Lord Acker’s sudden roar caused the expression on the three brothers’ faces to darken.Although everyone had gradually arrived at this conclusion, everyone still felt a chill run down their backs when the old man said it out loud.Kaeden said with a puzzled expression, “I don’t understand... What kind of hatred or grudge do these people have against us? Why do they have to keep watch over us for twenty years?”Jaxson was puzzled as he said, “The Acker family did not do anything to harm anyone over the years in our accumulation of assets! Over the years, most of our assets come from the Angel investment back then, especially from my sister, who basically supported half of Silicon Valley on her own. Who would have this kind of blood feud with us?”Christian said with a cold expression, “Perhaps they want to get something from us.”Jaxson asked him, “Christian, what do you mean? Could it be that they want our money?”“I can’t tell.” Christian said, “I just think that the other party

Christian hurriedly used his cell phone to search for some photos of Kathleen from the internet and handed it over to Lord Acker. After looking at it several times, Lord Acker returned the cell phone to Christian, but he was suddenly startled as a figure flashed through his mind, and he could not help but ask, “By the way, Christian, was Miss Fox the one who took Merlin away?”Christian asked in surprise, “Dad, do you remember Merlin?”Lord Acker said in a daze, “An image just flashed through my mind just now as if I remembered that our benefactor said that Merlin was dead...”Having said that, he hurriedly asked, “Christian, did our benefactor say that he would get someone to take Merlin’s body away for a proper burial?”Christian was shocked that his father could still remember some fragments of that day and mourned, “Our benefactor did say that at the time. I reckon he must have left this matter to Miss Fox.”Lord Acker’s eyes turned red, and he said with a little self-reproa

Kathleen did not expect the old man to remember her, so she quickly said respectfully, “Lord Acker, how are you doing lately?”Lord Acker nodded and said to Kathleen, “I’ve been fine lately thanks to you, Miss Fox.”Kathleen hurriedly said, “Please don’t say that, Lord Acker! How can I afford it when I’m your junior!”Christian, who was aside, also nodded politely at Kathleen and said, “Hello, Miss Fox!”Kathleen responded respectfully in turn, “Hello, Mr. Christian!”Christian asked with concern, “Miss Fox, I would like to ask, where is my good buddy, Merlin, buried now? Please give me the address if it’s convenient. I’d like to go and pay my respect to him.”Before Kathleen could speak up, Merlin, who was wearing a mask and a pair of sunglasses, suddenly said, “Christian, your good buddy is not dead yet!” When Merlin said this, Christian and Keith who were beside him were dumbfounded!Both of them could hear and tell that it was Merlin’s voice. However, neither one of them

Keith and Christian quickly invited them into Ark Building. They then took the elevator from the roof to the top floor. Once they got out of the elevator, Keith brought Merlin into the conference room directly. All the Acker family members, both young and old, were waiting in the conference room. According to Lord Acker’s intention, they were planning to thank Kathleen in person.Keith pushed the conference room door open, and all the Acker family members stood up one after the other. However, what they did not expect was that it would be Merlin, who had a close friendship with the Acker family, instead of Kathleen who would come in behind him!The moment they saw Merlin, the Acker family members were instantly shocked.Everyone could not believe their eyes. This was because they firmly believed that Merlin was dead since he had been implicated by the Acker family.Therefore, now that Merlin was suddenly appearing in front of them, the Acker family members seemed to have lost t

When Kathleen heard that Lady Acker wanted to see Charlie, she hurriedly said, “I’m sorry, Lady Acker. Your benefactor’s whereabouts are uncertain. He simply gave me the pill this time and left after telling me he had a lot of other important things to do.”Strictly speaking, Kathleen was not lying.This was because Charlie’s whereabouts were indeed uncertain, especially during this recent period of time when he had traveled from Canada to the United States, Hong Kong, and then to Mexico. Kathleen also did not know his specific plan.Moreover, it was indeed true that Charlie had left the Fox family’s freezing center. He had rushed back to Shangri-La to prepare for the arrival of the Ito family and Yashita.When Lady Acker heard Kathleen saying that their benefactor had already left, she was very disappointed and said, “Our benefactor saved our family that day, and he has saved Merlin now. We can never repay him for his great kindness even in a few lifetimes, yet he is not even gi

If he wanted to save Merlin, he would inevitably expose some clues in front of his grandparents’ family, and it was his own choice to save Merlin from the beginning. Now, he had actually obtained the core medicinal herb to refine the Regenerating Pill in Mexico by chance, so naturally, Charlie had decided to save Merlin too.As for the clues that had been exposed, Charlie did not care too much about that.After all, they were his grandparents, not his enemies. What’s more, the clues that were exposed so far would only allow them to get one more piece of the puzzle, and at present, they were still far from finding out the truth if they wanted to find out his identity. Christian’s speculation resonated with the entire Acker family. Kaeden could not hide his excitement and said, “Christian, if that’s the case, it seems as though our benefactor has a lot of connections with us! Our benefactor should also know of how you were kicked out of the auction for the Rejuvenating Pill in Auro
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 4858
The Acker family knew that Lord Acker actually also wanted to know who this benefactor with such great strength really was.Nevertheless, since he had already said so, they naturally did not dare to overstep their bounds.Therefore, Christian took the lead and said, “Don’t worry, Dad. We will definitely keep your request in mind, and we will never cross this line.”Kaeden also nodded and said, “Dad, Christian is right. We will definitely never cross this line.”Merlin, who was aside, could not help but feel a little disappointed.He had promised Charlie that he would never reveal Charlie’s identity.However, he hoped that the Acker family would be able to acknowledge and get reacquainted with Charlie as soon as possible from the bottom of his heart. That was the reason why he had taken the initiative to mention the Rejuvenating Pill in front of Christian earlier, all to remind the latter that these clues should be connected and considered so that he could surely find out some i

