The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 3667
Very soon, the global ocean shipping field received a very shocking piece of news.The pirate organization known as ‘Black Shark’ had publicly issued a warning not to allow any ocean shipping company to cooperate with Ten Thousand Armies when it came to armed escort. Otherwise, they would be taking extreme measures to retaliate against them. Once this news came out, the entire ocean shipping field was shocked. Unexpectedly, Ten Thousand Armies, which was such a powerful and famous mercenary organization, had also begun to get involved in armed escort!Moreover, according to the news released by Black Shark, it seemed as though the two sides had already formed a relationship.Ten minutes later, Ten Thousand Armies also officially released a short statement with only a few simple words: “Nothing and no one can stand in our way!”The entire ocean shipping industry was shocked.This was the first time ever in history that a mercenary organization had gotten involved in armed escort.

The junior captain from Ten Thousand Armies smiled faintly and spoke up as he said, “Should we still keep you guys on board to eat our food and drink our fresh water if we don’t release you? Let me tell you, we will not feed our supplies to you even if we were to feed it to the dogs.”As he spoke, he greeted one of his subordinates around him, “Put the lifeboat down and let them hurry up and get out!”Several pirates exchanged glances with one another, and the expressions on their faces were a little smug.In their opinion, they were not only the master of the Gulf of Aden, but they also had an aura around them where no one would dare to provoke them.Every time they came out to rob merchant ships, they would simply return if they failed. However, if they succeeded, they would gain money to spend in exchange. Even if they were caught, the other party would usually let them go honestly. This almost invincible aura of theirs made them feel even more and more invincible and undefeatab

The junior captain of Ten Thousand Armies had a serious expression on his face as he said, “What are you talking about? You came here to rob the merchant ship that we were escorting. Not only did we not kill you, but we even gave you a lifeboat. Now, you’re saying that I’m trying to kill you? Why don’t you think about it for yourselves? Even if I were to sell all six of you scums, it would not be worth this lifeboat!”The pirate cried out in anger, “If you wanted to be a good man, you should do good until the end! You should leave us with an engine at the very least so that we can drive back to our base!”The junior captain laughed and said, “It’s okay. I see that your base is only about a hundred nautical miles away. You can just paddle and paddle all the way back.”“Paddle back...” The pirate broke down as he cried out in protest, “Even if we were to really paddle all the way back, it would take us at least a few days! How are we going to go back alive if we have no food or water?

Each of them grabbed a life jacket and immediately put it on their bodies before they began to blow through the blowing port on their shoulder.However, no matter how much they blew, the life jackets on their bodies remained unchanged. It was just like a thin layer of plastic vest that was sticking to their bodies.Just as everyone was exchanging glances with one another, one person cursed out in despair, “F*ck! The life jackets have all been punctured! There‘s air leaking everywhere!”The leader of the group was immediately desperate. “It seems as though those beasts had already planned all of this in advance!”As he said that, he looked at the bottled water and the compressed biscuits before he said emotionally, “Luckily those people have a little bit of conscience. At the very least, they left us with some food and water. We might still be able to go back alive...”As he spoke, he picked up a bottle of water, intending to take a sip of water. After twisting it gently, he realiz

Very soon, with the popularity of the video, Ten Thousand Armies also became the object of passionate pursuit by netizens all over the world.Many people who previously did not have any feelings for the mercenary organization or even felt antipathy were also ignited by Ten Thousand Armies’ actions, and they were filled with praise for it.This caused Ten Thousand Armies to instantly gain a huge wave of passerby fans, and this also caused their reputation to rise rapidly. A collective joint name of many netizens also appeared on the internet. They requested for Ten Thousand Armies to wipe out these domineering pirates completely so that the pirates, which was a group that should have disappeared in civilized society long ago, would retire from the stage of history completely. Over the past few decades, the pirates in the Gulf of Aden had failed to be prohibited. The Gulf of Aden was also the choke point of sea transportation with no other alternatives and so, the world did not h

They even publicly declared that all of Ito-Schulz Ocean Shipping Group’s armed escort business had already been entrusted over to Ten Thousand Armies exclusively. Moreover, every Ito-Schulz Ocean Shipping Group’s cargo ship passing through the Gulf of Aden in the future would be provided with Ten Thousand Armies’ armed escort services.As soon as this announcement was made, the whole world applauded Ito-Schulz Ocean Shipping Group’s tough attitude. Badr was furious, and he immediately called out that he would make Ito-Schulz Ocean Shipping Group pay a painful price, and that Ito-Schulz Ocean Shipping Group would never be able to set foot in the Gulf of Aden again. Just as Badr’s announcement was released, Porter called Charlie and said, “Mr. Wade, I just saw the announcement issued by the pirate organization. These people are used to roaming around in the Gulf of Aden, and they really do not know any better. Do you think that we should behead him as soon as possible?”Charlie di

In order to maintain his image in the minds of his subordinates and protect his position in the Gulf of Aden, Badr convened his subordinates immediately and held a mobilization meeting.This group of weak soldiers under Badr was originally a little apprehensive after hearing that their boss had declared war with Ten Thousand Armies. They also knew their own weight and capabilities, and they knew that people like them did not have even the slightest chance of winning if they were to truly fight against Ten Thousand Armies.The other party was a long-standing top-level mercenary, whereas they were nothing more than just some pathetic pirates who had not even practiced their marksmanship very well. They could only hold and aim an AK47 blindly at a target. They really did not know how badly they would die if they were to indeed become Ten Thousand Armies’ enemy.However, Badr also had his own skills and abilities since he could hold onto the position as the leader of the pirate organi

Since their base camp had never been attached before, this group of people had no sense of crisis at all. The soldiers were smoking cigarettes and chatting in groups of twos and threes as they just waited for their shift to change so that they could go back and rest after dawn.However, they did not know that in the darkness of the sea, many heavily armed frogmen who were armed with silent electric thrusters were silently approaching the coastline.These frogmen were soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies. The leader of this team was Zayne, the second-in-command in Ten Thousand Armies. For Zayne, asking him to lead the assassination for an inconspicuous pirate leader really felt like he was killing a chicken with a slaughter knife.However, Zayne did not dare to express or feel any dissatisfaction when he thought of how this was extremely important to Ten Thousand Armies’ armed escort business.Therefore, he personally led his soldiers to infiltrate Badr’s base from the sea just so

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
