Chapter 5915
Elgar was blind. It was one thing not knowing who Darryl was, but he even spoke so rudely.
Elgar chuckled and said, "Loona, don't be angry. I didn't say anything wrong!"
Loona was furious. She was about to scold him.
Darryl smiled and said, "Loona, you should just accept his kind-hearted gift."
Then, Darryl looked at Elgar and said, "If he is rich and stupid enough to spend so much money on a high-quality imitation, you should just accept it." Darryl had no grudge against Elgar, but Elgar had constantly insulted him. Even if Darryl had a good temper, he would not be able to take it. A fake?
Loona shuddered and looked at Darryl in a daze. She found it hard to believe.
How did he know that the jade scroll was a fake?
"What did you say?"
At the same time, Elgar's expressions changed too. A ball of fury rose in his heart. He glared at Darryl. "Who are you calling rich and stupid? Dude, you must be sick of living."
Bloody hell, he did not even buy the gift for Loona, yet he dared to mock him? He must be seeking death!
However, seeing how there were so many people around, especially Loona was still there, Elgar forcefully suppressed his urge to hit Darryl. He sneered at Darryl and said, "Dude, why do I feel like you're just saying that because you can't afford it?" Then, Elgar looked at Darryl condescendingly.
Darryl chuckled and said, "I can't afford it. I'm sorry, I only buy genuine items."
"You-"
Elgar's face darkened as he saw Darryl's determined expression, but he calmed down.
Could the jade scroll really be a forgery?
Elgar approached the owner and said coldly, "Is the jade scroll an imitation? I will tear your shop down if you dare to sell me a fake one."
"What? Sir, you can't spew
nonsense." The owner was stunned
before saying agitatedly, "My shop is so huge. How can I possibly sell fake items? Also, this is my first day opening my shop. I won't dare to sell fake items. Look at the texture of the jade scroll and the inscription on it. How can it be fake?"
Many people in the room nodded in agreement.
"Yes, such a gorgeous jade scroll. How can it be an imitation?"
"Yes!"
Elgar's cold face gradually relaxed as he heard what the crowd was saying. Then he gave Darryl an ambiguous smile. "Did you hear that, dude? It's not an imitation; I believe you can't afford it, which is why you said that on purpose." Then, Elgar turned to look at Loona. "Loona, your friend might seem honest, but he is unkind. Just because he can't get it, he starts slandering others. Tsk, tsk..."
"Shut up!" Loona bit her lips and said, "He can't be wrong about that."
Loona did not know about Darryl's mastery of antiques, but she trusted him. If Darryl said it was an imitation, it must be a fake.
Bloody hell!
Elgar was enraged when he saw Loona still protecting Darryl.
"Dude!" Elgar looked at Darryl closely
and said coldly, "You said that the jade scroll is fake. Do you have proof? If you are bluffing, you are spreading falsehoods and disturbing someone's business. If you don't explain, you might get arrested."
Then many others around him began to speak up. "He is right."
"Yes, if you don't have any proof, don't simply talk."
The owner came over at the same time, looking at Darryl with a puzzled expression. "My friend, you keep saying that my jade scroll is a forgery; please explain in detail; otherwise, my business will suffer." Darryl took a deep breath and smiled bitterly. He said, "Sir, don't misunderstand. I'm not targeting your shop, but the jade scroll is a fake, indeed."
Darryl then pointed to the jade scroll
and said slowly, "The texture of the jade is not bad; it is indeed a high-quality white jade. However, the inscription was added recently, and the antique luster on the surface of the jade was made with an
extremely special technique."
