Qi Temple, Aurous Hill. At the northern foot of Mount Qi and in the valley on the north side of Qi Temple, there was a serene courtyard. This courtyard belonged to Qi Temple, but it had never been open to the public. Even the monks of Qi Temple had been told by the abbot not to approach it without permission. At this moment, dawn had just arrived in Aurous Hill. There was not much light in the mountains, and the whole valley was shrouded in fog, the sound of birds chirping in the valley. In the courtyard, a gorgeous woman was sitting cross-legged on the futon, gently twisting the beads in her hand. The woman was Ashley, Charlie's mother. A woman with a very short haircut came out of the blue brick house. She was Suzanna Sun, Ashley's subordinate. Suzanne walked up to Ashley, stopped, and said respectfully, "Ma'am, I have just received news that Mr. Charlie has returned to Oskia." "Oh?" Ashley opened her eyes and gasped in surprise, "The Four-Sided Treasure Tower has jus

With Charlie out of Aurous Hill, Nanako had been concentrating on her martial arts practice for the past few days. For the time being, she stayed in the dormitory at Champs Elys and occasionally went home to visit her father. Yesterday, Yahiko had asked Nanako to join him for dinner because he missed her very much. He had ordered his chef to prepare a sumptuous banquet, and they had dined together. Banquets were usually upscale and elaborate, and the course could take up to three hours. Hence, Nanako had decided to stay home for the night instead of going back to Champs Elys. In order not to delay the morning practice, she had gotten up early at dawn, washed up, and prepared to head back to Champs Elys. As the elevator went down to the basement, it stopped at the ninth floor, and a young woman about the same age as Nanako entered as soon as the door opened. Nanako stood idly. Meanwhile, the young woman whispered mysteriously on the phone as she entered the elevator, "Oh, I di

Hence, Nanako walked a little faster to follow up with the woman before her and began apologetically, "Excuse me, miss. I didn't mean to, but I overheard your conversation about an amulet with your friend. May I know where I can get a blessed amulet from Master Jeevika?" Slightly startled at first, the woman then smiled sweetly and said, "That's simple. Just go directly to the Transmission Office at Qi Temple and say you're here by invitation to visit Master Jeevika. The monks will take you to the Serenity Hall to wait. Not many people know about this, so if you go early, you should have a chance." "Wonderful!" Nanako thanked her profusely, "Thank you so much." "You're welcome," the woman said with a smile. "You live here too? We should be neighbors then." "Yes." Nanako nodded and said, "I live on the 21st floor." The woman smiled and replied, "I live on the 9th floor. I just moved in a few days ago. My husband is busy with work all year round, and he flies frequently, so I b

Hearing Ashley's lament, Suzanne couldn't help but chuckle. "What about Claire? What do you think about her?" "Claire..." Ashley was silent for a moment before explaining seriously, "At some point, she has done a favor for Charlie, but she has neither become pregnant nor had a child after four years of marriage, so I guess that their marriage is likely more show than substance. From the things Charlie has done for her, it's clear that he has been sincere toward her. Given this situation, the problem should lie with her." She then added, "She must have her reasons. It's not fair for me to doubt her, but does this also show that she doesn't love Charlie as much or that she doesn't love him as much as he loves her?" "You're right." Suzanne nodded. "I share the same thought. Mr. Charlie would be better off divorcing her and being with either Miss Golding or Miss Ito. I can tell that these two ladies love him very much." Ashley nodded slightly. She then donned a bitter smile and lam

As they talked, the roar of a helicopter engine and the spinning rotor echoed across the valley. "That should be Jeevika," Suzanna said. "Okay." Ashley nodded. "Let him come here to see me." A few minutes later, the helicopter landed in the open space outside the courtyard, and a monk in a cassock walked up to the gate. The gate happened to open at that time, and Suzanna looked at the monk as she greeted him with a smile, "Jeevika! Mrs. Wade is expecting you." The monk was Master Jeevika, who had become very famous in recent years. He was in his forties and had been a monk for less than twenty years, but with his profound understanding and unique insights into Buddhism, he had become a highly recognized and sought-after monk. He had preached everywhere over the years, not for any utilitarian purpose, but in the hopes of using the philosophy of Buddhism to guide people into leading an optimistic life. His main focus was on the depressed group of people. Over the recent y

