3441
After all, Porter had just taught the Wade family a huge lesson, but at this time, Charlie was actually using Porter’s name to scare others now. This was indeed very untrustworthy.Aman, who was sitting next to Helena, had a smile on his face as he said, “Mr. Wade, the marriage contract is, in itself, just a contract. You can choose to perform, and of course, you can also choose not to perform. If both parties had set a clause for a breach of contract, the non-performing party will pay for the compensation in accordance with the clause, then. If there is no clause specified for a breach of contract, the parties can decide freely! We are all civilized people, so there is no need to make such personal threats, right?” Charlie frowned and said, “Did I ask you? Who do you think you are? Do you have the right to speak here?”Aman did not expect that Charlie, who was just a young man, would actually dare to publicly humiliate him on this occasion!Charlie looked like he was in his twent

The reason why Charlie had hit Aman was, in fact, because he wanted to set an example for the Northern European royal family so that they would not be so pretentious anymore in front of him. Moreover, Charlie was not afraid to reveal his identity. After all, there were only ten to twenty people here today. As long as he wanted to, he would be able to press all these people down on the ground hard, save the dying queen, and then put Helena on the throne.Immediately after that, he could get Helena to sentence them to any kind of crime and have all of them arrested, one after the other. Otherwise, Charlie could also give each of these key figures a psychological hint so that they would behave erratically in the future, and no one would be able to find out the problem.However, Charlie would never have thought that Richard would be so good at brainstorming and that he would be able to think of the fact that Charlie had Ten Thousand Armies to back him up. It was just that the specu

The stronger Charlie was, the more determined and firm he was in his judgment that Charlie had Ten Thousand Armies to back him up, and that was the reason why Charlie dared to be so arrogant. The more it was so, the more he was afraid that Charlie would really get angry. Otherwise, if Charlie were to really ask Ten Thousand Armies to deal with him, he would not be able to stand up to it at all.So, he hurriedly said, “Mr. Wade, it was my attitude that was problematic just now. I apologize to you. I also hope that you will be magnanimous and that you will not hold it against me…”Olivia did not expect that her father would give in to Charlie, and she blurted out, “Dad! How could you apologize to him?!”Richard reprimanded her nonchalantly, “Shut up!”Olivia did not expect her father’s attitude to change so quickly. She was just about to ask what was going on when Aman, who was next to Richard, had already begun slapping himself on his left and right cheeks. Charlie really scared

At this moment, Richard had already regarded Charlie as the God of Plague because of his own thoughts in his inner brain.Right now, he only wanted to stabilize the current situation and avoid having any new conflicts with Charlie. So, he secretly gave Olivia a warning look before he spoke up and asked Charlie, “Mr. Wade, shall we officially begin, then?”Charlie nodded slightly without speaking.Richard heaved a sigh of relief. It was only then that he hurriedly announced that this pre-wedding banquet for family and friends had officially begun.During the dinner, Richard put down his previous so-called royal stature, and he frequently toasted Charlie, and his expression and speech were extremely respectful.Olivia really did not understand what was going on and so, she came up with an excuse to call her father aside as she asked him in a low voice, “Dad, what’s wrong with you today? Why are you being so humble in front of Charlie?”Richard warned, “I’m afraid that the Wade fa

In the blink of an eye, five people had raised their hands.Walliot deliberately did not raise his hand immediately but instead, he waited until these people had eagerly come forward before saying, “Count me in too, then.”After he was done speaking, he looked at Charlie, and just as he was wondering what he should say to trick Charlie into playing the game, Charlie then took the initiative to raise his hand and said, “I also like to play Texas Hold’em Poker. Count me in.”Walliot was so excited that he almost cheered out loud.‘I was just trying to find an entry point to invite Charlie to join in this ruse as naturally as I possibly could, but I really did not expect Charlie to jump into it on his own.’‘Perfect!’After that, Walliot pretended to be polite as he said, “Mr. Wade, I really did not expect that you would like to play Texas Hold’em Poker too. In that case, we should play two rounds together for entertainment purposes, then.”Charlie also had a friendly expression on

Since the poker game had been brought up at the very last minute and the person who had suggested playing the card game had voluntarily given up his direct participation in the game, even volunteering to be the croupier, aside from Charlie and Olivia, the several other participants did not think about the aspect of cheating at all. Moreover, since the venue was the Northern European royal family’s own poker room and the playing cards were a brand-new and unopened product from the poker room’s inventory, no one had any doubts at all.In truth, there were actually no problems with the playing cards at all. The real problem was with the croupier.He was originally an expert in gambling, and he had made quite a fortune by gambling. Even if he were to play cards with professionals, he could cheat unnoticed, let alone when he was facing a group of amateur players.This person had very fast hands, very good memory, and excellent finger dexterity. It could be comparable to a close-range m

Charlie did not pay any attention to what cards he was actually dealt with, but as soon as the card came to him, he would immediately put a one-million-euro chip in. After a few rounds, Charlie then threw in four-million-euro chips, but it actually represented seventy million euros in total. The others were unable to adapt to the large bet for a while and so, they simply folded and watched the game.Charlie and Walliot were the only ones left at the table. Immediately afterward, the croupier spoke up and said, “Please show your cards!” Charlie flipped his bottom card over immediately, and his cards only consisted of a pair and three other miscellaneous cards. This was considered a very small hand in Texas Hold’em Poker. As for Walliot, he had a good hand in the first game. He had four Jacks and a miscellaneous card, which was a much bigger hand compared to Charlie. The croupier immediately announced, “Mr. Walliot wins this round.”Walliot was a little excited as he gathered

When Walliot saw that Charlie was a little angry, he was immediately nervous, and he hurriedly explained, “Mr. Wade, don’t get me wrong. I did not mean that…”As he spoke, Walliot then said, “I thought that our rules were still the same set of rules and that we would settle and pay up as soon as we lost one hundred million euros. But since you have already said so, I will not continue talking nonsense anymore. We will just settle and pay up when we lose one billion euros then, okay? If we do not lose up to one billion euros at the end of the game, we will just settle and pay up according to the amount that we have lost, then. What do you think?”Charlie nodded with satisfaction and smiled as he said, “That’s right! This is how a man should fucking talk! Otherwise, I would have thought that you were the kind of pathetic and poor person who has never seen money before and cannot wait to put the money in your pocket as soon as you’ve won just a little money.”As he spoke of this, Charl

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
