“Then let’s hope that you have a really big appetite.”
Harvey York had an indifferent expression.
“This watch is fake, an imitation of the lowest level, extremely stupid that it isughable. Anyone
with the least amount ofmon sense could’ve seen past this. An appraisal isn’t even required.”
“You are so hriously ignorant!”
Luis Zarate could not help but point right at Harvey’s nose.
‘This con man has crossed the line! How dare he even spout these nonsense?’
Rosalie Naiswell looked at Harvey with a hint of disappointment.
‘Losing against a professional like Luis isn’t shameful, but Harvey’s attitude makes him look really
bad.’
Rosalie seemed a little suspicious. Why did Harvey give off apletely different vibepared to
before? Has she misjudged him?
Charles Zarate casually nced at Harvey and smiled.
“It’s good to bepetitive when you’re young. But sometimes, you’d have to admit when you have
lost. There is no point in being a sore loser.”
Naturally, Charles was also sure that the antique watch was the real deal.
Cough cough.
Shane Naiswell cleared his throat as he looked deeply into Harvey and reminded him.
“Oh Harvey. If you really think that the antique watch is fake, you’d have to at least give a proper
exnation.”
Harvey took a quick nce at Shane. That old fox had already known the answer but wouldn’t help
Harvey, instead he wanted Harvey to spell it out himself. Clearly, Shane was trying not to offend
Charles.
‘What a bunch of nice people, these old foxes.’
Harvey sighed and said calmly, “Luis’ analysis was very thorough, and I have gained some
knowledge from this as well. I did not know that there are so many different ways to deconstruct a
Rolex watch…”
After hearing what Harvey said, Luis could not help but let out a proud smile.
‘Looks like this con man is about to confess.’
“However,” Harvey kept talking as he rubbed on his eyebrow.
“There seems to be a tentative mistake. I’m sure everyone here can tell which watch model this is,
correct?”
“Rolex’s Submariner, also known as the Water Ghost and this particr watch is the prototype for
the Water Ghost.”
Luis groaned. This was all basic knowledge, how could he not have known?
“So in which year was the first generation Water Ghost invented?”
“The year 1953…” Luis unconsciously uttered.
Luis immediately realized something as soon as he said that.
The Water Ghost series was only avable from the year 1953, but the “Tiffany” logo on the antique
watch, ording to what Luis had said himself, was a special deal during 1940 to 1943 in America
by Tiffany shop branches.
The time difference between the watch and the logo were ten years apart. This was one of the most
common tentative mistakes, therefore the watch was clearly fake.
A shame that Luis was only factoring in the technicalities to the historical evolution of said antique
watch for appraisal, but had forgotten aboutmon sense.
“Two hundred dors, tops.” Harvey spoke calmly.
“Master Naiswell, you have been duped if you bought the watch for anything more than that
amount.”
Shane’s eyes twitched and was rendered speechless. He had spent one thousand dors for this,
but if what the kid said was true then he was taken advantage of.
“How… How is this possible…”

Luis grabbed the so-called antique watch, refusing to believe Harvey’s deduction, and flipped to the
back of the watch. His body started to tremble as soon as he saw the simple and crude core of the
watch.
‘A fake watch! As fake as it can be!’
The crucial point being that he had made a misjudgement about the said watch and lost to a con
man.
Rosalie’s mouth slightly opened. Her astonished eyes stared intensely at Harvey while she was
blushing.
She doubted Harvey’s capabilities before, until Harvey had deduced whether the watch was fake or
not using the least amount of effort. This was not a talent that someone like Luis could have.
At that moment, Harvey and Luis’ rankings in her heart are set!
