Charlie smiled faintly as he said, “My main purpose in coming to Hong Kong is to solve Uncle Janus’s matter for him. I will not be calculative as to whether Shawn will ultimately benefit from this or not.”Kathleen smiled and said, “I seem to have made a mistake just now. I think that Shawn should be at the losing end of this deal instead.”Charlie asked curiously, “Why did you change your opinion again?”Kathleen said seriously, “I didn’t take Marianne into account just now. She has already fallen in love with you now, so although Shawn has earned the endorsement of the Fox family, he has lost Marianne. So, ultimately, he is still at the losing end.”Charlie said a little embarrassedly, “You’re making it seem as though I’ve done something for Miss Marianne. I’ve only shown her a little more appreciation on the basis of ordinary friends. Besides that, I haven’t done anything to her, so how could it be considered as if Shawn has lost her to me, then?”Kathleen smiled slightly and s

By the time Charlie had walked to the terrace on the third floor of the villa alone, Shawn and Janus’s family’s convoy had already driven into the villa courtyard one after the other.The reporters flocked in after the convoy. The best lion dance troupe in Hong Kong then performed two life-like lion dances to perfection, and the scene was extraordinarily lively.Although Charlie had never liked lively scenes, he too felt extraordinarily relieved as he witnessed this scene. The thick smoke generated by the explosion of the firecrackers was accompanied by the strong and rich smell of gunpowder. This familiar yet unfamiliar smell suddenly gave Charlie a refreshing feeling.Growing up, he had always liked the smell of gunpowder smoke when the firecrackers burnt out. However, he hadn’t smelled this familiar smell for a long time since there was a ban on fireworks and firecrackers everywhere over the years.Perhaps it was also related to the Oskian people’s love of fireworks and firecr

Just as Charlie was sighing emotionally as he was lost in his thoughts, he suddenly heard a familiar voice next to him asking, “Mr. Wade, what are you thinking about that you seem to be so deep in your thoughts?”Charlie was slightly startled. He turned around and saw that Marianne had already arrived behind him at some point.He was surprised and also a little scared at the same time.He had not expected that he would be so numb and careless to the point that he had not even noticed it when an ordinary person like Marianne had approached him.He came back to his senses immediately, smiled slightly, and said to Marianne, “I was thinking about some things that happened in the past.”Having said that, Charlie asked her, “Miss Marianne, when did you come?” “I just arrived.” Marianne also smiled slightly and then walked over to Charlie’s side as she looked at the lively scene below and asked Charlie, “Were you thinking about your parents just now?”“Yes...” Charlie did not deny it,

Charlie did not refuse when he was faced with Marianne’s kindness and good intentions.Even though he was a billionaire now, he still held regrets for not having completed his higher education.In the past, it was not that he did not want to spend more time reading. It was just that there were many times when he did not have the time to do so. Over the few years when he had first married Claire, he was basically always wearing his apron aside from the time when he was sleeping. There was never anyone to encourage him or spur him on, so he really had not developed the habit of reading over the years. Since Marianne was willing to take on the role to urge and guide him, Charlie naturally agreed readily. Marianne was very happy. So, she said to Charlie, “We have reached a consensus, then. Remember to register an email when you have time. I will help to choose some books for you, and I will send you the electronic version of the books through email. That way, you can read it anytim

However, he was surrounded by countless reporters taking pictures at this time, and he could not see Kathleen anywhere. According to the original plan, Master Yale from Mystery Court was supposed to preside over the housewarming ceremony, but Shawn did not know why Aivan could not be found at the scene at all.To make matters worse, he suddenly discovered that the ritual altar that Aivan had spent a lot of effort to build had also disappeared without a trace.So, Shawn quickly pulled Marley aside and asked in a low voice, “Where is Master Yaleman?! Why is he missing?!”Marley explained in Shawn’s ear, “Mr. Long, something happened to Master Yaleman. It seems that he was bitten by something he had raised, and his injury looked very serious. He was just taken away in an ambulance...”“What?!” Shawn said in horror, “What the hell?! He was taken away in an ambulance?! Who is going to preside over the ceremony today, then?!”Marley hurriedly said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Long. Mr. Wade has a

