The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 5488
Regardless of Caden’s average strength, after many years of practicing Taoism, Caden had accumulated an extraordinary demeanor. In addition, he was basically in a semi-individual state for many years as a Taoist. He was malnourished to a certain extent which made him look as skinny as firewood, and his constant training in martial arts made his skinny body look very strong, which gave people a sense of inscrutability. His long white beard gave him an even more aristocratic feeling. His temperament was exceptional in the metaphysical circle and even in the art circle.For example, everyone would think that one was somewhat boring if he did not even have a beard in the profession of a director, painter, or even a fortune teller. If one had a big beard, one would get a crowd of fans cheering even if he simply painted a few strokes on the canvas with a paintbrush.Caden, who had an extraordinary temperament, stepped in front of Charlie, bowed slightly, and said in a respectful tone, “M

When Caden saw that it was already eight o’clock, he excused himself from Charlie and Porter and then stepped in front of everyone, facing them.Caden reached out and touched his long beard before saying loudly, “Everyone, welcome to the first martial arts training conference hosted by Master Wade! I’m Caden Howton, the thirty-ninth leader of the Taoist Sect, and I’m fortunate to have received Master Wade’s appreciation, so I’m here to teach martial arts to all of you. In the upcoming period of time, I will impart what I’ve learned throughout my life to you without reservation, and I hope to be able to make progress together with you!”The students standing across from him applauded loudly as soon as he was done speaking. Caden waited for the applause to stop before he continued, “In this lecture, I will teach you all the contents of the first chapter of the Taoist Sect Hanbloom Method without reservation. As the Taoist Sect Hanbloom Method is a very detailed martial arts mental cu

Isaac reminded him, “Master Howton said that we should remember not to skip the level of practice when it comes to martial arts, but we should practice slowly and steadily. We are now learning a theoretical curse before learning to drive. We have to understand the theory first and then get into the car to practice. This is actually quite good as we will be learning step by step.”Albert chuckled and said, “I want to achieve a breakthrough in my strength as soon as possible. When the time comes, I will show my skills to my subordinates and let them know that I’m still young!”Charlie stepped forward and said with a smile, “It seems that Mr. Cameron has a better understanding than Albert.”When the two men noticed that Charlie was coming over, they quickly said respectfully, “Master Wade! Young Master!”Charlie nodded slightly at the two of them and said, “The journey to martial arts is a long one, so the initial foundation is particularly important. Albert, you must remember not to

The Ackers had long known that Lady Acker wanted to go to Aurous Hill. Moreover, her decision had already been approved by the whole family. After experiencing the crisis that almost wiped out their family, the Ackers had lost interest in career, money, and status, and they hoped to try their best to make up for the shortcomings in their lives in the future. The greatest regret for the Ackers was naturally Ashley’s death, and this was followed closely by Charlie’s whereabouts. Ashley’s death was irreparable, and the only thing that they could do to make amends now was to find Charlie. This was especially so as Lord Acker’s Alzheimer’s disease was becoming more and more serious. The Ackers did not want to find Charlie in the future when Lord Acker had completely forgotten Charlie. As the general person in charge of the Acker family’s internal affairs, Christian had arranged for his subordinates to buy the villas in Willow Manor in Aurous Hill in advance. At the same time, he h

Kaeden and Lulu nodded in agreement as well.Lady Acker said happily, “That’s good. From now on, as long as the Qing Eliminating Society is not destroyed, the only ones who can make the decision for all the major affairs of our family are me, Keith, and the four of you siblings. The descendants of the Ackers who are less than twenty-four years old are not allowed to interfere, nor can any outsiders be trusted completely.”Everyone nodded. Lady Acker’s actions were unanimously approved by everyone in this time of emergency. Lady Acker then said to Christian, “Christian, please contact Merlin and see what he’s doing now. If he has time, ask him to come to Aurous Hill with us. Aside from Nana, Merlin is the only outsider I trust at the moment. No one should be better at finding a person than him, so he will definitely be of great help to us if he can come with us.”Christian said immediately, “No problem. I will call Merlin later to see if he is available.”Lady Acker urged, “Don’t

He called Charlie immediately. It was already nighttime in Aurous Hill, and Charlie was watching television in the living room on the first floor with his family.When Charlie saw that it was a phone call from Merlin, he went out to the yard and answered the call.Merlin said over the other end of the line, “Mr. Wade, your uncle asked me to go to Aurous Hill with him and your grandparents. The purpose is to find clues about you. We will be leaving tonight. I already agreed to his request, so I wonder if you have any instructions for me?”Charlie was not surprised when he heard Merlin’s words. After all, when he went to Willow Manor with Caden a few days ago, he already knew that his grandmother’s family would be leaving for Aurous Hill soon.Therefore, he said to Merlin, “You can help them investigate as usual. I will handle all the clues in Aurous Hill, but you have to communicate with me in advance and let me know where you’re going to start.”Merlin said, “I guess we will just

Merlin packed some simple clothing and supplies in the afternoon in the United States and took off from Houston to New York in the Gulfstream business jet arranged by the Acker. Christian arranged a flight for Merlin from New York to Aurous Hill at night. After Merlin landed in New York, he could transfer directly to the Ackers’ passenger plane to Aurous Hill.Although only Keith, Holly, and Christian from the Ackers would be going to Aurous Hill this time, they were accompanied by many maids, assistants, servants, and nearly a hundred well-trained bodyguards. Therefore, Christian arranged for a private jet modified from a Boeing 748. This large wide-body passenger aircraft was divided into two levels. The upper level had a small living room with two rooms, and the lower level had more than a hundred standard business class seats as well as a resting room for shift crews.When Merlin landed in New York, the Ackers and their entourage had just completed boarding at the exclusive h

Lady Acker said, “Charlie is already twenty-eight this year. We might even have a grandson after finding him.”Keith was stunned, then nodded before he looked out the window blankly without saying another word. Merlin asked Lady Acker in a low voice, “Aunt Holly, did Uncle Keith’s condition get even more serious?”Lady Acker nodded and said, “His condition seems to be a little worse than it was before. I spend more than half the time when I’m awake explaining the situation to him over and over again, but he seems to forget all about it most of the time after turning around.”After saying that, Lady Acker added, “The reason why I’m in such a hurry to go to Aurous Hill is also because of this. I’m afraid that if I delay it any longer, Keith will not be able to remember him even if we meet Charlie.”Merlin sighed and thought to himself, ‘Sigh… Charlie has divine powers that can even save me, so it would definitely be easy for him to cure the old man’s Alzheimer’s disease. Even if he

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

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
