Female Novel
Chapter 604 Triumphalism
Maximilian could see from the details of the pictures that the Guanyin Bodhisattva statue was made
from a great piece of ruby coral and didn’t have any sign of mixed texture.
It was rare to see a piece of ruby coral in such a great size. It was fair in quality and well-reserved in
form.
It was also rare to see the craftsman’s exquisite skill for carving this statue.
Maximilian was attracted by the pictures and forgot he was chatting with Euan.
He finally came to his senses when Euan called him a few minutes later.
He heard Euan’s voice treading on air after picking up the phone.
“Well, are you astonished by this antique?”
“You’re right. It really surprises me. Where did you get it?”
“It is from today’s auction. It is the last item. That’s why I asked you why you didn’t show up at the end.
It’s such a pity!”
What? This was the last item? Why did Pearce own such a treasure? How could he be willing to sell it?
“Yes, it’s such a pity. Well, did you buy it?”
“Definitely! I love it at the first sight and it really costs me a fortune to get it.”
“Well? How much is it?”
Maximilian was curious at the final price of the statue, as it cost Euan, a rich man, a fortune.
“The reserve price is twenty million dollars, and it costs me more than sixty million dollars to get it.”
Maximilian joked when he heard his voice, “Well, are you regretful? I can purchase it at the same price
from you!”
“Hah…You are daydreaming! I won’t sell it below one hundred million dollars.”
Maximilian chatted with Euan for a long time and thought they may become good friends.
It was almost down when they finished chatting. Euan invited him to visit his house and admire the
antiques and hanged up the phone.
Maximilian stretched himself and realized that the long night was finally over. He grabbed his bag to
have breakfast after washing up.
Maximilian decided to have milk and toast as usual and was thinking his plan today.
Then, he suddenly thought of the Guanyin Bodhisattva statue.
Why not go and have a look of the treasure, as he had nothing else to do?
Maximilian contacted Euan and found he was in the Tripod Wealth Pawnshop. Hence, he asked Amira
to send him to the pawnshop.
They were led to the lounge in the back. Maximilian found Euan was sleeping as soon as he got in.
Well…didn’t he have to work? Was it such an easy thing to inherit his family business?
Maximilian woke him up when he was wondering.
Euan was still in the sleeping mode. He recognized it was Maximilian and said sluggishly, “Here you
are…”
“Well, you’re so good at loafing on the job. How can you fall asleep in the working hours?”
Euan yawned and said slowly, “It’s your fault…It was you who chatted with me last night.”
After chatting for a while, Maximilian mentioned the Guanyin Bodhisattva statue.
Euan told him the statue was in his house and invited Maximilian as well as Amira to have lunch with
him.
After dealing with the business in the shop, Euan led them to his house.novelbin
A servant came as long as they got in. Maximilian knew him. He was Euan’s assistance Gardner.
However, he looked pale today.
Euan said to Gardner, “Well, I have told you to have a rest these days. Why are you still here? Once
you recover, I am still expecting you to help me with the business in the shop. I am really busy these
days.”
Gardner coughed at replied, “Well, I am just here to help you do chores. Sorry for the inconvenience.”
“Well…My friends are here to visit me. Please make lunch for us and then you can leave and have a
rest afterwards.
Gardner left to cook, while Euan brought them to the living room.
The Guanyin Bodhisattva statue with a giant red dragon was on the marble table.
Maximilian was attracted by the real one in front of him. It was way better to admire it in person than
seeing it on the pictures.
Amira was also shocked, “I have never seen such a delicate ruby statue in my whole life. It’s so
beautiful!”
Euan said complacently when hearing their admiration, “Well, I haven’t found a proper spot to place to,
but it’s a good thing for the guests to see it as soon as they come in the living room.”
Maximilian was accustomed to his show off. He didn’t reply but observed the statue in front of him
carefully…
They were invited to admire the Guanyin Bodhisattva statue with a giant dragon.
Maximilian said after a while, “I think it is not from the country. I assume it is made in Sakura Kingdom.”
Euan snapped his finger when hearing this.
