Chapter 1095
If Xyla Quest wanted to make big money, then she had to run a bigger business…For example, setting up her jade mine, harvesting jade from it, and doing the same with a gold mine…Xyla believed that, with her eyes’ ability, discovering a large-scale jade mine and gold mine was not a problem at all.Apart from that, she could also establish an antique company to acquire and sell antique items.As long as she had her ability, identifying genuine treasures would be a piece of cake.Meanwhile, grabbing good deals from antique auctions or rock gambling could only be done as a hobby.If Xyla wanted to earn even more, she needed to engage in bigger deals.After making a lot of money, she could continually expand the various businesses she owned.She could even expand the scale of her family business.When Stanley Batton walked through the door with a bowl of scallion oil noodles, he coincidentally saw Xyla searching about the procedures required to set up a gold mine.“What’s the ma

This bronze mirror didn’t seem special from the outside. Its workmanship was very rough.Although the outside was fully covered with a light green patina, the patina didn’t look like it had accumulated over time.It seemed more like it was artificially made.At one glance, Xyla Quest could tell that it was a product of a recent pipeline.Her instincts told her something must have been squeezed in between the two layers of bronze mirror.Meanwhile, its rough and unattractive surface was precisely made to protect the object inside.Xyla guessed that a certain antique collector in recent times probably made this seemingly terrible bronze mirror to protect the object from being stolen by placing it in between the two layers.Afterward, the bronze mirror might have been misplaced and ended up here for some particular reason.As Xyla thought of this, she instantly walked closer to the bronze mirror. She leaned over with her hands on her knees and carefully examined the bronze mirror.

Although Mr. Warren was ecstatic, he couldn’t laugh out loud… He could only hold back his urge to laugh.Xyla Quest smiled. She directly wrote him a check and handed it over to him.After accepting the check, Mr. Warren instantly became even more excited.The bodyguards behind Xyla instantly looked at each other…This object was clearly fake. If it were genuine, the man wouldn’t have sold it to her for 500,000. That was because this was an object from the 7th century!Passersby, who saw Xyla making the payment, all secretly judged her for being a fool.When Clarence Steele arrived somewhere not too far away from Xyla, he instantly saw her through the crowd.That was because she was shining too brightly.She shone so brightly that even if she were in a huge crowd, one would be able to spot her directly.Clarence immediately approached Xyla and gently tapped her on the shoulder. “Hello…”Xyla slowly locked her phone and looked at Clarence beside her. A look of surprise appeared
Chapter 1098
Meanwhile, Xyla Quest, the other bodyguards, Mr. Warren, and the couple with their hair in buns stood around Clarence Steele and quietly waited.After taking a closer look at the bronze mirror, Clarence soon discovered the traces of black tape inside one of the gaps.When Clarence saw this, a satisfied smile instantly appeared on his round face. “Indeed, these two layers of bronze mirrors were glued together…”With that, he excitedly picked up the dissolving agent near his hand and started carefully using a cotton bud to smear the liquid around the edges of the mirror.After a while, Clarence picked up a toothpick and carefully placed it in the gap where he had originally discovered the traces of black tape. After that, he pushed the sharp end into the gap.Indeed, once the toothpick was pushed slightly inside, an even larger gap appeared in the edges of the bronze mirror.Clarence smiled in relief. After that, he picked up a small pair of scissors next to him and carefully inser

Meanwhile, the couple with the hair in buns were also stunned. The two of them looked as if they had been frozen in place. They felt nothing but shock!“Pablo Picasso… His real work! I can’t believe I’d be able to see a real work of Pablo Picasso while I’m still alive!” The man with the hair in a bun murmured to himself. While he stared at the painting of a deity, he couldn’t help but take a few steps forward…“That’s right… I really can’t believe it…” Mr. Warren was now close to tears.“Ms. Quest, this painting can be sold for at least six to seven billion… In fact, at a higher range, even eight billion is possible… Pablo Picasso’s works cost a fortune… As long as you’re willing to sell it, people would spend any amount to buy it,” Clarence Steele looked at Xyla Quest and said.Mr. Warren felt that he was being suffocated yet again.In the next second, he raised his hand and slapped himself twice. “Sh*t! I’m a fool!”After saying that, he stomped his foot on the ground.“Mr. Wa

“Miss… I’d like to ask… Can you return this painting to me?” Mr. Warren really was feeling reluctant to let it go!“You even told me to abide by the rule earlier. For someone who knows about rules so well, are you going against it now?” Xyla Quest said once again.“That’s right. You’re someone who knows the rule so well. You shouldn’t be doing this…” Clarence Steele couldn’t resist mocking him.Mr. Warren wanted to speak, but he couldn’t. Tears started rolling down his cheeks…Meanwhile, the couple with their hair in buns also had a jealous look in their eyes when they looked at the painting.“Pretty lady, could you sell this painting to me at a low price?” The male boss asked carefully.“No…” Xyla said.“Who do you think you are? Why should she sell it to you at a low price?” Clarence asked.The male boss didn’t dare to say anything else…The only thing was that his level of admiration toward Xyla had practically skyrocketed…In the next second, he directly walked up to Xyla
Chapter 1101
Clarence Steele had a unique perspective, and his professional knowledge was very solid.Most importantly, he seemed to be a relatively honest and straightforward person.Hence, Xyla Quest was very willing to hire him. Once her antique company was established, she would need a trustworthy right-hand man.Even if she hadn’t coincidentally bumped into him today, she would also look for him when she established her antique company.Clarence instantly nodded. “Alright… I’ll definitely come over when the time comes. This painting is precious. You should either hang it up at home or just sell it. It’s not safe to carry it around in your hands,” Clarence said.“I’ll just sell it somewhere…” By doing so, Xyla would have enough money to establish her antique company.“Alright… I’ll bring you somewhere in front. There’s a large antique store… They will certainly buy it. In fact, they would offer a high price.” Clarence passionately guided Xyla forward.Due to his plump figure, the flesh o
Chapter 1102
To an antique enthusiast, the real work of Pablo Picasso was something one could only dream of.The only existing pieces had all been acquired by museums worldwide, and all of them were not for sale.After that, Xavier York carefully brought the painting that was folded neatly over to the counter. He then gently unfolded it.A lifelike painting of a deity came to view. Xavier was shocked.This…This style of drawing and the handwriting!Who else could this have come from if not Pablo Picasso?Xavier instantly looked up and hard at Xyla Quest…The moment their eyes met, Xyla smiled. After that, she walked over to the counter with Clarence Steel.The two of them placed their hands on the counter and silently admired the divine work on the counter.Xavier seemed incredibly excited when he picked up the magnifying glass. He then started carefully examining the painting in front of him.The longer he looked at it, the more certain he was that this was genuine. The more certain he
