Harvey York's Rise to Power novel Chapter 332

“This…”

Charles Zarate froze in place. Even he thought that the watch was real. He did not know that a fake watch could be counterfeited to this extent. At that moment, his face turned as sour as a lemon.

Charles and Luis Zarate would not admit it. They were awfully conceited and did not even consider identifying the antique on the simplest step. If they did, they might not have misjudged about the antique.

“I wasn’t even appraising the antique myself. I would be done distinguishing the authenticity in under a minute if things like these were in my hands!”

Luis was grinding his teeth and he was not convinced. He did not want to admit that he had lost.

In his eyes, this so-called loss was because of Shane Naiswell’s preset rules. If it weren’t for that, how could he have mistaken this fake watch for a real one?

‘This wretched-looking tramp, Harvey York, only won because he was lucky. Even Shane was standing by his side, making me look bad.’

“One more round! There’s no way I’ll lose this one!” Luis said coldly as he groaned.

He must prove himself worthy in front of Rosalie Naiswell that he is her one true prince, only then he would be fit to be with her.

And this man in front of him was nothing more than a wretched-looking tramp.

“Sure, but don’t you have to eat this up first?”

Harvey was smiling. Luis had been pitting himself against Harvey since the moment they met. Old habits die hard, Harvey was no exception.

“You…”

Luis was speechless. How was he supposed to even eat this? Regret had started to set in to the point where he wanted to slap himself across his face. How could he have been so mouthy?

“Alright, the young men are just playing around. There’s no need to be too serious about it. I’m the one hosting the antique fair today. If I don’t show up soon, they’ll be anxious about it.” Shane said in a timely manner, giving Luis an opportunity to excuse himself from embarrassment.

Charles looked at Harvey deeply.

“A win doesn’t mean anything. Shane had brought out treasures this time. How about the two of you pit against each other in the antique fair?”

Charles naturally didn’t think that his own student would lose, he had only misjudged for a moment.

His student’s talent in antiques had far surpassed his own, how could he have lost against a nobody?

But Harvey smiled.

“I’ll pass. I wouldn’t like to deal with people that don’t keep their promises anyway.”

Harvey had always respected his elders. But why would he save Luis’ face when Luis had constantly been berating him?

Despite Shane being generous and offering the two to excuse themselves, Harvey did not care much for it.

No matter how good Charles could run his mouth, he’s but the president of the Niumhi Antique Dealers’ Association. Even if they had a bit of authority, Harvey was the CEO of York Enterprise. Why would he even be scared of them?

Respecting them is one thing. But the fact that the teacher and the student were such show-offs had really irritated Harvey.

“Harvey, are you not afraid? Scared that people will know that you have no idea how to appraise treasures?”

Luis stared at Harvey full of rage. If he would decline the challenge, Luis would have no chance to turn himself around.

“Does it matter to you whether I do or not?” Harvey smiled.

“You…” Luis was so enraged that his body started trembling.

Charles shook his head after seeing his student getting mad for something so trivial. His student was a bit lacking in terms of nature, but Harvey was pretty arrogant as well.

Without a second thought, Charles smiled.

“Young man. If you think that Luis is not your opponent, how about you and I spar after a while?”

Harvey immediately frowned, he then nodded after a moment.

“Of course!”

Harvey had realized, if he did not accept, the two would never give up challenging him.

After hearing Harvey accepting his request, Charles swiftly brought Luis out of the room without another word.

Shane was looking at Harvey from top to bottom then laughed.

“Kid, if you really want to be successful at appraising treasures, it would not be wise to offend a person like Charles Zarate. This old man isn’t really big-hearted to say the least.”
