Chapter 271 The Mistress Of Breezeworth Hall

The moment she spoke, a few owners of antique shops listened attentively.

Upon seeing their reaction, Alex’s curiosity towards the pretty lady was piqued.

Dealing with antiques involved many skills, including observing the opponent’s reaction and price negotiation tactics.

It was obvious that the antique shop bosses knew the lady. Therefore, she must likely be someone important.

“Lady, you have a good eye. This porcelain geomantic compass was used by famous strategist Hannibal to predict the weather during the Three Kingdom Wars. If you like it, I can sell it to you for three hundred thousand,” the antique vendor offered the lady with a chuckle.

Deep in thought, the lady didn’t respond.

Meanwhile, Alex was captivated by what the vendor said and couldn’t help but glimpse at the compass. The moment he saw it, his eyes sparkled with amusement.

He thought that the great Hannibal had actually used it before, but it was just a load of bull.

The geomantic compass was real, it just wasn’t from the Three Kingdoms period.

Surprised, he couldn’t help but scrutinize the vendor closer.

Alex wondered if the antiques were stolen, as both the Palantirstone and geomantic compass the vendor was holding were real antiques.

It was really rare for a street vendor to have on hand two authentic pieces.”

The antique shop owners who were standing beside her started to speak.

“Mister, do you know who this lady is? How dare you ask for three hundred thousand?”

“She is Ms. Maggie Grant from Breezeworth Hall. I’m sure you have heard of it. Breezeworth Hall is Eurasia’s largest auction house. The one in Nebula City is just a branch, don’t push your luck.” Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

“That’s right, I’ve been observing your compass for some time now. The glaze on it is still shiny while the engravings are exquisite. However, it just lacks a certain sense of antiquity.”

“It’s pretty good for a fake. The workmanship and color on it use modern techniques. At most, it’s just a top–grade imitation

“It’s definitely not worth three hundred thousand.”

Looking at the group, the vendor didn’t care for what they said as he had no idea what Breezeworth Hall

was.

“Three hundred thousand, take it or leave it. If you don’t want it, others will,” The vendor demanded.

The antique shop owners shook their heads in disbelief.

Maggie too had lost interest. Although the item is likely a fake, it is still worth something. Fifty thousand perhaps, but definitely not three hundred thousand, Only a fool would pay so much.

“Show it to me,” Alex remarked out of nowhere.

The vendor passed the compass to Alex without any hesitation.

+15 Bonus

Just a moment ago, Alex had spent eight hundred thousand to buy his Palantirstone. What an easy guy to take advantage of.

At that moment, everyone turned their attention to Alex.

Kate widened her eyes instead. Is this guy not done yet?

Don’t tell me he is really going to spend three hundred thousand buying that piece of imitation?

I am speechless!

He doesn’t look like he lives off a woman, instead, it looks like the others are living off him.

Holding the compass in his hands, he took a closer look and then gave it a shake. He added, “Mister, wher you claim that this geomantic compass was used by Hannibal, that is just bullshit. Let me tell you that this compass belongs to Leonardo, Master Geomancer from the Calthean Era.”

What?

Does the compass really belong to Leonardo the Master Geomancer?
