When the news of Badr’s death was confirmed, public opinion around the world was in an uproar!No one would have expected that Badr would die so suddenly!Just yesterday, Badr had vowed to take revenge on Ito-Schulz Ocean Shipping Group and kick Ten Thousand Armies out of the Gulf of Aden at the same time.Just when many people thought that it would take a long time for Ten Thousand Armies to suppress the local tyrant in order to establish its prestige in the Gulf of Aden and just when they were all worried for Ito-Schulz Ocean Shipping Group, Badr had died tragically in his own base the previous night!Moreover, all of the speedboats he had under his command had exploded, and there was even a massive explosion for the storage tank in his base. It could be said that his entire base was in a complete mess.Although there was a series of explosions, it did not bring about a large number of casualties to the pirate organization. Instead, it simply made them lose all of their speedboa

But now, such days were gone.When Ten Thousand Armies had entered the Gulf of Aden, they had overturned all of their previous gameplay and rules completely. As soon as there was a disagreement, Ten Thousand Armies would go to the pirate’s base camp directly to take out the pirate leader and also blow up all of their boats at the same time. This kind of play-to-death method made all of the pirate leaders tremble in fear.Everyone was worried that they would be killed by Ten Thousand Armies in their sleep one day. Moreover, Ten Thousand Armies’ strength was too strong, and they would not be able to defend against them.What was more, Ten Thousand Armies’ base camp was not in the Gulf of Aden. Therefore, they could only attack passively in front of Ten Thousand Armies, and they were not strong enough.In an instant, all of the pirate organizations in the entire Gulf of Aden were panicking and on edge.Ten Thousand Armies had gained overnight fame in the Gulf of Aden. The entire

When Charlie said that he wanted to formulate a set of rules in the Gulf of Aden to force those pirates to play strictly according to this set of rules, Porter instantly understood Charlie’s method of work completely. It was not difficult to be the one with the hardest fist in a region, but the one with the hardest fist might not necessarily be able to make everyone do what he wanted. If he wanted to become the rule-maker in a region and make everyone do things according to his rules regardless of whether they wanted to or not, this would obviously be a much higher level, then. So, Porter immediately said respectfully to Charlie, “Mr. Wade, I understand what you mean. I will go and make the arrangements now!” ***At the same time, the other pirates in the Gulf of Aden were panicking and in a desperate situation.Almost all of the leaders of the pirate organizations had coincidentally called for all the speedboats to come back from sea.This was because they were afraid that

Just when these people were at a loss for what to do, Ten Thousand Armies issued another announcement to the public, stating that the booking channel for Ten Thousand Armies’ armed escort services was officially opened with immediate effect. All of the shipowners who wanted to cooperate with Ten Thousand Armies could get in touch with Ten Thousand Armies through an email address left by Ten Thousand Armies. They would at least be able to send a request for a face-to-face meeting with Ten Thousand Armies through this email. If Ten Thousand Armies agreed to it, wouldn’t there be room for mediation, then?As a result, a number of pirate leaders immediately elected one of their subordinates with the highest level of literacy to ask him to get in touch with Ten Thousand Armies through this email address. Ever since this email address had been published, Porter had been personally keeping an eye on the movements within this email inbox.He knew that Charlie’s idea was a good way to kil

As soon as they met, the leader of Puntland Guard said very respectfully, “Hello, Sir. My name is Sheck. I’m the leader of Puntland Guard...”The five-star general from Ten Thousand Armies had a blank expression on his face as he said, “I don’t care who you are. I just want to know what is your ulterior motive since you, as a pirate, actually dared to take the initiative to ask to meet up with us?”Sheck hurriedly said, “The leaders of the other pirate organization and I myself know of Ten Thousand Armies’ reputation and prestige. We have the utmost respect for Ten Thousand Armies, and we also welcome Ten Thousand Armies to the Gulf of Aden. The reason why we would like to meet with Your Excellency is because we want to have a friendly negotiation with Ten Thousand Armies to determine if both of our sides can coexist peacefully in the Gulf of Aden in the future...”The five-star general said coldly, “Ten Thousand Armies will not cooperate with pirate organizations like yours in any

