Chapter 5697

Author: Lord Leaf
Meanwhile, Charlie was still in Champs Elys hot spring villa, having a long conversation with Vera and Ruby.

Although he had decided to present a bold front and conceal his weakness in front of Fleur, there were still many details that needed to be clarified step by step.

Vera said to Charlie, “Young Master, your idea to present a bold front and conceal your weakness is simply brilliant, but the only risk is how we should deal with the situation if the three elders come to Aurous Hill and Fleur hasn't paid attention to the painting of Master Marcius Stark? How should we deal with it?"

Charlie laughed and said, “Don't worry. The most popular short video platform right now is owned by the Wades. I found a way to send this painting to the Calligraphy and Painting Association this morning. Within a few hours, we can naturally arrange for this painting to be on the trending topic. As long as Fleur is still paying attention to Aurous Hill, she will definitely see it.”

Charlie then added,

    Ruby nodded and said, “That's right.”Charlie asked again, “Have you ever used Reiki to explore its mysteries?”Ruby replied, “We tried, but the pineal gland is usually closed, and our Reiki can't enter it at all.”Charlie nodded, then sighed and said, “It seems that Fleur truly has formidable strength. I haven't even activated my own pineal gland. If I can't even activate my own, I don’t think I can activate other people’s pineal glands. Therefore, the self-destructive formation inside you probably can't be removed in the short term.”Ruby sighed lightly and said, “I never thought about removing the formation. I just hope it won't harm other innocent people. Besides, I don't have much time left to live. I will only be able to live for a little more than two years.” Charlie asked curiously, “Miss Chain, why do you say that?”Ruby explained, “I have a strange poison left by Fleur in my body. I have to take an antidote once every three years, or my meridians will be cut off, and m

    Charlie had no immediate solution to Ruby's poison and the formation inside her pineal gland. This made him realize the significant gap between himself and Fleur.Although he had narrowly escaped the explosion thanks to the ring that Vera had given him, if Fleur sent three experts who were about to activate their pineal glands to Aurous Hill, Charlie probably wouldn't have any chance to survive. Even with Vera’s ring, he would only end up endangering her when the time comes. As for Fleur, she had activated her pineal gland over a hundred years ago, and her current cultivation must be unfathomable. She was ahead of Charlie by at least a hundred or even two to three hundred years. So, if Fleur was to come personally, Charlie probably had even less chance of survival.As Charlie thought of this, he couldn't help but feel grateful. If he hadn't saved the distressed Madam Jenson and her son in Mexico by chance, how would he have had the opportunity to obtain Master Marcius Stark’s paint

    Charlie reached out his hands and helped her up. He had a solemn expression as he said loudly, “My goal is to kill Fleur with my own hands and avenge my parents. If you're willing to follow me, you'll have to be enemies with Fleur. Can you do it?”Ruby clenched her teeth and said, “Mr. Wade, you can rest assured. Fleur is treacherous and ruthless. Not only has she used poison to control me for decades, but she even turned me into a human bomb. I have an irreconcilable hatred with her!”Charlie nodded gently and said, “Great! If I can help you remove the poison from your body in two years and if I’m fortunate enough to activate my pineal gland in the future, I will do my best to help you remove the formation inside your pineal gland. After Fleur’s death, you will be completely free. I will not interfere with where you want to go or what you want to do. This is my promise to you today!”Ruby clasped her hands together gratefully and said, “Thank you for your graciousness, Mr. Wade!”

    Charlie changed into his own clothes early in the morning and instructed Albert to settle Ruby down at Champs Elys Resort. Meanwhile, Charlie and Vera took the portrait of Marcius and boarded a helicopter back to Vera’s residence at Scarlet Pinnacle Manor.Meanwhile, a Boeing 777-200LR took off from Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, as it headed to Australia. Although this was the world's longest-range aircraft, its maximum range had not yet reached eighteen thousand kilometers. Therefore, the pilot’s flight plan was to first fly to Melbourne, Australia, refuel there, and then fly to Aurous Hill.Apart from the crew, there were only four passengers on the entire plane at the moment. These four people were Tarlon and the three elders who had just come out of their cultivation in seclusion. When these three elders went into seclusion more than a hundred years ago, the people of Oskia had just cut off their braids, and they only knew that foreigners had created planes that could

    After Vera landed the helicopter on the top courtyard of the villa, she said to Charlie, “Young Master, please come with me. I will prepare the ink and paper for you to write on Master Marcius Stark's portrait.”Charlie asked curiously, “You want me to write the caption on it?” “Yes.” Vera said with a smile, “If Fleur sees my handwriting, she might suspect that we're bluffing.”Charlie was perplexed and asked, “You haven't met for centuries. How would she recognize your handwriting?”Vera pursed her lips and said with a smile, “After you saved me last time, I left her a few words before leaving Northern Europe. So, it's safer for you to do the writing.”Charlie nodded and said, “Okay. I’ll do it, then.”After entering the study room on the first floor, Vera approached the long desk and prepared the ink for Charlie. Charlie picked up a brush and then wrote about Marcius’ life on the top right corner of his portrait.After he was done writing, he chuckled in a self-deprecating ma

