Chapter 685
Those handmade scrolls, on the other hand, were made of top-graded golden scroll handles and the finest papers.
The papers used were the most ancient paper available in the world, made with the most basic method used when it was first invented.
The method of making these papers was very complex and mysterious. They had to use a specific tree skin, then boil it with other ingredients for 70 to 80 hours. After cooling it off, they had to mold it with all kinds of techniques.
Every batch could only withstand five kilograms of tree skins, and the trees needed were not less than 1000. They needed to burn 200 kilograms of wood, with the time spent as long as three months. Since this method of making the paper was incredibly rare, this kind of paper was naturally expensive.
A long scroll of paper like this would cost as much as 300,000 per piece. Eight pieces of paper would cost 2.4 million!
In addition, there were golden scroll handles and white jade shafts, and all these would cost at least 20 billion! 2
That was not all.
There were green vases all over the hall. All of them were of the finest antique porcelain.
The ten antique vases of various heights were passed from generation to the next since ancient times. Every vase would cost tens of billions. The total of them all would be hundreds of billion!
Even the decoration would cost as much as a hundred billion. Max's statement of wealth was clearly made.
Every guest admired the D'Cruz family with praise, their eyes shimmering with awe. Even renowned moguls were stunned at the sight of it all.
Wherever one walked to, one would hear kind words about Max, about how everyone approved and preferred the Jordown Group more and more.
Max had a glass of red wine in his hand with the other in his pocket.
His darkening eyes glanced across the expensive items and antiques.
He made this banquet especially for Charmine. He wondered if Charmine would show up.
He prepared all of these to take over the Jordan Group, to make sure they would go bankrupt!
Hopefully, Charmine would not disappoint him.
The other person anticipating that was McKenzie.
McKenzie was not interested in a banquet like this. However, she knew that Max would not let Charmine go off easy.
When Max found her grandfather, Senior Potter, to write the words, he mentioned something else...
Charmine was not getting out unscathed once she walked in.
How could she miss out on an exciting act like that?
Furthermore, this entire Hundred Birds Banquet was to embarrass the Jordan Group’s existence. In every corner of the hall, one could hear words of contempt for the Jordan Group.
Whenever McKenzie heard someone speaking ill of the Jordans and of Charmine, she would feel better. 1
Nonetheless, she wondered if Charmine dared to show herself. Since the Jordan Group was on the losing end, would she show up at all?
Amid McKenzie's thoughts, a stunning red figure walked in from the door.
It was as if the golden banquet hall turned dull the moment Charmine walked in, and all eyes were on her.
Her red gown flared out elegantly with every step she took. Her white scarf and gloves made her seem as if she was the wealthy heiress of an ancient European family, very exquisite.
The eye-catching red ruby hair clip on her hair twinkled from different angles.
