The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 416
Before going out, Charlie was still a little hesitant and reluctant.He didn’t know how to deal with a passionate and bold girl like Loreen. He didn’t want to hurt her feelings and more importantly, he didn’t want to betray Claire.He was in a complete dilemma right now.He was worried that Loreen would confess to him again during the hot springs getaway and she might make an even bolder move too.On the other hand, since he had promised his wife, it was impossible to retract his promise, so he could only go ahead with the plan.As they went downstairs, they saw Loreen poking her head out of a Mercedes-Benz and saying, “Charlie, put the luggage in the trunk and sit in the back. Let Claire sit in the front and chat with me on the way!”“Okay!” Charlie nodded, put the luggage in the trunk, and squeezed into the back seat.When he sat down, Loreen turned and winked at him shyly.Pretending not to see it, Charlie stretched himself and said, “Oh, I’m so tired. I didn’t sleep well la

Loreen was very upset and pissed as well. She was the daughter of the Thomas family and there was no way she would take the blame so innocently, so she pushed the door, got out of the car immediately, and shouted back, “Hey, shut up! It’s your fault in the first place! Can’t you see I was reversing into the spot? Are you f*cking blind? How dare you scold me first!”The young man did not expect that Loreen would talk back at him. He yelled, “Oh my f*cking god, another stupid female driver! Nine out of ten dumbest drivers on the road are women! Can you even f*cking drive? If you can’t, go back to your mother’s womb and learn how to drive before you come out again, don’t embarrass yourself like this!”Then, he added, “I’ve just bought this car for a hundred grand and you’ve scratched it, goddamnit! How much do you want to pay?”Loreen frowned and retorted, “Hey, first things first! I saw the space first and was already halfway into it when you came out of nowhere and tried to snatch th

The young man turned back to Charlie with a vicious look and cursed, “Hey, kid, you’d better compensate us while I’m still asking nicely! My girlfriend and I want to go to the hot springs, so be a good dog, and get the hell out of here!”Charlie said coldly, “What if I don’t want to?”The young man sneered. “A bunch of poor, pretentious jerks. Wait here, I’ll let you know the consequences of not paying.”Then, he took out his phone and started calling someone. “Hey, Mr. Hicks, I came to your resort and some idiots scratched my car at the bloody parking lot. They’ve refused to compensate me and are messing with me right now. Get some guys here right away!”After ending the call, the young man smirked and said, “Loser, I’ll give you one last chance to to compensate me for the damage and apologize to me right now. When Mr. Hicks comes here later, you’re gonna be so dead!”Loreen was afraid that Charlie would get hurt so she quickly said, “Okay, fine, it’s my unlucky day today. How m

