Following the British Lord’s order, the Qing Eliminating Society entered an unprecedented period of dormancy. The five Military Governors of the five Military Governor Offices went into full hibernation immediately. Aside from the copper refinery in Turkey, all the other dead soldiers and Armed Calvary Guards were not allowed to step out of their bases. All members lurking around the world also temporarily terminated all contact with the upper line. From this moment on, only the three great earls of the Qing Eliminating Society were carrying out missions on behalf of the British Lord. Mr. Chardon was still looking for Vera’s whereabouts in Oskia and was preparing to set off to Aurous Hill to investigate clues on Charlie. Mr. Zorro was investigating the arms black market around the world to look for clues on the AK630 close-defense missiles, and Miss Dijo was filling in the gap for Mr. Chardon to look for Vera in the Far East. The day after Brody was shot, all members of the coppe

The condition for the British Lord to let them die willingly was for the British Lord to give their families freedom after their deaths. For these people, they would still die sooner or later without an antidote, so it would be better for them to die and give their families a chance rather than to die just like this. In fact, these people were different from the Armed Calvary Guards and the dead soldiers. They were Ezra’s confidants. When Ezra brought them here to take office, none of their family members came with them, nor could they come with them. They shouldered the attribute of self-destruction from the moment they took office. They would have to be the executors of self-destruction once there was a need for this place to be destroyed. The reason why the British Lord arranged this was so that they could complete self-destruction in the shortest time and cut off all risks completely once a major problem occurred in a certain dead soldiers’ base. Their families were the k

The weather in Aurous Hill in mid-August was extremely hot. Charlie had been busy urging Albert to renovate Champs Elys Resort over the past two days. He did not bother or ask about the matters related to the Qing Eliminating Society and the Middle East anymore. Charlie did not have time to talk to Caden at all over the past two days either. However, Caden was very proactive and called his chief disciple to come over all the way from the United States. He planned to pass on the position as head of the Taoist Sect in front of Charlie and draw a clear line with the Taoist Sect so that he could pledge his allegiance to Charlie wholeheartedly. Caden was waiting anxiously at the exit of Aurous Airport at the moment. The flight that he was waiting for was already half an hour late.Just as Caden was feeling impatient, the big screen at the airport finally updated the flight information, and the flight Caden had been waiting for finally arrived.After waiting for another half an hour,

The normal process would be for the current head and successor to return to the Taoist Sect dojo together and then hold a grand ceremony in front of the disciples of the Taoist Sect to pay respect to the ancestors of the Taoist Sect. After this set of procedures, the new head would succeed the position successfully in the presence of all the other disciples and ancestors. However, Caden only wanted to please Charlie now, so he would be absolutely unwilling to return to the United States to pass the position as the leader onto his successor. What’s more, he had his own thought in mind, which was to let Charlie witness him handing over the position as the leader of the Taoist Sect to Sonia. This was the only way for him to ensure that Charlie would not have any doubts about him.This was also the reason why he had asked Sonia to come all the way from the United States.Although Sonia did not know what her master was up to, she naturally did not ask any more questions out of respect

Charlie had intentions to use Caden. Although Caden was not very strong, he had practiced and mastered the first chapter of the Taoist Sect Hanbloom Method. In addition, Caden had been practicing this chapter for so many years, so Charlie was certain that his understanding of the introduction of the Taoist Sect Hanbloom Method must have surpassed his own.Sometimes, the strongest person might not necessarily be suitable to be the teacher. Even if a top student with a Ph.D. was asked to teach the first grade of elementary school, he might not know how to make the first grade students understand what he was teaching them.However, a teacher who has taught elementary school students for decades must have rich experience and a variety of unique insights and methods. Therefore, he would be able to use the fastest speed to help these elementary school students quickly understand what he was teaching and what the main educational points were. In Charlie’s opinion, Caden was this kind of e

Charlie smiled faintly and said, “Okay, let’s go up. I can witness the ceremony where you will pass on the position as the leader of the Taoist Sect to your successor, then.”Caden nodded repeatedly and said apologetically, “The ceremony for a small sect like ours is nothing great. Master Wade, I hope that you will not find it too shabby after witnessing it.”Charlie said indifferently, “That will not happen. The simpler, the better. If the sense of ritual is too strong, the original meaning behind the ceremony will be lost.”Caden nodded and then bowed as he said, “Master Wade, you’re right. There’s no need to make this kind of thing too grand.”After saying that, he hesitated for a moment before he said to Charlie, “Master Wade, can I ask for a favor from you?”Charlie nodded and said, “Speak up.”Caden said awkwardly, “Master Wade, the succession as the leader of the Taoist Sect includes the leader’s token, the last two paragraphs of the Taoist Sect Hanbloom Method, and the me

