Climbing Up to The Top Summit novel Chapter 174

Meanwhile, an elderly man dressed in traditional garbs stood waiting in the underground boxing gym. H e surveyed his surroundings with an unhappy gaze, not making any attempts to hide his displeasure towards the place.

Anyone who watches television broadcasts on treasure authentication would easily recognize this man. He was none other than Shane Naiswell, the grand master of treasure authentication.

The reason for his arrival in the city of Niumhi was to have Harvey York authenticate an extremely valuable relic.

However, his appearance in the gym tonight was for the purposes of meeting up with an old friend rather than work.

Rosalie Naiswell, who stood beside him all this time, wore a similarly displeased expression.

From the room where they were in, they received a clear view of the boxing competition held down in the ring.

Although they hailed from a respected lineage, occasions like this were no stranger to them. As a family well-known for working with antiques, there were times in which they must associate themselves with rather unscrupulous folk.

Forced to wait for so long, Senior Naiswell's ire gradually rose.

Creak...

The door of the VIP room swung open.

Liam Stone entered the room, grinning. His eyes fell o n Rosalie Naiswell, and he immediately gulped down a tiny sense of excitement.

As the head of an entire gang of thugs, Liam Stone knew very well the reputation of the Naiswell family. Reluctantly, he retracted his gaze and bowed before Shane Naiswell.

"Mr. Naiswell, forgive me for using my uncle's name to invite you over. I have something I needed to be authenticated by you, but I couldn't care to carry it around carelessly as it has an incredibly unusual origin."

Upon hearing this, Shane Naiswell’s impatience vanished. His eyes shone brightly. "And what is that?"

"It's an artefact called the Eternal Jade. However, I myself couldn’t ascertain whether it’s real or fake."

"The Eternal Jade ..." Shane Naiswell inhaled deeply." Where is it now?"

Liam Stone chuckled. "Please have patience, master. W e can always look at the jade later. Right now, I'm having some problems in my arena. Would you mind i f I show you the jade after I sort everything out?"

"Not at all," Shane Naiswell replied coolly. "Still I'm surprised there's someone who actually dared to challenge you, what with your reputation in Niumhi."

In the underground boxing gym.

Harvey York rubbed his fists together, looking at the ring with interest.

Meanwhile, cold sweat trickled down Tyson Woods's forehead when he took notice of the crowd forming around them. These men were probably Liam Stone's followers.

"What, are you scared?" Harvey York asked nonchalantly.

"It's not that, sir." Tyson Woods replied grimly. "I'm just worried I won’t be able to protect you properly if any trouble comes up.”

He was someone who had slashed his way from the south to the north of his city with a mere fruit knife. How could he possibly have fear? Ultimately, he was experienced in dealing with situations such as this.

Harvey York chuckled. "As long as you're not chickening out, it's fine. I’d be disappointed if you do."

Right then, the ongoing competition in the ring ended. A referee raised his hands into the air and asked the crowd, "Everyone, we have now reached the special round you’ve been waiting for! Is there anyone here who wants to get a feel of what it's like to be in the ring? Don't worry, it's safe here. You won't get hurt."
