At this time, Marianne looked at Charlie and asked, “Why do you have to be in contact with my father when you are here to administer justice? Your so-called discussion to talk about the collaboration should also be fake, right?”Charlie shrugged. “The discussion about the collaboration is not necessarily fake. With Ito-Schulz Ocean Shipping Group’s rapid expansion and strength, there is indeed a great need for us to enhance its capacity. Although the ocean shipping company in your father’s hands has a certain capacity, it cannot convert 100% of its capacity into revenue. So, it could be considered a complementary advantage if the two sides collaborate on this basis. In fact, this is a win-win situation.”Marianne hesitated for a moment and then asked Charlie, “Then, is the justice that you are going to administer related to my father?”Charlie did not want to deceive Marianne, so he simply shook his head and said, “I have no comment on this for the time being.”Marianne seemed to h

When Marianne heard Charlie’s words, she felt even more emotional and reluctant.She pretended to be relaxed and smiled as she said, “Okay! I will take you there tomorrow night, then.”After saying that, she suddenly found that she had already run out of topics to talk about with Charlie.She did not dare to ask him about the previous topic, but she also did not know what else she could talk about with Charlie now.In truth, she had a lot of questions that she wanted to ask Charlie. For example, she wanted to ask him which part of Oskia he was from, whether he was already married at the age of twenty-eight years old, or whether he had a girlfriend. Or perhaps she could ask him if he would like to stay longer in Hong Kong because Marianne had a lot of places that she had never shared with others before, and she wanted to take Charlie there along with her for a walk or to take a look at the place and experience it with her. However, she did not dare to ask him any of these questi

Charlie asked curiously, “How long has it been since the food street was bought over?”Marianne thought for a while and said, “It must be for more than ten years now. My father bought it for me the year he got married.”Charlie asked her, “Do you know how much it cost when he bought it?”“I forgot...” Marianne said embarrassedly, “I’m actually not that sensitive in this aspect. I was still young at that time and simply thought that I wanted to keep the food street intact. So, I asked my father to buy it for me. I really do not know how much it cost.”Charlie asked again, “How do you know that there is still a deficit of two hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars every month, then?”“The manager was the one who told me.” Marianne said, “My father put someone else in charge of the operation of this food street before I became an adult. It was given to me to manage after I became an adult, but I do not know how to manage it. I only thought that I should not increase the rental to ensure

“Go to Oskia?”Charlie looked at Marianne in surprise and asked, “Haven’t you always been reluctant to leave Hong Kong?”Marianne said a little unnaturally, “That was before... I was still studying before this, so I did not want to leave Hong Kong. However, if I were to consider employment, there will definitely be even more room for development after I leave Hong Kong.”Charlie nodded faintly and said seriously, “Miss Marianne, if you’re really interested in going over to Oskia, you can go to Oskia to take a look after your graduation. You should walk around first and then choose a city that you like so that you can try to develop there. After all, you are highly educated and come from a good family background, so it should be very easy no matter where you choose to settle down.”Marianne hummed lightly in response. She wanted to ask Charlie which city he was from, but she could not bring herself to say those words when they reached the tip of her tongue. Meanwhile, the rain in

Unexpectedly, Solomon only wanted to avoid him.Rudy was helpless, and he could only sigh deeply as he felt extremely regretful in his heart.At this time, Solomon, who was aside, seemed to be very disgusted with him and he blurted out, “There is nothing else for you to do here. Why don’t you get lost? Must you continue standing here to be an eyesore for me?!”Rudy sighed before looking at Hunter and asking respectfully, “Excuse me, can I leave now?”Hunter threw Dillion, who was on his shoulders, in front of him and said coldly, “Take your son away.”Rudy glanced at Dillion in disgust, and he felt extreme anger. This prodigal son had cost him to lose ten billion US dollars in one afternoon. Rudy was already considered very benevolent for not killing Dillion on the spot, let alone taking him home.Rudy also planned to break off his father-son relationship with his son. He too did not want to see this loser son of his just like how Solomon did not want to see him anymore.So, h

