Donald blurted out in dismay, “Of course I know the sedative doesn’t work, I can see it with my own eyes! I’m asking you, what should we do now?”The doctor paused for a while and suggested, “I’ll increase the dosage a little bit more. We have to get him to calm down first no matter what.”Donald nodded and urged him, “What are you waiting for?! Go ahead!”“Mr. Webb, excessive use of sedatives can cause damage to the body, so…”“He is already damaging his own body! The most important thing right now is to calm him down as soon as possible!”“Okay!” The doctor nodded. He quickly prepared a larger dosage and injected it into Kian’s body, but it didn’t seem to work either.“That’s so weird…” The doctor stuttered, “The effect of this sedative is very strong! It is used on savage elephants, but he is still so irritable. This is so strange…”Suddenly, the cardiologist said, “Oh no, his body is shaking! I think his heart rate must be very high!”He retrieved a portable ECG monitor, co
Tonight was destined to be extraordinary and lively.On one side, Kian had everyone’s jaws dropping with his abnormal behavior. On the other side of the city, Kenneth was with Jeffrey, and they hurriedly returned to the Weaver family house with three stalks of century-old purple ginseng.Kenneth was disappointed that he had failed to win the three-hundred-year-old purple ginseng at the auction. He huffed that the century-old purple ginseng was not as good as the three-hundred-year-old ginseng, but thanks to Charlie, he didn’t have to spend 90 million on that…Kenneth bought the three ginsengs from Jeffrey’s friend for 3 million dollars, whereas Charlie had spent 100 million on the three-hundred-year-old purple ginseng.He felt a lot more at ease when he thought about all the money he saved. At this moment, all he hoped for was that the Weaver family’s improved prescription would cure his penile dysfunction.Because of the importance of this medicine to the Weaver family, the entir
Kenneth was a little moved by the scene Jordan portrayed. “Is it that magical?”Jordan replied earnestly, “Of course. Mr. Wilson, the magical medicine of our Weaver family is three to four times as effective as Viagra, and the improved formula is even up to ten times more effective!”Kenneth was extremely thrilled by the possible miraculous effect of the medicine. It seemed that his disorder would be completely cured in no time!Jeffrey asked curiously, “Dad, if we mass-produce the medicine, we can sell it globally and even suppress the sales of Viagra, can’t we?”Jordan waved his hand confidently and said, “Of course! Once the mass-production is up and running, men all over the world will be using my magic drug instead of the so-called Viagra. There will only be one male magic drug on the market, and that is my magic drug!”Then, Jordan turned to Kenneth and said, “Mr. Wilson, I wonder if you are interested in investing in our pharmaceutical company. You only need to invest two o
Kenneth held the bowl of dark purple medicinal soup as if he was holding a fragile treasure, bringing the bowl to his mouth and finally drinking it!Everyone, especially Wendy, was watching him intensely.Frankly, Wendy hoped to be with Kenneth more than Jeffrey. Modestway Group, Kenneth’s company, was larger in scale, and Kenneth was more generous toward her. She had received five million dollars of pocket money from him before.On the other hand, she didn’t get any benefits from the stingy Jeffrey.If Kenneth regained his manhood, maybe he would ask her back from Jeffrey!The Weaver family members were watching Kenneth closely as well.Kenneth could be regarded as the first real clinical trial of this new drug.They were eager to see the effectiveness of the drug. If it worked wonderfully, they would be rich!After drinking the medicine, Kenneth felt a strong heat flow between his kidneys, and it was getting hotter and hotter!He felt as though there was a dragon slowly awak
Jordan hurriedly answered, “I guess it needs some time for it to take effect. First, it needs to repair the damaged part before it can help restore your manhood. Don’t worry, I bet it will stand high and tall after half an hour to an hour!”Kenneth grinned in delight. “Is that so? If so, time is running out. I need to go now, excuse me.”Then, he dragged Wendy and quickly left the Weaver family’s house.On the way home, Kenneth was getting a little agitated and excited. As he drove, he said restlessly, “I feel that the heat is getting stronger and stronger, but why do I feel that it hasn’t quite reached that area yet…”Wendy quickly said, “Didn’t Mr. Weaver say that the medicine needs to take some time to do the repair before it can work its way to that area!”“Hahaha!” Kenneth said excitedly, “It’s just like those games that you young people play! The enemy has five seconds to reach the battlefield!”Wendy smiled coyly. “Kenneth, how long will it take you to reach the battlefiel
Inside the bedroom.Kenneth was lying on the bed, anxiously waiting for the effect of the medicine to arrive on the battlefield.Meanwhile, Wendy put on a bathrobe and went into the bathroom.For some reason, Kenneth felt something peculiar going on inside his body. His lower abdomen had been feeling feverish ever since he had been at the Weaver family’s house, but there had been no change in his manhood.In fact, he started to feel a vague itch and ache.“It must mean that the drug is working now!” Kenneth comforted himself.Wendy came out from the bathroom and lay in Kenneth’s arms like a wild cat. She asked softly while playing with his chest hair, “Kenneth, how are you feeling now? Do you feel something?”Kenneth shook his head and said, frowning, “Not yet, but it should be soon.”Wendy was eager to get on Kenneth’s good side and reap more benefits from him, so, she winked coquettishly and started to unbutton Kenneth’s pants.There was a dash of eagerness and excitement in
