Jordan had a grave expression as he said, “If this Rejuvenating Pill is truly that big opportunity that your Grandpa Lennard received back then, then the price of five billion US dollars is really not that high. If it were to really be auctioned, it would still be normal for the price to shoot up to ten billion US dollars...”Kathleen exclaimed in amazement, “That cannot be possible, right, Grandpa?! What is the concept of ten billion US dollars?! You can buy a Ford-class aircraft carrier with that money! Who would spend so much money on a pill? What’s more, the vast majority of people, including myself, might not even know the effects of the pill.”Jordan sighed emotionally as he spoke up, “Not to mention you, but even I do not know the exact effects of this Rejuvenating Pill. However, I have a hunch that if there are no surprises, the final transaction price of this item is bound to be more than ten billion US dollars.”Having said that, Jordan remembered something, and he said ag

Jordan accepted his granddaughter’s suggestion, and he gave up his plan to go to Aurous Hill immediately. He knew very well that since it was difficult to get Moore as well as the person who had entrusted the pills to give in before the auction, it would be practically meaningless for him to go to Aurous Hill now.After all, he was already old, and it was inconvenient for him to move and live elsewhere. If he were to go over now, he would not be of any help to Kathleen at all apart from adding to her trouble.So, it would be better for him to let Kathleen head to Aurous Hill first to try her luck. If she were to really succeed, she could bring the Rejuvenating Pill back to the United States with her directly. If she was unsuccessful, Jordan would have to go to Aurous Hill to participate in the auction when the time came.This way, at least they would be prepared either way, and they would also have a greater chance of success.After Kathleen had hung up the call with her grandfat

Kathleena and her subordinates flew in one of the aircrafts, whereas the other aircraft was being used as a shadow plane to accompany her throughout her flight.This was the same way the President of the United States flew with two Air Forces. Wherever Kathleen’s plane went, the other plane would follow.If there were any problems with the plane that Kathleen was on, she could then take the other plane and continue flying without any problem.If this plane did not encounter any accidents at all during her stay in Oskia, then the other plane’s flight costs of more than ten million US dollars would have been wasted.However, Kathleen did not care in the slightest.What she sought was a one hundred percent method to solve the problem.Other than that, everything else did not matter.After that, her assistant handed a flat white laptop over to Kathleen and said, “Young Lady, this is the information of the three hotels. Please take a look at it.”Kathleen nodded, took the tablet, an

In fact, Vintage Deluxe had not announced the news that it would be co-hosting the auction with Shangri-La.This was also Charlie’s intention.Some time ago, the public had assumed that Ten Thousand Armies had taken over half of the Wade family’s assets. Many people had intended to draw a clear line with the Wade family and so, the business of hundreds of Shangri-La’s all around the world had also been affected to a considerable extent.Charlie was planning to take advantage of the auction this time to teach those wealthy people a lesson so that they would have to stay in Shangri-La before they could participate in the auction.However, Charlie did not plan to announce the news immediately because if the auction venue was announced early, there might be many people with ulterior motives or malicious intentions who would come to the auction venue in advance to stake out the venue.It was also possible for some people who were eyeing the Rejuvenating Pill to want to do something at

The slightly older man hurriedly said, “Miss Moore has already arrived.”As they spoke, the two men quickly walked past Kathleen’s side.As they passed her, Kathleen saw the two men’s side profile, and the first thought that came to her mind was, ‘This young man is quite handsome...’These two people who passed by her were none other than Charlie and Isaac.Charlie had happened to ask Jasmine to come over to discuss the next details of the auction with Isaac. As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the hotel, Isaac was already waiting for him at the door.After they met up, Isaac then told Charlie about how those soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies who had been lying in ambush at The Apothecary Pharmaceutical had successfully arrested several agents who had infiltrated The Apothecary Pharmaceutical one after the other. These people were being tightly controlled now, but they had not been transferred yet. At the same time, the soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies had also found a man

While Kathleen checked in and moved into the presidential suite in Shangri-La, Charlie was working with Jasmine and Isaac to determine the follow-up details of the auction.The most important thing for Charlie right now was the security of Shangri-La when the time came. After all, the temptation would definitely be too great at any time when faced with the value of the Rejuvenating Pill which might exceed ten billion US dollars. They would not know how many people would secretly try to make a move on it.Moreover, when the time came, it would basically be mostly top tycoons. Under this kind of situation, it would be necessary to ensure the personal safety of these top tycoons. Otherwise, if anything were to go wrong, no one would dare to come and participate in the auction anymore in the future. So, Charlie requested for the security system in Shangri-La to be completed with a new round of upgrades over the next fifteen days. At the same time, he also informed Porter to send

