After a short pause, Merlin added, “Bring in all the staff here tonight for investigation. Check if the number of personnel is the same, and let the staff identify if there are any missing people!”The police officers immediately got to work. After that, Merlin said to Charlie, “You’re most likely the only witnesses at the scene. You didn’t witness the full incident, but you’ll be a great help in solving this case. We’ll need to trouble you to follow us to the police station to make a statement later.”Charlie said, “Miss Golding is a public figure. If she’s seen going in and out of the police station at this time, I’m afraid the media here will try to fabricate fake news to gain attention. It'll be inconvenient.”Having said that, Charlie suggested, “How about this. We’ll go back to the hotel first. You may come to the hotel to meet us for the statement later. We’ll give you our full cooperation.”Merlin nodded and said, “That will do. Once I’m done with the crime scene, I’ll visi

Merlin had always been unhappy with Xavion, mainly because of his dislike for Xavion.He had also heard that Xavion’s father, Spencer, had taken the opportunity to seize power while Jordan was vulnerable. Merlin admired Jordan a lot, so he despised Spencer and his son, Xavion.Xavion could not deal with Merlin because Merlin was just too famous, and he also had a high political status in the White House. Merlin was known as the light of the Oskians in the United States. He had even received an award from the current president for solving a serial murder case that had lasted for ten years.He had a strong following and supporter base in the United States and was viewed as a symbol to the Oskians in the United States. If something were to happen to him, the Oskians in the United States would parade for his justice.Therefore, Xavion had no way to deal with Merlin at all. He could not offend him nor do anything to him. If he hurt him, it would hurt the Fox family a lot.Merlin looked

A police officer immediately came forward and warned him, “Sir, you have to leave now! If you continue to stay and disrupt the scene, we’ll have to take coercive measures against you!”Xavion ground his teeth as he barked, “I’ll see who dares to touch me!”The police officers were aware of Xavion’s identity, so they did not dare to use force on the furious Xavion.Merlin turned back and said, “Fine. Xavion, you can stay here if you’re just so stubborn.”Xavion was pleased to see Merlin’s compromise. He felt suffocated when others pushed him around and refused to comply with him. At last, he could at least win once.He snorted and said arrogantly, “Merlin, glad that you know what to do!”Merlin was not angered by Xavion’s arrogance at all. Instead, he spoke with a wry smile, “By the way, Xavion, the police are obliged to disclose such a tragic incident to the public. I'm sure many media will arrive soon to report this case. You can stay and have a good chat with them.”Upon sayin

The bodyguard’s words made Finley panic more, and he quickly asked, “Who else died?!”The bodyguard shook his head and said, “I’m not sure about that.”After that, he could not be bothered to talk to Finley anymore and left in a hurry.Finley immediately fell into deep thought. ‘Homer has gone missing? Who did this? What happened to those Iga ninjas? Are they the ones who died?!’Finley never thought that the eight Iga ninjas he hired would attack Homer instead. Hence, he speculated that it might be another enemy that had kidnapped Homer.Finley had done a lot of despicable deeds in his life. However, he could swear that he had absolutely nothing to do with Homer’s disappearance.It was rare for him to face something with a clear conscience like this.He was not worried that Homer’s disappearance would have anything to do with him. He was only worried about the implications. If something happened to Homer, Finley might temporarily lose his protection. In that case, he might be

According to the United States student visa policy, the visa would become invalid once you were expelled from the school. In this case, a student would have to leave the United States first in a normal process. However, this young man had been too ashamed to face his parents, so he had gone dark in New York.The young man had overstayed his visa illegally, and he did not have a fixed job or permanent residence. In order to survive, he usually stayed in an internet cafe in Oskiatown every day, and he earned his living by providing game-boosting services and doing other part-time jobs.If the income from his game-boosting job was insufficient, he would search for a one-day gig job to work. Once he had enough money, he would continue his stay in the internet cafe. He would come out to work when he ran out of money again.The young man was standing in the meeting room with the others while waiting for the police to question them.However, he was very anxious and nervous because he was

Merlin’s spirit was lifted, and he hurriedly questioned the young man further, “Tell me more about the Japanese men.”Hamley dared not delay further and hurriedly answered, “I was recruited by the hotel as a temporary worker, and there were dozens of men in the same batch of temporary workers who came with me. There were about seven to eight Japanese men too. However, they’re not in these photos!”Merlin asked, “Can you tell me what they look like? What about their characteristics?”Hamley gave it some thought and said, “They look like any ordinary people. However, they looked more stern and never smiled at all. They never spoke and only used eye contact to communicate. They appeared sneaky and didn’t seem like good people at first glance.”Merlin asked in surprise, “How did you know they’re Japanese if they never spoke?”Hamley said, “I unintentionally saw one of their phones while on the way here, and he was using Japanese on his phone.”Merlin then asked, “Did you encounter th

Fisher did not dare not to tell the police the truth nor confess to Xavion. After all, his family’s lives were in the ninjas’ hands.His life did not matter. However, what was the point of living if he could not save his family’s lives?!While he was feeling apprehensive, a police officer came over to him and asked, “Are you, Mr. Fisher Charles?”Fisher panicked a little and answered, “I-I... I am...”The police officer waved at him and said coldly, “Come with me.”Fisher panicked. He had no other choice but to follow the police officer with heavy footsteps. He soon came to Merlin's temporary office next door, and once inside, he trembled all over in fright.He was afraid of Merlin because he had heard of Merlin’s reputation. Thus, he timidly came to Merlin and stuttered, “H-Hello, Chief... Chief Lammy...”Merlin stared at him before suddenly interrogating him coldly, “Fisher Charles! Why did you collude with the Japanese ninjas to kidnap Homer Fox?!”Merlin’s sudden angry roar
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 4157
In Merlin’s point of view, the culprit had only tampered with surveillance footage within the hotel. If Fisher and the Japanese men had met outside before, it would be difficult for them to avoid all city surveillance.If Fisher could provide him with the time and place where they had met before, he would be able to find the video of these people.Charlie had left The Palace Hotel with Quinn, Dorothy, and Janus while Merlin was mobilizing the police to search for the video data based on Fisher’s confession.The charity dinner had been interrupted, leaving the group with no dinner. Thus, Charlie suggested finding a place to have dinner first.Besides, he was certain that Janus must have something to say to him. He also wanted to hear other suggestions from Janus.Janus did indeed have a lot of questions for Charlie. Charlie had ordered those Japanese ninjas to kidnap the Fox family’s young master, and this was no joke at all. He was afraid that Charlie could not handle it well, lea

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