On the way to Qi Temple, Nanako took her time while waiting for the red lights to carefully check Master Jeevika's background. The result was indeed astonishing. Jeevika was not only famous in Oskia, but his influence was beginning to spread among Buddhist believers in Asia. The overall review of him was that he was talented, kind, open-minded, and a genius in the field of Buddhism. She was even more surprised when she read that many temples in Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Bhutan, and so on had diligently invited Master Jeevika to visit their countries and preach Buddhism to the believers, but his lectures for the next year were all in Oskia, so he had not yet responded to their invitations. In addition, in the reviews of Master Jeevika by many well-known Buddhist preachers in Oskia and abroad, without exception, they all agreed that his understanding of Buddhism was the most profound in today's society. His preaching of many scriptures made even many experienced masters fee

The monk added, "The entire text of the Heart Sutra of Prajna Paramita is only 260 words, so it won't take long." Nanako asked hastily, "Could you please lend me a pen and paper? Also, I wonder if Master Jeevika could give me a minute to finish writing the Heart Sutra and meet him afterward." The monk smiled and answered, "Sure, I can lend you paper and a pen. You can meet Master Jeevika right now and copy the scriptures there. He will chant, bless, and consecrate for you at the same time. The effect will be the best." "Oh, thank you very much!" Nanako beamed. Then, she bowed at the monk respectfully. The monk returned the bow and then turned and entered the Transmission Office. After a while, he returned with a yellow brocade bag, paper, and pen. He carefully turned around, closed the door, and said to Nanako, "Please follow me." Nanako nodded quickly, and the monk escorted her to the temple's backyard. After passing through a mottled red brick wall, they reached the tem

At this time at the mountain villa, Suzanne watched everything that was happening in the hall on the monitor and snapped angrily, "Ma'am, he's trying to persuade Miss Ito to become a nun! Isn't that out of line?" "Don't worry." Ashley chuckled. "Since Jeevika achieved enlightenment, his heart belongs to Buddha, to the Dharma, and all sentient beings under heaven. Nanako herself has remarkable insight and spiritual roots. Even if it weren't Jeevika, any great Taoist master would likely wish to take her as a disciple. Why do you think I wanted her to be enlightened? Such a talent should not be left standing outside the door—it would be a waste. But knowing Nanako as I do, even if Jeevika were to forcefully persuade her using the world's population, she would never agree. So, you don't need to worry." Sure enough. Nanako unconsciously took a step back and apologized, "I-I already have a lover. How can I become a follower of Buddhism?" Ashley smiled and said, "Have you noticed the

"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,

Trippy grinned. "I mean, just look at my stall—ain't no way I'm getting any business here. Why not let me check out this item of yours? And see how interested they are? I'm really interested in learning and upping my game."Then, as if worried that Raymond would refuse, he quickly added, "Don't worry—I promise to stay in a corner and just watch."Still, Raymond could guess right then that someone must have sent Trippy to spy on him.It didn't matter whether it was Mick, Jacob, or Zachary either—they were all in this plot together, and one knowing meant all three knowing.Trippy was a gossiper in nature. If he was allowed to witness the whole process, everyone down Antique Street would definitely know before long.In fact, he could use someone like that right now, and Trippy had come straight to his doorstep.With that in mind, Raymond smiled, "Come join me if you're interested. It's not like there's anything to hide…"Pausing, he then warned Trippy, "But since you're going in my

After watching Mick's video, Jasmine's opinion of the man improved considerably.She was actually well aware that the decline of Vintage Deluxe was mostly due to Mick's incompetence.However, as Jasmine was now managing a billion-dollar company, she couldn't spare any time to ask many questions about Vintage Deluxe's performance. In her opinion, as long as Vintage Deluxe didn't lose too much money or ruin the reputation they had worked so hard to build, she wasn't interested in a regime change.It was the same mindset as Marianne Long, who begged her father to keep that lane full of food stalls in Hong Kong over sentiment.As such, seeing that Mick actually had some skill pleased her considerably.She couldn't resist checking out the comments of the video too.She saw that many were praising the manager of Vintage Deluxe for taking a tough stand against the scammer as well as how Vintage Deluxe's reputation was long-standing and without comparison.She soon noticed Jacob's comme

Soon, more collectors had gathered outside Treasure Measure even before Raymond showed up at Antique Street, with over ten of them gathered outside in no time at all.Since Raymond had only prepared ten slips, the rest left in disappointment seeing that they had no chance.Even so, the ten collectors who had gotten a number were nervous—save for the first man who had arrived.The details on the online sales post insisted that the price was fixed, and that first-come first-serve applies.If he bought the bronze sculpture, the other nine would have come all this way for nothing.However, if the seller decided to make it an auction, they would have a chance too, although their net profit would thin in turn. After all, they could have acquired the bronze sculpture for just 20 million, and that meant a solid 8 million in profit.An auction would at least raise the price to 27 million, and more would make it chicken feed.If they gave up at that point, it was a waste of a trip.If

