The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 965
Although the Porsche was a luxury car brand, an ordinary Cayenne was just over a million.German’s Volkwagen was considered a common car brand too, however, the Phaeton was a very rare and expensive model.The top-spec Phaeton was worth more than two million dollars which were equivalent to the top-spec Audi A8, Mercedes-Benz S-Class, and BMW 7-Series.Earlier, Max was so taken aback by the Porsche Cayenne’s logo that he had instinctively tried to crash into a cheaper car. When he saw the Phaeton, he only recognized the Volkswagen logo and the car looked like a cheap Passat, so he ran into it swiftly.Never did he expect that it had turned out to be the underrated Phaeton…When he thought of the car’s price tag—2 freaking million dollars!—he was so depressed that he wished he could die right there and then.The parts-to-whole price ratio was an important element in a car that would reflect the auto maintenance cost in ordinary use. In other words, if the parts of a car were taken

The Four Great Guardians were well-known figures in Aurous Hill, and Jayden was the most famous of them all.His nickname in the underworld was Chief Jay.Max never expected that he would run into Jayden’s Phaeton in order to avoid a Porsche Cayenne.He regretted his decision very much. If he knew that it would end up like this, he would have crashed his car into the Porsche!No! If he knew it would be like this, he wouldn’t agree to race with Charlie! It was a trap!Yes, that’s right!Charlie was to blame for all of this! The b*stard had tricked him! His BMW 520 must be a modified car since it was surprisingly powerful.If Charlie hadn’t set up the trap, he wouldn’t have made such a decision!Max hated Charlie very much as he thought of it.Jayden snorted at Max’s pale and shaky face, and growled, “Hey, show me your driver’s license and ID!”Max nodded profusely, went into the car to retrieve all the cards, and handed them to Jayden respectfully. Jayden glanced at the cards

Max shivered in fright and horror. His mind was in a big mess, he didn’t know what to do.Jayden shrugged him off indifferently. He went back to his Phaeton to take his personal belongings and then tossed the car key to Max.“I have a spare key for this car, I’ll give it to you when you hand me the new car. Don’t worry, although I’m a mobster, I never blackmail anyone. I’ll take what’s mine, I won’t take anything that is not. We in the underworld have a principle—honesty!”“However, if you don’t fulfill my demand, I’ll track you down!”Then, he raised his hand to hail a cab, got in, and left like a gust of wind.Max’s friends watched the scene in awe and bewilderment.Jayden was truly the boss in the underworld, acting very decisively and with a no-nonsense attitude. He had simply tossed his 2 million dollar car here and left. He was so awesome.On the other hand, Max was crouching on the floor, wailing and crying.Where could he get the money to buy a new Phaeton? Even if he s

“Alright.” Stephanie nodded indifferently. She called one of the friends who was sitting in Max’s car.“Hey, Max said that you had an accident, right? How are you guys? Is everyone okay? Mrs. Lewis is very worried!”The man cleared his throat and stuttered awkwardly, “Um… Max ran into a Phae…”Before he could finish, Max snatched the phone off the man’s hand and blurted, “Stephanie, I’m fine, we crashed into a Passat. I’m negotiating with the driver now to resolve the problem. Don’t worry, we’re almost done here, I’ll be there soon.”Stephanie said flatly, “Okay then, we’ll wait for you at the hotel entrance. We’ve been here for a long time.”Max quickly said, “Ah, I’m so sorry for the delay. Please tell Charlie that I’m sorry for not being able to complete the race, we’ll race again in a few days!”Stephanie mumbled a reluctant ‘Okay’ and ended the call.The man who had received Stephanie’s call asked, “Max, are you still going to the reunion after what happened?”“Of course!”

Max glared at Charlie indignantly and said, “Do you think I’m afraid of you? If it wasn’t for the accident, I would have won!”Stephanie said with an irritated pout, “Yeah, keep up with your bluff! Just now, Charlie simply stepped on the accelerator, and you were nowhere to be seen! In my opinion, you would definitely lose if that accident didn’t occur.”“Huh! Are you kidding me?” Max huffed, trying to make an excuse, “Charlie was able to overtake me in the first place because I forgot to switch the function into sports mode.”Then, he quickly changed the subject, “Ah! You don’t understand cars, this conversation is meaningless. Hurry, let’s go in. I’ve made a reservation.”Charlie shrugged nonchalantly and entered the Hyatt Hotel with the crowd.The Hyatt Hotel was a comprehensive hotel integrating dining, entertainment, and leisure, but due to its remote location, its popularity and scale paled in comparison to Shangri-La and Glorious Club.Max led the group into the hotel.

Charlie and Claire sat down on Mrs. Lewis’s right-hand side at her request. The others took their seats one by one.As soon as everyone sat down, Mrs. Lewis glanced at all of them and donned a gentle smile. “Kids, I’m so happy and thankful that you still remember me for all these years and even visit me!”Everyone on the table quickly said, “Mrs. Lewis, what are you talking about? It’s what we should do.”Mrs. Lewis asked, “How have you all been all these years?”They answered with a smile, “Thanks for your concern, we are doing quite well.”After leaving the orphanage for many years, everyone led their own lives in the direction they could head, but in general, they were just ordinary people. Regardless of the ideology and ambitions in the past, all of it diminished by the cruel reality. They eventually returned to ordinary life.Everyone had changed a lot. As they talked about their lives, they sounded casual and relaxed, but the listeners fell silent. Apparently, not all of th

Scott was one of Max’s lackeys who had been following him around for years.Charlie asked curiously, “Oh, does Scott work in the same company as you?”“Yes,” Max answered with a smile, “He is one of my assistants.”Then, he turned to Charlie and said, “Come and help me. I don’t need any working experience from you nor do I expect you to have any, you just need to do some errands for me. You know, make me coffee, clean my office, etc. You are the best at serving people. I’ll give you three thousand dollars a month. What do you think?”Make him coffee, clean his office, etc?Three thousand a month?Charlie answered with a smile, “Oh, your offer is so lucrative. I don’t deserve it, I’ll pass.”Max nodded triumphantly and said, “I don’t want to brag, but trust me, you’ll make a lot of money if you work for me. Just look at Scott. He would have starved to death if it weren’t for me.”There was a tinge of embarrassment on Scott’s face, but he dared not contradict Max.Max said with

Max was literally illustrating his personal experience.He was the one who had assumed the car was a Passat simply by seeing the Volkswagen logo, missing the ‘Phaeton’ entirely, and crashing into it.He was in a hot mess now. He now had millions of dollars of debt that he didn’t know how to settle.He would be so screwed if his conning strategy failed.“D*mn it!!! It’s really a Phaeton?!”A guy recognized the Phaeton’s car key. He blurted in excitement when he saw the word W12 on it, “D*mn it, this is Volkswagen’s most expensive model! The top-spec model costs more than 2 million dollars! It is known as the most underrated super luxury car. D*mn, Max, you actually bought the legendary Phaeton! You’re d*mn awesome, man!”On the other hand, the guys who had come in Max’s car and witnessed the entire incident exchanged awkward glances with each other.They didn’t expect Max to literally use Jayden’s story and start to brag. But, of course, they wouldn’t expose Max’s lies as they

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!
