Chapter 180: Chapter 179: Even Experts Can’t Be Sure!

Grandfather continued to take calls from his old classmates until he went upstairs.

Sean wanted to help him upstairs, but he was stopped:

"You better not come up! There’s a national treasure in the car, so you can’t leave it. It’s more important than me! By the way, what do you plan to do with it?"

"First, find a reliable place to store it." Sean said vaguely.

"All right, make sure to protect it." Grandfather Benjamin Lewis urged while taking the call upstairs, and Sean left by car.

When he reached the Little District, Sean put the Bronze Man into his spatial realm and went home.

When he returned to the District, he saw his brother Oscar and his girlfriend, future sister-in-law Mia Harper, walking outside. He got out of the car and said to Oscar:

"Brother, sister-in-law, are you going out?"

"Yeah." Oscar laughed, "We’re going to buy some stuff."

"Well, take the car." Sean handed over the key and then said to Mia, "Sister-in-law, this car is my brother’s, so let him drive you wherever you go. It’s convenient."

As Sean left, Oscar let Mia get in the car, and he himself sat in the driver’s seat, still feeling a little uneasy.

He adjusted the seat and started the car slowly. Mia curiously asked from the passenger seat:

"Zack Fei, I heard that your younger brother TeSean went to America to inherit a legacy?"

"Hmm." Oscar carefully drove the car, which was larger, and although he had driven it several times in the past two days, he still felt a little uneasy.

"Why didn’t they let you go at the time?" Mia continued, "Isn’t it usually the eldest who goes?"

"My uncle meant for TeSean to go at the time." Sean explained, "TeSean is smarter than me and won’t be bullied. If I had gone, I would have died outside."

Mia didn’t feel it was unfair. She was just more curious and immediately asked:

"So what happened?"

"Well, my uncle’s adopted son had a bad heart and wanted to harm my brother... "

Oscar briefly explained the situation, and Mia also felt a lingering fear. She said:

"Forget it, going there isn’t really a good thing anyway. It’s best for us to stay here, safe and sound."

"That’s right, besides, I don’t understand foreign languages. If I went, I’d be cheated without even knowing it." Oscar had no idea what to do about his brother inheriting their uncle’s estate, and he was quite content with his current life.

But his younger brother, Sean, had bought him a house and a car, which made him feel somewhat embarrassed.

However, considering the situation, he thought he would accept it for now and repay his brother later when he had the money.

It has to be said that starting from Ralph Knight’s generation, family discipline has been very good. The two brothers have a strong affection and positive values.

While showing Mia the new house, she was delighted and occasionally suggested minor modifications.

"When spring comes, we’ll hire a decoration company for minor adjustments according to your opinions." Oscar adjusted his mindset and said generously, "As long as you feel it’s not good, we should change it! We’ll be living here, so do whatever makes you comfortable!"

Mia felt very happy.

The second day, Sean was called by his grandfather, Benjamin Lewis.

"Why is this old Oliver always asking for my grandson?" Ralph Knight was jealous knowing that Sean was going to see his grandfather, "Can’t he find his own grandson?"

Sean laughed:

"This time, I brought back some antiques of traditional Chinese medicine from the Americans. My grandfather probably wants to make use of them, so... "

"Go on, it’s a serious matter." Hearing this, Ralph nodded, feeling a little grumpy but not wanting to hold things up.

Oscar handed the car key to Sean:

"You drive there. It’s convenient."

Sean took the key without hesitation, got in the car, put the Bronze Man’s box in the trunk, guessing that his grandfather called for this matter.

As expected, when he arrived at his grandfather’s house, he saw an old man wearing glasses and a suit talking to his grandfather. Judging by the sound, it must have been Mr. Ward from yesterday.

"This is your grandson? Indeed, he is very talented!" Mr. Ward complimented Sean upon seeing him.

"Don’t try to butter him up. This matter can only be settled depending on Sean’s decision."

Benjamin Lewis scolded Mr. Ward first, then said to Sean:

"Sean, my classmate Mr. Ward, is currently the vice-principal of a Traditional Chinese Medicine University in our country. He came here this time to see the Bronze Man."

"It’s in the car downstairs. I guessed it was about this, so I can show it to you right now."

"Great, let’s go downstairs and see it now!" Mr. Ward was eager.

"Okay."

Downstairs, Sean opened the trunk and the wooden box. Mr. Ward impatiently wiped his glasses and started to look.

"This..." After looking for a while, Mr. Ward couldn’t be sure.

"Has it been appraised?" Mr. Ward looked up and asked.

"No." Sean shook his head, "I don’t plan to sell it, so what’s the point of appraising it?"

Mr. Ward was choked by Sean’s words.

He was in a hurry to come here, not without intending to buy the Bronze man—if it was genuine.

Having this treasure for his own school would not be excessive, right?

After all, there is a good chance with the relationship with Benjamin Lewis.

But Sean’s words blocked his persuasion plan.

"However, it still needs to be appraised." Benjamin Lewis urged from the side, "It’s not supposed to be sold, but appraising it, seeing which era it belongs to, will make us old men feel at ease."

Sean was indifferent. Since his grandfather said to appraise it, let it be appraised.

"I’ll pay for the appraisal!" said Mr. Ward generously.

"That’s not necessary. You’re so eager to help, but it’s either wicked or thieving. We appreciate the gesture, but we don’t need your money."

Benjamin Lewis knew that his grandson was not short of money now, so he immediately refused Mr. Ward’s "kindness".

Through Mr. Ward, professional staff was invited to appraise it.

The round-trip tolls and adjudication fees were indeed not small, but for Sean, it was indeed a drop in the bucket.

Seeing Sean pay without blinking, Mr. Ward knew that it would not be easy to deceive him.

The experts came quickly and gave their results just as fast—it was suspected to be the Bronze Man of the Song Dynasty, but they dare not confirm.

All conditions met, but this treasure was too precious and had too significant an impact, so the experts did not dare to confirm.

"I suggest we invite several more experts to study it together." The expert, named Albert Lewis, volunteered, "I will call people. When they hear about this, they will definitely come forward voluntarily, without charging any fees!"

Actually, when he came over, he thought this time he would definitely not appraise the real thing.

Because the probability was too low.

So he charged the fee in advance.

But this money wasn’t easy to refund. If he had known the situation, he would not have charged at all!

What a great opportunity!

So, in order to make up for it, he actively invited other experts to come and have a "consultation" together.

Such things are also common in domestic situations.

For prudence, everyone studies together and pools their wisdom and efforts. They share the achievements and risks, taking joint responsibility.

But the matter has grown beyond Sean’s estimation and become a big deal.
