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

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

The order required Roger to take out ten boxes of the Apothecary Restoration Pill to be handed over to the special envoy sent by the White House to be kept in strict custody with the nuclear bomb cipher box in the name of the highest-level strategic supplies.This suddenly placed Roger in an extremely difficult situation.Smith had brought back a total of twenty boxes of the Apothecary Restoration Pill, which would be one hundred and forty pills in total.Four boxes had been kept aside for Smith’s son, Jimmy, and aside from being used for the reverse engineering research and development, the rest of the pills were being distributed amongst the four patients that the White House had previously crammed in.To begin with, they were already stretching themselves to the limit.Now, the special envoy was even going to take away ten boxes to be kept as strategic supplies. So, that would mean that Roger and the others would have almost nothing left on hand.Roger could not help but compl

Shunpei, whom they had high hopes for, was not in a better situation at the moment.After settling down temporarily in Aurous Hill, he had been collecting environmental specimens in Aurous Hill for the past two days. Air, soil, floating dust, and water sources had all become the objects of his research.He even used some river water, lake water, tap water, and even spring water from the mountain in Aurous Hill and took turns to conduct various research in the villa.However, even after he had researched continuously, he began to feel more and more that not only was there nothing outstanding about the environment in Aurous Hill, but it was not even as good as the environment in Washington as a whole.The rest of the members of his team also felt the same way. Even though Aurous Hill was one of the ancient capitals in Oskia, the environment here was really not very good.Although the air pollution was not so serious, the air quality was not that good either. Moreover, it had a typ

“Okay.” Charlie instructed, “You should also be more careful. It would be best for you to stay in The Apothecary Pharmaceutical and not go anywhere for the time being.”Liam hurriedly said, “Yes, Master Wade!” ***Early the next morning, Shunpei dressed himself up as a morning jogger and ran all the way from his residence to The Apothecary Pharmaceutical.As he was on his way to The Apothecary Pharmaceutical, Jasmine announced to the public that Vintage Deluxe would be holding an auction in Aurous Hill in twenty days. She also announced information on the collections that would be auctioned at the auction.In addition to some famous calligraphy and paintings as well as antique porcelain, there would also be an item called the ‘Rejuvenating Pill’.Vintage Deluxe did not explain much about the ‘Rejuvenating Pill’, only introducing it as an ancient Oskian medicine with excellent medicinal effects. When this news came out, it did not cause any ripples in Aurous Hill and domestical

The registration threshold for Vintage Deluxe was ten billion dollars, which converted roughly to about 1.6 billion US dollars.It might sound like a lot, but in reality, just from the data that could be counted, there were nearly three thousand wealthy people in the world who had assets exceeding this amount.In addition, there was no telling how many invisible tycoons there were, ones who had never announced their assets to the public. Therefore, Charlie was not surprised that five hundred people had registered in two hours.However, it was rare for Elaine and Jacob, who were at home, to start to get angry when they saw the news of this auction.When Elaine saw the news feed on her cell phone, she basically did not think before she blurted out and cursed, “I’m afraid that Vintage Deluxe is really stupid! What kind of sh*tty auction is being held that a threshold of ten billion dollars is required for the registration?! Isn’t this simply bullsh*t? Who would dare to be so arrogan

Jacob hurriedly said, “You should just forget about it! I’m representing the Calligraphy and Painting Association to engage in a cultural exchange with the Koreans. Do you know about cultural exchanges? It’s an exchange between cultural people, so why should you be following us there? If people did not know any better, they would think that I’m deliberately bringing my family along with me on a publicly funded trip!”When Elaine heard this, she immediately said with some dissatisfaction, “Aren’t you the vice-chairman? You’re the second-in-command, so can’t you bring your own wife with you when you go out for a cultural exchange?!”Jacob thought to himself, ‘Even if I could really bring my wife, I would not bring you with me! I’m not f*cking insane...’Even though he thought that to himself, he still said solemnly, “This exchange is not organized by our Calligraphy and Painting Association, but it is organized by the city. When the time comes, each cultural field will send two or thr

