The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 3928
Three hundred billion US dollars! Many in the hall almost fainted at the insane offer.However, their curiosity was roused. Who was Carlson? How was he able to pay so much money?Not only that, but he even offered an additional eighty billion US dollars just to take the pill with him. Was he buying the pill for someone else?!Jasmine began to panic. Charlie was the one who set the rule where the bidder must eat the pill immediately upon winning. However, Carlson’s offer came with an additional eighty billion US dollars. That alone had already exceeded the Moore family’s total net worth.That, and Jasmine couldn’t possibly make any decisions on Charlie’s behalf!In the control room, Isaac was completely stunned by Carlson’s offer. He turned to Charlie and gulped nervously, and asked with a stammer, “S-sir… This…What should we do…?”Charlie watched Carlson through the surveillance camera and smiled slightly. “Those who want to take the pill home only have two objectives. They eithe

‘If I can’t bring back the pill, I shouldn’t buy it for myself…’‘But I’ve finally won it and even offended Sir Jordan for it. To return home empty-handed is just… I can’t accept this!’While he hesitated and struggled to decide, Jasmine asked again, “Number 99, will you be making the payment?”Carlson hesitated for a moment and finally decided to put his dignity away. He begged, “I beg you! Please give me a chance and let me have the pill! If one hundred billion US dollars isn’t enough, I’ll top up another fifty billion!”An additional fifty billion to his existing offer would make it three hundred and seventy billion US dollars in total.Many in the hall were stunned. They wouldn’t have dreamt of someone who could come up with three hundred seventy billion US dollars in cash! Who was this man?Carlson knew he could not eat the Rejuvenating Pill himself. Otherwise, he would become a target for the rest.He only had two choices, and both didn’t look very good. Either he took the

Bernard was so emotional to hear that, he almost burst into tears there and then. He was eliminated early because of Jordan and Carlson. He didn’t expect that there was still hope left for him.He looked forward to seeing Jordan give up. The Rejuvenating Pill would be his if Jordan gave up purchasing rights. He also hoped Jordan wouldn’t be able to pay so that the pill could become his!On top of that, he wouldn’t have to pay any additional amount. He only needed to pay with the amount he made in his last bid earlier, which was only seventy-two billion US dollars.Thinking that, he changed his opinion on the organizer. Whoever he was, he wasn’t as horrible as Bernard once thought. On the contrary, his actions were reasonable and humane.Jordan had become emotional once more, on his way to a second breakdown. He ended up with a final bid of two hundred and ten billion earlier because of Carlson’s persistence. If Carlson didn’t join the bidding, would he have pushed the price up so h

Jasmine then added with a meaningful smile, “Number 35, you’re the one who made the bid at two hundred and ten billion US dollars. That means that the price is within your affordability. Besides, it’s already a dream come true for you to purchase the pill even at this price. If you are dissatisfied and keep insisting for a re-auction, I’ll have the staff escort you out.”She went on, “We can sell the Rejuvenating Pill to Number 16 at seventy-two billion US dollars. Perhaps that means we’ll suffer a huge loss. After all, it’s around three hundred billion US dollars less than the highest offer earlier.”“However, losing three hundred billion US dollars isn't important to us. Upholding the rules is the most important!”“For those who try to challenge our rule and fairness, we’ll remove them from the auction at once!”“We will do the same regardless of the offender’s wealth and status. We do not welcome them here!”Jordan’s heart skipped an anxious beat at Jasmine’s harsh reminder.H

“You! What did you just say?!”Jordan blacked out and almost fainted at that very second. Fortunately, Jarvis was right beside him. He supported him and pressed on a pressure point on Jordan’s hand, allowing Jordan to regain his consciousness.Immediately after, Jordan demanded furiously, “How can that b*stard call the emergency order? Does he even have the authority?!”Jace explained with great difficulty, “The Sir has called for a board meeting and presented the complete evidence regarding your funds and transactions at the group’s Swiss bank account…”“He told the board that you’ve deliberately gathered two hundred billion US dollars just for a fabled life elixir…”“He believed that your current health conditions have affected your sanity, including your rationale. If you continue to be the chairman, it’ll cause the group a huge financial loss and pose a big risk to the future operations. As such, they executed the highest emergency order…”Jace continued, “Everyone on the boa

He lost count of the endless despair, emotional, and hopeful moments he had during the entire night. It kept going on and on like an unending cycle.He felt his heart was growing weak from all the overwhelming emotions. If this continued, he would go through a heart attack and pass away before even eating the pill.Bernard stared intensely at Jordan, hoping to hear Jordan say that he couldn’t buy or pay for the pill. If that happened, Bernard would be able to buy the Rejuvenating Pill with just seventy-two billion US dollars!Kathleen, meanwhile, was relieved when she found out that her grandfather was eligible to win the pill. However, her heart jumped in shock and anxiety when she heard her grandfather’s angry roar. Immediately, she knew her uncle must have taken the chance to usurp her grandfather’s position. Jace the butler stuttered helplessly, “My Lord… I’m so sorry. I have no way to help you now… I’m under house arrest. Sir ordered at least dozens of mercenaries to surround

Jordan’s face twisted into a pained expression. He never expected his dutiful son, who valued family and affection, would treat him so ruthlessly. He thought his son had always regarded him as the most important person out of everyone else. The terrible truth was that his son hated him intensely due to his long life.Jordan was so obsessed with longevity, he even traveled far to Aurous Hill for it. His eldest son must have been furious with that.Thus, the man chose to reveal his true colors at such a time.Despite Jordan’s reluctance to admit it, he knew that his son must have already gained complete control over the Fox family in the United States. After all, his son managed to remove him from power by making almost all the board members vote in his son’s favor. The man was confident that Jordan would be powerless to resist. With how almost all the board members showed support for his son, that also meant that Jordan had lost their trust for him.Jordan was already dying, una

Jarvis hurriedly supported the unconscious Jordan. He read Jordan’s pulse immediately. Noticing that it was steadily weakening and that Jordan was approaching death, he shouted anxiously, “He might not be able to make it! Hurry, call the ambulance!”The door to the second-floor private room suddenly burst open. Kathleen stood behind the railing and fled inside, crying in panic. “Grandpa! Master Yant, what happened to my grandfather?!”Jarvis looked up to see Kathleen on the second floor and murmured sadly, “Miss Kathleen, Lord Fox, he… I’m afraid he might not make it!”Kathleen fell into an immediate breakdown. She shouted at the staff, “His life is at stake! Please call the ambulance!”Jarvis carried Jordan up from his seat and alerted the staff as well. “Please call the ambulance!”Jasmine ordered the staff to summon the emergency staff in at once. Frightened that someone might accidentally faint due to turbulent emotions in the auction, she had arranged for an emergency team in

No one except Raymond expected that the terms would be agreed upon so quickly.He was utterly confident in his judgment and even more so in his value appraisal.He was convinced that once they had a good look, any one of these collectors who could afford twenty million wouldn't miss this bargain.After all, an opportunity to secure an item worth millions more than the price they paid was very rare.In fact, when the other nine collectors heard that the first collector was buying it, it was only to be expected even if it left them all gloomy. They had all held the bronze sculpture in their hands—they knew it was definitely worth that much.However, no one in the room was more shocked than Trippy.He looked utterly flabbergasted, his eyes wide and bulging as he stared at the bronze sculpture while asking himself the same question repeatedly.Was that crap really worth twenty million? How?!While Trippy was still stunned, Raymond had already sent his payment details to the first

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
