Chapter 5185

Author: Lord Leaf
The next morning, when Scarlet Pinnacle Manor was still shrouded in a thin layer of mist, Vera, who was not wearing any makeup, tied her long hair into a ponytail and put on an inconspicuous summer dress as she headed to Mount Qi alone.

Both Logan and Emmett had suggested that she bring bodyguards along with her to ensure her safety, but Vera had refused.

One’s environment shouldn’t affect one’s ability to find inner peace. For Vera, since she had decided to study in Aurous Hill, she should start living in this city with confidence and boldness from now on.

For a girl who traveled alone, even if she looked prettier than most, she would only attract attention but not suspicion.

However, once the girl was accompanied by bodyguards or secretly followed by bodyguards all the way, once it was seen by people with malicious intent, it would inevitably arouse the other party’s suspicion.

When the two saw her resolute attitude, they did not insist anymore.

After Vera went down the mountai

    Vera was proficient in the Book of Changes and the Eight Diagrams, and she also respected Buddhism and Taoism at the same time, so she was in awe of this ancient temple with a long history.When Vera arrived at the middle peak where Qi Temple was located, Claire and Elaine also happened to just arrive.In fact, the two had already parked the car, but Elaine had difficulty walking, so she climbed the stairs on crutches with Claire’s support and finally reached Qi Temple with much difficulty. As it was a working day, there were not many pilgrims and tourists who came to Qi Temple in the morning. Vera walked to the main hall, but she was not in a hurry to go in. Instead, she took out three incense sticks from her handbag and went outside the gate of the hall in front of the incense burner after igniting them.Vera held the three incense sticks to her forehead with both hands, bowed slightly, and said in a low voice, “To the ancestors of the Lavor family, your unfilial descendant, Ver

    Elaine, who was praying, was suddenly interrupted by her daughter, so she said with some dissatisfaction, “Oh, I was just asking Buddha to bless me, so why are you disturbing me? Seriously...”Claire lowered her voice and reminded her, “How can you talk to Buddha like this?! You can ask for money if you want to, and Buddha will naturally help you achieve your wishes if he really manifests them, but why are you talking about your issues with my eldest aunt here? You’re even asking Buddha to punish her?!”“That’s right!” Elaine said very seriously, “I just want Buddha to punish her well! There are more than eight billion people in this world, and anyone can get rich aside from Hannah Queen!”After saying that, Elaine then said solemnly, “It is said that the Jade Emperor is in charge of our area, so the fact that Hannah was able to get rich is a dereliction of his duty. If he doesn’t take the initiative to correct this, we have to ask Buddha to criticize him!”Claire rubbed her temple

    Claire said helplessly, “Mom, you should stop giving Charlie a hard time!”Claire’s words caused Vera, who had already walked to the door, to be startled. She muttered in her heart, ‘Charlie again? I’ve been in Aurous Hill for two days and I simply can’t get away from Charlie every day. Am I that close to him now? Which Charlie is the son-in-law of that vulgar woman just now, then? Could it also be Charlie from the Wade family from Eastcliff that I am looking for?’As Vera thought of this, she subconsciously looked back at Claire, and thought to herself, ‘This young woman seems to be about the same age as Charlie, whom I’m looking for. There are not many people named Charlie these days. Could it be that the Charlie I’m looking for is already married? Is his wife the woman in front of me?’‘I think she is about the same age as Charlie, and she has a pretty good appearance and temperament. She could also be considered to be one in a million, but her mother is really a joke...’‘It’

    Although Claire and Elaine’s information were not encrypted in any way, it was not an easy task for Emmett to find out the identities of the two through a candid photo.At the very least, it was still a little hard to do so within a short period of time.So, Emmett called Vera and reported over the phone, “Miss, do you have any other information on these two people? It will be relatively easier to investigate if you have other information.”Vera thought for a moment and said, “I don’t have much information here, but that young woman might be Charlie’s wife. However, Charlie’s information is encrypted, and we don’t know Charlie’s current identification number. Can you pull out all the information related to all women in Aurous Hill who are married to a man named Charlie Wade?”Emmett replied, “Since Charlie’s information is encrypted, even if we use Charlie as a starting point and pull out all the information related to women married to Charlie Wade, the person you’re looking for ma

    This way, it was basically consistent with the names, age ranges, and kinships of the people mentioned by Vera.After that, Emmett checked the file information of Elaine and Claire. He saw their identification photos and compared them with the photos sent by Vera. He immediately confirmed that these two people were the people Vera had asked him to investigate.When Vera returned to Scarlet Pinnacle Manor, he had already obtained all the information of these two people. When he saw Vera, he said respectfully, “Miss, you’ve come back at the right time. I’ve obtained the information of the two people you asked me to investigate.”Vera asked happily, “So soon? Quick, let me take a look!”Emmett handed his cell phone to Vera with both hands and said respectfully, “Miss, please take a look.”Vera glanced at Elaine’s photo. This photo had been taken when Elaine had changed her identification card a few years ago. Although she looked much younger in the photo, her facial features hadn’t

