Kathleen was still on the way when Charlie arrived at Sonfo valley. Charlie gave her a call and learnt that she would be arriving in ten minutes. Thus, he waited for her in front of the residential area.Initially, he thought of visiting Graham since the latter was just around the corner. However, he decided to scrap that idea since there wasn’t much time.About ten minutes later, a low-profile Cadillac car arrived and stopped beside Charlie.The backseat door opened not long after. A young lady stepped out of the car with grace.Charlie was slightly stunned by Kathleen when he first set his eyes on her. Kathleen was not only tall and beautiful, but had a sensual charm and exuded a witty demeanor. Kathleen scrutinized Charlie, who was standing in the front of his car. She immediately recognized him as Master Wade at just first glance. After all, she had seen him at Shangri-La a few days ago.She was relieved to have finally met him. She approached Charlie and greeted him with a

There was only one downside to staying in Sonfo Valley. The place was far from the urban areas, so the traffic would be inconvenient if one entered and left the city during rush hours.As Charlie came here in the morning, the traffic was considerably smooth. If he were to travel during the after-work rush hour, he would spend at least double the time, and would be mainly stuck in traffic.The most expensive villas in Sonfo Valley were the ones next to the reservoir. There were only five units in total. Graham bought two of them, and had spent a lot more to combine them into one huge villa.While they were approaching the reservoir, Charlie asked, “Ms. Jane, did you purchase a waterfront mansion?”“That’s right.” Kathleen nodded and explained with a smile, “I heard the best units are the ones near the water, but I’m unsure if there’s anything peculiar about the Feng Shui.”Kathleen entrusted the task of purchasing the house to Sherry. At first, she had no idea of her newly bought v

Charlie did not realize that something was amiss, even when Kathleen mentioned his wife Claire. After all, his father-in-law had already told her everything about their family. Seeing that Kathleen planned to renovate such a large house, Charlie immediately told her, “My wife has a lot of projects on hand recently. She’s probably already running at full capacity. Are you planning to do a complete overhaul? There’ll be a huge workload for a major renovation here. I think she won’t be able to take on the project even if she wants to. I think Ms. Jane should look for other companies.”Kathleen nodded lightly and grinned. “If there’s a chance, I’ll visit your wife’s company. It’ll be nice if she can accept the project, but it’s fine if she can’t.”Kathleen was worried. She did not want to offend Charlie, so she quickly explained, “Mr. Wilson recommended her services to me. I don’t want to make Mr. Wilson unhappy by contacting other designers first.”Kathleen used Jacob as the reason f

Kathleen had no plans to renovate the place at first. She did not plan to live in it, either. However, her plans changed completely after knowing that Charlie’s wife, Claire, had an interior design company. She planned to renovate the place, but not for living. She wanted to use it as an opportunity to get to know Claire.Charlie said solemnly, “Ms. Jane, since you’re planning to have a full renovation, the current interior Feng Shui wouldn’t be a problem anymore. There’s no issue with the house’s overall Feng Shui. As for the future Feng Shui, we’ll need to wait until you’ve decided on the design. Then, we can make specific adjustments according to the design plan.”Charlie added, “Since you’re hoping that your elders can live here with great health, I can give you some tips and suggestions.”Kathleen said quickly, “Mr. Wade, do share your tips with me.”Charlie explained, “It’s best to choose a room that ensures longevity, preferably on the first floor for convenience. Try and

Kathleen knew better than anyone that Charlie couldn't care less about charging her his Feng Shui service, which usually ranged between millions of dollars.After all, just one Rejuvenating Pill could easily be ten billion US dollars and above. There was a high possibility that Charlie was the real owner behind The Apothecary Pharmaceutical.The Apothecary Pharmaceutical’s net profit could easily range from billions to ten billion US dollars annually. Why would Charlie care about a mere million dollars?With that in mind, Kathleen quickly discovered the reasons behind Charlie’s action. Charlie established an image of Feng Shui Master to his family, but not for money. There must be other reasons for it. Perhaps he needed time and space to work under his other identity.Kathleen told Charlie in an understanding tone, “Thank you, Mr. Wade. I owe you such a big favor! I don’t know how to repay you yet, but let’s keep in contact for now. Do let me know if you require my assistance in th

