After the group got in the car, they quickly arrived at the competition venue. As over a hundred appraisers were competing in the antique appraisal competition, the venue was a big issue. Therefore, the Rica Sports Stadium became the best choice. Upon arriving at the venue, Elliott and his group walked in and saw that many people had already arrived. In the nearby resting area, a group of people were sitting. If Elliott could see, he would recognize one of them as Amelia. Sitting beside Amelia was her grandfather, Cyrus. On the opposite side were two people, Jax and Leon. "Amelia, you're not getting any younger. You should start considering some things. Yesterday, when you were not here, I talked to your grandfather about this matter. What do you think about Ivy?" Cyrus asked. Both Arrision's grandfather and grandson showed anticipation. If they could ally with Natalie's family, it would be the best thing, Moreover, Leon was already a little fond of Amelia. As the num
This conflict had caused a rift between Leon and Elliot. However, Elliott didn't mind at all. He was afraid of someone as insignificant as Salem, how could he compete against the four major families? An hour later, the stadium was filled with people. The opening ceremony of the antique appraisal competition was less than half an hour away. As a participant, Elliott received the competition rules. The competition was divided into two stages: the preliminary round and the final round, There were a total of 134 participants in the competition, and they were divided into ten groups for the preliminary round. The winner of each group would advance to the final round. The rules for the preliminary round were simple: each group would receive ten antiques provided by the Rica Museum and the Antique Association, some of which were genuine and some were fake. The participants had to identify the authenticity and value of these antiques within a specified time. The score was based on
"Arrogant!" "Ignorant!" "Conceited!" "Knows nothing of the world!" After hearing Elliot's words, the group of appraisers around him fell silent for a moment before starting to criticize him. None of the appraisers in the third group dared to make such bold claims. Eliminating the dynasty in the preliminaries was something they didn't even dare to dream of, Who was this young man to dare to speak so arrogantly? Even Hazel laughed when he heard Elliot's words. "Very well, then "I wait for you to eliminate me!" Soon, the competition began. "Elliott, come on, 'l cheer you on from below!" Alma said to Elliott. Elliott instinctively touched Alma's head and gently said, "Don't worry, the champion will be your husband!" Alma blushed and watched as Elliott walked into the competition circle. The thirteen appraisers of the third group stood in the designated area one by one, and then several staff members brought the ten treasures to be used in the competition to the stage.
The referee's words directly shut down Valentine's complaints. Moreover, the answers of each contestant in the preliminary round were transmitted by computer and then corrected by the organizing committee, so there could be no mistakes. With the possibility of any shady dealings eliminated, there was only one possibility left: Elliott got luck! With ten treasures, it was inevitable that he would pick up a few extra points, which happened to push him past Valentine. Elliott remained calm and the angrier the others got, the more satisfied he felt. How could these losers know how powerful he was? Just wait, the real show was yet to come! As the doubts subsided, the results for twelfth place were announced. But to everyone's surprise, Elliott was not even in twelfth place. It wasn't until the top five that people began to suspect something. Did Elliott bribe the organizing committee? But some astute observers realized that only one person from each group could advance to the fi
"Senior Vincent, what do you think?" Elliott suddenly nudged Vincent, causing everyone to look at him, even Vincent was surprised by Elliot's action. He laughed heartily but didn't speak immediately. The appraisers thought that Vincent found Elliot's answer amusing. "Just say it, how could this piece of junk possibly distinguish the authenticity of that Buddha statue?" They thought it was ridiculous for a young man like Elliott to say something that even Hazel couldn't see. But they never expected Vincent to say, "Kid, you have a good eye. Yes, this Buddha statue is indeed a fake." "A fake? How is that possible?" Hazel still couldn't believe it. "Why is it impossible? Let me tell you, I am the one who made this Buddha statue!" Vincent admitted. This fact shocked everyone! "Elliott was right! This Buddha statue was made by me after I saw that painting." "It was also my carelessness that led to a flaw, and you, kid, were able to spot it!" Vincent shook his head and said, "It's a
Rica, White Dragon Hotel. "I heard that the head chef of this hotel used to work in the kitchen for state banquets, especially in Golden cuisine. His cooking is out of this world!" Elizabeth said to everyone after they sat down. "Really? Then we're in for a treat today!" Alma couldn't help but salivate. She was a foodie. "Golden cuisine is the culmination of Rica cuisine, with a wide range of ingredients, varied seasonings, diverse dishes, and a strong and fresh taste, making good use of spicy and numbing flavors. It's not easy to make good Golden cuisine!" Elliott spoke up, causing Elizabeth to give him a second look. "Elliott, I didn't expect you to know about this too!" Elliott smiled faintly. During his military career, Elliott met a squad leader who was born into a family of chefs. Although he didn't inherit the family business, he was also a master of Golden cuisine. The two of them often went to the kitchen to help out, and Elliot learned a few tricks from him. "Eli
This small private room became the battlefield for Elliott and these people's fight. Elliott tried his best not to hurt the lives of these waiters. Three minutes later, all the waiters were lying on the ground, except for the manager Serena, and the leading waiter. Serena was stunned at this moment. He had never seen someone who could fight like Elliott. Elliott looked short, but he had such a powerful explosive force. "Hey, kid, you're pretty good. Let me, Allen, spar with you!" Allen, the waiter, rushed up and punched Elliott fiercely. This punch was very powerful. Elliott could feel that Allen was a martial arts enthusiast. This Emperor Hotel is indeed mysterious. Even a small waiter is a martial arts enthusiast. Elliott is becoming more and more interested in this hotel. "You're called Allen, right? Your Skills is good. Who taught you?" Elliott asked. "None of your business!" Allen finished speaking and kicked Elliot's neck with a whip leg, Elliott immediately dodged. Th
Although Anass had already left the military camp, he still held an important position in the relevant department. With his status, it was not difficult for the members of the Rica Public Security Association to take action. To investigate the person in the surveillance footage, the association immediately formed an investigation team. Less than an hour later, they received news. After investigation, it was discovered that the person in question was not a resident of Rica, but a criminal with a record. In addition, the association locked down the person's place of residence through satellite imagery. To avoid alerting the suspect, Elliott and Anass decided to personally investigate. Driving together, they arrived at a village in the western district of Rica. The buildings in the village were densely packed, and the residents were very crowded. Even if they knew the general location, it was still difficult to accurately locate the hiding place of the criminal. After half