    Vera had found out all information about Charlie’s double identity through Claire and Elaine, which really made her feel extraordinarily excited.She felt that she seemed to be receiving heavenly help when she came to Aurous Hill this time, making everything go extremely smoothly for her.However, she did not intend to approach the mother-and-daughter duo, let alone Charlie.She felt that she had to stick to her plan yesterday and not take the initiative to contact Charlie until after school started and she became friends with Claudia. At this time, Charlie did not know that the young girl whom he had accidentally rescued in Northern Europe had already found out information about his two layers of identity.Isaac called Charlie at this moment and said respectfully over the phone, “Young Master, I’ve already confirmed it with Mr. Waldron. The old lady that you’re looking for has just returned to her natal home in Skywinger with her son some time ago. I’ve already gotten the specif

    “Okay, Young Master.” Isaac said without hesitation, “I’ll send it to your WhatsApp now.”Isaac sent the information file to Charlie after hanging up the phone.After Charlie looked at it, he found that the old lady’s background was very simple, but there also seemed to be something extraordinary about it.The old lady’s name was Fumiko Jenson. She was born in the mountainous area of southern Skywinger, and she grew up in the mountains of Skywinger since she was young. She did not marry far away but married a young man from the same village.There was a high probability that she rarely left the small mountain village in fifty years because she was a permanent resident of the family during every census, and it was clearly marked on the information that she cooperated with the census.In its heyday, there were only about forty households in the village with more than three hundred people, but there was a serious population loss, and there were only a dozen households with more than

    That night, after Claire came home, Charlie told her about the trip he was going to take with Isaac tomorrow.Since Isaac was the owner of Shangri-La, in the eyes of ordinary people, Claire thought that Charlie was going to help Isaac take a look at Feng Shui.Although she felt a little distressed that Charlie was going to look at Feng Shui right after returning to Oskia, she did not stop him since he claimed that he had already made an appointment with Isaac. Early the next morning, Charlie and Isaac flew to Granger Province, which was located in the southwest of Oskia. Since Charlie concluded from the old lady’s name that the old lady’s family background was not simple, he called Porter after the plane took off.When the phone was connected, Porter asked respectfully, “Mr. Wade, what are your orders for me?”Charlie said, “Porter, I need you to tell me the old lady’s state and performance in detail after we rescued the victims in Mexico that day.”Porter said, “Mr. Wade, aft

    Jacob asked, "Then, what would this sculpture be worth if it was genuine?"Mr. Cardensky thought about it. "Well, there are standards when it comes to Renaissance relics, but with something this exquisite, it'd definitely be auctionable for one or two million—and that's the conservative estimate.""How much would you sell it to me for?" Jacob then asked."Thirty percent of the market price," Mr. Cardensky quickly replied. "As I've said, the conservative estimate for this one is around one to two million, so we will set the price with the median estimate value at 1.5 million. And thirty percent means 450 grand."Jacob shook his head right away. "No, no, no… that's too expensive. What if I end up unable to sell it, on top of that?"In his mind, while he could barely accept that pricing, he still needed Raymond to be able to afford it if he wanted to swindle Raymond for twice the money.Mr. Cardensky quickly chuckled, "Oh, Mr. Montague—now you're being too serious. In this business,

    "Okay!"Mr. Cardensky smiled and pointed at a nearby farmyard. "There's our workshop—the good stuff is all in there. Allow me to take you there!"The farmyard seemed uninteresting at first glance, but Mr. Cardensky soon led them to the stables and brushed off the straws covering the floor, revealing a plank laid flat on the ground.Mr. Cardensky then lifted it, revealing a passage below—they had dug a cellar into the ground beneath, with the stables as an entry point.As Jacob followed Mr. Cardensky down the cellar, he exclaimed in awe, "Your operation is definitely big, digging such a huge cellar!"Mr. Cardensky smiled humbly. "Anyone working in the business would have sustained their losses before. In the end, we're all folk of humble origins, starting out with raiding tombs or excavating artifacts. Just digging a cellar is really nothing."As they conversed, they cleared the stairs and arrived at the main hall.It was certainly a hall as it was around a hundred square meters,

    Zachary nodded repeatedly. "Mr. Montague? Very well!""Yes!" Jacob grinned smugly. "Longer last names are simply better—it just sounds so authoritative."With that agreed upon, both men alighted, where the master was waiting nearby.Seeing them get off, he hurried over to them, smiling, "Please, follow me."Zachary looked around and huffed, "Honestly, Mr. Cardensky, isn't this way too far from the highway? The road is narrow and terrible, and I have to park my car all the way out here. Just coming here is taxing."Mr. Cardensky smiled in turn. "My friend, that's exactly why we picked this place. Do you remember seeing a couple of cars parked by the road, occupying half of it?""We arranged for them to be there. Anyone coming by car would have to slow down that way, buying time for us to see who they truly are. If it's cops, our watchers would quietly text us while we clean the house and bail."Zachary exclaimed in realization, "You boys really run a tight ship!""For sure," Mr.