Trippy naturally wasn't going to tell Mick everything word-for-word, so he said vaguely, "Uh, they were just being stubborn and refused to listen to anything I said. They kept saying that they wouldn't know until they saw the actual item."Mick got out of bed, staring at his phone as he mused to himself.This was getting a little ridiculous, was it not? A fool who was scammed, actually able to scam someone else? But if he really could sell it, wouldn't all their work be for nothing?With that in mind, he promptly called Zachary, who wasn't even up yet.Ever since he had started working for Don Albert, his daily routine was no longer the same as the days when he was a humble stall owner working on Antique Street, but a man of importance who slept late and woke up late.In the evening, he would be spending his time patrolling Don Albert's night entertainment properties as well as holding meetings with subordinates to decide on management policies and the like. That was why he wo

Seeing that Mick had a favor to ask, Trippy was naturally eager to seize the opportunity to get in his good graces."Don't worry, Mr. Crane!" He promptly replied. "Just leave it to me!"Returning to Treasure Measure, he went up to the first man who had come and said, "Hey, brother… Did you come to buy the bronze sculpture from Mr. Cole?"The man asked warily, "You know about the bronze sculpture?""Of course!" Trippy grinned. "I know all too well—it's actually famous here in Aurous Hill."Whipping out his phone, he played the short video that Mick had spent five grand promoting, saying, "Here—check this out!"Curious, the man took the phone and watched the video solemnly.The other latecomer soon hurried over as well and stared fixedly at the screen too.They watched as Bill entered a room with the bronze sculpture with Mick, the latter who checked it out and started commenting on it.The first man exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, it really is that bronze sculpture."The second ma

The other antique traders who were keeping tabs on the situation were left confused by Trippy's message.[Maybe even those out-of-towners know that Raymond is a sucker? So they traveled overnight just to see what happens?][I know Raymond is in trouble, but is it really worth traveling hundreds of miles just to watch?][Maybe they know he's a sucker, so they came to sell him more counterfeits?][Shit, that must be it! Suckers are rare these days, after all!][Damn straight! Just knowing that there's one in Aurous Hill, you'd be eager to come over.]Even Mick Crane who had just woken up and saw the message immediately sent a voice message: "Those conmen are just like flies flocking around shit as soon as they smell it.""Oh, but what they don't know is that Raymond has no more money! I heard he only had a few hundred thousand for the startup, and the bronze sculpture must have cost most of it. I'm afraid those people won't even get their gas money and toll costs back after travel

Trippy rolled his eyes as he texted back: [Hell no. I need to start my business instead of wasting my time. You morons can come get a number yourself if you like. Haha!]Still, Trippy had just sent his text when a trio arrived in a hurry outside Treasure Measure.Seeing that the doors were closed, the leader asked Trippy, "Excuse me, can I ask if this is Treasure Measure? Owned by a man named Mr. Cole?"Trippy was at once surprised. "You mean Raymond Cole?"The leader quickly said, "We don't know his first name, only that his last name is Cole, and his handle name was Treasure Measure's Mr. Cole."Trippy chuckled. "That'd be him. Has to be, since he hand wrote that shop sign."Pausing, he then asked in curiosity, "So, you've come to see him being a sucker?"The leader was naturally curious as to what Trippy was talking about. However, he was also reluctant to reveal why he had come since there was a killer bargain at stake. In fact, every other collector who was coming was k

Raymond also added that the 20 million price tag wouldn't be cut or increased. To put it simply, the bronze sculpture was right there in Aurous Hill and waiting—it was a race.Hence, many reputable collectors contacted expert appraisers throughout the night, some even booking night flights straight to Aurous Hill.The best amongst them was a fanatic collector of bronze items in Eastcliff.Following a brief exchange with Raymond online, he immediately called an expert who was also a close friend. As soon as his call was answered, he asked the other man if he had time to travel to Aurous Hill so that no one else would beat them to it—and they would drive out in the night if at all possible.After all, the earliest flight was at six in the morning, and it'd be eight by the time they made it to Aurous Hill Airport and nine by the time they got to Antique Street in a cab.Therefore, the ideal way to get there was by driving over six hundred miles at top speed, and that meant reaching A
