Smith said awkwardly, “I know that it sounds like a strange thing, but I really think that there’s nothing better for us to do now. The White House has already given us such a big battle, so we cannot declare failure in less than a day, right? If we did, in the eyes of the White House, how different would we be compared to a bunch of useless people, then?” Roger wanted to cry, but he had no tears, and he said, “Smith... we are all scientists, and asking scientists to do such metaphysical things is not professional at all...”Smith said, “There’s no other way. We just have to bite the bullet and do it. Otherwise, what else should we do?” At this time, a researcher with Oriental features mustered the courage to speak up, “Mr. Rogers, I suggest that it would be best for us to go to Aurous Hill for a field trip and an on-the-spot investigation. We can then bring back several environmental samples to be studied such as the air, groundwater, surface water, the rainfall there, and so on.

When Shunpei heard that Roger was asking him to lead a team to conduct research and investigation in Oskia, he was overjoyed. He basically agreed without hesitation, and he stood up straight like a soldier as he bowed and said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Roger. I will do my best to complete the mission!”Roger was very satisfied with Shunpei’s attitude, and he said, “You have to make sure to give me all of the details without letting go of any clues when you arrive in Oskia!”Shunpei nodded repeatedly and said without hesitation, “I will do my best!”Although Shunpei had already been working hard in the United States for many years, he had never been given much attention in the European and American-dominated teams because he was of Asian descent. So, he had never been given any good opportunities for promotions either. As he grew older, Shunpei had begun to worry about his future ever since the past two years. His current income in the United States was not much, but it would not be r

When the outside world learned that The Apothecary Pharmaceutical had a new drug and a new health product that was about to be launched into the market, almost everyone awaited the official release of these two products eagerly. This was because in their opinion, if The Apothecary Pharmaceutical could develop a special drug for cancer and the Apothecary Stomach Pill was also extremely good on its own, the level of the other products that it released naturally would not be too bad either and might even be amongst the best.The Apothecary Pharmaceutical’s several factories in Oskia and Japan were all soon producing at full capacity. According to Liam’s plan, the Apothecary Liver Protection Pill and the Apothecary Gold-Life Renewal Pill would officially be launched worldwide in a month. The Apothecary Pharmaceutical was working in full swing in no time, and Liam felt a hint of discomfort.Ever since the news of the Apothecary Restoration Pill had come out, he realized that there wer

When Porter heard Charlie’s question, he explained, “Ten Thousand Armies used to be in the mercenary field, and our biggest competitors were all in the United States. So, we set up an anonymous intelligence trading network in the United States, and theoretically, anyone who feels that they have some kind of valuable information can then submit an application to sell clues and information in this intelligence network of ours.”Charlie asked curiously, “I want to know how exactly this trading network of yours operates?”Porter continued speaking, “Firstly, we searched for more suitable breakthrough subjects amongst the more elite group in all walks of life in the United States. Such subjects are generally the kind of people who have a greater desire for money or are facing a major problem with their financial situation. They would be bent on making money, and as long as the opportunity presents itself, they would never let it go.”“After finding such a person, we would then contact th

With that being said, Porter then added, “By the way, Mr. Wade, in addition to them taking the initiative to sell the intelligence to us, we will also take the initiative to occasionally acquire the information. For instance, we will push some keywords to them such as the Apothecary Restoration Pill. If we are very concerned about it, we will send the information out to our informants directly, telling them that we are currently seeking information related to the Apothecary Restoration Pill. This way, the probability of us collecting the intelligence would be higher. So, if you need to pay any attention to any aspects of intelligence in the future, you can just tell me the keywords, and I will have the person-in-charge secretly follow up on this matter and get him to release information soliciting for leads directly, then.”Charlie was grateful, and he said “Okay! This intelligence network has really exceeded my expectations! It’s excellent! Perhaps it might really be of great use in

Porter’s intelligence network quickly impressed Charlie again soon.As Porter searched for news of the Rejuvenating Pill within the intelligence network, he immediately found several pieces of intelligence information that were being sold anonymously. Porter bought all of this information and forwarded it to Charlie. Charlie then carefully sorted through this batch of intelligence information that was related to the Rejuvenating Pill, and he realized that not all of this intelligence information contained good content.There were only three relatively reliable ones. The first one was: “It’s now known that there is a divine medicine that can bring the dead back to life and rejuvenate the old. It is called the Rejuvenating Pill, and the reason why the last Queen of Northern Europe could recover from her illness was because of this medicine. This medicine comes from Oskia, and it is extremely mysterious!”The second was: “The famous Oskian-American Fengshui master, Chandler Lenna

