Raymond was dumbstruck!He never would have imagined, not even in his wildest dreams, that the vase would transform into a more precious treasure after being restored by a few eggs!He pointed to Charlie and said, “Miss, this is the man who fixed the vase…”As Jasmine glanced at Charlie, she couldn’t help but wonder how such a young man would know the long-forgotten cultural relic restoration technique!Despite her doubt, she managed a polite smile and asked, “Hi, I am Jasmine Moore. How should I address you? May I know from whom you have learned the relic restoration technique?”Jacob, who was still shivering at the side, was dumbfounded when he heard Jasmine Moore’s name!The Moore family!The Moore family was the most elite family in Aurous Hill! Their influence was not comparable to those of Eastcliff’s elite families, but in Aurous Hill, they were at the top of the pyramid where no one could ever reach!He didn’t expect that he would meet one of their family members here!

Charlie nodded. “Understood.”The old man let out a deep sigh. Rubbing his face, he grumbled, “If I knew that you had such skill, I wouldn’t have rushed to you! Now, I’m not just tired to the bone, I was even slapped multiple times! Damn, how unlucky!”He then continued, “Is my face still red?”Charlie replied, “A little.”The old man grumbled once more. “Tell your mother that I ran into a pole if she ever asks.”Upon reaching home, Charlie immediately rushed to the supermarket to get some groceries and make dinner for the family.He then called his wife, Claire Wilson, in case she was craving for something. However, it turned out that she had to plan an upcoming project with Doris Young that night and so, she had invited Claire to have dinner at Emgrand Group.Upon hearing those words, Doris had tested him at the same time as well by saying, “Sir, the project is in progress, so your wife might be quite busy from now. I hope you don’t mind.”Charlie was an understanding person,

Upon arriving at Silverwing Hospital, Douglas could be seen lying on one of the beds in the ward, covered in wounds and bruises. There was a cast on his right leg as well, and he looked miserable. Charlie couldn’t help but sympathize. This fully grown man had been cheated on, had his heart broken, and was now covered in wounds. At the sight of Charlie’s arrival, Douglas’s swollen eyes began to tear up, tears flowing down his cheeks like a river stream.“Charlie…” Douglas broke down crying.Charlie approached him slowly and said softly, “It’s okay, she’s just a b*tch, she’s not worth it.” Douglas continued, “I pursued her for three years, basically throwing my dignity into the dumpster for her! I feel like a lowly dog trying to latch on to everything I could, but now, I realize that I’ve never had anything in the first place…” Douglas seemed to be choking on his tears. “That b*tch didn’t just break up with me, she wanted me to lose absolutely everything! I’ve spent every penny I

Lily scowled. “Stop this bloody nonsense. The restaurant has nothing to do with you. Don’t go hoping that I’ll pay you even one penny! That painting belongs to the restaurant, if you don’t hand it to us now, I’ll have to call the cops and report you for theft!”Jerome, who was standing next to Lily, scoffed as well. “Listen up, kid. I’d advise you to cooperate with us. My connections within Aurous Hill are not something you would like to challenge now, is it? If you don’t hand over the painting, I will just have to pay a visit to the public security bureau and they’d lock you up immediately! With what it’s worth, you will be sentenced to at least ten years of jail-time!”Douglas’s tears poured down like rain, and he questioned Lily, “I’ve been nothing but good to you for the past few years, I gave you everything I had! It’s fine if you don’t really love me, but why do you have to do this to me!?”Lily let out a cold chuckle. “Love you? Who are you to expect such a thing? Listen up d

Jerome immediately punched in a number on his phone and yelled into it, “Zaz, I’m in Silverwing Hospital right now. Bring along a few of your underlings, we have a brat to kill!”Charlie, on the other hand, didn’t bother calling anyone. Instead, he texted Albert Rhodes: [Come to Silverwing Hospital, someone is trying to kill me.]Don Albert immediately called him. “Mr. Wade, who is this son of a b*tch?”Charlie then replied dismissively, “Less talking, just come over.”Don Albert replied, “Don’t worry Mr. Wade, I’ll be there in a few minutes.”When Jerome realized Charlie was talking on the phone as well, he scoffed. “Hah, don’t tell me you had someone to come over as backup. What a joke!”Charlie ignored his remark and smiled. “As I said earlier, I’ll have the both of you die the most painful death.”Jerome laughed as though he had just heard the funniest joke on earth. “Who the hell do you think you are? No one in Aurous Hill dares to defy me!”Douglas, who was struggling t

