Kevin squinted and took a close look at the burst.

It looked like an authentic one but, probably from the second century.

As he walked around it, he could see that someone had tried to repair it. Probably in the 1600’s.

Kevin asked the young man right away, “How much do you want?”

“Didn’t I just tell you? Sixty thousand!” he said impatiently.

“Alright, I’ll take it.” Kevin said directly.

As soon as he said this, the on-lookers immediately started to quiet down.

They couldn’t believe that he was willing to spend so much on an obvious fake.

But some of the local antiques shop owners remembered what happened the last time Kevin was there and they were curious to see what he would do this time.

Ivy was staring at the burst with a displeased look on her face.

She felt that something was wrong but she couldn’t put a finger on it.

Suddenly, Lily tugged down Kevin’s sleeve and asked him, “Do you know anything about antiques? Be careful.”

Even though Lily didn’t know anything about antique ap

    Suddenly, the young man said something to Ivy“Who said I want twenty-five thousand!? That was a mistake on my part. I want one million dollars for the bracelet, you still owe nine hundred and seventy-five thousand.”“Sir! How can you do this? I have already transferred the money to you and our transaction is complete.” Ivy said very unhappily.“Didn’t you hear what he said? The two bracelets together could worth at least three million!” The man greedily said.“Even though they are worn out, it has to worth at least one million.”Everyone started berating the man for going back on his word after agreeing on the price.The man didn’t care what they thought and said, “My price is one million. If you don’t want to pay that then the deal is off.”Ivy was getting more and more upset.From what Kevin had said, the bracelet would only have more value if it was paired with the original which has been lost hundred years ago.By itself, it was just a curiosity.“In that case, have our money t

    Everyone who was the room started to panic especially those who knew Kevin.They didn’t want to get dragged into Kevin’s fight.Robin smiled at Kevin, “Don’t think you are so great just because you bought one of my antiques.”Before Robin could say anything else, Lorenzo gave him a back hand to the face.“Why did you hit me!?” Robin said in shock.“You are embarrassing me.” Lorenzo scolded him as he tossed his cousin aside.“I’ll deal with you later.”Then Lorenzo took a deep breath.Ivy was very nervous when he saw Lorenzo walking up to Kevin.However, what happened next shocked everyone in the room.Drake apologized politely to Kevin, “I’m sorry Mr. Williams, I had no idea this would happen. My cousin can get crazy sometimes.”They were all wondering how Lorenzo knew Kevin.Not only that, he just apologized instead of wiping the floor with him.“So, did you send this jackass over here!?” Kevin asked in a menacing tone.This definitely had an effect on Lorenzo and it showed in his ex

    When he got out of his car, Kevin shook his head in displease.The estate was located in the western subways towards the east.There were no buildings as far as the eyes could see which was really in this part of the city.It seemed like a farm land had been replaced by housing development.“Business must be good.” Kevin said to himself.After everyone sat on the sofa, Lily looked around the large peacefully decorated room.Then she asked with some hesitation, “President Anderson, why don’t you have any antiques in your home?”“It’s very simple.” Kevin said as the three women turned to look at him.“You know about this too?” Lily asked in surprise.“As it turns out I do.”“While Ivy’s family specializes in antiques, they prefer not to bring any of them home.” Kevin explained.“It may sound superstitious but they avoid bringing any of the objects into the house that might be… might be haunted.” he said very seriously. Lily and Monica had their doubts about this explanation.Lily sni

    The head of the alliance did this in order to control the members. “Marshall, if I can make an herbal pill that would help you, will you let us go?” Kevin asked calmly. He clearly remembered reading about this in the book. He remembered the recipe and knew that the black fruit that he got from Robin was indispensable. It was in an incredible coincidence but Kevin wasn’t worried about that right now. He needed to save Lily, Monica and Ivy. “That’s impossible. Only the head of the alliance could make that.” Marshall said in astonishment. “I don’t care if you believe me or not. If you get the pill, will you let us go?” Kevin asked again. “Alright, it’s… i… it’s a deal!” Marshall stammered. “You still have two hours before it gets critical.” Kevin said to him. “I’ll be back in a minute.” After saying this, Kevin opened the window and climbed out. Then he went to his car to get the black fruits. Although Kevin was reluctant to help Marshall, this was the only way he could s

    Kevin returned to the dining room and saw that Lily, Monica and Ivy were still tied up.“Are you guys ok?” He asked them anxiously.“Kevin, what’s going on? Who were those men?” Lily asked curiously.“Nothing to worry about. They were looking for the wrong person but I straightened it all out.” Kevin said calmly.Before Kevin could untie the three young women, he heard the sound of the door opening.It was Ivy’s father, Peter Anderson.He stood by the door with a shocked expression on his face.“Kevin, what are you doing here?” he asked in displease.Then as he looked over, he saw his daughter and two other women tied up with belt.Instantly, he became infuriated.“What the hell is going on here!?” He shouted at the top of his lungs.“Peter, this is not what it looks like.” Kevin tried to explain.“It’s not what it looks like!?” Peter countered.“What the hell do you think it looks like!?”Kevin tried to answer but he had no idea what to say.“How can you do something like this

