The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 4241
Charlie noticed Xavion’s awkward expression and silence, so he slammed his fist on the table hard and questioned, “What? Are you not happy with my arrangement?”“N-no! It’s a good arrangement!” Xavion shuddered again and said without hesitation, “I’ll make the arrangements now! I’ll get on it!”Then, he hurriedly took out his phone and called the assistant.To express his sincerity, he even turned on the speakerphone and said, “Transfer the venue we just bought to Miss Golding’s agency company immediately for one US dollar. Bring the lawyer to meet with Miss Golding’s agent now. Complete the transfer as soon as possible!”The assistant was stunned by Xavion’s new order, and he asked, “Master, we’ve just compensated Miss Golding’s agency ten times the cost of the venue. Now, you want to give the venue to the other party for nothing?!”Xavion burst out impatiently, “Just do as you’re told! Why are you asking so many questions?!”The assistant hurriedly said, “Master, I’m sorry for

Spencer and Xavion felt as though they were on the verge of death.Their alcohol tolerance was only average. Thinking about drinking three big glasses in a row made them feel like vomiting before they had even touched the liquor.Unfortunately, Charlie did not give them any leeway at all.He glared at Xavion and warned him coldly, “What are you waiting for? Why don’t you hurry up? Do you want me to pour you a drink?”Xavion gnashed his teeth, and he stepped forward in a panic, opening one of the Moutai bottles with trembling hands.Meanwhile, Charlie arranged the two glasses side by side and said, “Come on. Pour the liquor!” Xavion could only do as he was told, and he poured the two full glasses of the white spirit.Once Xavion had poured the liquor, Charlie gestured to them and ordered, “Come on. Drink.”Spencer stared at the liquor in fright and spoke in a trembling voice, “Mr. Wade, I-I... I have high blood pressure and high blood sugar too... The doctor has repeatedly told

At this time, Spencer, who was next to him, was still holding onto the wine glass. The man dared not take a single sip.His son Xavion however, was very quick about it.This immediately made him panic. “If I let this bastard Xavion finish drinking first, wouldn’t I be done for?!”As Spencer thought of how he had just gotten slapped because of Xavion just now, his irritation and anger grew. He let out a hard cough immediately and glared at Xavion as he cursed, “Ahem! You unfilial son! You’re drinking so fast. Is it because you want to reward your father with an extra glass?!”Xavion was about to pinch his nose and finish the rest of the liquor when he suddenly heard his father yelling, he was so frightened that he almost lost grip of the wine glass. Panicked, he came back to his senses. He turned to stare at his father after that, only to find that the liquor in Spencer’s glass was still untouched. At this moment, he finally realized that he had almost made another big mistake.

After Spencer downed his glass, he began seeing double images. The dizziness made him faint, and he felt as though he had just been punched in the gut.Xavion had no courage to go against his father, so he could only wait for Spencer to finish before proceeding to hurriedly swallow the remaining liquor in his glass.By then, the time on Charlie’s stopwatch hadn’t reached a minute yet.When Charlie saw the father and son duo gasping for breath, their faces flushed red, he grinned. He waved his hand and said cheerfully, “Come, now! Have a second drink. I’d like to trouble Master Fox to refill the wine glasses!”Xavion’s legs were already beginning to sway, but he dared not disobey Charlie’s command. He could only tremble as he picked up the wine glass once again, and poured two more glasses for his father and himself. Immediately afterwards, Charlie looked at the stopwatch again and said, “Let’s stick to the old rules. I’ll give you one minute each to drink your respective glasses.

Xavion hurriedly replied, “I’ll do it myself, sir. I’ll do it myself!”He fumbled to fill up another glass with liquor, forcing himself to endure the severe dizziness as he gulped the burning alcohol down his throat.Soon, he could feel the alcohol’s effects getting stronger and stronger. Not daring to delay any longer, he hurriedly filled up the last glass while he was still conscious, and drank it all. After finishing the last glass of liquor, Xavion felt his stomach burning, as if it was on fire. He had gone through four glasses, and now, he sensed that he was on the verge of collapse. When he saw that his task was already completed, he heaved a sigh of relief before collapsing on the ground with a heavy thud.When Charlie saw that both the father and son had passed out, he stood up and said to Quinn, “Nana, we won’t have an appetite if we look after two drunks. Why don’t we go somewhere else?”Quinn stuck her tongue out cheekily and said, “Okay, Brother Charlie. Even the smel

