Therefore, this also made her even more curious about Charlie’s true identity.The waitress soon came over diligently with the POS machine. After helping Charlie swipe his card, she immediately reported three big news to her manager. The first news was that the famous Marianne had actually come to their shop.The second news was that the man who came with her was unexpectedly holding a black gold card.And the third news was that Marianne seemed to be in a relationship with that man. When the manager heard about this, he instructed the waitress to serve Charlie well. At the same time, he also subconsciously took out his cell phone and prepared to call Dillion, who was the young master of the Brown family. Everyone knew that Dillion had been pursuing Marianne for a long time, but now, it seemed that Marianne already had a boyfriend. Therefore, he planned to report this news to Dillion as soon as possible.However, when he called Dillion, he found that he could not get throug

In an instant, all the members of the Order of the Star throughout Hong Kong received a message that they were supposed to look for the whereabouts of Marianne, who was the eldest young lady of the Long family. However, the vast majority of people would not have imagined that Marianne was sitting in a nightclub operated by the Order of the Star at this time. The waitress brought up the set menu and drinks ordered by Charlie, and the manager of the nightclub also came forward and said respectfully, “Our most distinguished guests, my name is Waltor, and I’m the manager here. You can tell me directly if you have any needs or requests.”Charlie waved at him and said, “Okay. You can just go ahead and get busy.”The manager of the nightclub hurriedly nodded and said, “Okay, Sir. I’ll leave you alone, then.”Having said that, he turned around and returned to the bar. He suddenly received a text message from the Order of the Star on his cell phone.When he saw that Solomon, the leader

Meanwhile, in ClubWaves in Lan Kwai Fong.ClubWaves had stopped allowing any other casual customers from entering because of the news received. Many of the members of the Order of the Star who were in the vicinity also quickly rushed over to provide their support.They began guarding all the entrances and exits of the entire nightclub first in case Charlie and Marianne were to escape.Mr. Lanyon also brought his men with him as they quickly rushed over from Saffron Ridge.Charlie was sitting in the booth in the nightclub at this time. He picked up a bottle of Ace of Spades wine and asked Marianne, “Miss Marianne, would you like a drink?”Marianne shook her head nervously. “I never drink.”Charlie looked at her and smiled as he asked, “Are you afraid?” Marianne nodded. “A little...” Having said that, Marianne asked Charlie, “Should I ask my dad to come over?”“No.” Charlie smiled and said, “Someone will definitely call him later.”Marianne was helpless and said, “In the e

Marianne soon discovered a strange phenomenon. All the waitresses in the entire nightclub seemed to be whispering something to the guests at the other tables separately. Soon after, the guests who had communicated with the waitresses would then get up and leave immediately.She could not help but feel somewhat nervous, and she whispered to Charlie, “Are they already here? I think that there seems to be something wrong with these waitresses.”Charlie smiled slightly and said, “Don’t be nervous. The good show is just about to begin.”With that being said, Charlie poured himself another glass of wine and took a sip of it.Soon, almost all the other guests in the nightclub were gone, leaving only Charlie and Marianne at their booth. Immediately afterward, all the lights on the ceiling instantly lit up, illuminating the dim nightclub as bright as daylight. The loud and explosive music also came to an abrupt end, and the DJ and waitresses quickly left through the staff passageway.

Charlie sneered. “You’re not worthy enough to ask me about my origin. Aren’t you here to solve the problem? I’ll give you a solution to the problem now. As the leader of the Order of the Star, you condoned your subordinates’ actions and assisted the evildoers. I will take your old age into account and not pursue this matter if you bow and apologize to me here today.”After that, he pointed at Rudy, who was next to Solomon, and said coldly, “You’re Dillion’s father, right? Your son plotted against Miss Marianne today. As a father, you did not teach your son properly and so, you naturally cannot shirk this responsibility. I will not hold you accountable if you kneel and grovel three times before Miss Marianne now.”Charlie’s remarks made both Solomon and Rudy extremely furious.This was especially so for Solomon. He had been in the underground world for most of his life, but he had never met anyone as arrogant as Charlie before. So, Solomon said angrily to Mr. Lanyon, “Mr. Lanyon, I

At this time, Shawn, who had just eaten dinner at his mansion, was lounging by the pool with a bathrobe on and a cigar in his mouth.Jenna, who still had a beautiful figure, was wearing a bikini as she accompanied him.Jenna, who hadn’t worn a bikini in a long time, felt somewhat uncomfortable and said, “Shawn, we have a guest at our house. Wouldn’t it be inappropriate if he were to see me dressed like this?”Shawn grinned and said, “What are you afraid of? Charlie is having dinner with Marianne, so he won't be back too early.”Jenna was helpless and asked him, “Why do you want to swim at night? Why are you in such a good mood?”Shawn’s belly was bulging as he smoked his cigar, and he smiled and said to Jenna, “I heard that the United States will be deporting Janus back soon. If it’s quick, he might arrive as early as the day after tomorrow!”Jenna’s expression turned pale immediately as she said, “Shawn, you really cannot let him off?”Shawn glared at her and asked coldly, “Why

