“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

She looked at the police officer with a surprised expression and asked, “Yes, that’s me. What’s wrong?”The police officer continued to ask, “Let me check your personal information with you. You are Elaine Parker from Aurous Hill, Oskia. You’re taking the Cathay Pacific flight CX845 from New York to Hong Kong this time, right?”“That’s right...” Elaine was even more puzzled and asked in disbelief, “Is there any problem with my flight?” The female police officer said coldly, “There is no problem with your flight, but there is a problem with your suitcase! Please come with us to assist us with the investigation.”Elaine hurriedly said, “What could possibly be wrong with my suitcase? Aside from some personal clothing and some local products from New York, I didn’t put anything else like lithium batteries in it...”The female police officer snorted coldly, “There is no need for any unnecessary sophistry. There are other passengers here, so please take the initiative to come with me s

The Caucasian police officer could not understand the Oskian dialect, but he could still understand the English that was mixed in Elaine’s words.He did not expect Elaine to actually say that she was his mother, and he immediately became furious. He then deliberately increased the strength in his knees and pressed down even harder on Elaine.Elaine only felt a sharp pain in her body, and she could hardly breathe because of the pressure. After that, she heard a click, and she instantly felt a sharper pain. The police officer had broken her rib!At this moment, Elaine broke out in cold sweat from the pain as she cried and shouted, “My rib is broken! My rib is broken! Help! I’m dying from the pain...”Having said that, she looked at the female police officer and blurted out, “Hurry up and stop him! Otherwise, he will crush me to death! Is this how you treat first-class passengers?!”The female police officer said coldly, “This is the first time I’ve met a drug dealer like you. Do you

Elaine hurriedly said, “I did not even ask for a single penny! I was just helping a friend out...”Elaine actually felt very guilty when she said this.This was because she knew very well in her heart that the reason why she had agreed to help Clarissa with the suitcase was simply because Clarissa had said that she would give her a Lexus LM300 and would also take her around Hong Kong for a few days. However, Elaine felt that all these things were simply verbal promises. After all, she had not received a penny from the woman, so the police couldn't possibly find any evidence.The female police officer then glanced at Elaine with a slightly compassionate look. After that, she then took Elaine to their police station which was next to the airport terminal together with her colleagues.Elaine cried and wailed all the way because of her broken rib as she hoped to be able to receive treatment first, but the female police officer said, “It’s just a broken rib, so there’s no need for you

When the female police officer saw that Elaine wanted to contact her family, she nodded. “Okay, you have the right to contact your family and have your family arrange a criminal lawyer for you.”After that, she took out Elaine’s cell phone, handed it to Elaine, and said, “Remember, you can only call your family or your lawyer. If you call your accomplice to inform them about this matter, it will only make you guiltier!”Elaine cried and said, “Don’t you understand what I just said?! I already told you that I was wronged and I’m being set up by others. Where am I going to find any accomplices?!”The female police officer said indifferently, “It’s not up to you nor is it up to me to have the final say on whether you were wronged or not, or whether you were being set up or not. When the trial begins, everything will be subjected to the judge’s verdict.”Elaine glanced at the female police officer angrily and then immediately picked up her cell phone and called Claire. When Claire an

Charlie spoke up and said, “Mom, you don’t need to worry, and you don’t have to be afraid. We will certainly be able to successfully resolve this matter. It might be a little troublesome, but you will have to suffer a little grievance during this period of time.”Elaine cried and asked, “You have to save me, my dear son-in-law! I’m so scared! If this matter does not go well, I’ll be imprisoned for life... I’m someone who has been in a detention center before, and it’s too scary there...”Charlie said seriously, “Don’t worry, Mom. I promise that you will not be sentenced to life imprisonment. This matter will be resolved before Claire graduates, and you will definitely be able to return to Oskia with us then.”Elaine hurriedly asked, “My dear son-in-law, do you mean what you’ve just said? It’s just over half a month before Claire graduates and you return to Oskia...”Charlie hummed and said, “Don’t worry, I will definitely keep my word!”When Elaine heard Charlie’s firm and determi

For Charlie, it was not difficult to solve this matter, but it was by no means easy for him to resolve this matter satisfactorily. The crime that Elaine was now suspected of was a felony among felonies in any country or region in this world.Moreover, because the amount of contraband that she was carrying was so large, this was a death sentence in many countries. If he could catch all the people behind this crime, Elaine could then be truly and legitimately cleared of all suspicion. Otherwise, he could only use special means to get her out of prison.But in that case, Elaine would have an international criminal record, and that would be a real problem in the future. In order to deal with a gang of criminals who specialized in harming their compatriots, some extraordinary means would have to be used. If Claire were to follow Charlie, his hands would not only be tied, but he would also have to devote extra energy to take care of her and protect her. So, for Charlie, the best so

