C20 – Stealing Antiques

Everyone’s gazes towards Lachlan suddenly became strange.

Just now, this person had offered ten thousand dollars to Gregory, but Gregory did not buy it.

Now, this person saw that Lachlan was a fool and wanted to scam him.

And the scam was so obvious.

Lachlan took the painting and observed it seriously. As he looked at it, he nodded, looking extremely proficient.

“This painting is real. I will transfer the money to you now.”

Receiving the money, the middle-aged man was overjoyed, but his eyes were filled with disdain.

Lachlan was really a fool. He was so happy even though he was being scammed.

“Lachlan! Are you an idiot? The Imperial Green Jade you bought is defective, and the ancient painting is fake. In other words, your money has gone to waste!” Gregory laughed arrogantly.

How could Lachlan be so happy when he was being scammed?

“Little brother, I have a family heirloom. Do you want it?”

“I also have a Tang Dynasty toilet!”

“None of you are worth anything. My dad is a hundred years old, even older than antiques. Do you want to take it home to raise it?”

Obviously, everyone treated Lachlan as a fool and mocked him.

“Ding! Mission: When has the great host ever been humiliated like this? Show them the real antiques and let them open their eyes!”

[Mission Reward: 5 points of Mental Energy, Mission Difficulty: One Star]

Lachlan accepted the mission and was about to speak.

Suddenly, an angry shout came.

“What do you know? All of you shut up!”

A scholarly man stood in front of the counter where the Imperial Green Jade necklace was supposed to be, pounding his chest and stomping his feet.

“What do you mean? Why are you scolding us?”

The scholarly man was fuming with anger. “I scolded you for not being able to recognize a good item.”

“What do you mean?” Gregory had a bad premonition.

“Little brother, my name is Cruz. I have a jewelry company in Ellsworth. Can you show me this necklace?”

“Go ahead and take a look.”

Lachlan nodded with a smile. It seemed that Cruz had already seen through the necklace.

Lachlan thought to himself that it was fortunate that he had made his move early. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to buy it so smoothly.

Cruz carefully picked up the necklace and placed the Imperial Green Jade on the strong light.

“That’s right, it’s it. This is the Imperial Green Jade that was auctioned for twenty million last year.”

Cruz had actually long since fallen in love with this necklace. He was afraid that he had been cheated. As a precaution, he had taken a picture of it and researched it.

Unexpectedly, it was Lachlan who had gotten it first.

“How is this possible? This piece of Imperial Green Jade is filled with impurities. How can it be auctioned for twenty million at such a level?”

“You must be a hired thug hired by Lachlan.”

“If you have made a loss, then so be it. It doesn’t matter if it is a hundred thousand or two hundred thousand. Do you need to hire someone to support you?”

Cruz would never allow others to insult him like that.

“Open your dog eyes and take a good look.”

He placed the Imperial Green Jade under the light and shone it.

“The Supreme Grade Imperial Green Jade is soaked in blood all year round, and its exterior has already produced a circle of blood. The strip-like substance inside is not a miscellaneous substance, but the effect of blood permeating through the jade.”

As expected.

A circle of blood light appeared around the Imperial Green Jade, but this kind of blood light did not have any evil aura, but instead, it was gentle and beautiful.

Everyone was in an uproar.

No wonder Lachlan did not care about the ridicule and wholeheartedly wanted to buy the necklace.

It turned out that he had already seen through the trick.

This time Gregory suffered a huge loss. He had sold 20,000 yuan worth of items for 20,000 yuan.

Gregory’s face turned ashen. “Lachlan, I won’t sell the Imperial Green Jade. Return it to me.”

“Bullshit, I have an invoice and a receipt. If you say you won’t sell it, then you won’t sell it.”

Lachlan and Gregory clashed with each other, changing their previous attitude.

“You…”

“What? Did your teeth grow back again?”

Gregory subconsciously covered his teeth. Last time, Lachlan broke all his teeth.

Even if he had finished growing his teeth, he still felt some pain.

“Since Lachlan is not an idiot, then did the painting he bought just now have anything special?”

“What’s there to be special about? I have also seen that painting before. It was imitated by Qi Baishi, and the style was strange and crude.”

“Right, even if my eight-year-old son wet his bed, it would still be better than that painting.”

Lachlan snorted coldly.

“Please open your dog eyes wide. I will let you see what a real painting is!”

When Lachlan first saw this painting, he had actually thought that it was fake.

However, when he touched it for the first time, Lachlan realized that this painting had a different story.

Because Lachlan’s cognitive energy was strong, his perception was also stronger than ordinary people.

Naturally, he could feel that this painting was thicker than ordinary paintings.

After a round of searching, he knew that this painting was the legendary painting.

He slowly tore off one side of the painting, and a layer appeared.

In the middle of the layer, there was another painting that had yet to be revealed.

“This is the authentic work of Zhu Zhishan! The Along the River During the Qingming Festival!”

“Isn’t this painting already lost? Why would it be hidden in the painting?”

“This painting is priceless. Even if it were sold for a hundred million, it would still be normal.”

At this moment, everyone’s gaze on Lachlan turned into shock.

How strong was Lachlan’s ability to appraise antiques?

Two antiques were worth more than a hundred million. What did those few tens of thousands of dollars mean?

“No, you have to return the painting to me. I won’t sell it to you anymore. I didn’t even give you an invoice!”

At this moment, the middle-aged man who was selling the painting rushed over, wanting to snatch the painting from Lachlan’s hands.

“Get lost!”

Bang!

Lachlan kicked the middle-aged man away, causing him to spin a few times in the air before landing on the ground.

His strength was actually so strong?

Gregory, who was about to attack, quickly suppressed himself, afraid that he would become the one who was kicked away.

“You wanted to trick me just now, but now that the painting is valuable, you want to go back on your word. How can there be such a good thing in the world?”

The middle-aged man seemed to have aged by dozens of years as he slowly crawled up and left.

If one were to do too much evil, he would be punished for it.

“Cousin, I don’t know why you asked me to bring so many of your lackeys.”

Just as Gerald finished his sentence.

Hundreds of hooligans rushed down from the two buses, their auras surging.

The corner of Gregory’s mouth curled up into a smile. His men had finally arrived.

“Everyone, I’m really sorry. Today is the day that I and Lachlan will settle our grudges. I hope that all of you can leave first so that you won’t get stained with blood.”

No one dared to stay here, so they all left one after another.

Only Lachlan was left in the scene.

When Gerald saw that it was Lachlan, he was stunned for a moment before he burst out in laughter, “Lachlan, don’t you know how to fight? Let’s see who is stronger, you or my lackeys.”

“Lachlan, since we are classmates, as long as you hand over the antique today and kneel down to apologize, I can spare your life.”

Gregory looked at Lachlan’s antique with shining eyes. That was more than a hundred million.

“What do you mean?”

Gerald was puzzled.

He naturally recognized the necklace in Lachlan’s hand. It was a piece of trash that could not be sold in the shop, so why would he want it?

Gregory explained with a smile, and Gerald revealed a look of greed.

“Lachlan, I know that you can fight, but can you beat a hundred people? I am in charge. As long as you leave behind the antique, you can leave safely.”

Lachlan sneered. There was no fear in his eyes.

“What if I don’t?”

“Then you will die for sure!” Gerald said cruelly.