Charlie then texted Isaac Cameron from the Shangri-La: [Who is this Jerome Hunt?]Isaac replied almost immediately: [His family runs a business, they’re mostly involved in the jade industry. They buy stocks or put them up for bidding. His power within the area is just as everyone claims as well. Why do you ask? Did he piss you off?]Charlie responded: [Yeah. I’ve already asked Albert to handle this. But I do need a favor from you.]Isaac replied: [Anything, young master!]Charlie ordered: [I need you to bring Jerome’s father to the hospital. Oh, and another old man who identifies antiques, his name is Lewis Rhys. Bring them to me.]Isaac replied: [Yes, young master, I’ll have them brought to you this instant!]Charlie then responded: [You don’t have to, just have someone else do it. I don’t want people to notice that we know each other.]Another text from Isaac showed up on his phone: [Alright then, young master. Do they need to be taught a lesson?]Charlie texted back: [Give t

Just as the voice echoed through the room, Don Albert, followed by Bill and a large group of men, entered the room.Upon entering, he ordered Bill, “Shut the doors, don’t let others in this room!”Bill nodded. “Understood, Don Albert!”Zazpi stared at Don Albert, still in shock. It was as if his brain had been short-circuited. It was Don Albert Rhodes!The underground overlord of Aurous Hill!Zazpi was just one of the mere leaders within the area. However, Don Albert was the overlord of this very area! Everyone within the city knew that Don Albert was the absolute power!He would never have expected that he would meet Don Albert just because he had been asked to handle such small matters for Jerome!Jerome didn’t know who Don Albert was, however, seeing how shocked Zazpi was, he furrowed his eyebrows. “Zaz, what is going on? Who is this old man?”As soon as he heard those words, Zazpi was so scared that he started trembling.In the next second, Zazpi had grabbed Jerome by t

Right then and there, Bill took a metal rod out and approached Zazpi. Although the latter tried to beg for his life, Bill did not hesitate to raise the metal rod above his head and swing it down at a great speed.Crack! Zazpi’s right kneecap was smashed into pieces instantly. Such a comminuted fracture was almost impossible to recover from! Zazpi yelped in pain, but Charlie did not stop there. “We’re not quite done yet. We have only broken one leg, he would still be able to limp with the other. I want him crippled forever!”Bill nodded and raised the metal rod once more, and in no time, another loud crack came from Zazpi’s left knee. Zazpi rolled on the floor, screaming for help, his body about to go into shock.Don Albert barked out an order. “Bill, shove something into his mouth. His loud whining is going to annoy Mr. Wade!”“Yes, Don Albert!” Bill complied and shoved a few pieces of gauze pads into Zazpi’s mouth as the latter was already curled up into a ball on the ground.

Jacob asked, "Then, what would this sculpture be worth if it was genuine?"Mr. Cardensky thought about it. "Well, there are standards when it comes to Renaissance relics, but with something this exquisite, it'd definitely be auctionable for one or two million—and that's the conservative estimate.""How much would you sell it to me for?" Jacob then asked."Thirty percent of the market price," Mr. Cardensky quickly replied. "As I've said, the conservative estimate for this one is around one to two million, so we will set the price with the median estimate value at 1.5 million. And thirty percent means 450 grand."Jacob shook his head right away. "No, no, no… that's too expensive. What if I end up unable to sell it, on top of that?"In his mind, while he could barely accept that pricing, he still needed Raymond to be able to afford it if he wanted to swindle Raymond for twice the money.Mr. Cardensky quickly chuckled, "Oh, Mr. Montague—now you're being too serious. In this business,

"Okay!"Mr. Cardensky smiled and pointed at a nearby farmyard. "There's our workshop—the good stuff is all in there. Allow me to take you there!"The farmyard seemed uninteresting at first glance, but Mr. Cardensky soon led them to the stables and brushed off the straws covering the floor, revealing a plank laid flat on the ground.Mr. Cardensky then lifted it, revealing a passage below—they had dug a cellar into the ground beneath, with the stables as an entry point.As Jacob followed Mr. Cardensky down the cellar, he exclaimed in awe, "Your operation is definitely big, digging such a huge cellar!"Mr. Cardensky smiled humbly. "Anyone working in the business would have sustained their losses before. In the end, we're all folk of humble origins, starting out with raiding tombs or excavating artifacts. Just digging a cellar is really nothing."As they conversed, they cleared the stairs and arrived at the main hall.It was certainly a hall as it was around a hundred square meters,

Zachary nodded repeatedly. "Mr. Montague? Very well!""Yes!" Jacob grinned smugly. "Longer last names are simply better—it just sounds so authoritative."With that agreed upon, both men alighted, where the master was waiting nearby.Seeing them get off, he hurried over to them, smiling, "Please, follow me."Zachary looked around and huffed, "Honestly, Mr. Cardensky, isn't this way too far from the highway? The road is narrow and terrible, and I have to park my car all the way out here. Just coming here is taxing."Mr. Cardensky smiled in turn. "My friend, that's exactly why we picked this place. Do you remember seeing a couple of cars parked by the road, occupying half of it?""We arranged for them to be there. Anyone coming by car would have to slow down that way, buying time for us to see who they truly are. If it's cops, our watchers would quietly text us while we clean the house and bail."Zachary exclaimed in realization, "You boys really run a tight ship!""For sure," Mr.

