The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 4844
Charlie’s words put Merlin in a trance for a moment.He found that both of his previous assumptions were somewhat contradictory at this moment.First of all, if everything was real now, it would be impossible to explain how he could still come back to life after his body had been riddled with bullet holes.Secondly, if everything now was just his own consciousness, it would then be impossible to explain how his brain could survive in that situation at that time.After all, when the body loses its ability to supply blood, the brain would only last for five minutes at most. According to the situation at that time, it would have been impossible for him to have retained his consciousness. Since he could not retain his consciousness, what was going on now, then?When Charlie saw that he was thinking hard, he said lightly, “Let me tell you how you survived.”“After you were shot that day, I used my method to preserve your brain from dying so you could be brought here to be frozen smoot

Charlie smiled and said, “Oh, so you’ve heard of the Rejuvenating Pill. You heard about it from my uncle, right?”“Your uncle...” Merlin was stunned for a moment, then Charlie’s self-introduction when he had just woken up suddenly dawned on him, and he blurted out, “It was indeed Christian who told me about it...”Charlie nodded and asked with a smile, “Since he mentioned the Rejuvenating Pill to you, he must have also mentioned that the organizer kicked him out of the auction for the Rejuvenating Pill, right?”Merlin’s eyes widened in shock as he blurted out, “How... How did you know that?”“Of course I know.” Charlie said with a smile, “Because just like the Regenerating Pill, the Rejuvenating Pill is also mine. I was the sponsor behind the auction, and I was the one who asked people to kick him out of the auction.”Merlin was appalled and blurted out, “Why did you kick him out when you knew that he is your uncle?”Charlie said indifferently, “When I kicked him out, I didn’t kn

Merlin also felt that it was indeed a little indecent for him to simply sit in this drained pool.So, he asked awkwardly, “Well, are there any clothes that I can change into?”Charlie looked at Kathleen, who was aside, and said, “Miss Fox, can you help solve Chief Lammy’s problem?”Kathleen nodded and hurriedly said, “There are a lot of work clothes for the scientific researchers here. I’ll get a set for Chief Lammy!”Charlie nodded and said, “Okay. Thank you, Miss Fox.”Kathleen turned around and left, and she soon brought back a set of work clothes for Merlin.After Merlin had put on the work clothes, he followed Charlie into the lounge next door. Charlie then handed a bottle of water over to Merlin. After Merlin took it, he could not wait to drink the whole bottle of water, and after wiping his mouth, he could not help but say, “Young Master Wade, thank you for your life-saving grace. I don’t know how to say flattering words, but since you’ve saved my life, I will definitely

Charlie said, “I once heard my father’s old subordinate saying that back then when my parents died, they were besieged by a group of dead soldiers. After they succeeded, all of them bit the poison in their mouths and died on the spot. The method they used is the same as that of the group of dead soldiers that we met at the stadium. Although there is a span of twenty years between the two incidents, considering the fact that the other party is an organization that has lasted for hundreds of years, I think that these two events are probably done by the same organization.”Merlin asked curiously, “Young Master Wade, how did you know that this organization has a history of hundreds of years?” Charlie said, “I caught someone alive and asked him to give me some information about the dead soldiers.”With that said, Charlie then told Merlin all the information that he had gotten from 547 at that time. Merlin was so stunned that he could not speak for a long time after hearing this. He

Merlin was startled when he heard this, and he could not come back to his senses for a long time.He was very familiar with Ten Thousand Armies because of his previous occupation, and he even knew that Ten Thousand Armies had invested a huge amount of money to build its own permanent base in Syria.For a mercenary organization to have a permanent base basically meant that they were ahead of all the other mercenary organizations of the same kind.Mercenaries were more disgusting to law enforcement agencies in various countries than underground forces like Albert.The vast majority of mercenary organizations were considered public enemies who were criticized and shunned in all countries in the world. They could only survive in secret, and they would never dare to show their signboards openly unless the organization could collaborate deeply with the government. Although there were many mercenary organizations in the United States, aside from a few organizations that could collaborat

Charlie nodded and said, “They met me that night and knew that I arranged for someone to take you away, but they probably wouldn’t have expected that you could come back to life. When you meet them, tell them that a mysterious person saved you after giving you a pill. After that, they asked Miss Fox to send you to meet them. As for who the mysterious person really is, tell them you don’t know. They will definitely associate the person who saved you with the person who saved them. Let them guess the rest for themselves.”“Okay, Young Master Wade!” Merlin said seriously, “I’ll take note of that.”Charlie nodded, opened the door, called Kathleen in, and said, “Miss Fox, please arrange a helicopter to take Chief Lammy to Ark Building in Manhattan. It’d be best for you to contact my uncle in advance first. Just tell them that you’d like to visit them. When I saved them that day, you were the one who led the people responsible for the aftermath at the scene, so they definitely will not be

A family trust was an extremely secure means of asset protection in Europe and the United States. There was a saying in Oskia that wealth does not last for three generations. The reason for this was that the fathers were the ones who made the fortunes whereas the children and grandchildren were the ones who lived extravagantly, squander their money, have low vision, and were incompetent in maintaining their businesses which could easily lead to family bankruptcy and overnight reversion to their original form.The reason for this was because the ability and character of the children and grandchildren were not within their control. Once there was a problem with their ability and character, it would be difficult to prevent the family from going into decline. What’s more, there were also various natural disasters in addition to man-made disasters.However, a family trust effectively eliminated the risk of natural and man-made disasters. Putting one’s own money into the trust meant

At this moment, the expressions on Kaeden, Christian, and Keith’s faces changed drastically!Kaeden blurted out, “You met Adrienne the second year after Ashley passed away... Adrienne has been staying hidden by your side for nineteen years until this accident... This group of people who wants to kill us should be inseparable from the person who killed Ashley back then!”Keith said in amazement, “In that case, they were not satisfied with simply killing Ashley and Curtis, and they have carefully planted a time bomb next to Jaxson to be detonated after nineteen years. What exactly are these people planning to do?! Why did they wait so long if they wanted to take out the entire Acker family?” “That’s right...” Christian was also puzzled and said, “They are so strong and powerful, so there is no need for them to wait until today to attack us if they truly have any deep hatred against us...”Keith said, “What I really don’t understand is how much hatred and grudge these people have aga

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
