Chapter 5357

As Zachary reminisced, his thoughts swirled within “Back when I got swindled on Antique Street, none
of you looked down on me. Who was the one constantly shouting and gossiping about Zachary? But
now, with Don Albert, you suddenly call me Brother.”

Amused by these memories, Zachary smirked and addressed the crowd, “To be honest, I’m no longer
associated with Don Albert.”

“What?” They had just cheerfully called him brother.

One man quickly inquired, “Zachary, you were doing well with Don Albert. Why the sudden change of
heart?”

“That’s right,” chimed another man. “I’m talking about Zachary. Isn’t it better for you to enjoy spicy food
and drinks with Don Albert instead of dealing with these things in Antique Street?”

A woman selling counterfeit copper coins grinned and asked, “Zachary, did you mess up and get kicked
out by Don Albert?”

Zachary waved his hand nonchalantly. “Don’t mention those things. I’m planning to come back and set
up my stall again.” Then, he gazed at the man who had greeted him earlier and said, “Ladden Harrow,
when I left, I let you use my old stall for free. Look, I’ve returned now and you’re still occupying my spot.
Give it back to me.”

Ladden Harrow hastily waved his hand and replied, “Hey, don’t say that, Zachary. When you left, you
made a promise not to return to Antique Street. So, that stall was relinquished forever. I took it over.
You’re a person of great influence. You can’t go back on your word.”

Zachary smiled and said, “Ladden, you think I’m a coward, don’t you? Well, let me tell you, I got my
freedom from Don Albert. Leaving wasn’t his decision, it was mine, Zachary’s.”



“Blow it out your mouth and be gone,” Ladden retorted with a sneer. “We’ve known each other for so
many years, don’t I know you? Do you think I don’t know how thrilled you were when you left the stall to
follow Don Albert? Now you claim to have left him voluntarily. Why should I believe you?”

Zachary grinned. “I’ll tell you the truth, Mr. Harrow. I used to have a close friend who specialized in
creating exquisite antiques. Now, he has become a renowned businessman in Hong Kong. He wants
me to collaborate with him in creating antiques, targeting those wealthy Hong Kong bosses worth
billions. Perhaps we could earn millions from a single order. Isn’t that better?”

The listeners widened their eyes in disbelief.

Ladden exchanged glances with the others, stepped forward and offered an apologetic smile. “Brother
Zachary, I dare say you’ve discovered a new avenue for making money. We can’t underestimate the
opportunity to work with Don Albert!”

“Hey!” Zachary raised his hand solemnly, pointing his palm at the crowd. “It’s not that I, Zachary,
underestimate Don Albert. The ancients said that good birds choose good trees. I can only say that
Don Albert’s towering tree doesn’t suit my growth. After all, I’ve been in the antique business for so
many years, and it’s the craft I excel at the most.”

Another man stepped forward, gently tugging at Zachary’s arm. “Brother Zachary, since you’ve found
such a lucrative path, can’t you take me along? Look at your brother here, I’ve been hanging around
Antique Street for years, but I haven’t landed a big catch. I can barely make ends meet throughout the
year. If you have a good income source, can you lend a hand, please?”

He pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, extracted one and courteously extended it to
Zachary “Come on, Brother Zachary, have a smoke!”

Zachary accepted the cigarette, placed it between his lips and smiled. “Tommy, if you genuinely want to
make money with me, it won’t be easy. Consider it carefully. But I don’t know if you’re reliable or if you’ll



be committed…”

Tommy hastily retrieved his lighter and while lighting Zachary’s cigarette, spoke respectfully, “Zachary,
Brother, as long as you’re willing to take me with you, I’ll work hard without complaints!”

Ladden on the side quickly added, “Brother Zachary, take me along too! I might not have any
outstanding qualities, but I’m obedient! As long as I’m by your side, I’ll follow your lead and fight
wherever you point!”

Others also expressed their sincerity towards Zachary at that moment. Their conviction was evident,
Zachary had undoubtedly discovered a lucrative income source, directly linked to antiques. Not only
was Zachary skilled in this field, but everyone was also familiar with it. They all desired a taste of
Zachary’s success.

At this juncture, Zachary spoke indifferently, “Everyone, I’ve just returned, and my new business hasn’t
settled completely. I don’t need so many people initially. So, for now, let Ladden and Tommy join me.
Don’t worry if others don’t get their turn. Once things stabilize, everyone will have a share!”

Disappointment flickered in the other’s eyes, but Ladden Harrow and Tommy Swarley were brimming
with excitement.

Excitedly, the two friends pulled Zachary away to a secluded area where they could speak privately.
Ladden spoke obsequiously, “Brother Zachary, you can use your booth anytime you want. If it’s not
enough, you can even use mine.”

Zachary took a drag from his cigarette and inquired, “Tell me the truth, how much money do you two
make in a month now?”



Ladden raised his hand and said, “Brother Zachary, let me go first. You know my situation. I’m not as
smooth-tongued as you, and I’m not as skilled in the art of deception. In a good month, I can only earn
10,000 to 20,000. Sometimes, I barely make enough to cover the booth fee…”

Tommy chimed in as well, echoing Brother Zachary’s sentiments. “Indeed, Brother Zachary, my
situation isn’t much better. We’re already at the end of August, and this month I’ve barely managed to
make a net profit of $3,000. The competition on Antique Street is fierce, and those scammers are
selling everything. I used to sell counterfeit five-emperor coins, and I could easily get ten or twenty
dollars for each. But now, those new fools are selling them for just a dollar. Can you believe it? The
cost price for a single string is 80 cents, and yet they sell it for a dollar. I’m at my wit’s end with this
relentless onslaught of challenges I’m facing!”

Zachary smiled and turned to the two of them “Well, let’s not say that Zachary doesn’t take care of you.
In the next couple of days, my connections will bring several influential Hong Kong businessmen here.
You two won’t need to set up a stall. One of you will go to the airport and the other will head to the high-
speed rail station. Hold up a sign for me to pick them up!”

“Pick them up?” Ladden and Tommy exchanged glances and the latter asked, “Brother Zachary, isn’t
picking people up an unskilled job? How much will we get paid for it?”

Zachary smiled mysteriously and replied, “Let me tell you, the people you’ll be picking up are wealthy
clients who spend a fortune. Sometimes, they’re unable to show up in person, so they send
representatives. When they see you upon arrival, they’ll come forward willingly. Don’t underestimate
this job, it has its perks. I’ll pay each of you 3,000per day!”

“3,000 per person a day?” The two were momentarily speechless but couldn’t contain their excitement.
Three thousand a day, this income far surpassed what they earned from their stalls.



Zachary continued, “However, I can’t guarantee when the big clients will arrive, so you’ll have to be at
the airport and high-speed rail station every day, keeping watch. You’ll have to go early in the morning
and only return home after the flights and trains have ceased for the day. During this time, you mustn’t
miss a single arrival. If any of you successfully receives a client, I’ll reward an extra 10,000. But if any
of you miss a client, I won’t forgive you. Understand?”
