Kingston chuckled proudly after he heard Matt's appraisal for the painting.He had chosen correctly! Matt had cleared all of Kingston's doubts in his analysis. That was the standard of an internationally renowned antique appraisal master's apprentice.Besides that, Matt looked really handsome. What a perfect match with her daughter!Yvonne nodded her head in agreement too.Matt's antique appraisal talent was really impressive.The antique seller, Austin, gave Matt a thumbs up. "Looks like you are a professional, Mister! You analyzed the painting so easily, but clearly."Matt smiled proudly but did not reply. As an apprentice to a famous antique appraisal master, he had gotten used to all the attention and compliments.Kingston laughed happily and said, "Fine then, Austin, I shall buy it!"One billion bucks! Even though he needed to spend his entire fortune, he still felt that it was worth it. If he sold the painting later, he would quickly gain 3 billion bucks.Yvonne was deli

Everyone stared at Darryl and the fold that he had made on the painting.Darryl laughed. "Mister Austin, you said that if the painting is a fake, you will retire from the antique business?"Austin dared not reply after he saw the Gull Folding Method. Prior to that, he had sought the help of dozens of antique appraisers, and all of them had confirmed that the painting was genuine. Darryl was not even someone famous in the field; how could he determine that the painting was a fake one?Austin got upset. "Yes, and I will repeat it. If this painting is a fake, I shall leave the antique business! However, if it were proven to be genuine, then you shall kneel and apologize to me!"Darryl took a deep breath.

Lily felt so emotional as she stood at the side.Even though she did not have much knowledge in antiques, she had heard about Simon Joe; he was always at antique events. She did not expect Simon had so much respect for her husband.Darryl ended the call and threw the painting aside. Then, he said, "Mister Austin, you said that if the painting is a fake, you will retire from the antique business.""I—" Austin was furious. Suddenly, he dropped to the ground; he had fainted.Darryl smiled and then turned to look at Kingston. "Mister Young, when I walked in here just now, I saw an engraved vase from the Qing dynasty at the third stall on the left. It is worth buying if it is priced below 20 million bucks."Even though Darryl spoke softly, many in the crowd heard him."Let's go get it!" Someone in the crowd shouted, and everyone rushed toward the third stall!Everyone believed Darryl's words; no one would doubt him!Kingston was worried; at his age, how could he reach the third stal

Darryl sighed.Miss Isabella had pretty good skills, but she was also stubborn.Time passed by quickly.The competition was only for one hour. At about 50 minutes in, more than half of the contestants had completed their elixir.Bang!Suddenly, there was a loud noise from Isabella's cauldron, followed by the strong burnt smell.The pot was all badly scorched, and there was no elixir.She had failed! How was that possible?!Isabella paled; she was in shock. How did that happen?She had made the Energy Enhancer Pill many times before that, and she had never had any problem with it. How could she have failed then?That was the consequence when one did not listen to others.Darryl sighed and said, "Miss Isabella, I told you.
