The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 4121
Charlie was stunned, too shocked to react.Immediately after, Charlie quickly helped the man back up. Puzzled, he asked politely, “May I ask who you are?”The middle-aged man replied respectfully, “Young Master Wade, my name is Janus Campbell. Originally, I should’ve ended up as a ghost. Luckily, Master Curtis saved me. That’s why I was able to survive until today.”When Charlie heard that Janus was his father’s old acquaintance, he clasped one of his hands over the other in a respectful manner. Bowing, he said, “Greetings, Uncle Campbell. I am Charlie Wade.”His gesture served to further excite the already ecstatic Janus. Janus’s eyes flushed red as he said, “I knew it… I knew it. When I saw you at first glance, I immediately knew: you must be Young Master Charlie! At first, I thought that I must be hallucinating. But when I recalled Miss Golding was telling me about her mysterious guest, I instantly concluded that you must be him!”Quinn, sitting next to them, smiled as she said

Emotions welled up in his chest as he lamented that fact. He asked Janus, “Uncle Janus, how did you end up in New York afterwards?”Janus flashed Charlie a wry smile. “After Master Curtis’s death, I secretly went to Aurous Hill to mourn. When I was about to return to Hong Kong, the man who wanted to kill me before happened to catch wind of his death as well. He immediately issued another order to take my life. I realized I couldn’t return to Hong Kong, so I could smuggle myself from Oskia to the United States. I’ve been staying here ever since…”Janus then asked Charlie, “Where have you been all these years, Young Master Wade? Mr. Golding traveled to almost every corner of the world in order to find you. He even came to the United States several times. I also helped him to look for you here, but to no avail…”Quinn added her two cents. “Brother Charlie! When my father and I came to New York to look for you, Uncle Janus was the one who welcomed us. Right here in this restaurant!”Ha

Charlie was surprised upon listening to Yule’s voice message.If things were really as Yule had said, then combined with his father’s recognition of Janus back then, it was already more than enough for Charlie to see that Janus had very strong abilities.Charlie also knew very well in his heart that his current biggest development constraint was the scarcity of talent.Although Ten Thousand Armies was strong, it could not be seen out in the open. Moreover, Ten Thousand Armies could only solve problems involving force.In the future, force would only be a very small part if Charlie wanted to increase the Wade family’s strength. What was even more important was operation and management.Even Charlie himself was far behind in this point.The Wade family would not only need a leader to point out the course when the time came, but they would also need an experienced trader with the safest and most efficient methods to help the Wade family, which was a huge ship, to sail even more stab

“No.” Janus shook his head and said, “My ancestral home is in Dothmain in Grochex Province. My father escaped and came to Hong Kong during the war and so, I was also born in Hong Kong. After that, my father relied on our ancestral goose roasting skills to make a living in Hong Kong before getting rooted in Hong Kong. After that, my family gradually became affluent, and they sent me to Europe and the United States to study.”Charlie asked curiously, “How did you meet my father, then?”Janus said, “I met your father when we were both hiking in the United States. We were both students at that time, and we just happened to run into each other when we were hiking during the holidays. In addition, our itineraries were almost the same and so, we went together and became friends after that. Since then, we would often talk together eloquently and pinpoint the current wrongs. We got along very well!”Having said that, Janus paused for a moment and then said, “However, since our schools were f

“What did he say?” Janus echoed Quinn, sighed, and then said helplessly, “Of course he did not believe me and said that I must have cuckolded him behind his back. He said that he would not believe me no matter how I tried to explain myself.”“However, he then said that he would forgive me this time for the sake of money. He would let me go back and recuperate while also giving me time to think things through clearly at the same time.”“If I got well and continued to help him make money, he would pretend that nothing had happened. Otherwise, it would cost me my life.”As Janus spoke of this, he smiled and added, “However, he would never have dreamt that I already had a backup plan in advance. When I decided to tell him all this, I had already asked my first girlfriend to come out of the villa in advance with her passport. I asked her to wait for me at the hospital near Mr. Long’s company.”Charlie was surprised and asked, “You already guessed that he would beat you up until you woul

