After all, an important prisoner such as Rosalie had escaped. The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, and all the citizens of Japan would certainly not be able to accept this fact.As soon as the call was connected, Nanako’s voice sounded immediately, “Charlie, you have already arrived in Aurous Hill, right?”Charlie smiled as he said, “That’s right. How did you know that?”Nanako smiled as she said, “I have been following the news in Aurous Hill, and I saw some media sharing the news that Miss Moore has already returned. Since Miss Moore has already returned to Aurous Hill, you should also be back in Aurous Hill.”“Yes.” Charlie smiled slightly as he said, “We arrived in the morning, and we immediately rushed to Moore Group as soon as we got back here. So, I did not have time to report our safety to you earlier. I am so sorry.”Nanako smiled as she said, “Charlie, you are being too polite. You had more important matters to deal with. You didn’t

When Nanako heard this, she asked in surprise, “Charlie, what kind of gift are you going to give him?”Charlie smiled and said, “I presume that he must be feeling very anxious and angry now because he cannot understand how Rosalie could disappear and get switched out with someone else, right?”Nanako replied, “That is indeed the case. My father said that man is under a lot of pressure at the moment because it is admittedly very difficult to lead and deal with this kind of critical task. The main reason is because the citizens’ expectations are certainly very high. If he does a good job, everyone will unquestionably be very happy. However, if he fails to do his job, it is very likely for him to suffer and face the citizens’ anger and rage.”Charlie agreed as he said, “Yes. This kind of matter is a double-edged sword. If it is not used well, the person will get hurt himself.”As he spoke, Charlie smiled as he said, “However, the gift that I am going to give him will help him turn thi

Charlie laughed as he said, “Didn’t you say that he used to work for the Homeland Security Bureau? As far as I know, homeland security is the most important for any country. Therefore, the people working in the Homeland Security Bureau certainly have a higher position compared to those in the military. You can ask him to ask his former colleagues or leader to help him. I believe that the Homeland Security Bureau will surely come forward to arrest the people in the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, and the Japanese Self-Defense Forces will not have the guts to interfere in this matter.”After pausing for a moment, Charlie said again, “After the officers from the Homeland Security Bureau arrests those men, they can hand those men over to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department for questioning and interrogation. No matter how many people are arrested, they should be isolated, and each and every one of them should be interrogated separately! He will certainly be able to find a piece of key e

When Sheldon saw that his father seemed a little enraged, he hurriedly stood up as he bowed respectfully and said, “Dad, calm down and don’t be angry. That is not what I meant. I am just worried about Rosalie. No matter what it is, Rosalie is still my flesh and blood. Since her life and death and her whereabouts are still completely unknown, I am indeed a little too anxious…”Lord Schulz looked at him coldly before he said, word by word, “Sheldon, you have to be calm and composed even when faced with difficulties and changes if you want to do great things. You are already panicking like this just because of the disappearance of an illegitimate child? If I were to die one day, would you be able to manage the Schulz family, then?!”Sheldon began to quiver as soon as he heard these words!He thought to himself, ‘The old man is already starting to doubt my thoughts and abilities now. This is not a good sign!’‘If I continue showing too much concern about Rosalie over this matter and if

Sheldon was worried that he would cause the old man to feel dissatisfied with him because of this matter involving Rosalie. If the old man chose to remove him, he would certainly suffer extremely heavy losses. His whole life’s effort would just go to waste, then.As he thought about this, Sheldon decided that he would have to control his own emotions as much as possible in front of the old man when it came to Rosalie’s matter. He should not allow the old man to feel any dissatisfaction toward him!His daughter was naturally important to him, but the position as the head of the Schulz family was even more important.Furthermore, Rosalie was merely his illegitimate daughter!***Meanwhile, Lord Schulz also felt more or less worried even after losing his temper at Sheldon.In truth, the main reason why he had gotten angry at Sheldon was mainly because he wanted to hide his guilty conscience.After all, Lord Schulz was the one who had decided to betray Rosalie.The old man had alre

At this moment, in Tokyo, Japan.The forty-eight-year-old Suzuki Tomohisa was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the office where he had just taken office. He was completely helpless and at a loss for what to do.He was the new Superintendent General of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.Prior to this, he was a middle-level senior officer at the Homeland Security Bureau. He was very well-known, and he had a good reputation in the Homeland Security Bureau because he was very good at investigating, and not to mention, his methods were also very solid and impressive. This time, when it was discovered that Rosalie had been switched out for someone else, the whole of Japan had been shocked. The Japanese government was also overwhelmed because of this matter, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department had become the target of public criticism.Since there was truly no other way, the Japanese government could only entrust Tomohisa with this mission at this tou

