Chapter 102


    Tom smiled. He did not panic at all and spoke calmly.


    "I have to say, this fake is really well made. The material, texture, cracks all look quite simr to the real


    one. It''s really hard to tell the difference unless you are a professional. I believe that''s what you count


    on. You are sure that my father-inw and mother-inw can not tell the difference, so you sent it


    confidently." Tom said with a smile. His words were full of confidence and his usual cowardice was


    nowhere to be seen, which made James and Elizabeth dazed and felt that Tom was not the one they


    had been familiar with.


    Tom continued to speak. He began to talk about the blue and white porcin, using various technical


    terms. At this moment, he seemed to be a professional antique expert, and his words seemed very


    trustworthy.


    As he continued, James gradually became awkward. Although he was not an antique expert, he also


    knew somemon sense about blue and white porcin antiques. Naturally, he could tell that Tom


    was not lying.


    "So, I dare to assert that this so-called blue and white porcin made in Ming Dynasty is a fake!" Tom


    finally said loudly.


    Elizabeth''s face turned pale in an instant. "Really? Is it really a fake!"


    Her heart ached so much that her face stiffened.


    Phoebe was also stunned. She looked at Tom in astonishment and wondered when did Tom manage to


    identify antiques.


    Rory looked extremely awkward because what Tom said was the weakness of his fake blue and white


    porcin!


    But soon, he smiled and was d that he had a n B. He had expected that this trash, Tom, would


    jump out and cause trouble, so he arranged for an antique expert to pretend to bump into him!


    He winked at the bodyguard. The bodyguard understood and sent the message he had edited in


    advance. Not long after, three men in their thirties passed by the door. One of them looked into the box


    and saw the blue and white porcin on the dining table, pretending to be quite shocked, "Oh my God!


    Is it real? This must be the best antique blue and white porcin!"


    His words attracted everyone in the room.


    Then he walked in quickly. First, he exchanged a quick look with Rory. Then, he said excitedly, "Good


    stuff, good stuff! Who owns this blue and white porcin?"


    When he said this, his voice trembled, and it was clear that he was very excited, which made people


    realize that this blue and white porcin must be real!


    James and Elizabeth exchanged a look, and their desperate faces regained luster.


    "And you are?" James asked.


    The man immediately straightened up, coughed softly, and said, "I''m Benicio from the QK Antique."


    When James heard this, he immediately stood in awe and eximed, "What? Are you Mr. Bet?"


    Benicio smiled smugly and said, "You have heard of me?"


    James said tteringly, "Yes! Of course, I do! Anyone who is in the antique business in H City must


    have known Mr. Bet."


    Indeed, James didn''t know much about antiques, but he knew a lot about the famous people in this


    circle. As for Benicio, he was famous in the antique circle and had identified many antiques. For


    someone like James who loved collecting antiques, Benicio was undoubtedly a star.


    The reason why Benicio was so famous was not only because of his own ability but also because of his


    master. Across the whole H Country, he would still be the best of the best, namely Mr. Hall, Cal!


    When Benicio heard James''s ttery, he was even more proud. Unconsciously, he put on some more

    airs. He smiled at James and said, "I''m ttered. Fame is nothing, just like a floating cloud in the sky."


    "How hrious!" Tom couldn''t hold back hisughter. This Benicio was an excellent actor. He was just


    too superficial and too unorthodox. For starters, he and Rory would act together and deliberately


    deceive people. It could be seen that this Benicio was fishing for fame, and Tom naturally would not


    have any respect for such kind of people.


    However, when Benicio heard his snicker, he was very unhappy and asked, "What are youughing


    at?"


    Tom shook his head and said, "Nothing."


    James immediately kicked Tom and said to Benicio, "Mr. Bet, please don''t be angry. Did you just


    say that this blue and white porcin is an antique?"


    "That''s right." Benicio responded, "Mr. Scott, this blue and white porcin is an antique from the Ming


    Dynasty! Judging by its material, color,pleteness, it must be highly valuable! Mr. Scott, I wonder if


    you are willing to part with this treasure and transfer this blue and white porcin to me?"


    When James heard this, he took a deep breath, and his despair was gonepletely!


    Was this really Ming Dynasty blue and white porcin?


    Elizabeth couldn''t wait to say, "Mr. Bet, are you sure? Just as my son-inw said, this is a fake. It''s


    only worth tens of thousands."


    Benicio was so angry that he lengthened his voice, "Nonsense! This is an absolute Ming Dynasty blue


    and white porcin. Who is your son-inw? He actually said it was a fake? Isn''t this a joke! Forgive


    me for being rude. Which one is your son-inw? I want to hear how he recognize it as a fake!"


    His words were loud, full of anger and authority.


    Elizabeth was not angry. Instead, she smiled happily. That was great. This meant it was real and very


    valuable!


    "Tom, you ignorant trash, you almost fooled me over. Apologize to Rory now!" Elizabeth pped the


    back of Tom''s head and scolded angrily.


    Rory said with a cold face, "No need to apologize so soon, Tom. What you just said was quite a


    speech. You insist that this is fake. It doesn''t matter if you insult my reputation, but you have


    questioned my respect for my uncle and aunt, and my loyalty to Phoebe! I can''t put up with this. Today,


    you''d better give me a good exnation in this matter. Otherwise, I''ll sue you!"


    Looking at him like this, Tom could not help but sigh in his heart. Rory was really a good actor. He


    acted so well that it was a pity for him not to work in the entertainment industry.


    James and Elizabeth were immediately influenced by him, and their usations against Tom were


    even more excessive. They almost pressed Tom''s head down and made him kowtow to Rory to


    apologize.


    Phoebe looked at Tom with hope in her eyes.


    Even if what Tom said just now was right, he was still a nobody in the antique business. However,


    Benicio was a serious antique expert, with a good reputation and authority. It was easy for them to


    decide who was more convincing.


    In this regard, Tom frowned, and he was a little anxious. The current situation was not good for him.


    Fortunately, at this moment, a group of people passed by the door and heard Benicio''s voice. They


    looked into the box and asked, "Ah Benicio, it''s you? When did youe back to H City? Why didn''t


    you tell me?"


    When Benicio heard this voice, he immediately shuddered. He looked back automatically and called


    out respectfully, "Master!"


    Tom and the others looked towards the door and immediately saw an old man in his sixties standing at


    the door.


    When James saw this old man, he was shocked and his pupils shrank. Then he showed an excited and


    adoring expression and blurted out, "Are you Mr. Hall?!"
