At this point, Elaine did not know what was in store for her. Elaine entered the airport, but she did not rush to the security check. Instead, she looked for the first-class lounge according to Clarissa’s instructions.She went in and had only sat there for less than ten minutes before a woman who was dressed very extravagantly walked in with a suitcase and handbag.Elaine recognized at a glance that this woman was her new friend, Clarissa, based on the WhatsApp profile picture and photos in her WhatsApp profile.So, she was a little nervous and excited as she waved at her, smiled, and said, “Hello, Madam Zinn! I’m Elaine! Nice to meet you!” When Clarissa saw Elaine, she could not help but say with some surprise, “Oh, Elaine! We finally meet! You must have been waiting here for a long time. I’m sorry, but I was still hosting a meeting before coming to the airport. You don’t know how many things I have to do all day long. It really makes me frustrated.”Elaine smiled and said, “

Clarissa had also heard Lucy mention Elaine’s situation before coming here. She knew that Elaine lived in a first-class villa in Thompson First in Aurous Hill and drove a Rolls-Royce. Therefore, she was not too surprised.She smiled and said to Elaine, “Don’t you think that a car like a Cullinan is a little too big for a woman like us to drive? I rarely drive when I go out, and I would always let the driver drive the MPV so that I can sit in the middle row. It’s much more comfortable and less worrisome compared to when I drive on my own.”Elaine said enviously, “We don’t have a full-time driver or an MPV at home. Otherwise, I would be able to experience the feeling of being a female boss too.”Clarissa smiled and said, “Isn’t this just a trivial matter? I can give you an MPV if you don’t have one. Do you know the Lexus LM300? I ordered three units from a parallel import car dealer some time ago. I was originally planning to keep one for my parents, but they plan to settle down in th

Meanwhile, Clarissa was pretending to pack her suitcase and handbag when her cell phone rang. When she saw the words ‘Mr. Challe’ displayed on the caller ID, she deliberately pretended as if she could not be bothered to pick up the phone and put it to her ear to answer the call. So, she turned on the speakerphone directly, put her cell phone aside, and spoke up, “Mr. Challe, I’m about to board the plane. If there’s anything, we can talk after I land instead.”The other party’s voice sounded very urgent as he said, “Miss, Madam met with an accident!”Clarissa suddenly tensed up and hurriedly asked, “What happened? What’s wrong with my mom?!”The other party said, “Madam went riding with the little master today. I don’t know what happened, but the horse got scared and kicked Madam. Madam passed out. I just took her to the hospital and the doctor said that her condition is a little serious.”Clarissa said anxiously, “What exactly happened? How did my mother get kicked by a horse?! Wha

Clarissa did not expect that Elaine would offer to go to the hospital with her instead of leaving.However, Clarissa was not going to head to the hospital. She simply wanted to come up with a suitable excuse so that she could tempt Elaine into taking the bait so that she could hurriedly slip away. So, she said to Elaine very seriously, “Elaine, there are many things in this suitcase that Lucy has bought for her parents. There are some tonic products and special medicine that cannot be bought in Oskia. I promised Lucy that I would bring these to Hong Kong for her today. I was supposed to go back to Oskia two days ago, but I was waiting for the arrival of these items. Their business will be delayed if I cannot bring these things to them...”Elaine hurriedly asked, “What are you going to do, then? Aren’t you unable to leave?”Clarissa nodded and hurriedly said, “I can’t leave today, but you can go back first. I’ll go to the hospital to settle my mother first. Her body must have suffe

The man asked again, “How much can we get?”Clarissa thought about it and said, “As long as I succeed in getting Elaine to bring the goods in, I will get five thousand US dollars for my hard work regardless of whether she succeeds or not. If Elaine succeeds in bringing the goods in, I will get almost twenty to thirty thousand US dollars.”“That’s great!” The man smiled and said, “Let’s go to Las Vegas to relax after getting this done. D*mn it, I’ve been having bad luck for the first half of the year, and I basically lost all of my f*cking money to the casino. I have to make sure that the casino gives everything back to me in the second half of the year!” Clarissa said, “You can go to Las Vegas, but don’t focus only on gambling when you get there. There are generally many bad gamblers in that kind of place. You have to find a way to trick a few people to go to Mexico.”Having said that, Clarissa sighed and said, “I heard that Martha is doing pretty well. There’s a person who is suc

The security check process for checked-in luggage at the airport was not the same as the security check process for carry-on luggage.Carry-on luggage was carried through the security check by the guests themselves. In contrast, the checked-in luggage was sent through a conveyor belt to a special place for security check after the check-in and check-in procedures were completed. At this time, Elaine was still unaware of what was going to happen next.After she had checked in both suitcases, she took her boarding pass and swaggered to the security checkpoint. When the woman who was watching her nearby saw her checking in and saw that her suitcases were being sent away on the conveyor belt, she was relieved, stood up immediately, and walked out of the airport. Elaine carried her Hermes bag and leisurely approached the VIP security check channel. After that, she immediately enjoyed the warm service from the staff after showing her first-class boarding pass.While others were stil

Claire felt a little frustrated.Sometimes, she felt as if she and her mother were people from two different worlds, and she could not find the same communication frequency with her at all.Moreover, she also knew that her mother was a very decisive person, and once she had already decided on a certain plan, it was impossible for anyone to change her mind. So, Claire did not say anything else and simply reminded her, “Then you must tell me before the plane takes off after you get on the plane so I can rest assured.”Elaine smiled and said, “Okay, I’ve got it. You don’t have to worry about it. Tell my dear son-in-law to drive safely. I’ll hang up now.”After saying that, Elaine hung up the video call directly. After hanging up the video call, Elaine went to check the post that she had just uploaded on WhatsApp, which then made her angry again. It was just like the last time when she had been on a private jet and no one had liked her post at all.Elaine could not help but curs

“Lexus LM300?” Hannah asked in confusion, “What is the LM300?”Elaine blurted out, “It’s the Lexus MPV! You should know that it’s the most expensive MPV in the world! The domestic price of that MPV is more than three million dollars!”Hannah was dumbfounded. “More than three million dollars just to buy an MPV?! If this money was used to buy the Chevrolet Miniev, it could form a line that is longer than a coal train. Isn’t it a little problematic to spend so much money to buy that car?”“What do you know?” Elaine curled her lips and said contemptuously, “You think like a typical poor man. You cannot figure out why the rich would spend hundreds of millions of dollars to buy a private jet, so you certainly would not be able to understand why they would spend more than three million dollars to buy an MPV. The world of the rich is not about the best, but it’s about the most expensive!”After pausing for a moment, Elaine then said again, “Besides, what does an MPV that is three million d

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
