The middle-aged man was almost crying, and the feeling of missing an antique worth two hundred million made him heartbroken.
However, it was the place of Gray family here, and what Hugo said was right. There was no way to take back what you had sold.
After being knocked to the ground by a group of security guards, the middle-aged man immediately behaved himself.
Hugo turned his head to look at Casey, with an expression of admiration on his face, and said, “Mr. Davies's eyesight is really extraordinary. You can see that there is a layer in this painting. If it weren't for Mr. Davies's superior eyesight, I'm afraid this painting would be concealed.”
Everyone echoed right away, saying that Casey was amazing. This time no one supported Abraham.
After all, they only looked at the result. Casey could see that there was another layer hidden in the imitation painting, which was no longer what an ordinary person could do.
Abraham looked pale. Although he had figured out what Casey wanted to do just now, he felt that the probability of this happening was too low, so he didn't care much.
Who would had imagined that Casey had actually found a painting-in-painting, and even it was the authentic painting of Wu Daozi, which undoubtedly smacked him in the face.
After this, his reputation as the top treasure appraiser in J City would be greatly decreased.
In the appraisal industry, appraisers relied on their reputation to make money. Now that Abraham did not see the hidden layer in the painting. It would definitely have a great impact on his reputation. At that time, everyone would say that he lost to a young man around twenty.
This was undoubtedly a shame for Abraham, and many people would doubt his skills of appraisal because of this incident.
He turned his head and glanced at Caleb. There was an urge in his heart to strangle this stupid apprentice. Had Caleb not kicked up a fuss, he would not have competed with Casey.
Not only did he fail to win the competition, but his reputation was also affected. No wonder Casey would say that Caleb was digging a hole for him. It seemed that Casey's words were correct.
Casey looked at everyone and said, “Now the competition should be over. You can decide who you want to support.”
Abraham sighed and said, “You don't have to decide. I give up.”
Everyone didn't think there was anything wrong with Abraham's giving up. In their opinion, Abraham's skills of appraisal were indeed not as good as Casey’s.
Caleb cursed quietly, and immediately said, “Master, the dinner tonight will be really meaningless. Let's go.”
Then Caleb was about to leave the Gray Mansion quickly.
Casey glanced at him with a smile, and said, “I'm afraid it's not so good that you leave right away. Have you forgotten our bet?”
Caleb immediately glared at Casey, and said, “Casey, don't go too far. My master only lost to you because of carelessness. The bet just now cannot be counted.”
In his opinion, Casey was just a trash, even if he brazened it out, others would not say anything.
“So, you don't want to do it? I didn't expect that the apprentice of the top treasure appraiser would be so shameless. You are really embarrassing your master.” Casey said with a smile.
Caleb suddenly became anxious and cursed, “Go fuck yourself! Who do you say is shameless? You are just a trash. How can you call me that?”
Before Casey spoke, the group of people in the yard became indignant.
“Are you blind? His appraisal skills are better than your master’s. You said he is trash. If he is trash, what are you?”
“I am laughing so hard. There are still such shameless people these years. It shouldn't have been taught by Abraham. If Abraham is also such a person, then who would find Abraham to appraise in the future.”
“Abraham actually taught such an apprentice. It seems that his skills are really not good. I’m afraid from now on, the top treasure appraiser in J City will be replaced.”
...
Abraham's face was pale as he listened to everyone's words. Caleb really made him lose his face.
He kicked Caleb directly and cursed, “You trash, what qualifications do you have to judge others. Admit it. You agreed to his bet, and now you want to deny it. Who taught you this? ?”
“If you don't fulfill your words today, don't say that you are my apprentice!”
Caleb was immediately frightened. Everything he had now was given by Abraham. If Abraham did not recognize him as his apprentice, everyone would definitely follow him, and his life would become quite miserable.
He gave Casey a vicious look, then opened his mouth reluctantly.
“Woof, Woof, Woof.”
