The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 3898
Those who took the Rejuvenating Pill would never be disappointed by its effect.The moment the pill melted inside the African tycoon’s mouth, he could feel the medicine turning into a warm current that flowed into his belly, spreading from his abdomen to his whole body.A wonderful feeling he had never before experienced his life engulfed his entire being. He felt as though he was bathing in the holy light of God, and every part of his body felt extremely comfortable.Suddenly, he noticed his senses entering into an oddly slow state. Following that, his constant shaking was fading. He had long been accustomed to the strong involuntary tremor because of his disease. However, he could barely react even when his tremor slowed down significantly.Moreover, everything and everyone around him was motionless. He couldn’t find a suitable reference to judge if his shaking had lessened, or if his senses had slowed. He wasn’t the only one confused. Everyone else was equally puzzled.The

Someone then shouted that this was not a dream. It was a miracle!Meanwhile, the Middle East billionaire who had decided to give up at the last moment burst into regretful tears.He held his chest tightly and kept slapping himself, choking and chiding to himself, “You’re such a stingy man! Why are you so stingy?! What’s the point of keeping your money? What’s the use of it? You can’t even take it with you when you die!”Then, he covered his face with both hands and sobbed ugly tears.He wasn’t the only one with deep regret. Many others were completely shocked by the miracle before their very eyes. They only intended to watch the show earlier, and had doubted the pill’s efficiency. Now, their regret was almost killing them. Many of them could easily afford two billion US dollars. Most of the guests had terminal illnesses, and had no other reason to travel so far just to participate in the Rejuvenating Pill auction.They were narrow-minded and refused to believe in the medicine’s

Many were shocked when Travis started shouting hysterically.No one expected to hear someone claiming to have taken a full pill Rejuvenating Pill. Most didn’t believe Travis’s claims. Besides, the pill was incredibly expensive. One who could purchase a full pill would be someone renowned and influential in the world. However, many in the hall did not recognize Travis. Therefore, they thought Travis was just babbling nonsense.Some even thought Travis had gone insane after witnessing the miraculous effect. After all, he missed the bid for the first Rejuvenating Pill.Travis had already lost his mind, and wanted nothing more than to vent his despair.He was angered by the crowd’s doubtful eyes. Furious, he immediately shouted, “What? Why are you all looking at me like that? Do you think I’m joking? Let me tell you. I was…”Travis’s face was full of arrogance. Just as he was about to boast and lecture the crowd, Jasmine warned him with a cold glare, “Number 55. I’ve reminded you ab

The first Rejuvenating Pill was sold for two billion US dollars. It wasn’t what many could afford.However, the pill would skyrocket in price once everyone learnt of its amazing effect. Those who didn’t manage to get into the top two hundred people in the list, as well as those who were relatively low-ranked in the list, might not be able to win the pill even if they used all of their money.As such, these people’s joy dropped into sorrow in seconds. In just a flash, they experienced heaven and then sank to hell. Aggrieved, his cries soon became uncontrollable sobs.Jasmine watched on helplessly. Even so, she could only act within her responsibility. “Number 201, are you willing to replace Number 55 in the bidding? If you’re unwilling, I’ll have to pass the invitation to Number 202.”The man continued sobbing bitterly while covering his face. He choked, “I give up. I’ll give others a chance…”At the end of the row, Number 202 stood up with reddish eyes. He tried to hold back his

The auction for the first Rejuvenating Pill ended on a perfect none. After that, Jasmine began to introduce the second auction item for the night.The auction’s agenda was set at a pace to stimulate the guests’ desires. They would start the auction with the Rejuvenating Pill to stir the crowd. Then, they would auction a few selected antique pieces by the Vintage Deluxe to feed the audience’s anticipation. Once everyone’s impatience had reached the limit, they would start the auction for the second Rejuvenating Pill. After that, the same cycle would repeat.The auction revealed the second auction item, a kiln blue-and-white plate from ancient times.At the same time outside the auction hall, the soldier took Travis to a lounge backstage. As per Charlie’s request, any bidder whose right to bid was revoked mustn’t leave immediately. They could only leave after the auction officially ended.Charlie watched Travis’s reaction while observing in the control room. He couldn’t help but sigh

