Cain said with an arrogant grin, “Mr. Webb brought me in! To tell you the truth, I am now the Webb family’s man. As far as I’m concerned, no one here has the power and influence to go up against the Webb family, right? The Webb family is so much more powerful than all of you combined! If you dare touch me, you are literally provoking the Webb family!”Cain looked very cocky and triumphant. He knew that by mentioning the Webb family, no one would dare to do anything to him.When he glanced around him like an almighty cock, he saw a black shadow flash past him suddenly, and before he could react to it, his face was slapped hard!He felt as though the sky had grown dark and starry after being slapped, and he stumbled backward from the great force. After managing to compose himself and stand still, he lifted his gaze and saw that the person who had slapped him was none other than Charlie.Charlie plastered a wide smile on his face and said flatly, “I couldn’t be bothered if you didn’t

Sean was extremely infuriated when he heard Charlie insulting his family, so he turned and rushed down the stairs to confront Charlie.Meanwhile, Jasmine glared at Cain and his swollen face in disdain and gestured for her bodyguards.She pointed at Cain when the bodyguards arrived and demanded, “Kick this guy out! Break his legs if he dares to come in again!”“Yes, Ma’am!”The bodyguards marched forward, grabbed Cain, and was about to drag him out of the yard when a chilly voice echoed from the house.“How dare you! Let him go!”With his hands behind his back, Sean walked down the stairs slowly, indifference and anger imprinted on his face.Initially, he had wanted Cain to cause a scene and humiliate Charlie in order to drag him down, making him look bad in front of Jasmine.However, he did not expect that Charlie would be so arrogant. He had slapped Cain twice on his face without any concern to the Webb family!This was not the worst humiliation yet!The worst thing Charlie

Sean sneered in disdain. “Jasmine, don’t say I didn’t warn you. This guy insulted the Webb family and bit our dog. Even if Lord Moore comes to talk it out, we won’t let him off so easily!”Then, he pointed at Cain and shouted to Charlie, “I’ll forgive you temporarily if you kneel before my dog and apologize, and then kneel before me and apologize again!”Cain was over the moon when he heard it. He would wag his tail if he had one!He was thankful that Sean had stood up for him after he had been slapped twice! So, while covering his swollen cheek, he strode to Charlie and said arrogantly, “You heard him, right? Kneel before me right now!!”Charlie snorted contemptuously, and then, in a split second, he stretched his arm out, grabbed Cain’s neck, and lifted him upward!Sean watched the scene with wide eyes, completely dumbfounded!Never did he expect that Charlie could lift a 150-pound man with one arm, his feet suspended off the ground!Cain could only feel a strong force strangl

The mockery and laughter made Sean see red, and he clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles popped continuously!He glared at Charlie and exclaimed, “Dude, don’t say that I never gave you a chance to repent, you did this to yourself! My family will not let you go, you’ll never see tomorrow’s sun rise!”Before Charlie could say anything, Jasmine shouted, “Sean Webb, how dare you!”Sean huffed coldly, “Why not?! Did you think I would let my family be insulted in a shabby town like Aurous Hill just like that? Let me tell you! Everyone in Aurous Hill must bow to the majestic Webb family!”Jasmine’s face darkened in dismay, and she demanded, “Sean, you are not welcome here. Please get out!”“What? You want to kick me out?!” Sean looked at Jasmine, shocked, and scornful. “You want to kick me out because of this deadbeat loser?!”Jasmine said firmly, “Yes! I’ll say it again, please get out!”At this moment, Reuben, Jasmine’s cousin, came out of nowhere and hurriedly persuaded th

Could it be…Could it be…Could it be the Rejuvenating Pill that Anthony had taken?!Lord Moore had been dreaming of getting a chance for Charlie to bless him with one of the Rejuvenating Pills so that he could indulge in the intense feeling of going back in time, borrowing more time to stay alive and helping the family go further.However, if there was one thing he had learned throughout his long life, it was that chances were hard to come by!He dared not go to Charlie for the pill for fear that Charlie would find him repulsive, thus, he could only wait patiently for the right moment to come.Initially, he thought that this rare chance would only come by when Jasmine and Charlie had made substantial progress in terms of their relationship.But now, from the way Charlie put it, he felt as though Charlie might truly have prepared the pill as a birthday gift for him.He wasn’t sure and did not dare to ask him directly, so, he bowed at Charlie as he suppressed the excitement and