Charlie said politely, “Lord Fox, I’ve encountered a problem that I need your help with.”Jordan hurriedly said, “Mr. Wade, please speak up! I will definitely do anything as long as I’m able to do it!”Charlie said briefly, “My mother-in-law was used by a group of people. She was caught carrying contraband unknowingly at customs at JFK New York Airport, and she has been arrested by the police over there. I need you to help me find the best criminal lawyer in New York and have him rush over there within an hour to find out what’s going on.”When Jordan heard this, he was stunned. He really could not imagine who it was that would provoke Charlie without any fear of death.However, he quickly regained his senses and said very seriously, “Don’t worry, Mr. Wade. I’ll have the best law firm send their best criminal lawyer over there!” Charlie had a somewhat grim expression as he said, “There is one more thing. My mother-in-law said that the police officer broke one of her ribs. I think

As Zachary agreed to do a favor for Vintage Deluxe's Mick Crane in passing, he and Jacob agreed to meet up at 7pm at the car park by Antique Street.He first took Jacob back to the Calligraphy and Painting Association and called Billy, one of his boys whom he thought was smarter than the rest, giving him the gist of the plan and telling him to familiarize himself with the script.Then, he took the sculpture back to Heaven Springs and met up with Billy in office, telling Billy what to do in finer detail and making sure he committed everything to memory.Zachary's strength as a judge of character certainly proved itself—Billy had never done anything like this before, but he took to the plan like fish to water. He committed the script to memory soon enough, and he was flawless.Once he made sure that Billy was fine, Zachary called Mick.As soon as Mick answered, he immediately asked, "Hello, Mr. Evans. How is that thing we talked about going?"Zachary chuckled. All the arrangements

Zachary continued, "Why do you think casinos are always making a profit? It's exactly because no matter how unassuming a guest is the first time, they would be allowed to win a couple of hands, making a little profit.""And suddenly, they would think that they are the chosen one, destined to win against all odds and always come out triumphant! Once such radical, blind confidence hits them, every last bit of his money would be lost to the casino!""At that point, you can get anything from them—their house, their wife, their children… hell, they'd be willing to die if you'd just let them gamble again!"Turning toward Jacob with a grin, Zachary then asked, "So, with all the points I made and that sculpture you're holding… Do you still think Raymond wouldn't fall for it?"Jacob laughed out loud. "Oh, talk about a plan within a plan! No one would ever see it coming! Raymond Cole is so screwed!"Zachary smiled and nodded. "That's why there's no reason to rush—I'll arrange a man to get r

As soon as they drove out of the village, Jacob asked Zachary eagerly, "So, when do you think we should make our move? I can't wait!"Zachary didn't hesitate, "Let's do it today. It's better than waiting! I'll get someone reliable to bring this to Treasure Measure and get him interested. I'm sure that since he has just returned to Antique Street, he'll need a hot deal to generate hype and make himself known. That's why I'm sure he'll take this sculpture."Jacob nodded repeatedly as he chuckled. "I think so too. Today is definitely best since I'll be going to Dubai soon and probably leaving once I'm done with this. Once you get this settled by the end of today, I'll get tickets for the flight tomorrow!"Zachary grinned. "Don't worry, chief. We will definitely get it settled today…"He trailed off for a moment before continuing, "Still, you should be a little patient. We should do this in the evening—at the second just before Raymond Cole closes shop.""But why?" Jacob asked in curi

Jacob was naturally gleeful that he could get the late medieval bronze sculpture along with its base. Right after he wired the agreed upon ninety-eight grand to Mr. Cardensky, he was already imagining how Raymond would buy it from him for several hundred grand.On the other hand, once Mr. Cardensky received the transfer, he saw the name on the account: Jacob Wilson.He was left perplexed—wasn't that man's last name Montague? Who was this Jacob Wilson?Still, he didn't worry about it too much since most antique hustlers preferred to work with anonymity and therefore, using a different name was perfectly normal.He then carefully wrapped up the bronze sculpture before passing it Jacob, asking politely, "Would you happen to have any other requests, Mr. Montague? I have plenty of other items here if you'd permit me to give an introduction."Jacob shook his head, "Just this sculpture will do. I'm not fully confident in your work either since this is our first deal, so I'm just trying i

