The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 98
Charlie felt completely helpless at this time. Jacob had just broken the Yuhuchun vase in the morning, and yet, as soon as he had stepped out of the house, the old man had actually taken advantage of his absence to sneak out and explore Antique Street again.That was just so typical of him. He would never learn from his mistakes.Jacob laughed as he asked them in a mysterious manner, “I meant that these celadon cups are worth more than half a million dollars! Why don’t you guess how much I bought them for?”Claire hesitated for a moment before replying, “Three hundred thousand dollars?”“No! Guess again!” Jacob replied as he waved his hand.“Two hundred thousand dollars?”“That’s not right either!”Charlie glanced at the pair of celadon cups in his father-in-law’s hand and he instantly knew that the cups were fake and only worth a few hundred dollars.Just then, Jacob smiled as he exclaimed excitedly, “Haha! I bought it for only three hundred dollars! Isn’t that amazing?”Clai

The next day was already the weekend.Jacob dragged Charlie out of the house and they drove to Antique Street early in the morning.The old man looked very refreshed and energetic, and upon stepping out of the car, Jacob waved his hand at Charlie as he said, “Come! Let me show you how you can pick up a good product!”After that, both of them started walking down Antique Street.Charlie had to walk quickly to keep up with Jacob. Regardless, he continued to look around him as he walked along the street.Since it was the weekend, there were a lot more people on Antique Street as compared to usual.Antique Street was very dense on both sides of the street as there were many vendors who came out to set up their stalls during the weekend, and so, the whole street was very packed.Many vendors simply placed a plastic sheet on the ground as they welcomed guests and customers to check out all the various kinds of antiques and jades placed on the ground.Charlie looked around casually an

“Boss, I think I must have brought the wrong wine bottle out since I rushed out of the house in a hurry today.”“So, you brought the wrong bottle out today?” Charlie smiled as he picked up another wine bottle that was covered in mud. He wiped the mud off with his hand before looking at it under the sun. After inspecting it, Charlie said, “What about this bottle, then? It seems as though this wine bottle was made in Suzhou.”Sure enough, there was a row of small characters written below the bottle.“Made by Suzhou Craft Factory.”“I don’t know what is written on it since I am illiterate,” The owner of the stall smirked as he replied. After that, he rubbed the sole of his feet against the oil paper, making it seem as though he was not interested in doing business with them at all.Jacob became angry and annoyed when he saw that he had been fooled.Grabbing hold of the owner of the stall, he shouted angrily at him.“You liar! Give me back my money!”“What money are you talking abo

As soon as he heard the voice, Charlie turned around to look for its source.He saw a young man wearing a white linen suit and a pair of black cloth shoes walking toward the stall. There were all sorts of bracelets on his hand, and as it was broad daylight and sunny, he was wearing an antique pair of gold-rimmed glasses with two round black lenses. The young man’s glasses looked like the type of glasses young children would wear during the Qing Dynasty in China.About four to five bodyguards were walking behind the young man, and compared to the young master, the bodyguards looked more fierce and evil, driving everyone around to move away quickly in order to avoid causing any trouble at the scene.“Oh, it’s Mr. Quinton!”The owner of the stall widened his eyes and started smiling as soon as he saw the young man. After that, flattering words came out of his mouth as though he was a tap with running water flowing from it. “Mr. Quinton, why didn’t you tell me in advance that you were
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 102
Nevertheless, Mr. Quinton was completely different. This was because he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, seeing as he came from a famous second-generation rich family. He had not experienced any shortage of money ever since he was born.Zachary did not want to offend Mr. Quinton, but he did not want to break the rules for antique trade either, and so, he continued looking at Charlie, hoping that the latter would change his mind.Charlie knew that Zachary was pleading with him, but he simply ignored his plea and replied coolly, “No.”Zachary was left utterly helpless and could only sit on the ground and grunt in case Mr. Quinton kicked him again.“Look at how useless you are!”Mr. Quinton yelled as he scowled at Zachary. After that, he glanced at Charlie before saying arrogantly, “You bought this pebble for three hundred dollars? I will pay you thirty thousand dollars if you give it to me!”The people who had crowded around them exhaled loudly as soon as they heard Mr. Q
The Charismatic Charlie Wade Chapter 103
When everyone saw the arrogant expression on Mr. Quinton’s face, the surrounding crowd held their breaths because they were certain that Charlie would lose in this confrontation.However, Charlie had a calm expression on his face, and he smiled as he replied, “I think that this is not your first time participating in an antique trade. Do you have any idea what is the most important thing in the antique trade industry?”Mr. Quinton looked at Charlie with a cold expression on his face as he replied, “What?”Charlie laughed before answering, “Of course it is the rule governing antique trading!”After that, Charlie raised his voice slightly before he continued speaking. “In antique trades, it is always a first come first served basis. I came first, and I was the first person to buy this pebble. Therefore, this pebble belongs to me already. Even if you kneel before me and beg me to give it up to you, I will not give it to you, otherwise, I will be allowing you to break the rules today.

