As soon as these words Words were spoken, it caused a great commotion in the venue. No one had expected that Walker would spend billions just for a piece of jade pendant. But the shock didn't end there. After Walker raised the sign for one billion, Elliott quickly raised his sign amidst the surprise of Raymond and Thomas. "One billion and ten million!" No one had expected that such a piece of jade pendant would spark fierce competition between two major families. Walker was taken aback and his face turned pale. He never expected that Elliott would be able to offer such a high price! The surrounding families were secretly delighted. "Fortunately, we withdrew early, otherwise we would have suffered a loss now!" "That's right! This jade pendant is worth at most a few million! The guy spent a billion to buy it! Tsk tsk." At that moment, doubts and questions came from all directions towards Elliott, but he didn't mind at all. However, Raymond couldn't bear it and hurriedly asked
A young man, who was about the same age as Chelsea, stood up and looked at Elliott, saying, "Our Roberts family has always sent members of the family to participate in the antique competition. This time, an outsider was used. I don't accept it!" Chelsea looked a bit embarrassed when he saw this. The man in front of him was his closed-door disciple, Cain. When he was young, Chelsea brought him back to the Robert family. When he discovered that Chelsea was a natural talent in appraising antiques, he trained him as his successor. However, since Chelsea became seriously ill due to the broken dragon blood jade, he rarely saw Cain. Now, he was the only person who dared to defy his orders. Chelsea had a good impression of Cain, which was an indisputable fact in the Robert family. However, whether the participating contestants in this competition would change was not something that anyone could speculate about. Elliott was the first to speak when he saw Cain. "I wonder what I can do
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone turned to look in the direction of Cain. They saw that he had finished writing the price tags for each item and was now standing respectfully to the side. Cain's grandfather looked at him with admiration, and even Robert's family members next to him expressed their appreciation for his efficiency. Raymond looked worriedly at Elliott. After a while, Elliott finally put down the last antique and took a marker to write the price on the tag underneath it. As he put down the marker, there were murmurs of disapproval from the crowd! It turned out that Elliott was not only slow, but he had also written a price opposite to Cain's for the last item, which looked very similar to the others. Raymond recognized the last item as the most beloved treasure of Cain's grandfather, called the Twin Stars. Cain had priced it at one million, while Elliott had priced it at one dollar. This greatly shocked her! She hurriedly walked to Elliott's last item
"At this moment, Cain was completely convinced." The Roberts family was shocked to see this! Elliott looked at Raymond, who nodded, indicating that she had made the decision. He couldn't help but sigh and said, "Get up!" Cain remained unmoved, looking at Elliott with a pleading expression that left him puzzled. At this moment, Cain's grandfather walked up, smiling at Elliott, and said, "A man's knees are worth gold, and only parents, teachers, and masters are worthy of such respect!" "This kid wants to worship you as his master!" "What?" Elliott heard this and looked at Cain, who nodded earnestly. He fell into deep thought, realizing that Cain's skills were indeed up to par, but his character still needed to be tempered. Taking him in seemed like a wise decision. Thinking of this, Elliott smiled and nodded. Cain quickly kowtowed. The Robert family looked at each other in surprise, not expecting such a sudden change of events! After accepting Cain, Elliott pulled him up. Cain
Under a sense of helplessness, Thomas wanted to understand his own life. He walked straight onto a sea-crossing bridge, and at that moment, everything around him seemed dim. Thomas looked down at the river water rippling under the bridge and prepared himself to jump. Just as he was about to leap, a pair of hands suddenly appeared and grabbed him. He quickly turned around and saw Elliott looking at him anxiously. "Talon, What's wrong with you?" Elliott brought Thomas to a tea house and ordered a cup of hot tea to warm him up. Thomas looked at Elliott's worried expression and couldn't help but burst into tears. "Nica and my father-in-law put sleeping pills in my soup after they found out I had a new spiritual jade, Thomas said. "When I woke up, I was lying on the street!" Upon hearing this, Elliott tightly grasped the teacup, and small cracks appeared on the surface like little snakes. "I should have thought of those two!" Elliott exclaimed. "Where are they? Let's go!" Elliot
Elliott heard Thomas's voice and rushed into the dining room, only to find it in a mess. The tables and chairs were smashed beyond recognition, and the wall paintings and potted plants were lying crookedly on the ground. It was a far cry from the grand opening of the restaurant. As Elliott followed the sound to the kitchen, he saw Griffen kicking Thomas, who was already lying on the ground with a head full of blood. Nica stood by with a look of disgust. The two were engaged in some filthy business when they suddenly heard a loud noise outside. They went out to see Thomas smashing the storefront that Griffen had personally decorated with a brick. Griffen, already angry because of the phone call from his family, picked up a brick and smashed it at Thomas. Thomas dodged and then rushed into the restaurant with stones and bricks, causing even more wanton destruction. Unable to bear it any longer, Nica joined Griffen in beating up Thomas. Despite locking the door, Griffen was st
At this moment, Elliott brought out the last bowl of turtle soup he had prepared. Hearing Aria's sarcastic comment, he couldn't help but smile to himself. He had to admit that Ethan's ability to handle things was indeed strong. Soon after, the TV broadcast a report from an expert, which showed that there was intense crustal movement on the road from Panama to Yoga, and it could collapse at any time. Therefore, residents were advised not to visit Yancheng during this period. Elliott couldn't help but sigh. Over the years, Ethan's business ability has become more and more sophisticated. What surprised him even more was that shortly after, a field reporter went to investigate by helicopter and indeed found that there were visible cracks on the ground, and the undulations were also extremely alarming. They had to fly back in a hurry before landing. At this moment, Elliott was completely relieved about Ethan's arrangements. Aria and Jason, who were about to make friends with t
The security guard was newly appointed by the silver-haired man, and he was now staring fiercely at Elliott and his companion. "What are you doing here?" the guard asked coldly. Elliott didn't expect the new guard to be so judgmental! "We're here to buy clothes. Is there a problem?" Elliott replied coldly. He couldn't reveal his relationship with the store owner, even if it meant being suspected by Alma. Besides, his strength hadn't fully recovered, and if the four major families found out about the emergence of a new force in Panama, they would strike back. The first targets would be the Heritage and Savage families! Elliott didn't care about the Savage family's life or death, but Alma was still a member of the Heritage family. As the saying goes, a couple's love lasts a hundred days. Even if he had a lot of connections with Alma, they were still a couple! She had saved him when he was at his lowest point, and such kindness couldn't be forgotten easily. The security guard
