Without another word, Oscar dropped to his knees in front of Charlie and said, his voice shuddering and pious, “Master Wade, please forgive me for anything I’ve done wrong. Please pinpoint my mistakes and I’ll correct them immediately!”Charlie nodded. He looked down at him, pointed to the bewildered Jeffrey, and asked, “That guy over there claimed that you’re his father’s best buddy, is it true?”Oscar glanced at Jeffrey and quickly said, “His father and I are from the same hometown. We can barely be regarded as acquaintances, but definitely not buddies.”“Okay,” Charlie nodded again and asked, “That kid and his sl*t have been using your name to insult me, threaten me, and even want to kill me. What’s your take on it?”Oscar understood instantly. Charlie’s resentment towards him was completely derived from Jeffrey the b*stard. He growled at Jeffrey loudly, “B*stard! Come and apologize to Master Wade for what you did, you a*shole!”Jeffrey blinked in astonishment, not understandin
Jeffrey was so frightened by Oscar’s murderous glare that he trembled in fear, but he cleared his throat and said, “Uncle Oscar, there isn’t such a thing as a Supreme VIP member on the information board in the lobby on the first floor. He made it up! Don’t be fooled by him!”“That’s right!” Wendy sneered too, not knowing she was in the midst of big trouble. “I’ve never seen anyone so shameless and pompous in my life! He pretended to be a member, fabricated a membership tier, and even forged the membership card! He has no respect for the Moore family!”Wendy wanted to wipe Charlie off the grid so badly that she linked Charlie’s behavior with humiliating the Moore family together so the Moore family would not forgo Charlie’s wrongdoings.But she completely ignored the relationship between Charlie and the Moore family.Even if she did not believe that Charlie the loser would have the connections and resources that he claimed from the upper-class circle and refused to believe that Char
Oscar said coldly, “Okay. If you don’t want to do it, I’ll ask my men to bring ten kilos of concentrated perfume from the warehouse—five kilos for each of you. You can’t leave until you finish drinking it!”Glorious Club had a total of fifteen floors with a vast area on each floor. Each floor was filled with very classy and expensive imported fragrances everywhere. Hence, the club kept an extremely large stock of perfume.Jeffrey shuddered in fear, his face turning green when he heard that he had to drink five kilos of perfume.In the five kilos of perfume concentrate, at least half of it was alcohol as well as various chemical additives, mush additives, and antiseptic additives. If he really drank the five kilos of perfume, even Hades couldn’t stop him from dying!Oscar was agitated by Jeffrey’s hesitation and shouted to the guards, “If they don’t want to do it, beat the crap out of them first for starters!”“Yes, boss!”Under his command, the brawny guards surged forwards and s
Everyone knew that the urinals in the men’s washroom were disgusting, but licking it wouldn’t be fatal.But if you drank five kilos of perfume, you would definitely die!Jeffrey and Wendy were very arrogant, but this was a matter of life and death. So what if they licked a urinal? It wasn’t a big deal, they could just rinse their mouth and brush their teeth a few times!Since they had chosen the urinal-licking punishment, Oscar ordered, “Boys, drag them to the men’s washroom now!”The security guards dragged Jeffrey and Wendy to the men’s washroom on the second floor like they were dragging two dead dogs. Oscar asked Charlie, “Master Wade, would you like to oversee it?”Charlie nodded. “Of course! How can I miss such an interesting thing?”Oscar escorted Charlie to the washroom.The guards pushed Jeffrey and Wendy to one of the urinals and said coldly, “Go on, what the hell are you waiting for?”Jeffrey trembled with fright at the hoarse voice, but he didn’t dare to inch forw
“Oh, you can’t stand it?” Charlie chuckled and said to Oscar, “Call Albert and take these two to his dog-fighting ring. Chop them up and feed the dogs like what we did to Mr. Lannerd!”Oscar nodded immediately. “Yes, Master Wade!”The other day, the fraudulent Feng Shui master from Hong Kong, Mr. Lannerd, was exposed because he had deceived Miss Moore and was thrown into the dog-fighting ring by Albert.Albert was quite an expert in doing this kind of thing. He was already familiar with it.Jeffrey and Wendy were frightened by Charlie’s threat. There was no room for them to bargain, they had to accept their fate.Jeffrey blurted for the sake of his life, “Okay, I’ll do it! I’ll do it!”Then, he instantly rushed towards the urinal.Wendy wailed, her tears flowing down her cheeks like rivers.This was the worst humiliation she had suffered in her life and it was also the worst torment…Charlie didn’t want to stay here to watch their licking skill, he said to Oscar, “Remember, yo
Charlie entered the elevator and went to the top floor, the 18th floor. He found Jasmine and told her his overall opinion about the Feng Shui of the club.Jasmine was a little disappointed when she heard that the Feng Shui was unremarkable and blunt. It seemed that the Feng Shui master she hired previously was not very great at his job.She asked anxiously, “Master Wade, do you have any idea on how to improve the club’s aura?”Charlie smiled faintly. “Have someone planted two pine trees on the first floor, placed in the southeast and northwest corners facing each other. Then, replace the two stone pillars at the main door with stone lions, not a male and a female, and definitely not a lioness and a cub. It must be two male lions, and you must not place them in parallel. Their eyes must be at a 90-degree angle. Have someone make two gold foils and press them under the stone lion. By doing this, you can form an auspicious configuration of two lions gathering wealth.”Jasmine asked re
