The Charismatic Charlie Wade

“Okay, I’ll drive.”
The couple drove to Antique Street together.
Since it was the weekend, there were many people at Antique Street.
Zachary had already opened his stall for a long time on Antique Street. Therefore, he has his own permanent booth on the
street. Charlie could find him as soon as he entered the Antique Street.
At this time, Zachary was holding a fake jade pendant in his hand as he was bragging to a foreign couple. “I am telling you that
this jade pendant was worn by the emperor of the Ming Dynasty before he passed it to his grandson and the generation after
that. After many twists and turns, the jade pendant finally fell in my hands...”
“Is it really that valuable?” the middle-aged man asked in surprise. “How much does this jade pendant cost?”
Zachary grinned before he replied, “Since we’re fated to meet today, I’ll sell this jade pendant to you for just one hundred and
eighty thousand dollars. After leaving Antique Street, you can actually sell this jade pendant to an auction house for at least one
million eight hundred thousand dollars!”
The woman smirked before she replied, “If you can sell this jade pendant for ten times the amount out of Antique Street, then
why didn’t you do that yourself? Do you really think we are fools? Come on, husband! Let’s get out of here.”
After that, the woman dragged her husband away from Zachary’s stall.
Zachary started cursing angrily at this time. “Damn it! When did all these foreign tourists become so smart?”
When Charlie saw what happened, he smiled before he approached Zachary. “So Zachary, are you still trying to cheat your
customers?”
“Oh!” Zachary exclaimed when he saw Charlie. He quickly bowed before he greeted Charlie immediately. “Mr. Wade, why are
you here today?”
After greeting Charlie, Zachary noticed Claire who was standing next to him. “Oh! This must be your wife, Mr. Wade. She’s such
a beautiful woman!”
Charlie simply replied, “Stop flattering me! The reason why I am here today is because I heard that you want to pay my father-in-
law three hundred thousand dollars for a pen holder?”

“Yes, yes, yes!” Zachary nodded as he replied excitedly. “Your father-in-law is really amazing to have found such a rare piece of
treasure. That pen holder is worth at least three to four hundred thousand dollars! He’s really amazing!”
At this time, Charlie pulled Zachary aside before he whispered, “Zachary, stop fooling me. Everyone on Antique Street can see
that this broken pen holder is a fake. The only person who doesn’t know that is none other than my father-in-law. Now, tell me
why you are willing to pay three hundred thousand dollars for this fake pen holder? Come on, tell me the reason now.”
Zachary quickly replied, “Mr. Wade, I wanted to honor you because you’re a really incredible man. Not too long ago, your old
man came to me with two magical pills and after reselling it, I managed to earn at least two million dollars. The more I thought
about it, the more uneasy I felt. It would be inappropriate for me to keep all the money to myself when you were the one who
made the pills, right?”
As soon as he spoke, Zachary continued smiling before he said, “That is why I thought of another way to share the profits with
you. I know that money does not mean anything to you at all. Therefore, I thought that I’d be able to share the profits with you
through your father-in-law instead.”
Charlie sneered before he said, “Yes, Zachary. You took the magical pills from my father-in-law and you paid him a few hundred
thousand for it when you were making millions out of it. Do you really think you’d be able to atone for your sins by simply offering
me three hundred thousand dollars for a pen holder?”
Zachary started trembling in shock as he replied, “Mr. Wade, please forgive me! If you aren’t satisfied, I’ll give you all that money.
I don’t want anything else, I only want your friendship.”
Zachary knew very well that he cannot afford to provoke Charlie. After all, Charlie was a very powerful man who had connections
with many powerful and wealthy people in Aurous Hill. Everyone regarded him as the greatest metaphysics master because he
had actually destroyed a couple of metaphysics masters from Hong Kong. So, Zachary only wanted to please Charlie.
At this time, Charlie simply glanced at Zachary before he said, “Forget it. My father-in-law doesn’t know the value of the pill and
he felt that he had already taken advantage of you when you gave him five hundred thousand dollars for the pills. So, let’s just
leave it as it is.”
After that, Charlie looked at Zachary before he said, “However, I hope that you won’t hesitate to help me if I require your help in
the future. Do you understand what I am saying?”
Zachary quickly smiled before he replied, “Don’t worry, Mr. Wade. From now on, I’ll do whatever you want me to for you!”