Travis agreed, “You’re right, Master Wade…”He looked at Charlie and choked a little. He was hesitant, but in the end, he decided to ask. “Master Wade, I beg you to give me one more chance. It’s my fault for losing my right to continue bidding in the auction this year, but please don’t revoke my right in future auctions!”Charlie said sternly, “Mr. Lane, I’ve set up such a big event to attract the best players in the world. I’ll have to ensure the game’s fairness. If I can’t ensure fairness, how can the event continue?”“But I…” Travis wanted to explain himself, but Charlie interrupted him with a show of hand.“Mr. Lane, we’re adults. You’ve violated the rule, so you have to bear the consequences.”Travis was reluctant, but he knew he had no right to bargain with Charlie.Not to mention, Charlie’s current status and strength would rise greatly after this auction. He would easily earn up to hundreds of billions of US dollars from this auction alone. With how much Charlie’s prowess

Travis’s turbulent emotions finally calmed after Charlie’s suggestion.Charlie added, “Well then, Mr. Lane. You may rest here first and leave when the auction ends. Pay attention to what I’ve said before. I’ll inform Doris Young from Emgrand Group as well. She’ll contact you if there are any future updates.”Travis was incredibly grateful to Charlie. With a face full of tears, he bowed and said, “Master Wade, thank you! I won’t forget your kindness!”He then added, “I’ll rush back to Lancaster tonight and gather all my men for a meeting. We’ll discuss how to move all our businesses to Aurous Hill as soon as possible. If you need my help, Mr. Wade, please order me as needed. I’ll do my best to help!”Charlie nodded with a smile. “Sure. You should stay here and compose yourself. I’ll go first.”Travis replied hurriedly, “Understood. I’ll reflect on my actions and recompose myself!”Charlie replied with a pleased hum before leaving the lounge.Travis slumped on the ground after Cha

The price went up within seconds, and kept rising until it reached the highest bid of five billion US dollars. Despite that, people kept bidding.“Five billion and ten million!”“Why are you increasing the bid by tens of millions? I offer five and a half billion!”“I offer five point eight billion! Five point eight!”The Middle East billionaire looked around, completely stunned. He thought he had been bold enough to start his bid at two billion. Unexpectedly, he was just helping to drive the hype. Everyone must have gone insane. Five point eight billion US dollars? How many people could afford that?As he thought of that, he regretted missing the first pill. He sank in despair, regretting his foolishness. He clenched his teeth and decided to bite the bullet. He raised his voice again and shouted, “Six billion! I offer six…”Before he could finish his sentence, the man who offered five point eight billion shouted again, “Six point eight billion! Six point eight!”The Middle E

Unable to nitpick on the air stewardess' response, Elaine pouted, "Well, try to ask management to improve on your first-class cabins anyway. Maybe even make a premium-class or something since it's not like we can't afford it."The air stewardess quickly said, "We will definitely relay your message to the management."Nodding in satisfaction, Elaine waved her off. "Alright. You can go back to work now."Clearly relieved, the air stewardess bowed her head respectfully. "Always happy to be of service."After the air stewardess left, Jacob asked Elaine in curiosity, "Was the private jet that good?"Elaine rolled her eyes. "Didn't you see the stuff I posted in the chat group?""Not really," Jacob blurted. Elaine was ready to snap at him for not caring, but considering that they had made up now and she shouldn't fuss too much over the little things, she snorted, "Just remember to like and comment on all my posts in the chat group, otherwise, I will make you regret it!""No problem!"

