“F*ck...”The division chief suddenly felt his heart beating frantically at this moment. ‘What the hell is this situation?! How can Mad Dog White bring up the topic of racial discrimination in just two sentences?!’In the United States, the police were most afraid of the words ‘racial discrimination’. Once things reached the level of these two words, things would immediately rise to the most serious level.The police officer involved would not only be expelled from the police force, but even his own division chief might be subject to very serious disciplinary action. In the case of a mass incident, the division chief could only take the blame and resign.So, he quickly explained to Jakel, “Mr. White, this matter has nothing to do with racial discrimination. The most important reason is because this case is really serious, so my subordinates were eager to investigate the whole situation and ins and outs of the incident so that the mastermind could be arrested as soon as possib

This was Charlie’s intention.After all, Elaine was not just Elaine but also Charlie’s mother-in-law. Even if this matter was finally resolved in the end, Charlie did not want others to know that his mother-in-law had been involved in such a ridiculous and absurd scam. On one hand, he could not afford to lose this person, and on the other hand, if this matter were to end up becoming a big deal and Elaine was known at an international level, as her son-in-law, people might also end up investigating him.Therefore, Charlie’s request was to solve this problem in a low-profile manner instead of making too much action.The reason why Jakel had said that was also to attack instead of defending. People like Jakel knew that he could never let his opponent know of his true demands.Once his opponent found out that he did not want this matter to be exposed, the opponent would definitely use this matter to test his bottom line. So, instead of that, it would be better for him to countera

No one had treated Elaine with respect ever since her arrest.The combination of her injury and fear had caused a great negative impact on her body and mind.When Elaine saw Jakel speaking so respectfully to her now, she instantly burst into tears with excitement.She cried as she said extremely aggrievedly, “They not only hit me and scolded me, but they also threatened and intimidated me... I already told them many times that I was deceived and I did not know what was in that suitcase, but they were still very impatient with me as if I’m a criminal... They are simply too much...”When the division chief who was aside heard this, he was stunned, and he rebuked immediately, “B*stards! Why didn’t you send Madam Elaine to the hospital in time?! Why did you continue interrogating Madam Elaine even though you knew that she was injured?! Besides, how did Madam Elaine even get injured, and who caused it? Step forward now and tell me clearly!”Everyone was so nervous that they did not kn

After Jim had left, the division chief hurriedly looked at Jakel with a flattering expression and said, “Mr. White, I will arrange for someone to take Madam Elaine to go see a doctor first. I will also communicate with my superiors about the media and ask them not to notify the media about this matter for the time being. We should be unified to keep silent before the media first. As you know, there are also too many issues related to racial discrimination in American society now, and there are also various continuous protests going on. So, we should not be adding chaos to the general environment. What do you think?”Jakel glanced at the division chief and said lightly, “If you can give my client enough humanitarian treatment, I can keep this matter from the media for the time being, but I also reserve the right to notify the media.”When the division chief heard this, he finally heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, “In that case, we will arrange medical treatment for Madam Ela

As Jakel was accompanying Elaine to the hospital, Charlie was on his way to New York.Jakel reported the situation to Jordan promptly, and Jordan then reported the situation to Charlie immediately. According to Jakel, he would only be able to apply for one to two days of hospital treatment time for Elaine at most, but Elaine would have to attend the preliminary hearing after the hospital treatment was over. During the preliminary hearing, the judge would make a ruling on whether Elaine could be released on bail based on the general circumstances of the case. If she could be released on bail, the judge would give a bail amount, and as long as the money was available, she would be able to temporarily regain her freedom.However, according to Jakel, the amount of contraband involved in Elaine’s case was too large, so bail was basically impossible. This meant that Elaine would temporarily be held in a detention center after the preliminary hearing.Similarly, the United States a

Charlie then said again, “There is one more thing.”Porter said respectfully, “Mr. Wade, please speak up.”Charlie said seriously, “Help me investigate an Oskian person named Lucy Cardy in Providence. She looks like she’s in her fifties, and I believe she is using a fake identity. However, since she has used this fake identity to live in Providence, she must have left some clues behind. So, I need you to help me find out this person’s current whereabouts as soon as possible.”Having said that, Charlie instructed again, “Also, their gang should have a counterpart here in New York. Find a way to investigate the surveillance at the airport and find out who exactly interacted and had contact with my mother-in-law. After that, find a way to find out her whereabouts as well. It’d be best if you can catch the person directly.”“No problem!” Porter said without hesitation, “Don’t worry, Mr. Wade. You can leave everything to me!” Charlie knew very well that Lucy would definitely find a wa