    Kevin continued, “I am getting ready to open the biggest hotel in Veridonia and I have decided to ask you to be the vice president.”“Really!?” Monica asked excitedly.“Of course it’s true. But I need to know soon so please don’t take too long to decide.” Kevin said very casually.He had already made an agreement with Collins Coke.The two of them were going to join forces and build the biggest hotel in the whole of Veridonia.“Just don’t disappoint me. If you accept my offer, I’ll give you three times the industry standard.” Kevin added.Monica was dumbfounded and she stammered as she tried to say something, “A…. am… am I dreaming!? You really want me to be the vice president!?”“There is only one condition. I want you to help me keep an eye on Lily. If any man tries to get close to her, you must let me know immediately.” Kevin said very seriously.“I won’t let you down, Mr. Williams!” Monica replied excitedly.At that very moment, at the Jones mansion, Grandma Jones was sitting with

    “Kevin, if you want your money back, I can transfer it back to you right now. However, if you want to use it to save Williams Media, it won’t work.” Mathew said displeased with the arrogant attitude of his nephew.“This is your grandfather’s decision. I advise you to come back and apologize to your family, we can still work this out.”It looked like Kevin didn’t have any options left.He just hung up the phone and tapped on his desk as he pondered on what to do.He couldn’t understand how the Williams family had suddenly found enough money to do this.After thinking for a while, he decided to call Collins Coke, Eliana Wright, Antoine Bruce and the others for an emergency meeting at his office.Within an hour, they had all arrived.“Mr. Williams, what’s going on? Why did the Williams family suddenly plunge this financial tech on Veridonia?” Eliana was the first to ask.“With their influence, they’ll have no trouble taking over all the major industries in the city. But the way they ar

    Grandma Jones then turned to Lily and forced a smile, “Lily, this concerns the survival of our family. Why don’t you turn in all the shares? In any case, don’t you agree that it’s not fair for them in your hands anyway?”“I don’t agree.” Kevin shouted.“What did you say!?” Grandma Jones snapped back.Before Kevin could say anything, Drake jumped on him too.“Kevin, don’t think you are so special just because you know a few rich people. If you were so great, why don’t you get them to bail us out?”They all started to criticize Kevin again. Complaining that he wasn’t a true member of the Jones family and he had no voice in their meetings.Then Drake continued to explain his plans, “Grandma, I recently met with a senior member of Williams Media. As long as Lily is ready to turn over her shares, I have a way to convince Williams Media. After the crisis is over, we can sell them and get control over company again.”“And how do we allocate the shares after that!?” Kevin asked loudly.Everyo

    After about five days, she would be like any other normal person, and she wouldn't be able to use medicinal herbs to regain what she had lost. I can't believe that this pill can do all that, Kevin marveled. His thoughts were interrupted by an unfamiliar ringtone. For a second, he wondered if there was a burglar in the house, but then he realized that the sound was coming from his pocket.Who would be making a video call to Penny in the middle of the night? Could it be her boyfriend? Kevin wondered. By reflex, he answered the call. A moment later, he saw a beautiful woman standing in front of her closet picking out clothes. Oops, didn't mean to see that, Kevin thought to himself.She looked very familiar to him, but he just couldn't place her. While he was looking at her, trying to figure out who she was, the woman turned around to see why nobody was talking yet. When she saw Kevin, she screamed and disconnected the call.That's when Kevin realized that she was the young woman whose gr

    "How much do you want?" His father asked him, as expected, Wyatt started to freak out. Mike said, "You think money grows on trees? Didn't I just give you that much a few days ago?" How could Wyatt Tripp not go ballistic? He'd worked his entire life to build up his business and now his son was just giving his money away. Mike was frustrated by his father's response. He'd only gotten in this situation because he was trying to get elected student leader.If his father wasn't willing to help, he might have to tell his classmates the truth. "What are you talking about, Dad? School’s going great. And my teachers are fantastic." Mike told his father, laying it on thick. "It's definitely a serious program."“What the hell are you talking about? When did I ask you about school?" Wyatt shouted into his phone. I don't give a crap if you like the place or not. "Don't worry, Dad, I'm doing great." He continued. "But it would really help if you could transfer some money into my account.""I'll tra

    "It wouldn't be a great idea to trick her like that." He really didn't want to make a bad impression on Penny. "No problem, Mike." Luther continued. "If Penny helps you pay the bill, you can use it as an excuse to get closer to her. You could even connect with her online to arrange to repay her and to get to know her better." Mike got really excited by this idea.He slapped Luther on the back and said, "I like the way you think. It's a good thing I brought you two guys along." When Kevin heard this, he quickly headed back to the VIP room. As he got to the door, Penny was walking out. Kevin came up with a plan of his own. As Penny brushed against him, he used the light touch that he'd learned about in the secret guide and took her phone and wallet.Let's see what Mike does now. Kevin smirked as he slipped the items into his jacket. With all his posturing, he isn't really that strong. Let's see him show his true colors. When Kevin returned to his seat and sat down, Mike and his two budd

