Charlie nodded and said, “That’s good. I was not in Aurous Hill during this period of time, but I probably will not be going anywhere soon. Please feel free to contact me if you need help with anything in Aurous Hill.”“Okay!” Helen was not overly polite and agreed with a smile. She then invited Charlie into the house.Charlie could not help but feel nostalgic as he entered the house.When his parents had rented this mansion back then, they had also restored it carefully, and it looked the same as it was now. Although it still looked very rustic, it gave people a refreshing feeling.After twenty years of idleness, this mansion was once dilapidated, but after Helen’s careful restoration, it seemed as if everything had been restored to the state it was in twenty years ago. For a certain moment, Charlie even felt as if he had gone back to the time when he was just seven or eight years old when his parents had just settled down in Aurous Hill. The family of three had lived an ordinar

Jaime said, “In the second month of departure, I began to treat this pilgrimage sincerely, so I dismissed the entourage that Mr. Wade gave special permission for me to bring along, and I intended to make it to the end by myself...”“I fell ill after being exposed to the rain, so I stayed overnight at a farmhouse. After all, many pilgrims would stay there along the way, so I didn’t think that there was anything wrong with it...”“As a result, the couple tried to sell me to the owner of a black coal mine when I was unconscious with a high fever.”“I heard them saying that an adult with all four limbs could be sold for twenty thousand dollars, and a normal coal mine worker would cost at least three to four thousand dollars a month. As long as the owner of the black coal mine bought someone, he would be able to recover his capital in more than half a year if he worked the person hard, and the rest would be pure profit.”“At the time, the owner of the black coal mine had already driven

Ever since Charlie had confirmed that the Schulz family had nothing to do with the death of his parents, he had never thought of taking the life of anyone from the Schulz family. He could even spare Sheldon’s life, not to mention Jaime.He had also asked people to secretly protect Jaime on Helen and Sophie’s account. The pilgrimage to Jordan Temple was not the same as Dylan cycling on a bicycle to Aurous Hill. The latter had a bicycle, and he would also be passing through the most economically developed areas in Oskia. As long as he did not pedal blindly on the highway, there would basically be no danger to Dylan’s life. However, it was different for Jaime. The environment all the way to the west would get worse and worse, and there would be danger everywhere if he was not careful. Charlie would not be able to explain things to Helen and Sophie if Jaime died on the way if he did not secretly protect Jaime.Jaime also knew that Charlie had not asked people to protect him because he

If Jaime could not pass this test, even if he could regain his freedom from today onward, he would not be allowed to lay his hands on the Schulz family’s assets. This was because Charlie wanted to find an absolutely trustworthy and loyal subordinate for Sophie, so there could not be any hidden dangers buried within this candidate. If Jaime had the slightest idea of giving up on this pilgrimage, Charlie would exclude him immediately. Helen and Sophie did not know Charlie’s real intentions. They could not hide their excitement when they heard that Charlie was willing to be lenient and give Jaime a chance. They hoped that Jaime could take advantage of the situation and agree.However, Jaime hesitated for a moment and then said, “Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Wade, but I still want to finish this pilgrimage.”Charlie had an indifferent expression as he said, “Think about it carefully. The road ahead will be even more difficult in the future. You will enter the mountains, the plate

“Test?” Jaime looked at his mother with some doubt and asked in confusion, “Mom, what do you mean by that?”Helen said seriously, “It seems that Charlie’s main purpose in coming today should be to ask you that question, to see if you would take the opportunity to end the pilgrimage.”Jaime asked her, “What is Mr. Wade testing me for? Is he testing my sincerity?”“Pretty much!” Helen nodded slightly and explained, “Charlie’s style of behavior is very similar to his father's. Although I don’t know Charlie well, I know Curtis. What makes Curtis different from most leaders is his first prerequisite for employing people is not based on the person’s ability or background but on the person’s character.”After a pause, Helen added, “In his eyes, no matter how strong a person’s ability is, as long as that person’s character is not good, he will not make deep friendships with him, let alone put him in his career blueprint.”“But many people don’t care about this now, and many bosses themsel

Three o’clock in the afternoon.A direct flight to Hong Kong took off at Aurous Airport. Marianne, who was deep in thought, was sitting on the plane, looking out of the window at Aurous Hill which was getting farther and farther. She could not help but think of the details of her acquaintance with Charlie in Hong Kong.Although she felt inferior when she happened to see Charlie and Nanako walking together today, it did not affect her deep love for Charlie in the slightest. All she could think of was for time to pass faster in the future. She could not wait for the day when classes would start at Aurous University. She even decided to call Charlie after school had started to tell him that she had come to Aurous Hill on a business trip and then tell him that she had already been employed at Aurous University when they met up. Marianne was also prepared for the worst. She did not care even if Charlie was not happy after knowing it and wanted her to leave Aurous Hill. This was her

After all, the old man had traveled thousands of miles to come all the way, so the two of them attached great importance to it. Therefore, they had come to the airport half an hour in advance to wait to receive him.As the plane slowly slid into the hangar, Yashita’s hands were trembling out of nervousness. This was mainly because she was unsure as to whether Cadfan, who had a strong temper and was arrogant, would approve of her as his future daughter-in-law.She wondered what to do if Cadfan was dissatisfied with her and pointed at her to scold her for not being worthy of his son as soon as he came down.Sheldon noticed Yashita’s nervousness, so he whispered in her ear, “Don’t worry. My father did not express any dissatisfaction when I called to tell him about this matter.” Yashita said apprehensively, “I know Lord Schulz’s character very well. He likes to hide his emotions and is fond of very sudden outbursts, so I’m afraid that he is just holding back his anger.”“It won’t be

Cadfan, who had been a landlord in Madagascar for a period of time, had no idea what Yashita had gone through during this time.He only remembered that Yashita had had an arm amputated in order to save his son, and the shoulder-length wound cut off her entire right arm almost completely. However, Yashita, who was in front of him, was wearing a long short-sleeved dress, and her two arms looked intact and flexible. Cadfan was also an experienced person who had seen the world, and he knew very well that it would be impossible for even the best prosthetic limb to be so realistic and flexible. When Yashita saw his surprised expression, she was about to explain it to him when Sheldon, who was aside, quickly said, “Dad, it’s a long story. Let’s talk about it in the car!” Cadfan knew that there must be something hidden about this matter, so he nodded and got into the car first. Yashita immediately got into the passenger seat while Sheldon drove the car himself.After the car started,

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
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6480
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!
