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

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

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

“Young friend, from where did you get this painting?” Xavier York’s eyes were filled with curiosity. “Pablo Picasso’s real works are extremely rare. It’s not easy for ordinary people to get them.”“I got lucky at the market…” Xyla Quest said.She didn’t feel the need to explain the details. After all, she wasn’t all that close to this person.“You’re too amazing. Where did you get it? It couldn’t possibly be from these three, right?” Xavier pointed at the three people by the door.Mr. Warren instantly nodded…After that, Mr. Warren explained the entire incident of how Xyla bought the antique from him to Xavier. Whenever he described something, he would feel pain as if a needle was poking his heart.After listening to the explanation, Xavier was directly shocked.Yesterday, he even saw on Weibo how Xyla had managed to grab a good deal at an auction.In the news, it was said that she had managed to identify a painting within a painting…Today, she actually managed to get lucky w

“We still don’t have a clue for now…” Zack Cassidy said over the phone.“In that case, have we found out who killed those people on the cruise ship on the day of Dragon Group’s seventieth anniversary?” Stanley Batton asked again.“No…” Zack sounded a little dejectedly.“Understood… Keep an eye on them and make sure they quickly get to the bottom of this,” Stanley added.When Xyla Quest heard these things, she felt immensely disappointed on the inside…Noticing the look of disappointment upon Xyla’s face, Stanley affectionately caressed her face. He directly hung up the phone.He extended his arm and pulled her onto his lap. Just like how one treaded a noble and obedient Persian cat, he started gently stroking her head. “Don’t worry. We’ll discover the truth…”Xyla nodded a little. “Hmm…”“I heard that you discovered a real work of Pablo Picasso at the antique market. Is that true?” Stanley asked.When this incident was mentioned, Xyla’s mood suddenly became much better.“Who

Stanley Batton ruffled Xyla Quest’s hair affectionately. “Okay. In that case, I’ll get their team leader to add you on WeChat. You can talk to him yourself,” he said.Xyla nodded.Stanley didn’t directly get someone to explore jade mines and gold mines for Xyla.Instead, he introduced Xyla to the best exploration team.Based on Stanley’s capabilities, when Xyla said she wanted to establish jade and gold mines yesterday, he could already have given her several hundred best mines this morning.Whatever Xyla wanted, Stanley could give it to her.However, Stanley knew that Xyla wasn’t the kind of person who liked a low-hanging fruit. Instead, she enjoyed the satisfaction of achieving things with her own efforts, little by little.Stanley only did this because he understood her very well and respected her.He would offer just the right amount of assistance to Xyla, but he wouldn’t do everything for her…As for how far she could go, it’d all depend on her abilities.Xyla gently wra
