Andrew's face instantly turned unpleasant, obviously thinking about the incident that happened yesterday.
"Andrew, there's no need to get upset over a guy who only knows how to take advantage of others," Luna said.
"Hey, it's a fool not to take advantage of a good deal. Having a few more sons for no reason is great," Jonathan said.
Luna disdainfully glanced at Jonathan and didn't bother to respond, as if speaking any more words to him would devalue her.
"Luna is right. I don't need to get mad at someone like you. However, I am interested in making a bet with you. I'll find an antique as well, and we'll see whose item is more expensive. Bet two million, do you dare?"
Saying this, Andrew looked at Jonathan with a disdainful face.
In his view, Jonathan was sure to lose, and this guy definitely couldn't afford two million.
More importantly, Jack already said that this handwriting scroll was fake, and Master Hudson was an antique master. His words must be correct!
"Okay, just two million, young master takes it!" Jonathan said nonchalantly.
Losing face is not an option, especially since I'm sure to win!
Although Jonathan didn't know whether this handwriting scroll was real or not, the true energy contained within it assured him that it was definitely a spiritual item!
If it was just an ordinary handwriting scroll, how could it have this reaction?
This kid actually dared to bet!
The surrounding people were stunned, and they looked at Jonathan incredulously. Does this guy have too much money and nowhere to spend?
Jack frowned and said, "Young man, you better not bet. I can clearly tell you that this handwriting scroll is fake and worthless."
"Old man, you look like a good person, so I won't bother you. But you're wrong; this handwriting scroll is definitely valuable," Jonathan said.
Upon hearing this, the onlookers burst into laughter.
"This guy is really crazy, he actually dares to compare this broken handwriting scroll with Mr. Lewis."
"Exactly, Master Hudson has already said that this handwriting scroll is fake, and he is still stubborn. Isn't this looking for a loss?"
"He really doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. I heard that Mr. Lewis once worked in an antique company and has extraordinary vision."
"It will be interesting when this kid loses later. That's two million. How long would it take me to earn that?"
"Looking at his poor appearance, he definitely can't afford two million. Don't play tricks later..."
Luna sneered in her heart. Jonathan, even if you cling to the big thigh of the Ford family, it can't change the fact that you are a country bumpkin. This time, I will let you know how big the gap between us and the upper class is!
At this time, Andrew sneered, "Kid, are you sure you want to bet this broken handwriting scroll with me? I can give you a chance to change items."
"No need, just this one, it's enough to beat you," Jonathan said casually.
"Hmph, since you are stubborn, don't blame me for being rude!"
After saying that, Andrew looked at the antiques displayed by the stall owner.
Andrew had once practiced in the family's antique company, and his eyesight was also trained. Although it was a lot worse than Jack's realm, he still had the ability to distinguish fake items.
As Andrew was looking for antiques, Benjamin leaned close to Jonathan and whispered, "Brother, aren't you afraid of losing?"
"Don't worry, I won't lose. I'm sure to win," Jonathan said confidently.
Seeing this, Benjamin gritted his teeth, "Damn, I believe you. This kid is too arrogant. He deserves a lesson. If you can't get two million later, I'll help you out!"
Jonathan glanced at Benjamin, thinking that this kid was quite reliable and worth befriending.
Evelyn sighed lightly when she heard this.
She didn't know where Jonathan got the courage to gamble, but if he loses later, considering that he saved her grandfather, she would pay the two million.
Just then, Andrew pointed to an inkstone and asked, "How much for this inkstone?"
The inkstone is one of the four treasures of the study, and what Andrew was looking at was a pitch-black inkstone, carved with a landscape painting.
"Mr. Lewis has a good eye. This is an item I received the day before yesterday. It is said to be a cultural relic from emperor Qianlong period of the Qing dynasty..."
The stall owner held the inkstone and began a saliva-spraying introduction.
"Cut the crap, how much?"
"One price, one hundred thousand!" The stall owner gave a price.
"Okay, I'll give you one hundred thousand. I'll take the inkstone." Andrew was quite straightforward and paid directly.
The surrounding crowd was taken aback.
"One hundred thousand! Mr. Lewis bought it without even blinking. Is this a treasure?"
"It might be, otherwise, Mr. Lewis wouldn't buy it directly."
"Mr. Lewis, what kind of treasure is this? Please tell us."
Hearing the people around him, Andrew proudly said, "Okay, today I will let you open your eyes. This is not an ordinary inkstone, but a Copier Inkstone!"
"Copier Inkstone? What's that?"
"I don’t know, I've never heard of it. Isn't an inkstone just an inkstone? Are there other names?"
The crowd showed puzzled expressions.
At this time, Jack had a thought and said, "Boy, let me see the inkstone in your hand."
In front of Jack, Andrew didn't dare to show his rich second-generation temper and quickly handed over the inkstone in his hand.
Jack took the inkstone, took a careful look, and nodded, "If I'm not wrong, this is the Copier Inkstone used by Xiaolan Ji (A Chinese philosopher, politician, and writer.) in the past. Using this inkstone to grind ink, it doesn't freeze in winter and doesn't get damp in summer. It's a real good item. How about I buy it for five hundred thousand?"
One sentence made the surrounding crowd explode.
"What, five hundred thousand! This is a profit of four hundred thousand in one turn!"
"Great profit! This is absolutely a great profit! Mr. Lewis's vision is definitely not something we can compare with!"
Andrew smirked proudly, then said to Jack, "If Master Hudson likes it, just take it. Consider it a token of my appreciation."
"You are quite eloquent, but the old man won't take advantage of you young people. Five hundred thousand, I'll transfer it to your account later," Jack said.
"Master Hudson, don’t rush. Let’s deal with the matter at hand first," saying this, Andrew looked at Jonathan, "Kid, it's your turn now. I want to see how your broken handwriting scroll can compare with my Copier Inkstone!"
"Isabella, do you think this guy is really stupid or pretending to be stupid? Master Hudson has already said that it’s a fake, but he insists it's valuable."
On the other side, Ella Dallas whispered.
Isabella shook her head, “I'm not sure, he looks like a naive young man. It's a pity that he is going to lose two million this time."
Isabella is the beauty who recognized the handwriting scroll as the Yellow Court Classic at the beginning.
Ella shook her head disdainfully, "He is a really ignorant guy. He obviously doesn't understand anything, but he insists on betting with others. He deserves to lose money."
At this moment, Jonathan held the handwriting scroll and looked at it carefully for half a minute.
Andrew became impatient, "Country bumpkin, stop trying to delay time, hurry up and admit defeat and pay up!"
"Stop barking like a dog next to me, today I'll show you what a real treasure is!"
Jonathan grabbed one end of the handwriting scroll, and with a strong pull, the handwriting scroll was torn open.
"Why is he tearing up the handwriting scroll?" Luna frowned slightly.
Andrew sneered, "He probably knows he's going to lose, so he's acting out in anger."
But in the next second, both of them were stunned.
It turned out that the handwriting scroll...
At this time, everyone saw a figure suddenly rush over. It was Jack.
Jack stared hard at the two handwriting scrolls and exclaimed.
"Sandwiched Xuan paper! It's actually Sandwiched Xuan paper!"
