The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 3787
As time passed by, Kathleen’s nervousness grew. She was flustered when there was still no news from Julian even after a long time had passed. No matter what she did, she couldn’t reach his number. She was so worried that she ended up sending her grandfather, Jordan Fox, a message stating the sudden predicament.The matter had become so complicated, it went beyond Kathleen and her group’s ability. She had no choice but to seek Jordan's help.Jordan was still in bed when he received the news, with his servants feeding him a special nutritious breakfast with a spoon.His health had been deteriorating lately, and he had no strength to even go out for a walk. It was exhausting for him to just sit still.He had no choice but to rest in bed most of the time.His healthcare team had just completed a comprehensive physical assessment two days ago. The experts believed that his life had entered the end of natural aging. His remaining time was unknown and couldn’t be calculated in years.

Jordan didn’t expect to hear about Julian’s disappearance. Julian actually went missing within a few days after arriving at Aurous Hill! This was unthinkable.At the moment, Jarvis was unaware of Julian’s sudden disappearance. He walked to Jordan’s bed and greeted Jordan with a slight bow. “Lord Fox, why did you summon me so early? Do you have any orders for me?”Jordan hurriedly explained, “Master Yant, Kathleen has just informed me about Julian’s disappearance! Kathleen suspects something has happened to him!”“What?!” Jarvis was stunned. He instantly refuted, “That’s impossible! Julian’s a six-star martial artist! He’s very strong, and his martial arts is unmatchable in all of Oskia. How could he be hurt?”Jordan said, “Kathleen was certain. She met someone for dinner, but Julian was gone when she came out. His number was out of service. What else could it be?”Jarvis Yant was thunderstruck. He furrowed his brow immediately and deduced in a low voice, “With Julian’s character,

Kathleen was at a complete loss.She was sure she made no enemies during her entire stay in Aurous Hill. Besides, she kept her identity a tight secret. If Julian was indeed murdered or kidnapped, that meant the enemy’s strength must be beyond her imagination. How could she offend such a powerful person? A possibility suddenly came to her mind. She looked up at Charlie and quietly thought to herself, ‘Could it be Charlie?!’She turned to see Charlie’s sincere look and immediately discarded that possibility. She couldn’t help but think to herself, ‘How could it be Charlie? He’s a nice person. There’s just no reason for him to target me…’‘Plus, he’s too young. How can he be stronger than Mr. Larson?’‘He’s been with me during the whole dinner, except for the time he went out to answer a call. How did he deal with Mr. Larson in such a short time without making any noise? If he did have such strength, he’d be practically undefeatable!’Kathleen thought and thought, and finally rul

As Albert said that, he took out his fat wallet from his pocket. There was not much cash in the wallet, but there were all kinds of bank cards inside.Interestingly, each bank card had a sticky note with a string of numbers on them. Some were ten, some were twenty, thirty, or even fifty and hundred.Albert picked a card with a thirty written on it. He threw the card to the driver's seat and said, “There are five hundred thousand dollars in the card. The password is 5, 0, 0, 0 ,0 ,0. You guys can spend it freely and split the remainder among yourself.”Albert always carried the bank cards with him. They were worth at least several million dollars. He was not the actual cardholder for the cards, but he kept the passwords on the card. Every password corresponded to the card’s limit. A card worth three hundred thousand would have a password starting with three and ending with five zeros. Meanwhile, a card with five hundred thousand would use a password starting with five and ending with

Kathleen was blindsided by Charlie’s warm attitude, and viewed Charlie like a gentle spring breeze that warmed her heart.As she looked into Charlie’s sincere eyes, Kathleen began to feel a little guilty. She felt guilty for lying to Charlie the whole time. For a moment, she had the urge to confess everything to him.However, her Grandpa was waiting for the Rejuvenating Pill to extend his life. Remembering that, she could only suppress her urge to confess.She thought to herself, ‘If Grandpa can win the Rejuvenating Pill on the auction, then I’ll confess to Mr. Wade and ask for his forgiveness as soon as possible…”At the same time, Charlie saw Kathleen looking at himself in a daze. Puzzled, he asked, “Ms. Jane, is everything okay?”Kathleen came back to her senses and hurriedly hid her feelings. “Oh, it’s nothing… I’ll be going now, Mr. Wade.”“Okay.” Charlie nodded and reminded her again, “Please remember to give me a call if you need any help.”“Sure!” Kathleen thanked him ag

Sherry asked hurriedly, “Miss, does that mean that the enemy came for Mr. Larson?”Kathleen muttered, “That may not be the case. He might not be the real target. However, I feel that I won’t be in any danger for the time being. The enemy is strong, but since he’s letting me go, he may have realized Mr. Larson’s strength. Perhaps he deemed Mr. Larson a threat in Aurous Hill, so he attacked Mr. Larson…”Sherry was puzzled by Kathleen’s assumption. “But all this is too strange… Mr. Larson is indeed very strong. However, he had never shown his ability or attacked anyone in Aurous Hill. Besides, he’s just a bodyguard, not a killer. He’s not an active threat to others. Why would the enemy target him?”Kathleen pursed her lips. “That’s what I’m trying to figure out now…”She was interrupted mid-sentence by the sudden ringing of her phone. The one who called was her grandfather, Jordan Fox.Kathleen hastily grabbed her phone and strode to the inner room. Once she was in her bedroom, she a

Charlie, who was in the opposite mood from Kathleen, was on his way home.He felt much more relaxed after managing to control Julian. Since Kathleen still wanted to continue hiding her identity, Charlie would continue playing with her.In order to find out Kathleen’s background, he called Porter. “Porter, do you have any detailed information about Kathleen Fox?”Porter informed him, “Mr. Wade, the information that’s currently available to me shows that Kathleen Fox is the young lady of the Fox family. The Fox family is a fairly powerful Oskian family in North America. They’re not as strong as the Acker family, but they’re still stronger than the Laine family from Hong Kong and the Schulz family in Oskia.”Porter then added, “The founder of the Fox family and the current head of the Fox family is Jordan Fox. He went abroad to study and worked hard in the early years of his life, but now he’s already more than ninety years old. It’s said that his physical health isn’t very good, and

Aside from shock and terror, the incident tonight also made her feel a little strange.She couldn’t figure out what kind of person could have targeted Julian so precisely. Moreover, the other party had struck in such a sharp and precise manner without leaving any clues behind. She had also suspected Charlie before.However, her thoughts would always detour and return to what Julian had said before.She had always felt that although Charlie was very mysterious, he shouldn’t be that powerful.She recalled what her grandfather had said over the phone. Master Yant speculated that the opponent that Julian had encountered was a Dark Realm expert.An expert of the Great Perfection Realm of the Illuminating Realm was already unheard of, and an expert of the Dark Realm, which was one big level higher compared to the Illuminating Realm as a whole, was even rarer in this world. This made Kathleen feel even more impressed with Aurous Hill. She subconsciously used her fingers to fiddle

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
