Donald was on the verge of collapse!He knew that he was entirely powerless now! After coming to Aurous Hill, he was not able to uncover the identity of the culprit who had harmed his second son. Instead, both he and his eldest son had lost one of their legs each…Right then, Isaac’s men walked up to Donald and grabbed hold of his right leg, hitting his kneecap directly… Donald felt an extremely sharp pain in his right knee, and he felt as though he was about to pass out from the pain.Donald ground his teeth to stop himself from screaming out loud in pain. However, he could only endure the severe and excruciating pain for less than ten seconds before he let out a loud and horrifying cry!Isaac glared coldly at Donald before he snorted in disdain. “Who do you think the Webb family is? You actually have the audacity to act rashly on the Wade family’s territory? This is just a small punishment to teach you a lesson today! If you dare to offend the Wade family again in the future, t

Donald trembled in fear before he turned around and asked nervously, “Mr. Cameron, do you have any other orders for us?” Isaac pointed at Johnny and the other four men who were lying on the ground before he said coldly, “I want the both of you to drag these five dogs out of this place right now! I do not want them to dirty my Shangri-La any further!”“I…” Donald felt very anxious and felt as though he was going to vomit blood! It took him a moment to come to his senses before he blurted out, “Mr. Cameron, I have already told you that the five of them have nothing to do with the Webb family any longer. You can do whatever you want with them. You can even kill them if you want to.”Isaac replied coldly, “Did you forget what I just said earlier? These five men have works of art engraved on their foreheads. I want you to bring them back to the Webb family mansion with you. I want you to make sure that you wait on them and treat them well for the rest of their lives. You cannot allow

After Donald’s complete compromise, the injured and crippled father and son could only try desperately to carry Johnny and the other four bodyguards out of the Shangri-La hotel. Both of them were already crippled, but Sean was in an even more miserable state. He had a broken hand and leg. Therefore, it was extremely difficult for him to carry the five men out of the hotel. The father and son could only use all of their strength and effort to drag Johnny out. They could not help but pant from the exhaustion with every step they took.They were not only extremely tired and exhausted, but their broken leg was also hurting terribly.At this time, neither one of them dared to say anything or make any noise at all. They could only grit their teeth as they persisted in dragging those five men out.Isaac crossed his arms in front of his chest as though he was enjoying a good show in front of him. He simply watched as the father and son exerted all of their strength to drag the five men

At this time, Kian, who had been at the Webb family mansion in Sudbury, suddenly gave Donald a call. He had just regained his consciousness after finishing his extra meal. Kian called his father regardless of the horrible and foul stench in his mouth. Donald did not expect to receive a phone call from his youngest son at this time.After all, the latter had been very depressed during this period. Every time he finished eating his meal, he would only feel like dying and committing suicide. He was in a very decadent state, and he did not want to see or talk to anyone at all.Donald could not understand why his youngest son would be calling him at this time.Could it be because Kian had heard about what had happened to him and his eldest son? Did Kian call him to comfort him?Donald could not help but feel somewhat relieved as he thought about this.However, as soon as he answered the call, he could hear Kian’s extremely flustered voice over the other end of the line. “Dad!

Donald was not the only one who was furious!Even Sean was very angry at this time! Cain and Marcus were simply insulting and trampling all over the entire Webb family by posting their ‘stand-up comedy’ on the internet. This was absolutely humiliating!Moreover, both the father and son were still insulting them after all of the humiliation that they have already suffered!This was completely unacceptable!The father and son actually publicly posted the video of their ‘stand-up comedy’ on the internet!The Webb family was the top and most influential family in the entire South Region. Therefore, they had a pretty huge reputation and face in the country. This video was publicly mocking, satirizing and insulting the entire Webb family! Furthermore, this video was gaining so much popularity amongst the netizens!On one hand, the netizens were all very curious about the origins of these two men who had words engraved on their foreheads. Who were they? How could they possibly be so s

However, just as the number of likes on the video had exceeded one and a half million likes, there was suddenly a prompt on the TikTok account: ‘Your account has been permanently suspended for posting illegal contents!’Charlie frowned as soon as he saw the message.What the hell? Permanently suspended?Charlie immediately took out his own cell phone and tried to search for the stand-up comedy video between Cain and Marcus. At this time, he realized that the entire video had already been deleted from the internet!Charlie then realized that this must have been done by Donald. He must have spent some money to deal with his public relations crisis!Truth be told, Charlie had not expected Donald to use this method to curb the spread and circulation of this video. He could not help but feel a little annoyed at this time.After thinking about it, Charlie used his cell phone to call Stephen Thompson who was far away in Eastcliff.Isaac Cameron was one of the many spokesmen of the W

As Donald finally heaved a huge sigh of relief because the video on TikTok had already been deleted, he would never have dreamt that the TikTok video platform had already completed their transaction with the Wade family from Eastcliff. At this time, the Wade family from Eastcliff wholly owned the TikTok video platform which they had acquired for eighty-five billion dollars.Before the news was officially released, the Wade family had already begun to take over the operations of the TikTok video platform.The first thing they did was to restore Marcus’s deleted account. At the same time, they also restored the video that had been deleted.Immediately afterward, the technicians set it up so that this video would pop up directly on the home screen of all the users on the TikTok video platform across the entire country!Donald did not know that things had already taken a one-hundred-and-eighty-degree turn at this point. As he was waiting for the helicopter to arrive, he suddenly rece

Even though the Webb family also has an assets amounting to two hundred billion dollars, they did not have so much cash on hand. The amount of cash that they had on hand probably amounted to less than ten billion dollars. A household was like a family. If a family had two million dollars’ worth of assets, it did not necessarily mean that they had two million dollars in cash. They could own a house worth one million three hundred thousand dollars, a car worth two hundred thousand dollars, and certain other miscellaneous things worth two hundred thousand dollars. Finally, they would have about two hundred thousand dollars in cash.That way, all of their assets and cash would eventually add up to two million dollars.Therefore, even though the Webb family had a net worth of two hundred billion dollars, they did not have that much cash on hand.If they were to buy the TikTok video platform for eighty five billion dollars, they would have to sell almost half of their assets to do so.

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