With that being said, Jasmine added, “Furthermore, he also made a lot of big moves some time ago. He bought a lot of French and Italian luxury brands consecutively including the famous Hermes with great fanfare. Because of his almost monopolistic dominance in the luxury goods sector, his worth has now reached a staggering and shocking figure of one hundred and seventy billion US dollars, which would be over a trillion dollars after conversion.”Charlie nodded and smiled as he said, “So, that’s the case... It seems as though this old man can be regarded as a friend of all women worldwide!”Having said that, Charlie looked at Bernard’s profile carefully, and he found that Bernard was already in his seventies. It seemed as though Bernard was also beginning to worry about the extension of his life.In truth, the top dignitaries in the world had always been like this ever since ancient times. People in their teens to their twenties and thirties would be at a young, frivolous, and ignor

Charlie then continued looking through all the names.There was another person on the list who attracted his attention named Jordan Fox. The amount of assets that Jordan Fox had declared at the time of registration was one hundred billion US dollars, but this person’s information had never appeared on the Forbes list before.There were also several others in the same situation as him.These people, whose name could not be found on the Forbes lists, had very little news about them on the internet, yet they were all declaring assets of about one hundred billion US dollars.However, Charlie vaguely felt that the actual assets of these people should be far more than one hundred billion US dollars. The reason why they were all declaring an asset of a hundred billion US dollars was because they did not want to stand out too much, and they only wanted to be able to firmly secure a spot on the shortlist. Therefore, they were only taking out a part of their assets for capital verificati

Raymond chuckled at the title, humble as ever, "The Duke of Wastage? Now, that's quite the royal title, and I don't think I deserve such an honor…"Trailing off, he then made an especially curious look, "By the way, how'd you know they were calling me that?"Seeing that he was still so ignorant, Jacob scoffed. "You bought a Renaissance-era bronze sculpture earlier, didn't you?"Raymond nodded. "I did. But technically, it's medieval and not Renaissance, along with a Renaissance-era base."Jacob clutched his stomach as he laughed, "Oh, please! Medieval? Hahaha… You're killing me, Mr. Cole!"Raymond kept a serious look on his face. "It's really medieval. Why don't you take a look?""No way," Jacob snorted, pursing his lips. "Anyway, word has already spread that someone was selling a counterfeit bronze sculpture to defraud Antique Street for some serious dough. He went first to Vintage Deluxe, but their manager, Mr. Crane, saw through it and didn't buy it… and then he came to you, an

That was why most of the collectors only knew that such an item existed but they did not know in whose possession it was.After registering a new account and paying the ten thousand registration fee, Raymond got in.It was very safe as it was anonymous, and he posted a photo of the bronze sculpture and an announcement with an asking price of twenty million.In his opinion, it wasn't that expensive—if it was still gilded, it would be worth around a hundred million. Without it, it was plenty reasonable to cut the price down to just thirty million.And Raymond was cutting another ten million off that, so twenty million was plenty reasonable.Moreover, medieval bronze sculptures were exceedingly rare, and less than one specimen showed up annually at times. Collectors who desired it would therefore be willing to break the bank for it, and that was why Raymond was sure that someone would put in an order once he posted it.As he wrote the summary of the item, someone knocked on his door

Jacob frowned in disdain. "Why would I be worried? He's no longer the manager of Vintage Deluxe, and he just lost a shit ton of money for messing up his appraisal. I am also the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, so why would I be worried about some loser who will soon be kicked out of Antique Street?"Straightening his collar, he snorted coldly, "I am now going to see Raymond Cole and humiliate him face-to-face! He thinks he's impressive, doesn't he? Let's see how he will keep up that facade!"Zachary chuckled, "Yes, exactly! People like him need to be given a slap in the face! As hard as you can! Don't worry—I'll be right behind you. If he gets physical, I'll rush in to help. If he doesn't dare to start a fight, you just insult him as much as possible!""Good plan!" Jacob nodded since he was concerned that Raymond might get physical when pushed too far.And with his body, there was no way he could beat anyone…Spreading his arms, he exclaimed, "Come! I'l

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
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
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
