After walking for a short while, they came across an old-looking building.
"This is Treasure Hall, the best antique shop in South Bay City," Momo introduced it. She then entered the shop with Fade.
The shop was gigantic. It was packed with people and was home to a vast selection of items.
Fade and Momo began browsing through the items sold. There were a lot of excellent products on display, but they were all pretty cheap with a price range of a few thousand to a few ten thousand yuan. There were a few exceptions that cost more than a hundred thousand yuan, however.
These products were obviously very rare and luxurious for the masses, but for someone like Fade and Momo, they were very common.
Therefore, Fade said to Momo after he took a quick glance around, "Let's go upstairs and see if there is anything better upstairs."
Momo thought for a while and shook her head, "Let's pick something out here first, something cheap. It's the thought that counts, right? We will get something better for Grandpa later."
After hearing what Momo said, Fade nodded in agreement. He then let Momo pick out around six to seven objects that cost about a hundred thousand yuan in total. Momo paid for them all.
They put all that away, and now it was time for the main event: they were going to choose a gift for Egbert.
Egbert was the head of the Soo family and had a profound love for calligraphy. A common gift wouldn't be able to capture his attention.
Hence, Fade and Momo went to the second and third floor to browse for a better gift.
However, they were somewhat disappointed. The products on display on the second and third floors were miles better than the first floor, with their prices ranging from a hundred thousand yuan to more than a hundred million yuan.
However, Momo wasn't impressed. They weren't exclusive enough. If they got anything there for Egbert, he probably wouldn't like it. Egbert might even think that Fade was just trying to undermine him. After all, calligraphy was his passion.
Both of them talked to the owner and asked him to display his finest calligraphy products but ultimately, Momo did not fancy any of them.
However, it made sense.
Egbert was the head of the Soo family and a calligraphy enthusiast. Treasure Hall was also the best antique store in the area. Egbert must have been there countless times by now.
If there were anything here that caught Egbert's eyes, he must have purchased it already. Given the wealth of the Soo family, spending millions on antiques was probably normal.
They lingered around in the shop but still couldn't find anything suitable. Momo frowned and wanted to just simply get a gift for Egbert and be done with it.
At that moment, the owner came over and said, "Hello, there is an Antique Appreciation Conference going on right now in our backyard. Maybe you would find something you like there?"
"Antique Appreciation Conference? What's that?" Momo asked.
The owner answered, "The Antique Appreciation Conference is an appreciation event held by several famous shops in Pentagon Street together with some of our regular customers. Everyone will bring in their prized antique collection and gather around to have a little exhibition."
"If you find anything you like, you could also purchase it straight from the owner."
Fade and Momo's eyes lit up instantly after they heard what he said.
It was because there were bound to be some rare antiques present at the conference. After all, the people attending were famous shop owners and crazed antique collectors.
"Could you please bring us there?" Momo asked.