In the middle of the night, Christopher was behind the wheels with Kenneth and his two bodyguards and rushed to the Silverwing Hospital.Kenneth didn’t even wait in the queue, instead, he barged into one of the emergency rooms with his bodyguards.When he saw a male doctor sitting in front of the computer, he unbuckled his belt and took off his pants.The male doctor was extremely shocked.“Hey, what are you doing? Are you crazy?!”The doctor shrieked in horror, “Put your pants back on or I’ll call the security!”No one could stand such a bizarre scene in the middle of the night.Kenneth hurriedly explained with a miserable grimace, “Doctor, you have misunderstood. I’m not crazy. Something horrible has happened to my body! Hurry up and take a look! Help me, otherwise, it will rot!”The fester had become more serious at this moment. The doctor glanced at his penis and took in a breath of cold air. He slowly muttered, “Um... your penis is completely necrotic now…”“Completely
Kenneth left the Silverwing Hospital furiously and rushed toward the Weaver family house with his two bodyguards.When he arrived at their door, a servant hurriedly greeted him and asked, “Mr. Wilson, why are you here at this hour…”Kenneth glared at him with dark eyes. He slapped the servant and roared, “Get the hell out of my way!”At this moment, he was like a walking volcano with all the fury and humiliation boiling inside him that might erupt at any time!With his two brawny bodyguards, Kenneth barged into the Weaver family house and shouted viciously, “Jordan Weaver, come out right now! I’ll f*cking kill you if you keep me waiting!”Kenneth’s thunderous roar shook the entire Weaver family as if an earthquake had swept through the house.Jordan didn’t even manage to tidy up his robe as he rushed out of his room with the help of Jeffrey. His eyes flew wide open in shock when he saw the enraged Kenneth standing in the middle of the living room, and he asked, “Mr. Wilson, what
There were those in Antique Street who made their living from swindling the average Joe while others swindled antique traders.In fact, it was already cliche for them to trick antique traders with forgeries, and it was not surprising that someone had tried their luck on the opening day of Raymond's shop.As such, it was strange that he had just started today without any hype or even a proper shop sign, but someone was already after him.That told him that he was being targeted, and Raymond was putting his money on Zachary.The sole reason for that was how Zachary had come earlier to ask Raymond about how much capital he had, and he had humbly said a few hundred thousand.The fact that Billy had come and immediately demanded 500 thousand made even more sense—he wanted to siphon all of Raymond's capital.Even losing money wasn't the worst part—the worst was being labeled as an amateur.When that happened, customers who wanted the good stuff wouldn't come to him, and he would find
Just as Jacob was celebrating fooling Raymond, getting his revenge, and earning 200 thousand on top of that, Charlie was left musing to himself on the second floor of the teahouse.He knew that Billy was a conman as soon as he saw him, but he didn't understand why Raymond would buy from Billy.Could the item really be medieval as Raymond stated?As soon as the thought occurred to him, Charlie was sure of it. Given Raymond's knowledge of antiques, there was no way he would mess up in Antique Street of Aurous Hill.While his father-in-law and Zachary had worked hard to weave this elaborate conspiracy, Charlie still wondered how they would take the news that Raymond had bought something worth millions for just 300 thousand.Meanwhile, Raymond watched as Billy left and locked the door from the inside before studying the bronze sculpture once more.He trusted his own judgment that it was a gilded bronze statue from the medieval era. He was playing down its importance since the bronze
Meanwhile, Raymond sighed unhappily. "I really can't afford four hundred grand—like I said, there's not much to offer here in my shop, which I've been investing a lot in. I'd have to pay rent to the owner soon as well, and everything would end terribly for me if I paid that much…"Billy blurted right then, "You said it's medieval and worth millions, didn't you? You'd make a fortune if you sold it!"Raymond sighed again. "Million-dollar antiques aren't that easily sold, and people would be especially skeptical with a small business like mine. I could sell it at an auction too, but that's only happening when someone decides to organize one, not to mention the troublesome appraisal processes it involves.""And right now, I just think it's medieval in terms of style, but I'm no authority in the matter. In the end, it's up to experts and specific groups that would verify it, and if I messed up, it's entirely my loss.""Even if I'm lucky and it's medieval, I'd still have to wait until th
