A few minutes ago, Nanako had just finished her work and returned to her home in Tokyo by car.Since taking over the Ito family not long ago, Nanako had been working overtime during this period of time so that she could quickly adapt and rise to the role of the Ito family’s helmsman.Under normal circumstances, she would usually wait until after nine o’clock at night before returning home after getting off work.The reason why she had returned home at six o’clock today was mainly because it was her father, Yahiko’s fiftieth birthday.Thus, she had left work early to celebrate her father’s birthday.In the past, when Yahiko had celebrated his birthday, it was not just the Ito family’s extended family members who would come to celebrate his birthday, but even the heads of many prestigious families in Tokyo would come to congratulate him.However, ever since Yahiko’s legs had been amputated, he had been very resistant toward such crowded occasions. So, for his birthday dinner this y

“Qungua?” The young maid shook her head in bewilderment. “Miss... I... I don’t think I’ve heard of it before.”Nanako said with a smile, “The qungua is one of the Oskian women’s traditional dresses, and it’s usually in red and gold. There is also fine embroidery on it, and it looks very gorgeous and beautiful. There has also been a different improvement in the style over the recent years, and it is really beautiful and looks particularly festive when worn.”The maid said with a blank expression, “Miss, there’s no need for Japanese women like us to wear the Oskian wedding dress when we get married, right? Wouldn’t that be a little too strange?”Nanako shook her head mischievously and said shyly, “I’ll naturally wear a kimono if I marry a Japanese, but I will have to wear the Oskian wedding dress if I marry an Oskian to suit the occasion. Besides, as the saying goes, if you marry a man, you will have to follow and adapt to his customs and tradition.”“What?!” The maid was appalled an

He was well-known in Japan and even regarded as an inspirational idol by many people. He had singlehandedly built the Ito family into one of the top families in Japan, and he was also in his prime at the age of fifty. He should have been at the age where he could be exercising his ambitions to the fullest. However, at this time, he had suddenly lost his legs and become a disabled person who had to rely on someone to take care of him at home, and he had to use a wheelchair when he went out. It would be difficult to fill this gap in his heart for the next three to five years.So, she said to Hiroshi, “Tanaka-san, please invite the manufacturer of the billiard table to come here tomorrow to let them see if there is any way to upgrade the table so that it can be more suitable for my father’s current situation, such as making its height as adjustable as possible, and the legs supporting the table should be tucked inward as much as possible to avoid collision with the wheelchair. In any cas

Nanako pulled the door open gently and then left her slippers outside the door as she walked in barefoot.When Yahiko saw that Nanako was dressed up like a fairy, he could not help but say proudly, “Nanako, I can’t wait to see you when you get married. You will definitely be even more beautiful than you look now. I’m afraid that the whole of Japan will be stunned by you then!”Nanako smiled slightly and said, “My Eminent Father, I’ve never thought about getting married so soon.”“Oh...” Yahiko responded and said emotionally, “You still cannot forget Charlie?”Nanako did not hide her feelings and said earnestly, “My Eminent Father, I’m still unable to let Charlie-kun go. Aside from him, there is no place in my heart for anyone else. Even if I can forget him, it would be impossible for me to like anyone else.”Yahiko was stunned for a moment and then said with some distress, “Nanako, Charlie is a good man, but I don’t know how long you will have to wait for him. A woman’s golden per

So, she quickly answered the phone, walked over to an unoccupied corner, and spoke up as she asked excitedly, “Charlie-kun, aren’t you in the United States? Why are you calling me?”Charlie smiled slightly and said, “Nanako, I have something very important to tell you.”Nanako hurriedly said, “Charlie-kun, please speak up!”Charlie instructed, “You should put down all matters at hand right now and bring your father and Hiroshi to meet me in New York. The sooner, the better.”“Huh?” Nanako asked in surprise and astonishment, “You want me to bring my Eminent Father and Tanaka-san to New York right now?”“Yes.” Charlie said, “It’s a long journey, so it’d be best for you to leave for the airport now. You don’t need to bring any luggage or anything like that, just come as fast as you can.”Nanako wanted to say that it was her father’s birthday tonight and whether they could leave two hours later so that her father could at least finish his meal first before leaving.However, she coul

After Yahiko had put on the uncomfortable prostheses, several male servants helped him change into the hakama.As Yahiko stood on the spot dressed up in a new way, he did seem to have regained some of his former elegance.However, he was the only one who knew the pain involved.He just stood there for two or three minutes while putting on clothes, and he felt pain, numbness, and some itching where his body was in contact with the prostheses.He really wanted to throw this pair of prostheses immediately and return to the wheelchair again, but he had no choice but to resist the urge to do so when he thought about what his daughter had said about taking pictures.He had originally wanted to walk out on his own, but he did face some difficulties after taking a few steps due to the inconvenient movement of the prostheses, so he had to let the servant help him out of the room.However, he did not know that no one in the entire Ito family was still busy with his birthday. Instead, every

“How can we do that?!” Nanako said, “Charlie-kun asked me to take you and Tanaka-san with me!”“I still won’t go even if that’s the case.” Yahiko said angrily, “I haven’t left home for so long because I don’t want to go out and embarrass myself, let alone go to the United States.”Nanako said firmly, “This is Charlie-kun’s intention.”Yahiko said with some anger, “So what if it’s his intention? You’re the one who likes him, not me. You can go by yourself. I’ll stay here. I’m not going anywhere!”Nanako was a little angry, and her tone was even a little stern, and it seemed as if she was reprimanding him a little as she blurted out, “Otou-san! Have you forgotten Charlie-kun’s kindness to the Ito family?!”“I haven’t forgotten!” Yahiko said resentfully, “But don’t forget that Charlie has also taken quite a sum of money from me! He did not give the billions of US dollars to me after he said that he would not do it. Did I mention this after that? No, right?”Nanako said seriously, “O

Yahiko still looked a little sullen until the plane took off.Before boarding the plane, Nanako especially took a photo of Yahiko wearing the hakama as he stood on the prostheses under the plane and got the servant to carry him onto the plane immediately afterward. Half an hour after the plane took off and started flying smoothly, Nanako and her aunt hurriedly brought up the food and cake that they had brought with them to celebrate Yahiko’s fiftieth birthday in the air. Nanako lit the candles and sang the birthday song before coaxing Yahiko and saying, “Otou-san, blow out the candles!” Nanako did not realize that at this point, she had already changed the way she addressed her father from Eminent Father to Otou-san.She had even used a slightly reprimanding tone a couple of times without realizing it.Unexpectedly, this actually suppressed Yahiko’s original arrogance. After being reprimanded by his precious daughter, he lost his original temper, and it was replaced with a chi

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
