After a quick glance, he looked toward a stall next door. This stall mainly sold ivory products, such as figurines of royals, officials, animals and the like. It was obvious at first glance that these things were deliberately aged, so they were definitely not old items. But what made him hesitate was whether the ivory was real or fake. Yasmin saw that he was so serious and said with a smile, "What's so good about these? They're all synthetic. Look at the one in the middle. It looks so real but with minor differences. It’s very likely that it came from resin, believe it or not.” "Sir, the ruby ring in your hand belongs to Queen Elizabeth the second, and it only costs ten thousand dollar." "What? Ten thousand? Irving almost laughed. Finally, Irving picked up a silver coin and asked Yasmin, "Can you take a look at this?" Yasmin only glanced at it and immediately shook his head and said, "It should be made of alloy or silver-plated. Such things are rarely genuine." "Girl, this is
Irving kept staring at this thing and felt that his eyes were going blurry. At this time, he felt as if a faint green light appeared in front of his eyes. He thought his eyes were tired, so he handed the thing back to Yasmin, then rubbed his eyes and looked at the stone sculpture again. That green light seemed to be stronger. Could it be that he was really dazzled? "Are your eyes uncomfortable?" Seeing that Irving kept rubbing his eyes, Yasmin asked with concern. "Not really, maybe I didn't sleep well last night." Irving laughed, and then looked elsewhere casually. Just this glance made him see something even more novel. Everything seen by him was having an aperture. Different things would show apertures of different colors, including red, yellow, and blue. Irving walked to a stall in three steps and two steps at a time. His move made Yasmin feel even more concerned, and she quickly followed him. Irving picked up an old-fashioned pen and asked, "Mister, how much is this worth?"
Having the authentic product in his possession, Irving did not dare to go anywhere else and directly booked a room in the hotel where Yasmin stayed.After arriving in the room, Irving placed the thing on the table very carefully. "You don't really think this thing is real, do you? If it is real, this thing is a national treasure and cannot be sold, do you know?" Yasmin didn't think that national treasures could be bought in such a small antique street.Irving must have thought so before, but now he had no doubts about this vase. After all, it was chosen by him with his supernatural power. If this was false, it was because God was bored and decided to joke with him. He still doubted whether his activation of this ability was related to this object.Irving did not respond to Yasmin's question, but gingerly touched the vase with his hand. The next second, he felt that something was missing from the vase, and his eyes suddenly felt like they were brightening, and he could see everything
"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