Kathleen’s smiling remark caused all the reporters on the scene to be stunned.Although everyone had guessed that Kathleen might know Shawn, no one expected that Kathleen would show Shawn so much respect. In her capacity as the chairman of a trillion-dollar enterprise, she would have already made Shawn shine if she were to merely attend as a guest of honor. Unexpectedly, Shawn had actually invited Kathleen here to host the housewarming ceremony, and to everyone, Kathleen was showing Shawn great respect by agreeing to do so.After all, Shawn’s assets were only one percent of the Fox family’s assets. When Shawn saw the media reporters’ shocked expressions, he only felt an unprecedented sense of relief in his heart. Everyone loved being respected and admired. Shawn only felt that he had never been admired so greatly in his life.When Kathleen came forward, the media reporters who were originally planning to watch Shawn end up as a laughingstock also placed their usual gossiping a

There were also two VIP seats reserved for Charlie and Kathleen at the scene.After Charlie had been seated, Shawn stood up with a glass of wine and said to Charlie with immense gratitude, “Mr. Wade, I owe everything today to you. My gratitude toward you can no longer be described in words. I will offer a toast to you first to express my gratitude to you!” After saying that, Shawn drank all of the wine in his wine glass in one gulp without waiting for Charlie to speak.Charlie smiled slightly and asked him, “Mr. Long, are you satisfied with today’s affairs?”“Yes! Most definitely!” Shawn nodded repeatedly and said excitedly, “Mr. Wade, I’m really a hundred... no, a thousand or ten thousand times satisfied with the arrangement today! Oh, no! I’m not satisfied, but I’m grateful. I’m truly grateful, Mr. Wade!”Charlie nodded and said indifferently, “It’s best if you’re satisfied. Everything is considered settled today for this matter, then!”Shawn hurriedly said, “Yes, yes, everyth

In this world, the person who understood Janus’s ability best was Shawn. If it was not for Jenna, Shawn would definitely have done everything that he possibly could to keep Janus by his side and make him his right-hand man. It was a pity that even a hero would tend to lose his ambition, make mistakes, or fail in his career because of his love for a beauty. Back then, neither of the two had taken a step back, and they had finally become enemies for twenty years. Now that Shawn had let go of his past grudge against Janus, from his perspective as Janus’s old friend, he also hoped that Janus could rediscover his true value once more. He also felt that he was not good enough for Janus anymore, and Janus’s value could only be maximized if he stayed by Charlie’s side. He could also see that Charlie must have seen Janus’s value, and that was why he had devoted so much energy to Janus at all costs. Therefore, at this moment, he was not only affirming Janus’s strength on one hand but

Trippy rolled his eyes as he texted back: [Hell no. I need to start my business instead of wasting my time. You morons can come get a number yourself if you like. Haha!]Still, Trippy had just sent his text when a trio arrived in a hurry outside Treasure Measure.Seeing that the doors were closed, the leader asked Trippy, "Excuse me, can I ask if this is Treasure Measure? Owned by a man named Mr. Cole?"Trippy was at once surprised. "You mean Raymond Cole?"The leader quickly said, "We don't know his first name, only that his last name is Cole, and his handle name was Treasure Measure's Mr. Cole."Trippy chuckled. "That'd be him. Has to be, since he hand wrote that shop sign."Pausing, he then asked in curiosity, "So, you've come to see him being a sucker?"The leader was naturally curious as to what Trippy was talking about. However, he was also reluctant to reveal why he had come since there was a killer bargain at stake. In fact, every other collector who was coming was k

Raymond also added that the 20 million price tag wouldn't be cut or increased. To put it simply, the bronze sculpture was right there in Aurous Hill and waiting—it was a race.Hence, many reputable collectors contacted expert appraisers throughout the night, some even booking night flights straight to Aurous Hill.The best amongst them was a fanatic collector of bronze items in Eastcliff.Following a brief exchange with Raymond online, he immediately called an expert who was also a close friend. As soon as his call was answered, he asked the other man if he had time to travel to Aurous Hill so that no one else would beat them to it—and they would drive out in the night if at all possible.After all, the earliest flight was at six in the morning, and it'd be eight by the time they made it to Aurous Hill Airport and nine by the time they got to Antique Street in a cab.Therefore, the ideal way to get there was by driving over six hundred miles at top speed, and that meant reaching A

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!
