Chapter 838: 838. Backstage Owner of Dragon Pavilion

Elly Green looked at the youth with a hint of showiness in her tone and said,

"The inkstone I gave to Grandfather Clark is from the Song Dynasty, used by Emperor Huizong himself. It was with this very inkstone that he created his Slender Gold Script. I spent 2 million to buy it, and now that it’s been smashed, that’s one thing, but to think that it would turn out to be a cheap street stall item here, where ten can be bought for just 100 bucks?"

Two million?

Although everyone present was wealthy, to hear that Elly, who wasn’t particularly close to the Old Master, was willing to spend 2 million on an inkstone for him, they couldn’t help but glance at her askance.

It appears that this Miss Green from the Turnbaugh Family is quite generous indeed.

However, Sophia Thompson, upon hearing Elly Green’s words, looked at her with some astonishment.

Before Elly Green spoke, Sophia had thought that although Elly had brought an inkstone, it was merely a common inkstone left from the time of Emperor Huizong, but she did not expect it to be that very one they had admired at Dragon Pavilion?

Didn’t she find it too expensive and decided not to buy it at the time?

Could it be that she felt unwilling to be outdone by Elly Campbell, so she went back and bought it afterward?

Sophia Thompson suppressed the shock in her eyes, feeling that things were not so simple.

When the youth heard this, his smile instantly became brighter.

"An inkstone used by Emperor Huizong?"

He spun the folding fan in his hand quickly, and his gaze, sharp as a searchlight, darted over Elly Green’s face with a smile and said,

"That inkstone was perfectly displayed in my shop, when did you buy it?"

Upon hearing this, Elly Green felt a sudden panic and hastily avoided the youth’s eyes.

What does he mean?

What does he mean by his shop?

She remembered the inkstone that was on display in Dragon Pavilion, used by Emperor Huizong, and shuddered.

Could it be that he is the elusive owner behind Dragon Pavilion?

She had heard of Dragon Pavilion, where the mysterious owner never showed himself in public, always having managers of his various stores to greet the customers.

Not many people had seen the person behind Dragon Pavilion, and Elly Green had assumed that the owner would surely be a mature man over his fifties or even older. She had never imagined it would turn out to be someone not even twenty years old.

Confronted directly by the owner of Dragon Pavilion, Elly Green’s heart panicked for a moment, but then she calmed down, remembering what the person who sold her the inkstone had said.

"Ha! Just because you say that what’s in your store is genuine doesn’t make it so. All you have is a famous signboard; who would know if you sell fake goods under its name?"

This was the first time they heard someone so brazenly question whether Dragon Pavilion sold counterfeit items. The people looking at Elly Green had complicated expressions.

Let alone who was behind Dragon Pavilion, just on the strength of Parkers’ century-old reputation, would they really need to make money by selling fakes?

In the whole of Greece, if Dragon Pavilion didn’t have a particular antique, it was absolutely impossible to find it anywhere else.

Was this young maid truly suitable to continue making a fool of herself here?

This youth was indeed the mysterious owner of Dragon Pavilion, the only grandson of the Head of the Parker Family, named George Parker.

The name "Dragon Pavilion" of his antique store was derived as a homophone of his own name.

George Parker now smiled even more obviously, but the amusement in his eyes gradually faded away, clearly angered by Green’s challenge.

George Parker’s temperament was such that you could question him, but you could not doubt the authenticity of the items he sold. That would be an insult to his professional integrity.
