Anthony was extremely dumbfounded upon hearing Xyla’s remark! He asked, “What? Are you saying that Kenneth offended Master Wade?!”“Yes!” Xyla nodded profusely. “Moreover, I heard that it was quite an intense fight. He even flirted with Master Wade’s wife, saying that he would give her 10 million dollars just to spend a night with her!”Anthony’s face turned into a grimacing shade of red. He didn’t expect that Kenneth had offended Master Wade to such an extent! Who did Kenneth think he was anyway!His mind ran wild with angry remarks. ‘Master Wade has helped me with the generosity and kindness that I can never repay. What about you, Kenneth? Yes, your father helped me back in the days, but I have already repaid my debt to the Wilson family for being your family doctor for several decades! Besides, your father has already passed on. I no longer have any obligation toward your family. I can still lend a hand to help you by all means if you had simply injured yourself, but you picked
“Master? True dragon?” Kenneth blurted out in a shocked tone. “Uncle Simmons, is something wrong with your brain? How could you be deceived by that crook? He is not a master or a true dragon, he is just a useless live-in son-in-law... a moocher! The Wilson family that he is married to, they treat me like a king! They even gifted Wendy Wilson to me as my escort and companion. He is just a lowly ant compared to me!”Then, he continued in an indignant voice, “Uncle Simmons, do you honestly think that deadbeat loser is worth it for you to protect him with all costs and even cut ties with our family? Are you going to ignore the years of friendship between our families?”“B*stard!” Anthony’s face twisted into a resentful grimace. He picked up the medicine pestle on the table and slammed it into Kenneth’s head fiercely while cursing, “You and your blasphemous mouth! Get out of here right now!”Kenneth couldn’t manage to avoid him, and the pestle knocked his forehead with a great force, cau
Indeed, Kenneth wanted to kill Charlie right there and then.However, he realized that it was not wise to act impulsively—the mighty dragon was no match for the native serpent.He knew clearly that he was no match to Charlie right now.It seemed that Charlie was quite powerful and strong, meaning that he had to be skilled in martial arts and self-defense. It was very hard to go after a man who was knowledgeable and tenacious. He had to get someone who was on par or more powerful than Charlie to go against him, otherwise, it would all go down the drain!Still, the most important thing right now was to fix his impotence. He would be in living hell otherwise!Kenneth’s wrath toward Anthony started burning again upon this thought!The f*cking old coot! Clearly, he had a pill that could cure him, but he didn’t want to give it to him!In fact, he had even kicked him out of his clinic for that loser, Charlie! D*mn!Meanwhile, Christopher was worrying about Kenneth’s situation. If he
Serene World Clinic.Anthony was still huffing and puffing in annoyance.Two people had come to his clinic tonight asking for treatment, and they both had offended Master Wade!Jason Grant, the guy who had tried to show off before Master Wade at the hospital the other day that led him to an unfortunate ending—Don Albert threw him out of the window on the third floor and broke his leg. He even had the guts to come here to seek treatment!And then, there was Kenneth Wilson!The most hateful and shameless b*stard!He had nearly given that b*stard the magical elixir before learning about his beef with Master Wade!If he had really cured Kenneth, he would be biting the hand that fed him, wouldn’t he?!He turned to Xyla and sighed, “Oh my goodness, Xyla, luckily you got here in time, otherwise, I might have already given Kenneth the magical pill!”Xyla shuddered at the thought. “Grandpa, I heard that Master Wade was the reason why Kenneth is impotent!”“Oh, I see!” Anthony mesmeriz
Barbara gaped in utter shock and asked frantically, “What?! Anthony, what are you talking about? We’ve been friends for so many years, how could you cut ties with us just like that?”Anthony’s serious voice sounded, “Barbara, I am very grateful for Brother Wilson’s help. When I needed it the most, he was a friend indeed, and I’ve repaid the favors to your family for so many years without asking for anything in return. Gratitude and consideration are my principles, you know that, right?”“Of course!” Barbara answered. “But I don’t understand, why do you want to make a clean break with us all of a sudden? If it’s my mistake, tell me, I’ll correct it!”“No, Barbara, it’s not your fault. Actually, it’s your son, Kenneth.”“Kenneth?” Barbara said in surprise, “What about him? Did he offend you? But he’s in Aurous Hill right now!”“Yes. I’m in Aurous Hill too,” Anthony said earnestly, “And I saw Kenneth. To be honest, he didn’t do anything to me, but he offended my savior. The man is ve
Wendy no longer got any pocket money from Kenneth, nor did he mention anything about the rest of the investment anymore.From the looks of it, it seemed that she would get more monetary benefits from him only if she helped him regain his manhood quickly.Otherwise, Kenneth would unquestionably abandon her and the entire family.So far, the 10 million dollars that Kenneth provided was only enough to stabilize the current chaos in the Wilson Group. It was far from enough to bring the company back to its peak.Christopher stood beside Kenneth and said, “One pill at a time will do, it has a very powerful effect.”Kenneth nodded, then, he took out three pills and swallowed them.He grabbed Wendy’s hand and urged her, “Wendy, let’s go upstairs now.” He hoped that this medicine would work wonders.Wendy quickly nodded. She wrapped her arms around Kenneth’s and said coyly, “Dear, let’s go back to our room and try again.”Kenneth pulled Wendy back into the room. Then, they started the f
