Merlin exclaimed in awe when he heard Lady Acker’s words, “Aunt Holly, that is a great idea!”After saying that, he immediately took out his cell phone, turned on the video recording function, and said, “We will take turns recording Uncle Keith. Christian, please arrange for someone to buy a few action cameras that can be worn on a person to record non-stop. When Uncle Keith rests in the evening, you can ask people to import all the materials into the computer so we can review the videos together in the morning tomorrow!”Christian was very excited as well and said without hesitation, “Okay! I’ll make the arrangements now!”Lady Acker added, “I think the environment here is indeed very good. Keith, let’s have some breakfast quickly, and I’ll take you out to the lake for a walk after that. Perhaps there will be better results!”When Merline heard this, he hurriedly said, “Aunt Holly, I have a different opinion on this point. I think you and Uncle Keith should stay in this villa inst

Lady Acker hurriedly said, “I planned to go to the place where Ashley used to live today. I had someone investigate before, and it seems that the old mansion has been bought by Sheldon Schulz’s ex-wife.”Christian frowned and asked, “Sheldon Schulz’s ex-wife?”“Yes.” Lady Acker nodded slightly. Christian looked surprised as he asked, “Why did Sheldon Schulz’s ex-wife buy the place where my sister and brother-in-law used to live?”Lady Acker sighed softly and said, “I asked someone to investigate, and it seems that Sheldon Schulz’s ex-wife was your brother-in-law’s suitor back then. She hasn’t forgotten your brother-in-law even after so many years. Some time ago, she infuriated the Schulzs because of the auction for the old mansion, and the Schulzs basically kicked her out. The matter caused a pretty huge sensation, and we heard about it in the United States as well.”Christian nodded and said, “Yes. I don’t know the specific details, but I only know that the scandal of Lord Schul

Merlin would never betray Charlie because Charlie was the one who saved his life. In addition, Merlin felt that it was not the right time for Charlie to be reunited with the Ackers. Therefore, he could only play along and come up with a fake plan as long as it did not allow the Ackers to ultimately discover clues about Charlie. His mission would be completed, then.Christian suddenly said again, “By the way, Merlin, have you ever thought about investigating the benefactor who saved your life?”Merlin was startled and said, “The whereabouts of the benefactor who saved me is unpredictable, and he has never showed his true identity to me. I don’t have any clues even if I want to find him.”Christian shook his head and said, “It’s not that there are no clues. It’s right in Aurous Hill!”Merlin deliberately asked him, “What do you mean, Christian?”Christian said seriously, “I told you about the auction for the Rejuvenating Pill that I attended in Aurous Hill. I have always wanted to f

Christian accompanied Lady Acker to the old mansion Charlie’s parents used to stay in twenty minutes later. The Ackers’ convoy quickly left Willow Manor and headed for the city of Aurous Hill. At the same time, Charlie was also driving from the city in the direction of Willow Manor. He planned to go to Champs Elys Resort, and the straight-line distance between Willow Manor and Champs Elys Resort was very close, only separated by two mountains. Therefore, most of the journey from the city to Willow Manor and from the city to Champs Elys Resort overlapped. When Charlie was on the highway out of the city, he saw an oncoming convoy coming from the opposite direction.Before he set off, Merlin had sent him a text message to inform him that his grandmother would be visiting the old mansion his parents used to stay in today. Therefore, even though the two parties passed each other at extremely fast speeds, Charlie could still tell that this was the Ackers’ convoy.However, Charlie was

Meanwhile, in the old town district of Aurous Hill. The Ackers’ originally eye-catching convoy had dispersed before entering the old town district, making it less eye-catching. However, all vehicles were still closely guarding the vehicle that Charlie’s grandmother and uncle were riding in from all directions. Helen and Sophie had already had breakfast in the old mansion that Charlie’s parents used to live in.Sophie was already dressed up smartly, and she picked up her handbag and said to Helen, “Mom, I’m going to Aurous University of Finance and Economics.”Helen nodded and said, “Drive safely on the road. Will you be coming back for lunch?”Sophie said, “I won’t be coming back at noon. Autumn and I will have lunch together at the cafeteria at Aurous University of Finance and Economics.”As one of the people in charge of Ito-Schulz Ocean Shipping Group, Sophie had been going to Aurous University of Finance and Economics with Autumn every day recently to look for Yolden for ma

“Huh?” Helen exclaimed as she looked at the old lady in surprise. “You’re Lady Acker?! Please come in! Mr. Christian, please come in too!”With that said, she quickly opened the door.Helen did not understand why Lady Acker would come to see her at first but soon realized that the purpose of the old lady’s visit should not have anything to do with her.Based on Charlie’s instruction, she immediately concluded that the old lady’s purpose in coming here must be to find out clues about Charlie. Lady Acker and Christian thanked Helen and followed her in. Sophie walked out of the inner door at this moment and could not help but feel a little confused when she saw an old lady and a middle-aged man walking into the courtyard. Helen quickly introduced, “Lady Acker and Mr. Christian, this is my daughter, Sophie. Sophie, this is Lady Acker and Mr. Christian from the Acker family in the United States.”Sophie subconsciously blurted out, “Lady Acker… Isn’t that Mr. Wade…”Sophie initially

When Helen saw that Lady Acker seemed to be in low spirits, she comforted her somewhat apologetically, “Lady Acker, I just moved in here not long ago. I don’t know if Charlie has been here for so many years before I moved in, so you don’t have to be so pessimistic and worry too much.”Lady Acker nodded slightly and sighed as she said, “I have no doubts that Charlie is still alive, but I can find too few clues related to Charlie now. If any one of these clues are broken, it would mean that there will be one less clue…”Helen smiled and said, “Lady Acker, perhaps it’s just not the right time for you to be reunited with him now. When the time is right, I believe he will come to meet you even if he is far away.”Lady Acker smiled wryly and said, “I believe what you’ve said. I’m just afraid that I will not be able to wait for that day when I’m already at this age.”Helen could not help but feel a little distressed when she saw the old lady was so melancholy. Aurous Hill was definitely

Everyone stood up from their futons and bowed to Caden to express their gratitude before they walked out while relaxing their muscles.Nanako was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, she asked Aurora excitedly, “Aurora, have you mastered the secret of endoscopic ability?”Aurora scratched her head and said, “It seems like it, but it doesn’t seem like it either… It feels like the bottom of a particularly deep pond. When I try to dive down, I can’t go any further every time when I feel that I’m almost at the bottom. It’s really annoying…”After saying that, she asked Nanako, “Nanako, you look so excited. Have you already mastered it?!”Nanako nodded heavily and exclaimed in a low voice, “I seem to have mastered the secret of endoscopic ability. It’s just like the diving that you mentioned. I always could not dive further down in the beginning, and I felt that the closer I was to the bottom of the pond, the greater the repulsive force of the water. There seems to be forces pushing me tow

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