Kathleen was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter. “It seems like he’s trying his best to be low-key to the point where he has to conceal his BMW’s real model!”She thought of something and told Sherry, “Sherry, connect the dash cam to your phone. Try and see if there’s any photo of Charlie earlier.”Sherry giggled and handed the phone to Kathleen. “Young Lady, I exported the pictures from the dashcam while you were in the villa with Charlie. I’ve chosen some clearer shots for you. You can have a look.”Kathleen praised her, “Good job, Sherry! You’re getting better at this.”Sherry laughed. “Young Lady, I’ve learnt and improved a lot by working for you.”Kathleen grinned. She took the phone and looked through the pictures.Earlier, Charlie had arrived first and waited outside the car. When the Cadillac approached Charlie, the dash cam recorded a clear video of him. Sherry managed to get plenty of clear screenshots of him.Kathleen was pleased. “I’ll have to pay Jam

Porter worked efficiently, and quickly got back to Charlie with the results.“Mr. Wade, there’s a family of Oskians with the name Jane in France. However, the family’s company is relatively average, with a total net worth of roughly ten billion dollars euros at most.”“Their net worth was only ten billion dollars euros at most?” Charlie was shocked. “Did you miss any major projects?”Porter explained, “Mr. Wade, I can’t be sure if I’ve missed anything out. However, it won’t be far different from their actual worth.”Porter’s answer confused Charlie even further. The Jane family’s net worth was only around ten billion dollars euros or so. The amount was incomparable to the Moore family’s wealth.Charlie found the matter even more strange. At last, he decided to call Graham.Once the call connected, Graham’s surprised voice rang in his ears. “Master Wade, why did you call?”Charlie asked curiously, “Mr. Quinton, did you sell your Sonfo Valley villa?”Graham was startled. He ask

Graham was flattered by Charlie’s offer to help and said gratefully, “Master Wade, I’m already very thankful to hear that from you. However, I don’t have any cash flow issues anymore. Liam just called me earlier and told me that they’d settle the payment for the last batch of medicinal stocks soon. Once I receive the payment, I’ll be able to recover my funds.”However, Charlie urged, “Mr. Quinton, feel free to contact me if you face any similar issues again.”“Alright!” Graham was thrilled. “Understood, Master Wade.”Charlie then asked him, “By the way, when do you guys plan to move to Thompson First?”Graham said, “Aurora has been busy with this for the past few days. Our new place is already renovated. There’s not much that needs to be changed, except for some furniture. The place should be ready within these few days. Aurora said she’d invite you to have a meal and have a housewarming party soon. When that happens, please act like you know nothing about this and look surprised…”

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

Seeing that Mick had a favor to ask, Trippy was naturally eager to seize the opportunity to get in his good graces."Don't worry, Mr. Crane!" He promptly replied. "Just leave it to me!"Returning to Treasure Measure, he went up to the first man who had come and said, "Hey, brother… Did you come to buy the bronze sculpture from Mr. Cole?"The man asked warily, "You know about the bronze sculpture?""Of course!" Trippy grinned. "I know all too well—it's actually famous here in Aurous Hill."Whipping out his phone, he played the short video that Mick had spent five grand promoting, saying, "Here—check this out!"Curious, the man took the phone and watched the video solemnly.The other latecomer soon hurried over as well and stared fixedly at the screen too.They watched as Bill entered a room with the bronze sculpture with Mick, the latter who checked it out and started commenting on it.The first man exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, it really is that bronze sculpture."The second ma

The other antique traders who were keeping tabs on the situation were left confused by Trippy's message.[Maybe even those out-of-towners know that Raymond is a sucker? So they traveled overnight just to see what happens?][I know Raymond is in trouble, but is it really worth traveling hundreds of miles just to watch?][Maybe they know he's a sucker, so they came to sell him more counterfeits?][Shit, that must be it! Suckers are rare these days, after all!][Damn straight! Just knowing that there's one in Aurous Hill, you'd be eager to come over.]Even Mick Crane who had just woken up and saw the message immediately sent a voice message: "Those conmen are just like flies flocking around shit as soon as they smell it.""Oh, but what they don't know is that Raymond has no more money! I heard he only had a few hundred thousand for the startup, and the bronze sculpture must have cost most of it. I'm afraid those people won't even get their gas money and toll costs back after travel