    Vera also felt relieved when she saw Charlie looking so confident. She glanced at the time and said, “Young Master, it's almost eight o'clock now. When do you plan to go home?”Charlie said, “My father-in-law usually leaves for the Calligraphy and Painting Association at nine o'clock. It's quite close to my home. Miss Lavor, there's no need for you to send me back. The helicopter makes too much noise in the downtown area, so I'll go back by myself.”Vera insisted, “Young Master, how can I let you go back alone? Why don’t you let me drive you back instead?”Charlie hurriedly declined, “It's really not necessary. I can walk by myself.”Vera sighed softly and said, “Young Master, if you leave like this and pass by the courtyard downstairs, the servants might misunderstand when they see you leaving my courtyard in the morning.”Charlie asked awkwardly, “What do you think is appropriate then, Miss Lavor?”Vera said, “Young Master, please wait a moment. I'll make the arrangements.”Ch

    Mr. Raven nodded excitedly and said, “Miss, you can rest assured. I understand! I completely understand!”As he said that, he could not help but look at Charlie and say in an excited tone, “Mr. Wade, if I may be so bold to speak up, you are the only outsider that Miss has truly opened up her heart to in over three hundred years…”When Mr. Raven realized that his words did not sound right, he hastily explained, “What I mean is, you are the only adult that Miss has opened up her heart to in all these years. The rest of us were raised and have served by Miss since childhood, and Miss only gradually revealed her secrets to us after seeing our good nature and loyalty.”Charlie smiled awkwardly. He was unsure of how to respond, so he diverted the topic, saying, “Mr. Raven, you don't need to address yourself as a servant in front of me. I am truly unworthy…”Mr. Raven responded without hesitation, “No, no, no. Since my enlightenment, I vowed to stay by Miss's side for a lifetime, to serve

    Upon hearing Mr. Raven’s words, both Logan and Emmett were so shocked that they couldn't speak at all. They instinctively stood up, and Emmett looked at Mr. Raven and blurted out, “Mr. Raven, you said Miss has fallen in love. Who has she fallen in love with?”Mr. Raven whispered, “Do you remember what our biggest wish used to be?”Logan replied without hesitation, “Of course! It was for Miss to find her true love, settle down, and not be so lonely for the rest of her life!”Emmett sighed and said, “That’s right! For decades, I've been thinking that before we turned ten, Miss played with us. When we were between our tens to twenties, we played with Miss, and even as we matured, Miss remained forever seventeen. We hoped that one day she'd find her life partner. Later, when we left Miss's side, for many years, sometimes without knowing her whereabouts, I still held onto that hope…”With that said, Emmett looked at Mr. Raven and asked, “Mr. Raven, you mentioned Miss falling in love.

    Zachary nodded repeatedly. "Mr. Montague? Very well!""Yes!" Jacob grinned smugly. "Longer last names are simply better—it just sounds so authoritative."With that agreed upon, both men alighted, where the master was waiting nearby.Seeing them get off, he hurried over to them, smiling, "Please, follow me."Zachary looked around and huffed, "Honestly, Mr. Cardensky, isn't this way too far from the highway? The road is narrow and terrible, and I have to park my car all the way out here. Just coming here is taxing."Mr. Cardensky smiled in turn. "My friend, that's exactly why we picked this place. Do you remember seeing a couple of cars parked by the road, occupying half of it?""We arranged for them to be there. Anyone coming by car would have to slow down that way, buying time for us to see who they truly are. If it's cops, our watchers would quietly text us while we clean the house and bail."Zachary exclaimed in realization, "You boys really run a tight ship!""For sure," Mr.

    After working in Antique Street for years, Zachary's connections and influence were naturally special. And yet, though he was acquainted with some of the more impressive individuals, he was not that close with them either.For example, the forgery masters who worked specifically to deceive experts only accepted jobs from major clients, usually antique traders high in social status and wealth.In contrast, they wouldn't ever be interested in frivolous people like Zachary. Even if he could reach them, they might not look at him twice.If one would describe them as the cartel boss, then Zachary would be a low-level enforcer, managing night joints or goofing off.But now, Zachary had turned over a new leaf—he worked under Don Albert, so one of those masters was pleasantly surprised when he called one of them, inviting him to his own workshop for a visit and further discussion.As such, Zachary picked up Jacob and went over to the master's hideout where the latter worked on his count

    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
