Yvonne and Lily felt weak around their knees. They were shocked! 7
'Could he really tell if the vase was an antique?'
The look of ecstasy on Kingston's face had utterly removed their doubts.
"Hey, after such a long discussion, do you want to do this or not?"
The bald man got a little impatient.
Darryl smiled stealthily.
'This guy must be a layman. He brought a priceless treasure to Pearl Pavilion, but he is only asking for only half a million bucks!'
When he thought about the mud residue at the bottom of the porcelain vase, Darryl was confident that the vase had just been dug out from somewhere. 'This bald man seems mysterious. Where did he get this vase?' Darryl frowned as he thought to himself.
"Yes! I'll buy it!"
Kingston repeatedly nodded as if he was afraid that the bald man would regret his decision.
Then, Kingston turned around and urged Peter Williams. "Quick, pay this gentleman."
After that, he carefully picked up the porcelain vase and told Yvonne to bring a box to stow it away.
The other antique store owners were all green with envy.
They all looked at Darryl differently.
'This young man knows his stuff!'
Peter paid the bald man. The seller took his phone and checked his bank account balance before he happily left the store.
Kingston looked at Darryl and said, "Darryl, I did not expect that you have such in-depth knowledge in antiques. Yvonne had found the right person, indeed! Even though you are young, you are well accomplished!"
Darryl smiled politely when the older gentleman praised him.
"You have helped me to gain a rare piece of treasure. I'll treat you to dinner this evening. How about a few drinks for the two of us?" Kingston looked at Darryl eagerly and extended an invitation.
The Xueyan Promenade Vase.
Kingston could not believe that the speculative treasure had fallen into his hands.
Kingston was thrilled; he was beyond excited.
Apart from delight, he had also developed a keen interest in Darryl.
He had only known Darryl as the Lyndon family's live-
in son-in-law.
He had never expected Darryl's outstanding display of skills at Pearl Pavilion.
I have to talk to this young man and get to know him better!'
However, Darryl seemed uninterested in Kingston's invitation.
Darryl thought about the bald man.
"Drinks? Perhaps another day. I still have something t o attend to, so I have to go." He noticed that the bald man had walked toward the end of the street. Darryl spoke quickly before he dashed out of Pearl Pavilion.
Kingston and Yvonne exchanged looks of doubt with each other. They had no idea why Darry had left in such a hurry.
