Chapter 326 Francesca voiced her concern, Andrew, you dont know anything about antiques, let alone artifact authentication.


    Maybe we should bail after all, this is Jayrodale, and even though were dealing with Orion and Aspen, whats the worst they could do? Andrew raised an eyebrow and replied, Who told you I dont know about antiques ? He took the bronze statue from Cedrics hands, weighed it carefully, and turned to Orion. Since youre letting me go first, I wont hold back.


    Now, why dont you authenticate this piece? Orion was stunned for a moment before breaking intoughter


    You fool, this is nothing but a fake, and you dare test me with it? Listen carefully this is a replica of the famous piece from the Hall of Faith.


    Unfortunately for you, the original was destroyed during the civil wars of the early 20th century. Several antique experts in the room nodded in agreement.


    Thats correct this statue is just a replica, they chimed in.


    The original was destroyed long ago.


    Young man, you shouldnt waste such a golden opportunity.


    Aspen sneered, And here I thought you had some real skills, but this is all youve got! Orion scoffed, Boy, Ive authenticated your worthless piece.


    Now its your turn to examine my collection.


    Andrew smiled and shook his head


    I thought you would have more expertise than this.


    Orions face reddened with anger


    What? Are you trying to back out? Andrew spoke coldly, Antique authentication is about separating truth from fiction and getting to the bottom of things.


    Everyone can see this bronze statue is a replica, and your assessment is no different from anyone elses. Your so called authentication is worthless.


    Orion argued, Stop beating around the bush


    Just tell me, am I right or wrong? Dont try to weasel out of this.


    The Radiant Groups expert panel will prove in a minute that my word is gospel.


    Elsie whispered, Mr.


    Lloyd, this bronze statue is indeed a replica, no doubt about it.


    Many people wore mocking smiles, thinking Andrew was just a sore loser.


    Suddenly, Andrew smashed the bronze statue on the ground.


    Cedric stammered, T There goes my million dors.


    Aspen shook his head in contempt.


    Self destructive thats all you amount to


    Orion crossed his arms andughed, Whats wrong, young man ? Throwing a tantrum ? Chapter 326 Ignoring the whispers around him, Andrew searched through the bronze fragments on the floor until he found a small ck pearl.


    Andrew remained nonchnt.


    I already told you youre just a fraud, Mr.


    Kelce, but you wouldnt believe me.


    This is real authentication


    See this? Orions expression darkened, but he defended himself, So what if theres a pearl inside? That only means I didnt authenticate itpletely.


    You cant say my earlier assessment was nonsense.


    Andrew shook his head, I already said that authentication requires thorough investigation, digging deep until you find the true treasure.


    You were blind to see this as just an ordinary bronze statue, calling it trash.


    But you failed to recognize this priceless pearl inside.


    It only proves youre nothing but hot air ! At the mention of the priceless pearl, many people were visibly shocked.