Dillion had just woken up and was in pain all over his body, and he was filled with grievances. Unexpectedly, he saw that his own father was about to release his anger on him. He never would have dreamed that his own father would treat him as an enemy and rush up to kick him violently!He was in great pain after getting kicked several times by Rudy. He cried and shouted, “Dad, are you insane?! Why are you beating me?!”“Why am I beating you?!” Rudy panted as he cursed, “I’m beating you up because you’ve caused a lot of trouble for me, you scoundrel!”After that, Rudy sat on Dillion, grabbed his collar with one hand, and then slapped his face with the other as he scolded, “You b*stard! You’re always causing trouble for me! You’re going to piss me off to death sooner or later!”Dillion cried and yelled, “Dad... What did I do wrong? It’s fine if you’re not going to avenge me after I got beaten up like this, but why are you still beating me?!”Rudy was about to explode out of rage, bu

Shawn blurted out, “I like it. I like it very much!”Charlie nodded and said, “Mr. Long, you don’t have to worry so much. Miss Marianne took me to have a really good dinner tonight, so I cannot eat supper anymore. Anyway, it’s not early anymore, so we can continue discussing things slowly when we go to your company tomorrow.”Shawn waved his hand and said, “It’s nothing. We can discuss the collaboration at any time you want. I’ll ask Marianne to continue showing you around tomorrow. You are both young people so you must have a lot of common topics to talk about.”Having said that, Shawn hurriedly asked Marianne, “Marianne, you should have nothing on tomorrow, right? If you have nothing to do, you can continue to accompany Mr. Wade, then.”Marianne was overjoyed, and she was about to agree to Shawn’s request at that time. However, before she could speak, Charlie said directly, “Miss Marianne will have a charity sale in Tsim Sha Tsui tomorrow. I will not take up her time...”Mariann

Charlie followed Marianne and took the elevator to the third floor of the villa.After that, Marianne took Charlie to the center of two room doors. She then pointed at the room on the right and said to Charlie, “Mr. Wade, this is the guest room where you will be staying. It is a suite with an area of about eighty square meters with a living room, bedroom, and a separate bathroom.”Having said that, Marianne then opened the door and walked in with Charlie. Upon entering the door, they were greeted by the living room of this suite, which was about thirty square meters. The decoration was very luxurious, and there were all kinds of furniture and appliances in the suite.Marianne said to Charlie, “Mr. Wade, you can treat this place as a hotel, and you can call the butler directly if you have any needs. He will arrange for someone to serve you as soon as possible. In addition, I’m staying in the room opposite yours, and you can also come to me if you need anything.”Charlie thanked he

While Jacob was feeling delighted after pulling off his con, Raymond had posted details of the bronze sculpture online.The website he was using was the biggest platform for antique collectors and the antique trade where each user could set a favorite tag in the antique category and era. If a user who preferred canvas art pieces of the Tudor dynasty set that label as their favorite, they would immediately be notified with text or desktop notifications in regards to any item with the same label.As medieval bronze sculptures were rare in the first place, most who were interested had already set that label on their favorites and were immediately notified soon after Raymond posted pictures of the bronze sculpture online.The collectors were naturally eager to check it out as gilded sculptures of the medieval era were really rare, and most collectors would go a lifetime without picking one up for their collection.On top of that, the seller had even listed a major flaw and was only ask

"Nope," Jacob chuckled. "We were both working separately and just happened to get back in at the same time."Then, he immediately became smug and excited, "Guess what, dear? I made 200 thousand out of the deal! In net profits!""For real?!" Elaine gaped. "200 thousand in just one night?! That's amazing! How did you do that?"Claire was surprised to hear that too, and she came over to ask, "What deal was it, Dad?"Jacob grinned, "Oh, it's nothing to brag about. It's just that I managed to pick up a nice antique item thanks to my wisdom and then sold it for 200 thousand."Pausing, he then sighed in dismay, "However, the buyer wasn't too rich—I would have squeezed him for 400 thousand, but he couldn't afford more, so I had to settle for less."Elaine quickly exclaimed, "Shit, we're talking about a loss of 200 thousand! People would work a year and still never earn that much…"She trailed off for a moment before asking, "By the way, dear—are we still flying out first thing tomorrow?

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!

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