Charlie asked him, “Since these informants of yours are developed offline, their identities are not confidential to you, right?”“Correct.” Porter explained, “We know who they are so that we can ensure that they will not make up some fake information on the intelligence network to sell to us. However, we will also do our best to protect their privacy to ensure that only we will know about it and that no one else will be able to find out about them after they sell the information to us.”As Porter spoke, he then added, “By the way, Mr. Wade, if you are interested in this intelligence network, I can send you a software installation package later. I can create a top authority management account for you so that you can operate directly on it if you want to search for any intelligence in this network in the future.”Charlie smiled and said, “That would be great, if it’s convenient.”Charlie was really eager to search for his father’s name on the system to see if he could find out any re

For the next two days, a large number of Albert’s subordinates were gathered at the airport and the high-speed railway station.They were all dressed up in various disguises, and they secretly photographed all the foreigners who entered Aurous Hill over the past two days before they then sent the photographs over to Isaac.More than ten soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies hid near The Apothecary Pharmaceutical’s factory, and they screened every suspicious person who appeared. However, after Shunpei and his team arrived in Aurous Hill, they did not go to the vicinity of The Apothecary Pharmaceutical directly. Instead, they rented a villa in the suburbs of Aurous Hill first as they were waiting for the United States to use a special channel to give them the instruments and equipment they needed for various experiments. At the same time, the popularity of the Apothecary Restoration Pill continued to rise.This was because the Americans did not dare to violate the terms of the agreeme

In groups like these, any gossip would immediately spread like wildfire as people share everything here with their other circles.Within minutes of these people's good work, Antique Street was abuzz even as the skies darkened: one of the antique traders had been swindled for 300 thousand, and it was Raymond Cole—the former manager of the Vintage Deluxe at that!Some of them wondered when Raymond had actually returned while others were laughing.He was supposed to be the former manager of the Vintage Deluxe, but he had messed up as well? You had to be kidding!Many were dumbstruck too—how would Raymond survive in Antique Street after losing so much money? It had been so long since such a major scam had been pulled!As such, all the antique dealers were asking one question: how did Raymond Cole get fooled?Meanwhile, Mick didn't leak the security footage right away, instead sending his people out to spread the news in other channels, claiming that Raymond thought he had won big by
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6475
Mick had already clipped the security footage and was waiting for Zachary's word.He had checked the footage repeatedly as well and was only getting more impressed with his masterful acting by the second. He looked just like a maestro, and every detail he mentioned was flawless and showed experience.Zacahry even said that Raymond had truly slipped up with that bronze sculpture, leaving him endlessly thrilled.The proverbial missing piece of the puzzle was here!Hence, calling all the staff he trusted, he told them excitedly, "Spread the word right away—Raymond Cole slipped up, spending 300 thousand on a fake Renaissance-era bronze sculpture!"His staff had no idea of the conspiracy involved, only that Mick had said that someone had tried to sell a counterfeit bronze sculpture but he had seen through it right away and chased him away, only for Raymond to end up buying the fake bronze sculpture soon after.Someone asked, "Mr. Crane, don't you think Raymond Cole bought from the man

Raymond had said everything he should and shouldn't and with complete sincerity exactly because Billy would never believe it.As Billy just wanted to swindle him, it didn't matter how sincere Raymond was—he wanted the 300 thousand whatever it took. The key here was that Billy had refused a better prospect when told it was possible, and there was evidence that would support Raymond if either he or Zachary realized the truth and came to start trouble.That meant Raymond had nothing to worry about—they could take this to the United Nations but he'd still win this case.Having been in the antique trade for so long, he had seen every form of oddity and was always cautious with people, considering every aspect of any issue.Hence, once he downloaded the security footage to his phone, Raymond decided that he needed to sell the bronze sculpture—not because he was in urgent need of money, but because he realized that there were those who wanted him out of Aurous Hill's Antique Street.Afte

There were those in Antique Street who made their living from swindling the average Joe while others swindled antique traders.In fact, it was already cliche for them to trick antique traders with forgeries, and it was not surprising that someone had tried their luck on the opening day of Raymond's shop.As such, it was strange that he had just started today without any hype or even a proper shop sign, but someone was already after him.That told him that he was being targeted, and Raymond was putting his money on Zachary.The sole reason for that was how Zachary had come earlier to ask Raymond about how much capital he had, and he had humbly said a few hundred thousand.The fact that Billy had come and immediately demanded 500 thousand made even more sense—he wanted to siphon all of Raymond's capital.Even losing money wasn't the worst part—the worst was being labeled as an amateur.When that happened, customers who wanted the good stuff wouldn't come to him, and he would find