    After working in Antique Street for years, Zachary's connections and influence were naturally special. And yet, though he was acquainted with some of the more impressive individuals, he was not that close with them either.For example, the forgery masters who worked specifically to deceive experts only accepted jobs from major clients, usually antique traders high in social status and wealth.In contrast, they wouldn't ever be interested in frivolous people like Zachary. Even if he could reach them, they might not look at him twice.If one would describe them as the cartel boss, then Zachary would be a low-level enforcer, managing night joints or goofing off.But now, Zachary had turned over a new leaf—he worked under Don Albert, so one of those masters was pleasantly surprised when he called one of them, inviting him to his own workshop for a visit and further discussion.As such, Zachary picked up Jacob and went over to the master's hideout where the latter worked on his count

    Zachary was naturally shrewd enough to read Jacob's intention.In reality, he wasn't offering to pay just because he wanted the profit. He merely wanted to get in Jacob's good graces. After all, wouldn't Jacob be even more grateful that he wasn't just helping his revenge but also helping him make money?As such, he didn't hesitate to tell Jacob, "Well, chief—since you'll be paying, I will make sure that you will get every cent of profit that you deserve."Jacob was grinning ear-to-ear, but he said, "Oh, you don't have to! If we really are making a profit, there's no way I would let your good work go unrewarded!"Spreading his arms, he continued generously, "How about this? I will pay the full cost while you get twenty percent of the net profit!"Zachary laughed. "Now, that can wait, chief. We need to pay as soon as we decide on the item we want, and there's no time for buyer's regret. But if Raymond doesn't take the bait, all that money will go down the drain, and whether we can s

    Zachary chuckled and continued, "Well, I went to Antique Street and asked around. Turns out our mutual friend only brought a few hundred thousand grand with him. If he messes up and loses all his money, won't it be over for him?""He won't just be broke either—he'd be humiliated and forced to fuck off from Antique Street. You'd get even then!"Jacob was at once excited.Just yesterday, Claire and Charlie were warning him that assault meant doing time.As the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association and the next presidential-hopeful, he would lose his place if he was charged with assault or being an accessory to a case.However, Zachary's plan was much better. Jacob wouldn't have to take responsibility, and the damage on Raymond would be even worse!In comparison, slapping Raymond meant nothing. Watching him go broke and get humiliated would really ease his heart!With that in mind, he promptly pressed Zachary, "Are you sure that prick will mess up?""I can't a

    Jacob Wilson was in his office at the Calligraphy and Painting Association, planning his itinerary in Dubai.Still, he was immediately thrilled when Zachary told him that there was progress, and he quickly said, "Come see me at the Calligraphy and Painting Association. We'll talk in my office!""Alright!" Zachary agreed to it happily. "Just wait, Mr. Wilson. I'll be right there!"Jacob then quickly told him, "By the way, remember to address me as the vice president when you're here. Got it?"Zachary was naturally sharp enough to understand why, especially around other members of the Calligraphy and Painting Association.Smiling, he said, "Don't worry, chief. You can always be at ease when I'm on the job!"Once he hung up, he drove to the Calligraphy and Painting Association at top speed.There were just a dozen people around the dozens of work cubicles although Zachary was curious about the personal effects or office tools in the cubicles.After asking around, a staff member le

    Then, Mick continued, "I won't lie—Moore Group's bean counters have been eager to get rid of Vintage Deluxe for a while now. It's only Miss Moore's insistence that keeps them at bay, even occasionally coming to check on how business is going. That means she holds sentiment for this place, but if she knows that Raymond is back and doing well, she might hire him again!"Zachary could laugh right then. After all, Mick was terrible at gathering information—he could worry about anyone taking his palace, but not Raymond. The man was fired because he had insulted Master Wade's father in-law, and Miss Moore was endlessly respectful—even obedient to Master Wade. There was no chance that she would hire Raymond back after what he had done, and Mick was just being paranoid.However, Zachary did not tell Mick that.As Mick was begging him to intervene and thus owing him big time, he would also be helping Jacob Wilson get even.Two birds with one stone, so why not?With that in mind, Zachar

    Zachary then said, "By the way, I have some friends who have a lot of stock. How much capital do you have, Mr. Cole? I'll check if they have stuff that suits you, and you can partner with them."When Zachary asked how much capital, he was basically asking Raymond how much he would invest in his own business and how much he could spend on taking new stock as he was buying.As such, Raymond replied modestly, "I've been chasing my tail for a while, so I didn't earn more than a few hundred thousand. I definitely would have no issue taking items with rebates, but I'm afraid I can't afford premiums.""Alright!" Zachary nodded, having discerned the scale of Zachary's capital."I'll check on what's available and see if we can get a few personal deals."Raymond nodded. "Thank you, Zachary!"Zachary smiled, shaking his head. "Mr. Crane, please buy another fruit basket for Mr. Cole—I'll pay you later."Mick quickly said, "Oh, you don't have to, Mr. Evans! It's my pleasure, no worries!"Zach
