The crowd started bidding and very soon, the price of the clam increased to twelve million dollars.Many people stopped bidding as soon as the price exceeded their limit. However, the people who knew the value of the clam continued bidding for it.At this time, Jack suddenly stood up before he said, “I bid fifteen million dollars for it!”After that, he turned around before he bowed and said, “Dear friends, the reason why I am here at the auction today is because of this clam. Therefore, I hope everyone will give up on bidding for this item so I can bring it home with me today. I will give everyone here today a peace talisman as a token of my gratitude.”Most of the guests who were present today were bosses and businessmen who knew of Jack’s reputation. No one dared to offend him.If he was unhappy, he could probably do something that would cost the other party his entire fortune or family!Besides that, he would also be giving out a peace talisman worth two hundred thousand doll

Jack was going crazy!He was well-known in his own city and all over the country. Everyone here today respected him with all their hearts but this young kid was actually so arrogant towards him. He had even tried to trample all over him several times already. This was really annoying!What was even worse was that he actually dared to scold him!He must have a death wish!The people present at the auction were also shocked at this time.Who was this young man? Who gave him the courage to challenge and scold Jack? Was he already tired of living? Jack was a Feng Shui master who had more than ten thousand ways to kill him without involving any blood at all!However, even though Jack was very furious, he remained calm and composed as he wanted to get the clam at a lower price. Therefore, he still maintained his demeanor before he smiled and said, “My friend, I know that we’ve both had a misunderstanding before the auction earlier but this is a little too much. If you are bidding again

“You! You!” Adam’s face was flushed red as he yelled, “You b*stard! How dare you cheat the Quinton family’s money? I am going to crush you sooner or later, you liar!”Jack turned around at this time before he looked at Adam and asked, “Mr. Quinton, do you know this person?”Adam snorted before he replied “All I know is that he is the son-in-law of the Wilson family. He does not have a job and he lives off his wife. Recently, he managed to coax my second uncle into giving him some money…”“Is that so?”Jack asked as he raised his brows. At this time, he snorted because he felt completely reassured at this time.“Alright then, young man. I would advise you not to be so arrogant. Otherwise, you’d be the one to suffer in the end. I am not looking down on you, but are you sure you can afford to pay one hundred million dollars?”Charlie’s face was very cold as he replied, “You don’t have to worry if I have enough money or if I can afford to pay the money. If you want to fight against m

One hundred million dollars in exchange for a clam.Everyone thought that Charlie was insane but Charlie did not care at all.On the way back home, Charlie explained to Jacob that he need not worry because the one hundred million dollars that he spent at the auction had already been authorized by the Quinton family. Charlie was afraid that Jacob would be frightened and worried about what the Quinton family would do to them.After arriving home, Charlie began studying the clam immediately since Claire had not returned home from work yet.The size of the clam was about the size of a regular tyre. It had already been cleaned up and after a simple polishing work, it revealed a golden-red and transparent smooth shell.Charlie managed to break it into several pieces without much effort at all.He picked up one of the pieces as he began inspecting it.As expected, there were three white beads attached to the back of the shell.This was the Holy Pearl of the Ocean, one of the Seven Tre

At this time, Claire took the bracelet in her hand before she asked, “Charlie, you made this yourself, right?”“Yes.”Charlie nodded before he replied, “This pearl and clam shard necklace has the effect of calming the nerves and it will help you to sleep well at night. If you wear it often, it will also help you to ward off evil. It was a little too rushed today that is why the workmanship is a little rough. I promise to make you a more beautiful bracelet when I have the opportunity to do so in the future.”Before he could even finish his sentence, Claire smiled and said, “Thank you, Charlie. I like it very much.”“I am glad that you like it.”Charlie heaved a huge sigh of relief at this time.The jade bracelet that he gave to Claire before this was in fact very precious and valuable. However, Claire did not wear it much.In fact, Claire was a very simple and casual person. She did not care much about gold or silver jewelry and she did not like to wear anything that is too showy

“What? A trick on the family?”Graham was stunned for a moment.Charlie was the only one who had done anything to change the Feng Shui of the Quinton family recently.Graham was very convinced with Charlie’s skills and abilities. Therefore, he quickly asked, “Mr. Yaleman, are you sure about this? There has indeed been someone who has recently helped to deal with the Feng Shui in my house. His name is Mr. Wade. However, it seems as though his methods had been working well so far. I don’t think that he’d cast a spell or magic trick on us.”Jack snorted before he shouted, “There are some people who pretend to be God and they’re the best at deceiving ignorant people! If you are willing to continue trusting him, then I will just leave immediately!”“Mr. Yaleman, please stay.” Graham panicked as he tried to stop Jack from leaving. “Could you please enlighten me, Mr. Yaleman? Could you please tell me what is wrong with his methods?”At this time, Jack reached out his hand and pointed to

