Everyone took a closer look; it did have the traces of lead, zinc and tin.
Such a precious antique was a fake!
The smile on Boss Cassius face froze. He did not expect that the young man in front of him did have talent, and his talent made him embarrassed in front of everyone.
Once his reputation got affected, people would be unwilling to buy antiques from him.
“Sorry bro, my trust of Patel blinded me. Please accept my apology. But I guarantee my goods are all real! If there is any faked item, I will compensate you 1 million dollars!”
Boss Cassius was a very experienced businessman and immediately changed the subject to protect his own reputation.
“Are you sure?” Maximilian said with a half-heartedly smile. He would not miss this great opportunity to make a fortune.
Boss Cassius said proudly, “Of course. I have my reputation as the guarantee. ”
Maximilian pointed at the crystal clear jade carvings and said, “It was ridiculous that your shop is full of fake antiques.”
Boss Cassius said with a cold smile, “These jade carvings are made by the jade from Hotan. They cost me a great fortune. How dare you say it like that?”
The crowd said, “A lot of people come here specifically for these jade carvings.”
Maximilian said with confidence, “Hotan jade is famous for its hardness.”
But these…Maximilian gave a soft fillip to one jade carving and the carving broke into pieces!
“Oh shit!”
“It was made of glass!”
“These are handicrafts!”
The on-lookers’ faces changed.
These were all made of glass! Glassware with sky-high price!
Boss Cassius gawked at the scene, and did not come to his senses.
The crowd was in an uproar.
“What Maximilian said is actually true!”
“I believed Boss Cassius so much. I didn’t expect it to be a big scam. Fortunately, Maximilian reminded me in time. Otherwise, so many people here today would be cheated!”
It is human nature. Once their own interests are infringed, they will work together to fight against the enemy!
Maximilian sneered, standing at the gate, quietly watching the farce.
Boss Cassius was stunned at the moment, and kept thinking in his mind, “How could this happen?”
At the moment, Maximilian had no time to take care of the antiques, but quickly dropped the pieces in his hand, and went to the stand with jade carvings.
Maximilian touched a few items in a row. As expected, they all turned into pieces!
“Maximilian, you plot me?!” Boss Cassius was furious, and was short of breath!
He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger by force, and apologize to everyone present, “Ladies and gentlemen, I am really sorry for this mistake. We will compensate everyone a free gift to show my apology. We are of good reputation.”
When he finished his words, the crowd glanced at each other, but they didn’t oppose the suggestion. It was like they accepted it.
Seeing this, Boss Cassius breathed a sigh of relief and began to command the onlookers on the scene to evacuate.
However, Maximilian was not going to give up. He stood up straight and looked at Boss Cassius who had just breathed a sigh of relief. He had a rare smile on his face.
“Since Boss Cassius is so generous, why don’t you give what you owe me?”
His words startled the crowd who wanted to leave and they stopped quietly.
It seemed … it was not ending?
Boss Cassius heard it, and fixed his eyes on Maximilian, with hatred flashing in his eyes. But under current situation, he had to submit to humiliation.
“Did you get wrong with your memory? I don’t owe you anything.”
“Are you sure?” Maximilian took two steps forward without any expression, as if he was just telling a fact. “But you said clearly that if I proved it fake, you would give me compensation.”
Compensation, when?
After hearing Maximilian’s statement, Boss Cassius felt the blood was rushing straight to his head.
It was so cruel!
With the thought, Boss Cassius was about to refute, but he caught a glimpse of so many pairs of eyes looking at him from all over.
His words were immediately stuck in his throat, and he cursed the evil guy in his heart.
If he strongly denied it now, he would be deemed not keeping his own words. Then his promises would be bullshit.
Although he was very angry, Boss Cassius could only say word by word, “I keep my word, but I just forgot it. I apologize.”
He gnashed his teeth when saying them these words. After all, he was really humbled to accept this feeling when he knew he was cheated.
“I certainly won’t blame you if you keep your promise now.” Maximilian shrugged his shoulders to show his sincerity.
Boss Cassius was almost forced to control his impulse to hit him, and wrote a check of one million dollars. When he handed it to Maximilian, he was still angry, but Maximilian didn’t mind it.
After receiving the check, which was not bad, Maximilian glanced at him and said coolly, “Since the debt is cleared, I will not disturb you.”
After saying that, he didn’t care about Boss Cassius’s reaction, and stepped out of the door calmly under the gaze of so many people.
The onlookers who had seen everything had different reactions. However, everyone knew clearly that Boss Cassius was humiliated. Even if it was remedied in time, he would not be as respected and daunting as before.
After all, Maximilian had not supporters behind him. Even if he could beat Boss Cassius, does that mean … Boss Cassius was not far from being a notorious man.
Thinking of this, some family leaders couldn’t help wondering in their hearts.
Once Boss Cassius’s fame got lost, countless people would be willing to take his place. For a while, there seemed to be an undercurrent.
Outside the auction hall, it was a different scene.
Maximilian and Victoria walked on the way back. When they went far, Victoria finally could not help but talk to him.
“Maximilian, you are so great. It’s the first time I see it. Boss Cassius had suffered a huge loss.”
The treasure was turned into waste and the one million dollars compensation to Maximilian was a great pleasure for him.
Anyway, since she was forced to retire by Boss Cassius, Victoria never thought about that Boss Cassius could be such a mess today.
Maximilian explained it calmly. “Since he regards his reputation so important, he would naturally not damage his own image in front of so many people.”
At the end of the day, he just forced Boss Cassius into submission through the attention of the crowd, but in this way, he became the real enemy of Boss Cassius.
“Anyway, I am very happy to see his loss.”
Victoria smiled and touched her chin, pointing to the front and said, “Let’s go to a restaurant for dinner first. It’s my treat!”
When the sky cleared up, it seemed to be a good day. The city was no different from the past, only with more strangers. However, the Cooke family behind Boss Cassius was no longer quiet as in the past.
Since the last auction, there were always some tentative attacks toward them. Although there was no much loss, it was annoying.
“Dad, what do these families mean? Have they worked together to attack us?”
Cassius’s son, Sebastian Cooke was angry and threw his clothes on the sofa, then threw himself on the clothes.
Sebastian went out to hang out as usual, but when he saw a girl in a bar, someone stood in his way. The man was of a family he was very familiar with!
