She bowed respectfully to Charlie with shock and gratitude as she said with teary eyes, “Thank you for saving my life, Mr. Wade…”Charlie released his hand that was holding her and said calmly, “If you truly want to thank me, tell me everything you know in detail later.”Ruby immediately replied without hesitation, “Mr. Wade, please rest assured that I will tell you everything without reservation.”Charlie nodded without saying a word, then turned around and walked back.Ruby hurriedly followed and saw the beautiful girl standing in front of her as well.When she saw the girl's face clearly, she was shocked as if she had seen a ghost, and she exclaimed in astonishment, “Vera… Vera Lavor?!”“Yes, it's me!” Vera replied directly. She then looked at Ruby, blinked playfully, and said with a smile, “You are Miss Dijo, right? I've heard about you for a long time. People say you are beautiful and cool. Today, after seeing you in person, it seems as if seeing is believing.”Ruby’s dark

Charlie’s words made Ruby feel extremely excited. When the explosion occurred and she made eye contact with Charlie, she knew that Charlie was undoubtedly dead. However, Charlie, who had changed his clothes, was standing in front of her unscathed now. A punch from him, producing a burst of energy, was enough to support her falling body.His strength surpassed hers by more than one realm. Although she believed Charlie’s strength still lagged behind Fleur’s, the crucial point was that Charlie was just twenty-eight years old, whereas Fleur, the British Lord, was already four hundred years old. At this rate, Charlie would soon catch up to the British Lord! As she thought of this, she couldn't help but feel a bit regretful because, in her opinion, she still had over two years to live. It seemed foolish to dream of witnessing Charlie overpowering Fleur within such a short time period. Charlie was unaware of the myriad of thoughts in Ruby’s mind at this moment. He brought the injured Rub

Charlie smiled and exclaimed, “Fleur must be in great agony tonight. Shortly after Mr. Chardon arrived at Willow Manor, I blocked all signals there. She definitely will not be able to sleep tonight after two great earls disappear at the same time.” Ruby nodded slightly. “At that time, I did not have a signal on my cell phone either. Fleur should be very anxious. With her personality, she will definitely send someone to Aurous Hill to find out the situation as soon as possible.”Charlie laughed. “Would she send the fourth great earl here as well?” Ruby shook her head. “Probably not. Mr. Chardon perished in the explosion, and I disappeared as well. Three out of the four great earls are now gone, so Fleur should be wary of Aurous Hill, so it’s impossible for her to send Mr. Zorro here.”Charlie asked her, “With her personality, would she come to Aurous Hill personally?” “No way!” Ruby shook her head. “Fleur is extremely cautious and would never personally intervene to solve probl

Charlie noticed that Ruby’s expression had turned grim, so he frowned slightly and asked, “What’s the matter? Tell me.” Ruby clenched her teeth and said, “Fleur originally said in the beginning that it was dangerous for the four of us to execute missions outside, fearing that we might lose our lives if we encountered powerful cultivators. So, she spent several years setting up an extremely secretive and powerful formation inside our pineal glands. She said that activating this formation at critical moments could preserve a strand of our souls, allowing our physical bodies to die but our souls to survive. When Mr. Chardon said he would change his physical body and look for you to exact revenge, it was because of this…”Having said that, Ruby said bitterly, “But I didn't expect that it wasn't a formation to preserve our souls at all, but a highly powerful self-destructing formation instead…”After listening, Charlie nodded slightly. “No wonder Mr. Chardon was initially begging for me

Vera looked at Charlie and said, “Young Master, if Fleur really sends those three elders, I'm worried that you won't be able to handle them all. Young Master, it might be better to leave Aurous Hill for a while to avoid the limelight for your own safety.”Ruby also agreed, "Mr. Wade, Miss Lavor is right. With the three elders together, even Fleur would probably have a hard time winning. You haven't even activated your pineal gland yet. If you stay in Aurous Hill, once the three elders arrive, it'll be hard to escape!”After pondering for a moment, Charlie shook his head. “It’s simple for me to leave, but what about my grandparents? They're such high-profile targets, and there might even be insiders from the Qing Eliminating Society among them. The Qing Eliminating Society is bent on killing them, so no matter how they run, they won't be able to evade the pursuit of those three elders.”Speaking of this, Charlie suddenly asked Ruby, “How much do you know about my parents? Do you know

