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
Zachary had a regretful expression on his face as well. “Sorry, sir, perhaps we can cooperate again in the future when we have the opportunity.”With that said, Zachary added, “By the way, sir, didn’t you say that you can wait until 7:00 p.m.? I'll try to negotiate with my superior again later. If I can manage to convince him, I'll find you at Holiday Inn, then!”Mr. Chardon had already lost hope, but upon hearing Zachary’s words, he nodded with relief and said, “I'll be at the Holiday Inn before 7:00 p.m.”Zachary nodded vigorously and said, “Okay, I'll go over as soon as I get any news!”The reason why Charlie got Zachary to use the arrival of a large batch of goods the day after tomorrow to tempt and test Mr. Chardon was to truly stimulate Mr. Chardon to the fullest so that he could see if the final deadline tonight was truly unchangeable.If Mr. Chardon still could not wait in the face of five to eight magic instruments, it would prove that this time was set in stone by the Br
As for the Regeneration Pills, they currently stood as the most formidable life-preserving pill in Charlie’s possession. Their healing prowess surpassed even that of the Rejuvenating Pills, presenting a dominance that could potentially safeguard his life in critical moments. Should his opponent truly be an extraordinary master, the Regeneration Pills had the potential to be a lifeline.Charlie believed that with these pills at his disposal, he held the confidence to contend with the great earl from the Qing Eliminating Society. Moreover, given the meticulousness of his preparations, it seemed highly improbable for him to encounter any dangers as calculated by Vera.In addition to these precautions, Charlie securely placed the ring given by Vera and the Phoenixica given by Madam Fumiko in the safe.Having completed all the necessary arrangements, Charlie received a text message from Isaac that Mr. Chardon had left Holiday Inn, hailed a taxi at the entrance, and was heading out of t
