Book:The Ultimate Husband Published:2024-5-1

“The things that Master Wood sold at Treasure Shop in the past were shocking treasures, which was been mind-blowing. What does he bring this time?” An old expert exclaimed, looking very expectant.
After the two young men’s working, there was a roll of calligraphy and a pair of milky white porcelain vases on the table.
“We have known each other for a long time. Do you understand my rules?” Marcus said slowly.
“Yes. We all understand the rules.” An old expert said with a smile.
“Of course, we do. Master Wood’s rules are well-known in City Auton!” A dude said slowly, “The one who likes the thing from Master Wood should offer a price. Or, if he thinks he is powerful enough, he can promise an offer of help and take the Master Wood’s collection without money!”
“That’s it. Last time, Mr. Collins took a top-level imperial jade emerald pine carving Gallery which is worth more than nine million from Master Wood, and promised to help Master Wood a favor afterwards,” said a middle-aged woman.
“Don’t even think about getting the treasure for free. Mr. Collins is one of the rulers of the Collins family. There are few people as powerful as him in City Auton”
With the arrival of Marcus, all the distinguished guests present here were excited. They were all looking forward to something.
“Marcus’s rules sounds very interesting. Is he really willing to give away such an expensive collection for nothing?” Dayanara said curiously. Her eyes were flickering as if she was thinking about something.
“Dayanara, this is why Marcus is so powerful.” Cecelia said with a smile, explaining, “As long as someone bids, as long as Marcus is satisfied, he will sell it regardless of the price. Moreover, the collection he gave away for nothing is a favor, and it is more worthwhile than money!”
“His rules are also well-known in the circle. Every time he appears in Treasure Shop, he is enthusiastically sought after. He has earned his fame, and has connections. There are still many powerful people in City Auton who owe him favors.” Cecelia said slowly, showing her admiration.
“It sounds like that.” Dayanara nodded slightly.
“Well, everyone. Here are the two things. If you are interested, put a price.” Marcus said in a calm tone, let the young apprentice who followed him make a pot of tea and taste it slowly.
As soon as he spoke, all the distinguished guests in the room stood up and looked dignifiedly around the long mahogany table.
“The things Master Wood brought are really extraordinary. To be honest, I can’t easily determine the authenticity of these two things at my level!” An old expert wearing glasses exclaimed.
“It’s a feast for the eyes! I don’t dare to talk about whether these two collections are genuine or fake.”
“It’s a pity. I guess I won’t be able to quote the price that Master Wood wants.”
After the guests watched, they were all shocking, with different expressions and sighs.
Obviously, the two collections brought by Marcus were absolutely extraordinary!
After watching the things by the long mahogany table for a while, Theodore looked at Alberto with a playful expression, “Master Alberto, why don’t you just come and see? What do you think of this famous painting?”
“Yes, Master Alberto, aren’t you an expert? The distinguished guests here are afraid to judge the collection. This is your show time! Tell us your opinion!” Kendall followed Theodore and said to Alberto.
“Xu Wei’s paintings in Ming Dynasty, it’s genuine” Alberto said calmly.
“Many experts here dare not to draw the conclusion in such a short time. You dare to make a conclusion right away when you look so far? Are you too exaggerated?” An old expert said with a dissatisfied expression, seeming to think Alberto was insulting professionals like them.
“You’ve been talking nonsense. Everyone knows that this is Xu Wei’s painting.” Theodore said disdainfully, and questioned with a playful expression, “Since you say it is authentic? How did you know that? What are the characteristics of Xu Wei’s paintings? Say it!”
Alberto laughed without saying a word, and took a sip of tea without explaining.
“Can you? You don’t know, right? I may overestimate you. It seems that you are just lucky.” Theodore sneered at Alberto, and then smiled at the distinguished guests.
Theodore pointed to the painting on the mahogany wooden table, and said with a complacent expression, “Banana Drawings is the real work of Xu Wei in Ming Dynasty!”
After a pause, Theodore looked confident and said slowly, “I know a little on the paintings of famous artists in ancient times. Xu Wei was one of the three talents in the Ming Dynasty, his paintings have a unique style. He is really talented and especially good at flower drawings.”
“When I was young, I saw many of Xu Wei’s original works with my father at home. There are pictures of remnants of lotus, green bamboo, grapes, and various flowers. I am familiar with them. Xu Wei’s paintings are usually magnificent, straightforward, and subtle. This Banana Drawings brought by Master Wood can be determined to be a genuine painting of Xu Wei according to its technique, the freehand brushwork, and even the subtle style!”
After speaking, Theodore asked triumphantly, “What do you think?”
“Not bad! Mr. Theodore deserves to be from a family, and he has a wide knowledge! He can recognize it in such a short period of time and is reasonable. It is consistent with the views of our expert team!” An old expert applauded and agreed with Theodore very much.
“What Mr. Theodore said is really good.” Marcus nodded slightly, agreeing with Theodore’s statement.
Seeing this scene, Cecelia also laughed and said to Dayanara, “Dayanara, Theodore is quite extraordinary. Unlike Alberto, who’s only half good at it, but still haughty. You should tell him to stop talking. They are all famous people in the circle. It’s too exaggerated to show off his incompetence in the presence of so many experts!”
Alberto didn’t pay attention to Cecelia, but glanced at the pair of porcelain vases on the mahogany table.
“Are you ready to bid for Banana Drawings, Mr. Theodore?” a man asked curiously.
“This Banana Drawings is at least five million. It seems that Mr. Theodore plans to buy it.” An old expert said.
Theodore smiled and said proudly: “No, no, no. Although it is good and worth a lot of money, but it is still not to my liking! I am interested in the pair of porcelain vases.”
