“Yes!” Landon said without hesitation, “He has been in the antique business for twenty to thirty years now. He is definitely a swindler... no, I mean, he’s definitely proficient in antiques, calligraphy, and ancient paintings!”Mr. Chardon nodded, then took out a few more hundred-dollar bills and handed them over to Landon as he said with a smile, “Young man, I wonder if you can introduce your boss to me? I really want to get to know him.”Landon glanced at the old man and saw that the old man seemed to be very willing to offer him money, so he instantly had a plan in mind. He deliberately coughed twice before saying seriously, “Old man, you should know that there are rules in our industry as well. I don’t know who you are, so I can’t bring you to meet my boss just like that. If you’re working undercover and have targeted us, wouldn’t I be doomed for the rest of my life, then?”Mr. Chardon hurriedly said, “Oh, young man, you’ve really misunderstood me! Do I look like such a ruthless
While collecting money and praising Mr. Chardon, Landon did not forget to compliment him as he said, “Old man, it seems that you’re also an expert! Could it be that you were a tomb raider as well when you were young?”Landon basically meant that Mr. Chardon was possibly a tomb raider who had organized a tomb-robbing team and served as the core figure in this team.Mr. Chardon waved his hand and said with a smile, “I only know a little about antiques, but I don’t know anything about tomb robbing.”In fact, Mr. Chardon truly did not know much about tomb robbing. When he was young, he had once heard of some tomb raiders and tomb-robbing incidents, but the main point was that he had been practicing Taoism in the temple all year round, and he did not have any interest in tomb-robbing or cultural relics, so he frankly did not know much about tomb robbing. However, he had lived for a long time, and the amount of information he had actively or passively received was definitely much grea
As soon as Mr. Chardon placed some Reiki into the ring, he could immediately feel the formation that was slowly operating in the ring.He was instantly shocked and thought to himself, ‘This formation is constantly working, so I wonder what effect it has.’Although Mr. Chardon had mastered Reiki, he did not know much about magical instruments and formations.Although he had a wooden sword and there was an attack formation in the wooden sword, he could only use it but not refine it. He did not understand the mystery of formation nor could he understand the basic principles and logic of the formation.Therefore, when he saw the formation that Charlie had left in the ring, he suddenly could not figure out the purpose of this formation.In actuality, this formation was a passive defense formation recorded in the Apocalyptic Book. Once the person wearing the magical instrument was attacked, the formation would be activated immediately, using its own energy to defend the owner from the
“You want to buy it?”Mr. Chardon nodded and said, “Yes, I want to buy it. Please quote me a price for this ring!”When Landon heard Mr. Chardon asking about the price of the ring, he immediately thought of Zachary’s previous instructions. He would have to quote a sky-high price that was more than a hundred times the market price of this ring no matter who wanted to buy this ring.Landon did not understand why Zachary was doing this, but since he was just getting paid to get things done, he had to play his cards according to the routine. He was just here to pick people up, and the old man would have to go and deal with Zachary directly if he truly wanted to buy this jade ring. Therefore, he pondered for a moment. This jade ring was worth thirty to fifty thousand dollars at most, so he would have to quote a price within the range of three to five million dollars if he had to quote a price that was a hundred times the market price.As he thought of this, he clenched his teeth, stre
Landon was overjoyed and hurriedly said, “Okay, Mr. Zachary. I will definitely do my best to swindle… Oh, no, I mean, to introduce more customers to you!”Zachary reminded him, “Don’t be so focused on getting more customers. The big customer from Hong Kong might come soon, and that is the real big investor!”Landon said excitedly, “You can rest assured, Mr. Zachary! I will definitely not screw up!”After hanging up the phone, Landon paced back and forth excitedly. He was unaware that Mr. Chardon had already overheard his entire conversation with Zachary.Mr. Chardon did not notice any abnormalities from Landon’s conversation with Zachary. On the contrary, his previous judgment was strengthened, and he firmly believed that the other good things that Zachary had mentioned might be some other magical instruments. He was extremely excited as he thought of this. To him, gaining a magical instrument was an important matter that was equivalent to a martial artist suddenly gaining a comp
After Zachary hung up the phone with Landon, he reported the situation to Charlie immediately. Charlie, who received the call, had already arrived at Champs Elys Resort. Charlie planned to spend as much time as possible here during this period of time to prevent any emergencies because Champs Elys Resort was not far from Willow Manor, where his grandparents lived. He had asked Isaac to prepare a powerful rescue helicopter to be on standby here at all times so that the helicopter could take off directly and arrive at Willow Manor within two to three minutes once there was an emergency.Charlie was immediately in awe when he heard Zachary say that someone at the airport was willing to pay three million dollars to buy the jade ring he had prepared.Charlie knew that the person he was waiting for was finally here!He had guessed that the people from the Qing Eliminating Society would definitely come to Aurous Hill, but he did not expect that he would come so quickly!Zachary then a
After Charlie met Zachary in Isaac’s office, he asked him, “Did you bring over the piece of Thunderstrike wood I gave you?”Zachary took the Thunderstrike wood out of his pocket, handed it to Charlie, and said, “I brought it here with me. Take a look at it, Master Wade.”Charlie nodded and told him, “Zachary, go out and wait for me for a while.”Zachary said without hesitation, “Okay! Master Wade, please do not hesitate to call me if you need anything.”Zachary then left the office respectfully. Charlie quickly used his Reiki to make some adjustments to the formation in the Thunderstrike wood. A few minutes later, he called Zachary in, handed the Thunderstrike wood that had been adjusted to him, and then inserted some Reiki into Zachary as he said, “Zachary, you should go back with this piece of Thunderstrike wood now. If the other party asks you about the details of the tomb robbing and whether you have any other products besides this piece of Thunderstrike wood, just tell him t
Mr. Chardon felt like a person who had wanted to win the lottery for a hundred years but had never won even once. Now, he had suddenly won two jackpots in a row.To put it bluntly, it was equivalent to him buying lottery tickets for a lifetime and never winning even the consolation prize of five dollars. As a result, he had suddenly won the grand prize for both Mega Millions and Grand Lotto!His one hundred and fifty-six years of life experience did not cause him to doubt whether this was a trap at all. His reason for not having any doubts was very simple as well. It was simply because the British Lord himself did not own many magical instruments. Mr. Chardon had worked with the British Lord for so many years, and the British Lord had only given him a magical instrument that he could use for self-defense. Moreover, the magical instrument was not a gift from the British Lord. Mr. Chardon would have to return it to the British Lord for safekeeping when he returned. Therefore, who w