Oskiatown.When Charlie and Quinn arrived at Janus’ roast goose restaurant, it was to find him busy cleaning up together with his other workers.It was already long past noon, and there were no more customers in the restaurant. Quinn was also not worried about getting recognized, so she simply put on a mask and entered the restaurant with Charlie without any care in the world. As soon as both went past the door, the sensor rang, reminding Janus that there were guests. The busy man spoke without raising his head, “Sorry, we are closed.”Charlie smiled. “Feel free to prepare something for us to eat. We haven’t eaten yet.”Upon hearing Charlie’s voice, Janus turned his head and saw that Charlie was here together with Quinn. Delighted, he smiled and said joyfully, “Oh, my! Why haven’t the both of you eaten until now?”Quinn hooked Charlie’s arm and greeted daintily, “Hello, Uncle Janus!”Charlie’s smile widened. “Uncle Janus, we went for a walk at the Fox family’s manor around noon
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 4247
Janus replied, “In fact, the restaurant’s already closed. The two people that you just saw are my old friends’ children. It’s already so late, but they haven’t eaten lunch yet. So I told them to go upstairs.”Janus then added, “But since you’re already here, I can’t possibly let your trip here be for naught. Do take a seat on the first floor. Tell me what you want to eat, and I’ll prepare it for you right away.”“Okay.” Christian nodded with a smile. “Thank you, Boss.”He then said to Merlin, “Merlin, feel free to sit down. I’ll let you try the best Oskian-style roast goose in all of New York.”Merlin smacked his lips in anticipation. “Geez. I actually just want to have a couple of drinks right now.”His gaze fell on the small wine cabinet behind the restaurant counter. Surprised, he asked, “Boss, you sell Macallan here?”“Yes.” Janus smiled . “It’s imported from Oskia. Would you like to try a bottle?”Merlin grinned cheerfully. “Yes! Give us two bottles!”Christian teased, “Yo

Meanwhile, Janus had come up with two dishes. One was the signature Oskian-style roast goose, and the other was his specialty dish, a marinated meat platter. He placed the dishes in front of Charlie and Quinn, and then whispered to them, “Young Master Wade, Miss Golding. There’s a regular customer in the restaurant along with the Oskian detective, Merlin Lammy. You shouldn’t go down for the time being.”Charlie hurriedly asked, “Uncle Janus. Merlin Lammy did not recognize you, right?”“No,” Janus said. “Previously, I dressed very differently from the usual. Besides, it was only a one-sided encounter, so it might be a little difficult for him to remember me. I deliberately tested it just now. He didn’t recognize me at all, so it should be fine.”“That’s good.” Charlie was slightly relieved. Out of curiosity, he asked again, “Uncle Janus, do you know the middle-aged man who came with Merlin Lammy?”Janus replied, “I’ve known him for a long time. He was always a regular, but I don’t

Zachary was instantly relieved to hear that Jacob's flight was taking off soon.The issue at hand was troublesome, but he would at least have time to come up with a plan if he was given more time.Moreover, Jacob didn't know anything and would be in Dubai in a few hours. Most importantly, he wouldn't be bothered with Aurous Hill gossip when he arrived, giving Zachary more time to deal with this mess.As such, Zachary quickly said, "Oh, nothing, Mr. President. I was just calling to check on your flight, but since you're flying now, I'm sure the air stewardess will be asking you to turn the flight mode on. I shan't be a bother now—I wish you safe travels with the missus!" Seeing how cordial Zachary was, Jacob chuckled, "How nice of you. I'll definitely get you some local souvenirs!""Oh, then allow me to thank you ahead of time, Mr. President!" Zachary exclaimed, as subservient as ever."Uh-huh," Jacob replied. "Well, I'm hanging up now. Let's catch up later.""Yes, yes, yes, let

Mr. Cardensky's forgery syndicate had made the bronze sculpture—all Zachary had done was talk Jacob into buying it, and Jacob himself had made some money after Raymond bought it.That meant the entire plot had nothing to do with Zachary as he was just a mediator at best.In other words, if the bronze sculpture was worth nothing, he didn't lose anything… although he wouldn't make a cent even if it was worth a hundred million.However, he also knew all too well what Jacob Wilson was like.In fact, in this world, he was only second to Charlie when it came to knowing what type of man Jacob Wilson really was—not even Claire or Elaine would win against them.He was a dead man.That was Zachary's immediate thought on the matter, should Jacob ever find out.After all, Jacob was precisely one of those people who didn't play by any rules—no buyer's regret? No seller's remorse? None of that applied to him.Not even the Gods could make Jacob offer a refund if he scalped them. And vice vers

As Mick Crane had established a corrupted hierarchy in Vintage Deluxe, he had to make sure his position was never threatened by Raymond Cole.That was why he wanted Raymond gone, and it was obvious from that how important self-gain was to him.However, though he plotted to protect this job with a salary of several hundred grand per annum and incentives worth just as much, he didn't think that doing so meant he had missed out on 20 million.And to add insult to injury, that 20 million had ended up in Raymond's pocket.Mick wasn't just thunderstruck—he wished he was dead.Hanging up on Trippy right then, he called Zachary directly since Zachary had told him earlier that text notifications from his number would be silenced.Zachary was just about to fall asleep when his phone began buzzing.Already annoyed when he picked up his phone, he immediately snapped at Mick when he saw who the caller was. "I told you! Text me if you have any updates, and I'll check it when I wake up! Why ar

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
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6498
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
