Chapter 5713

Author: Lord Leaf
A large group of people were incited and began mocking Jacob.

Jacob said coldly, “You people really don't know what you're talking about. How could I not have any fine artwork? It's just that some of the artworks are too exquisite and it’s not convenient for me to take it out!”

At this moment, Jacob had already imagined himself as the client mentioned by Charlie.

When the others heard Jacob boasting, they sneered disdainfully and did not take him seriously at all.

Jacob did not say much and placed the cylinder containing the painting directly on the large desk used for display and appraisal in the Calligraphy and Painting Association, and he said, “Here, I’ll let you see a piece of ancient painting that I picked up today!”

“Pfft…” The disdain on the faces of everyone present was even more apparent.

Calligraphy and painting were not easy to preserve, and the paper used for traditional Oskian painting, although diverse, was almost never as tough as Western canvases. It could be

    After all, Madam Jenson’s ancestor lived to be a hundred and thirteen years old, which was almost unheard of among ancient people. Moreover, Madam Jenson’s ancestor himself didn't understand cultivation. Instead, he spent most of his time practicing painting. He surpassed the vast majority of painters by a long shot just in terms of his skill alone.Furthermore, for the latter half of his life, Madam Jenson’s ancestor had been waiting for Marcius to return. He painted portrait after portrait of Marcius for decades, reaching a level of mastery that no one else could match. This particular painting was his favorite. He had practiced the brushwork thousands of times without making a single mistake, achieving absolute perfection.Another person approached and carefully examined the details of the painting with a magnifying glass, before he exclaimed excitedly, “This painting… This painting is indeed an ancient silk painting! You can tell it's an old item just from its texture at first

    With the approval of the well-respected man, the portrait of Marcius immediately caused quite a stir in the Calligraphy and Painting Association. Jacob finally regained some recognition and stood a little straighter. Mr. Bay hurried over when he heard the news and found that the painting was indeed extraordinary. So, he quickly instructed his secretary to shoot a video, capturing the details of the painting and posting it on the official account of the Calligraphy and Painting Association on the short video platform to increase the influence of the calligraphy and painting exhibition.Soon, Charlie saw the introduction of this painting on the official short video account of the Calligraphy and Painting Association. In the video, the cameraperson used a cell phone to capture many details of the painting, especially the lifelike portrait of Marcius and the inscription by Charlie himself.This video caused a great sensation among the circle of fans of the Calligraphy and Painting As

    So, he focused on all the private jets and cargo planes flying to the northern hemisphere first, paying attention to all their routes. Once this video went viral, if a certain plane turned back over the ocean and flew back to Argentina, that plane would almost definitely be the plane that the three elders were on.Meanwhile, on the edge of Antarctica, Fleur was also closely monitoring every move in Aurous Hill.A cargo plane dispatched by the Central Military Governor Office this morning had just flown over Aurous Hill an hour ago. The plane's destination was Lisken, near Aurous Hill. Just as it passed over Aurous Hill, it lowered its altitude according to air traffic control requirements, and it happened to capture the terrain of Aurous Hill very clearly.The photos taken on the plane were quickly transmitted back to the Qing Eliminating Society’s headquarters. Fleur immediately discovered a circular blank area with a radius of hundreds of meters in a valley near Willow Manor.She

    Fleur was in disbelief. After living for four hundred years, she never thought that she would see the name ‘Marcius Stark’ again! He was her master who had already passed away more than three hundred years ago!She quickly picked up her phone again and tapped on the push notification with trembling hands. The phone immediately redirected her to the short video app and started playing the video from the Calligraphy and Painting Association.In the video, Marcius was wearing a robe as he stood on the edge of a cliff with long hair and a white beard that fluttered in the wind, giving off an extraordinary aura that inspired awe.Fleur instinctively covered her mouth, and her eyes filled with fear. She was in a state of panic as she murmured to herself, “How could Master's portrait appear in Aurous Hill? But Master has been gone for more than three hundred years, so who painted this portrait of him?!”Her heart seemed to be struck by a heavy hammer, and she anxiously thought to herself,

    It had been over three hundred years since Fleur had felt such fear as she did today.That unfamiliar feeling of fear surged into her mind like a flood, giving her the sensation as if she was on an accelerating descent. Despite living for four hundred years and growing stronger with time, her courage seemed to diminish as she aged. Over the years, she had feared two things the most: growing old and dying, and that her true identity would be exposed.Thus, even though there were many members in the Qing Eliminating Society, very few actually knew the true identity of its leader.Apart from the four great earls, all the rest were the Griffin family members. Those Griffin family members were all descendants of Fleur as well, and they relied on her for their luxurious lifestyles, so their loyalty to her was extremely high.As for the rebellious few among the Griffins, Fleur never showed them any mercy. If they deserved to die, she made sure they did, and she showed no hesitation in e