In Lord Moore’s opinion, Charlie had always been the best candidate for the son-in-law of the Moore family.With his eighty years of life experience, he knew at a glance that Charlie was extraordinary!Charlie was the first man he recognized to possess powerful abilities that were comparable to a true dragon on earth!In addition to the wonderful effects of the Rejuvenating Pill, he was more convinced of Charlie’s ability and wanted to lean on him.Establishing a good relationship with the Webb family was nothing more than diversifying more routes to make even more money for the family.However, the Moore family was considered rich even though they were not as wealthy as the Webb family.There was not much difference between a net worth of 100 billion dollars or 200 billion dollars, it only equaled one thing—they already owned more money than they could spend.Moreover, for Lord Moore, money was no longer important. Lifespan and health were the most important of all!Therefore,

Jasmine was the best candidate as his son’s wife!Donald was a little hesitant and indecisive when he thought of it.Following Donald’s gloomy silence, the atmosphere turned into an awkward reticence.Reuben secretly punched his knuckles in dismay when he witnessed this awkward scene.If both families fought and generated an irreversible crack or in the worst-case scenario, turned against each other, it would undoubtedly be a massive blow to the Moore family!More importantly, Jasmine would be even more unlikely to marry Sean!If Jasmine didn’t marry him, his position as the future heir would be unstable!Even if he was appointed as the head of the family, Jasmine might have a part in the family’s inheritance!He was determined to not let Jasmine stay with the Moore family, and so, he would definitely oppose strongly for Jasmine to marry Charlie and let him live in their house!Therefore, he hurriedly stood up to lighten the mood and said, “Hey, Uncle Webb, Sean, today is my g

The crowd started to walk toward the banquet hall where the birthday celebration was about to begin.Lord Moore exchanged a few words with Charlie and went to sit at the main seat.Sitting next to him was his eldest son, third son, and fourth son.Among the second-generation heirs of the Moore family, Reuben’s father was the eldest son, and Jasmine’s father was the second son, but he had died young, hence, Jasmine was the only one left in this line.As for the family of the third and fourth sons, they were relatively young and their children were still in the teenage or elementary school age, thus, they were not considered in the inheritance competition.The rest of the guests sat down at their assigned tables.Charlie sat with the Quinton family, the White family, Albert, and so on.Donald and Sean were sitting with a few local families. Some of them were families who were busy buttering them up, and they surrounded the Webb family’s father and son, continuously flattering them

While Jacob was feeling delighted after pulling off his con, Raymond had posted details of the bronze sculpture online.The website he was using was the biggest platform for antique collectors and the antique trade where each user could set a favorite tag in the antique category and era. If a user who preferred canvas art pieces of the Tudor dynasty set that label as their favorite, they would immediately be notified with text or desktop notifications in regards to any item with the same label.As medieval bronze sculptures were rare in the first place, most who were interested had already set that label on their favorites and were immediately notified soon after Raymond posted pictures of the bronze sculpture online.The collectors were naturally eager to check it out as gilded sculptures of the medieval era were really rare, and most collectors would go a lifetime without picking one up for their collection.On top of that, the seller had even listed a major flaw and was only ask

"Nope," Jacob chuckled. "We were both working separately and just happened to get back in at the same time."Then, he immediately became smug and excited, "Guess what, dear? I made 200 thousand out of the deal! In net profits!""For real?!" Elaine gaped. "200 thousand in just one night?! That's amazing! How did you do that?"Claire was surprised to hear that too, and she came over to ask, "What deal was it, Dad?"Jacob grinned, "Oh, it's nothing to brag about. It's just that I managed to pick up a nice antique item thanks to my wisdom and then sold it for 200 thousand."Pausing, he then sighed in dismay, "However, the buyer wasn't too rich—I would have squeezed him for 400 thousand, but he couldn't afford more, so I had to settle for less."Elaine quickly exclaimed, "Shit, we're talking about a loss of 200 thousand! People would work a year and still never earn that much…"She trailed off for a moment before asking, "By the way, dear—are we still flying out first thing tomorrow?

Jacob laughed. "Put that issue behind us? Sure, but we're not becoming friends. Hell, I can't even hold a grudge now that you're shit out of luck."Then, his tone changed sharply and suddenly became icy, "But you see, Aurous Hill is not a place you can stay just because you want to. No… After this, you're not going to be able to make a living in the antique trade.""If I were you, I'd be running a thousand miles away, far away from Aurous Hill where no one would know my face to start over. That way, you just might be able to make a living."Raymond simply kept smiling, "You need not be concerned about how I'm going to survive here, Mr. Wilson. I'd be very grateful if you'd cease any form of harassment once you leave my premises."Jacob pursed his lips, staring at Raymond in disappointment. "I'm plenty magnanimous, so I won't stoop to such pettiness. Just do whatever you like!"Clicking his tongue, he huffed, "Tut, tut… And here I'd thought you're tough, but you're just yet another

