Anyway, his battle with Shawn would begin the moment Janus came out of the airport customs in the afternoon. So, there was nothing wrong with having Shawn’s wife around to witness it.However, Charlie did not want Marianne to tag along.After all, after getting along with Charlie over the past two days, he had gotten to know Marianne better. He did not want her to have to personally witness his conflict with her own father. What’s more, Charlie had been concealing something when he came to Hong Kong and approached Shawn this time. So, he too did not want to tear off his disguise in front of Marianne. According to his plan, he would no longer have any further contact with Shawn and the Long family after dealing with all the problems properly at the airport. His intersection with Marianne would also come to an end after this meal.Marianne did not know what Charlie was thinking. She had originally hoped that she would be able to go together with them, and it did not matter who the

2:00 pm.Janus’s flight landed at Hong Kong Airport on time.At this time, Janus was sitting in the window seat, and he had mixed feelings.He had been away from Hong Kong for too long, and the scenery outside the window no longer felt familiar to him. The only thing that he was familiar with was the traditional characters of the Hong Kong dialect that could be seen everywhere. These traditional characters of the Hong Kong dialect reminded him that he had finally returned to his hometown after twenty years. However, what he regretted was that he probably would not have the opportunity to get reacquainted with Hong Kong which he had left behind for twenty years now. His life would probably begin entering a countdown the moment he landed in Hong Kong.At this time, a male flight attendant came over to him and reminded him, “Mr. Campbell, according to the regulations, you should not get off the plane immediately. You’ll have to wait for all the other passengers to get off the plan

Meanwhile, Charlie, Shawn, and Jenna had also arrived at Hong Kong Airport. The convoy stopped outside the arrival hall of Hong Kong Airport, and Shawn then said to Charlie excitedly, “Mr. Wade, Miss Fox should be arriving soon, right?”Charlie looked at the time and said indifferently, “Almost. There are ten more minutes.”Shawn smiled and asked, “Do you think we should wait in the car or wait inside?”Charlie said casually, “Go inside and wait.”After saying that, he opened the car door first and got out of the car.Shawn was about to get out of the car when the driver turned around and said in a low voice, “Boss, I’ve just received news that Janus has already entered customs.” “Oh, he has already arrived?” Shawn nodded and muttered, “To be honest, I would really like to meet that b*stard and see what f*cking state he is in now... But my wife is here today, so it’d be better for us to try not to meet him.”The driver hurriedly said, “Mr. Wade said that Miss Fox will be arri

Although Shawn and Jenna had already reached the tip of the pyramid in Hong Kong, they were still far behind in terms of the world.The strength of the Fox family was already no longer on the list of ordinary rich people. Instead, their strength already belonged to that of the hidden top wealthy families. Their comprehensive strength was countless times stronger compared to Shawn. Kathleen was also the head of the Fox family, and this was even more unattainable to Shawn and Jenna. At this moment, their mentality was that of the mentality of the richest man in a small county who had finally gotten the opportunity to meet with the richest man in the country. In addition to being extremely excited, they were also inevitably nervous at this time. On the contrary, Charlie was in a very relaxed state, and he had his hands in his pockets as he swaggered into the arrival hall.Many people had come to pick others up in the arrival hall at this time, but Jenna did not put on her sunglass

Both of them looked at each other with shock and disbelief in their eyes.They had originally thought that Kathleen was Charlie’s friend, but unexpectedly, Kathleen was actually humbling herself in front of Charlie. She was even addressing Charlie respectfully and saying that it was her honor to share Charlie’s worries. This was a little too humble, and it seemed more like a subordinate’s tone and attitude toward her boss. Neither one of them could understand why Kathleen, who was the head of the Fox family, would be so humble toward Charlie. At this time, Charlie then said to Kathleen, “Miss Fox, let me introduce you to two of my friends.”Having said that, he pointed at Shawn, who was next to him, and said, “This is the famous Shawn Long from Hong Kong, and the one next to him is his wife, Jenna Fuller.”Kathleen was shocked as soon as she heard their names. She knew that Charlie had come to Hong Kong this time in order to help Janus solve his problem. Besides, she also kn

By virtue of his status as a shareholder of Hong Kong Airport, after Shawn had made a phone call, an airport executive rushed over immediately. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he invited everyone to the VIP lounge on the second floor of the arrival hall. This VIP lounge itself was used for the reception of VIP customers. Shawn had also thought of whether he should prepare a lounge earlier.However, when he thought of how Kathleen was a distinguished guest, he felt that he should stand in the arrival hall to wait and greet her so that it could seem as if he was paying enough attention to her. Otherwise, if he were to sit in the VIP lounge and wait for others to bring Kathleen over, it would seem as if he was being a little too arrogant. Shawn was still a little concerned about this matter after coming to the VIP lounge. So, he asked Charlie, “Mr. Wade, would it be inappropriate for me to sit here and wait for your distinguished guest? Why don’t you tell me the name of your d

Porter clasped one of his hands over the other and said, “Don’t worry, Miss Fox. I will definitely cooperate fully with you on my end.”Shawn, who was next to him, was shocked when he heard this, and he thought to himself, ‘Based on Kathleen’s words, why does it seem as if Charlie is the real boss of Ito-Schulz Ocean Shipping Group? It seems as though Autumn is only working under Charlie’s command...’As he thought of this, he could not help but sigh as he thought to himself, ‘That’s right! Charlie is a big shot with such a strong background. It’s simply impossible for him to be just an assistant at Ito-Schulz Ocean Shipping Group!’‘If Charlie is indeed the behind-the-scenes boss of Ito-Schulz Ocean Shipping Group, I’m afraid that Charlie’s real strength is probably much stronger than I’ve imagined!’ Shawn then subconsciously looked at Charlie, and he felt that a talented person like Charlie, who had two great figures such as Porter and Kathleen by his side, would definitely have

Janus trembled all over when he heard this voice. He raised his head immediately and looked in the direction of the voice. He was surprised to find that Charlie was looking at him with a smile on his face.He was so shocked that he was speechless for a moment. It was only after a long time that he finally muttered, “Young Master Wade, you... why are you here?!” Charlie looked at Janus, and he could not help but feel a little surprised. This was because Janus seemed to have aged a lot, and he looked rather disheveled after Charlie had not seen him for just a few days. Come to think of it, Janus must have suffered a lot, so Charlie smiled slightly and said casually, “I’ve already been here for a few days. I cannot ignore something as big as your return home, so I came to Hong Kong this time to make sure that you can return home unharmed. I will also make sure that no one will dare to lay a finger on you from now on.”Janus hurriedly said, “Young Master Wade, Shawn has offered a b

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
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6474
Raymond had said everything he should and shouldn't and with complete sincerity exactly because Billy would never believe it.As Billy just wanted to swindle him, it didn't matter how sincere Raymond was—he wanted the 300 thousand whatever it took. The key here was that Billy had refused a better prospect when told it was possible, and there was evidence that would support Raymond if either he or Zachary realized the truth and came to start trouble.That meant Raymond had nothing to worry about—they could take this to the United Nations but he'd still win this case.Having been in the antique trade for so long, he had seen every form of oddity and was always cautious with people, considering every aspect of any issue.Hence, once he downloaded the security footage to his phone, Raymond decided that he needed to sell the bronze sculpture—not because he was in urgent need of money, but because he realized that there were those who wanted him out of Aurous Hill's Antique Street.Afte
