Therefore, even though Charlie was staring at her, she remained calm and composed and constantly had a polite and reserved smile on her face. Claudia asked her in surprise, “You’re from the Archeology Department as well?”Vera nodded and asked curiously, “That’s right! Are you from the Archeology Department too?”Claudia nodded and said, “Yes, I am…”Vera smiled and said, “What a coincidence! We are both international students, we speak Oskian dialect, and we major in Archeology!”Claudia found it very unbelievable as well and said seriously, “They told me that not many people, especially girls, signed up to major in Archeology. I was prepared to be the only girl among the freshman this year, but I didn’t expect to meet a female classmate in the same major!”Stephanie, who was aside, said with a smile, “Most importantly, the two of you are assigned to the same room in the dormitory. The two of you are really fated!”Mrs. Lewis said with a smile, “That’s right! The two of you ar

Vera expected that Charlie would certainly come back from the moment he left. Therefore, she could not relax for a moment and pretended to be calm as she unpacked her personal belongings. When Charlie returned to the dormitory, the door was still open. He opened the door directly and said coldly, “Vera Lavor, what is your purpose in coming to Aurous Hill?”Charlie’s sudden question startled Vera, who was unpacking her things, but this startled action was something she had practiced countless times. Vera exclaimed at the right time, then turned around and looked at Charlie nervously as she asked with extreme vigilance, “Who… Who are you?!”Charlie sneered and asked her, “You chased me all the way here but you’re still asking who I am? Aren’t you being too fake?”Vera showed even more fear, and she could not help but take a step back as she said nervously, “Who… Who are you? How did you know about the name Vera Lavor?!”Charlie sneered and said, “What? You’re still pretending?

“Your grandfather?” Charlie asked again, “Who is your grandfather?”Vera said, “My grandfather is Logan Carrick, the richest man in Malaysia.”“Logan Carrick?” Charlie had heard this name more than once when he transferred to Aurous University. Since Logan had donated a lot of education funds to Aurous University and helped Aurous University develop rapidly, his story was well-written into the university’s history. He did not expect Vera to be related to Logan, so he was even more surprised as he asked, “What is your real name?”Vera said without hesitation, “My real name is Vera Lavor.”Charlie asked again, “Logan’s last name is Carrick, and your last name is Lavor. How can he be your grandfather?”Vera said, “He’s a distant relative. He is my grandfather’s distant relative. I turned to him for help after I escaped from Northern Europe. I asked him to help me forge a new identity as Veron Lavor in order not to be discovered. He’s the one who arranged for me to come to Aurous Hi

“Marianne Long?!” Charlie was stunned when he heard this. He thought to himself, ‘Could it be such a coincidence that there is a female lecturer named Marianne Long?’The next second, he wondered again, ‘She should just happen to have the same name as the Marianne Long I know, right?’However, when Charlie thought about how he had met Vera again here, he felt that it was not impossible if the Marianne he knew had come to Aurous University as well.Therefore, he asked another question, “Where is the Marianne Long that you spoke about from?”Vera answered truthfully, “She’s from Hong Kong. Her father is Shawn Long, a famous wealthy businessman in Hong Kong.”“Oh…” Charlie took a deep breath.He thought to himself, ‘When did Marianne come to Aurous University to be a lecturer here?! Why did a rich heir like her from Hong Kong come to Aurous University to become a lecturer? Why didn’t she tell me that she came to Aurous Hill?’Charlie thought about how Vera actually knew Marianne an

The ring had vibrated for the second time in the underground parking lot at Thompson First. If Vera was telling the truth, it would be completely reasonable if Vera had gone to pick Marianne up to go to Logan’s house for dinner. Charlie only needed to confirm whether Marianne lived in Thompson First to confirm whether Vera was lying or not. He could not find any flaws after reviewing Vera’s answers carefully. With this in mind, he thought to himself, ‘It seems that I need to get someone to check Vera’s entry record to see when she came to Aurous Hill and whether she lied. If she really didn’t lie, all this should be just a coincidence, then.”Charlie suddenly heard the sound of footsteps behind him, and a familiar voice asked from behind, “Veron, are you used to the dormitory?”Charlie could immediately tell that it was Marianne’s voice!In order to prevent Marianne from discovering Vera’s abnormal state, Charlie erased Vera’s previous memory immediately. While Vera was still in

Charlie had just accidentally asked about Marianne’s situation from Vera. However, after Marianne said it herself, he still pretended to be surprised and asked, “When did you come to work at Aurous University?”Marianne could only explain truthfully, “Well, Aurous University has an Outstanding Talent Introduction Program, so I tried applying for it. I was invited to come and attend the interview, and I passed the interview…”Marianne’s tone sounded very uneasy, like a child who had done something wrong and was discovered by her parents. Charlie knew that Marianne had most likely come to Aurous Hill because of him. However, at this time, he could only pretend to be dumbfounded, so he subconsciously said, “Although Aurous University is not as good as Hong Kong University, it is still a very good university…”Marianne nodded slightly, looked at Charlie, and stuttered as she said, “I… I think it’s pretty good as well…”Vera, who was aside, seemed to have just returned to her senses.

Charlie’s suspicion of Vera had basically been dispelled at this point.However, Charlie was still frowning even though he did believe that Vera did not know his true identity. Although he basically believed that Vera’s appearance in Aurous Hill was just a coincidence, he was still vaguely worried.The Qing Eliminating Society had been after Vera the last time Charlie had seen her.Now that she had come to Aurous Hill, if the Qing Eliminating Society found any clues about her, they would definitely learn from the last experience and lesson and send the most powerful martial arts experts to Aurous Hill to catch her.Furthermore, Charlie’s grandparents had also arrived in Aurous Hill, and their family was also an important target of the Qing Eliminating Society. In that case, the Qing Eliminating Society’s two major targets would be in Aurous Hill, and the probability that the Qing Eliminating Society would attack in Aurous Hill would be greatly increased. Now that the Qing Eli

When Marianne saw Charlie standing at the door in a daze, she could not help but ask, “Mr. Wade, what’s wrong?”Charlie regained his senses and smiled as he said, “Oh, I was preoccupied with something else. I’m sorry.”The waitress then came over and said, “Please come in.”Charlie nodded. When he followed the waiter in, he specially looked at the small bell hanging on the sliding door and was instantly inspired. If the Qing Eliminating Society were to really send a great earl to Aurous Hill in the future, he had to have a ‘bell’ that could warn him in advance.After sitting down with Marianne, Charlie took out his cell phone and sent a text message to Zachary, who sold antiques at Antique Street, asking Zachary to meet him at Champs Elys hot spring villa at noon tomorrow. Zachary had started working as an inept advisor for Albert some time ago, and he did a good job. Albert’s industries and people were reorganized and restructured, which increased his income and management gre

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