After working in Antique Street for years, Zachary's connections and influence were naturally special. And yet, though he was acquainted with some of the more impressive individuals, he was not that close with them either.For example, the forgery masters who worked specifically to deceive experts only accepted jobs from major clients, usually antique traders high in social status and wealth.In contrast, they wouldn't ever be interested in frivolous people like Zachary. Even if he could reach them, they might not look at him twice.If one would describe them as the cartel boss, then Zachary would be a low-level enforcer, managing night joints or goofing off.But now, Zachary had turned over a new leaf—he worked under Don Albert, so one of those masters was pleasantly surprised when he called one of them, inviting him to his own workshop for a visit and further discussion.As such, Zachary picked up Jacob and went over to the master's hideout where the latter worked on his count

Zachary was naturally shrewd enough to read Jacob's intention.In reality, he wasn't offering to pay just because he wanted the profit. He merely wanted to get in Jacob's good graces. After all, wouldn't Jacob be even more grateful that he wasn't just helping his revenge but also helping him make money?As such, he didn't hesitate to tell Jacob, "Well, chief—since you'll be paying, I will make sure that you will get every cent of profit that you deserve."Jacob was grinning ear-to-ear, but he said, "Oh, you don't have to! If we really are making a profit, there's no way I would let your good work go unrewarded!"Spreading his arms, he continued generously, "How about this? I will pay the full cost while you get twenty percent of the net profit!"Zachary laughed. "Now, that can wait, chief. We need to pay as soon as we decide on the item we want, and there's no time for buyer's regret. But if Raymond doesn't take the bait, all that money will go down the drain, and whether we can s

Zachary chuckled and continued, "Well, I went to Antique Street and asked around. Turns out our mutual friend only brought a few hundred thousand grand with him. If he messes up and loses all his money, won't it be over for him?""He won't just be broke either—he'd be humiliated and forced to fuck off from Antique Street. You'd get even then!"Jacob was at once excited.Just yesterday, Claire and Charlie were warning him that assault meant doing time.As the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association and the next presidential-hopeful, he would lose his place if he was charged with assault or being an accessory to a case.However, Zachary's plan was much better. Jacob wouldn't have to take responsibility, and the damage on Raymond would be even worse!In comparison, slapping Raymond meant nothing. Watching him go broke and get humiliated would really ease his heart!With that in mind, he promptly pressed Zachary, "Are you sure that prick will mess up?""I can't a

Jacob Wilson was in his office at the Calligraphy and Painting Association, planning his itinerary in Dubai.Still, he was immediately thrilled when Zachary told him that there was progress, and he quickly said, "Come see me at the Calligraphy and Painting Association. We'll talk in my office!""Alright!" Zachary agreed to it happily. "Just wait, Mr. Wilson. I'll be right there!"Jacob then quickly told him, "By the way, remember to address me as the vice president when you're here. Got it?"Zachary was naturally sharp enough to understand why, especially around other members of the Calligraphy and Painting Association.Smiling, he said, "Don't worry, chief. You can always be at ease when I'm on the job!"Once he hung up, he drove to the Calligraphy and Painting Association at top speed.There were just a dozen people around the dozens of work cubicles although Zachary was curious about the personal effects or office tools in the cubicles.After asking around, a staff member le

Then, Mick continued, "I won't lie—Moore Group's bean counters have been eager to get rid of Vintage Deluxe for a while now. It's only Miss Moore's insistence that keeps them at bay, even occasionally coming to check on how business is going. That means she holds sentiment for this place, but if she knows that Raymond is back and doing well, she might hire him again!"Zachary could laugh right then. After all, Mick was terrible at gathering information—he could worry about anyone taking his palace, but not Raymond. The man was fired because he had insulted Master Wade's father in-law, and Miss Moore was endlessly respectful—even obedient to Master Wade. There was no chance that she would hire Raymond back after what he had done, and Mick was just being paranoid.However, Zachary did not tell Mick that.As Mick was begging him to intervene and thus owing him big time, he would also be helping Jacob Wilson get even.Two birds with one stone, so why not?With that in mind, Zachar

Zachary then said, "By the way, I have some friends who have a lot of stock. How much capital do you have, Mr. Cole? I'll check if they have stuff that suits you, and you can partner with them."When Zachary asked how much capital, he was basically asking Raymond how much he would invest in his own business and how much he could spend on taking new stock as he was buying.As such, Raymond replied modestly, "I've been chasing my tail for a while, so I didn't earn more than a few hundred thousand. I definitely would have no issue taking items with rebates, but I'm afraid I can't afford premiums.""Alright!" Zachary nodded, having discerned the scale of Zachary's capital."I'll check on what's available and see if we can get a few personal deals."Raymond nodded. "Thank you, Zachary!"Zachary smiled, shaking his head. "Mr. Crane, please buy another fruit basket for Mr. Cole—I'll pay you later."Mick quickly said, "Oh, you don't have to, Mr. Evans! It's my pleasure, no worries!"Zach
