After reaching an agreement to help each other in the castle’s dining room, Liam and Ashley went their separate ways.Sitting in the backseat of the black limousine provided by Ashley, Liam began to recall his conversation with Ashley.To allow Liam an easy transition to the antique business, Ashley suggested he work in her antique company as a managing director, offering a monthly remuneration of a million dollars. That way, Liam could learn and familiarize himself with the company operations and the in-and-outs of running an antique company while he pretends to be his fiance.Her idea had initially excited Liam as he could achieve the monthly target profit of a hundred million dollars and complete the system’s mission without any difficulty with the system multiplying his income by a hundred times, achieving the goal of earning a hundred millions at month end. However, after taking some time to contemplate his options, he decided against it.He had already deeply offended Andrew M
Upon entering the restaurant, Liam promptly called out to Giorgio and Penelope, frantically searching for them.His heart was pounding rapidly as he searched high and low for their figures in the restaurant, praying for their safety.However, no one responded to his call despite him shouting his lungs out."Come on! Respond! Where did everyone disappear to?" Liam uttered to himself as he took out his outdated smartphone and phoned Giorgio.Simultaneously, as he dialed Giorgio’s phone number, a ringtone originating from the restaurant kitchen could be heard, prompting him to check out the kitchen in a hurry.The scene in the kitchen can only be described as hellish. Every kitchen machine and expensive equipment has been utterly destroyed beyond repair, and the air is filled with the smell of leaking gasoline.With the strong smell of gasoline in the air, Liam judged that a single naked flame would ignite the entire area and cause an explosion within a second.Covering his mouth with hi
After admitting the injured Giorgio and Penelope into the nearest hospital from the restaurant, Liam immediately proceeded to the payment counter to handle their medical bills.In addition to paying their medical expenses, he was going to request the hospital to provide them the VVIP treatment for their stay.Both Giorgio and Penelope required surgery as part of their treatment. Therefore, Liam wanted them to have the most comfortable stay possible to aid their recovery.Damien, a returning service crew who had helped Liam transport Giorgio and Penelope to the hospital, followed closely behind him.Amongst the staff who had fled the scene due to the thugs’ violent acts, he was the only one who was loyal enough to stay behind, waiting outside the restaurant.After he saw Liam safely enter and leave the restaurant carrying both Giorgio and Penelope at a distance away, he swiftly came to give Liam a helping hand.It was all thanks to Damien’s help that Liam could get Giorgio and Penelope
“You good-for-nothing swine! How dare you waste my precious time!” The middle-aged woman who was manning the payment counter erupted with anger, her face filled with fury.Her loud outburst instantly caused a large commotion in the overcrowded hospital with everyone’s attention drawn towards Liam’s direction.“What do you mean by that? My card can’t be used?” Liam asked, feeling puzzled. His bank account had more than five million dollars, with the majority of the money earned from selling the horrendous-looking horse carving to Ashley.It was impossible that his bank card was denied. He had a bad feeling about this.“Can you try swiping the card again? It’s possible that your machine was faulty.” Liam asked with a polite tone.However, his request was met with unreasonable insults from the mean woman.“Try again? There is nothing to try, you stupid brat! I was a fool to have believed that a destitute pauper like you could be a wealthy millionaire! Everyone, look at this disgusting a
“You heard it right. I can’t believe Grace Henson is so shameless! She, along with her mother, have accused you of stealing cash from their safety deposit.” Ashley lambasted Liam’s ex wife for framing Liam.Although she had only met Liam for a few days, she believed that Liam was not someone who would steal from the others from her observation.Rather, it was apparent to her that Grace Henson was acting under the instructions of Andrew Mason to frame Liam for humiliating him at the Flander family’s party.“At this very moment, she is demanding fifty million dollars in compensation from you. If you do not comply with her demand, it will lead her to press charges against you. As a result of her accusation, your bank account was flagged and suspended.” Ashley explained to Liam. Her timely explanation helped Liam understand his current dire situation. He had underestimated the ruthlessness of Andrew Mason!The Mason family had already initiated their merciless revenge against him! They a
Less than a minute after Liam ended his call with Ashley, a bald man wearing an expensive armani suit hurriedly dashed towards the payment counter with a panicked look on his face. As if his life depended on it, he began to shout as loud as he could despite knowing that he was in a hospital where making loud noises was prohibited. “Liam Walker! Is there a Liam Walker here?” The bald man shouted across the room as he frantically looked for Liam. With sweat dripping all over his forehead, he desperately searched for Liam’s figure in the room where Liam was located, completely disregarding any staff members who greeted him along the way. When he finally arrived at the payment counter, the tired bald man leaned against the counter to catch his breath. While he was out of breath, Liam finally approached him and tapped his shoulder, introducing himself as the person he was desperately looking for. “You are Liam Walker?” When the bald man saw Liam, a visible smile crept up on his face.
It took a while for Liam and Damien to unpack their luggages in the hotel, but once they were done with the unpacking, Liam immediately continued his research on the topic of antiques and jades while Damien slept in.As Liam could only use the 'Eye of Midas' a maximum of three times a day, he had to be discerning about which rock to employ his power on during the upcoming Jade convention.Thus, in order to boost his success with stone gambling, he urgently required knowledge of alternative methods in determining if a rock might potentially contain rare quality jade inside, and he needed to learn it quickly.Before this, it was decided that Ashley would send one of the most experienced staff in her company to accompany Liam and provide important advice to him in the Global Jade Convention. Unfortunately, because of the prohibition that Ashley’s grandmother had set for Ashley, Liam could not receive any help from her anymore.Thus, he had to self-taught himself by learning from books a
“Hey, young man, are you done with your selection? You have been going at it for almost an hour now. Your indecisiveness is like my grandmother! I have a bunch of customers still waiting for their turn. Can you please hurry up?” In an isolated corner of the convention hall, Liam was alone, busy examining the stones available for sale in one of the stores, oblivious to the long queue that was formed behind him. With only three chances to verify if there was jade inside a stone, he had to rely on an alternative method to determine whether jade was present in them. “Let’s see… The texture on the surface of this stone is a bit sandy and there are small traces of jade veins appearing across the surface… The internet article that I read, mentioned that these veins are natural patterns on the rock that indicate the presence of jadeite inside.” Liam muttered under his breath as he stared intensely at the stone in his palm with complete focus. “Judging from the spiral pattern, it is highly