Caden knew that Charlie intended to tease him, but he did not dare to show any disobedience or feel any dissatisfaction. He could only bite the bullet, laugh, and smile as he said, “Thank you, Master Wade… Thank you, Master Wade…”For him, it was simply a disaster to regress to the level of a four-star martial artist. It was already a great honor now that Charlie was willing to restore him to the level of a six-star martial artist. He should not be too hasty and could only wait to express himself and show Charlie his good performance so that he could aim for an early recovery of his cultivation.Charlie had previously used Reiki to seal Caden’s four meridians. It was a piece of cake for Charlie, but it was absolutely impossible for Caden to break through this kind of seal. Therefore, Charlie simply waved his hand slightly and easily reopened two of Caden’s blocked meridians.Caden instantly felt the smoothness of his meridians and heaved a sigh of relief. He then bowed respectfully

Therefore, she said to Caden, “Master, I see that Mr. Wade is about the same age as me. Young people like us don’t need to be so old-fashioned…”Caden could not help but say with some trepidation, “Sonia, you should not neglect Master Wade!”Sonia was also a little indignant and said, “Master, it is your freedom to refer to others as ‘master’ as you wish, but the same goes for me.”Caden could not help but reprimand her, “Sonia, don’t be rude!”Charlie smiled and said, “Master Howden, Miss Letterman is right. This kind of thing should be voluntary. What is the use if you force her?”Caden sneered and hurriedly said, “You’re right, Master Wade. Sonia can just refer to you as Mr. Wade as she wishes, then.”Sonia, who was aside, was surprised and somewhat dissatisfied when she saw that her master was lowering himself and being so humble in front of Charlie.In her opinion, her master had always been very dignified, and she always felt that the leader of the Taoist Sect needed to ha

Soon, more collectors had gathered outside Treasure Measure even before Raymond showed up at Antique Street, with over ten of them gathered outside in no time at all.Since Raymond had only prepared ten slips, the rest left in disappointment seeing that they had no chance.Even so, the ten collectors who had gotten a number were nervous—save for the first man who had arrived.The details on the online sales post insisted that the price was fixed, and that first-come first-serve applies.If he bought the bronze sculpture, the other nine would have come all this way for nothing.However, if the seller decided to make it an auction, they would have a chance too, although their net profit would thin in turn. After all, they could have acquired the bronze sculpture for just 20 million, and that meant a solid 8 million in profit.An auction would at least raise the price to 27 million, and more would make it chicken feed.If they gave up at that point, it was a waste of a trip.If

Trippy naturally wasn't going to tell Mick everything word-for-word, so he said vaguely, "Uh, they were just being stubborn and refused to listen to anything I said. They kept saying that they wouldn't know until they saw the actual item."Mick got out of bed, staring at his phone as he mused to himself.This was getting a little ridiculous, was it not? A fool who was scammed, actually able to scam someone else? But if he really could sell it, wouldn't all their work be for nothing?With that in mind, he promptly called Zachary, who wasn't even up yet.Ever since he had started working for Don Albert, his daily routine was no longer the same as the days when he was a humble stall owner working on Antique Street, but a man of importance who slept late and woke up late.In the evening, he would be spending his time patrolling Don Albert's night entertainment properties as well as holding meetings with subordinates to decide on management policies and the like. That was why he wo

Seeing that Mick had a favor to ask, Trippy was naturally eager to seize the opportunity to get in his good graces."Don't worry, Mr. Crane!" He promptly replied. "Just leave it to me!"Returning to Treasure Measure, he went up to the first man who had come and said, "Hey, brother… Did you come to buy the bronze sculpture from Mr. Cole?"The man asked warily, "You know about the bronze sculpture?""Of course!" Trippy grinned. "I know all too well—it's actually famous here in Aurous Hill."Whipping out his phone, he played the short video that Mick had spent five grand promoting, saying, "Here—check this out!"Curious, the man took the phone and watched the video solemnly.The other latecomer soon hurried over as well and stared fixedly at the screen too.They watched as Bill entered a room with the bronze sculpture with Mick, the latter who checked it out and started commenting on it.The first man exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, it really is that bronze sculpture."The second ma

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