Trippy rolled his eyes as he texted back: [Hell no. I need to start my business instead of wasting my time. You morons can come get a number yourself if you like. Haha!]Still, Trippy had just sent his text when a trio arrived in a hurry outside Treasure Measure.Seeing that the doors were closed, the leader asked Trippy, "Excuse me, can I ask if this is Treasure Measure? Owned by a man named Mr. Cole?"Trippy was at once surprised. "You mean Raymond Cole?"The leader quickly said, "We don't know his first name, only that his last name is Cole, and his handle name was Treasure Measure's Mr. Cole."Trippy chuckled. "That'd be him. Has to be, since he hand wrote that shop sign."Pausing, he then asked in curiosity, "So, you've come to see him being a sucker?"The leader was naturally curious as to what Trippy was talking about. However, he was also reluctant to reveal why he had come since there was a killer bargain at stake. In fact, every other collector who was coming was k

Raymond also added that the 20 million price tag wouldn't be cut or increased. To put it simply, the bronze sculpture was right there in Aurous Hill and waiting—it was a race.Hence, many reputable collectors contacted expert appraisers throughout the night, some even booking night flights straight to Aurous Hill.The best amongst them was a fanatic collector of bronze items in Eastcliff.Following a brief exchange with Raymond online, he immediately called an expert who was also a close friend. As soon as his call was answered, he asked the other man if he had time to travel to Aurous Hill so that no one else would beat them to it—and they would drive out in the night if at all possible.After all, the earliest flight was at six in the morning, and it'd be eight by the time they made it to Aurous Hill Airport and nine by the time they got to Antique Street in a cab.Therefore, the ideal way to get there was by driving over six hundred miles at top speed, and that meant reaching A

While Jacob was feeling delighted after pulling off his con, Raymond had posted details of the bronze sculpture online.The website he was using was the biggest platform for antique collectors and the antique trade where each user could set a favorite tag in the antique category and era. If a user who preferred canvas art pieces of the Tudor dynasty set that label as their favorite, they would immediately be notified with text or desktop notifications in regards to any item with the same label.As medieval bronze sculptures were rare in the first place, most who were interested had already set that label on their favorites and were immediately notified soon after Raymond posted pictures of the bronze sculpture online.The collectors were naturally eager to check it out as gilded sculptures of the medieval era were really rare, and most collectors would go a lifetime without picking one up for their collection.On top of that, the seller had even listed a major flaw and was only ask

"Nope," Jacob chuckled. "We were both working separately and just happened to get back in at the same time."Then, he immediately became smug and excited, "Guess what, dear? I made 200 thousand out of the deal! In net profits!""For real?!" Elaine gaped. "200 thousand in just one night?! That's amazing! How did you do that?"Claire was surprised to hear that too, and she came over to ask, "What deal was it, Dad?"Jacob grinned, "Oh, it's nothing to brag about. It's just that I managed to pick up a nice antique item thanks to my wisdom and then sold it for 200 thousand."Pausing, he then sighed in dismay, "However, the buyer wasn't too rich—I would have squeezed him for 400 thousand, but he couldn't afford more, so I had to settle for less."Elaine quickly exclaimed, "Shit, we're talking about a loss of 200 thousand! People would work a year and still never earn that much…"She trailed off for a moment before asking, "By the way, dear—are we still flying out first thing tomorrow?

Jacob laughed. "Put that issue behind us? Sure, but we're not becoming friends. Hell, I can't even hold a grudge now that you're shit out of luck."Then, his tone changed sharply and suddenly became icy, "But you see, Aurous Hill is not a place you can stay just because you want to. No… After this, you're not going to be able to make a living in the antique trade.""If I were you, I'd be running a thousand miles away, far away from Aurous Hill where no one would know my face to start over. That way, you just might be able to make a living."Raymond simply kept smiling, "You need not be concerned about how I'm going to survive here, Mr. Wilson. I'd be very grateful if you'd cease any form of harassment once you leave my premises."Jacob pursed his lips, staring at Raymond in disappointment. "I'm plenty magnanimous, so I won't stoop to such pettiness. Just do whatever you like!"Clicking his tongue, he huffed, "Tut, tut… And here I'd thought you're tough, but you're just yet another