Kenneth shivered in shock from his mother’s ferocious remark.Just because he had caused a scene with Charlie, not only did Anthony not want to help him, but he wanted to cut ties with his whole family too?What kind of drug had Charlie fed him that he was so mesmerized and bewitched by him?!Agitated and enraged, Kenneth suppressed his emotions and said, “Mom, that old coot is unreliable! He’s a crook!”Barbara shouted angrily, “I don’t care what you do, but you’d better bring Anthony to Eastcliff on my 84th birthday to check on me and treat my old illnesses. If you don’t, just wait and see!”People were more selfish as they got older.The older they were, the more afraid they were of death, wishing to live for as long as they could. Barbara didn’t want to know about the feud between Kenneth and Anthony. All she hoped for was for Anthony to remain as her personal doctor.With Anthony around, she could probably live until over ninety years old for sure, but without him, she migh
Jason opened the barrel cap and said, “Dad, I think it’s better to pour the gasoline in through the rolling shutter so that the gasoline is fully spread inside. Then, when we light the fire from outside, the fire will spread around so rapidly that even the cockroaches won’t be spared!”Justin nodded and snorted, “Good! Let’s burn them to ashes, these sons of b*tches!”Although Justin was not among the successful pioneers in Aurous Hill, he was the city’s number one when it came to spoiling his son rotten.Their families had only ever had a single male heir for several generations. After giving birth to several daughters, Justin had finally gotten a son, Jason, so he had been pampered and spoiled in every way possible since young.When Jason had been in elementary school, his teacher had punished him by caning his palm once because he was the troublemaker in class, disrupting the classroom’s order. Justin had then brought some guys to school and had broken the teacher’s right arm, l
Jacob zipped toward Raymond, his attitude immediately subservient, "I'm sure you've seen what Zachary Evans posted on his Twitter page, and to be honest, it's so terrible that my position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association has been affected too. I mean, you've made a lot of money, right?"Hell, even if you donated ten million, you'd still have another ten million and 970 thousand in net profits. So, all I'd like to ask is for you to post something to disclaim Zachary's post.Jacob's words left Raymond in thought.For Jacob, just being suspected of fraud would definitely be terrible. In fact, his position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association would definitely be threatened—if not dismissed altogether—if he wasn't cleared of suspicion.Since Jacob was Charlie Wade's father-in-law, Raymond had reason not to drive Jacob over the brink.But that also begged another question—it must be under Charlie's intention for Zachary to post his confession, and that meant Charlie in
Raymond couldn't help chuckling just as Jacob finished—he had honestly never heard of anyone who demanded a refund after donating to charity, but he was certainly seeing one now.Still, the receptionist was clearly experienced and slowly explained, "Sir, it's a legal clause of the country that all donations for philanthropy purposes can not be refunded under most circumstances—""It truly was a mistake," Jacob quickly said, cutting the receptionist off. "I was going to donate thirty thousand but pressed an extra zero by mistake. Please discuss this with your management—you just have to refund 27 thousand, see?""Sorry, sir," the receptionist apologized. "But it's a strict rule that we ourselves do not get to access the funds that have been donated into our accounts. Every donation will be screened extensively, and if you consider that there was a major oversight on your part, you may seek legal counsel to appeal for a refund. If the courts back your appeal, our organization will the
Nonetheless, Jacob darted into Treasure Measure and plucked off his mask, asking nervously, "Excuse me, Mr. Cole? It's me… Jacob Wilson…"Raymond looked up, pausing for a moment before acting as if he was actually curious, "Mr. Wilson! What brings you here? Don't tell me—you want that bronze sculpture back too?""No, no, no…" Jacob quickly shook his head. "I would never… I returned all the way from Dubai to apologize!""Apologize?" Raymond smiled faintly, and he did not play dumb this time as he asked bluntly, "Did you come back because of Zachary Evan's post?"Knowing he couldn't deny it any longer, Jacob nodded, "Yeah…"Raymond nodded and said calmly, "That's unnecessary. I was the one who benefited in the end."Jacob wasn't quite keeping up—thinking that Raymond was just trying to be nice by telling him he didn't have to apologize, he quickly pulled out his phone.Tapping on it and bringing up his transaction records, he handed it to Raymond reverently, "Mr. Cole, I understan