“Present a bold front to conceal your weakness?” Both Vera and Ruby looked confused after hearing Charlie’s words. They naturally knew the meaning behind Charlie’s words, but they could not figure out how Charlie was going to present a bold front to Fleur in order to conceal his weakness. Ruby was the first to persuade him as she said, “Mr. Wade, the strategy will only work if you can scare Fleur and make her afraid. However, to be honest with you, if you reveal your identity, even if Aurous Hill is full of traps, Fleur will definitely send those three elders to test your identity and background at all costs. She will only be wary of you if you’re hidden. I’m afraid that you will only be forced to fight her to death if your identity is revealed.”Vera could not help but persuade as well, “That’s right, Young Master. I feel that Miss Dijo’s words make perfect sense as well. The possibility of you being able to scare Fleur away at this time is close to zero, so I’d advise you not to

Ruby smiled and said in agreement, “Miss Lavor, you’re right. Over the past couple of years, Fleur has been noticeably more anxious than she had been before. For decades, Fleur had never worried about aging, as her appearance remained unchanged for hundreds of years. However, over the past two years, she has even started paying attention to skincare. Sometimes when walking past her, you can even distinctly smell the scent of skincare products. It seems she's afraid of aging.”Vera chuckled, “What's to come will definitely come. What's the use of being afraid?”With that said, she brought her thoughts back to the painting in front of her and suddenly seemed to understand Charlie’s plan.So, she widened her eyes instantly and was filled with joy as she asked Charlie eagerly, “Young Master, could it be… could it be that you want to use Master Marcius to present a bold front and conceal your weakness?”Ruby, who was aside, listened in surprise as she could not yet grasp the key points.

“Fleur has been monitoring Aurous Hill closely, right? Once this painting appears, she will definitely pay attention to it. At that time, she will surely have many questions in her mind!”“She must want to know who brought out the portrait of her master, and she must be even more curious about the relationship between the person who brought out the painting and her master. Could it be someone her master accepted as a disciple before her? If so, that person might be over five hundred years old by now and may have obtained extraordinary strength from countless cultivations!”“She must also want to know why her master's portrait appeared out of nowhere in Aurous Hill the next day after two great earls under her command died and went missing. She would definitely want to know if the person who brought out this painting and the person who forced Mr. Chardon to blow himself up are the same person. If so, why didn't that person die from Mr. Chardon’s explosion? She must also want to underst

Zachary was naturally shrewd enough to read Jacob's intention.In reality, he wasn't offering to pay just because he wanted the profit. He merely wanted to get in Jacob's good graces. After all, wouldn't Jacob be even more grateful that he wasn't just helping his revenge but also helping him make money?As such, he didn't hesitate to tell Jacob, "Well, chief—since you'll be paying, I will make sure that you will get every cent of profit that you deserve."Jacob was grinning ear-to-ear, but he said, "Oh, you don't have to! If we really are making a profit, there's no way I would let your good work go unrewarded!"Spreading his arms, he continued generously, "How about this? I will pay the full cost while you get twenty percent of the net profit!"Zachary laughed. "Now, that can wait, chief. We need to pay as soon as we decide on the item we want, and there's no time for buyer's regret. But if Raymond doesn't take the bait, all that money will go down the drain, and whether we can s

Zachary chuckled and continued, "Well, I went to Antique Street and asked around. Turns out our mutual friend only brought a few hundred thousand grand with him. If he messes up and loses all his money, won't it be over for him?""He won't just be broke either—he'd be humiliated and forced to fuck off from Antique Street. You'd get even then!"Jacob was at once excited.Just yesterday, Claire and Charlie were warning him that assault meant doing time.As the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association and the next presidential-hopeful, he would lose his place if he was charged with assault or being an accessory to a case.However, Zachary's plan was much better. Jacob wouldn't have to take responsibility, and the damage on Raymond would be even worse!In comparison, slapping Raymond meant nothing. Watching him go broke and get humiliated would really ease his heart!With that in mind, he promptly pressed Zachary, "Are you sure that prick will mess up?""I can't a

Jacob Wilson was in his office at the Calligraphy and Painting Association, planning his itinerary in Dubai.Still, he was immediately thrilled when Zachary told him that there was progress, and he quickly said, "Come see me at the Calligraphy and Painting Association. We'll talk in my office!""Alright!" Zachary agreed to it happily. "Just wait, Mr. Wilson. I'll be right there!"Jacob then quickly told him, "By the way, remember to address me as the vice president when you're here. Got it?"Zachary was naturally sharp enough to understand why, especially around other members of the Calligraphy and Painting Association.Smiling, he said, "Don't worry, chief. You can always be at ease when I'm on the job!"Once he hung up, he drove to the Calligraphy and Painting Association at top speed.There were just a dozen people around the dozens of work cubicles although Zachary was curious about the personal effects or office tools in the cubicles.After asking around, a staff member le

