Marcus quickly took over Cain’s remark and exclaimed, “So, if I go to the Webb family, will the old coot want me to be his sugar daddy?”Cain snapped his fingers. “Aha! You don’t say, I think it’s very likely!”Marcus quickly said, “But, Dad, it isn’t okay! If the old coot calls us both dads, what about our generational difference?”Cain thought for a moment and answered, “Yes, what you said is true. I’ll be his sugar grandpa then, is that alright?”Marcus grinned coyly. “Sounds good to me!”Cain said, “In fact, everyone in the Webb family has some sort of fetish. Kian Webb loves eating shit, the old coot loves collecting sugar daddies, even Donald Webb has a fetish too.”“Really?” Marcus asked, “What is it? Does he like eating that sort of thing too?”“No,” Cain answered, “I heard that he was a cuckold when he was young.”“Cuckold? What does it mean?”“It means he has an adulterous wife and he enjoys it! In fact, the more men his wife sleeps around with, the more aroused he i
At this moment, Cain paused for a while and looked around uneasily, then he huffed a breath and continued, “Honestly speaking, Donald’s wife is really beautiful. She was known to be the prettiest in the South Region!”Marcus hurriedly asked, “Do you mean the cuckolding wife whom Donald wanted to sleep with 10,000 men?”“Yes, it’s her!” Cain said with a look of fascination, “I even dreamed of sleeping with her once! Imagine Donald Webb’s wife cheating on him with me, how cool is that?!”Marcus frantically said, “Dad, I heard that she’s okay with all men, may I join you too?”Cain laughed and said, “Of course, son! Let’s go now, shall we? It isn’t even 9 pm yet. If we drive now, we can reach Sudbury by midnight and that’s about time for Donald’s wife to take care of us!”“Wow, awesome!” Marcus grinned excitedly. “Let’s go now!”At this moment, Charlie pressed the stop button and nodded with delight. “Not bad, I think both of you have some talent in stand up. Alright then, you can s
Cain and Marcus Lloyd disappeared from their sight. Albert suddenly found Master Wade’s punishment amusing. He got the two men panicking for the rest of their lives without getting his hands dirty. It was the best punishment for them.At this moment, the five bodyguards were still laying on the floor of the Diamond Room.Albert asked, “Master Wade, what do you want to do with these men? Do you want to kill them, or…”Charlie clicked his tongue and asked, “Hmm, think. Do you have any good ideas?”Albert glared at Johnny with utter resentment and hatred.Never did he imagine that the Webb family would actually kill him.Thanks to Master Wade, he managed to survive. Otherwise, he would have already died in Johnny’s hands!Therefore, Albert’s hatred towards the Webb family had reached its peak in an instant.He wished he could just chop Johnny up into a million pieces right now!He turned to Charlie and said, “Master Wade, leave these guys to me!”Charlie asked curiously, “What d
Four words for the first guy;Five words for the second;Six words for the third;Seven words for the fourth.Since he was the fifth one, did that mean he had to have eight words carved on his forehead?There wasn’t enough space on his forehead for that many words!!Johnny burst into tears and pleaded while wiping his tears and snots, “Master Wade, please forgive me. I’ll be loyal to you, I’ll be your dog, I’ll follow your every demand…”Charlie replied flatly, “You don’t have what it takes to be my dog yet, but if you continue to blabber so much nonsense, I’ll let Albert feed you to his dogs! I always walk the talk, dare me!”Johnny instantly shut his mouth.He was genuinely afraid of Charlie!He didn’t dare blurt a word after Charlie’s threat for fear that Charlie would really kill him!At this moment, Albert picked up the knife from the floor, walked to the first guy, and asked, “Master Wade, what do you want to carve first?”Charlie thought as he said, “It has to be sho
After Johnny kept quiet, Albert dragged the third guy who had volunteered and asked, “Master Wade, what about this one?”“Sean Webb is a butt bandit.”Albert nodded. He relaxed his hand and started carving the six words on the man’s face.Then, it was the fourth guy’s turn.“Master Wade, this time, it’s seven words.”“Hmm… ‘Donald Webb is pathetically weak in bed.’”Albert couldn’t help but chuckle and said, “Master Wade, why can’t we be more direct? Just say he is impotent or has erectile dysfunction.”Charlie waved his hand. “It’s very sensitive, we can’t speak of it so directly, the girls will blush when they see it.”Very quickly, Albert was done with his artwork.The last one left was Johnny.Johnny stared in fear at his brothers and their bloody faces.He was a very proud and arrogant man. His unfathomable strength and power made him think that he was the strongest guy in the world and it slowly became his facade.However, he dared not blurt a word at this moment, oth
But who would know whether they were telling the truth or lying?Albert was a little annoyed by now. He slapped Johnny in frustration and shouted, “Just shut up, will you?! If I hear another whimper, I’ll carve a William Shakespeare play on your whole body!”The slap was so hard, Johnny’s eyes were blank for a short moment. He didn’t dare to blurt another word now, so he cried while enduring the sharp blade dancing on his face.He could feel the sensation of the blade cutting through the skin on his forehead and touching the skin. The immerse pain made him almost faint and the blood was constantly dripping from his forehead that he couldn’t open his eyes.He regretted everything he did today. If he had known what kind of a miserable ending that he would suffer, he would not have agreed to kill Albert regardless of how much Donald gave him…Unfortunately, there was no such thing in the world as a rewind button…At this moment, Donald’s five bodyguards became the human-sized billbo
Jacob had been watching silently from the corner as his son-in-law turned things around and brought about a radical change, reversing the course of events. He was extremely shocked.He could not understand how Charlie could be so strong nor why he had such a strong aura around him.This Charlie was completely different from the Charlie that was always being yelled at and reprimanded by Elaine at home.At this time, Charlie stepped forward before he asked, “Dad, are you okay?”Jacob hurriedly shook his head as he said, “Yes, I’m fine. Fortunately, you came in time. Otherwise, I would have suffered a very terrible fate…”Charlie smiled slightly before he said, “Dad, I am truly thankful that you are fine. I have already taught those people a lesson. Are you satisfied now?”“Satisfied! I am very satisfied!” Jacob nodded repeatedly. After that, he asked with a worried expression on his face, “Charlie, don’t you think that you were being a little too cruel just now? Aren’t you afraid t
Marcus’s mother did not dare to say anything else after she heard this. She knew that the situation was very serious. So, she hurriedly started to pack her belongings.Cain asked Marcus, “Check out the situation on TikTok. Has Charlie already uploaded the video of us on TikTok?”Marcus raised his hands as he said, “My cell phone is with Charlie. He used my cell phone to take the video.”“D*mn it.” Cain hurriedly took out his cell phone and threw it at Marcus as he said, “Hurry up and check out the situation on TikTok!”Marcus took his father’s cell phone in his hand before he started downloading the TikTok application on the cell phone.He scrolled through a few videos on TikTok and realized that there was no video of him doing a stand-up comedy with his father. Feeling a little relieved, he quickly told his father, “Charlie probably has not posted the video on TikTok yet.”“That’s good.” Cain nodded slightly before he said, “We should not delay this any further. Hurry up and pac
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
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!