Merlin said awkwardly, “Aunt, to be honest, I haven’t figured out how I’m going to go back and explain to my wife and daughter why I ended up disappearing after my daughter sent me a text message to tell me that she was pregnant...”Having said that, he also wanted to distract Lady Acker’s attention, so he asked Christian, “Christian, my wife should have looked for you, right? What did you tell her?”Christian sneered twice and said, “What else could I say? I could only tell her that I was not sure either. Our benefactor specially instructed me not to tell your wife that you were dead but to tell her that you were missing or had eloped with another woman, but how could I have said that to her?”Merlin sighed and said, “I’ll also have to think about how I’m going to explain things to them when I go back. The two of them will probably always have some doubts if there is no relatively perfect explanation for this matter...”Christian thought for a moment and said, “Perhaps you can say

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

Mick inspected every video to see who was getting the most views, and he then paid out of his own pocket to use paid advertising to get the video viral.It cost five thousand and it hurt, but reaching the trending page was definitely worth it.Mick was quite shrewd too, making sure that the paid advertising was focused locally. After all, he knew all too well that five thousand didn't buy many clicks, and clicks from elsewhere might be too sporadic to gain any worthwhile attention.As he worked in Antique Street, he naturally had to come up with a plan to promote himself in this place, ideally presenting himself as a master appraiser.That way, his fame would slowly extend throughout the province and perhaps Eastern Oskia, and eventually the country.As such, focusing on Aurous Hill was the best idea.Moreover, he also had another idea—if Jasmine Moore happened to see this video, she would see him in a new light.When that happened, he could look forward to getting really rich!
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6478
Soon, the video of Mick's staged act was uploaded to the online group, and everyone eagerly watched it as soon as it was done uploading.Mick certainly set a new bar with his acting as none of them could see that it was an act.Moreover, everyone could see that the bronze sculpture looked like the real deal, and they might have been swindled if it were them.As such, they couldn't help being impressed as Mick had easily seen through Billy's con, and he was the definition of a pro in that video.No matter how Billy had packaged it, there was no tricking real experts like Mick Crane. Just a quick glance and he had seen through that it was a postmodern replica, matched with a base from the Renaissance era to misdirect and beguile.With that, many fellow antique dealers changed their opinion of Mick.After all, Vintage Deluxe's business had been declining after Mick took over as manager, and people were presuming that his skills were lacking.But now, they were all shown that he had

"Amazing, Mr. Crane!""It's Mr. Crane who shines through, in the end! His eyes see through everything!""I guess Miss Moore made the right choice firing Raymond and appointing Mr. Crane! Mr. Crane is infinitely better!"Mick was immediately thrilled to see them fawning over him, and he laughed, "You flatter me—I'm merely sharing my personal perspective on this. In this trade, anyone who knows would understand how hard it is to get the good stuff in this age of technology.""There are plenty of people who hold ulterior motives and change their tactics knowing that there are always those scheming to get their hands on vintage treasures, so they just have to make it. That is how they started making counterfeits of everything, from scrolls to sculptures to statues, each of them so real just to trick those fools who think they could get rich overnight!""Exactly!" Someone promptly agreed. "There's never a lack of any such fools, and I just happened to meet one. I had this piece of jade

In groups like these, any gossip would immediately spread like wildfire as people share everything here with their other circles.Within minutes of these people's good work, Antique Street was abuzz even as the skies darkened: one of the antique traders had been swindled for 300 thousand, and it was Raymond Cole—the former manager of the Vintage Deluxe at that!Some of them wondered when Raymond had actually returned while others were laughing.He was supposed to be the former manager of the Vintage Deluxe, but he had messed up as well? You had to be kidding!Many were dumbstruck too—how would Raymond survive in Antique Street after losing so much money? It had been so long since such a major scam had been pulled!As such, all the antique dealers were asking one question: how did Raymond Cole get fooled?Meanwhile, Mick didn't leak the security footage right away, instead sending his people out to spread the news in other channels, claiming that Raymond thought he had won big by
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6475
Mick had already clipped the security footage and was waiting for Zachary's word.He had checked the footage repeatedly as well and was only getting more impressed with his masterful acting by the second. He looked just like a maestro, and every detail he mentioned was flawless and showed experience.Zacahry even said that Raymond had truly slipped up with that bronze sculpture, leaving him endlessly thrilled.The proverbial missing piece of the puzzle was here!Hence, calling all the staff he trusted, he told them excitedly, "Spread the word right away—Raymond Cole slipped up, spending 300 thousand on a fake Renaissance-era bronze sculpture!"His staff had no idea of the conspiracy involved, only that Mick had said that someone had tried to sell a counterfeit bronze sculpture but he had seen through it right away and chased him away, only for Raymond to end up buying the fake bronze sculpture soon after.Someone asked, "Mr. Crane, don't you think Raymond Cole bought from the man
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6474
Raymond had said everything he should and shouldn't and with complete sincerity exactly because Billy would never believe it.As Billy just wanted to swindle him, it didn't matter how sincere Raymond was—he wanted the 300 thousand whatever it took. The key here was that Billy had refused a better prospect when told it was possible, and there was evidence that would support Raymond if either he or Zachary realized the truth and came to start trouble.That meant Raymond had nothing to worry about—they could take this to the United Nations but he'd still win this case.Having been in the antique trade for so long, he had seen every form of oddity and was always cautious with people, considering every aspect of any issue.Hence, once he downloaded the security footage to his phone, Raymond decided that he needed to sell the bronze sculpture—not because he was in urgent need of money, but because he realized that there were those who wanted him out of Aurous Hill's Antique Street.Afte
