Chapter 326 Francesca voiced her concern , Andrew , you dont know anything about antiques , let alone artifact authentication .


    Maybe we should bail after all , this is Jayrodale , and even though were dealing with Orion and Aspen , whats the worst they could do ? Andrew raised an eyebrow and replied , Who told you I dont know about antiques ? He took the bronze statue from Cedrics hands , weighed it carefully , and turned to Orion .


    Since youre letting me go first , I wont hold back .


    Now , why dont you authenticate this piece ? Orion was stunned for a moment before breaking intoughter .


    You fool , this is nothing but a fake , and you dare test me with it ? Listen carefully this is a replica of the famous piece from the Hall of Faith .


    Unfortunately for you , the original was destroyed during the civil wars of the early 20th century .


    Several antique experts in the room nodded in agreement .


    Thats correct this statue is just a replica , they chimed in .


    The original was destroyed long ago .


    Young man , you shouldnt waste such a golden opportunity .


    Aspen sneered , And here I thought you had some real skills , but this is all youve got ! Orion scoffed , Boy , Ive authenticated your worthless piece .


    Now its your turn to examine my collection .


    Andrew smiled and shook his head .


    I thought you would have more expertise than this .


    Orions face reddened with anger .


    What ? Are you trying to back out ? Andrew spoke coldly , Antique authentication is about separating truth from fiction and getting to the bottom of things .


    Everyone can see this bronze statue is a replica , and your assessment is no different from anyone elses .


    Your so called authentication is worthless .


    Orion argued , Stop beating around the bush .


    Just tell me , am I right or wrong ? Dont try to weasel out of this .


    The Radiant Groups expert panel will prove in a minute that my word is gospel .


    Elsie whispered , Mr.


    Lloyd , this bronze statue is indeed a replica , no doubt about it .


    Many people wore mocking smiles , thinking Andrew was just a sore loser .


    Suddenly , Andrew smashed the bronze statue on the ground .


    Cedric stammered , T There goes my million dors .


    Aspen shook his head in contempt .


    Self destructive thats all you amount to .


    Orion crossed his arms andughed , Whats wrong , young man ? Throwing a tantrum ? Chapter 326 Ignoring the whispers around him , Andrew searched through the bronze fragments on the floor until he found a small ck pearl .


    Andrew remained nonchnt .


    I already told you youre just a fraud , Mr.


    Kelce , but you wouldnt believe me .


    This is real authentication .


    See this ? Orions expression darkened , but he defended himself , So what if theres a pearl inside ? That only means I didnt authenticate itpletely .


    You cant say my earlier assessment was nonsense .


    Andrew shook his head , I already said that authentication requires thorough investigation , digging deep until you find the true treasure .


    You were blind to see this as just an ordinary bronze statue , calling it trash .


    But you failed to recognize this priceless pearl inside .


    It only proves youre nothing but hot air ! At the mention of the priceless pearl , many people were visibly shocked .
