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
An hour later, a global express private jet landed at Tokyo Airport.After the plane landed, it taxied all the way to its own private hangar.Masao had been waiting in the hangar for a long time.As soon as the plane entered the hangar, it stopped and the door opened immediately. After that, Ichiro’s assistant jumped out of the plane eagerly with the small wooden box in his hand. He quickly ran towards Masao at this time.At this time, Masao was really looking forward to the medicine as he sat in the wheelchair. His second son Jiro was pushing the wheelchair with a blank expression on his face at this time.In fact, Jiro was really very annoyed. He was already winning the competition to become the heir of the family. Moreover, he depended on his own strength and ability to beat and dominate his own elder brother. Unexpectedly, his elder brother had actually gone to Aurous Hill just to steal the magical pills.If this medicine was really so magical, then it would not only cure his
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
Jacob zipped toward Raymond, his attitude immediately subservient, "I'm sure you've seen what Zachary Evans posted on his Twitter page, and to be honest, it's so terrible that my position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association has been affected too. I mean, you've made a lot of money, right?"Hell, even if you donated ten million, you'd still have another ten million and 970 thousand in net profits. So, all I'd like to ask is for you to post something to disclaim Zachary's post.Jacob's words left Raymond in thought.For Jacob, just being suspected of fraud would definitely be terrible. In fact, his position in the Calligraphy and Painting Association would definitely be threatened—if not dismissed altogether—if he wasn't cleared of suspicion.Since Jacob was Charlie Wade's father-in-law, Raymond had reason not to drive Jacob over the brink.But that also begged another question—it must be under Charlie's intention for Zachary to post his confession, and that meant Charlie in
Raymond couldn't help chuckling just as Jacob finished—he had honestly never heard of anyone who demanded a refund after donating to charity, but he was certainly seeing one now.Still, the receptionist was clearly experienced and slowly explained, "Sir, it's a legal clause of the country that all donations for philanthropy purposes can not be refunded under most circumstances—""It truly was a mistake," Jacob quickly said, cutting the receptionist off. "I was going to donate thirty thousand but pressed an extra zero by mistake. Please discuss this with your management—you just have to refund 27 thousand, see?""Sorry, sir," the receptionist apologized. "But it's a strict rule that we ourselves do not get to access the funds that have been donated into our accounts. Every donation will be screened extensively, and if you consider that there was a major oversight on your part, you may seek legal counsel to appeal for a refund. If the courts back your appeal, our organization will the
Nonetheless, Jacob darted into Treasure Measure and plucked off his mask, asking nervously, "Excuse me, Mr. Cole? It's me… Jacob Wilson…"Raymond looked up, pausing for a moment before acting as if he was actually curious, "Mr. Wilson! What brings you here? Don't tell me—you want that bronze sculpture back too?""No, no, no…" Jacob quickly shook his head. "I would never… I returned all the way from Dubai to apologize!""Apologize?" Raymond smiled faintly, and he did not play dumb this time as he asked bluntly, "Did you come back because of Zachary Evan's post?"Knowing he couldn't deny it any longer, Jacob nodded, "Yeah…"Raymond nodded and said calmly, "That's unnecessary. I was the one who benefited in the end."Jacob wasn't quite keeping up—thinking that Raymond was just trying to be nice by telling him he didn't have to apologize, he quickly pulled out his phone.Tapping on it and bringing up his transaction records, he handed it to Raymond reverently, "Mr. Cole, I understan
The cabbie chuckled. "You're a local yet you're heading to Antique Street right away as soon as you land instead of going home? And you're still saying you're not trying to pick up a killer bargain deal?"Come on, man—it's not just you, I want that too. We cabbies work ourselves to death only for ten thousand per month at best while our friend over there made twenty million in one night. I could keep driving cabs for the rest of my life and still not make that much money."Jacob knew that the cabbie must be talking about Raymond and became even more miserable then, grumbling unhappily, "I'm going to Antique Street for business—I'm not trying to pick up some missed bargain.""No? Then you didn't hear what happened yesterday?"The cabbie was immediately curious, and without waiting for Jacob's answer, he exclaimed happily, "Look, man—it was so ridiculous not even Hollywood would put it in their script. There were these fools who were trying to sell an antique trader a replica, but th
It was nighttime in Dubai as Jacob dragged his weary body from the hotel back to the airport.As he was flying economy this time, he was left sitting at the hard bench near the boarding terminal, waiting for it to open.While he waited, his heart was torn as he tapped into the website of the Aurous Hill Charity Fund, found their donation account, and wired the entire 300 thousand he had made over to them.He had picked the Aurous Hill Charity Fund because the circles of antique collectors in Aurous Hill were all discussing how Raymond had donated half of the 20 million he had made to that same charity fund.After Raymond skyrocketed to prominence in Antique Street and became a star, it could not be denied that people admired his profound ability.However, there were also people who envied his skill in turning the tables just as there were those who were jealous he had made twenty million in a single night.Still, Raymond moved fast—soon after word spread that he had made twenty m
Elaine quickly asked, "Well, what if you can't get it done?"Jacob was apprehensive even as he sighed. "If they really pressed the issue, guess I can't even stay at the Calligraphy and Painting Association now… We will see. If things get bad, I'll just resign. I won't ask for much right now, just as long as I don't have to go to jail."Elaine nodded. "Then you should try to reason things out with Raymond Cole or ask for Charlie's help if push comes to shove. Being humiliated is still better than prison.""Okay!"-It was nighttime at Aurous Hill by the time Elaine and Jacob arrived at their hotel.Charlie and Claire had just had dinner, and Claire pulled out her phone, saying, "I just checked my flight app, and it says my parents should have landed two hours ago. They are probably at the hotel, so I'll check in on them with a video call."She had yet to open her WhatsApp when Elaine called her on a video call.Jacob was planning to check in with Claire and Charlie to put their
Hearing what Jacob had said, Elaine became anxious and pressed him as he hung up, "What's going on? You're leaving? But we just got here! My shoes have just caught Dubai dirt, so why are we leaving so soon—"However, Jacob was wiping the sweat off his brow as he mumbled quietly, "Well, at this point, I have to leave or I won't be vice president anymore."Elaine immediately fumed. "We've been married for half our lives, and this is supposed to be our honeymoon, yet we're just leaving? I've posted about this on social media too—there are plenty of people who're waiting for more posts on our trip!"And don't forget—we spent a lot on our flight tickets and our hotels! The hotel bookings can't be refunded either!"Jacob scowled dolefully. "Well, what can we do? Why don't you stay? I'll go home and get this sorted out first….""Well, how long would that take?" Elaine asked."How should I know?" Jacob sighed, uneasy and annoyed. "Don Albert is saying I have to go back and donate the 300
"But I spent 98 thousand on that bronze sculpture!" Jacob exclaimed in agitation before he knew it. "I made 300 thousand from it, and that means my profit was 200 thousand at best, but I'm supposed to return that to him as well?! That means I'd have lost my own capital too!""I can't help you if you can't bear to part with that money, Mr. Wilson," Don Albert said quietly. "In that case, you'll just have to handle it yourself.""Wait, wait, wait!" Jacob immediately became antsy and cried out right then, "Please, Don Albert! I'll return the money! I'll return it, alright?! The entirety of my profits—202 thousand, okay? At least let me keep the money I spent, okay?""By that reasoning, Mr. Wilson, when a phone scammer is told by the cops to return the money they've made from defrauding, should he be allowed to keep the money he spent on telco charges? ""Oh, I…" Jacob was left stumped and could not come up with an answer.Don Albert then pressed on, "Mr. Wilson, I've offered a prom