When Charlie returned to his room, he carefully went through the name list sent by Jasmine immediately. He realized that amongst the hundreds of applicants, the vast majority were from the United States and Europe.Amongst them, there were more than three hundred people who had signed up from the United States itself. Moreover, from the names of the applicants, it could be seen that there were not only Americans, but there were also many people of Oskian, Japanese and Korean descent.Interestingly, most of the applicants from the United States were plutocrats and entrepreneurs, and more than half of the applicants from Europe were surprisingly the royal families and nobles from various countries. Even the Northern European royal family had signed up for this auction, and the person who had signed up for this was the old queen who had just abdicated. Charlie could not help but think, ‘I don’t know if the Northern European royal family’s assets even add up to ten billion dollar

No one except Raymond expected that the terms would be agreed upon so quickly.He was utterly confident in his judgment and even more so in his value appraisal.He was convinced that once they had a good look, any one of these collectors who could afford twenty million wouldn't miss this bargain.After all, an opportunity to secure an item worth millions more than the price they paid was very rare.In fact, when the other nine collectors heard that the first collector was buying it, it was only to be expected even if it left them all gloomy. They had all held the bronze sculpture in their hands—they knew it was definitely worth that much.However, no one in the room was more shocked than Trippy.He looked utterly flabbergasted, his eyes wide and bulging as he stared at the bronze sculpture while asking himself the same question repeatedly.Was that crap really worth twenty million? How?!While Trippy was still stunned, Raymond had already sent his payment details to the first

Unable to nitpick on the air stewardess' response, Elaine pouted, "Well, try to ask management to improve on your first-class cabins anyway. Maybe even make a premium-class or something since it's not like we can't afford it."The air stewardess quickly said, "We will definitely relay your message to the management."Nodding in satisfaction, Elaine waved her off. "Alright. You can go back to work now."Clearly relieved, the air stewardess bowed her head respectfully. "Always happy to be of service."After the air stewardess left, Jacob asked Elaine in curiosity, "Was the private jet that good?"Elaine rolled her eyes. "Didn't you see the stuff I posted in the chat group?""Not really," Jacob blurted. Elaine was ready to snap at him for not caring, but considering that they had made up now and she shouldn't fuss too much over the little things, she snorted, "Just remember to like and comment on all my posts in the chat group, otherwise, I will make you regret it!""No problem!"

While the ten collectors were taking turns studying the bronze sculpture, Jacob and Elaine were boarding their flight.As they were flying first-class, they had priority over the other passengers and boarded from the separate plug door at the first-class section.The capacity of the Boeing 777 was huge, and the wide-body aircraft could be connected to a special double corridor bridge where first class and business class passengers boarded separately from the economy class passengers.As the terminals to economy class and business class were connected, Elaine and Jacob were able to get through the first-class terminal unimpeded, but the passengers in economy class had a queue of over two hundred passengers. Even as she walked, Elaine was looking over her shoulder and exclaiming at Jacob, "Must be nice being rich! We used to have to queue like the rest of them, waiting for over thirty minutes just to board our flight." "In first class, we may be in the same plane, but we don't hav

Meanwhile, once Raymond had briefed everyone about the rules, he opened the door and invited everyone into Treasure Measure.It was not that wide but appeared spacious since the interior was mostly empty—it was not really crowded even with thirty-ish people.Then, locking the door from the inside, Raymond told them, "I can tell from everyone's faces that we are all veterans here, so I'm sure you understand the rules while appraising: no photos or videos, thank you very much."Indeed, there were many rules that governed the hobby, the most important being respecting the seller's requests and privacy.As the collectors listened, they knew that Raymond was selling but did not want the public to know too much about him.They all nodded, and those who had their phones out slid them back into their pockets.With that, Raymond took out the bronze sculpture that he had brought, leaving Trippy a little surprised.He had never seen the bronze sculpture with his own eyes before, only from

