However, he could only harbor those thoughts, and he did not dare to casually cause trouble before dealing with the Ackers. Thus, he could only turn around reluctantly and continue walking in the other direction. At this moment, he had no idea that Ruby had found a window-side seat on the second floor of a tea house along Antique Street and was observing him from afar.Just then, Zachary, who was yawning as he dragged his stall items with him, walked in from the entrance of Antique Street. Mr. Chardon saw him at a glance, rushed to him in delight, and questioned, “Zachary, where have you been? I've been waiting for you all morning and noon without even seeing a glimpse of your shadow at all!”Zachary yawned, lazily covering his mouth with his palm while making lazy sounds. After the yawn, he lazily stretched before saying, “Old man, I'm running a stall, not working a 9-to-5 job. I'll come whenever I want. Who can control me?”When Mr. Chardon saw Zachary’s seemingly provoking ap
Mr. Chardon was already familiar with the process this time. He unlocked his cell phone immediately and transferred two hundred thousand US dollars to Zachary. After doing that, he asked impatiently, “Zachary, can you bring the goods here for me now?”Zachary patted his chest and said, “Please wait a moment, old man. I’ll call him and urge him right away!”Mr. Chardon hurriedly reminded, “I only want items from the same source as the other two items. Don’t try to fool me.”Zachary said with a serious expression, “Old man, rest assured that I have been doing this for so many years because I’ve always relied on the word ‘integrity’. I won’t do anything deceptive. My superior had already contacted me and said that he would be sending another item over in a moment. Just wait a minute!”Mr. Chardon was suddenly excited and blurted out, “Really?! That’s fantastic!”The two waited for about twenty minutes when a delivery rider from a local express service ran in from outside Antique St
As he was still feeling disappointed, Zachary, who was aside, spoke up and said, “Old man, in my opinion, you should buy this jade ring as well. You will look very grand when you wear both jade rings on each thumb!”Mr. Chardon secretly thought to himself, ‘Since I’ve already told the British Lord about this ring, it’s good that I can buy a second one now. I can give one of the jade rings to the British Lord and keep the other one. At the very least, I won’t be left with any regrets if it’s something valuable.’With that thought in mind, Zachary said, “Okay. Since I’m fated with jade rings, I will buy this one as well. It’s still five hundred thousand dollars, right?”Zachary hurriedly said, “Old man, five hundred thousand dollars won’t be enough this time. My supplier said that this is already the last ring, and there won’t be anymore after I sell it, so it cannot be sold for less than one million US dollars.”“One million US dollars?” Mr. Chardon said with some displeasure, “That
Mr. Chardon knew very well that no matter what happened, he would have to carry out the mission assigned to him by the British Lord two and a half days later. With his strength, killing the Ackers would be a piece of cake even with the heavy protection of the Ackers’ bodyguards. However, he was well aware that once he laid hands on the Ackers, it would be difficult for him to escape unscathed under the official siege in Oskia. At that time, he would have no chance to extract more magic instruments from Zachary.At a certain moment, Mr. Chardon also considered whether he should seize the opportunity to capture Zachary to force him to reveal information about his superior and then follow the trail to find his superior, directly engaging in a deadly confrontation.However, he worried that making too much noise might leak information. The Ackers had an extensive network, so if they sensed anything, his core mission would likely be compromised. Moreover, he could not quite understand wh
Charlie said, “Let him wait first if he wants the goods. The police and banks have been cooperating closely lately, so you will get targeted easily if the source of large-value transfers is unknown, especially if it’s a transaction in US dollars. Therefore, you have to free up all the money you received over the past few days and tell the buyer that you will deliver the goods to him in a week.”Zachary hurriedly said, “But the buyer can't wait that long. He told me today that he can only wait until no later than dark on the day after tomorrow. Shouldn't we deliver the goods to him earlier? After all, once this opportunity is gone, it might not come back.”When Charlie heard Zachary mention that the great earl from the Qing Eliminating Society would only be able to wait until before dark on the day after tomorrow, Charlie suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He felt that since the other party had said so, the night of the day after tomorrow was likely the time when he would make a mo
Zachary was just acting according to Charlie’s arrangements with this series of performances. In other words, he was eating, drinking, and entertaining himself with public funds that had already been approved by his superior. The reason why Charlie asked Zachary to entertain himself and have fun every night was because he was worried that Mr. Chardon would be secretly monitoring Zachary. Charlie could not allow any clues about Zachary to be exposed before Mr. Chardon made the next move. As long as Zachary did not expose any clues, there would not be any changes on the night after tomorrow. Once the secret was exposed, it could potentially cause Mr. Chardon to take action earlier instead. At this moment, Mr. Chardon was constantly keeping an eye on Zachary, and he was even listening carefully to his conversations with the female escort. The more he observed Zachary, the more he believed in Zachary’s persona and everything Zachary had told him.In his view, Zachary earned money du
Mr. Chardon came over as soon as Zachary set up his stall. When Mr. Chardon saw that Zachary was hungover, he could not wait to ask him, “Zachary, has your superior given you a definitive answer yet?”Zachary shook his head, yawned, and said, “Not yet. They have been thinking of various ways to withdraw cash since last night, but the amount of cash withdrawn each time is limited, so it will probably take a while.”Mr. Chardon felt a little anxious and impatient as he said, “Zachary, I might have to leave Aurous Hill tomorrow night. We might not have the chance to cooperate anymore in the future after I leave.”Zachary had a regretful expression as he said, “Boss, the timing for tomorrow night is indeed a little tight. Why don’t you stay a few more days? Just wait for another three to five days, and you'll probably get what you want. If you feel bored, you can move in to Shangri-La with me. I have a presidential suite there with four bedrooms. I only use one of the bedrooms, so you c
Very soon, it was already the third day. Mr. Chardon arrived early at Antique Street, eagerly awaiting good news from Zachary.At this moment, Mr. Chardon felt nervous and uneasy. According to the British Lord's requirements, he had to make a move against the Ackers before midnight, which would be before 11:00 p.m. tonight. Mr. Chardon also planned to go to Willow Manor precisely at 7:00 p.m. tonight. He would quietly find a safe place to hide in Willow Manor first and then wait for the perfect moment to strike. Once the timing was right, he would immediately attack and annihilate the Ackers.Therefore, his biggest wish today was to get more magic instruments from Zachary before 7:00 p.m. Despite knowing that Zachary might only set up his stall in the afternoon or even later, Mr. Chardon arrived and waited anxiously at Antique Street early in the morning.However, Zachary was late as usual and only arrived later in the afternoon.When Mr. Chardon saw Zachary, he could not contain
