The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 5922
Jacob felt incredibly uncomfortable when he saw Charlie go upstairs, but he felt even worse as if it was no longer worth living when he saw Elaine's triumphant smile. As Charlie went upstairs, he couldn't help but sigh, wondering when his father-in-law would break through his hesitation and weakness and truly live the life he wanted.-After packing everything, Charlie left home alone at night, intending to drive to the airport. As soon as he took the elevator to the first floor, he saw Jacob, holding a cigarette, stand up from the sofa with a smile, saying, “My dear son-in-law, are you leaving now?”Charlie nodded slightly and said, “Yes, Dad. I'm leaving for the airport now.”Jacob rubbed his hands and was about to say something when Elaine suddenly limped down the stairs, saying loudly, “Oh, my dear son-in-law, let me see you off!”Both Elaine, who had received one million, and Jacob, who missed out on it, wanted to see Charlie off.Jacob wanted to find an opportunity to sub

Late night at Qi Temple.In a secluded meditation room that was closed to the public, a beautiful woman sat on a wicker chair, gazing up at the starry sky of autumn. A bald elderly woman emerged and placed a blanket over the woman's legs, saying respectfully, “Madam, Young Master's plane has taken off.”“He has left?” The beautiful woman looked toward the direction of the airport upon hearing this.Upon seeing some distant flickering lights in the sky, she couldn't help but sigh as she said, “I wonder which one of those shimmering lights belongs to the plane that my son is on.”She then asked the old woman, “Did Janus go with Charlie?”This beautiful woman was Charlie's mother, Ashley. The old woman beside Ashley was Jade Sun, who had disguised herself as a nun. Jade had been serving by Ashley’s side for many years, playing a role equivalent to that of a housekeeper.Jade then said to Ashley, “Madam, Young Master is indeed on the plane with Janus. Their plane flies fast, and it i

Janus said, “Not yet. I was in a hurry this time, so I didn’t tell him because I was worried that it wouldn’t be good if I couldn’t make time to come and see him.”Charlie smiled and said, “In that case, you don't need to call him. Let's just go over and give him a surprise.”“Okay!” Janus readily agreed, with clear anticipation in his expression. He couldn't help but say to Charlie, “Young Master, to tell you the truth, I've always treated Angus as my own son. It's been a while since I've seen him, so I really miss him.”Charlie understood completely.Janus had lived a very tough life in the United States in the past. In the earlier years, it was somewhat better with Jenna accompanying him and providing some comfort in tough times. However, after Jenna left, he was left alone, managing a roast goose stall with an illegal immigrant status. He was truly living a tough and hopeless life.For him, Angus was not just an orphan he adopted or an assistant, but he was more of a sustenanc
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 5925
Upon seeing Angus's nervous expression, Charlie, who had been silent all this time, immediately realized that the increasingly closer sound of motorcycle engines outside might be coming for Angus.At this point, Janus realized that Angus might have gotten into big trouble, so he asked sternly, “Angus, tell me the truth. Who have you offended?”When Angus saw that he could not conceal the matter any longer, he had no choice but to explain, “Uncle Janus, these people who are here are all from a new gang in New York…”Janus exclaimed, “Did you borrow money illegally?”Angus quickly explained, “No, Uncle Janus! They just took over Oskiatown a couple of days ago, and now, they're going door to door collecting protection money. It's three thousand US dollars a month, and if you can't pay, they'll beat you up and threaten to smash your shop.”Janus furrowed his brow and asked, “Hasn't Oskiatown always been managed by the Oskian gangs? It's been three hundred US dollars a month for protec

Charlie simply sat down and said with a smile, “To be honest, I have never seen gangsters collecting protection fees. This would be a good opportunity for me to witness it. Angus, go and get me a plate of roast goose rice so I can eat while I watch.” Angus hurriedly said, “Mr. Wade, they really dare to kill people! You should…”Before Angus could finish speaking, Janus interrupted him, patted his shoulder, and said, “Since the young master has already asked you to prepare a plate of roast goose rice for him, you should prepare it quickly. Make me a portion as well so I can taste whether your cooking skills have regressed.”At this time, five young black men dressed in trendy street clothes stepped in. The leader was thin and tall and wore a large hoodie, which covered his head and half of his face. His hands were in the horizontal pockets in front of the hoodie, and he looked like he was carrying a weapon. When the man came in and saw Angus, he immediately sneered and teased, “