Just as Jacob was celebrating fooling Raymond, getting his revenge, and earning 200 thousand on top of that, Charlie was left musing to himself on the second floor of the teahouse.He knew that Billy was a conman as soon as he saw him, but he didn't understand why Raymond would buy from Billy.Could the item really be medieval as Raymond stated?As soon as the thought occurred to him, Charlie was sure of it. Given Raymond's knowledge of antiques, there was no way he would mess up in Antique Street of Aurous Hill.While his father-in-law and Zachary had worked hard to weave this elaborate conspiracy, Charlie still wondered how they would take the news that Raymond had bought something worth millions for just 300 thousand.Meanwhile, Raymond watched as Billy left and locked the door from the inside before studying the bronze sculpture once more.He trusted his own judgment that it was a gilded bronze statue from the medieval era. He was playing down its importance since the bronze

Meanwhile, Raymond sighed unhappily. "I really can't afford four hundred grand—like I said, there's not much to offer here in my shop, which I've been investing a lot in. I'd have to pay rent to the owner soon as well, and everything would end terribly for me if I paid that much…"Billy blurted right then, "You said it's medieval and worth millions, didn't you? You'd make a fortune if you sold it!"Raymond sighed again. "Million-dollar antiques aren't that easily sold, and people would be especially skeptical with a small business like mine. I could sell it at an auction too, but that's only happening when someone decides to organize one, not to mention the troublesome appraisal processes it involves.""And right now, I just think it's medieval in terms of style, but I'm no authority in the matter. In the end, it's up to experts and specific groups that would verify it, and if I messed up, it's entirely my loss.""Even if I'm lucky and it's medieval, I'd still have to wait until th

"Invest?!"Billy was left dumbstruck at the term.What even was this fool up to? This definitely wasn't in the script! What about the questions he was supposed to ask? It was like sitting for a grade-schooler test and suddenly being hit with a bar exam!In the car, Jacob blurted out, "What the hell is that bastard thinking? Is he really going to pay 250 thousand?!"Zachary pursed his lips. "Maybe he's just throwing us bait. Think about it—if we took the deal, we'd have to leave a contact number.""After that, he would trick us and say he sold it for ten million and lure us in for the five million. We'd definitely show up, wouldn't we? Once we came, it might turn out that he has called the cops and would even produce\ the bronze sculpture as evidence. Wouldn't we be just shooting ourselves in the foot?"Jacob was left in misery, his face contorting as he pouted, "But you said the cops wouldn't get involved…"Zachary rolled his eyes, "Yes, they wouldn't most of the time since that
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6469
However, neither Zachary nor Jacob expected Raymond to confuse them further as he asked Billy, "If you can afford to wait, you can leave the bronze sculpture with me as a consignment. I'll only take 10% off the sales while you get the rest—how about that?"Jacob was stunned and asked Zachary, "What the hell is he up to? Did he get too deep into character?"Zachary shook his head. "I don't get it either… is he trying to keep the bronze sculpture to use as evidence against us?"Jacob frowned. "I thought you said there was a gentleman agreement in this business, and the cops won't really care anyway?"Zachary snorted. "He said he would keep it as a consignment, meaning that he won't spend a dime. What if he told all the antique dealers instead of going to the cops? He would prove that he's sharp, making a name for himself… and what can we do? Do we take back the bronze sculpture? Even if we do, can we really ask for it?'"Fuck!" Jacob swore. "Then what are we waiting for? Tell Billy
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6468
In Treasure Measure, even Billy was having a hard time understanding what was going on.Before he came, Zachary made it very clear that he was here to dupe Raymond Cole, and he had come.As such, his job was now to claim that this bronze sculpture which was made in the last century was actually from the Renaissance era and then sell it to Raymond at a cutthroat price.But now, Raymond himself was saying that it was medieval? What was that supposed to mean?Even as he was left confused, he blurted out, "Sir, if you say it's from medieval times… then how much is it worth?"Raymond thought about it and said, "It's quite an unpopular item, but it's not to say that no one would buy it or that no one likes it. The main issue is that there were plenty of wars at that time, and most bronze would be used for weapons. Copper production would be low with rationing as well, so bronze tools were naturally rare for civilians.""Gilding is common for better quality items, and from the northern