Shawn put on his bathrobe and said lightly, “Alright, then. You should just wait at home. I’ll go and see what’s going on.”Jenna asked him, “Do you want me to come with you?”“No need.” Shawn waved his hand and said, “It’ll be more troublesome if you come.”***Soon, a convoy of three Rolls-Royces drove out of Shawn’s mansion on Steerlain Island.The convoy drove speedily to Lan Kwai Fong as soon as it came out.Meanwhile, in ClubWaves, Solomon was sitting in front of Charlie and Marianne with a smile on his face.Solomon looked at Charlie and smiled as he said, “Kid, you’re really lucky. You’ve caused a lot of trouble, but there’s a beauty like Miss Long who is willing to protect you at all costs. You’re really fortunate. You really have to thank Miss Long if you can walk out of this place alive tonight.”Charlie said indifferently, “You should be the one thanking her. If she hadn’t stopped me, I’d have killed you long ago.”“F*ck!” The faces of several of Solomon’s subordin

When Shawn saw that Solomon was already acting like a thug, he knew that it would be impossible for him to reason with the other party regarding this matter.So, his expression gradually calmed down as he spoke up and asked, “Mr. Star, how do you want to solve this matter? Just tell me directly.”Solomon looked at Shawn and then at Marianne, and he snorted coldly as he said, “Mr. Long, don’t say that I’m not friendly or unreasonable. I know that your daughter did not make a move on any of my Order of the Star members, and I know that she did not do anything to hurt my god-grandson, Dillion. So, you just need to fork out ten million US dollars to bring her back.”“Ten million US dollars?!” Shawn blurted out as if someone had stepped on his tail. “Mr. Star, have you made a mistake? You were the one who said that my daughter did not do anything. Don’t you think that you’re asking for a little too much if you want to take ten million US dollars for nothing?!”Solomon sneered, “Why? Mr.

Jacob laughed. "Put that issue behind us? Sure, but we're not becoming friends. Hell, I can't even hold a grudge now that you're shit out of luck."Then, his tone changed sharply and suddenly became icy, "But you see, Aurous Hill is not a place you can stay just because you want to. No… After this, you're not going to be able to make a living in the antique trade.""If I were you, I'd be running a thousand miles away, far away from Aurous Hill where no one would know my face to start over. That way, you just might be able to make a living."Raymond simply kept smiling, "You need not be concerned about how I'm going to survive here, Mr. Wilson. I'd be very grateful if you'd cease any form of harassment once you leave my premises."Jacob pursed his lips, staring at Raymond in disappointment. "I'm plenty magnanimous, so I won't stoop to such pettiness. Just do whatever you like!"Clicking his tongue, he huffed, "Tut, tut… And here I'd thought you're tough, but you're just yet another

Raymond chuckled at the title, humble as ever, "The Duke of Wastage? Now, that's quite the royal title, and I don't think I deserve such an honor…"Trailing off, he then made an especially curious look, "By the way, how'd you know they were calling me that?"Seeing that he was still so ignorant, Jacob scoffed. "You bought a Renaissance-era bronze sculpture earlier, didn't you?"Raymond nodded. "I did. But technically, it's medieval and not Renaissance, along with a Renaissance-era base."Jacob clutched his stomach as he laughed, "Oh, please! Medieval? Hahaha… You're killing me, Mr. Cole!"Raymond kept a serious look on his face. "It's really medieval. Why don't you take a look?""No way," Jacob snorted, pursing his lips. "Anyway, word has already spread that someone was selling a counterfeit bronze sculpture to defraud Antique Street for some serious dough. He went first to Vintage Deluxe, but their manager, Mr. Crane, saw through it and didn't buy it… and then he came to you, an

That was why most of the collectors only knew that such an item existed but they did not know in whose possession it was.After registering a new account and paying the ten thousand registration fee, Raymond got in.It was very safe as it was anonymous, and he posted a photo of the bronze sculpture and an announcement with an asking price of twenty million.In his opinion, it wasn't that expensive—if it was still gilded, it would be worth around a hundred million. Without it, it was plenty reasonable to cut the price down to just thirty million.And Raymond was cutting another ten million off that, so twenty million was plenty reasonable.Moreover, medieval bronze sculptures were exceedingly rare, and less than one specimen showed up annually at times. Collectors who desired it would therefore be willing to break the bank for it, and that was why Raymond was sure that someone would put in an order once he posted it.As he wrote the summary of the item, someone knocked on his door

