Chapter 89 Everything Was Fake
However, Duncan did not have a good impression of Kent Morris, so he would not say anything more.
At this time, Lennon looked at the Mye and asked tentatively, "Mr. Wilson, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Duncan also turned his head to look at Mye. It seemed that he was also an expert invited
by Lennon!
Mye lowered his voice and shook his head with a smile, "Do you want to smash it for fun after buying it
back?"
Lennon couldn't help laughing. He trusted Mye very much and decisively stopped talking.
"Congratulations, Mr. Morris of Cabin 6 on the top floor won the first collection!"
The bidding was over. In the end, the collect which was said to be the "Eight Immortal Phoenix-tailed
Birds" in the old time was taken by Kent at a high price of three million dollars.
"The next item to be auctioned is Dao Wood's Painting of the "Seven Fairies". The starting price is 3
million dollars, and each increase must be no less than 500 thousand dollars!"
Duncan narrowed his eyes and looked at them carefully and drew a conclusion that it was fake again,
which made him a little depressed. The underground auction was full of fakes.
"Mye, how about this one?"
Lennon's eyes lit up as he stared at the "ancient painting" downstairs. It seemed that as long as Mye
was sure, he would definitely bid without hesitation.
"Well..."
Mye looked at it carefully for a long time. Finally, he shook his head helplessly and said frankly,
"Lennon, it's too far away for me to distinguish."
At this time, Ran said again, "Mr. Morris, the painting is vivid and detailed. It seems to be Dao Wood's
work."
Lennon, who was eavesdropping, immediately became excited and tried to raise his hand to participate
in the bidding. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Duncan said timely, "Mr. Wilson, if you believe me, don't take it."
"Duncan, do you also know about authentication?" Before Lennon could speak, Erica asked curiously.
She just brought him here to join in the fun and didn't expect Duncan to suddenly interrupt.
"A little." Duncan nodded.
Lennon hesitated. Although he knew that Duncan was good at martial arts, it didn't mean that he was
good at collecting.
"Lennon, if I were you, I would have listened to this guy."
Noticing his good friend's dilemma, Mye gave Duncan a meaningful glance and said, "If this painting is
real, we won't lose anything if we don't buy it. But if we spend hundreds or even tens of millions to buy
a fake one, not mentions the lost, it would be a big shame for us if the news spread.
Sometimes it would be a gamble in such kind of underground auction.
"Okay, I won't bid." Lennon shook his head with a wry smile.
At this time, the people below were excited and began to bid.
However, Kent was rich and powerful. It could be said that he came for this underground auction. With
Ran's guarantee, he did not hesitate at all and won the painting at a high price of 10 million dollars!
After spending 10 million to buy the two collections, the auctioneer constantly praised Kent's
generosity. Everyone present couldn't help but look at him in surprise, wanting to see who it was that
spent so much money here!
Kent was in high spirits and looked at Duncan provocatively, as if he was saying, "What can you
compare with me?"
Duncan sneered in his heart. "This fool is still complacent after taking a fake. I'll see how you cry when
I go back!"
Unconsciously, more than a dozen auction items were delivered. Some of them were not real, but most
were genuine. Only three or four were fake out of more than a dozen auction items.
As for Kent, who had bid for two collections in succession, he was not interested in other things and did
not continue to bid.
Suddenly, the 13th item was put on the auction stage which was a "glazed camel"!
As soon as it was put on the stage, Duncan suddenly felt a strange aura, which made him cast his eyes
on it!
It was because when the glazed pottery appeared, there was actually a slight fluctuation in his Spirit
Universe, transmitting thoughts of desire to him!
Kent, who had bought two collections, was also interested in it. He asked Ran, "Ran, how do you like
this glazed pottery?"
"Mr. Morris, it looked genuine." Ran reminded him.
Hearing this, Duncan raised his eyebrows slightly. He could not help but turn his head and glance at
Ran. He began to suspect.
In fact, this glazed pottery was also a fake!
It was impossible for her to fail in identifying three fakes in succession.
Thinking of what Erica just said, Duncan seemed to know something.
Unfortunately, Kent, a layman, did not know how to identify treasures at all. When he heard the result
drawn by Ran, he smiled happily.
"Zoe, I remember that your father likes glazed potteries the most, right?"
Kent said to Zoe in a flattering tone, "I'll buy this one for you to take it back, so that Mr. Miller won't
blame you for not bringing anything back to JN City."
Hearing this, Zoe frowned slightly. She didn't want to accept his gift.
But before she could refuse, the pleasant voice of the host below had already sounded.
"The next item to be auctioned is a 'glazed horse' of the Tang Dynasty. The starting price is 5 million,
and each increase must be no less than 500 thousand!"
Although this glazed horse was a replica, it was extremely realistic. To observing from a distance, one
could not identify it as a fake at all.
Naturally, such a spurious treasure, which looked like a genuine one, aroused the enthusiasm of the
people present, and each of them took part in the bidding. Even Lennon couldn't help but pay a price.
However, compared with Kent, a rich and powerful man in the B City who tried to win the beauty's
heart, the local rich and powerful people in JN City were still at a disadvantage. Kent won the glazed
horse at a high price of 30 million dollars!
After taking three collections, Kent was very happy. He directly shouted at the auctioneer on the high
platform, "Aha! Hello? Give me the glazed horse right now. I want to take a closer look!"
Of course, the auctioneer would not object. Even if Kent did not pay at the time being, he had bought it
after all. Even if the glazed horse was a fake, he would not be able to leave here unless he paid for it.
Besides Kent, Duncan was the happiest.
Duncan was thinking about finding some excuses later. He didn't expect Kent to be so self-aware. "God
is helping me!"
Ran was smiling too, but when she heard Kent's words, she looked a little alert.