"Alright!" Trippy was at once fawning, tagging along behind Raymond like a little child.Around thirty people were waiting in front of Treasure Measure by now. The collectors came in twos or threes, and all ten numbers had since been taken.Before Raymond arrived, he had a brief look at the collectors' faces through the security cameras before walking over, and he was really relieved to see no familiar faces.Having traded Oskian antiques for years abroad, it was only natural that he was acquainted with some of the elite collectors in the country.He also knew that they were especially demanding with the quality of their collection and wanted almost flawless items. As such, the bronze sculpture which had been completely lost wouldn't interest them.Still, he was also a little concerned that amongst the elite collectors he knew, there might be some who were losing money and losing purchasing power in turn. If they happened to take an interest in the bronze sculpture on top of that,

Trippy grinned. "I mean, just look at my stall—ain't no way I'm getting any business here. Why not let me check out this item of yours? And see how interested they are? I'm really interested in learning and upping my game."Then, as if worried that Raymond would refuse, he quickly added, "Don't worry—I promise to stay in a corner and just watch."Still, Raymond could guess right then that someone must have sent Trippy to spy on him.It didn't matter whether it was Mick, Jacob, or Zachary either—they were all in this plot together, and one knowing meant all three knowing.Trippy was a gossiper in nature. If he was allowed to witness the whole process, everyone down Antique Street would definitely know before long.In fact, he could use someone like that right now, and Trippy had come straight to his doorstep.With that in mind, Raymond smiled, "Come join me if you're interested. It's not like there's anything to hide…"Pausing, he then warned Trippy, "But since you're going in my

After watching Mick's video, Jasmine's opinion of the man improved considerably.She was actually well aware that the decline of Vintage Deluxe was mostly due to Mick's incompetence.However, as Jasmine was now managing a billion-dollar company, she couldn't spare any time to ask many questions about Vintage Deluxe's performance. In her opinion, as long as Vintage Deluxe didn't lose too much money or ruin the reputation they had worked so hard to build, she wasn't interested in a regime change.It was the same mindset as Marianne Long, who begged her father to keep that lane full of food stalls in Hong Kong over sentiment.As such, seeing that Mick actually had some skill pleased her considerably.She couldn't resist checking out the comments of the video too.She saw that many were praising the manager of Vintage Deluxe for taking a tough stand against the scammer as well as how Vintage Deluxe's reputation was long-standing and without comparison.She soon noticed Jacob's comme

Soon, more collectors had gathered outside Treasure Measure even before Raymond showed up at Antique Street, with over ten of them gathered outside in no time at all.Since Raymond had only prepared ten slips, the rest left in disappointment seeing that they had no chance.Even so, the ten collectors who had gotten a number were nervous—save for the first man who had arrived.The details on the online sales post insisted that the price was fixed, and that first-come first-serve applies.If he bought the bronze sculpture, the other nine would have come all this way for nothing.However, if the seller decided to make it an auction, they would have a chance too, although their net profit would thin in turn. After all, they could have acquired the bronze sculpture for just 20 million, and that meant a solid 8 million in profit.An auction would at least raise the price to 27 million, and more would make it chicken feed.If they gave up at that point, it was a waste of a trip.If

Trippy naturally wasn't going to tell Mick everything word-for-word, so he said vaguely, "Uh, they were just being stubborn and refused to listen to anything I said. They kept saying that they wouldn't know until they saw the actual item."Mick got out of bed, staring at his phone as he mused to himself.This was getting a little ridiculous, was it not? A fool who was scammed, actually able to scam someone else? But if he really could sell it, wouldn't all their work be for nothing?With that in mind, he promptly called Zachary, who wasn't even up yet.Ever since he had started working for Don Albert, his daily routine was no longer the same as the days when he was a humble stall owner working on Antique Street, but a man of importance who slept late and woke up late.In the evening, he would be spending his time patrolling Don Albert's night entertainment properties as well as holding meetings with subordinates to decide on management policies and the like. That was why he wo