”You, shut up!” Graham said as he glared at Adam. After that, he turned towards Jack before he said in a respectful manner, “Thank you for your advice. I will definitely pay more attention to these things in future.”Jack nodded in a meaningful manner before he got up and left.As soon as Jack left the mansion, Adam immediately said, “Second Uncle, Mr. Yaleman is a very well-known master from Mystery Court. How can a liar like Charlie even be compared to him? This time, Mr. Yaleman is even willing to help to solve our family problems without even taking a single penny from us!”“Mr. Yaleman did not even take a single penny from us but Charlie has already cheated our family of so much money! He even spent more than a hundred million dollars just to buy a broken clam at the auction today! This is a scam! This is definitely a scam! Second Uncle, why are you so willing to give him so much money? Why do you trust him so much? If word about this matter gets out, wouldn’t the people in Aur

After leaving the Quinton family, Jack started planning his next course of action.Of course, he wanted to take revenge on Charlie. He wanted to take back what Charlie had stolen from him. However, what he had done so far was not enough!The reason why he came to Aurous Hill this time was to establish a strong connection in Aurous Hill. He planned to recruit a group of believers so that he could establish his career further.Therefore, he had to come up with a masterplan to kill two birds with one stone.He wanted everyone in Aurous Hill to think of Charlie as nothing but a swindler!Charlie did not know that Jack was planning to use him as a sacrificial lamb to advance his own career.As he was busy buying vegetables to prepare dinner in the evening, Charlie suddenly received a phone call from Jasmine.After answering the call, Jasmine spoke to him in a serious manner as she said directly, “Mr. Wade, it seems as though Mr. Yaleman has invited some antique, Feng Shui, and metaph

Charlie hadn't thought about that and was therefore surprised.When he returned from the States, the Ackers were just planning to found a new automotive brand powered by new energy.And they were ready to acquire one now?With that in mind, he quickly asked, "Uncle Kaeden, do you mean to say that you've already acquired one?""Yes," Kaeden nodded. "There's this company having trouble with capital, and their founding directors were looking for financiers wherever they could reach. I bumped into their CEO in Eastcliff by chance myself and discussed it with Christian—we both decided to acquire it for 3 billion USD since it's really not that much."Charlie nodded—3 billion really wasn't much, even for himself, let alone the Ackers.That was when Yolden couldn't resist asking, "Mr. Kaeden, could you perhaps be referring to Godot Autos?""Why, yes," Kaeden replied, surprised. "Are you perhaps familiar with them?"Yolden nodded. "I have heard of them and that they were in trouble with

Charlie smiled. "All is well. Aurous Hill is a safe place."And with that, he introduced Yolden to his maternal grandparents, who were enthusiastic to learn that he was a classmate of Ashley's.As the family invited Yolden to take his seat, Keith told his sons, "Be sure to make our guest feel at home—the professor was your sister's old friend, after all."Then, turning to Yolden, he said, "Do drink more if you can, but feel free to refuse if you can't. We're not that strict with drinking around here."Yolden could stomach his alcohol despite rarely drinking, and he did not hesitate to agree to drink with them, seeing that it was a pleasant evening for the Ackers.Keith then turned to Charlie, "You drink too, boy. Just ask your aunt to drive you home later."Charlie smiled. "It's alright, Gramps. Everyone on this hill is a friend—I'll ask Don Albert to send a car."Keith laughed heartily. "Wonderful! I shall drink with you too!""Really?" Holly quickly interrupted. "Did you get

Yolden didn't go into detail despite apologizing, as he was sure the Ackers would understand, so he didn't have to rub it in twice.However, it had been twenty years since Ashley's passing, and they certainly could take a brief mention in stride. That was why none of them found it offensive, especially since Ashley and Yolden were good friends and classmates.Charlie was just going to introduce Yolden, and so he said, "Yolden, I'm sure you recognize Uncle Kaeden? He often makes public appearances."Yolden nodded. "Yes, it's only natural. Your reputation precedes you, Mr. Acker!"Kaeden politely replied. "You flatter me, Professor Hart."After a brief handshake, Charlie moved on to the others and was surprised when he arrived at Merlin as Yolden spoke before he could, "This must be Chief Merlin Lammy, pride of the Oskians! I've seen your interviews and articles, and I really admire you!"Merlin smiled humbly. "I'm just a police chief—nothing to be proud about. The rest of you have

