The Amazing Son in Law The Charismatic Charlie Wade

“Enough with the excuses.” Zachary impatiently waved his hand. “Let me tell you the truth. I asked for three million just to attract undercover agents. Any genuine antique connoisseur would publicly ridicule us upon hearing that price. They would outright refuse. My intention is to play along, gather more clues when they’re lured in.”

He continued, a smug grin forming on his face. “But let me tell you, your little trick won’t work on me!”

Gideon was rendered momentarily speechless. He hadn’t anticipated that the three million dollar offer had been intended for such a purpose all along.

Considering his earlier speculations, he firmly believed that this group of people was a tomb-robbing gang specializing in selling stolen antiques. Zachary’s words only reinforced his conviction.

After all, he believed that a criminal organization capable of long-term survival must be cautious and cunning, employing countless methods to evade detection. Doubting everything was a necessary precaution.

In light of China’s stringent and cautious organizational structure, Gideon had no doubts about Zachary’s performance. The more he feared Zachary’s misunderstanding, the quicker he smiled and pleaded, “Boss, you’ve truly misunderstood me. I’m not an undercover agent. I genuinely want to purchase something I like…”

“Alright, alright,” Zachary dismissed him with a perfunctory tone. “Say whatever you want. You enjoy fine things, don’t you? If you like them so much, go on a shopping spree in the antique street and buy more. Just don’t interfere with my business.”

Witnessing Zachary’s indifference and his refusal to listen to his explanation, Gideon seethed with anger, wishing he could strike Zachary down right then and there. But he quickly dismissed those

thoughts. He knew his mission in Aurous Hill all too well. His orders from the Lord were clear, eliminate the Evans family and wait for Bruce’s son to reveal himself.

Having arrived in Aurous Hill alone, he should have immediately set out to fulfill his task. Yet, he had disembarked from the plane and made a beeline for the antique street. If any trouble arose from this, if word reached the Lord’s ears, he would have no way to justify his actions.

Hence, Gideon suppressed the anger simmering within him and in an almost pleading tone he said to Zachary, “Brother, please understand me. If you don’t trust me, just provide me with your bank account number. I’ll transfer the three million directly to you! After all, no undercover agent would genuinely spend three million to buy your antiques, right?”

“Well, who knows,” Zachary sneered, his lips curling. “I’m not an enforcement officer. I’ve never encountered one before. What good would your money do? If you really are an undercover agent, that money would be your mission fund. You wouldn’t need to pay for it yourself. Once I receive the money, I would be convicted of illegally reselling antiques. At that point, you would flash your police badge and slap on the handcuffs. I’d be arrested, the money returned and I’d be singing behind bars, crying in regret. That’s what you’re trying to accomplish, isn’t it?”

“Why won’t you listen!” Gideon stomped his feet anxiously. He never imagined that this man would be so cautious, perhaps even overly cautious.

Moreover, no matter what he said, Zachary refused to believe him. He wouldn’t even entertain the idea of receiving the money. There was no room for a moment of reflection!

In his heart, he cursed furiously, “Damn it, if I didn’t have to abide by the law, I’d rip your head off!”

Gideon seethed with anger, his fury blinding him to the fact that his rage had made him vulnerable to believing every word that came out of Zachary’s mouth. Unbeknownst to him, he had unwittingly adopted Zachary’s perspective as his own.