When everyone saw Caleb barking like a dog, they all laughed immediately, and did not show any mercy to Caleb and Abraham.
Casey also laughed. He found it funny when he saw Caleb’s shitty expression.
Caleb was too humiliated to stay. After barking like a dog, he ran out of the Gray Mansion.
Abraham also felt ashamed, and he left after speaking to Hugo.
Casey asked Hugo to help him pack Children Delivery Man, and then turned his head and looked towards Edith.
But what he didn't expect was that Edith was no longer there. Casey looked around, but he didn't see Edith.
“Did you see my wife?” Casey asked Hugo.
Hugo shook his head and said, “She should have gone to the bathroom. She was still standing there just now.”
Casey frowned. Edith wasn’t supposed to go to the bathroom for that long. Now that he couldn’t see Edith, and Casey felt a little uneasy.
He immediately asked Hugo where the bathroom was, and then went there.
After shouting several times at the door without being answered, Casey suddenly became anxious.
“Ah! Let me go! You are shameless.” At this moment, there was a scream from a room not far away.
Casey heard that it was Edith's voice, and rushed towards there quickly.
He kicked the door open with one foot and entered the room. Then he saw Zane pinning Edith on the bed, reaching out to take off her clothes.
Edith was panicked, and her eyes were full of fear.
“Young Master Gray, this...”
“Damn, here is the Gray Mansion. Are you still afraid of an outsider?” Zane said angrily.
At this moment, a young man standing straight in a Chinese tunic suit passed by.
When Zane saw that person, his eyes lit up, he rushed over and smiled, “Eric, are you busy right now? Someone frivolous is causing trouble in the Gray Mansion. Help me teach him a lesson.”
Eric was Margaret's bodyguard, and recently Margaret was living in the Gray Mansion.
On the first day that Margaret and Eric arrived, Zane saw Eric's strength, and all the bodyguards of Gray family together could not defeat Eric alone.
So he tried his best to make friends with Eric. Eric had nothing to do except to protect Margaret, so he usually went out to eat and drink with Zane, and they gradually got acquainted.
On the day when Margaret met Casey, Eric was waiting in another room, so he didn't know that the reason why Margaret came to J City was to find Casey.
“Someone dared to make trouble in the Gray Mansion? Isn't Gray family the most powerful family in J City? Why does anyone dare to make trouble?” Eric asked.
“It’s a dickhead. He thinks he has got some skills and acts so arrogantly. This kind of person needs someone like you to teach him a lesson.” Zane explained.
Eric laughed immediately. He was feeling bored. Now that Zane said that Casey had some skills, he became interested.
“Let's go and see who is it dare to make trouble in the Gray Mansion.”
Zane immediately took Eric into the room, pointed his finger at Casey, and said, “It's him, except for being able to fight, he’s good for nothing, just a gigolo. Eric, help me teach him a lesson.”
Eric glanced at Casey and asked, “Are you good at fighting?”
“Are you here to be nosy?” Casey said coldly.
Seeing Casey's impoliteness, Eric also sneered, and then dashed towards Casey and hit him directly.
Seeing Eric taking action, Zane immediately said to Casey, “Trash, Eric's strength is not what you can compete with. Kneel down and admit your mistake quickly, and I can let Eric spare your life.”
Casey ignored Zane and stepped forward to fight with Eric. After a few tricks, Casey looked at Eric in surprise and asked, “Are you from Davies family?”
The tricks Eric used just now were only used by Davies family in B City.
Eric was taken aback, not knowing how Casey recognized it, and asked, “How do you know?”
At this moment, a thought flashed through Eric's mind. He grabbed Zane by the collar and asked, “What is his name?”
Zane was startled, and said, “Casey... Casey Davies, a well-known waste in J City.”
Eric’s heart missed a beat and looked at Casey in disbelief. He didn't expect that this was the person Margaret had come for, the young master of Davies family.
He actually fought against Young Master Davies, if Margaret knew about this, even his skin would be stripped off.
