Half an hour later, Darryl and Loona arrived at the antique street.Goodness!Darryl noticed a bustling crowd as he stood on the antique street, which was lined with antique shops on both sides. Even though he had mentally prepared himself, he could not help but secretly admire it.He had no idea the antique street would be so busy. He would have thought he was in Nine Mainland's antique market if he had not known any better."How about that?"Loona smiled broadly when she saw Darryl's stunning appearance. "I didn't lie to you, right?" she said smugly.Darryl nodded. "Not bad. It's not bad at all."While they were chatting, they began shopping at the roadside stalls. Darryl briefly explained the history and culture of the Nine Mainland to Loona while they were shopping.Loona was listening attentively. Her admiration for Darryl was growing too.Hmm?Darryl abruptly came to a halt after walking for some time. He could see two men in straw hats following them from behind.They
Darryl wanted to stop them once he realized what was happening, but he was too late.Pfft…After swallowing the poison, the men spat a mouthful of blood and stopped breathing almost simultaneously.Bloody hell!Darryl's face darkened when he saw that scene. He could not stop himself from swearing in his heart.Why were they so ferocious that they would rather die than submit?Darryl bent down and searched them while thinking about it. He soon discovered two intricately carved black jade slips.The Lange family?Darryl was taken aback when he saw the words on the black jade slip. His thoughts were racing.Darryl recognized the black jade slip as belonging to the Lange family, even though he rarely visited them. It represented a Lange family disciple. Since that black jade was so unique, it could not be replicated.The Lange family was following him.At that moment, Darryl stood there, unable to calm down for a long time.Did Circe send those men? Was it because Veron had gon
Why was he there?Loona furrowed her brows when she saw Elgar. She was secretly disgusted.Elgar squandered his life because his father was a leader. He had no desire to improve himself. He was nothing more than a spoiled brat.She got annoyed just by seeing people like that.Elgar did not seem to mind Loona's aloofness. He noticed the jade scroll in her hands. "Loona, do you like the jade scroll? I'll buy it for you."'Buy it for me?' Loona was stunned. Then, she chuckled and rejected his offer. "No need!"She knew exactly what Elgar was thinking. How could she possibly give him the chance?Uh…Elgar felt awkward seeing Loona reject him, but he refused to give up. "Loona, we have known each other since we were children; it is nothing much buying the jade scroll for you; why do you refuse?" he said.Loona was annoyed. She shook her head. "No need!"When the other customers saw that scene, they could not help but talk about it."How generous to spend a million dollars just to
Elgar was blind. It was one thing not knowing who Darryl was, but he even spoke so rudely.Elgar chuckled and said, "Loona, don't be angry. I didn't say anything wrong!"Loona was furious. She was about to scold him.Darryl smiled and said, "Loona, you should just accept his kind-hearted gift."Then, Darryl looked at Elgar and said, "If he is rich and stupid enough to spend so much money on a high-quality imitation, you should just accept it."Darryl had no grudge against Elgar, but Elgar had constantly insulted him. Even if Darryl had a good temper, he would not be able to take it.A fake?Loona shuddered and looked at Darryl in a daze. She found it hard to believe.How did he know that the jade scroll was a fake?"What did you say?"At the same time, Elgar's expressions changed too. A ball of fury rose in his heart. He glared at Darryl. "Who are you calling rich and stupid? Dude, you must be sick of living."Bloody hell, he did not even buy the gift for Loona, yet he dared
"That imitation technique is clever, but it is still an imitation!"Then, Darryl looked at the owner, smiled, and said, "I believe you have been in this industry for many years, but someone must have duped you."His tone was not loud, but it was unquestionable.Uh…The owner took a deep breath after hearing Darryl's clear explanation. His expression became more complicated.He obtained the jade scroll through a private auction. He had paid a few hundred thousand dollars for it. How could it be a forgery?However, the person in front of him was so sure of it.Darryl's confidence swayed the other customers. They began talking quietly amongst themselves."After hearing his explanation, can that item be a forgery?""It's hard to say!""If it's a fake, then that will be interesting."The owner's mind was a mess after hearing the discussions. He no longer had any opinion.Elgar sneered at Darryl and said, "You keep saying that the jade scroll is an imitation, but you have no proo
The jade scroll had lost its antique luster. Even though the texture was refined and white, it had a dull appearance. The inscription's color faded as well.More importantly, the antique traces on the jade scroll's corner have vanished.How could that have happened?The shop owner felt as if he had been struck by lightning at that moment. He was perplexed and trembling slightly.He had spent a few hundred thousand dollars on buying a counterfeit.Bloody hell! It truly was fake!Elgar's expression was hideous as well."Elgar!" Loona was in awe of Darryl's observation. At that moment, she looked at Elgar with disdain and coldly said, "If you don't understand antiques, don't simply buy them in the future. My friend had already said it is an imitation, yet you refuse to listen."Elgar was already in a bad mood. When he heard what Loona said, it added fuel to the fire. He was fuming."Bloody hell!" Elgar swore and grabbed the owner by the collar. "How dare you lie to me?"Then, he
"Don't worry, I'll deal with it," Darryl said softly and got Loona to step aside. Then, he welcomed their attack.As a man, Darryl understood how Elgar felt at that moment. How could he bear to be embarrassed in front of the person he liked? Which was why that fight was unavoidable.When the crowd saw the situation, they retreated backward, afraid of becoming involved in the fight.At that moment, Elgar looked at Darryl closely with scorn and smugness on his face.'Dude, how dare you go against me in my territory. I'll make you cry!'Elgar saw the man before him as nothing more than Loona's ordinary friend, devoid of power or support. He was no match for him.However, he was wrong!Bam!Darryl clashed with Elgar's men in the blink of an eye. There were a few muffled grunts. Elgar's men were already on the floor, wailing in pain before the crowd outside the door could see anything clearly.Darryl had already shown mercy. If not, they would have been dead already.What?Elgar'
When Darryl pointed out that his item was counterfeit, the shop owner was extremely unhappy, but Darryl stopped Elgar from smashing his shop in the nick of time. The owner admired such heroism.In response to the owner's concerns, Darryl smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's fine."Darryl saw Elgar as nothing more than a spoiled brat. He did not even consider him an adversary.Darryl's nonchalance worried the owner, but there was nothing he could do.Loona was also extremely calm. After all, Darryl was the guest of the Queen. He was not a person a spoiled brat like Elgar should offend.However, she felt helpless because Elgar refused to listen to her advice."Good one!"Elgar came to his senses at that precise moment. With a sour expression, he pointed at Darryl. "I dare you to wait for me here. Don't leave; I will go get help."Get help?Darryl was delighted to hear that. He nodded and said, "Okay, go get help."Then, he calmly walked forward to the side and sat on a chai
