Chapter 189
Bank transfers and cash payments may represent the same amount numerically, but their effects are
quite distinct.
While a bank transfer deals solely with digits, cash has a certain impact. Although 20,000 dors was
not a substantial sum, it was divided into two stacks. Nheless, Ryan and hispanions couldn’t
help but be captivated by the sight.
Though the amount of money was modest, it sessfully conveyed Oliver’s youthful affluence and his
inclination for collecting.
Oliver once again exemplified the demeanor of a wealthy person. He nodded and instructed Yvonne,
“Take a bag for them.”
Yvonne nodded briskly and departed, returning shortly after. In her hands was a Louis Vuitton brown
leather bag, prominently disying the unmistakable LV logo.
Yvonne carefully ced all the money into the bag, zipped it up, and politely presented it to Ryan. As
Ryan reached out to take the bag, she softly whispered to Ryan, “Sir, this bag costs about 24,000
dors. It is quite remarkable.”
Ryan was momentarily taken aback, and his eyelid twitched.
He thought to himself, “What the hell? The value of this bag used to hold the money is worth more than
the 20,000 dors inside. Oliver is so rich.”
Oliver then said to Fabian, “Fabian, please apany the guests for me.” Fabian quickly smiled and
apanied Ryan and the others out. Jason couldn’t openly discuss matters in front of others. When
Fabian apanied Ryan and the others out of the conference room, Jason quickly/whispered to
Oliver, “Oliver, why did you give them 20,000 dors? Weren’t you nning to gain their trust and then
call the police?” Oliver smiled and whispered, “Dad, all three items are genuine, not counterfeit. Why
would I need to involve the police?”
Jason was taken aback and questioned, “All genuine? Not… not fake? I thought this group was using
the same tactics as the people who deceived mest time. How could it be real?”
“Oliver chuckled and replied, “”Dad, you know best how I made my
11:21
fortune. This is my area of expertise, so no one can deceive me. Let me tell you, I made a significant
profit today!””
Jason was once again surprised and asked, “Made a significant profit? Really? Which item is valuable?
I just can’t see it.”
As he examined them, he flipped the three items on the table back and forth, trying to discern their
value but couldn’t.
While examining them, he quickly dismissed the worn-out fist
guidebook, tossing it aside with disdain. Then, he focused on the other two items.
After careful consideration, he lifted the jade ornament and asked Oliver, “Is this the most valuable
one? Is it worth tens of thousand of dors?”
Oliver shook his head and said with a smile, “Dad, the two items you like are worthless. Each of them is
worth only a few thousand dors. The most valuable one is the book that you overlooked.”
Ken was dumbfounded. He quickly picked up the old and tattered fist guidebook, flipping through it
carefully. He didn’t find anything -particrly remarkable. The pages were frayed, and the hand-drawn
portraits and writing inside had an antiquated charm. He wondered to himself, how much could this
thing possibly be worth?
“Son, do you think this old book is the most valuable? So it’s worth… How much is it worth?
At this time, Fabian came back. Several girls gathered around and asked how much it was worth.
Oliver stretched out two fingers and made a gesture.
Jason made an estimation and said, “20,000 dors?”
Oliver shook his head, simply smiling.
Ken’s heart skipped a beat and his voice trembled as he said, “200 thousand dors?”
Oliver smiled and shook his head again.
“Not right?” Jason was taken aback, feeling a bit confused. He thought to himself, “If it wasn’t worth
20,000 dors or 200 thousand dors, then how much could it be worth?”
Fabian stood there dumbfounded and interjected, “2 million dors?” Oliver smiled and shook his head
again.

Wayne, standing beside him, said in a dazed manner, “2,000 dors?”
Oliver gestured with two fingers and mentioned having made a
significant profit. But he had given 20,000 dors to Ryan and even gave away a luxurious bag worth
24,000 dors.
Extending one finger naturally represented the number “one.” In total, he had given away 44,000
dors. Since he said he made a significant profit, it certainly wasn’t 2,000 dors or 20,000 dors.
But Oliver had clearly stated that it wasn’t 200 thousand dors or 2 million dors, so how much could
it be worth?
Yvonne’s eyes twinkled. She pointed at the worn-out fist guidebook and skeptically asked Oliver, “Mr.
Eastwood, could this old book possibly be worth 20 million dors?”
Oliver nodded with a smile, “You’re right. It is worth at least 20 million dors.”
It was 20 million dors!
Oliver’s words almost caused everyone present to jump in shock.
Was this old book really worth 20 million dors?
Ken was also startled. His face changed, and his eyelids started twitching. He grabbed Oliver with a
trembling hand and said, “Son, this piece of shit… The book is worth 20 million dors?”
Oliver nodded affirmatively and replied, “It’s worth at least 20 million dors.”
Jason trembled and blushed, his heart racing so fast that he could barely catch his breath.
Oliver quickly patted his back to provide some relief and frowned, saying, “Dad, don’t be so excited,
OK? We made a profit…”
Oliver wanted to tell Jason the total amount he had earned in the past month, but the words didn’t
come out.
Since Jason didn’t have much education, no matter how big the number was, it would be just a number
to him. It wouldn’t be as impactful as witnessing the shocking 20 million dors being earned right in
front of his eyes.
Oliver secretly used the Immortality Energy to soothe his father, and then Ken’s face slowly returned to
normal.
Now Jason looked at the tattered book with a different expression.
11:211
He couldn’t understand how a book in such a dpidated state could be worth 20 million dors. Even if
it were left on the street, no one would bother picking it up.
What did 20 million dors mean?
For Jason and his family, it would provide a life of luxury and indulgence for generations toe.
Oliver had previously given Jason a cash deposit of 20 million dors from his earnings. However,
Jason didn’t fullyprehend its significance because he hadn’t witnessed Oliver earning that money.
Now, with this recent money-making endeavor, Jason had personally witnessed Oliver’s sess.
Jason had been deceived. Although the loss was minimal, only 600 dors, it was enough to
demonstrate that Jason didn’t have the knack for collecting.
Jason considered none of these items before him to be valuable. The tattered book, in particr, he
wouldn’t even consider worth bidding 2 dors for.
Jason remembered that when he was young, he would sell the textbooks to the firecracker makers at a
very cheap price once he were done with them.
For Jason, the value of the book paper was only surface-level. Even the firecracker makers wouldn’t
ept this worn-out book because it couldn’t be used for making firecrackers, not to mention the paper
was too tattered.
20 million dors was crazy!
After a moment of relief, Jason looked at the tattered book in disbelief and shook his head, saying, “20
million dors, huh? I… I really can’t figure out what makes it worth 20 million dors. Oliver, from now
on, I won’t ever dabble in collecting cultural relics again. I wouldn’t even buy something worth 20
dors!”
Jason always fell victim to some tricks and ended up making a loss. Although it seemed like the same
routine, Oliver managed to make astonishing money.
Jason thought, ‘And Oliver called this a huge profit?
It’s like earning more money than you can spend your whole life.’ Jason remembered how Oliver
helped those three scammers raise the price. The scammers initially asked for 4,000 dors, but Oliver
11:21
negotiated it up to 20,000 dors. At that time, Jason believed that Oliver was merely telling lies to
appease the scammers.
Now Jason realized that Oliver was telling the truth. He used to think that if Oliver wasn’t trying to
cate the scammers, then he must be a fool.
But now that Jason knew this book was worth 20 million dors, he couldn’t help but wonder if Oliver
was a profiteer.
Giving only 20,000 dors for something worth 20 million dors seemed like taking advantage of
others without offering fair
