The Peremptory Casey Davies novel Chapter 490

Maddox was also full of embarrassment when he heard Annie's words. He didn't expect Casey to say that to Felix, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

Brodie frowned. Felix was a nationally renowned appraiser. There was nothing to question about this matter. Now Casey said Felix's appraisal level was average, even if he couldn't accept what Casey said.

"Mr. Casey, if you want to judge a person's level, at least you have to reach a very high level. Do you think that your level of appraisal is higher than Master Felix that you think he is average?" Brodie stared at Casey and asked.

"How could he be better than Master Felix? I'm afraid that his level is not as good as me. How dare a dishonest man say such a thing. Shame on him" Annie said with anger .

Casey sighed. He just said something casually in the voice of Felix's friend. He used to talk to Felix in the same way. Felix had nothing against. Unexpectedly, Annie and Brodie were so angry.

Seeing that they were about to quarrel, Maddox quickly coughed and said, "Don't you mind, Mr. Casey is just joking. It's so lively inside, let's go in and have a look. Don't be unhappy about a joke of Mr. Casey."

With that said, Maddox pushed Brodie into it, lest they really quarrel with Casey.

Annie glared at Casey, then turned around and walked in with Brodie.

Maddox turned to look at Casey and walked inside with him. He also cautiously said to Casey, "Mr. Casey, in the eyes of those who majored in history, Master Felix is their idol. Please do not made this kind of joke in front of them."

Casey shrugged and said, "I'm not joking, even if Felix was here just now, he wouldn't dare to say anything."

Maddox was helpless, but he didn't dare to continue arguing with Casey, so he closed his mouth so that Casey wouldn't say anything shocking.

Entering Rare Treasure Store, they saw that there were several cabinets for exhibitions. There were various antiques on the cabinets. A small card was placed around the antiques, including the introduction these antiques.

Everyone gathered around these cabinets, staring at the antiques above, carefully appreciating them.

"Everyone, these are the treasures of my father, Felix. I took these out today to let everyone enjoy them." A middle-aged man who seemed to be in his thirties shouted.

This person was Felix's son, Nicholas Brown. Now Felix retired, so he handed over Rare Treasure Store to Nicholas.

"Everyone should be aware of my father's level. There are few fakes in his collection. But today, in order to cheer you up, my father personally put two fakes in these collections. According to my father, although the two items are fakes, they have a long history, and they are not much different from that of the real one. If anyone can find these two fakes from these collections, he can take one from my father's collections for free. No matter how much it is!" Nicholas continued shouting.

After hearing Nicholas's words, everyone immediately became excited. They were all eager to try, as if they were the one who could find two fakes.

"Because there is only one collection that can be sent out today, whoever finds it out first is the lucky one today. Of course, there is a time limit, which is one hour. Within one hour, whoever finds it out first can take one of the collections away," Nicholas added.

Afterwards, the contest to find fakes kicked off. Everyone in Rare Treasure Store carefully observed the antiques on the display cabinets, and many even took out the magnifying glass, carefully discerning the traces of the counterfeit products.

Annie also seems to be eager to try. She had studied a lot of antique-related literatures in the History Department, and considered herself to be a half expert in treasure appraisal. Since there was such an activity here, of course she also wanted to have a try.

"Mr. Brodie, let's go and see if we can find the two fakes," Annie said.

Brodie nodded, walked to the front of the display cabinet and took a serious look. He also wanted to show off in Felix's shop.

At this time, Annie turned to look at Casey, and said with disdain, "Don't you think you are very good? Now you can prove yourself here. If you have the ability, go and find out the two fakes. If you can't find them, you have to apologize to Master Felix in front of everyone today. Dare you gamble with me?"

Casey laughed and said, "Yes, but I have to apologize to Felix if I lose. What if you lose?"

"If I lose, I will... unconditionally promise you a request. You can make any request as long as I can do it," Annie said.

"Any request? Are you sure?" Casey repeated.

Annie nodded with confidence, and said, "Any request. But I don't think you can find those two fakes."

Casey didn't speak any more, but walked to the front of the display cabinet, staring at the antiques.

Annie didn't hesitate anymore, and quickly went over and looked at those collections, as if she was going to compete with Casey.

After almost fifteen minutes, Casey walked over from the display cabinet, stood on the side, and stared at those who were still looking for fakes.

Maddox walked to Casey and said with a smile, "Mr. Casey, these two fakes are not easy to find. What Master Felix collected, even if it is a fake, it is definitely not something that is easy to see through. It is actually reasonable if you can't find them. It's just that you have to change your attitude in the future, don't be so rude to Master Felix."

Casey smiled without speaking.

Annie saw that Casey only looked for fifteen minutes, walked to the side and stood with a scornful smile on his face. She felt that Casey had given up directly because he gained no clues after observing.

Now it seemed that he was really a self-righteous guy. He obviously didn't have this level, but he insisted on pretending to be knowledgeable, which was really abhorrent.

But later, he must apologize to Master Felix in front of everyone. If he refused, even Maddox would look down on him. Thinking of it, Annie became happy immediately.

At the beginning, everyone was full of excitement, thinking that they would definitely be able to find the two fakes, so they all observing them very carefully, wishing to see through those antiques.

But as time passed, everyone found that they could not tell which of these collections would be fakes, because each of them looked the same as the real one, and there was no way to tell what was fake.

After almost half an hour, everyone frowned. Even the Dean of the History Department of Fudan University was full of sadness and could not find any clues at all.
