Andre let out an ecstatic yell, rousing his men into excitement. They were all in high spirits, eager to board the ship and look through every nook and cranny. Andre pressed his pistol against Charlie, grinning. “Mr. Wade, please lead the way.”Charlie said nothing and complied in silence, taking a step forward as he entered. Andre and Gopher followed closely behind, with the crowd cheering and swarming in from behind them.The power part, control area, and the crew’s living quarters were all in the stern of the cargo ship. The front part was full of cargo storage.From the cabin door, they entered a stairwell with a steel structure that led to the engine room, and then to the cargo hold. However, these passages were locked in advance. They could only climb the staircase and go all the way up. None of them, Andre included, were interested in the structure of the cargo ship. They simply wanted to rush to the top floor and take control of the entire bridge. The entire gang

The reason why they used to do well in Canada was solely because they came early.Before the large-scale influx of Asians into Vancouver, the Italians came from Sicily and established themselves in the United States and Canada. After the Vietnam War, a large number of retired and defeated Vietnamese soldiers arrived at Canada and quickly took over with their superior military qualities. Since then, the Italian gang went through troubled times.With the rise of the Oskian gangs and the infiltration of the Eastern European forces later on, things became more and more difficult for the Vietnamese. The Italian gangs suffered even worse.In recent years, the Italian gangs struggled to survive. Even the past few days were terribly suffocating. Porter turned a blind eye to Andre’s pistol, not bothered to spare Andre a glance. He remained calm and continued speaking to Charlie. “Mr. Wade, there are less than a million people in a small city like Vancouver. If you’re interested, just

Charlie’s words stunned Andre, Gopher, and the rest of the gang.Gopher couldn’t help but think to himself, ‘Isn’t it enough for what’s-his-name to lose his mind? Has Mr. Wade also lost his marbles too?’While Gopher was caught up in his thoughts, Porter clasped one of his hands over the other in front of Charlie. After that, he turned to Gopher and Andre, and said indifferently, “Let me introduce myself. My name is Porter Waldron.”“Porter Waldron?!” Gopher was stunned to hear the name. He found it particularly familiar, but he couldn’t put a finger to it.At this time, Andre sneered, “Your name’s Porter Waldron? Damn! No wonder why you’re so arrogant. You have the same name as the famous lord of Ten Thousand Armies!”Then, it dawned on the crowd!No wonder this name sounded so familiar!Porter Waldron, the famous lord of Ten Thousand Armies, was a legendary god-like figure.However, none of them believed that the Porter in front of them was the same Porter Waldron who was the

When the other gang members witnessed Porter easily twisting the gun, they started shivering in fear. Now that they had confirmed Porter’s identity, they were certain that they no longer had any chances of winning. Even if they tried to escape, they would be met with a dead end. Instantly, they dropped on their knees and groveled. It didn’t matter if there were many of them, or if the narrow staircase was crowded. All of them still knelt, too frightened to do anything else.Andre was now pale in fright. He looked at Charlie, trembling, all confidence and smugness gone like the wind. In a shaky voice, he asked, “Mr…Mr. Wade… This… What the hell is going on? Is there a misunderstanding?”Charlie replied with an easy smile, “There’s no misunderstanding. Didn’t you win a cargo ship from me? I’ll give it to you now.”Andre may be a colossal fool, but at this point, even a fool like him came to realize that Charlie had been pretending to be weak all this while. Right now, the famous

At that moment, Andre thought he had found a way out. Without an ounce of hesitation, he nodded and declared eagerly, “Mr. Wade, I’d like to join the Ten Thousand Armies!” Charlie nodded, pleased. Things were going right according to plan. He then turned to Gopher and asked, “What about you, Gopher? Are you interested in joining the Ten Thousand Armies?” Gopher looked up and said earnestly, “Mr. Wade, I…I’m more than interested… Joining the Ten Thousand Armies is such an honor!” He continued to flatter Charlie, adding, “Mr. Wade… Since our gang will be under your wing, there’s something I wonder if I should tell you…” Judging from the way Gopher’s eyes were darting around, Charlie knew that the man bore ill will. Still, whatever plot Gopher had wouldn’t shake him. And so, he waved and smiled leisurely, and said, “Go ahead.” Gopher began excitedly, “Mr. Wade, our country has an old adage saying that people of a different ethnicity or race can’t be trusted. Now that you’ve take

Someone in the crowd shouted in agreement, “Our salaries haven’t changed, but our workload sure has increased!” “Andre made us do the businesses our last boss didn’t permit, and that earned him a lot of money. But we received no extra compensation for our hard labor!” “None of us got a pay raise, but Andre’s income in the past few months has risen sharply. He’s even driving a Rolls Royce now!” These statements aroused dissatisfaction in the entire group. Everyone unanimously agreed that Andre wasn’t qualified to be a leader, so he must be dethroned at once. Charlie then asked them, “What would you think if Gopher becomes your boss from now on?” For a moment there, everyone went quiet and exchanged glances. Even if they were displeased with Andre, having an Oskian like Gopher lead them all of a sudden was hard to digest. After all, this was an Italian organization. Perhaps not all of them hailed from Sicily, but they still had Italian blood in their veins. An Oskian le

Andre’s confession sent all the Italian gang members thunderstruck. Someone glared at Gopher and demanded darkly, “Is Andre telling the truth?!” “O-of course not!” Gopher was quick to deny, but voice trembled slightly as he spoke. He pointed at Andre and snarled, “Shut up, Andre! Now that Mr. Wade is letting me be boss, you’re acting like I’m stealing all your influence! You know you’re at risk of losing power, so you slander me with a lie. You’re painting me as a shameless villain so Mr. Wade will be disappointed in me. But Mr. Wade is a brilliant man. He won’t fall for your lies!” At this, a strange grin appeared on Charlie’s face. He played along with Gopher and snapped icily, “Andre, your tactic is quite despicable! The way I see it, this b*stard, err, this man looks loyal and honest. His words are reliable, and he even has a good hairstyle. It’s obvious he’s a loyal person. He’d never be ungrateful.” Having said that, Charlie narrowed his eyes at Andre in distaste. His ton

Since dead men tell no tales, doing so meant that Gopher could secure an opportunity for himself. The instant Gopher stretched his hand out, Porter took action and seized his wrist with swift ease. He exerted a small bit of force on Gopher’s wrist, squeezing it lightly. Yet, that was enough to send Gopher wailing in pain. Charlie said, “Porter, don’t disable his hand. He won’t be of value if he’s crippled.” Gopher didn’t understand what Charlie meant by value, but he had witnessed Porter’s strength earlier and knew that the man only needed to exert a small amount of force to break his right arm. It was Charlie’s words that temporarily rescued him from that predicament. Porter nodded respectfully, obeying Charlie’s words. He turned to his subordinate and said, “Tie him up!” A soldier stepped forward to tie Gopher’s hands. He gave Gopher a kick for good measure, sending Gopher staggering before falling on his knees once more. As his final struggle had failed, Gopher slumped

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