“Damn it!” The man was furious when he saw that Charlie did not seem to be afraid and was even taunting him. He used the bottom of the pistol to push all the bottles and jars on the table to the ground, then stood up and held the muzzle of the gun against Charlie’s head as he cursed with a sinister expression, “Oskian! This is the United States! If you dare to cause trouble here, no one will let you go back to Oskia but will shoot you directly in the head with a pistol!”Charlie smiled and said, “You’re really arrogant,”After saying that, Charlie stopped smiling and said contemptuously, “Unfortunately, I’m not afraid at all.”The man clenched his teeth and said, “Damn it! You must be really tired of living!”Charlie spread his hands and said calmly, “I’m sitting here today, so regardless of whether it’s a burning angel or a wild dog in the crematorium, if you dare to come and challenge me, you will have to come and appease me. If you satisfy me, I might spare your life, but if I

No one dared to say otherwise when Charlie asked Homer’s father, grandfather, and even great-grandfather whether they were convinced that he had killed Homer. Now that a few gang members who did not know any better actually dared to threaten Charlie with a pistol, Charlie would never let them off easily. At this point, the leader stared at Charlie, but Charlie was not afraid at all. Instead, he looked at Angus and said, “Get me another plate of rice. This piece of trash wastes food, but I will make him kneel on the ground and lick all the grains of rice on the ground like a dog.”The man was on the verge of breaking down. He had already fired the pistol, but Charlie was still not afraid at all. This caused him to feel a little frustrated.He opened his mouth in an exaggerated manner, smacked his thick lips, and clenched his teeth in anger as he said, “Oskian! Since you’re courting death, I’ll send you on your way to meet God, then!”With that said, the man then pulled the trigge

The leader was already half dead, and he had lost all his ruthlessness at the moment. His face was full of fear and anxiety.Charlie looked at him and slapped him hard on the face.The sound of slapping echoed throughout the roast goose shop.Upon seeing the man's cheek swelling up quickly, Charlie smiled and said, “Are you really thugs? Burning Angel? Who gave you this name? Look at your red and swollen face. Do you have anything to do with angels?”The man felt great pain after getting slapped on his cheek, but at this time he could only cry and say to Charlie, “I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I didn't know you knew martial arts. Please let us go, and we will never come here again!”Charlie frowned and slapped him hard again.This crisp sound hurt the eardrums of the four people next to him.After Charlie slapped him for the second time, he asked him with a smile, “Weren’t you very fierce just now? Your pose when you held the gun in your hand was very cool. I saw that you wanted

Mr. Cardensky's forgery syndicate had made the bronze sculpture—all Zachary had done was talk Jacob into buying it, and Jacob himself had made some money after Raymond bought it.That meant the entire plot had nothing to do with Zachary as he was just a mediator at best.In other words, if the bronze sculpture was worth nothing, he didn't lose anything… although he wouldn't make a cent even if it was worth a hundred million.However, he also knew all too well what Jacob Wilson was like.In fact, in this world, he was only second to Charlie when it came to knowing what type of man Jacob Wilson really was—not even Claire or Elaine would win against them.He was a dead man.That was Zachary's immediate thought on the matter, should Jacob ever find out.After all, Jacob was precisely one of those people who didn't play by any rules—no buyer's regret? No seller's remorse? None of that applied to him.Not even the Gods could make Jacob offer a refund if he scalped them. And vice vers

As Mick Crane had established a corrupted hierarchy in Vintage Deluxe, he had to make sure his position was never threatened by Raymond Cole.That was why he wanted Raymond gone, and it was obvious from that how important self-gain was to him.However, though he plotted to protect this job with a salary of several hundred grand per annum and incentives worth just as much, he didn't think that doing so meant he had missed out on 20 million.And to add insult to injury, that 20 million had ended up in Raymond's pocket.Mick wasn't just thunderstruck—he wished he was dead.Hanging up on Trippy right then, he called Zachary directly since Zachary had told him earlier that text notifications from his number would be silenced.Zachary was just about to fall asleep when his phone began buzzing.Already annoyed when he picked up his phone, he immediately snapped at Mick when he saw who the caller was. "I told you! Text me if you have any updates, and I'll check it when I wake up! Why ar

As Ian Cash's trio turned and left Treasure Measure, Trippy was still standing there, staring blankly as they headed off to the distance, utterly dispirited.Seeing that, Raymond returned his phone and said coolly, "We had agreed on some ground rules, but not only did you break them, you even tried to sabotage me.""Since you refuse to be honorable, you can't blame me for being cold—starting now, we shall have nothing to do with each other. We'll be strangers even if we bump into each other."Trippy was already choking, and he snatched his phone back before dashing out of Treasure Measure, calling Mick Crane as soon as he left.Mick had just arrived at Vintage Deluxe and hadn't even sat down when Trippy called, and he asked as soon as he answered, "How did it go? What did you find out?"However, Trippy was so exasperated he burst into tears right then, "M-Mr. Crane… My dear Mr. Crane…"Mick was left reeling from shock, and he promptly snapped, "Can't you fucking talk? Why are you

