After giving instructions to Albert, Charlie called Isaac once again.As soon as the call was connected, Charlie told him immediately, “After Ichiro succeeds tonight, he’ll definitely try to escape from the country in the shortest time possible tonight. Therefore, you should set up a trap for him in Aurous Hill. Anyone in his group should be allowed to escape except for him!”Isaac replied immediately, “Don’t worry, Mr. Wade. I’ve already made all the necessary arrangements. I’ll definitely intercept Ichiro before he manages to escape!”After that, Isaac also promised, “I’ll make sure that the medicine that Ichiro stole from Anthony will never be taken out of the country!”“No!” Charlie said hurriedly. “I want them to take the medicine back to Japan. Remember that the medicine should leave the country but Ichiro must not be allowed to leave the country!”Isaac hurriedly replied, “Mr. Wade, I understand! Don’t worry, I won’t let Ichiro escape so easily!”“Okay!” Charlie smiled sli
Therefore, Ichiro was pinning his future on that night’s events.As he thought about this, Ichiro, who was extremely excited, quickly made a phone call to his father.His father, who was still paralyzed in bed, connected the call as soon as he received it. “Ichiro, where have you been the past few days? Why haven’t you come to see me at all?”Ichiro hurriedly replied, “Dad! I am seeking medicine for you in Aurous Hill. I heard that there’s a genius doctor here who cured a patient with severe paraplegia not too long ago!”“Is that true?” Masao asked in surprise. “Is there really such a magical doctor in Aurous Hill who would be able to cure severe paraplegia?”“Yes!” Ichiro replied. “I’ve already checked the hospital records and confirmed that the patient has been cured of his severe paraplegia! I also asked around and everyone confirmed that the genius doctor was in fact the one who cured the patient with just half a magical pill!”“Half a magical pill?” Masao was very excited at
Ichiro felt that he was going crazy after hanging up the phone because he was simply too excited!If he could get his hands on the magical pill, then he would definitely end up becoming the successor of Kobayashi Pharma.Coming to Aurous Hill was indeed a good bargain this time!At this time, Ichiro’s assistant, who was seated next to him in the Maybach, said, “Mr. Kobayashi, it is already eleven o’clock. Should we do it now?”Ichiro nodded before he sneered and said, “Do it!”The assistant quickly took out his walkie-talkie and ordered, “Do it now!”As soon as the voice fell, six men quickly sneaked into Anthony’s Serene World Clinic.Tonight, Anthony was sleeping over in the small bedroom in Serene World Clinic.In fact, Anthony had been patiently waiting for the Japanese to come for him at this time.However, to be safe, he arranged for his granddaughter, Xyla, to stay at the hotel tonight.After entering Serene World Clinic, the six men immediately came into Anthony’s bed
His assistant smiled before he said, “Don’t worry too much, Mr. Kobayashi. I don’t think anyone in Aurous Hill will be able to respond so quickly. We’ll take half an hour at most to reach the airport. After that, getting through the security check will be very quick for you since you’ll be using the VIP passage. We should be able to take off within an hour. At that time, not even God will be able to stop us!”Ichiro’s Maybach immediately drove away from Serene World Clinic and they headed on the expressway all the way to the airport immediately. They were planning to arrive at the airport as quickly as possible before they boarded the plane to return to Tokyo.Ichiro’s excitement increased rapidly along the way. He repeatedly looked at the four magical pills before he muttered to himself, “The Kobayashi family will be able to rely on this magical pill to stand up strong and powerful all over the world! At that time, I’ll definitely become the chairman of Kobayashi Pharma.”The Mayb
Ichiro handed the stolen magical pills over to his assistant and he was finally relieved after watching his assistant enter the airport without any problem. After that, Ichiro asked Isaac, “Where is your young lord?”Isaac replied lightly, “You’ll know once you come with me.”After he was done speaking, he signaled at the people around him before they dragged Ichiro over to the nearest off-road Mercedes-Benz immediately.The convoy quickly left the airport as they headed towards the dog farm opened by Albert in the suburbs.On the way to the dog farm, Isaac called Charlie before he said, “Mr. Wade, Ichiro is in my hands now. I’m bringing him over to Don Albert’s dog farm now. If you want to come over, I will send someone over to pick you up immediately!”Charlie glanced at Claire, who was fast asleep at this time, before he replied, “Alright then. Arrange for a car to pick me up from outside my house in five minutes.”After making the pearl and clam bracelet for Claire that was w
Charlie nodded before he looked at the six men and asked them, “Do you know this man, then?”The six men had a blank expression on their faces. They looked as if they could not speak their language at all.Isaac stepped forward at this time before he spoke to them in Japanese. At this time, the six men also shook their heads as they said a lot of words.Very soon, Isaac told Charlie, “Mr. Wade, they said that they do not know this man at all.”“Oh.” Charlie nodded before he said lightly, “Since they don’t know each other, then just pick one of them before chopping them up alive. After that, you can feed him to the dogs before asking the remaining five people again.”“Okay!” Isaac immediately explained Charlie’s words to the six men in Japanese and the six men were all shocked and dumbfounded at this time.They could not believe it. Charlie had simply asked them one single sentence and he was actually going to chop them up and feed them to the dogs?Did he really have that much g