    This made Fleur think of Mr. Chardon, who had already died in the explosion. She couldn't help but say, “That’s right! Mr. Chardon found a magical instrument as soon as he arrived in Aurous Hill, and it could even summon heavenly thunder. Now, it seems that this was definitely not Mr. Chardon's luck but rather a trap set up by the other party targeting him in advance!”“If that's the case, he must have been waiting to kill the people I sent! He knew that I would definitely send experts proficient in Reiki, so he deliberately used the magical instrument as bait to lure my people into the trap!”With this in mind, Fleur no longer cared to sort through the countless clues and possibilities in her mind. She just wanted to call the three elders back quickly. After all, if the other party wasn't afraid of even Mr. Chardon’s self-detonation, the three elders might not be his match either.If these three people were to arrive in Aurous Hill and be completely killed in the trap set by the ot

    Charlie instantly felt that the situation was turning around when he saw that the three elders’ plane had turned around. Although he was at a clear disadvantage when facing the Qing Eliminating Society, he had repeatedly emerged victorious in several encounters with them. At present, the Qing Eliminating Society had not only lost an entire dead soldier base and three great earls, but more importantly, his strategy to present a bold front and conceal his weakness had begun to make Fleur wary.Charlie had speculated on Fleur’s inner thoughts. Although he had never met her, he could sense several key traits of this woman. She was naturally suspicious and extremely cautious. If she weren't naturally suspicious, she would never have employed nepotism, with the core of the Qing Eliminating Society being controlled entirely by the Griffins. If she weren't extremely cautious, she wouldn't have been constantly hiding her identity out of fear that outsiders would find out about her.Theref

    Charlie glanced at the time. It wasn't even noon yet, so he said, “Yesterday's battle was really exhausting. Now that Fleur has withdrawn the three elders back to the Qing Eliminating Society's headquarters, I can finally heave a sigh of relief. I'll have a good rest at home in the afternoon first and then go see my grandparents in the evening.”Vera agreed as she chimed in and said, “Young Master, you have truly been through a lot from last night until now. You should really rest well.”She then added in a soft voice, “In that case, I won't disturb your rest anymore, Young Master. When you finish handling your matters at hand, feel free to contact me anytime if you still want to see me.”Charlie said, “I'll go to Champs Elys hot spring villa to see my grandparents first tonight. Later, I'll bring some pills with me and visit Scarlet Pinnacle Manor. Since I promised those three old gentlemen today to give them an opportunity, I can't let them wait too long, especially so for Mr. San

    Holding up a thumb at Charlie, Julien exclaimed in approval, "You're right, my friend! That's far more exciting than having him jailed!"Just hearing that he would be sent to a kennel, Jimmy knew nothing would come of it—even if he didn't know the details, it was so obvious that Julien was thrilled by the very idea!Turning nervously toward Charlie, he was sobbing as he asked, "Mr. Wade…? What's this about a kennel…?"Julien chuckled coolly even before Charlie said a word. "A kennel is where you keep dogs, of course. Though there are literal dogs and metaphorical dogs, and you are the latter."Oh, don't worry. It's a really nice place where you get your own cage, and you'll be fed every day. You don't even have to work, so just sit tight and keep eating until the day you die."Jimmy's soul left his body in that instant.He was going to be locked in a cage?! That was way worse than being locked up and sent to jail! Where was the humanity around here?!Even as the thought struck h

    Matilda was actually caught off guard by Jimmy's pleas, and even Paul found it hard to watch.Turning to Charlie, he said, "Please, Mr. Wade—my uncle can be a little despicable, but he is my father's brother. Please, let him have a chance to turn over a new leaf, seeing that he's earnestly repenting."While Paul spoke with Charlie, Jimmy was still confused and wondered why Paul would plead his case with Charlie instead of Julien. If there was anyone Paul should ask, it was Yolden since he was Julien's friend. So, why would he ask some young man instead of Yolden?That was when Charlie asked in curiosity, "You want to let him off? After he tried to take away your parents' legacy?"Paul smiled awkwardly. "I mean, I know the guy. He made sure to travel all this way to make a scene because he had nothing legal that could help him claim Smith Group Corporate Law from us. Otherwise, he'd have already filed the lawsuit in the States. Sure, it's a dirty move, but that's basically a des

    As Julien finished, he realized something was wrong and turned toward Charlie before he knew it.Charlie held his gaze in turn, his expression quizzical and amused.Julien cleared his throat right then. "See, there are people who can order me around, but they have my utmost respect. However, a third-rate lawyer like you? Who do you think you are?"That was when Julien's butler called, and he reported respectfully as soon as the call was answered, "Sir, I've spoken with Nate Ellis, the owner of Ares LLC. He has since agreed to fire Jimmy Smith right away as well as disbar him nationwide."Julien asked, "Good. Anything else?""Well, Mr. Ellis also delivered some documents that can be used as evidence against Jimmy Smith, which he claims is enough for a lifetime sentence. If you deem it necessary, we can have it sent to the FBI.""Yes, let's go with that!" Julien replied, his tone satisfied. "And ask the director to handle it personally—I want this prick to never set foot stateside