Jacob frowned in disdain. "Why would I be worried? He's no longer the manager of Vintage Deluxe, and he just lost a shit ton of money for messing up his appraisal. I am also the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, so why would I be worried about some loser who will soon be kicked out of Antique Street?"Straightening his collar, he snorted coldly, "I am now going to see Raymond Cole and humiliate him face-to-face! He thinks he's impressive, doesn't he? Let's see how he will keep up that facade!"Zachary chuckled, "Yes, exactly! People like him need to be given a slap in the face! As hard as you can! Don't worry—I'll be right behind you. If he gets physical, I'll rush in to help. If he doesn't dare to start a fight, you just insult him as much as possible!""Good plan!" Jacob nodded since he was concerned that Raymond might get physical when pushed too far.And with his body, there was no way he could beat anyone…Spreading his arms, he exclaimed, "Come! I'l

Mick inspected every video to see who was getting the most views, and he then paid out of his own pocket to use paid advertising to get the video viral.It cost five thousand and it hurt, but reaching the trending page was definitely worth it.Mick was quite shrewd too, making sure that the paid advertising was focused locally. After all, he knew all too well that five thousand didn't buy many clicks, and clicks from elsewhere might be too sporadic to gain any worthwhile attention.As he worked in Antique Street, he naturally had to come up with a plan to promote himself in this place, ideally presenting himself as a master appraiser.That way, his fame would slowly extend throughout the province and perhaps Eastern Oskia, and eventually the country.As such, focusing on Aurous Hill was the best idea.Moreover, he also had another idea—if Jasmine Moore happened to see this video, she would see him in a new light.When that happened, he could look forward to getting really rich!
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6478
Soon, the video of Mick's staged act was uploaded to the online group, and everyone eagerly watched it as soon as it was done uploading.Mick certainly set a new bar with his acting as none of them could see that it was an act.Moreover, everyone could see that the bronze sculpture looked like the real deal, and they might have been swindled if it were them.As such, they couldn't help being impressed as Mick had easily seen through Billy's con, and he was the definition of a pro in that video.No matter how Billy had packaged it, there was no tricking real experts like Mick Crane. Just a quick glance and he had seen through that it was a postmodern replica, matched with a base from the Renaissance era to misdirect and beguile.With that, many fellow antique dealers changed their opinion of Mick.After all, Vintage Deluxe's business had been declining after Mick took over as manager, and people were presuming that his skills were lacking.But now, they were all shown that he had

"Amazing, Mr. Crane!""It's Mr. Crane who shines through, in the end! His eyes see through everything!""I guess Miss Moore made the right choice firing Raymond and appointing Mr. Crane! Mr. Crane is infinitely better!"Mick was immediately thrilled to see them fawning over him, and he laughed, "You flatter me—I'm merely sharing my personal perspective on this. In this trade, anyone who knows would understand how hard it is to get the good stuff in this age of technology.""There are plenty of people who hold ulterior motives and change their tactics knowing that there are always those scheming to get their hands on vintage treasures, so they just have to make it. That is how they started making counterfeits of everything, from scrolls to sculptures to statues, each of them so real just to trick those fools who think they could get rich overnight!""Exactly!" Someone promptly agreed. "There's never a lack of any such fools, and I just happened to meet one. I had this piece of jade

In groups like these, any gossip would immediately spread like wildfire as people share everything here with their other circles.Within minutes of these people's good work, Antique Street was abuzz even as the skies darkened: one of the antique traders had been swindled for 300 thousand, and it was Raymond Cole—the former manager of the Vintage Deluxe at that!Some of them wondered when Raymond had actually returned while others were laughing.He was supposed to be the former manager of the Vintage Deluxe, but he had messed up as well? You had to be kidding!Many were dumbstruck too—how would Raymond survive in Antique Street after losing so much money? It had been so long since such a major scam had been pulled!As such, all the antique dealers were asking one question: how did Raymond Cole get fooled?Meanwhile, Mick didn't leak the security footage right away, instead sending his people out to spread the news in other channels, claiming that Raymond thought he had won big by

Mick had already clipped the security footage and was waiting for Zachary's word.He had checked the footage repeatedly as well and was only getting more impressed with his masterful acting by the second. He looked just like a maestro, and every detail he mentioned was flawless and showed experience.Zacahry even said that Raymond had truly slipped up with that bronze sculpture, leaving him endlessly thrilled.The proverbial missing piece of the puzzle was here!Hence, calling all the staff he trusted, he told them excitedly, "Spread the word right away—Raymond Cole slipped up, spending 300 thousand on a fake Renaissance-era bronze sculpture!"His staff had no idea of the conspiracy involved, only that Mick had said that someone had tried to sell a counterfeit bronze sculpture but he had seen through it right away and chased him away, only for Raymond to end up buying the fake bronze sculpture soon after.Someone asked, "Mr. Crane, don't you think Raymond Cole bought from the man
