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

After saying that, Marianne explained, “Madam Marilyn is Mr. Carrick’s housekeeper in Aurous Hill. Veron lives in Scarlet Pinnacle Manor, which is Mr. Carrick’s place, and Madam Marilyn takes care of her.”Charlie was slightly startled when he heard this and suddenly realized that the reason why Vera had a headache was probably because he had placed too much Reiki into her brain at noon and done too much psychological hints on her. The reason why Charlie had used so much Reiki was because he really felt that it was strange when he saw her, and he was afraid that there would be something strange about her. After thinking about it now, if he transferred too much Reiki to an eighteen-year-old girl’s brain, it would definitely cause great damage to her body. Therefore, Vera’s headache and discomfort would probably last for a while. Charlie suddenly felt a little ashamed. He felt that he had overreacted and acted a little too harshly when he had seen Vera.Fortunately, this situatio

Charlie arrived at Champs Elys hot spring villa at noon the next day.Zachary arrived an hour in advance to wait for Charlie. When he saw Charlie, he said respectfully, “Master Wade, what are your orders for me?”Charlie smiled faintly and asked him, “Zachary, did you bring the things that I asked you to bring?”Zachary nodded repeatedly, took out a bag from the car, and said to Charlie, “Master Wade, I’ve brought everything you asked for!” Charlie responded, “Great! Let’s go in and talk.”Charlie brought Zachary to the living room in the villa. Zachary then opened up the suitcase impatiently and took out several pieces of wood that were all as black as charcoal but were of different sizes and thickness.As he took the pieces of wood out, he introduced to Charlie, “You said that you wanted Thunderstrike Wood. These are all the reliable Thunderstrike Wood that I could find from yesterday till now. Nine and a half out of ten of the Thunderstrike Wood sold in our market are fakes t

Charlie said, “Zachary, since you work for Albert now, you work for me as well, so I won’t hide anything from you. I want a jade ring that has been unearthed from a new tomb because I want to trick people. It will probably be very difficult for me to trick someone with a jade ring that has been mined from a certified tomb.”Zachary was confused when he heard this and subconsciously said, “Master Wade, why do you want to disguise a jade ring that has been unearthed from a new tomb as a jade ring that was unearthed from a certified tomb to deceive people? These days, things such as tomb robbing are being investigated closely, and antique dealers like myself don’t dare to ask for things that are unearthed from new tombs out of fear of getting into trouble and facing lawsuits. It’s a different matter if it’s something mined from a certified tomb. After all, the tomb is already very old, so even if was dug out thirty or forty years ago, it’s legal now.”Charlie waved his hand and said, “D

Charlie said calmly, “No need. Go to Antique Street and find two street vendors who are smart and can support you fully. Give one of the jade rings to each of them and ask them to put on the jade rings. Ask one of them to go to the arrival hall at the airport and the other to go to the exit of the high-speed railway station, and make them hold up signs as if they are waiting to pick someone up. It doesn’t matter who they are picking up, and they can simply write some random name on the sign.”Zachary was surprised and asked, “Master Wade, who are you going to pick up? You probably won’t be able to pick anyone up if you just write a random name, right?”Charlie said indifferently, “I don’t want to pick anyone up. I want to wait for someone!” After that, Charlie said very seriously, “Zachary, you have to listen to everything I say next word for word! If you handle this matter well, I promise to give you glory and wealth in the future!”As soon as Zachary heard this, he sat upright i

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