The young man was outraged when Charlie suddenly stopped Loreen and was so direct with him. He growled, “Okay, jerk, if you want to be killed, be my guest! I’ll strip my last name off if I don’t beat you half to death later!”Charlie said flatly, “Since you like to show off so much, I can suggest a new last name for you—showoff.”“Motherf*cker!” The young man was so pissed that he was about to jump on Charlie any second now.Right at this moment, a chubby middle-aged man sprinted towards them with a few brawny guards in tow.The young man smiled as soon as he laid eyes on the chubby man. “Hey, Mr. Hicks, I haven’t seen you in a few days, you’re getting bigger now. It seems that you have quite an enjoyable life, huh!”Mr. Hicks giggled and said, “Mr. Lloyd, how can my life be comparable to yours? I’m just one of the menial staff members under Mr. Cameron, unlike you with your big and diversified family business.”Then, he quickly asked, “By the way, Mr. Lloyd, what’s going on here
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 420
“Hey, what’s going on? What’s with the noise?”Mr. Hicks shuddered in shock when he heard the voice. He turned around and said respectfully, “Don Albert, are you done with your hot springs? How is it?”“Good,” Albert answered indifferently and then asked, “What are you doing there?”Albert said this while walking towards the parking with his men.“Oh, it’s just some pathetic jerk hitting Mr. Lloyd. I was about to avenge him. The kid isn’t very capable but is very skittish.”Clutching his stomach, Marcus greeted, “Hi, Uncle Rhodes, long time no see.”Albert looked at him and laughed. “Oh, it’s you, Marcus! Hey, what’s wrong with your charisma? How can you be beaten in Aurous Hill? You put your father’s reputation to shame!”Albert and Marcus’s father were quite close, so Marcus could be considered his nephew. He spoke rather directly and in an elderly manner.Marcus didn’t dare to talk back to Albert, so he said sheepishly, “Uncle Rhodes, I bumped into some miserable jerk. I’ll
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 421
Mr. Hicks, the manager of Champs Elys Resort, was completely dumbfounded at that scene.He couldn’t comprehend what was happening, neither did his guards. None of them dared to move an inch.Marcus wailed loudly, “Uncle Rhodes, please stop! What the hell is going on?”Albert stomped on Marcus’s face while growling, “Marcus Lloyd, you feel so powerful and majestic because I treat you like my own nephew, don’t you? Huh! Who gave you the right to be so cocky outside?!”Marcus cried, horrified, “Uncle Rhodes, why are you so pissed? Tell me and I’ll fix it!”Albert kicked him while cursing, “Master Wade is my lifesaver, my hero, but you, b*stard, you insulted him! Go to hell!”Marcus realized that he had messed with someone he shouldn’t. He wailed and pleaded, “I’m sorry, Uncle Rhodes, I’m so sorry! I’ll apologize to Master Wade. Please, please forgive me! It’s all my fault! Please! I’m willing to compensate him for his loss!”Albert looked disdainfully at his Maserati and sneered, “

This way, she couldn’t delete it even if she wanted to.Next, the sound of crackling and smashing resonated endlessly. The brand-new Maserati was smashed into a pile of scrap steel very quickly. Marcus shuddered. He knew that he had made a big mistake this time, so he wrapped his arms around Albert’s leg and pleaded, “Uncle Rhodes, I’m so sorry, please forgive me, please!”“Forgive your head!” Albert kicked him hard on his chest. He turned to Charlie and asked, “Master Wade, how do you want me to deal with them?”Charlie glanced at Marcus, disheartened, and smirked, “Well, the kid is very interesting. He likes to curse and talk crap with that filthy mouth of his. Oh yes, by the way, I heard that some guys were dragged to the toilet to lick urinals two days ago for the same reason. Do you know about that?”Of course!It happened at Glorious Club. Jeffrey Weare had brought a girl with him and offended Master Wade. Then, Oscar, the head butler of the Moore family, forced them to li

Albert was stunned when he heard Charlie’s command. He picked up his dagger immediately before instructing his subordinates, “Come over here and hold onto his head for me.”Marcus was extremely frightened at this time and struggled, shaking his head desperately as he was unwilling to let someone engrave the words ‘pathetic jerk’ on his forehead. These were the two words that he would use to scold and speak ill of others every day!Over the past few years, Marcus’s family had come into some money, and ever since he had become a little wealthier, he had been acting even more like a tyrant.Whenever he went out and saw the garbage collectors, he would call them pathetic jerks.When he went out on the street and saw that other people’s cars were not as good as his own, he would also call them pathetic jerks.Some time ago, a high school student had accidentally poured a cup of milk tea over his Dior jacket. After that, out of anger, Marcus had beat the high school student until the st

The other antique traders who were keeping tabs on the situation were left confused by Trippy's message.[Maybe even those out-of-towners know that Raymond is a sucker? So they traveled overnight just to see what happens?][I know Raymond is in trouble, but is it really worth traveling hundreds of miles just to watch?][Maybe they know he's a sucker, so they came to sell him more counterfeits?][Shit, that must be it! Suckers are rare these days, after all!][Damn straight! Just knowing that there's one in Aurous Hill, you'd be eager to come over.]Even Mick Crane who had just woken up and saw the message immediately sent a voice message: "Those conmen are just like flies flocking around shit as soon as they smell it.""Oh, but what they don't know is that Raymond has no more money! I heard he only had a few hundred thousand for the startup, and the bronze sculpture must have cost most of it. I'm afraid those people won't even get their gas money and toll costs back after travel

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
Chapter 6485
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
Chapter 6481
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