By the time Charlie had rushed back to New York, it was already night.Since Kathleen had kindly invited him to stay at Fox Mansion before he had arrived in New York, Charlie had agreed to it. There would be many inconveniences for him even if he were to go to a hotel at the last minute. It would be relatively more convenient for him to stay at Fox Mansion temporarily.When the helicopter arrived home, the members of the Fox family came out to greet Charlie again.They were still led by Jordan and Kathleen as they waited for Charlie’s arrival again.As soon as they met, Jordan stepped forward with Kathleen’s support and said very respectfully, “Mr. Wade, I’ve already asked someone to prepare the banquet. I believe that you haven’t eaten yet after all the hard work, so why don’t we go to the dining room for dinner first? What do you think?”Charlie hadn’t eaten since he had dropped Elaine off in the afternoon, so as soon as Jordan reminded him, he felt a little hungry. Therefore,

Charlie nodded, recalled something, and asked him, “Lord Fox, as far as you know, have there been many cases where compatriots harm their own compatriots in the United States over the past few years?” Jordan smiled awkwardly and said seriously, “There have indeed been many such cases. In fact, this kind of thing has been commonly seen in the United States...”Having said that, Jordan said again, “Of course, it’s not just our Oskian compatriots who are in this situation. In truth, people from other countries are also facing similar problems.”After pausing for a moment, Jordan explained, “As you know, the United States is a country of immigrants, so the composition of the population here is very complex. There are many ethnic minorities, and there are often two extremes to these ethnic minorities due to the new arrivals and language barrier.”“The first extreme is that they would get particularly close to their fellow countrymen. Everyone would be closely knitted together to take c

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

Zachary chuckled and continued, "Well, I went to Antique Street and asked around. Turns out our mutual friend only brought a few hundred thousand grand with him. If he messes up and loses all his money, won't it be over for him?""He won't just be broke either—he'd be humiliated and forced to fuck off from Antique Street. You'd get even then!"Jacob was at once excited.Just yesterday, Claire and Charlie were warning him that assault meant doing time.As the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association and the next presidential-hopeful, he would lose his place if he was charged with assault or being an accessory to a case.However, Zachary's plan was much better. Jacob wouldn't have to take responsibility, and the damage on Raymond would be even worse!In comparison, slapping Raymond meant nothing. Watching him go broke and get humiliated would really ease his heart!With that in mind, he promptly pressed Zachary, "Are you sure that prick will mess up?""I can't a

Jacob Wilson was in his office at the Calligraphy and Painting Association, planning his itinerary in Dubai.Still, he was immediately thrilled when Zachary told him that there was progress, and he quickly said, "Come see me at the Calligraphy and Painting Association. We'll talk in my office!""Alright!" Zachary agreed to it happily. "Just wait, Mr. Wilson. I'll be right there!"Jacob then quickly told him, "By the way, remember to address me as the vice president when you're here. Got it?"Zachary was naturally sharp enough to understand why, especially around other members of the Calligraphy and Painting Association.Smiling, he said, "Don't worry, chief. You can always be at ease when I'm on the job!"Once he hung up, he drove to the Calligraphy and Painting Association at top speed.There were just a dozen people around the dozens of work cubicles although Zachary was curious about the personal effects or office tools in the cubicles.After asking around, a staff member le

Then, Mick continued, "I won't lie—Moore Group's bean counters have been eager to get rid of Vintage Deluxe for a while now. It's only Miss Moore's insistence that keeps them at bay, even occasionally coming to check on how business is going. That means she holds sentiment for this place, but if she knows that Raymond is back and doing well, she might hire him again!"Zachary could laugh right then. After all, Mick was terrible at gathering information—he could worry about anyone taking his palace, but not Raymond. The man was fired because he had insulted Master Wade's father in-law, and Miss Moore was endlessly respectful—even obedient to Master Wade. There was no chance that she would hire Raymond back after what he had done, and Mick was just being paranoid.However, Zachary did not tell Mick that.As Mick was begging him to intervene and thus owing him big time, he would also be helping Jacob Wilson get even.Two birds with one stone, so why not?With that in mind, Zachar
