His great-great-great-grandfather crossed the ocean and arrived in the United States in the late dynasty. The man had been one of many Oskian workers who participated in the construction of the American Pacific Railway. Since his generation, the Luke family had taken root in the United States. They prospered by virtue of an Oskian’s hard working quality. The Luke family started out as an Oskian worker who was at the bottom of American society.Since then, the Luke family had amassed a fortune worth tens of billions of US dollars after their long stay in the United States. Such a success story could be regarded as a model of the Oskian struggle.The Luke family also carried forward the characteristics of merchants. They worked along the southeast coast of Oskia, and were very keen to unite their compatriots for further cooperation.This was also the reason Nathaniel’s great-grandfather founded the Oskian Chamber of Commerce in New York decades ago. It gradually became one of the

Homer’s seemingly casual sentence struck Nathaniel like a bolt from the blue. In the whole of the United States, there was no Oskian Chamber of Commerce that had a major family such as the Foxes as their member.The Fox family’s assets alone were greater than the combined assets of all the association members. Obviously, the Fox family wouldn’t care to rub shoulders with them. The difference was akin to a billionaire who couldn’t join a millionaire club with per capita assets of only one or two million.Yet, Homer had taken the initiative to come here and claim that he would join the New York Oskian Chamber of Commerce. Nathaniel was naturally thrilled beyond measure. He replied respectfully, “Young Master Fox, what sort of collaboration do you have in mind? Please, rest assured. As long as you say the word, the entire New York Oskian Chamber of Commerce will definitely give our full support!”Homer nodded, smiling. “I want to do some charity work with you.”“Charity?” Nathan

The reason Homer chose the venue at his own hotel was for the sake of convenience.He knew the hotel would certainly generate a negative reputation if Quinn disappeared there, but by this point, he couldn’t care less. On one hand, any negative news relating to the hotel was far less important to him compared to Quinn.On the other hand, he also knew that consumers of this day had the memory of a goldfish. The survival cycle of negative news for any commercial brand generally wouldn’t last more than one month. In the past, the negligence of the hotel management led to many female customers falling into danger. Some even died, and the resulting aftermath affected the hotel’s reputation. Business suffered a huge setback for a short period of time. However, the hotel’s occupancy rate returned to normal levels just after a month and the crisis passed with no trouble. Upon learning of the date, Nathaniel was suddenly put in a spot. Embarrassed, he looked at Homer and asked tentativel

Nathaniel’s spirits soared at Homer’s words.If the Fox family became a part of the New York Oskian Chamber of Commerce, it would spell a great achievement for the entire Chamber of Commerce! This would also mean that the value of the New York Oskian Chamber of Commerce would far exceed that of other Chambers of Commerce. Nathaniel was currently worried as he didn’t know how to compete with his other two opponents for the position of chairman after the merger. If he could attract the Fox family to join the association, he would certainly be nominated as the first chairman of the National Oskian Chamber of Commerce!The thoughts gave rise to excitement. Eager, he asked to confirm, asked Homer, “Young Master Fox, are you serious?”“Of course!” Homer declared arrogantly. “I, Homer Fox, have always been a man of my word. I will honor my promise as long as you help me make this charity dinner a success!”Nathaniel was overjoyed. He hurriedly said, “I understand, Young Master Fox.

Homer was already twenty-six or twenty-seven this year, a marriageable age. Quinn was also in her twenties. She would be a good match for Homer. If both of them fell in love with each other through the charity dinner and fostered a good relationship, wouldn’t that make Nathaniel the one responsible for bringing them together?From a traditional Oskian concept, someone who united a couple in marriage deserved great credit. The Fox and the Golding family would owe him a large favor!Thinking of this, Nathaniel said without hesitation, “Don’t worry, Young Master Fox. I’ll help you pass the message.”Upon Nathaniel’s enthusiastic agreement, Homer was certain: his bait had been successful! Delighted, he smiled and said, “Thank you so much, Chairman Luke.”…An hour later, in Eastcliff. It was already past eleven o’clock at night, but Quinn was still practicing the newly choreographed dance for the concert with her choreography team in the rehearsal room.Every time before the concer

Quinn’s curiosity was roused by Dorothy’s question. “Why? Is there anything special about this charity fund?”“Of course there is!” Dorothy smiled. “This fund is dedicated to help the North American Oskian orphans to solve their daily needs. It also intends to support their education until they enter society and generate a stable income.”The expression on Quinn’s face changed a little at this. She nodded repeatedly and began muttering seriously, “So, it’s specifically to help orphans… That’s really meaningful… Okay, check if the time’s convenient for me that night. If it is, I’ll attend the dinner.”Dorothy curled her lips into a small grin and deliberately teased Quinn, “Look at you! Just because your Brother Charlie was an orphan, the act of rescuing and helping orphans is infinitely elevated in your eyes. If that’s the case, is a charity fund for widows or the elderly a lesser one in your eyes?”Quinn blushed. Embarrassed, she retorted, “That’s not what I meant! Don’t talk nons

Dorothy sat up straight, her demeanor exuding severity. “The idle work I’m talking about is just like one who stands on top of Mount Everest. If you stand at the foot of the mountain and shout at this person at the top of your voice, he wouldn’t be able to hear what you’re saying. You can keep shouting until your voice is gone, but he still won’t hear it.” “Let’s apply the same situation in your case. Charlie Wade hasn’t made up his mind to marry you, but you’re already doing idle work. Three years later, his thoughts will probably be exactly the same as they are now! What are you going to do if he still hasn’t made up his mind to marry you? Wait for him for another three years, and continue doing another three years of idle work?”At this, Quinn’s face instantly turned pale, as white as paper.She understood the meaning behind Dorothy’s words.She also realized Dorothy was right.Thinking of this, she humbly asked Dorothy for advice, “Dorothy, oh dear Dorothy! Please teach me!

Inspired by Dorothy’s speech, Quinn trotted back to her private lounge alone with her cell phone.There, she immediately called Charlie.At that moment, Charlie was lying on the recliner sofa in the hotel. He was bored out of his mind.Claire had gone to class, so he was left alone in the hotel with nothing to do. He was dying from the sheer boredom. Porter’s subordinates had arrived in New York one after the other, but they still couldn’t find any clues related to Finley. He seemed to have disappeared without a trace, not even leaving his scent behind.Upon realizing that Quinn was calling him, he pressed the answer button immediately to answer the call.Quinn's sweet voice reached his ears. “Brother Charlie, are you busy?”“No…” Charlie stretched his back and laughed. “I'm just being lazy. What's up? Is there something wrong?”Quinn said in a somewhat coquettish tone, “It’s like this, Brother Charlie… I’ll be going to the United States soon, and the New York Oskian Chamber

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