”Okay, sure,” Charlie agreed immediately with an extremely relaxed attitude. “I can only say that you are really amazing because you actually believe that that artificial stone is a jade.”Mr. Quinton was getting increasingly annoyed, and his face flushed red after getting criticized by Charlie. He turned around and looked at the massive crowd of people around them.“Mr. Zeke, Mr. Lionel, I want both of you to help me appraise this bracelet and tell me whether it is a genuine product or not.”The two people who had been called out by him suddenly felt very awkward as they exchanged glances with one another.This was because identifying the authenticity of an antique was usually very offensive toward the other party, regardless of whether it was genuine or not.“Mr. Quinton, we also have limited knowledge in appraising antiques. We would not be able to tell the difference.”Mr. Quinton immediately got angry and quickly said, “Don’t give me all these nonsensical excuses! I want bot

When Charlie saw how arrogant Mr. Quinton was, he sneered as he shook his head in disdain. “You can’t even tell the difference between a gourd and a jade plug? Haven’t you heard of the nine orifices or the jade plugs that were used on corpses?”“What do you mean by jade plugs and corpses?” Mr. Quinton asked with a confused expression on his face.Charlie sighed. “A child cannot be taught!” After that, he shook his head before saying, “You don’t even know this? Have you heard of the ‘Nine Aperture Jade’?”“What ‘Nine Aperture Jade’?” Mr. Quinton asked as he stared at Charlie with a blank expression on his face.Even though Mr. Quinton really enjoyed purchasing antiques, he had never spent any time studying any of his antiques at all. He would always buy whatever anyone said was good before going out to brag about his antique pieces.“Idiot!” Charlie sneered before he continued speaking. “The ‘Nine Aperture Jade’ consists of nine jade plugs that were used by people to plug the nine

Charlie shook his head and replied, "I live in another building." As he said that, he pressed the button for the first floor in the elevator. The woman nodded slightly and said with a smile, "I thought you two were a couple. You look so well-matched." "No, no..." Nanako, feeling embarrassed, quickly replied, "Uh... We're just friends." The woman nodded and stopped teasing her. The elevator soon reached the first floor. Charlie bid farewell to the two women, got off the elevator, and walked toward the villa area. At this moment, he could never have imagined that the woman who had been in the same elevator with him was actually an underling of his biological mother. The reason she had returned a step ahead of him was also part of a carefully planned arrangement. Ashley was worried that Charlie might overthink things, so she had deliberately arranged for the woman to appear in front of him, allowing him to confirm that the woman was just an ordinary person who knew nothing a

Just as Charlie and Nanako were about to get out of the car, a female driver exited her car in the parking space diagonally opposite. After locking her car, she carried her bag and walked toward the elevator hall. When Nanako saw the woman, she turned to Charlie and said, "Charlie, that is the neighbor I mentioned. That day, I overheard her talking to a friend on the phone, and that's how I found out that Master Jeevika was coming to Aurous Hill." Charlie nodded slightly and smiled, saying, "It seems we should thank her when we get the chance. With just one phone call, she inadvertently helped you attain enlightenment." "Yes!" Nanako fully agreed with Charlie's point, saying, "If it weren't for her, I might not have had the chance to attain enlightenment." She then asked, "Do you want to meet Master Jeevika? Maybe he can give you some inspiration." Charlie shook his head. "My situation is special, so it's better to avoid meeting strangers who have already attained enlightenme

Due to the time difference, Charlie did not immediately call Kathleen. However, he believed that this matter was a piece of cake for her, so he planned to call her in the evening to discuss it and then start working on the follow-up plans. So, Charlie said to Nanako, "I think there's no need for you to continue practicing martial arts. Instead, why not come with me to the villa this afternoon and help me out? Once we're done, we can both head back to Thompson First." Without hesitation, Nanako nodded and said, "I'm all yours." She then asked, "Should I inform Master Howton of my departure?" Charlie waved his hand and said, "He must still be teaching. Let's talk to him privately later." "Okay." After that, Charlie and Nanako went to his villa halfway up the mountain. Once they got to the basement of the villa, Nanako was taken aback by the sight of a simple fluid-filling machine with many unused bottles and caps nearby. She asked, "Why do you have pharmaceutical equipment