Then, Mick continued, "I won't lie—Moore Group's bean counters have been eager to get rid of Vintage Deluxe for a while now. It's only Miss Moore's insistence that keeps them at bay, even occasionally coming to check on how business is going. That means she holds sentiment for this place, but if she knows that Raymond is back and doing well, she might hire him again!"Zachary could laugh right then. After all, Mick was terrible at gathering information—he could worry about anyone taking his palace, but not Raymond. The man was fired because he had insulted Master Wade's father in-law, and Miss Moore was endlessly respectful—even obedient to Master Wade. There was no chance that she would hire Raymond back after what he had done, and Mick was just being paranoid.However, Zachary did not tell Mick that.As Mick was begging him to intervene and thus owing him big time, he would also be helping Jacob Wilson get even.Two birds with one stone, so why not?With that in mind, Zachar

Zachary then said, "By the way, I have some friends who have a lot of stock. How much capital do you have, Mr. Cole? I'll check if they have stuff that suits you, and you can partner with them."When Zachary asked how much capital, he was basically asking Raymond how much he would invest in his own business and how much he could spend on taking new stock as he was buying.As such, Raymond replied modestly, "I've been chasing my tail for a while, so I didn't earn more than a few hundred thousand. I definitely would have no issue taking items with rebates, but I'm afraid I can't afford premiums.""Alright!" Zachary nodded, having discerned the scale of Zachary's capital."I'll check on what's available and see if we can get a few personal deals."Raymond nodded. "Thank you, Zachary!"Zachary smiled, shaking his head. "Mr. Crane, please buy another fruit basket for Mr. Cole—I'll pay you later."Mick quickly said, "Oh, you don't have to, Mr. Evans! It's my pleasure, no worries!"Zach

With the last stroke, Raymond got on a ladder to reach the old signboard, pasting the banner over the old shop sign.Then, he added a notice by the entrance: We buy all antiques and measure all treasures.As soon as the makeshift sign and notice were up, Mick was the first to arrive with a fruit basket to celebrate the occasion.The instant they met, he greeted Raymond warmly, "Ah, Mr. Cole! You sure are efficient—you just came back yesterday evening, and you're already setting up shop today at noon!"Raymond smiled, "Doing a small business by myself is naturally much quicker."Mick shook his head disapprovingly as he put the fruit basket by the door, "Now, now. Don't be a stranger, Mr. Cole—almost everyone in Antique Street is a friend, but you didn't tell the gang when you opened the shop! It'd hype things up when everyone comes bringing you gifts!"Raymond quickly shook his head. "Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't know if this humble trade will last. It's better to keep m

To not lose three months' worth of rent on top of that, Donald called over the owner at top speed while getting some of the friends in the antique trade to appraise what merchandise he had left.Taking losses had always been the hardest pill to swallow, but once the decision was made, there really was nothing that couldn't be given up.The owner was plenty pleased as well since that meant someone was picking up on his rental. He promptly had Donald sign the agreement transferring the last three months for the rental to Raymond while signing a new rental contract with Raymond.Raymond didn't have to pay up immediately either—he just had to start paying rent to the owner once Donald's three-month rent was up.Once the agreement was signed, every stall owner as well as owners of businesses resembling the Pearl House swarmed the premises.After all, they loved to take stock from people in the same line of business. Once a business owner decided to close shop, they wouldn't be bothered
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6446
If Donald had to maintain his business under such circumstances, the next three months would be even worse.Hence, instead of doing that, he really wanted to stop this business altogether.As for what remaining merchandise, he'd just get some fellow in the same business to take them off his hands at a lower cost while he gained his freedom sooner.Hence, he stopped Raymond, "Wait, my friend! Let's talk about this… if the hundred fifty grand transfer fee is too much for you, why don't I cut it down even more—say, a hundred grand instead?"Raymond turned and told him solemnly, "I'm not paying a transfer fee at all."Frustrated, Donald blurted, "At least give me ten grand for my troubles! My shop is good—you'd definitely make bank once you take it off my hands!"Raymond thought about it and eventually said, "How about this—if you can clear up the place by the end of the day, I will pay you five grand on top of the forty five grand that is your remaining rent, but not one cent more."
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6445
The reasoning was simple too—with businesses failing, most shops were losing money.With months left on Donald's rental contract, all he could do now was keep his business afloat while attempting to transfer the rental to someone else. At the same time, he must be prepared for the situation where no one would rent it from him, and he must honor his contract to the very last second.With the losses he had sustained up until the contract expires, he definitely wouldn't extend it. That meant packing up to leave while returning everything to the owner to claim the deposit that the owner was holding.Even now that he was asking for a transfer fee, his mindset was to get whatever he could get. By the last month, Donald would naturally give up on such pipe dreams regardless.Still, when Raymond saw the lack of merchandise in the shop, he could tell Donald's business was at its final stretch. What little he sold would serve to recuperate his losses, and there was no chance in hell he would
