Chapter 179: Chapter 178: Grandfather is Showing Off!

Knowing that Sean Knight had bought a new house for his brother, both his grandfather and parents were surprised.

But Sean made it very clear:

"Not only did I inherit my uncle’s legacy while abroad, but I also made a lot of money. Buying a house with this money is the simplest matter.

I also know that you all want the family to live together, but living here would be too crowded, especially after my brother gets married and has a sister-in-law, right?"

Sean’s reason was simple and undeniable.

Oscar Knight was already 28 years old, and he had been dating his girlfriend for two or three years. It was about time to consider marriage, so what Sean did was indeed the most urgent matter for the Knight family.

At noon, they ate pig-killing dishes that were specially reserved for Sean when the pig was slaughtered. They were simple dishes like stir-fried meat with sour cabbage and beans with stir-fried pig liver.

Because the meat was fresh that day, it tasted different from usual.

Sean sighed, thinking he should have returned home earlier.

The New Year passed in a flurry of preparations.

Since they were not in the village, they only needed to visit a few close relatives on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the feeling of childhood was gone.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, brothers Sean and Oscar Knight went to Uncle Ethan Lewis’s house to pay a New Year’s visit. Sean took out some special products he brought back from the Beautiful Country and then gave a golden coin to Uncle and Aunt, as well as his younger cousin.

"We can’t accept this." Uncle saw that it was gold and immediately refused, "Sean, this is too valuable."

"Uncle, don’t refuse. I have plenty of these. I found them while treasure-hunting abroad." Sean didn’t accept his refusal, "It’s just a trinket, so please keep it."

As soon as Sean had some free time, Grandfather Benjamin Lewis pulled him into the bedroom and asked:

"Sean, what about the Bronze Man...?"

"It’s on its way. It’s not easy to bring it over, is it?"

"Alright... when it arrives, you must let me know!"

By the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, most of the relatives had left, and Sean found an excuse to pack the Bronze Man in a wooden box, put it in the trunk of the car, and went to the Uncle’s Little District.

"Grandfather, I’m here, and the item is in my car." Sean didn’t go upstairs and directly made a phone call to his grandfather.

Benjamin Lewis hurriedly put on his coat and went downstairs, with Granny calling after him:

"Put it on properly before going down! Don’t catch a cold!"

Upon seeing Sean’s car downstairs, Benjamin Lewis slowed down and approached it.

Sean had already opened the trunk, revealing the wooden box. He opened the lid and let Benjamin Lewis see its contents.

Looking at the item he had previously seen in books, pictures, and on his mobile phone, Benjamin Lewis touched it with trembling hands and looked at the acupoints and meridians on it for a long time before finally raising his head to ask Sean:

"Sean, has it been appraised yet? Which era does it belong to?"

"It hasn’t been appraised, but it’s highly likely to be an original from the Song Dynasty."

Sean was confident since the Sky Eye had provided enough hints.

When Sean said that, Benjamin Lewis’s already calm emotions became excited again!

"This is a national treasure!"

"Sean, what do you plan to do with it?"

Sean shook his head and said:

"I haven’t thought about it yet."

As for national treasure level items, besides this one, he also had an ivory mat. However, it was difficult to bring that out, while this Bronze Man was more manageable.

"Come on, take a picture of me, and I’ll just stand here!" Benjamin Lewis gently tapped the Bronze Man as if afraid of breaking it, then stood next to the car and handed his mobile phone to Sean.

Sean complied and took a few extra pictures.

"Alright, I’ll use this one," Benjamin Lewis sat in the car, selected an image, and then handed his phone back to Sean, "send it to my friend circle with this picture attached, saying... dream come true."

Sean couldn’t help but want to laugh. It seemed that Grandfather wanted to show off a bit.

But it was fine; let him show off. There was nothing wrong with that.

After Sean sent the message, he checked his grandfather’s friend circle and found that almost all of the ten or so elderly people were showing off their travels, their children’s filial piety, and their grandchildren’s academic achievements.

No wonder!

It must be said that Grandfather’s show-off was unique, and it could also shock those people.

After returning the mobile phone to his grandfather, Sean was about to speak when his grandfather’s phone rang.

Grandfather picked up the phone and checked it carefully, revealing a look of triumph on his face.

"Hmph! I knew you, Mr. Ward, would be the most anxious!"

Before Grandfather could answer the call, a loud voice on the other end immediately shouted a question:

"Mr. Oliver, how did you take that picture in your friend circle? Why does that Bronze Man look so familiar? Is it a model?"

"How could I take a picture with a model?" Grandfather looked disdainful, "I would only take pictures with the genuine article!"

"What? The real thing? Impossible! Absolutely impossible! There are only two genuine Bronze Men in our Domestic, and the size is wrong..."

"Why can’t there be a third one then?" Benjamin Lewis replied proudly, "History has recorded more than three!"

"How is that possible? How is that possible..."

The voice on the other side was loud and agitated, even shouting.

Sean could tell that the person wasn’t denying it, but rather, felt it was impossible, incredible. In fact, the tone of denial seemed to have a strong desire for this to be genuine.

"Nothing is impossible," Benjamin Lewis glanced at Sean and said with a smile:

"It was brought here by my grandson Jackson from abroad. If you want to see it, you’d better come now. Otherwise, you might not... look, look, Mr. Lancaster is calling!"

"Don’t be in a hurry! Don’t promise him anything! I’ll book a flight right now and come find you!"

After the man Mr. Ward hung up the phone, Benjamin Lewis answered Mr. Lancaster’s call.

"Mr. Oliver, you’re playing with quite a novelty there!" Mr. Lancaster called, setting the tone, "You’re playing with it even at your age, are you bluffing everyone?"

Benjamin Lewis replied nonchalantly:

"If you think it’s a bluff, then let it be a bluff!"

Seeing that Benjamin Lewis wasn’t taking the bait, Mr. Lancaster became somewhat apprehensive:

"Mr. Oliver, tell me the truth, is it a film and television prop or something? It looks quite realistic! Which company made it? I’d like to get one made as a teaching prop for the young people in my department."

"You can’t afford to have one made," Benjamin Lewis half-joked, half-scoffed,

"They wouldn’t be willing to make one for you."

"No way! Are they that hard to please?" Mr. Lancaster still didn’t catch on, continuing, "Then let me have yours. How much do you want? I’ll pay."

"You can’t afford it," Benjamin Lewis continued to tease, "you couldn’t even buy a single finger with your own money."

Mr. Lancaster could hear something was up:

"Mr. Oliver, are you saying... that it’s real?"

"Why can’t it be real?" Having experienced the conversation with Mr. Ward earlier, Mr. Oliver was already calm, "Why else would I say that?"

"You... that’s impossible!"

"Hahaha!" Mr. Oliver heard Mr. Lancaster’s disbelief in his tone and laughed triumphantly.

It was worth it!