Ichiro was so scared that he started crying out loud as soon as he heard Charlie’s words.He was not a bad person but he was just a rich young lord who wanted to honor his own family based on what he could do for them.Now, he had actually been caught by Charlie and was trapped in a dog farm, possibly being turned into delicious food in the mouth of countless evil dogs at any time. Ichiro was naturally afraid and feeling very regretful at this time.He cried as he begged Charlie, “Mr. Wade, I’m begging you now. Please just give me a number. No matter how much you ask for, I’m willing to pay you! Otherwise, why don’t I call my father and ask him to inform the crew to ask the plane to turn around and return to Aurous Hill immediately? I will return the magical pill to you directly. Would that be fine with you?”Charlie replied, “Are you still trying to lie to me at a time like this? Do you really take me for a fool? I know that many companies have very advanced component analysis equ
Ichiro had to muster up his courage to call his father.At this time, Masao was anxiously waiting for the magical pills to arrive in Tokyo.He was a very impatient person and he had already asked his family to hire an ambulance to take him directly to the airport so he could wait there instead.The Kobayashi family was very reputable in Tokyo. They even had a private independent hangar in Tokyo Airport for their private jet. Besides that, there was also a very high-end lounge in this hangar which was owned by the Kobayashi family. Therefore, Masao took his second son, Jiro, to the airport as he waited for the magical pills to arrive in Tokyo.At this time, he suddenly received a phone call from Ichiro. Masao hurriedly asked, “Ichiro, I heard that you did not board that plane when it took off earlier. Where are you now?”Ichiro hurriedly replied, “Dad! I was captured by the young lord of the Wade family in Eastcliff. He accused me of stealing the magical pills and their prescript
The lawyer then finished, "To be honest, cases of regretting a donation and seeking a lawsuit to get the money back? Law firms usually won't even get one per year, and that makes it especially newsworthy for the press."Also, court records are always public. That means anyone can access the verdict, and there's no hiding anything. So, if you want the lawsuit, you'd better be prepared."Jacob was already left in despair.All he wanted was to get his money back, but he didn't think that it would end up as public knowledge.And Mr. Bay had just told him over the phone that he would try to quell the scandal's pressure and try his best to protect Jacob's place as vice president.If Jacob's name was suddenly mentioned in a lawsuit attempting to reclaim an 'accidental' donation, even Mr. Bay couldn't save him at that point.Hence, after thinking long and hard about it, Jacob realized that he was not getting his 300 thousand back.The thought crushed him, and he burst into tears, "What
At this hour, most of the employees at Talbot Associates had already left.However, there were several lawyers who had just finished a meeting regarding a certain case, and they were just leaving when Jacob arrived.Seeing that they were packing up their bags and ready to leave, he asked, "Excuse me, are you still able to take cases?"The leader smiled, "Yes, but it's a little late now. Why don't you come again tomorrow morning?"Jacob shook his head impatiently. "This is very urgent—please help me and hear me out, then see if it will work. 300 thousand banks on this, so I'll give you twenty percent whether or not I get it back!"300 thousand was really neither here nor there.However, if it were an easy civil case, that twenty percent commission would still mean sixty thousand.The lawyer thought about it. "Fine. Tell us what your problem is, and we will assess the situation first. If it's easy, we can give you a general strategy right now. But if it proves difficult, we'll hav
The cabbie nodded. "Well, Talbot Associates, it is! They're said to be number two."-While Jacob was heading off to consult a law firm, Charlie was calling Julien Rothschild over the phone.The manchild had just had room service and was lounging on the couch, fiddling with his phone.After visiting the kennels with Charlie, he had been idling his days away at the hotel, waiting for Salem and his son to post that video of them being out at sea.Once that was done, Julien would return to the States, once more the heir apparent of the Rothschilds. Still, it was boring to simply lounge around in the hotel, and he would really like to strengthen his ties with Charlie.However, he was also afraid of being too forward as Charlie could be intimidating, and he could upset him—just like a fan eager to get close to their idol but was still worried about their idol getting disgusted with them.As such, he never expected Charlie to call him, and he immediately answered eagerly, "Good even
Pausing, Mr. Bay continued, "If they're not that upset with the idea, I'll bang my gavel and make the call so that you can at least stay as a vice president."If they keep refusing, I just have to promote Mr. Zonda to become a vice president while you take over his position of head-of-department as insurance. What do you think?"Jacob certainly wouldn't protest the idea of insurance, especially when he thought he would be forced to leave the Calligraphy and Painting Association altogether earlier. He quickly exclaimed gratefully, "Thank you so much, Mr. Bay!"Mr. Bay chuckled, clearly relieved as well. "Come on, Jacob—you don't have to be so formal. I'm like a brother to you! Don't you think that's what I should be doing?"Jacob laughed earnestly for once. "Well, brother, I'm honestly relieved…" He trailed off but soon pressed on, "But I have to ask, won't the other members have things to say even if you manage to persuade the other vice presidents? What if they remain unhappy?
