He was certain that these people were only ordinary people based on their strength and breathing rhythm. None of them had even dabbled in martial arts.From that, he could conclude that there was no ambush waiting for them in the yard.Julian then informed Kathleen, “Young Lady, we can get down the car now.”Kathleen nodded curtly and relaxed her slightly furrowed brows at that.She knew Julian was strong enough to detect enemies hidden behind a few walls. He did so by judging at the rhythm of their breathing and their heartbeat.If he said it was safe to go out, then there was nothing unusual about the place.However, she still found herself somewhat speechless by the restaurant’s environment.The farmhouse’s buildings were a little dilapidated. It was renovated and restored, but she could still tell that they had a long history. She could smell a terrible stench floating in the yard as soon as she got out of the car. Her eyes swept around the place carefully and spotted more

Charlie had invited her in, so although Kathleen felt helpless, she had no choice but to enter.Charlie turned to Julian and invited him to join them, enthusiastic. “Sir, why don’t you come and join us as well? Don’t be shy!”Julian shook his head and rejected politely, “Thank you, Mr. Wade. I’m just a driver, so I should probably wait outside.”Charlie went with the flow and nodded understandingly. “In that case, we’ll leave you alone.”Julian quickly added, “Thank you, Mr. Wade.”Charlie gave him a small smile before entering the private room with Kathleen. Though it was called a private room, in reality, it was just an ordinary brick house. The room wasn’t very huge, but was relatively empty. There was a square earthen stove built against the wall facing the door.The stove was full of firewood, flames burning vigorously. The large iron pot above was covered with a wooden lid, but steam was constantly bubbling out from all sides.A strong meaty aroma filled the entire room.

Kathleen felt moved, but she was also slightly embarrassed to see Charlie filling the small plate in front of her with a mountain of food. She rarely had the chance to share a meal with a man, so this was her first time being taken care of by someone of the opposite sex.She nodded shyly and said, “Mr. Wade, you don’t have to keep filling my plate. You still haven’t eaten a bite…”Charlie grinned, “There’s no hurry. If I use my cutleries now, I won’t be able to help fill your plates anymore!”He took a piece of goose meat with skin as he said that. “Eating the goose meat with its skin tastes the best! You really should try it!”Kathleen nodded, and carefully blew some air on the meat before putting it in her mouth. She made sure the food wasn’t burning her lips before putting it in her mouth. Then, she started chewing slowly.Kathleen’s eyes widened in surprise at the first taste. A rich aroma filled her mouth and taste buds. The strong flavor, coming from a stew simmered in a woo

Julian found nothing unusual from Charlie’s words.However, he quietly pricked his ears, ready to listen to Charlie’s phone conversation. Since Kathleen paid so much attention to Charlie, he wanted to see if he could retrieve any useful information.At the same time, Charlie glanced at Julian. When their eyes met, he held his phone with one hand and raised his other hand to greet Julian.Julian didn’t think much of it, and nodded back as a polite greeting.Charlie then walked in Julian’s direction. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and pretended like he was about to put it into his mouth.It was common for people to smoke a cigarette while answering the phone. Therefore, Julian wasn’t alerted at all.What Julian didn’t know was that Charlie didn’t smoke. Charlie had specifically requested a box of cigarettes from Albert’s men before coming here. Porter then said on the phone, “Mr. Wade, our intelligence network has come back with an answer. Regarding Kylie Jane, her real

As Charlie said that, he made a peace sign with his right hand. He successfully provoked Julian with his words. Julian became completely furious. He couldn’t believe Charlie’s words. How could Charlie kill two six-star martial artists by stoning them to death? It sounded like a complete joke!He glared at Charlie and warned coldly, “Mr. Wade, I never intend to hurt you. However, you insisted and provoked me with your words repeatedly. In that case, don’t blame me for being rude! I’ll use my fist and teach you the real strength of a six-star martial artist!”As soon as Julian said that, he gathered all his energy into his fists and legs, and slammed into Charlie!However, Julian had no intention to take Charlie’s life. He simply wanted to teach Charlie a lesson and show Charlie a six-star martial artist’s real strength.Julian’s body came slamming into Charlie like a speeding truck. Julian thought he could hurt Charlie badly without the need to throw any punches, and use his body

Julian froze, overwhelmed by this realization. At the same time, a car parked right in front of the farmhouse.As soon as the car stopped, the back row door opened automatically. Albert got out of the car and waited quietly at the door.Julian looked back nervously, anxious and fearing for Kathleen’s safety. He thought Charlie did all these to kidnap her.He wanted to shout and alert Kathleen, who was still in the private room, about the danger. Unfortunately, he could not let out a single squeak. His voice remained stuck in his throat, unable to come out. He stared at Charlie in horror. What did Charlie do to mute him?Charlie chuckled as he patted Julian’s shoulder. He moved some spiritual energy into Julian’s body in that instant, which had completely sealed Julian’s consciousness in his body, just like what he did to Zayne from the Ten Thousand Armies before.Charlie looked at Julian in the eyes and reassured him, “You don’t have to be afraid. I don’t plan to take your life

Meanwhile, Kathleen, who was still in the private room, was completely unaware of the events happening outside.After all, they were at a place located next to the national highway. There were a lot of noises since many vehicles whizzed past the area. Some overloaded trucks passed by occasionally, making the entire ground vibrate.Kathleen could not hear any movements outside at all.Charlie finally returned to the room. He smiled at Kathleen and told her, “Ms. Jane, my apologies. I got caught up with something. Sorry to keep you waiting.”Kathleen quickly replied, “Mr. Wade, don’t worry about it. Did you settle your problem?”Charlie nodded and answered casually, “Yes, I’ve resolved it. My customer was asking about something regarding Feng Shui. I’ve just about finished explaining to him.”Kathleen did not doubt Charlie at all. His acting seemed so real and sincere.With that, Kathleen said with a smile, “By the way, Mr. Wade. I’m not sure if your wife has told you about this y

Kathleen had a huge headache when Charlie mentioned The Heaven Springs.In her heart, she thought, ‘The Heaven Springs does have good food, but no matter how good they are, I can’t bear to eat them daily!’‘Besides, I’m already a regular there. Charlie may overthink when he knows about it. It’s not a good idea to go there.’She stopped her train of thoughts and smiled at Charlie. “Mr. Wade, I’ve been to The Heaven Springs already. The food is really good, but it’s such a waste to eat there. Do we have any other options? I think a simple meal like this would be great…”Charlie asked in surprise, “Oh? Did you go to The Heaven Springs before? Oops! I should have informed the boss earlier to waive the bill for you.”Charlie then suggested, “How about this? I’ll give The Heaven Springs’ owner a call later and tell him not to charge you whenever you go there for a meal.”Kathleen quickly stopped him, “That’s not needed! The owner established the restaurant to do business. How can I mak

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

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