    Jimmy was sweating profusely in fear, but he argued back before he knew it, "That's impossible! Everything you say is bullshit! Gaiman simply thought he had a fair chance of winning and didn't want to pay Ares that much, and I have no idea who he partnered with, and I'm certainly not involved. Don't you try to slander me!"Nate chuckled. "Come on, Jimmy. We're all adults here, so there are things we shouldn't have to be so direct about. Mills Gaiman and your old classmate met in private many times, not to mention the private conferences you three had in secret, discussing your overall strategy and decisive points. Just so you know, Gaiman recorded every conversation, and I have the tapes with me."Jimmy's heart was left pounding as he blurted, "B-Bullshit! That's impossible!""Grow up, Jimmy," Mr.Goodman chuckled. "Every partner in every law firm always strives to rise higher, so I'm going to need as much leverage as I can. Otherwise, I'm not about to let them advance any further, e

    Although the ringtone and vibration frequency were the ones Jimmy always used, this call somehow felt more urgent, leaving him exceedingly uneasy.When it abruptly stopped and left a missed call on his log, Nate Ellis soon sent a text: [Answer your damn phone this instant!]Just seeing the text left Jimmy feeling like his throat had gone dry, and as he gulped, it felt like his throat was being ripped, leaving him hurting.Still, he couldn't care less as his boss called again.Having seen the text, Jimmy didn't hesitate this time and promptly answered, watching Julien's smug face as he started tentatively, "Y-Yes, boss...?"Nate immediately yelled at him hysterically, "What the hell did you do?! Why did the Rothschilds call to complain about you?! And the complaint was from their heir apparent, at that! I worked hard for them and always toed the line for years, and I still haven't gotten a chance to meet the man, so how the fuck did you upset him?!"Jimmy's heart sank to rock bott

    Fuming, Jimmy snapped at Julien, "If you insist on playing it like that, I will call my boss, and you can talk to him yourself!"Julien chuckled. "That's unnecessary. I've never met him. He would never recognize my voice."Jimmy laughed and nodded despite himself. "Impressive—you can really come up with anything! You don't have his number because he's beneath you, you refuse to call him because he's beneath you, and when I say I'll call him for you, you say he won't recognize your voice. Well, how do you suppose we should sort this out? At least prove you're a Rothschild, or anyone could claim that they are—"Julien held up a hand to stop him. "Then, how about this? I'll ask my butler to talk to your boss."Jimmy laughed even more loudly as if it were the best joke ever. "Hahaha!!! Butler, you say?! You really know how to talk! Alright, I'll wait and see what your 'butler' can do… I mean, what you can do. We'll see whether my boss calls me!"Julien ignored him and whipped out his

    Naturally, Jimmy couldn't care less about Julien's suggestion, even looking at him pointedly from head to toe while smirking in contempt, "What, do you think I'd just do what any nutjob tells me to do just because they're claiming to be the Rothschilds' heir apparent?"Julien nodded, still smiling. "Good point, but don't worry—it's the same whether you call him or he calls you."Jimmy laughed. "I was offering you a way out, but you want to keep pressing your luck? Since you don't care to back off, let's see how you're going to finish this fight."Then, he shrugged while pointing at Yolden. "Well, it's the perfect chance to measure Matilda's husband, I guess."Based on what he saw of Yolden, there was no way he would buy Julien's claims, and thus labeled him an impostor in his mind.An ordinary lecturer in Aurous Hill, being friends with the Rothschilds' heir apparent? Not to mention that there had been plenty of fraudulent cases outside the States where the Rothschild name was use

    Jimmy was taken aback since he didn't recognize Julien at all, mainly because the Rothschilds had always kept out of the public eye.In fact, it was basically impossible to gather genuine information about the Rothschilds online, as it was a mix of press releases and gossip. Most online biographies would only be about the older generations or certain frivolous figures. Any information about key members like Steve would never be searchable online.Matilda was confused as well, not quite understanding who Julien was since he wasn't on the list of guests invited.Seeing that she was confused, Julien turned and smiled at Yolden, "So, Professor, shouldn't you introduce me to the bride?"Yolden finally remembered that and quickly nodded, "Sorry, it slipped my mind."Turning toward Matilda, he smiled, "Darling, this is Julien Rothschild… A friend of mine from the states…"Julien's full name left everyone within earshot gaping as the Rothschild name was way too famous across the globe.

    Seeing that Jimmy was getting a little nervous, Charlie smiled and assured him, "Please, you have nothing to worry about. No one's going to do anything to you, but if you feel threatened in any way, you can call the cops. The Oskian emergency hotline is 110, by the way."Jimmy was slightly relieved as he could see that Charlie really wasn't trying to make things awkward for him, and he straightened his collar as he said, "Actually, I didn't mean to cause trouble—I'm pleased that Matilda has found true love once more, and if we can be friends, I can set aside my claim and stay for the rest of this wedding, offering the newlyweds our best wishes as a representative of my family."Still, his expression showed contempt as he turned toward Yolden. "Also, I'm really curious and looking forward to seeing what connections Professor Hart might have that you say could be better than Bill.""You'll see soon enough," Charlie smiled and nodded.Jimmy remained skeptical and scoffed, "I really do