When Sheck brought this news back to the Gulf of Aden, the pirate organizations in the Gulf of Aden were all completely relieved. They also felt as if they had gotten a new lease of life.What they were initially most afraid of was that Ten Thousand Armies was going to drive them to extinction and cut off all of their financial routes completely. However, what they did not expect was that Ten Thousand Armies did not intend to monopolize the armed escort business in the entire Gulf of Arden. This way, there would be ample room for their survival.Everyone quickly came to two consensuses with great joy. The first one was that all speedboats should rest, and no one should go out to sea to hijack any merchant ships before Ten Thousand Armies’ armed escort website went online so as to avoid offending Ten Thousand Armies. Secondly, after Ten Thousand Armies’ armed escort website was launched, the armed escort website should be used strictly as an action guide, and no one would be allow

Most of these people were here for the Apothecary Restoration Pill.As the originator of all this, Charlie had not paid any attention to this matter at this time.What he was truly concerned about was the auction for the Rejuvenating Pill that would be held soon.It could be seen from the relevant Ten Thousand Armies’ intelligence network that the Rejuvenating Pill already had a certain influence amongst the top European and American crowds. Although it was not as well-known as the Apothecary Restoration Pill, to those top powerful people, it was much more significant compared to the Apothecary Restoration Pill.Now, many of the top powerful people in Europe and the United States were also trying their best to inquire about the Rejuvenating Pill, but they could not find any substantial clues at all because the Rejuvenating Pill was simply too mysterious. At this time, Charlie was still confirming all the details with Isaac and Jasmine before the official launch of the promotion
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 3684
Jasmine heard Charlie saying that the promotion and registration for the Rejuvenating Pill auction would be launched tomorrow, so she hurriedly said to Charlie, “Master Wade, I have selected three candidate auctioneers for the auction. Would you like to take a look at them and screen through them first?”Charlie nodded and smiled as he said, “Okay. The auctioneer is still very important to the auction and so, the auctioneer must be chosen carefully.”Jasmine hastily took out her cell phone and pulled out several videos from her album as she played them to Charlie one by one, explaining as she went along, “Master Wade, these three auctioneers are all very senior auctioneers from Vintage Deluxe. Although their qualifications and experience are not as good as those of Christie’s or Sotheby’s, they are definitely the best in Aurous Hill.”Charlie patiently watched the three videos shown by Jasmine. Out of the three candidate auctioneers, there were two women and one man who were all in

Mick inspected every video to see who was getting the most views, and he then paid out of his own pocket to use paid advertising to get the video viral.It cost five thousand and it hurt, but reaching the trending page was definitely worth it.Mick was quite shrewd too, making sure that the paid advertising was focused locally. After all, he knew all too well that five thousand didn't buy many clicks, and clicks from elsewhere might be too sporadic to gain any worthwhile attention.As he worked in Antique Street, he naturally had to come up with a plan to promote himself in this place, ideally presenting himself as a master appraiser.That way, his fame would slowly extend throughout the province and perhaps Eastern Oskia, and eventually the country.As such, focusing on Aurous Hill was the best idea.Moreover, he also had another idea—if Jasmine Moore happened to see this video, she would see him in a new light.When that happened, he could look forward to getting really rich!
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6478
Soon, the video of Mick's staged act was uploaded to the online group, and everyone eagerly watched it as soon as it was done uploading.Mick certainly set a new bar with his acting as none of them could see that it was an act.Moreover, everyone could see that the bronze sculpture looked like the real deal, and they might have been swindled if it were them.As such, they couldn't help being impressed as Mick had easily seen through Billy's con, and he was the definition of a pro in that video.No matter how Billy had packaged it, there was no tricking real experts like Mick Crane. Just a quick glance and he had seen through that it was a postmodern replica, matched with a base from the Renaissance era to misdirect and beguile.With that, many fellow antique dealers changed their opinion of Mick.After all, Vintage Deluxe's business had been declining after Mick took over as manager, and people were presuming that his skills were lacking.But now, they were all shown that he had

"Amazing, Mr. Crane!""It's Mr. Crane who shines through, in the end! His eyes see through everything!""I guess Miss Moore made the right choice firing Raymond and appointing Mr. Crane! Mr. Crane is infinitely better!"Mick was immediately thrilled to see them fawning over him, and he laughed, "You flatter me—I'm merely sharing my personal perspective on this. In this trade, anyone who knows would understand how hard it is to get the good stuff in this age of technology.""There are plenty of people who hold ulterior motives and change their tactics knowing that there are always those scheming to get their hands on vintage treasures, so they just have to make it. That is how they started making counterfeits of everything, from scrolls to sculptures to statues, each of them so real just to trick those fools who think they could get rich overnight!""Exactly!" Someone promptly agreed. "There's never a lack of any such fools, and I just happened to meet one. I had this piece of jade

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

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
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6474
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