While the ten collectors were taking turns studying the bronze sculpture, Jacob and Elaine were boarding their flight.As they were flying first-class, they had priority over the other passengers and boarded from the separate plug door at the first-class section.The capacity of the Boeing 777 was huge, and the wide-body aircraft could be connected to a special double corridor bridge where first class and business class passengers boarded separately from the economy class passengers.As the terminals to economy class and business class were connected, Elaine and Jacob were able to get through the first-class terminal unimpeded, but the passengers in economy class had a queue of over two hundred passengers. Even as she walked, Elaine was looking over her shoulder and exclaiming at Jacob, "Must be nice being rich! We used to have to queue like the rest of them, waiting for over thirty minutes just to board our flight." "In first class, we may be in the same plane, but we don't hav

Meanwhile, once Raymond had briefed everyone about the rules, he opened the door and invited everyone into Treasure Measure.It was not that wide but appeared spacious since the interior was mostly empty—it was not really crowded even with thirty-ish people.Then, locking the door from the inside, Raymond told them, "I can tell from everyone's faces that we are all veterans here, so I'm sure you understand the rules while appraising: no photos or videos, thank you very much."Indeed, there were many rules that governed the hobby, the most important being respecting the seller's requests and privacy.As the collectors listened, they knew that Raymond was selling but did not want the public to know too much about him.They all nodded, and those who had their phones out slid them back into their pockets.With that, Raymond took out the bronze sculpture that he had brought, leaving Trippy a little surprised.He had never seen the bronze sculpture with his own eyes before, only from

"Alright!" Trippy was at once fawning, tagging along behind Raymond like a little child.Around thirty people were waiting in front of Treasure Measure by now. The collectors came in twos or threes, and all ten numbers had since been taken.Before Raymond arrived, he had a brief look at the collectors' faces through the security cameras before walking over, and he was really relieved to see no familiar faces.Having traded Oskian antiques for years abroad, it was only natural that he was acquainted with some of the elite collectors in the country.He also knew that they were especially demanding with the quality of their collection and wanted almost flawless items. As such, the bronze sculpture which had been completely lost wouldn't interest them.Still, he was also a little concerned that amongst the elite collectors he knew, there might be some who were losing money and losing purchasing power in turn. If they happened to take an interest in the bronze sculpture on top of that,

Trippy grinned. "I mean, just look at my stall—ain't no way I'm getting any business here. Why not let me check out this item of yours? And see how interested they are? I'm really interested in learning and upping my game."Then, as if worried that Raymond would refuse, he quickly added, "Don't worry—I promise to stay in a corner and just watch."Still, Raymond could guess right then that someone must have sent Trippy to spy on him.It didn't matter whether it was Mick, Jacob, or Zachary either—they were all in this plot together, and one knowing meant all three knowing.Trippy was a gossiper in nature. If he was allowed to witness the whole process, everyone down Antique Street would definitely know before long.In fact, he could use someone like that right now, and Trippy had come straight to his doorstep.With that in mind, Raymond smiled, "Come join me if you're interested. It's not like there's anything to hide…"Pausing, he then warned Trippy, "But since you're going in my

After watching Mick's video, Jasmine's opinion of the man improved considerably.She was actually well aware that the decline of Vintage Deluxe was mostly due to Mick's incompetence.However, as Jasmine was now managing a billion-dollar company, she couldn't spare any time to ask many questions about Vintage Deluxe's performance. In her opinion, as long as Vintage Deluxe didn't lose too much money or ruin the reputation they had worked so hard to build, she wasn't interested in a regime change.It was the same mindset as Marianne Long, who begged her father to keep that lane full of food stalls in Hong Kong over sentiment.As such, seeing that Mick actually had some skill pleased her considerably.She couldn't resist checking out the comments of the video too.She saw that many were praising the manager of Vintage Deluxe for taking a tough stand against the scammer as well as how Vintage Deluxe's reputation was long-standing and without comparison.She soon noticed Jacob's comme

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