    "That has to be disappointing. You think you're more handsome than me? Everyone knows that just isn't true." Kevin teased him. "What do you mean by that?" Mike retorted as he slammed his fist on the table. "Don't be angry, Mike. This whole thing really isn't worth it." Lionel tried to persuade his friend. Then Luther tried to calm him down. "Relax, Mike. You're absolutely right. Kevin must be jealous of you. That's why I said there's something wrong with this pill.""You still don't understand, do you? Both you and your father were cheated by someone. This isn't an augmentation pill at all. Kevin told them bluntly. An augmentation pill is more of a light blue color. Plus it contains some floral ingredients which gives it a beautiful fragrance. Take another look at the medicinal pill you just gave our professor." Kevin continued."It's obviously the wrong color and has no fragrance at all." They were all stunned to hear him say this. Even Penny reacted and stared keenly at Kevin. Mike

    "Don't be so modest, Mike. Who is better qualified to be our class leader?" Luther chimed in. The rest of the students just sat there quietly and watched the show that the three of them were putting on. But they didn't want to seem ungrateful. So they were willing to go along with the idea of electing Mike to the position."Since no one has any objections, then how could I decline? But let's just call it a temporary position. If anyone feels that I'm not carrying my weight, just say so." Mike declared as he raised his glass to toast his classmates.Professor Murdock stayed out of the discussion. And quietly observed her students as they drank their wine and socialized with each other. Meanwhile, Penny just sat quietly by the window nursing her glass to mute. Her classmates were too intimidated by her to go up and talk to her.While this was going on, Mike took Lionel aside and asked him to go down to his car and bring back a red gift box that he'd left in the trunk. Lionel came back a

    "Since you think this is just a bus pass, I guess I'll just put it back in my wallet." Kevin said as he started to take it back from the concierge. “Well, since you've already taken it out, why don't we give it a try?" Mike replied. He obviously didn't want to pass up this opportunity to make Kevin look like a fool. So he ran things up and added."Let's see what the hotel staff can do with it." While the crowd was laughing at Kevin, the hotel employees were staring in disbelief. They weren't sure how to defuse the situation. The employee who was holding Kevin's card started to get very nervous when she took a good look at it. During their training, all of the employees of the Whistler Hotel had been required to memorize the appearance of the Supreme VIP card. And that's exactly what Kevin had handed her. Cook had explained to them that there were only five cards like this in all of Veridonia. And they were only given to the hotel's most prestigious clients.The group of students saw t

    "Unfortunately, the Whitsler Hotel's largest room was only available to special guests." Mitchell Cook didn't mind if the largest private rooms remained empty most of the time. It was more important to have them available for his wealthiest clients. Since the staff hadn't been alerted by Cook that there would be a VIP group this evening, they assumed that this bunch of students didn't have the proper reservation."What kind of rule is that? I don't have a membership card, and I'm not from around here. All we need is a room. I don't care how much it costs. I'm willing to cover it." Mike said confidently."I'm sorry, sir. Without a VIP membership card, we won't be able to open the room for you." The concierge replied firmly. "Then can I apply for a membership card right now?" Mike asked. You could tell he was extremely disappointed to see his plans fall apart like this."I'm sorry, sir. Our largest private room is only available for our most exclusive members. Als

    "Please, just say it. You won't hurt my feelings." Kevin exclaimed as he watched the road. "Just look at what happened in the parking lot. Your classmates were all looking down on you because they thought you didn't have a car. It seems that you invite this kind of ridicule, “she said bluntly."If you're too embarrassed to take anything from your wife, then you really should jump at this opportunity." Professor Murdock told him earnestly. "The School for the Healing Arts is the greatest opportunity in your life. Just work hard and focus. If you have any questions, you can always come to me. This is your chance to make a name for yourself.""I understand what you're saying, Professor. I'll definitely work harder from now on," he replied. Kevin stopped at a crosswalk and said to her very sincerely, "But could you please give me my phone back first? I promise I won't take it out during class."“Haven’t you been listening to me?" she snapped at him

    "Mike's absolutely right," Lionel agreed. Kevin, "Professor Murdock really took it easy on you today. That's why you're being allowed to come along to tonight's dinner. Don't put any of your classmates in an embarrassing position. Just take a taxi. If you don't have enough money on you for a cab or to call for a ride on your own, I'll give you a few bucks to cover you. How about $20?" Then he pulled some cash out of his pocket and offered it to Kevin.Everyone around them laughed when they saw him do this. They really thought Kevin was pathetic. Kevin frowned as he looked at the money in Lionel's hand. He wondered what the heck was wrong with these guys. "Aren't you overwhelmed by my generosity?" Lionel grinned as he patted Kevin on the shoulder. "There's no need to thank me. After all, we're classmates.""Did I tell you I needed a ride? “Kevin replied very coolly. "What do you mean? Don't tell me you drove here." Mike sneered."You really drove here, Kevin? Quick, show everyone what