Tomohisa said angrily, “Tell them that there is currently no progress on this matter. If there is any substantial progress, I will surely hold a press conference to make an announcement to the domestic and even the worldwide media.”His deputy nodded and said, “Okay, Mr. Suzuki! I will go and give them an answer now!”Tomohisa stopped him and said, “Oh, yes. From now on, no media or reporters are allowed to enter the premises of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department without any invitation or permission!”“Okay! I got it!”After his deputy went out, Tomohisa rubbed his temples as he felt very vexed, and he muttered to himself, “Sigh… it is really not a good thing to be entrusted with this kind of critical and difficult mission! This case has such a great influence. It is not only the people in the country who are paying attention to this matter, but even the overseas media are also interested in this case. If I do not handle this matter well, my reputation will certainly be ruine

Nanako’s words overturned all of Tomohisa’s guesses and inferences in regards to this whole matter.He would never have expected that the Japanese Self-Defense Forces would actually get involved in this kind of matter, and a strong wave of anger arose in his heart in an instant!Immediately afterward, Tomohisa ground his teeth and said, “Nanako, I truly have to thank you and your friend for this information. I will certainly arrest all the relevant people, interrogate them, and put them on trial as soon as possible!”Nanako smiled as she said, “Suzuki, I hope that this clue will be of some help to you.”Tomohisa replied steadfastly and affirmatively, “Nanako, if this clue is indeed true, you would have certainly helped me a lot!”After that, Tomohisa hurriedly said, “Nanako, I will not continue chatting with you anymore. I have to hurry up and make all the arrangements for the arrests first!”“Okay, Suzuki!”After Tomohisa had hung up the phone, he immediately contacted his old

Soon, more collectors had gathered outside Treasure Measure even before Raymond showed up at Antique Street, with over ten of them gathered outside in no time at all.Since Raymond had only prepared ten slips, the rest left in disappointment seeing that they had no chance.Even so, the ten collectors who had gotten a number were nervous—save for the first man who had arrived.The details on the online sales post insisted that the price was fixed, and that first-come first-serve applies.If he bought the bronze sculpture, the other nine would have come all this way for nothing.However, if the seller decided to make it an auction, they would have a chance too, although their net profit would thin in turn. After all, they could have acquired the bronze sculpture for just 20 million, and that meant a solid 8 million in profit.An auction would at least raise the price to 27 million, and more would make it chicken feed.If they gave up at that point, it was a waste of a trip.If

Trippy naturally wasn't going to tell Mick everything word-for-word, so he said vaguely, "Uh, they were just being stubborn and refused to listen to anything I said. They kept saying that they wouldn't know until they saw the actual item."Mick got out of bed, staring at his phone as he mused to himself.This was getting a little ridiculous, was it not? A fool who was scammed, actually able to scam someone else? But if he really could sell it, wouldn't all their work be for nothing?With that in mind, he promptly called Zachary, who wasn't even up yet.Ever since he had started working for Don Albert, his daily routine was no longer the same as the days when he was a humble stall owner working on Antique Street, but a man of importance who slept late and woke up late.In the evening, he would be spending his time patrolling Don Albert's night entertainment properties as well as holding meetings with subordinates to decide on management policies and the like. That was why he wo

Seeing that Mick had a favor to ask, Trippy was naturally eager to seize the opportunity to get in his good graces."Don't worry, Mr. Crane!" He promptly replied. "Just leave it to me!"Returning to Treasure Measure, he went up to the first man who had come and said, "Hey, brother… Did you come to buy the bronze sculpture from Mr. Cole?"The man asked warily, "You know about the bronze sculpture?""Of course!" Trippy grinned. "I know all too well—it's actually famous here in Aurous Hill."Whipping out his phone, he played the short video that Mick had spent five grand promoting, saying, "Here—check this out!"Curious, the man took the phone and watched the video solemnly.The other latecomer soon hurried over as well and stared fixedly at the screen too.They watched as Bill entered a room with the bronze sculpture with Mick, the latter who checked it out and started commenting on it.The first man exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, it really is that bronze sculpture."The second ma

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

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
