The Charismatic Charlie Wade

Chapter 5523

Without wasting any time, Jagoan promptly forwarded the photo to Hogan through WeChat, accompanying it with a recorded message, “Uncle Hogan, can you identify the individual standing next to my father?”

Hogan’s response was swift, a voice message crackling back, “Young Master, I’ve met the man in the picture before. His English name is Peter Cole. Though I can’t claim great familiarity with him, I know he’s a Chinese antique dealer with close ties to your father.”

As soon as Jagoan learned that Hogan was acquainted with the man, he wasted no time in dialing him up. As the call connected, he inquired with urgency, “Uncle Hogan, could you furnish me with a detailed introduction of this Peter Cole?”

Hogan obliged, “Peter Cole hails from a family entrenched in the overseas antique trade, primarily centered in Europe and the United States. Aside from the US, they have a presence in the UK and France. They’ve garnered some renown in the European and American antique circles.”

He appended, “The photo you sent is of Peter Cole’s emporium in New York. It’s said to be the first establishment the Cole family set up, so it’s rather modest and unassuming.”

Jagoan probed further, “Uncle Hogan, when was the last time you crossed paths with Peter Cole?”

Hogan reminisced, “It’s been quite a while. He dropped by a few times when I had my roast goose joint in Chinatown. Then, it seemed he thought I’d left New York, and we lost touch.”

Curiosity piqued, Hogan ventured, “Young Master, are you planning to seek out Peter?”

Jagoan responded calmly, “I intend to. When I’m in New York, my first stop will be his antique store. It’d be a stroke of luck if you could help me locate him.”

Without hesitation, Hogan offered, “Young Master, let me accompany you. I know New York well, and I’ve met Peter on several occasions.”

Jagoan inquired about Hogan’s availability, to which he quickly assured, him, “No problem at all. I was planning to report to the Young Master in Aurous Hill. My family matters are sorted now.”

Jagoan mulled it over before deciding, “Very well, then. What time can you depart?”
