The guys in the crowd looked at each other silently, then they simultaneously looked at Jordan, the head of the Weaver family.Everyone knew that Jordan had been a womanizer when he was young. Back in the days, he had even eaten a poisonous remedy made out of billies just for the sole purpose of sleeping around with women that put his life on the verge of death when he was only sixty years old. So, he was the man who slept with the most women among them all.Jordan started to grin triumphantly when he noticed everyone’s gaze falling upon him. He stood upright and said, “Master Wade, for your information, I was quite charming when I was young, so I did have plenty of admirers back in the days. I guess I slept with about three to five hundred women!”Charlie nodded reluctantly and said to Kenneth as he pointed at Jordan, “Okay, he’s your man.”Kenneth grimaced slightly.Did Charlie really ask him to drink the old coot’s urine? That was too f*cking disgusting!However, Charlie did
Charlie’s remark made Kenneth dizzy and at a loss. After a while, he finally comprehended Charlie’s words.Since the urine was the primer, it was used to enhance the efficacy of the medicine, so of course, he had to drink the urine first.But, one liter of urine… Kenneth collapsed into the slumber of concern again.On the contrary, Charlie smiled cheerfully and said, “You can’t delay this any longer. If your penis is completely rotten, don’t blame me for not saving you.”Kenneth shuddered at the imagination and blurted, “Okay! I’ll follow your instructions!”Charlie nodded and said to Jordan, “Mr. Weaver, please have a drink of water first, then get someone to boil the medicine.”Jordan bowed respectfully and said, “Okay, Master Wade, I’ll drink the water now…”Kenneth heaved a long sigh, resigning to his fate. To him, healing his penis was more important than anything else.On the other hand, Charlie was extremely delighted.The urine and the most bitter medicine were not n
The scumbag’s situation was comparable to that of the rich kid infamously known for eating shit who was all over the Internet…Kenneth drank the urine in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and urged hurriedly, “Where’s the medicine? Quick! Give it to me now!”Charlie took the bowl of thick black medicinal soup from the servant and secretly sprinkled a little bit of the magical elixir’s scraps into the soup.Then, he handed the soup to Kenneth and said with a smile, “Here, Mr. Wilson!”The strong urine smell was lingering in Kenneth’s mouth that he needed something to ease the awfulness, so he quickly took a big sip of the soup when he got it.The bitterness almost knocked him out after the big sip.He had never tasted anything so damn bitter in his life. It was like a tonne of licorice slices melted into this bowl of medicinal soup.Besides, not only was the medicine bitter, but it also burned badly!As soon as his tongue touched the soup, it went numb, followed by the whole mouth. As
After so many sufferings and misery, Kenneth wanted to go home so badly.Besides, he knew that there was no one who could help him regain his manhood in Aurous Hill, so he wanted to try his luck at Eastcliff.He also had an important function to attend to—his mother’s 84th birthday. As her eldest son, he must go back to celebrate her birthday.His mother had requested that he invite Anthony to the birthday banquet, but from the looks of it, it seemed that Anthony still hadn’t forgiven him. Despite that, he cleared his throat and asked, “Uncle Simmons, my mother’s birthday is just around the corner. I would like to invite you to join our celebration.”Anthony said emotionlessly, “Mr. Wilson, I’ve told you, I have nothing to do with your family anymore so don’t waste your time persuading me to attend the birthday banquet.”Kenneth sighed and nodded dejectedly. Although he wanted to jump on the old man and beat the crap out of him, he still said humbly, “Okay, Uncle Simmons. Since yo
What Jordan really meant was, “You, Charlie Wade, are nothing but an outsider. Please stay away from the Weaver family’s affairs!”Liam felt as if he had fallen from the sky to hell when he heard his heartless father’s remark.He realized that he had been tricked—very miserably too!His father had never wanted to give him the chance at all!Even if he surrendered his mother’s precious snow ginseng to plead Charlie to save his family, his father would never want to elect him as the company’s chairman.Charlie frowned in dismay and asked coldly, “Oh? Are you planning to break your promise?”Jordan quickly explained, “Oh no, Master Wade, that’s a misunderstanding. There’s something that you aren’t aware of. Well, the other day, I told both my sons that whoever could solve this problem for our family will have a bigger chance to be the chairman. Of course, I’ll give Liam credit for what he did for the family today, so when it comes to the election for the chairman position, he’ll hav
Charlie wasn’t very surprised when Jordan went back on his words. In fact, he had expected it.When there was more than one child in the family, it was only normal that parents found it difficult to treat each offspring fairly and equally.Lady Wilson was the best example. She didn’t like Claire very much because she disobeyed her by being together with Charlie, so she favored the obedient Wendy more.Jordan had never ever regarded Liam as his own son. He only raised Liam as a servant in the Weaver family, so how could he possibly hand over the family business to him?Charlie glared at Jordan and asked again, “I’ll give you one last chance to settle the chairman position issue. Think about it carefully before you speak.”Jordan sneered, “I don’t have to think, I’ll tell you one more time, I’ll never let Liam be the chairman! To tell you the truth, I’ve never thought about electing him as the chairman. Even if he saved the Weaver family today, to me, he is nothing but an illegitima
Immediately afterward, the notifications of incoming messages buzzed on Jeffrey’s phone like a swarm of busy bees!He was a member of a chat message group whose members consisted of several people with good relationships with the Weaver family. They were becoming frantic at this moment!“Jeff, how did you end up on Don Albert’s bad side? He is offering a reward of a hundred million dollars for a hit list on you and your dad! It will take effect at midnight!”Jeffrey’s face darkened. He was shocked and scared.Before he could reply, another message popped up in the group.“F*ck, Zeke White is adding another hundred million bonus on the hit list!”“D*mn, Graham Quinton too! The reward has now increased to three hundred million!”“Oh my god! The Moore family is in it too! They add two hundred million, which makes the rewards five hundred million dollars now! D*mn!”Blood drained from Jeffrey’s face and cold sweat drenched his face and body. He dropped the phone and the screen brok
Jordan wailed in utter desperation upon hearing Charlie’s order!He found Mount Golmin, the treacherous mountain, and its icy cold weather very repulsive!He would not even have stepped foot into that cold place had it not been for the fact that he had to collect the medicine himself at the beginning of his business.Because of his repulsion towards the bitter cold place, he was equally disgusted by Liam’s mother and only treated her as a temporary escort.However, he never dreamed that, many decades later, Charlie would punish him by making him stay at Mount Golmin without ever being able to leave the place!That’s the place that he hated the most! It would be like taking his own life if he locked him there and never be allowed to leave!He was certain that he would die anytime soon due to his deteriorating health, but if he went to a place like Mount Golmin, he would die faster!Besides, the place was like a living hell for a pleasure-seeking old coot like him!He looked at C
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
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
