"At this time, Quentin suddenly asked, "Did you find any other differences where the cultural relic was found?""Yes." Irving nodded, "When I went to the antique street for the second time, I looked for the stall owner. He told me that two middle-aged people with rural appearance sold the things to him. I think those two people definitely don’t understand what cultural relics are, otherwise, they wouldn’t have sold it for just a few hundred bucks.”Hearing this, Brady felt even more uncomfortable. If it was a professional gang of art thieves, they would be more cautious in order to obtain greater profits, and they would definitely preserve these things carefully.Even if they took it to the market to sell, it was better than being treated as a flower vase or can that could be accidentally damaged.Everyone didn't know what to say when they heard the news. It was impossible to find these two people based on this information alone."Why don't you call the police? Since it is a national
There were three antique markets in New York City. Two of the markets were very lively, while the remaining one looked much more muted compared to each other.Brady suggested that they go to the Antique market on the other side of the old market first, and then finally gather at the Antique market on the square side.Irving also thought this was a good idea. He knew that one of the two antique markets had many more shops and stalls than the other. If he truly had special powers like he thought, he would definitely be able to find them much faster, so he suggested that he go to that antique market.When they were in the car just now, Xena sent Irving the electronic version of Quentin's book dedicated to introducing antiques. He had already browsed through it roughly. If others asked questions, he also knew what professional terms to use, covering up the fact that he had special powers.When Quentin saw Irving himself, he proposed they go to the antique market with the most shops. He th
The vase now appeared in Irving's eyes with a golden halo, which was exactly the same as the one he saw on the antique street before. And this one was also made during the Renaissance period. The original blue and white peach bat-patterned olive vase was exiled abroad during the turmoil. Later, it took the efforts of countless people to imitate an exact replica. That wa's why the cultural relic workers such as Brady were so excited just now, because they knew very well that as long as there were cultural relics flowing out, the possibility of retrieving them was very low. No matter how much reproduction technology was available now, a copy was a copy and could never replace the original. The blue and white peach bat-patterned olive vase he saw now had golden light flashing, so it must be authentic. Irving seemed to pick up the vase casually. "The handicrafts nowadays are really good, and the style of this vase looks quite retro. I think I like it. I can put a rose in it and put it
Walter followed closely, which made Irving a little unhappy, but he just frowned and said nothing. He glanced at the thing in Xena's hand. There was no aperture at all, proving that it was just an ordinary handicraft.Irving opened his phone and checked Quentin's e-book, and then pointed out the difference between this object and a real antique based on the content.Walter laughed even more when he saw that Irving actually wanted to check his phone. In order to show his ability, he picked up a gilt ancient sculpture from the stall, "This is from the Renaissance period. There was no custom of carving inscriptions on the bottom. Some people imitated it and added it deliberately, which just proves that it is a fake. This kind of things is very obvious to see. It’s really shameful to use your phone to flirt with girls in the name of antiques.”After Walter finished speaking, he looked at the seller arrogantly, "How much does this cost?""This guy is an expert at first sight, so I won't ba
When Walter heard Irving's ridicule, he was even more furious. He originally wanted to be in the spotlight with Xena, but in the end, five thousand dollar was wasted. He made such a big mistake. Even so, he still said to Irving stiffly, "The one you bought is probably fake, so what makes you qualified to say that."The shop owner also wanted to see what Irving brought, so he smiled and said, "Young man, if you're willing, you can take it out and I'll have a look."Irving was very knowledgeable about his thing, and he had been waiting for this moment.Irving put the things in his arms on the table, and the shop owner's eyes suddenly narrowed.Walter didn't take the store owner's reaction seriously at all, because his impression of Irving was still the image he had when he was an intern. Little did he know that Irving now was very different from before.The shop owner looked at it carefully for a long time before saying, "Your item is really an old antique. If you are willing to sell it
"Mr. Irving, thank you, thank you." Brady said to Irving sincerely. If he hadn't been on the street just now, Brady would have been unable to help but bow to Irving. He knew it was too difficult to recover a treasure of this level once it was exposed to antique dealers."Dad, did you and Mr. Quentin find anything over there?""We asked for information about the two countrymen, but the items have been bought by others. The police have already traced the buyers according to the situation. I don't know if they can recover them. Let's see if there is anything going on here first.”Since these cultural relics have appeared in the two antique markets here, it proved that their previous guess was correct. The two people brought the things here to sell them in order to get a good price. It was very likely that the market they were coming to now also had cultural relics.In order to find any potential item as soon as possible, they were divided into two groups again. Irving and Xena were still
The dealer came back to his senses and immediately prepared to close the stall. People were greedy. Even if they knew that selling cultural relics was illegal, in the face of the sky-high price of tens or hundreds of millions of dollar, the stall owner's first reaction was to keep the thing in his own hands.But before he started collecting things, Irving grabbed his hands and said, "I'm afraid it's a little early to close the stall now.""I'm sorry, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do at home and I have to go back now." The stall owner said while trying to open Irving's palm, but it was of no use."I can't let you go back, but I can tell you for sure that this urn is definitely a national treasure. If you take the initiative to hand it in, the country will not only give you a reward, but also give you an award. But you want to do it the hard way?" If you trade, not only will the entire transaction amount be confiscated, but you will also be imprisoned for at least five
Irving tried his best to suppress his excitement and opened the carton. When he saw the contents inside, he immediately activated his powers. The next second, his eyes were surrounded by a burst of golden light.There were a total of four relics in the carton, and they all glowed like gold. Then Irving winked at the stall owner, who swallowed subconsciously and said, "Okay, we'll take all of these, five thousand each, a total of twenty thousand."At this time, the taller countryman suddenly said, "Mr. Lawrence, we don't sell these antiques for twenty thousand."The stall owner was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you mean? Didn't we agree on five thousand each?""Let me tell you the truth, this things are not made by us. They came from a lost but marked hidden grave. It took many months and hardwork for us to locate the map to the grave. Twenty thousand for them is too low."Everyone knew that the only things that came out of the ground were funerary objects. The stall owners