With this thought in mind, Charlie silently decided to spend more time at the villa in the future, where he could focus on studying cultivation. Perhaps he might discover a breakthrough path based on his current foundation. However, the thought of Holly's family living in the villa next door posed a dilemma. If he went there every day to practice in seclusion, he would inevitably have to pass by Holly's house. Out of courtesy, it would be impossible not to greet them. But once he started exchanging pleasantries, his efficiency would naturally decrease. Moreover, it would eventually cause a misunderstanding if Nanako were to go there every day as well. Thus, Charlie felt an eagerness to find a new place for cultivation. After some thought, the lakeside mansion that Kathleen had purchased under the alias Kylie when she was in Aurous Hill came to mind. The Quinton family's villa, located in the Sonfo Valley far from the city, was nestled among mountains and waters, boasting exce

Nanako could also feel that the energy available for her to draw upon in her Sea of Consciousness had suddenly surged. Her sensory abilities, which had already improved significantly after achieving enlightenment, instantly leaped to an even higher level. The Reiki within her body became exceptionally abundant. With just a slight movement of her divine sense, the Reiki immediately dispersed from within her, making the entire office feel as if it was under her bird's-eye view, completely under her control. Moreover, this sense of control continued to extend outward. In just a short moment, eight nearby rooms also fell within her perception range. Charlie could sense the Reiki Nanako was releasing. Observing her closely, he noticed that her body was already brimming with Reiki, suggesting that it was no longer possible for her to continue taking the elixir. After a while, Nanako retracted the Reiki she had been using for perception and looked up at Charlie, saying, "Previously I co

Although Nanako had just attained enlightenment, she had already realized a critical problem: the Reiki available to her was very little, and there was almost no external channel for obtaining Reiki. For cultivators today, getting Reiki was the most difficult thing. There was no Reiki in the world, so the only external channels to obtain Reiki were elixirs, spiritual stones, or formations. If someone had a complete cultivation method, he could generate Reiki in his body by practicing the method, but for people like Charlie and Nanako who lacked such methods, this self-sufficient path was not feasible. Therefore, the small amount of Reiki that was generated in Nanako's body when she attained enlightenment was basically used up after she tried to sense Reiki. Charlie was slightly better than Nanako. The spiritual stones he accidentally obtained in the early days provided him with a lot of Reiki. Later, he relied on Cultivating Pills to barely make up for the gap in Reiki. Altho

Nanako giggled gently, thinking that Charlie was exaggerating. "You're so funny, Charlie. Who could possibly fail to attain enlightenment for hundreds of years? Those who haven't probably wouldn't live that long anyway, right?" Charlie smiled ambiguously. The matter concerning Vera was, of course, something he couldn't share with anyone, including Nanako. However, it was indeed a fact that Vera, despite taking the Eternal Pill and living for so many years, still hadn't attained enlightenment. Moreover, back in the day, Fumiko had served Marcius faithfully for an entire lifetime. From the paintings, it was evident that Marcius was genuinely devoted to Fumiko at that time. Otherwise, he wouldn't have returned to fulfill his promise after obtaining his opportunities. Yet, despite receiving Marcius's wholehearted support, Fumiko still failed to achieve enlightenment. In contrast, Nanako had managed to attain enlightenment so effortlessly, merely through the guidance of a monk.

Caden didn't know what kind of gifts Charlie was planning to give everyone, but from his perspective, since each of the over 400 people would receive one, it was likely something that could be bought with money. Caden was as rich as a king and wasn't particularly interested in things that money could buy. However, since Charlie had mentioned it, he naturally wanted to show his support. He expressed his gratitude, saying, "Despite your busy schedule, you're still thinking of us. I'm truly honored, and on behalf of everyone, I thank you." Charlie chuckled. "You're welcome." Caden respectfully replied, "If there's nothing else, I'll go ahead and ask Miss Ito to come over." "Okay." Caden retreated and went back to the martial arts hall. He called Nanako over and said in a low voice, "Miss Ito, Mr. Wade is at the manager's office right now. He wants to see you." "What?" Nanako squealed in pleasant surprise. "Mr. Wade is here? Oh my, I'll go over now! Thank you, Master Howton."

After that, Charlie asked, "Has everything been going well here lately?" Caden clasped his hands respectfully and replied, "Everything has been going very well. With the follow-up mental techniques you provided from the Taoist Sect Hanbloom Method, everyone's foundations are very solid. This batch of students has made the fastest progress I've seen in all my years of teaching." Charlie remembered his disciple, Sonia, who had previously taken the entire Taoist Sect to Oskia on her own initiative, effectively becoming part of his sect. Since he didn't have time to manage them, he had left everything under Caden's supervision. Curious, he asked, "How are the Taoist Sect disciples doing in their training?" Caden responded, "These disciples' training progress has been much faster than when they were in the United States. Sonia is now like a workaholic, training all day, every day, and her progress is astonishing—beyond my expectations." He continued, unable to hide his admiration, "