Raymond chuckled at the title, humble as ever, "The Duke of Wastage? Now, that's quite the royal title, and I don't think I deserve such an honor…"Trailing off, he then made an especially curious look, "By the way, how'd you know they were calling me that?"Seeing that he was still so ignorant, Jacob scoffed. "You bought a Renaissance-era bronze sculpture earlier, didn't you?"Raymond nodded. "I did. But technically, it's medieval and not Renaissance, along with a Renaissance-era base."Jacob clutched his stomach as he laughed, "Oh, please! Medieval? Hahaha… You're killing me, Mr. Cole!"Raymond kept a serious look on his face. "It's really medieval. Why don't you take a look?""No way," Jacob snorted, pursing his lips. "Anyway, word has already spread that someone was selling a counterfeit bronze sculpture to defraud Antique Street for some serious dough. He went first to Vintage Deluxe, but their manager, Mr. Crane, saw through it and didn't buy it… and then he came to you, an

That was why most of the collectors only knew that such an item existed but they did not know in whose possession it was.After registering a new account and paying the ten thousand registration fee, Raymond got in.It was very safe as it was anonymous, and he posted a photo of the bronze sculpture and an announcement with an asking price of twenty million.In his opinion, it wasn't that expensive—if it was still gilded, it would be worth around a hundred million. Without it, it was plenty reasonable to cut the price down to just thirty million.And Raymond was cutting another ten million off that, so twenty million was plenty reasonable.Moreover, medieval bronze sculptures were exceedingly rare, and less than one specimen showed up annually at times. Collectors who desired it would therefore be willing to break the bank for it, and that was why Raymond was sure that someone would put in an order once he posted it.As he wrote the summary of the item, someone knocked on his door

Jacob frowned in disdain. "Why would I be worried? He's no longer the manager of Vintage Deluxe, and he just lost a shit ton of money for messing up his appraisal. I am also the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, so why would I be worried about some loser who will soon be kicked out of Antique Street?"Straightening his collar, he snorted coldly, "I am now going to see Raymond Cole and humiliate him face-to-face! He thinks he's impressive, doesn't he? Let's see how he will keep up that facade!"Zachary chuckled, "Yes, exactly! People like him need to be given a slap in the face! As hard as you can! Don't worry—I'll be right behind you. If he gets physical, I'll rush in to help. If he doesn't dare to start a fight, you just insult him as much as possible!""Good plan!" Jacob nodded since he was concerned that Raymond might get physical when pushed too far.And with his body, there was no way he could beat anyone…Spreading his arms, he exclaimed, "Come! I'l

Mick inspected every video to see who was getting the most views, and he then paid out of his own pocket to use paid advertising to get the video viral.It cost five thousand and it hurt, but reaching the trending page was definitely worth it.Mick was quite shrewd too, making sure that the paid advertising was focused locally. After all, he knew all too well that five thousand didn't buy many clicks, and clicks from elsewhere might be too sporadic to gain any worthwhile attention.As he worked in Antique Street, he naturally had to come up with a plan to promote himself in this place, ideally presenting himself as a master appraiser.That way, his fame would slowly extend throughout the province and perhaps Eastern Oskia, and eventually the country.As such, focusing on Aurous Hill was the best idea.Moreover, he also had another idea—if Jasmine Moore happened to see this video, she would see him in a new light.When that happened, he could look forward to getting really rich!
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 6478
Soon, the video of Mick's staged act was uploaded to the online group, and everyone eagerly watched it as soon as it was done uploading.Mick certainly set a new bar with his acting as none of them could see that it was an act.Moreover, everyone could see that the bronze sculpture looked like the real deal, and they might have been swindled if it were them.As such, they couldn't help being impressed as Mick had easily seen through Billy's con, and he was the definition of a pro in that video.No matter how Billy had packaged it, there was no tricking real experts like Mick Crane. Just a quick glance and he had seen through that it was a postmodern replica, matched with a base from the Renaissance era to misdirect and beguile.With that, many fellow antique dealers changed their opinion of Mick.After all, Vintage Deluxe's business had been declining after Mick took over as manager, and people were presuming that his skills were lacking.But now, they were all shown that he had

"Amazing, Mr. Crane!""It's Mr. Crane who shines through, in the end! His eyes see through everything!""I guess Miss Moore made the right choice firing Raymond and appointing Mr. Crane! Mr. Crane is infinitely better!"Mick was immediately thrilled to see them fawning over him, and he laughed, "You flatter me—I'm merely sharing my personal perspective on this. In this trade, anyone who knows would understand how hard it is to get the good stuff in this age of technology.""There are plenty of people who hold ulterior motives and change their tactics knowing that there are always those scheming to get their hands on vintage treasures, so they just have to make it. That is how they started making counterfeits of everything, from scrolls to sculptures to statues, each of them so real just to trick those fools who think they could get rich overnight!""Exactly!" Someone promptly agreed. "There's never a lack of any such fools, and I just happened to meet one. I had this piece of jade
