As Elaine spoke, she said very solemnly, “You two cannot let me go back on my word when it comes to this kind of matter!”Claire looked at Charlie and asked, “Honey, what do you think?”Charlie smiled faintly and said, “Since Mom has already made an agreement with others, it would really be inappropriate for us not to go.”Elaine hurriedly nodded and blurted out, “My dear son-in-law is indeed the best at the most critical moment!”After that, she quickly seized the opportunity and said, “This matter is settled, then. We will go there together at six o’clock in the evening tomorrow. Claire, you can attend your class as usual tomorrow, and my dear son-in-law can come and buy some gifts with me. It’s our first time visiting someone’s house, so it’d not be good for us to go empty-handed.”When Claire saw that Charlie had agreed, she could not say anything else. So, she nodded and said, “Okay, then.”***The following afternoon, Elaine brought Charlie with her as they drove to downto

Lucy warmly invited Charlie’s family into the house. At this time, the living room was already filled with the aroma of food. The interior decoration of this villa was very elegant. At first glance, a lot of effort had been put into it, and it could even be compared to the first-class villa in Thompson First. There were many photos of adults and children hanging on the walls of the home, and each of the photos was very heartwarming. After looking around, Elaine gained a new understanding of Lucy’s strength, and she hurriedly introduced Lucy to Claire and Charlie as she smiled and said, “This is Lucy, the vice-captain of our Rampage Team that I always tell you about! You two should call her Aunt Lucy!”Having said that, Elaine then said to Lucy, “Lucy, this is my daughter, Claire, and the one next to her is my son-in-law, Charlie.” Claire said politely to Lucy, “Hello, Aunt Lucy. I’m sorry to bother you!” Lucy smiled and said, “What are you saying?! Although your mother and I

Elaine sighed emotionally and said, “It’s really frustrating to always be moving like this all the time.”Lucy said casually, “It doesn’t matter if we move. Over the past few years, we have been buying a house wherever we move to. This house that we’re living in now is a new house that we just bought last year.”Elaine was amazed at Lucy’s family’s financial resources. It seemed as though buying a house was just a game to her, and she could buy one at will.So, Elaine could not help but ask, “Lucy, the price of houses in New York is not cheap, right?”Lucy smiled and said, “Actually, it’s still okay. In a place where every inch of land is valuable, houses with high prices also have their own value. Buying a house in such a place is not a consumption but an investment.”Elaine could not help but ask, “How much does it cost to buy an apartment in New York?” Lucy thought about it for a while and said casually, “You’d have to prepare ten to twenty million US dollars to buy a large a

When Lucy heard that the meal was ready, she immediately extended a warm invitation to Charlie’s family of three to go to the dining room.At this time, there was a man in his sixties who was busy setting the plates in the dining room. After Lucy’s introduction, it was revealed that this man was her husband, Jalen Marten.The young man who had invited them to the dining table earlier was Lucy’s son, Kyler Marten. Jalen was very enthusiastic. After inviting the family of three to sit down at the dining table, he smiled and asked Charlie, “What kind of wine do you like to drink, Charlie? I have red wine and Moutai here.” Charlie said politely, “I’m sorry, Uncle Jalen. I have to drive, so I won’t drink.”Jalen was not angry when he heard this. Instead, he smiled and said, “It’s okay. Don’t drink if you’re driving.” After saying that, he looked at his son, Kyler, and said, “Kyler, if you have nothing else to do tonight, why don’t we both have a drink?”Kyler smiled and nodded. “L

Jalen and his son, Kyler, had already begun exchanging toasts at this time. Both of them seemed to love to drink. The father raised his glass to have a drink with his son. After the two had put their glasses down after drinking, the son then raised his glass again to have a drink with his father.Kyler’s wife, who was aside, did not seem to mind it. She simply played with her cell phone and ate by herself, and she rarely spoke the entire time.However, what made Charlie uncomfortable was that although Kyler was drinking, his eyes were always secretly looking for opportunities to glance at his wife, Claire. Moreover, there was a lustful look in his eyes, and it was obvious at first glance that he had ill intentions.Charlie could not help but give Kyler a warning look before Kyler finally restrained himself a little. The strange thing was that Kyler’s wife would occasionally look up to take some food, and she could also see her husband stealthily glancing at Claire from time to

After sending Elaine’s family off, Lucy’s family of four, which was originally warm and inviting, suddenly became somewhat silent. Lucy’s expression was a little grim, whereas the other three felt as if they could finally rest and relax now that the performance was finally over. Lucy’s expression was grim as she returned to the room. She sat down on the sofa directly and raised her eyes to look at Jalen and Kyler. After that, she raised her hand and smashed a glass at their feet. Both of them were so frightened that they jumped back in place in fear. Immediately afterward, Lucy then cursed, “You two b*stards! You only f*cking know how to drink and drink! You lose your mind as soon as you see liquor, and it seems as if both of you lost your souls when you smell the fragrance of liquor! Don’t you know that business matters are the most important?! If you still cannot get rid of this f*cking problem, you can just go back to where you f*cking came from, then!” As she said that, she

Kyler asked again, “Aunt Martha, if Elaine succeeds in bringing the goods to Hong Kong, should we arrange for someone to kidnap her after that? After all, her family is quite rich, so we cannot simply let her go in vain!”Lucy sneered and said, “Of course. We’ll let her help us bring the goods there, but we will only be getting one million US dollars if we succeed. If we kidnap her, we may be able to get a few million US dollars out of them! But we will have to wait until she arrives successfully in Hong Kong before we carry out this plan. Otherwise, it will be useless if she already gets caught in New York.”After that, Lucy stood up and said, “I’m going to the Rampage Team now. There is an old man over there who came to the United States to visit his relatives. He has been flirting with me recently, and he will be going back in a couple of days. I feel like I can win him over if I work hard. You guys should prepare yourself and head to the Oskian area in Seattle to see if there is

Kyler nodded hastily upon hearing Lucy’s order. He then took out his cell phone, found a contact named ‘Customer 15’, and then called the other party. A weak voice came from the other end of the line and asked, “Hello. Have you found a suitable match for me?”Kyler snorted and said lightly, “The match has already been found. The other party is a middle-aged man of about forty years old. He is strong, fit, and young. You can be guaranteed to have no problems for twenty to thirty years after the successful transplant. If you want the transplant as soon as possible, you can head to Mexico for the surgery next week for eight hundred thousand US dollars.”As soon as the other party heard this, he immediately said, “Didn’t we agree on five hundred thousand US dollars?!” Kyler said disdainfully, “Five hundred thousand US dollars is the carpooling price, and this is the exclusive price. If you’re not in a hurry, you can wait for the carpooling price, but I estimate that you will have to

The other antique traders who were keeping tabs on the situation were left confused by Trippy's message.[Maybe even those out-of-towners know that Raymond is a sucker? So they traveled overnight just to see what happens?][I know Raymond is in trouble, but is it really worth traveling hundreds of miles just to watch?][Maybe they know he's a sucker, so they came to sell him more counterfeits?][Shit, that must be it! Suckers are rare these days, after all!][Damn straight! Just knowing that there's one in Aurous Hill, you'd be eager to come over.]Even Mick Crane who had just woken up and saw the message immediately sent a voice message: "Those conmen are just like flies flocking around shit as soon as they smell it.""Oh, but what they don't know is that Raymond has no more money! I heard he only had a few hundred thousand for the startup, and the bronze sculpture must have cost most of it. I'm afraid those people won't even get their gas money and toll costs back after travel

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
