Five o’clock in the evening.Shawn’s Rolls-Royce convoy brought him and Janus to the hotel where Charlie and Kathleen were staying on time.When Shawn saw Charlie, he said respectfully, “Mr. Wade, the convoy is ready and can set off at any time.”Charlie nodded lightly. When he saw that Marianne was not there, he asked casually, “Is Miss Marianne here?” Shawn hurriedly explained, “Mr. Wade, I already called Marianne. She said that she happened to have to make a trip to the airport, so she went over there by herself.”Charlie said, “Okay, we can leave as well, then.”Half an hour later, Charlie and Kathleen followed Shawn’s convoy to the Hong Kong International Airport.The convoy stopped in front of the VIP building. After Shawn got out of the car at the front, he trotted all the way to the car that Charlie was in. Upon opening the door, he said respectfully, “Mr. Wade, you and Miss Fox will have to go through the security and customs check first. The convoy will also have to g

Charlie nodded. When he saw that there was still no sign of Marianne among the people standing outside the car, he subconsciously felt a little disappointed. However, he did not ask Shawn about it again and spoke up, “Mr. Long, it’s getting late. Let’s get in the car and go.”Shawn looked at the time and hurriedly said, “Mr. Wade, I don’t know what’s going on with Marianne. I cannot reach her on her cell phone. Wait for a moment, and I will try calling her again.” After saying that, Shawn took out his cell phone and was about to call Marianne again when he heard Marianne’s voice sounding from not far away. “Dad!” Charlie subconsciously turned his head. The moment he saw Marianne, the uncontrollable disappointment in his heart instantly disappeared.Charlie would definitely feel some regret if he did not get to see Marianne again before leaving Hong Kong today.Shawn also had a happy expression on his face. He reached out his hand, beckoned to Marianne, and could not help but c

Marianne said shyly, “Miss Fox, I can go in any car...”Kathleen smiled and said, “Since any car will do for you, just take this one, then. I’ll go in the same car as Master Yant!”Having said that, Kathleen turned around, waved her hand behind her, and got into the Rolls-Royce at the back of the convoy. When Charlie saw this, he held the car door open with one hand and said to Marianne, “Miss Marianne, please get in the car.”Marianne nodded slightly, greeted her father, Shawn, bent down, and got into the car.Charlie also got into the car. When he saw that Marianne was still out of breath at this time, he guessed that she must be very tired from running all the way and said, “Why didn’t you give me a call to update me since your friend’s plane was delayed? Why did you have to run and be in such a hurry?”Marianne shook her head and said, “How could I possibly let so many people wait for me together? She was not delayed for too long, so I was able to catch up and make it on tim

After ten minutes of driving, the convoy arrived at the hangar where Kathleen’s plane was parked.Charlie had originally thought that Kathleen’s plane would be a luxurious business jet like a Gulfstream G650. However, he never expected it to be a huge Boeing 747 that was currently parked in the hangar.This plane was a symbol of wealth and power, just like the United States President’s Air Force One. The crew had completed all the pre-takeoff checks and inspections, and more than ten people, including the captain and the chief steward, were waiting as they stood together at the bottom of the plane’s spiral staircase. The convoy stopped one after the other, and everyone got out of the cars. Charlie glanced at Marianne, who was next to him. When he saw that she was pursing her lips without speaking, he spoke up and said, “Miss Marianne, let’s get out of the car.” Marianne raised her head and looked at Charlie with a shy look in her eyes as she said softly, “Mr. Wade, I wonder whe

By this point, Marianne was already almost out of sight, but Charlie found that she was still standing in the same place even though everyone else had gotten on the plane.Charlie turned back and looked for a long time before turning his head back. Somehow, he always had a feeling of empathy for Marianne. He knew that this beautiful girl who was envied by countless people in Hong Kong had actually lost all color in her life ever since the day her father had cheated on her mother. Since then, in addition to facing her mother’s tears and grief every day, she had also had to accept the reality that her mother was seriously ill and her health was deteriorating.After her mother’s death, although her father had given her a lot of material compensation, this compensation was basically a drop in the bucket compared to the blow caused by her mother’s death.Therefore, Charlie knew that Marianne had not been happy all these years and was even living in nostalgia for her mother. This

Charlie did not expect Kathleen to be willing to use Patek Phillipe and Rolex, which were two well-known watch companies, in exchange for a Healing Pill from him. Still, when Charlie thought about it carefully, her grandfather, Jordan, was a top wealthy man, and using twenty billion US dollars in exchange for three to five years of life was still a very good deal.After all, the Rejuvenating Pill could be sold for more than three hundred billion US dollars. One would also be able to sell the Healing Pill for one-tenth the price of the Rejuvenating Pill.In truth, Charlie knew very well that although Kathleen was saying these words jokingly, this was, in fact, what she really wanted.However, if she spoke in such a joking tone, she would leave enough mediation room for herself, and she would be able to either go forward or retreat.If he expressed that he would not be willing to sell the Healing Pill, she would definitely say that she was just joking so that she could brush off th

With that being said, Kathleen paused slightly and continued, “I originally did not intend to use this plane, but when my grandfather heard that I was coming to Hong Kong to see you, he transferred the plane over to New York directly.”Charlie nodded lightly and smiled as he asked, “How is Lord Fox doing lately?” “Not bad.” Kathleen said truthfully, “There have been no serious health problems with his body during this short period of time, and he is also in a good mood. He is definitely in much better shape compared to before. Lately, he has also been talking about how he is eager to go and learn Tai Chi with others, saying that he wants to strengthen his body and try to live for an extra two more years.”Charlie smiled and said, “It seems that Lord Fox is in good shape.”“Yes.” Kathleen nodded and said, “He is indeed in much better shape compared to before, and this is all thanks to your help, Mr. Wade.” Having said that, Kathleen said again, “Oh! By the way, my grandfather is

Charlie was holding a Healing Pill in his palm at this time.The Healing Pill was about one centimeter in diameter, and he did not bother to put it in a wooden box because it was not as precious as the Rejuvenating Pill. Instead, he simply sealed it with wax paper specially used to seal food. When Kathleen heard that Charlie was going to give her a gift and was acting like a child as he deliberately clenched one of his fists with his palm down as if it was a mysterious gift, she thought that Charlie was joking with her. So, she smiled and said, “What kind of small gift did you prepare for me, Mr. Wade? Could it be a small bug? Let me state in advance that I’m not afraid of bugs.”During childhood, little boys had always loved to tease little girls. The most common one was for them to grab a bug in the palm of their hand and pretend to have a gift for the girl so that they would reach out and pick it up.Kathleen also felt playful at this time. As she spoke, she also reached out he

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!