On second thought, nope, she got what she deserved!Wendy was the femme fatale with a heart as malicious as snakes and scorpions! There were so many occasions where she had instigated others to insult him and she had even wanted to rob his manhood! If it wasn’t for his connections and ability, he would have died from her schemes.So, he merely gave her a lesson that she would never forget for the rest of her life!Charlie said to Oscar, “I’m leaving now, Miss Moore is waiting for me downstairs. Supervise them carefully. If I find out that you’ve let them off the hook easily, I’ll hunt you down!”Oscar bowed frightfully. “Don’t worry, Master Wade, I’ll keep my eyes on them at all times! I won’t spare them!”“Okay.” Charlie nodded and turned away.After he left, Wendy and Jeffrey increased their speed and licked the disgusting urinal faster in fear of being punished for their slowness.When they finally finished licking the right urinals, their tongues had almost detached from the
In her Rolls-Royce, Jasmine sent Charlie all the way to the supermarket.Soon, the majestic Rolls-Royce stopped in front of the supermarket. Charlie said to Jasmine as he exited the car, “Thanks for the ride. Bye.”Jasmine nodded at him, her expression complex and ambiguous. “Have a nice day, Master Wade. You’re always welcome at Glorious Club, please come to enjoy the facilities whenever you’re available, I’ll always be there and will personally serve you myself.”Charlie smiled lightly and replied, “Okay, I’ll drop by when I’m free. Bye.”Jasmine nodded. “Okay, Master Wade, bye.”She bid farewell to Charlie respectfully. As she watched him disappear into the crowded supermarket, she sighed, crestfallen.She felt very unjust and disappointed when Charlie, the true dragon with superb strength, had to rush to the supermarket to buy ingredients to make dinner before his wife got off work.She had met Claire before. Indeed, Claire was very beautiful and elegant as she did, but Clai
Jacob zipped toward Raymond, his attitude immediately subservient, "I'm sure you've seen what Zachary Evans posted on his Twitter page, and to be honest, it's so terrible that my position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association has been affected too. I mean, you've made a lot of money, right?"Hell, even if you donated ten million, you'd still have another ten million and 970 thousand in net profits. So, all I'd like to ask is for you to post something to disclaim Zachary's post.Jacob's words left Raymond in thought.For Jacob, just being suspected of fraud would definitely be terrible. In fact, his position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association would definitely be threatened—if not dismissed altogether—if he wasn't cleared of suspicion.Since Jacob was Charlie Wade's father-in-law, Raymond had reason not to drive Jacob over the brink.But that also begged another question—it must be under Charlie's intention for Zachary to post his confession, and that meant Charlie in
Raymond couldn't help chuckling just as Jacob finished—he had honestly never heard of anyone who demanded a refund after donating to charity, but he was certainly seeing one now.Still, the receptionist was clearly experienced and slowly explained, "Sir, it's a legal clause of the country that all donations for philanthropy purposes can not be refunded under most circumstances—""It truly was a mistake," Jacob quickly said, cutting the receptionist off. "I was going to donate thirty thousand but pressed an extra zero by mistake. Please discuss this with your management—you just have to refund 27 thousand, see?""Sorry, sir," the receptionist apologized. "But it's a strict rule that we ourselves do not get to access the funds that have been donated into our accounts. Every donation will be screened extensively, and if you consider that there was a major oversight on your part, you may seek legal counsel to appeal for a refund. If the courts back your appeal, our organization will the
Nonetheless, Jacob darted into Treasure Measure and plucked off his mask, asking nervously, "Excuse me, Mr. Cole? It's me… Jacob Wilson…"Raymond looked up, pausing for a moment before acting as if he was actually curious, "Mr. Wilson! What brings you here? Don't tell me—you want that bronze sculpture back too?""No, no, no…" Jacob quickly shook his head. "I would never… I returned all the way from Dubai to apologize!""Apologize?" Raymond smiled faintly, and he did not play dumb this time as he asked bluntly, "Did you come back because of Zachary Evan's post?"Knowing he couldn't deny it any longer, Jacob nodded, "Yeah…"Raymond nodded and said calmly, "That's unnecessary. I was the one who benefited in the end."Jacob wasn't quite keeping up—thinking that Raymond was just trying to be nice by telling him he didn't have to apologize, he quickly pulled out his phone.Tapping on it and bringing up his transaction records, he handed it to Raymond reverently, "Mr. Cole, I understan
