The Ultimate Husband (Darryl and Lily Lyndon) novel Chapter 112

Read The Ultimate Husband [by Skykissing wolf] Chapter 112 – Wow!

People surrounding them took a cold breath.

“That’s crazy!”

“Eight million bucks? It’s daylight robbery.”

“Hungry for money, are you? All the things in your stall combined, wouldn’t have worth more than eight thousand.”

Everyone was commenting, Yvonne and the few antique store owners were shaking their heads,

Out of their expectation, someone came from behind smiling.

“Eight million? Fine, I’ll take it.” Darryl nodded after he gave a slight thought.

Wow!

Everyone went into a chaos at that moment. He was really buying it?

Eight million for a broken rusted sword, was he out of his mind?

At that moment, the few antique store owners were shaking their heads too.

They had been observing the antique seller’s sword for a while. It was not even an antique item, it’s just some broken metal.

Yvonne was the only one squeezing her brows light, thinking.

Lily had no knowledge at antique items at all. However, seeing everyone’s reaction, she wanted to persuade Darryl.

However, knowing Darryl’s antique appraisal ability, she decided     say anything. Humans would always make mistakes once in a while, no matter how capable Darryl was, it was very risky. It was obvious that the sword was a fake, it was covered with rust, it wouldn’t have worth anything.

“Look, this brother here appreciates this sword.” He was the most excited person now. After Darryl made the payment, the antique seller passed him the sword, and did not forget to give a thumbs up to Darryl.

Under the eyes of everyone, Darryl wrapped the sword with a cloth.

At that moment, Yvonne pointed at a green-based, flower porcelain plate, and asked lightly, “Boss, how much is this?”

Darryl noticed that all the antique store owners paid full attention once Yvonne asked the question.

Yvonne and the few antique store owners were there not for sight-seeing. They heard that there was an antique seller at the Red Flag pedestrian walkway, and he had a porcelain plate from the Song Dynasty. Hence, they were there to check it out.

There were many strategies in the trade of antique items, including observing one’s reaction, as well as negotiation skills.

Yvonne seized the opportunity when the seller had just sold an item, hence she asked for the price.

“Beautiful lady, you have good taste. When I bought this porcelain plate from my friend, he told me it is something good. If you like it, I can sell it to you for two million bucks.” The antique seller replied with a big smile.

Yvonne did not respond, she fell silent.

The few antique store owners started discussing.

“Boss, do you know who this lady in front of you is? How dare you say a price of two million bucks?”

“Exactly, I have been observing your porcelain plate for a while now. The color looks nice, the carving is unique, but it lacks the touch of ancient flavor.”

“Not bad, your plate you have here. The workmanship and the color all looked like it’s from the Song Dynasty, however, it is a fake. The most it will be is a high-quality imitation item.”

“It doesn’t value at two million bucks.”

Listening to all the remarks from the few antique store owners, the antique seller replied coldly, “ That’s the price for my item here, take it or leave it.”

The few antique store owners were shaking their head hearing what the antique seller said.

Yvonne lost interest in that item instantly as well. The item was a fake one, it would still be fine if it was for five thousand bucks. Two million…only an idiot would buy it.

“Boss, let me take a look.” Darryl opened his mouth and said.

Having to just earn eight million from Darryl, the antique seller was really grateful. He handed the porcelain plate to Darryl without further thoughts.

The rest of the antique store owners all looked at Darryl.

Darryl held the porcelain plate on his hands and looked at it thoroughly. He then knocked on the plate slightly and said, “For porcelain plate like this, if it is an imitation, the knocking sound of it will be muffled. This one has a crystal clear sound when being knocked. Besides that, it looked new not because it was produced recently, it was because the owner took good care of it, and would have some knowledge in antique too. That is why it looked as if it was newly made.”

After saying that, Darryl walked over and handed the porcelain plate to Yvonne, and said silently, “ From my experience, this is not a fake, it’s definitely worth two million.”

Listening to Darryl’s words, Lily panicked and said, “Darryl, please don’t say things you are unsure of. President Young will be able to appraise if it is genuine or fake. Don’t show off.”
