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

The car finally arrived at Shangri-La.Alas, the five men could not even open the car door on their own.The Shangri-La hotel staff usually looked down on all rental cars. Therefore, they rarely opened the car door for any guests who arrived at the hotel in a cab. When they saw the cab, they deliberately acted as though they could not see the car at all, refusing to step forward to open the car door for them.There was a moment of awkward silence in the car. At this time, Johnny suddenly yelled at the cab driver, “D*mn it! Are you blind?! Don’t you know how to open the car door for us?”The cab driver was a little annoyed, and he said, “Then, you should pay me the cab fare first. You told me that you would pay me ten thousand dollars for this trip.”Johnny replied, “Help me open the car door first. After getting off the car, you can take the money from my pocket by yourself. I cannot move my arms right now because my arms are injured.”The cab driver got out of the car before he

When the captain of the security team at Shangri-La hotel saw this scene, he quickly led a group of men with him as they rushed over to stop them. He then said coldly, “Guys, do not cause trouble at the entrance of the Shangri-La hotel. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not giving you face!”Johnny knew that Isaac Cameron, the boss of Shangri-La, had a very strong and influential background. Therefore, he hurriedly stopped his men before he said to the cab driver, “You are very fortunate today! You’d better be more careful in the future. Otherwise, I will kill you!”After he was done speaking, he stepped up as he tried to bring his men into Shangri-La with him.Just as they were about to enter, the security guards quickly stepped up to stop them. After that, the lobby manager hurriedly came over and said, “Sorry, gentlemen. You are all indecently dressed and poorly groomed. According to our hotel regulations, you cannot enter our Shangri-La hotel!”As soon as he heard the manager’s wor

After Johnny and the other four bodyguards had left, the scene in the lobby was a complete mess.The lobby manager of Shangri-La and the team of security guards were all lying on the ground with serious injuries inflicted upon them. Their face and noses were all very swollen, and they looked very miserable at this time.One of the security guards struggled to stand up as he hurriedly rushed over to help the lobby manager up from the ground. At this time, he could not help but ask, “Manager, what should we do now?”The lobby manager quickly replied with a cold expression on his face, “Hurry up and bring all of our men to the hospital immediately. I will go and look for Mr. Cameron! I am certain that Mr. Cameron will not let them off so easily since they actually dared to cause trouble at Shangri-La!”Then, the lobby manager started limping toward Isaac’s office.At this time, both the father and son, Donald and Sean, were still waiting at the presidential suite of the Shangri-La ho
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 728
Sean subconsciously took a few steps back. After that, Johnny and the rest of their men gathered upall their courage and they had a downcast expression on their faces as they entered the presidentialsuite like defeated dogs, with their lowered heads and broken arms!Donald was stunned when he saw the five men walking into his room. He lost his grip of the teacup in his hand and dropped it to the ground in shock…Donald stared at the five men in shock and was dumbfounded. “You… you… what happened?! What happened to your foreheads? Why is it all bloodied and covered in blood? This… why does it look like someone has written something on your foreheads?”Since the five men had their heads lowered, it was rather difficult for Donald to make out the words that were carved on their foreheads.Johnny immediately took a step forward and plopped down to the ground with a thud as he knelt in front of Donald and said sincerely, “Mr. Webb, I am sorry for not getting things done! Please give m

At this time, the lobby manager who had been kicked half to death by Johnny staggered through the door of Isaac’s office with the help of several employees.The lobby manager opened Isaac’s office door. As soon as the lobby manager entered Isaac’s office, Isaac immediately saw that he was covered in injuries. He blurted out, “Mr. Zelmer, what happened?!”Mr. Zelmer spoke indignantly, “Mr. Cameron, some of the bodyguards working for the Webb family in Sudbury broke into our hotel! They even beat me and our team of security guards up in the hotel lobby!”“What?!” Isaac frowned before he asked, “What happened exactly? Donald Webb and his son are both staying at the presidential suite in Shangri-La. This means that their bodyguards are also staying in the presidential suite with them. So, why did they have to fight and beat all of you up to break into the hotel?”Mr. Zelmer hurriedly explained, “The situation is pretty complicated. It seems as though the five bodyguards have just gotte

Charlie nodded slightly.After that, his father-in-law went and smoked his cigarette. So, Charlie sat in his car as he answered the phone call.After the phone call was connected, Isaac hurriedly said, “Mr. Wade, I heard that you had a conflict with the bodyguards from the Webb family?”Charlie nodded slightly before he said, “Your information is really quite timely!”Isaac hurriedly replied, “Mr. Wade, I heard that these five people were causing a scene and making trouble at Shangri-La. I only found out about this matter after sending someone to investigate and check it out.”After that, Isaac quickly explained what had happened when Johnny and the other bodyguards had arrived at Shangri-La.After listening to Isaac’s words, Charlie replied coldly, “Those five dogs. I never expected them not to learn their lesson at all. I thought that they would have learned their lesson and tried to be more low-key in the future. However, I really did not expect them to use their legs to cause

Even though Donald was a billionaire, he was not a generous person.In other words, in his eyes, he should not waste or spend any more money that should not be spent.This was exactly what he felt as he looked at Johnny and the other four men.The five of them had already broken their arms and could not even open the f*cking car door on their own anymore. What was he going to do if he continued keeping them by his side?Their salaries were ridiculously high. If he continued to retain them, he would only be doing charity if he fed them until they were old.Therefore, Donald felt that he should drive them as far away as he could, as soon as he possibly could.The farther they went, the better it would be for him.In truth, Donald did not even want to pay them the five hundred thousand dollars severance pay at all.Therefore, he could not help but feel as though he was already being very generous toward them.However, Johnny and the other bodyguards did not feel the same way!Th

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