The cabbie chuckled. "You're a local yet you're heading to Antique Street right away as soon as you land instead of going home? And you're still saying you're not trying to pick up a killer bargain deal?"Come on, man—it's not just you, I want that too. We cabbies work ourselves to death only for ten thousand per month at best while our friend over there made twenty million in one night. I could keep driving cabs for the rest of my life and still not make that much money."Jacob knew that the cabbie must be talking about Raymond and became even more miserable then, grumbling unhappily, "I'm going to Antique Street for business—I'm not trying to pick up some missed bargain.""No? Then you didn't hear what happened yesterday?"The cabbie was immediately curious, and without waiting for Jacob's answer, he exclaimed happily, "Look, man—it was so ridiculous not even Hollywood would put it in their script. There were these fools who were trying to sell an antique trader a replica, but th
It was nighttime in Dubai as Jacob dragged his weary body from the hotel back to the airport.As he was flying economy this time, he was left sitting at the hard bench near the boarding terminal, waiting for it to open.While he waited, his heart was torn as he tapped into the website of the Aurous Hill Charity Fund, found their donation account, and wired the entire 300 thousand he had made over to them.He had picked the Aurous Hill Charity Fund because the circles of antique collectors in Aurous Hill were all discussing how Raymond had donated half of the 20 million he had made to that same charity fund.After Raymond skyrocketed to prominence in Antique Street and became a star, it could not be denied that people admired his profound ability.However, there were also people who envied his skill in turning the tables just as there were those who were jealous he had made twenty million in a single night.Still, Raymond moved fast—soon after word spread that he had made twenty m
Elaine quickly asked, "Well, what if you can't get it done?"Jacob was apprehensive even as he sighed. "If they really pressed the issue, guess I can't even stay at the Calligraphy and Painting Association now… We will see. If things get bad, I'll just resign. I won't ask for much right now, just as long as I don't have to go to jail."Elaine nodded. "Then you should try to reason things out with Raymond Cole or ask for Charlie's help if push comes to shove. Being humiliated is still better than prison.""Okay!"-It was nighttime at Aurous Hill by the time Elaine and Jacob arrived at their hotel.Charlie and Claire had just had dinner, and Claire pulled out her phone, saying, "I just checked my flight app, and it says my parents should have landed two hours ago. They are probably at the hotel, so I'll check in on them with a video call."She had yet to open her WhatsApp when Elaine called her on a video call.Jacob was planning to check in with Claire and Charlie to put their
Hearing what Jacob had said, Elaine became anxious and pressed him as he hung up, "What's going on? You're leaving? But we just got here! My shoes have just caught Dubai dirt, so why are we leaving so soon—"However, Jacob was wiping the sweat off his brow as he mumbled quietly, "Well, at this point, I have to leave or I won't be vice president anymore."Elaine immediately fumed. "We've been married for half our lives, and this is supposed to be our honeymoon, yet we're just leaving? I've posted about this on social media too—there are plenty of people who're waiting for more posts on our trip!"And don't forget—we spent a lot on our flight tickets and our hotels! The hotel bookings can't be refunded either!"Jacob scowled dolefully. "Well, what can we do? Why don't you stay? I'll go home and get this sorted out first….""Well, how long would that take?" Elaine asked."How should I know?" Jacob sighed, uneasy and annoyed. "Don Albert is saying I have to go back and donate the 300
"But I spent 98 thousand on that bronze sculpture!" Jacob exclaimed in agitation before he knew it. "I made 300 thousand from it, and that means my profit was 200 thousand at best, but I'm supposed to return that to him as well?! That means I'd have lost my own capital too!""I can't help you if you can't bear to part with that money, Mr. Wilson," Don Albert said quietly. "In that case, you'll just have to handle it yourself.""Wait, wait, wait!" Jacob immediately became antsy and cried out right then, "Please, Don Albert! I'll return the money! I'll return it, alright?! The entirety of my profits—202 thousand, okay? At least let me keep the money I spent, okay?""By that reasoning, Mr. Wilson, when a phone scammer is told by the cops to return the money they've made from defrauding, should he be allowed to keep the money he spent on telco charges? ""Oh, I…" Jacob was left stumped and could not come up with an answer.Don Albert then pressed on, "Mr. Wilson, I've offered a prom
"Mr. Wilson, what you boys did was truly heinous!" Don Arnold growled. "I scolded Zachary myself when I found out, and I was the one who told him to post that statement!"Jacob was shocked. "But why, Don Arnold? Are you friends with Raymond Cole?""Never met the guy," Don Arnold replied.That left Jacob even more confused. "Then why are you taking his side?""I've been doing my best to clean up my image over the past couple of years," Don Albert replied coolly. "I rarely get involved in mob business or anything illicit, and everyone in Aurous Hill knows that Zachary is my right-hand man, yet he confessed to committing such a heinous crime behind my back. What is that if not sullying my reputation?"Jacob was left reeling as he didn't expect Don Albert to be so serious, but he quickly explained, "I'm sorry. I didn't expect it to affect you so terribly… It's all Zachary's fault! I wouldn't have been aware that Raymond had returned at all, but he just had to tell me and come up with