Yolden was inwardly relieved, hearing that Charlie really didn't mind revealing himself to his future wife and stepson. He had led a down-to-earth life and earnestly loved Matilda and wanted to spend the rest of his life with her.That was why he hoped that whenever they mentioned Charlie, Matilda wouldn't merely think of Jacob Wilson's son-in-law, who had coincidentally met some locally influential figures through his feng shui business.He was rather bad at pretending and even worse at lying.Still, he would have understood and respected Charlie's decision if the latter had refused, and he was therefore surprised Charlie had agreed to it so easily.Naturally, he was not aware that Charlie intended to take his new family under his wing and was happily riding shotgun as Charlie drove up to the Champ Elys villa.Keith Acker and the rest of his family were already there waiting, and Charlie's three uncles, aunt, and Merlin were outside to receive them.Keith and Holly would have

Yolden then asked, "By the way, there's something I'd like your opinion for.""Do tell," Charlie replied politely."Autumn and I know who you really are," Yolden said. "But that's not the case for Matilda or Paul… Well, Paul's smart, so even if he had no idea who you are specifically, he'd still have a hunch that you're someone incredibly wise and influential. That's why he really respects and worships you."Pausing, he then continued, "Well, now that Matilda and I are going to start a new family, I hope that I can be honest with her in every way possible as her husband. However, I still think I should ask about your opinion when it comes to your identity, so if you think I can tell Paul and Matilda, I'll find a time to tell them. But if you think I shouldn't, Autumn and I will understand and respect that."Charlie was actually surprised that Yolden would ask permission over something like that, and it made him even more sure about Yolden's personality.When it comes to the reall

Charlie chuckled. "Don't sell yourself short, Mr. Hart. There are plenty of business folk who got so used to their comfort zone that they became caught in the illusion that they can be successful in anything they do. It's a mindset that leads to them blindly developing new projects and new competition, and then they end up losing big."If memory serves, there have been real estate businesses that started mineral water brands, search engines that tried the car industry, e-commerce sites attempting social media, and vice-versa. All of them are multi-billion-dollar companies venturing into new frontiers, but all to unimpressive outcomes."Pausing, Charlie then continued, "You've mentioned rising above the competition amidst the development of the new energy industry. That would get anyone's attention, and it is why I believe that you definitely will make a strong impression with your strategizing and knowledge of the basic principles."Yolden found it hard to refuse, seeing that Charli

Having lost it all, Jacob really looked like he wouldn't be getting back up.But fortunately, he had a pillar in the form of Elaine.In fact, Elaine would serve to be a container, whipping Jacob into shape if he got too full of himself.But on the other hand, now that Jacob was utterly despondent, she would be forcing him to smile and function in general.Elaine's attitude to the entire issue was clear as well. Even though Jacob had just lost his job, she would make him go shopping with her in Dubai even if he fell into a coma. Even if he was dead, she'd just cremate him and bring his ashes along.Hence, with Elaine's firm grip around Jacob's leash, he went on strolls, going shopping and taking selfies with Elaine everyday, eventually easing the toll on his mood and spirit.-Back at Aurous Hill, Charlie was preparing for Yolden Hart and Matilda Hall's wedding as it approached.Yolden was a schoolmate of his mother, Ashley Layna Acker, as well as Charlie's elder.And while Cha

"See you." As soon as Charlie hung up on Matilda, Don Albert's call came right after.He sounded nervous as Charlie answered the phone, saying, "Master Wade, I think I might have gone too far…""Wait, what's this about?" Charlie asked."Your father-in-law, of course…" Don Albert sighed. "You asked me to leave him hanging for a while, so I did. I even refused when he asked to book a room in Heaven Springs.""Well, that's not a problem, is it?" Charlie shrugged. "He and Zachary ganged up for some real mischief. As you are Zachary's boss, it's right that you refused him because you didn't appreciate what he did.""That's just it. I thought that approach was just right as well," Don Albert quickly said. "I wasn't playing nice when Mr. Bay of the Calligraphy and Painting Association called me either. That's when he said he'd try to save Jacob's position as vice-president, but I told him it's none of my business."I then hung up on him without much thought, only for Zachary to tell m

Meanwhile, Charlie was downstairs in Claire's office, waiting to pick her up and head home.That was when Matilda called him, asking as soon as he answered, "Charlie, do you know how Jacob is doing? He never answered any of my texts—is he going to be alright?""I wouldn't know," Charlie replied. "Both he and Elaine are in Dubai on a trip… What's wrong?""He resigned," Matilda sighed. "I only saw the public statement that the Calligraphy and Painting Association posted this afternoon. It says that he tendered the resignation himself, but it doesn't really feel that way. I wonder if he's at odds with other members of the association…"Charlie was actually surprised to hear that Jacob had resigned.He had told Zachary to expose the truth of the bronze sculpture fraud case to teach Jacob a lesson so that Jacob would understand the meaning of true pain.However, he anticipated that Mr. Bay would at least keep Jacob around with an unimportant job even if Jacob did lose some money and e