Jacob asked, "Then, what would this sculpture be worth if it was genuine?"Mr. Cardensky thought about it. "Well, there are standards when it comes to Renaissance relics, but with something this exquisite, it'd definitely be auctionable for one or two million—and that's the conservative estimate.""How much would you sell it to me for?" Jacob then asked."Thirty percent of the market price," Mr. Cardensky quickly replied. "As I've said, the conservative estimate for this one is around one to two million, so we will set the price with the median estimate value at 1.5 million. And thirty percent means 450 grand."Jacob shook his head right away. "No, no, no… that's too expensive. What if I end up unable to sell it, on top of that?"In his mind, while he could barely accept that pricing, he still needed Raymond to be able to afford it if he wanted to swindle Raymond for twice the money.Mr. Cardensky quickly chuckled, "Oh, Mr. Montague—now you're being too serious. In this business,

"Okay!"Mr. Cardensky smiled and pointed at a nearby farmyard. "There's our workshop—the good stuff is all in there. Allow me to take you there!"The farmyard seemed uninteresting at first glance, but Mr. Cardensky soon led them to the stables and brushed off the straws covering the floor, revealing a plank laid flat on the ground.Mr. Cardensky then lifted it, revealing a passage below—they had dug a cellar into the ground beneath, with the stables as an entry point.As Jacob followed Mr. Cardensky down the cellar, he exclaimed in awe, "Your operation is definitely big, digging such a huge cellar!"Mr. Cardensky smiled humbly. "Anyone working in the business would have sustained their losses before. In the end, we're all folk of humble origins, starting out with raiding tombs or excavating artifacts. Just digging a cellar is really nothing."As they conversed, they cleared the stairs and arrived at the main hall.It was certainly a hall as it was around a hundred square meters,

Zachary nodded repeatedly. "Mr. Montague? Very well!""Yes!" Jacob grinned smugly. "Longer last names are simply better—it just sounds so authoritative."With that agreed upon, both men alighted, where the master was waiting nearby.Seeing them get off, he hurried over to them, smiling, "Please, follow me."Zachary looked around and huffed, "Honestly, Mr. Cardensky, isn't this way too far from the highway? The road is narrow and terrible, and I have to park my car all the way out here. Just coming here is taxing."Mr. Cardensky smiled in turn. "My friend, that's exactly why we picked this place. Do you remember seeing a couple of cars parked by the road, occupying half of it?""We arranged for them to be there. Anyone coming by car would have to slow down that way, buying time for us to see who they truly are. If it's cops, our watchers would quietly text us while we clean the house and bail."Zachary exclaimed in realization, "You boys really run a tight ship!""For sure," Mr.

After working in Antique Street for years, Zachary's connections and influence were naturally special. And yet, though he was acquainted with some of the more impressive individuals, he was not that close with them either.For example, the forgery masters who worked specifically to deceive experts only accepted jobs from major clients, usually antique traders high in social status and wealth.In contrast, they wouldn't ever be interested in frivolous people like Zachary. Even if he could reach them, they might not look at him twice.If one would describe them as the cartel boss, then Zachary would be a low-level enforcer, managing night joints or goofing off.But now, Zachary had turned over a new leaf—he worked under Don Albert, so one of those masters was pleasantly surprised when he called one of them, inviting him to his own workshop for a visit and further discussion.As such, Zachary picked up Jacob and went over to the master's hideout where the latter worked on his count

Zachary was naturally shrewd enough to read Jacob's intention.In reality, he wasn't offering to pay just because he wanted the profit. He merely wanted to get in Jacob's good graces. After all, wouldn't Jacob be even more grateful that he wasn't just helping his revenge but also helping him make money?As such, he didn't hesitate to tell Jacob, "Well, chief—since you'll be paying, I will make sure that you will get every cent of profit that you deserve."Jacob was grinning ear-to-ear, but he said, "Oh, you don't have to! If we really are making a profit, there's no way I would let your good work go unrewarded!"Spreading his arms, he continued generously, "How about this? I will pay the full cost while you get twenty percent of the net profit!"Zachary laughed. "Now, that can wait, chief. We need to pay as soon as we decide on the item we want, and there's no time for buyer's regret. But if Raymond doesn't take the bait, all that money will go down the drain, and whether we can s
