Charlie played steadily, and he put in another five million chips, leaving only two million chips on hand.Walliot wanted to force Charlie to hurry up and pay out a sum of money first and so, he immediately threw in ten million chips and spoke up, “Mr. Wade, I’ll bet one hundred million euros. You seem to be running out of chips already.”Charlie shrugged, and he threw his bunch of miscellaneous cards aside directly as he said, “I fold.”There was an uproar in the crowd. “He’s folding just like that?”“He has already bet one or two hundred million euros, but he is folding just like that?! Does this guy know how to play or not?”“If I would have known that he’s so stupid, I would have just played against him just now! I wouldn’t have let Walliot take all the money, then!” Walliot was about to laugh out happily at this moment, and he almost could not control his emotions anymore. So, after calming himself down for a long time, he finally said, “Mr. Wade, you don’t have any more
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 3450
The game that followed immediately had a new meaning now.When the cards were dealt, Charlie quickly received three Aces, two of which were on the bright side.As for Walliot, his cards were even more impressive. His cards were 10, J, Q, K, and they were all spades. When Walliot saw these cards, he instantly knew in his heart that the croupier should be planning to give him a flush while he gave Charlie four Aces.The biggest card in Texas Hold’em poker was the straight flush which would kill all other card combinations.Charlie had already exposed two of his best cards which were two Aces at this point, and the best combination of cards that he could possibly obtain would also be just four Aces.Even if Charlie had four Aces, it would be impossible for him to win a straight flush. Therefore, Walliot had no doubt that Charlie would lose this game and that he would win. However, it seemed as though Charlie did not believe in evil, and after a few rounds of betting, Charlie be

So, he said somewhat nervously, “M-Mr. Wade… In my opinion, we should not add on to this game anymore… Two billion euros is really a very big amount. Even if you do not take money seriously, you should not be throwing money away just like that…”Charlie laughed and said, “You’ve not even opened your card yet so how do you know for sure that I would be the one throwing money away, then?” Walliot said awkwardly, “Mr. Wade, I’m not joking with you. I really think that the chances of me winning this game are much greater than yours. Why don’t we just open the cards, and the person who wins will take all the chips on this table. We will not add anything else, okay?”Charlie forced a burst of laughter as he sneered and said, “I already said that you are as indecisive as a woman! I really did not describe you wrongly at all! You have already fucking won a billion euros from me, so what are you afraid of?”As he spoke, Charlie then said to Olivia, “Persuade this fiancé of yours. A man sho

At this moment, Walliot was already prepared to welcome three billion euros as well as a Concorde.Aside from Charlie, everyone at the scene was staring at the croupier’s hand with bated breath.This card would determine the final destination of the billions of euros on the table.Meanwhile, both Walliot and Olivia were certain that victory was in their hands. Charlie did not seem to mind it at all at this time, and he had a neither happy nor sad, neither hurried nor unhurried expression on his face. It was as if everything had nothing to do with him. The croupier then picked up the card and suddenly flipped it over before throwing it in front of Walliot.At this moment, Walliot had not seen exactly what that card was, but he was already stunned as if he had been struck by lightning. This was because… he could see that… his card… was red!Charlie’s four Aces were already displayed there, and if Walliot wanted to win, it would have to be a straight flush.The Ace of Spades w

After Charlie had spoken, he looked at the croupier and questioned him in a stern voice, “You! Tell us everything you know clearly!”The croupier hurriedly spoke up, “Walliot invited me to come over here today precisely because he wanted me to help set up a gambling game. He wanted me to let him win a sum of money. He has already done this more than once, and he would always win at least hundreds of millions of euros into his bank account every time. I was also instructed by him this time, and that’s why I helped him to cheat…”Charlie looked at Walliot and asked coldly, “Come. What else do you have to say?”Walliot suddenly did not know how to respond, and just then, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the IOU on the table. He had originally won one billion euros from Charlie today, but now, he had entered into an IOU for two billion euros. This meant that not only did he not win Charlie’s money today, but he had ended up owing Charlie one billion euros instead.However, Walliot fel

At this moment, Walliot’s entire inner psychological defense had already collapsed completely. He knew very well in his heart that once this matter was to be really brought to court, he would definitely be the one to lose. Moreover, it would be a miserable defeat!Not to mention the fact that the IOU that he had written himself was in Charlie’s hands, but just the fact that a descendant of the Rothschild family who was also the fiancé of the future Queen of Northern Europe would actually cheat others in a gambling game was already sufficient to ruin his own reputation completely.Furthermore, this scam involved three billion euros and a plane! If this news were to get out, Walliot was afraid that it would become the largest gambling fraud in the world! It would definitely be disastrous for his family’s reputation!The most important thing for the European royal family and the big families was reputation.As long as a member of the royal family, including the prince, did somethi

Upon saying that, Olivia hurriedly ran out. At this time, in the banquet hall.Richard was drinking together with Gregory. Aman, who had been slapped by Charlie, had already returned to his room long ago in anguish. Richard and Gregory’s wives had also returned to their rooms first because their alcohol tolerance was not strong.These two men were left in the banquet hall as they drank glass after glass of wine. Both of them were in a very good mood. After all, it would be both of their children’s wedding tomorrow, and Olivia would also be able to ascend to the throne and become the queen not long after the wedding. At that time, as Olivia’s husband, Walliot would also be officially conferred the title of Prince. By then, Walliot, who had the title of a prince, would surely become famous in the Rothschild family.Perhaps their entire family would also be able to squeeze into the second level in the Rothschild family then. Just as the both of them were drinking happily, O

When Gregory saw that Charlie was not buying his plea at all, he hurriedly begged for mercy and said, “Mr. Wade, my son has made a mistake, and as his father, I will definitely find a way to make it up to you for it. I will do my best to solve this problem. Please do not be so angry!”Charlie nodded and said, “Since you have this attitude, I will not continue talking nonsense with you. Your son dares to set me up and try to cheat me. He wanted to cheat me out of three billion euros and a Concorde in one go. I, Charlie Wade, have never encountered such a cruel setup in my whole life. How do you plan to solve this matter?”Gregory suddenly had cold sweat all over his face.He really did not expect that his son would be so bold.Three billion euros and a Concorde… This was not fucking gambling, this was outright stealing from others!Before Gregory could think of how he could give Charlie a satisfactory answer, Charlie waved the IOU for two billion euros in his hand and said indiffer

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