There were times when making a person despair to some extent could be a people-strategy.For example, when your distant acquaintance asked for a ten grand loan but you could only lend him one, you couldn't tell him directly that. It would make them think you were being insincere.The better option would be to tell them how you were worse off than they were and had a debt yourself, or that some other friend had borrowed money for three years and never repaid it.And when that mere acquaintance was in despair, you could tell them that if it was really important, you could lend them one thousand with a credit card loan.That way, while the mere acquaintance wouldn't exactly be awash with gratitude, they at least wouldn't complain about your lack of sincerity.That was exactly what Mr. Bay was doing.He had no intention of offending Jacob, but he also couldn't directly tell him to give up on claiming the position as president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association. Otherwise, Ja
Jacob felt absolutely horrible just then, and he certainly did not expect Don Albert to give him the cold shoulder.If he had known, he would have just stayed content with the 200 thousand he had made and enjoyed his trip to Dubai! If he had, the Calligraphy and Painting Association wouldn't have found out about the bronze sculpture plot, and Don Albert would still be on friendly terms with him.Absolutely regretting everything, Jacob got in the backseat of the cab, tears of grief almost welling up and out of his eyes.Then, noticing that the cabbie was quietly watching him from the rearview mirror, he turned his face aside, whipped out his phone, and called Mr. Bay.As soon as Mr. Bay answered, he asked, "How did things go over there? Have you sorted out Zachary Evans yet?"He was waiting for Jacob to ask Don Albert for help so that the latter would pressure Zachary into posting a statement retracting his previous claims.However, Jacob knew full well that there was no hope for
Ramond replied, "I'm not planning on getting my name out there—I was just thinking I could start slow from one shop, but now, I'm suddenly so popular everyone's consulting me for appraisals, so I guess that's the short end of this."Either way, I'm planning to let things cool off by opening the shop late and closing early. That way, I'd receive fewer customers, and the hype will die down in a month."Once it does, I'll lead a slow life, which is perfect in Aurous Hill since it's how things are here. I'm not aiming to get rich or expand my business, and it's a comfortable life, so I plan to retire here."Charlie nodded. "The Rothschilds are relatively manageable, but I'm not sure if the Qing Eliminating Society is still looking for you and the Four-Sided Treasure Tower. You'll be completely free once they are wiped out.""And I'm sure with your abilities, Mr. Wade, that day will soon arrive." Raymond smiled and soon remembered. "By the way, you probably haven't had dinner yet, right
Charlie was never one who covered up misdeeds, and what Jacob had done reflected his corrupted character and clear refusal to feel remorse.As such, Charlie naturally refused to offer any help, completely giving up and allowing Jacob to keep going off on his own tangent, tearing himself apart in the process.Still, Raymond did put a good word in for Jacob. "Actually, one can understand Mr. Wilson's motives from a certain point of view. I was the one who set him up so that he broke that vase, and had him beaten up so that we didn't arouse suspicion. He has every reason to bear a grudge."Charlie sighed, nodding. "There's no issue with holding a grudge or getting revenge—in fact, I have no problem with him trying to salvage some pride. However, what he did was unseemly, and he doesn't know when to stop."He didn't lose anything before Zachary exposed everything. Even if he had missed a killer deal, he bought it off someone's hand in the first place and made two hundred grand in clean
With those words, Jacob didn't wait any further as he turned and left Antique Street, intent on seeking legal counsel.Raymond watched him leave before returning to Treasure Measure.He wasn't going to leave, but he had said so because he didn't want to waste much time with Jacob.Still, to avoid any trouble, he turned the sign outside to 'closed' before locking the door from the inside.That was when a man suddenly arrived, asking through the glass door, "Can I still take a look inside, sir?"Raymond was ready to refuse without even turning around when he realized that it was Charlie.He turned around and saw him standing outside just as expected.Smiling, he hurried over to open the door for him. "It's been a while, Mr. Wade!"Charlie was aware that Raymond was sticking to his identity of 'Raymond Cole' who had not been in touch since Raymond had been fired from Vintage Deluxe.Charlie chuckled in turn. "It has indeed. And you're a business owner yourself now, too.""It's j