Seeing that the transaction was complete and that the bargain deal had been taken, the other collectors all excused themselves and left.As for Ian, once he had bagged the bronze sculpture, he nodded at Raymond. "I apologize for leaving early, Mr. Cole, but I must return to Eastcliff. However, you can contact me again should you pick up another treasure. I'm quite a spendthrift, and I pay up right away if the item is good and the price is right."Raymond smiled. "Very well. I shall contact you first the next time I get something good."Ian nodded and was ready to leave with his two friends when Trippy chased after them."Please, Mr. Cash!" He cried urgently, his anxiety overcoming him. "You shouldn't buy that! It's a forgery!"Ian frowned at him. "Are you trying to sabotage Mr. Cole? Aren't you supposed to be his friend?""Hell, no!" Trippy promptly replied. "I'm no friend of his—I'm just here to watch, but I didn't think he dared to trick you for 20 million! I can't bear to see
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6498
No one except Raymond expected that the terms would be agreed upon so quickly.He was utterly confident in his judgment and even more so in his value appraisal.He was convinced that once they had a good look, any one of these collectors who could afford twenty million wouldn't miss this bargain.After all, an opportunity to secure an item worth millions more than the price they paid was very rare.In fact, when the other nine collectors heard that the first collector was buying it, it was only to be expected even if it left them all gloomy. They had all held the bronze sculpture in their hands—they knew it was definitely worth that much.However, no one in the room was more shocked than Trippy.He looked utterly flabbergasted, his eyes wide and bulging as he stared at the bronze sculpture while asking himself the same question repeatedly.Was that crap really worth twenty million? How?!While Trippy was still stunned, Raymond had already sent his payment details to the first

Unable to nitpick on the air stewardess' response, Elaine pouted, "Well, try to ask management to improve on your first-class cabins anyway. Maybe even make a premium-class or something since it's not like we can't afford it."The air stewardess quickly said, "We will definitely relay your message to the management."Nodding in satisfaction, Elaine waved her off. "Alright. You can go back to work now."Clearly relieved, the air stewardess bowed her head respectfully. "Always happy to be of service."After the air stewardess left, Jacob asked Elaine in curiosity, "Was the private jet that good?"Elaine rolled her eyes. "Didn't you see the stuff I posted in the chat group?""Not really," Jacob blurted. Elaine was ready to snap at him for not caring, but considering that they had made up now and she shouldn't fuss too much over the little things, she snorted, "Just remember to like and comment on all my posts in the chat group, otherwise, I will make you regret it!""No problem!"

While the ten collectors were taking turns studying the bronze sculpture, Jacob and Elaine were boarding their flight.As they were flying first-class, they had priority over the other passengers and boarded from the separate plug door at the first-class section.The capacity of the Boeing 777 was huge, and the wide-body aircraft could be connected to a special double corridor bridge where first class and business class passengers boarded separately from the economy class passengers.As the terminals to economy class and business class were connected, Elaine and Jacob were able to get through the first-class terminal unimpeded, but the passengers in economy class had a queue of over two hundred passengers. Even as she walked, Elaine was looking over her shoulder and exclaiming at Jacob, "Must be nice being rich! We used to have to queue like the rest of them, waiting for over thirty minutes just to board our flight." "In first class, we may be in the same plane, but we don't hav

Meanwhile, once Raymond had briefed everyone about the rules, he opened the door and invited everyone into Treasure Measure.It was not that wide but appeared spacious since the interior was mostly empty—it was not really crowded even with thirty-ish people.Then, locking the door from the inside, Raymond told them, "I can tell from everyone's faces that we are all veterans here, so I'm sure you understand the rules while appraising: no photos or videos, thank you very much."Indeed, there were many rules that governed the hobby, the most important being respecting the seller's requests and privacy.As the collectors listened, they knew that Raymond was selling but did not want the public to know too much about him.They all nodded, and those who had their phones out slid them back into their pockets.With that, Raymond took out the bronze sculpture that he had brought, leaving Trippy a little surprised.He had never seen the bronze sculpture with his own eyes before, only from

"Alright!" Trippy was at once fawning, tagging along behind Raymond like a little child.Around thirty people were waiting in front of Treasure Measure by now. The collectors came in twos or threes, and all ten numbers had since been taken.Before Raymond arrived, he had a brief look at the collectors' faces through the security cameras before walking over, and he was really relieved to see no familiar faces.Having traded Oskian antiques for years abroad, it was only natural that he was acquainted with some of the elite collectors in the country.He also knew that they were especially demanding with the quality of their collection and wanted almost flawless items. As such, the bronze sculpture which had been completely lost wouldn't interest them.Still, he was also a little concerned that amongst the elite collectors he knew, there might be some who were losing money and losing purchasing power in turn. If they happened to take an interest in the bronze sculpture on top of that,