"Invest?!"Billy was left dumbstruck at the term.What even was this fool up to? This definitely wasn't in the script! What about the questions he was supposed to ask? It was like sitting for a grade-schooler test and suddenly being hit with a bar exam!In the car, Jacob blurted out, "What the hell is that bastard thinking? Is he really going to pay 250 thousand?!"Zachary pursed his lips. "Maybe he's just throwing us bait. Think about it—if we took the deal, we'd have to leave a contact number.""After that, he would trick us and say he sold it for ten million and lure us in for the five million. We'd definitely show up, wouldn't we? Once we came, it might turn out that he has called the cops and would even produce\ the bronze sculpture as evidence. Wouldn't we be just shooting ourselves in the foot?"Jacob was left in misery, his face contorting as he pouted, "But you said the cops wouldn't get involved…"Zachary rolled his eyes, "Yes, they wouldn't most of the time since that
However, neither Zachary nor Jacob expected Raymond to confuse them further as he asked Billy, "If you can afford to wait, you can leave the bronze sculpture with me as a consignment. I'll only take 10% off the sales while you get the rest—how about that?"Jacob was stunned and asked Zachary, "What the hell is he up to? Did he get too deep into character?"Zachary shook his head. "I don't get it either… is he trying to keep the bronze sculpture to use as evidence against us?"Jacob frowned. "I thought you said there was a gentleman agreement in this business, and the cops won't really care anyway?"Zachary snorted. "He said he would keep it as a consignment, meaning that he won't spend a dime. What if he told all the antique dealers instead of going to the cops? He would prove that he's sharp, making a name for himself… and what can we do? Do we take back the bronze sculpture? Even if we do, can we really ask for it?'"Fuck!" Jacob swore. "Then what are we waiting for? Tell Billy
In Treasure Measure, even Billy was having a hard time understanding what was going on.Before he came, Zachary made it very clear that he was here to dupe Raymond Cole, and he had come.As such, his job was now to claim that this bronze sculpture which was made in the last century was actually from the Renaissance era and then sell it to Raymond at a cutthroat price.But now, Raymond himself was saying that it was medieval? What was that supposed to mean?Even as he was left confused, he blurted out, "Sir, if you say it's from medieval times… then how much is it worth?"Raymond thought about it and said, "It's quite an unpopular item, but it's not to say that no one would buy it or that no one likes it. The main issue is that there were plenty of wars at that time, and most bronze would be used for weapons. Copper production would be low with rationing as well, so bronze tools were naturally rare for civilians.""Gilding is common for better quality items, and from the northern
Zachary couldn't help pointing at the screen and snapping, "Fucking loser! The more you feel pressed, the less you should be nervous! What are you thinking?! You're falling right under that bastard's trap!"Jacob was frustrated too, growling through his teeth, "Shit! I didn't think that bastard was a sly old fox. Fucking hell!"He then sighed, shaking his head. "Forget it, Zachary—I'm going home to pack my shit, and I'll depart for Dubai first thing tomorrow. Just handle that bronze sculpture for me and wire the money over."As he was about to get off, Zachary sighed in exasperation and apologetically said, "Sorry, Mr. Wilson… but it's fine! Even if this plan screwed up, just let me cook up another plan to destroy Raymond Cole!"Jacob ignored him as he strode out of the car, but that was when Raymond spoke audibly from Zachary's phone, "You can calm down. I'm not accusing you of lying to me. I just think that it's not Renaissance… Rather, it's medieval.""E-Early medieval…?" Billy
In Treasure Measure, Raymond unwrapped the red cloth around the bronze sculpture in front of Billy and the camera.There was a brief flash of surprise on his face, and it was soon gone.Still, he picked up the bronze sculpture, fiddling with it as he asked, "Do you know where it's from?""Yeah," Billy nodded. "A Renaissance-era sculpture. I think the base makes it obvious."Raymond looked up at him and asked in curiosity, "Are you sure about that?"Billy, presuming that Raymond had already noticed a catch, quickly said, "Well, the old man had an expert check it, and the expert said it was immediately obvious! To be honest, I want to sell it because the old man just passed away—gotta sell this baby before my brother goes for a garage sale."He had certainly added more details to the script, and Raymond nodded as he said nonchalantly, "But it doesn't look Renaissance to me. Sculptures from that era—be it the craftsmanship or the unique attributes? It's quite different from this one
In the antique trade, items that raised eyebrows would only be shown in the evenings—when various shops were about to close.That was certainly the case in Antique Street, as most items arriving in the evening were either freshly excavated, stolen, or forgery used to dupe unsuspecting victims.Even if Raymond had started his career abroad, he had learned every last unspoken rule during his earlier stint in Aurous Hill.Seeing the wariness on Billy's face and the way he was holding something in his arms, Raymond knew right away that what he carried wasn't legal.Still, the antique trade was no different here than it was abroad.Tomb raiding, forgery, or adding some touch-ups that increased the value of an item—everyone across the globe pretty much played the same tricks, and Raymond had his fair share of experience.Still, he did not let his wariness show, instead grinning, "Yes, of course. Come on in—let's talk inside!"And with that, he quickly led Billy inside.Meanwhile, bot
