"There were several palace collections that the Qing court recorded, and their prices were even more expensive." "Such a large number of highly valuable cultural relics could easily reach 200 million dollars even in the lowest bid, and that was 20 years ago." "Although my family business was on a relatively large scale at that time, the antique industry is capital-intensive. Our family's assets might be tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of dollars, but a large part of it was inventory all around the world. It was hard for us to come out with 200 million right away." "Also, in the antique industry, you can't expect to liquidate inventory quickly. The more inventory you have, the more patient you have to be." "Because the antique industry is similar to the stock market. The worst thing that can happen is a concentrated sell-off that crashes the market. I can buy ten pieces of 14th-century porcelain at once, but there is no way I can sell ten pieces at once. The more I

Charlie hastily asked, "You must have read the Preface of the Apocalyptic Book, right? What exactly does it say?" Raymond replied, "The content recorded in the book is all-encompassing, but its real core is a map that needs to be deciphered from the text bit by bit. Back then, your parents were very interested in studying and deciphering the Preface. Thanks to your father, I studied it briefly too, but I wasn't good at the Oskian language because I was born and raised in the States. The content was too difficult and obscure for me to understand, and I soon lost interest in studying it." "After that, your parents left the States and returned to Oskia. I heard that they went to great lengths to search for the place mentioned in the book. Thankfully, they found the place after going through so much hardship. That place was where your father took the Apocalyptic Book." "Really?" Charlie gasped, astonished. "What's the place's name? Is it called the Longevity Haven?" "I don't know."

As a close friend of Charlie's father, Raymond hoped that Charlie would not repeat Curtis's mistakes, but Charlie's remarks made him realize that Curtis's and Charlie's lives had already been determined when Curtis decided to study the Preface of the Apocalyptic Book. Charlie's life was also destined to be full of dangers. Peace and serenity were a far-fetched dream for him. Thinking about this, Raymond sighed. "When I learned that people's destinies were divided into different levels, I thought that your father's fate of the dragon would bring him luck and joy, but from the looks of it, even if you have the fate of the ascending dragon, there are still difficulties and challenges everywhere." With a gentle smile, Charlie said calmly, "Now it seems that everything is fated." After that, he looked at Raymond and said respectfully with gratitude, "Thank you for everything you have done for me. Don't worry. I'll take care of everything later. You only need to stay here for one mo

Charlie huffed in surprise, "Wow, he's so bold. He can't wait to fuck your wife before your plane takes off." Bruce clenched his fists tightly and snarled indignantly, "Yes! That's what pissed me off the most! Actually, the bastard had already arrived at my house before I even arrived at the airport!" "Don't you want to man up and solve the problem?" asked Charlie curiously. Bruce abruptly burst into tears and wailed, "What can I do? No matter how pissed I am, I can't go against the Rothschilds! They are rich and powerful, but I only make a few million a year. Besides, it's hard for a middle-aged person like me to find a job now. If I stop working with them, I can't even find a job that pays 300 grand a year. I have no choice but to swallow my anger." "Hah!" Charlie laughed out loud. "You're really something." Then, something crossed his mind, and he asked, "By the way, you said that you installed cameras at home and filmed Malcolm going to your house. Did you get anything sp

In order to ease Raymond's problem and turn the passive situation into an active one, Charlie planned to have Bruce turn against the Rothschild family. However, he had to first find out how loyal Bruce was to the family before executing the plan. If Bruce was extremely loyal to the family, asking him to turn against the family would only make him feel unsure and skeptical. For this very reason, Charlie had purposely asked Bruce about his satisfaction and loyalty to the family. To his pleasant surprise, the marital affair between Bruce's wife and a member of the Rothschild family was exposed. Bruce's wife was cheating on him with a core member of the Rothschild family. Under such a circumstance, it seemed reasonable and natural to have him turn against the Rothschild family. After all, no man could hold on for too long when his wife cheated on him. Hence, Charlie kept manipulating him psychologically, letting him know that money was nothing compared to a man's dignity. B

"After you upload the video, you should immediately upload the video of Malcolm having an affair with your wife!" "Then, make another video in your office to explain why you want to attack the Rothschild family. Let them know that you will man up this time, and make the person who is sleeping with your wife pay the price!" "Remember, from now on, you are a fearless tiger! Use your sharpest teeth to bite their throats and never let go!" Shaking all over, Bruce howled almost fanatically, "Don't worry. I'll fight them to the end!" With a nod, Charlie instructed, "Include Mr. Cole in the first video and explain why the family imprisoned him here." "Yes, sir!" Bruce nodded without hesitation. "Roger that!" "You don't have to do it right away, though," Charlie said. "Send me up first and do what I just told you to do after I return to the cell." After that, he turned to Raymond and reassured him, "Once the video is released, I believe it will cause an uproar in the country. The

At this moment, a group of prisoners were taking turns to go to the bathroom in the cell to take a cold shower. It was because Charlie had demanded that they do everything they could to get rid of their body odor. These people didn't care about their hygiene. In addition, they had strong body odor and no deodorant. The smell emitted as these men crowded the bathroom was akin to a septic tank that had exploded. Gustavo approached Charlie as he wiped his hair and asked with a flattering smile, "Mr. Wade, have you met Bruce?" Charlie coldly snapped, "Listen, don't ask things you shouldn't ask." "Okay, okay..." Gustavo nodded repeatedly and then asked him with some concern, "I have something to ask you if you don't mind." "Go ahead," Charlie calmly said. Gustavo hastily said, "To be honest, I don't know what crime you committed, whether the trial has been held, and how long you will be sentenced after the trial. I may never be able to leave the prison. What if you get out one

"What wishful thinking." Charlie smirked, "Even if you manage to get out of here, do you think the police will not come after you when you don't return tomorrow? I bet the police will put out a global warrant for your arrest. How will you escape from the States by then?" "Also, your son now controls your entire family. If he knows that you have escaped, he will definitely try to kill you. Maybe all the killers in Mexico and the States want to kill you. You don't even know how many of your men are on your son's side. There is no one you can trust. Where do you think you can go?" "This is why I need your help," Gustavo said with a fiery look in his eyes. "You are capable and resourceful. I'm sure you can find a way to get me back to Mexico. When I return to Mexico safely, my family will support me to take power again. I'll repay you for your help! I can give you billions of dollars in cash as a token of appreciation. Or I can give you 10 billion dollars worth of cocaine! I can give y