At the very least, Charlie would certainly not have been as meticulous and thorough as Janus had been if he had been placed in the exact same situation.At this time, Janus had a childlike expression on his face as he smiled and said, “At that time, I was covered with injuries as I was sent to the hospital, but who would have thought that I would secretly run out of the hospital and elope with my first girlfriend just half an hour later?”As Janus spoke, he added, “I was originally planning to have us take a plane to Southeast Asia and then look for an opportunity to smuggle ourselves from Southeast Asia to the United States. However, little would I have expected that when Mr. Long returned to the villa, he did not see my first girlfriend there, and he found out that she had taken her passport away with her. So, he issued the pursuit order immediately after that, offering a reward of thirty million Hong Kong dollars for my life...”"At that time, the both of us had just arrived at t

When Charlie heard this, he no longer knew what to say.It sounded as if Janus had given up so much for love, but in the end, it had turned out to be all for nothing.It could even be said that he had lost both his wife and his army.Moreover, he was originally an elite amongst elites back in Hong Kong. His father was even willing to make sacrifices for him. Therefore, his original life was with unlimited prospects.However, he not only had to give up everything that he had in the end, but he had also offended a rich and powerful man whom he could not afford to mess with. It was so much so that he was unable to return to Hong Kong or even live in the United States with a reasonable and legal identity.An elite class who was at the top of society could only smuggle himself into the United States and be nestled in the dilapidated Oskiatown for more than twenty years alongside many Oskians who were working in Oskiatown illegally.It would not be too much to say that his life had bee

Charlie nodded gently, and he could not help but feel emotional as he said, “In my opinion, the only way to make my father’s spirit in heaven feel truly pleased would be to let the Wade family stand at the top of the world.”Janus was shocked when he heard this.He had never expected that Charlie would have such an ambition.However, he also knew very well that it was not difficult to have great ambition, but it was extremely difficult to turn it into reality.He was not quite sure how similar Charlie was to Curtis, but when he thought back to Curtis’ kindness to him, for a certain moment, he suddenly felt moved to serve Charlie.Nevertheless, his thoughts were the same as Charlie’s. He should not be expecting a deep friendship since this was their first meeting. After all, he did not know Charlie well, and Charlie might not think highly of him.So, the both of them tacitly agreed to talk more and more, and soon, they began talking about Charlie’s trip to New York.Janus asked C

As Ian Cash's trio turned and left Treasure Measure, Trippy was still standing there, staring blankly as they headed off to the distance, utterly dispirited.Seeing that, Raymond returned his phone and said coolly, "We had agreed on some ground rules, but not only did you break them, you even tried to sabotage me.""Since you refuse to be honorable, you can't blame me for being cold—starting now, we shall have nothing to do with each other. We'll be strangers even if we bump into each other."Trippy was already choking, and he snatched his phone back before dashing out of Treasure Measure, calling Mick Crane as soon as he left.Mick had just arrived at Vintage Deluxe and hadn't even sat down when Trippy called, and he asked as soon as he answered, "How did it go? What did you find out?"However, Trippy was so exasperated he burst into tears right then, "M-Mr. Crane… My dear Mr. Crane…"Mick was left reeling from shock, and he promptly snapped, "Can't you fucking talk? Why are you

Seeing that the transaction was complete and that the bargain deal had been taken, the other collectors all excused themselves and left.As for Ian, once he had bagged the bronze sculpture, he nodded at Raymond. "I apologize for leaving early, Mr. Cole, but I must return to Eastcliff. However, you can contact me again should you pick up another treasure. I'm quite a spendthrift, and I pay up right away if the item is good and the price is right."Raymond smiled. "Very well. I shall contact you first the next time I get something good."Ian nodded and was ready to leave with his two friends when Trippy chased after them."Please, Mr. Cash!" He cried urgently, his anxiety overcoming him. "You shouldn't buy that! It's a forgery!"Ian frowned at him. "Are you trying to sabotage Mr. Cole? Aren't you supposed to be his friend?""Hell, no!" Trippy promptly replied. "I'm no friend of his—I'm just here to watch, but I didn't think he dared to trick you for 20 million! I can't bear to see

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
