The beautiful woman glanced at Andrey with gentle eyes, then slowly sized him up from head to toe, making Andrey feel a tingling sensation all over.“Alright, my name is Sean. Come with me—I need your help. We’ll discuss this at a nearby café.”The beautiful woman, whose name turned out to be Sean, extended her porcelain-white hand.With a friendly smile, Andrey took her hand and introduced himself.“I’m Andrey.”Andrey then asked about her car, but Sean simply called a tow truck with ease and asked for Andrey’s office address. She had the company car sent back, while the two of them got into the Rolls-Royce and headed to a café.After ordering drinks, Andrey asked curiously,“So, what does Miss Sean need me to do to pay this compensation?”He was puzzled. He hadn’t expected to meet a kind-hearted rich woman who didn’t ask for money. He didn’t know that he was being saved purely by his fairy-like good looks.But the words that came out of Sean’s mouth left him stunned.“No need to be

“My father has recently become obsessed with calligraphy and ancient paintings. I really can’t think of the reason, but that’s how it is.”Andrey fell into thought at this moment, wondering whether he even understood items like these.[Ding! Antique Center at Proliman, Madiun detected. Would you like to check in? (Yes/No)]Andrey suddenly smiled when he heard the notification in his head.He immediately answered in his mind, “Yes! Check in!”After that, he followed Sean as they strolled around Proliman in search of antiques.As the name suggested, countless antique vendors were scattered along both sides of the street. However, Andrey ignored them for the time being and wanted to see the reward he had obtained.[Ding! Congratulations, you have obtained the Scanning Skill. Current duration: 20 minutes.]After hearing the system’s reward description, Andrey felt satisfied.“Well, not bad. I got a scanning skill. But it’s a pity the duration is only 20 minutes.”Andrey felt a little disa

Sean’s house was located in one of the well-known areas in Madiun, Grape Villa. Although it was slightly below Madiun Asri, the villas here were only a bit cheaper, at around 100 billion rupiah. Most of the people living in Grape Villa were either wealthy individuals or local officials. At this moment, a special guest had arrived at Sean’s house. “Oh, Tole, my boy. Come in, come in! Don’t just stand at the door! Please, have a seat.” At this time, Sean’s parents were entertaining the special guest they had chosen for their daughter. “Thank you, Uncle Su, Aunt Natalie.” The guest was a young man in his mid-twenties, dressed in spotless white clothes and possessing remarkably fair skin. He was none other than Tole from the Seno Family, the young prince of the well-known Seno Group in Madiun. Coincidentally, Sean’s father, Suroso, and Tole’s father, Djoyo Seno, were old acquaintances. The two companies they led often cooperated with each other from time to time. That was why, w

Andrey slowly stepped forward and lightly scraped his hand across the corner of the painting. Then, he tore it.Mr. Chen grew even angrier and was about to curse,“Young man, you—!”However, his words came to an abrupt halt when a new image appeared behind the torn layer of paper.Mr. Chen froze and murmured in disbelief,“A fake on top of the real one? Is this even possible?”He immediately pushed Andrey aside and personally tore away the soaked painting himself.This made Andrey smile wryly.When all the fragments of the replica had been completely removed, Mr. Chen held the painting with utmost seriousness and reverence.His voice trembled as he muttered,“This… this… this is the original work of Raden Saleh from the 18th century, the one rumored to have mysteriously disappeared overnight! I never imagined the real piece would be hidden beneath layers of forgery. Incredible!”After fully admiring the authentic ancient painting, Mr. Chen turned around and looked at Andrey.“So, hono

Tole knew that if he insisted, his father would really buy women for him until he ran out of breath and died from kidney failure.So he could only stay silent and accept everything.Then Seno explained to his son,“Tole, do you think any random rich stranger could just come in here without verification? Use your brain! If a guy named Andrey can get in and approach Villa No. 1, it means he has ability and connections. What does that mean? It’s better to make friends than enemies. So, go greet him politely. If necessary, apologize for any past rudeness.”Then Seno paused and added his usual threat,“Come on! Go now, I want to see how far you can stretch yourself in the future. Remember, my son must be thick-skinned and able to stretch easily to make connections. Trust me, if you are rich, you can buy any beautiful woman. Even if she’s unattractive at first, you can pay for plastic surgery and she will become beautiful. As long as there’s money, anything is possible.”In the end, Tole wa
