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

Charlie pulled up the end of the list, and he understood the embarrassment of the Northern Europe royal family immediately. Even if the former queen had submitted proof of the Northern Europe royal family’s assets, it would only translate to more than ten billion dollars, which was just sufficient for her to qualify for the basic threshold of the registration.So, she was basically almost at the bottom of existence amongst these seven hundred people. According to this kind of sorting where the top two hundred out of seven hundred people would be chosen, she definitely would not be qualified to come to this auction.When Charlie saw this, he could not help but smile helplessly as he said, “Sigh. It seems as though the Northern European royal family is indeed a little embarrassing. Their assets are not even worth one-tenth of the British royal family’s assets.”“Yes...” Jasmine said helplessly, “I’ve always thought that the royal families in Europe were very rich. I did not expect

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!

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

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
