Dragon Master novel Maximilian novel Chapter 126

Franklin felt very nervous when he asked how much the Jade Dragon was worth because he had just fiercely mocked Maximilian.

 

Watching Maximilian giving away the Jade Dragon of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty as a birthday gift, Franklin felt very embarrassed.

 

The face of other people, including Iris, turned bad with their eyebrows furrowed. It seemed that the more valuable the Jade Dragon was, the more uncomfortable they were.

 

People who had said that the Jade Dragon was worth 20 dollars only now flushed with shame. They even wished that there was a crack in the ground that they could hide themselves in.

 

Humphrey furrowed his dashing eyebrows together with vague disquiet in his heart.

 

He had thought that he would be the most outstanding one today due to the private room he booked in Lasdun and the gold coin watch he gave Marcus as a birthday gift, which cost about one million dollars and more than fifteen thousand dollars respectively. However, he found that things went differently as he had expected.

 

Who had said that Maximilian was a piece of poor crap?

 

Could a crap give a royal thing as a gift?

 

The more Humphrey thought, the more heartbroken he was. It was possible that the money he spent today would be useless to achieve his goals.

 

With a broken heart, Humphrey took a peak at Victoria and found that she was staring at Maximilian, which made him cry out silently.

 

Victoria was completely stunned by such a fast change and could not figure it out. She had worried that Maximilian would make a fool of himself with the gift, but now it seemed that the fool was not Maximilian, but these noisy and ridiculous relatives and friends.

 

Maximilian smiled and said, “Mr. Hamilton, please tell me how much the Jade Dragon worth now. I am very curious about it, too. The Jade Dragon was bought from a street stall. It is such a windfall, isn't it?”

 

Humphrey and other people were in a mess and thought, “Fuck windfall, you dislike us and deliberately speak so to take a revenge on us’

 

Humphrey thought he was taken for a ride. Maximilian just spent 20 dollars and eventually became the most outstanding gay today, while he spent more than 1 million dollars but gained nothing.

 

Cyrus laughed and said with a cough, “The Jade Dragon has never been traded, so I can't directly give you the price. But I can give you a reference. A white jade bear made of Khotan jade and created during the reign of the Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty was sold at the Autumn Auction held by Christie's not long ago for 6 million dollars. As they are made in the same age, this Jade Dragon would sell for a better price at an auction”

 

With a thud, someone failed to hold on to his butt and fell off his seat.

 

Humphrey, Franklin and Iris were about to break down.

 

“Oh, my god! More than 6 million dollars, doesn't it? It is such a valuable thing”

 

“lam jealous. My son-in-law only gave me gifts worth 15 thousand dollars or so at my birthday, which are so cheap compared to the Jade Dragon”

 

“Maximilian isn't as worthless as people said. At least, he got such a windfall, which is enough for him to amaze us,’ some old friends of Marcus mumbled. Their voices were not loud but were clear enough to be heard by everyone.

 

A slight smile broke on Victoria's lips. She felt completely relieved that Maximilian eventually managed to make a good show this time.

 

Looking at Victoria’s smile, Maximilian smiled, too. As long as Victoria was happy, he would be happy, too.
