The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 4568
Charlie’s words frightened Shawn so much that he fainted directly. Jenna, who was beside him, hurriedly reached out her hands to hold him and support his head. She shook him as she shouted in his ear, “What’s wrong with you, Shawn?! Wake up, Shawn! Don’t scare me like this...”Thanks to Jenna’s screams, Shawn woke up with a start. The first thing he did when he woke up was to look at Charlie as he cried and said, “Mr. Wade, you’re killing me! How can I possibly afford to give you twenty billion US dollars in ten years?!”As Shawn said that, he cried bitterly and said, “It’s true that I was not trustworthy and went back on my word, but you cannot take advantage of this matter to ask me for so much money! You might as well kill me directly if you want so much money from me! Why don’t you kill me? If you kill me, my inheritance can still be left to Marianne and all my other children. However, if I make you that promise, I will be left with nothing, and their futures will also be penni

“It’s okay.” Charlie waved his hand. “You can go ahead and buy it first. Get an invoice for the amount that you spend, and I will reimburse you for it. If you don’t have money to pay in advance, you can call me when you have decided, and I will arrange for someone to go over to settle the bill.”Shawn became even more and more frightened. He knelt down and said with an expression full of remorse, “Mr. Wade, I am sincerely repentant now. Please give me another chance, and we can discuss the specific amount...”Charlie smiled slightly, “Mr. Long, there is no need for us to continue discussing such matters. I don’t want your money. You can just go ahead and die, and you won’t have to worry about anything else.”Shawn was so frightened at this point that he instantly burst into tears. He felt that if Charlie really wanted to take his life, he would not have any way to survive at all. Even if he was a billionaire, Porter would have ten thousand ways to kill him in one day.As Shawn thou

Charlie did not continue covering up in the face of Marianne’s questioning. He asked Marianne, “Miss Long, do you know that your father once made a promise to a man named Curtis Wade more than twenty years ago, saying that he would not continue causing trouble for a young man named Janus Campbell? However, Curtis Wade passed away due to an accident not long after that, and your father then broke his promise immediately, causing Janus Campbell to live in hiding in Oskiatown for more than twenty years.”Marianne’s eyes widened as she stared at Charlie in disbelief and asked him, “What... What is your relationship with these two people?”Charlie said indifferently, “Curtis Wade is my father, and Janus Campbell is my father’s good friend.”When Marianne heard this news, she was instantly shocked. She stared at Charlie, choked up, and said, “So, that means that you did not come to Hong Kong and stay in our house to discuss a collaboration with my father at all. You were deliberately appr

So, he knelt down in front of Charlie again and begged, “Mr. Wade, Marianne is right. I really haven’t done anything truly evil to hurt anyone, and no matter how bad I am, I do not deserve to die. Please spare my godd*mned life! I will give you all the money that you want from me!”At this time, Marianne also suddenly knelt down and lowered her head as she said, “Mr. Wade, money is a material item. As long as you are willing to give my father a chance to repent, we will not hesitate to give you any sum of money that you ask for!”Charlie did not expect that Marianne would kneel as well. So, he hurriedly reached out his hand as he tried to help her up.However, Marianne resisted and said expressionlessly, “Mr. Wade, I will not get up if you refuse to agree to my request. Please kill me too if you really want to take my father’s life.”Charlie looked at the resentful expression in Marianne’s eyes, and he felt his heart throb a little. So, he could not help but sigh as he looked at Sh

Shawn’s whole spirit and will had long been destroyed by Charlie. He could no longer consider his gain or loss now, and his only wish was to be spared from death.Therefore, he was willing to agree to all the conditions that Charlie was about to propose without any hesitation at all.When Charlie saw that Shawn had conceded completely and that he had also achieved his purpose of disciplining him, Charlie said coldly, “Shawn, listen carefully to me. The first thing I want you to do is to pay Uncle Janus twenty years of salary according to the highest salary drawn by professional managers in Hong Kong. After that, you should pay an additional two times the compensation. The first will be used as compensation for Uncle Janus’s loss of youth, and the other will be regarded as emotional compensation for Uncle Janus’s family.”Having said that, Charlie then said again, “That means that you will be paying Uncle Janus sixty years' worth of salary all at once according to the salary of the h

It was already bad enough that he would have to be neighbors with Janus’s family, but he even had to live on Steerlain Island for at least two hundred days in a year. Wasn’t that equivalent to making things difficult for him, then?!At this point, Charlie continued, “In addition, you can transfer your driver to another position. I will transfer a soldier from Ten Thousand Armies to become your bodyguard and driver. He will also help me monitor and keep an eye on your daily itinerary. You will also be fined a hundred million dollars for each day you live lesser on Steerlain Island in a year.”Shawn felt utterly miserable.He really did not expect that Charlie would be so strict that he would press him down without giving him any leeway at all.However, even if he felt depressed, he did not dare to refute Charlie. So, he could only nod resentfully and say, “Don’t worry, Mr. Wade. I will do as you say... I will definitely do it...”Charlie then said again, “Oh, by the way, it will al

Shawn instantly heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing Charlie’s last request.At this time, he truly felt what it meant to survive a catastrophe.Since that was already the last thing that Charlie would be asking him to do, it meant that he had not only managed to keep his life, but he had also managed to preserve his assets worth twenty billion US dollars over the next ten years.The compensation that he needed to pay to Janus was just a drop in the bucket compared to this.As for the villa, it was also just a trivial matter to Shawn.Although he would have to go to Eastcliff to repent for three months, this was regarded as an extrajudicial and lenient treatment for Shawn, who had just received a death threat. Therefore, he naturally did not dare to have any dissatisfaction in his heart.On the contrary, he could finally relax a little.So, he immediately expressed his attitude clearly to Charlie as he said sincerely, “Don’t worry, Mr. Wade, I will leave for Eastcliff immediat

“Okay, I will release a message now to inform everyone that the bounty has been recalled. The thirty million US dollars will be returned to you in the same way within twenty-four hours.”***Meanwhile, many killers were already waiting anxiously outside Hong Kong International Airport. Most of these killers did not know each other, but they were all hiding near the airport at this moment. All of them wanted to get their hands on the bounty of thirty million US dollars, so they could not hold back and were all prepared to immediately attack the moment Janus came out of the airport. Some people had already set up sniper rifles in the dark, others were disguised as tourists as they carried pistols on them and waited outside the airport exit, and some even parked by the side of the road as they planned to drive directly into Janus as soon as he came out. Just as they were gearing up and waiting to get their hands on him, they suddenly received a message, and the content of the mess

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
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6475
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