The cabbie chuckled. "You're a local yet you're heading to Antique Street right away as soon as you land instead of going home? And you're still saying you're not trying to pick up a killer bargain deal?"Come on, man—it's not just you, I want that too. We cabbies work ourselves to death only for ten thousand per month at best while our friend over there made twenty million in one night. I could keep driving cabs for the rest of my life and still not make that much money."Jacob knew that the cabbie must be talking about Raymond and became even more miserable then, grumbling unhappily, "I'm going to Antique Street for business—I'm not trying to pick up some missed bargain.""No? Then you didn't hear what happened yesterday?"The cabbie was immediately curious, and without waiting for Jacob's answer, he exclaimed happily, "Look, man—it was so ridiculous not even Hollywood would put it in their script. There were these fools who were trying to sell an antique trader a replica, but th
It was nighttime in Dubai as Jacob dragged his weary body from the hotel back to the airport.As he was flying economy this time, he was left sitting at the hard bench near the boarding terminal, waiting for it to open.While he waited, his heart was torn as he tapped into the website of the Aurous Hill Charity Fund, found their donation account, and wired the entire 300 thousand he had made over to them.He had picked the Aurous Hill Charity Fund because the circles of antique collectors in Aurous Hill were all discussing how Raymond had donated half of the 20 million he had made to that same charity fund.After Raymond skyrocketed to prominence in Antique Street and became a star, it could not be denied that people admired his profound ability.However, there were also people who envied his skill in turning the tables just as there were those who were jealous he had made twenty million in a single night.Still, Raymond moved fast—soon after word spread that he had made twenty m
Elaine quickly asked, "Well, what if you can't get it done?"Jacob was apprehensive even as he sighed. "If they really pressed the issue, guess I can't even stay at the Calligraphy and Painting Association now… We will see. If things get bad, I'll just resign. I won't ask for much right now, just as long as I don't have to go to jail."Elaine nodded. "Then you should try to reason things out with Raymond Cole or ask for Charlie's help if push comes to shove. Being humiliated is still better than prison.""Okay!"-It was nighttime at Aurous Hill by the time Elaine and Jacob arrived at their hotel.Charlie and Claire had just had dinner, and Claire pulled out her phone, saying, "I just checked my flight app, and it says my parents should have landed two hours ago. They are probably at the hotel, so I'll check in on them with a video call."She had yet to open her WhatsApp when Elaine called her on a video call.Jacob was planning to check in with Claire and Charlie to put their
Hearing what Jacob had said, Elaine became anxious and pressed him as he hung up, "What's going on? You're leaving? But we just got here! My shoes have just caught Dubai dirt, so why are we leaving so soon—"However, Jacob was wiping the sweat off his brow as he mumbled quietly, "Well, at this point, I have to leave or I won't be vice president anymore."Elaine immediately fumed. "We've been married for half our lives, and this is supposed to be our honeymoon, yet we're just leaving? I've posted about this on social media too—there are plenty of people who're waiting for more posts on our trip!"And don't forget—we spent a lot on our flight tickets and our hotels! The hotel bookings can't be refunded either!"Jacob scowled dolefully. "Well, what can we do? Why don't you stay? I'll go home and get this sorted out first….""Well, how long would that take?" Elaine asked."How should I know?" Jacob sighed, uneasy and annoyed. "Don Albert is saying I have to go back and donate the 300
"But I spent 98 thousand on that bronze sculpture!" Jacob exclaimed in agitation before he knew it. "I made 300 thousand from it, and that means my profit was 200 thousand at best, but I'm supposed to return that to him as well?! That means I'd have lost my own capital too!""I can't help you if you can't bear to part with that money, Mr. Wilson," Don Albert said quietly. "In that case, you'll just have to handle it yourself.""Wait, wait, wait!" Jacob immediately became antsy and cried out right then, "Please, Don Albert! I'll return the money! I'll return it, alright?! The entirety of my profits—202 thousand, okay? At least let me keep the money I spent, okay?""By that reasoning, Mr. Wilson, when a phone scammer is told by the cops to return the money they've made from defrauding, should he be allowed to keep the money he spent on telco charges? ""Oh, I…" Jacob was left stumped and could not come up with an answer.Don Albert then pressed on, "Mr. Wilson, I've offered a prom
"Mr. Wilson, what you boys did was truly heinous!" Don Arnold growled. "I scolded Zachary myself when I found out, and I was the one who told him to post that statement!"Jacob was shocked. "But why, Don Arnold? Are you friends with Raymond Cole?""Never met the guy," Don Arnold replied.That left Jacob even more confused. "Then why are you taking his side?""I've been doing my best to clean up my image over the past couple of years," Don Albert replied coolly. "I rarely get involved in mob business or anything illicit, and everyone in Aurous Hill knows that Zachary is my right-hand man, yet he confessed to committing such a heinous crime behind my back. What is that if not sullying my reputation?"Jacob was left reeling as he didn't expect Don Albert to be so serious, but he quickly explained, "I'm sorry. I didn't expect it to affect you so terribly… It's all Zachary's fault! I wouldn't have been aware that Raymond had returned at all, but he just had to tell me and come up with
