Just as he spoke, Maggie and the other antique shop owners were shocked. All of them gave the compass a
closer look..
As they were very much into antiques, they naturally knew who Leonardo was.
Leonardo was a Master Geomancer from the Calthean Era, however, the stories about his life were hard to verify.
He started out as a government officer and started to develop an interest in geomancy. One day, he decided to leave his job and roam the countryside practicing it.
He even wrote the famous book The Thirty–Six Mysteries which contained the skills which a Master Geomancer must have.
As the compass was used by Leonardo himself, three hundred thousand was considered a bargain.
“Don’t shoot your mouth off if you don’t know anything. You may cause someone to buy it by mistake,” Kate frowned and reprimanded Alex as she pulled his sleeve.
She realized that Alex was growing increasingly defiant.
This is Maggie Grant of Breezeworth Hall that is here.

Many people didn’t know about Breezeworth Hall but she knew them well. They were a powerful organization with auction houses strewn all over the nation. Their family’s influence was greater than that of the Sutton family.
If Alex misled Maggie and Maggie ended up buying the dilapidated compass, the antique appraisers at Breezeworth Hall would quickly identify it as a fake.
By then, the Grant family would definitely have Alex punished.
“I don’t know anything?”
Alex replied with a laugh, “Your good friend Heather has never told you that I am a Master Geomancer. Do you know the Jones family? When they see me, they greet me respectfully as Master.”
“Huh? You are a Master Geomancer?” Kate rolled her eyes as she felt Alex was just acting up.
However, Maggie and the others looked at Alex inquisitively. They were judging whether Alex was boasting.
Ignoring Kate, Alex gently knocked on the compass and said, “For a porcelain compass, an imitation would give out a rattling sound. But this one sounds sharp and crisp. The reason it looks new isn’t that it was made recently. It was due to the previous owner having enough knowledge of antiques to have taken good care of it. Therefore, it looks as if it had just been made.”
“If you look at the floral decorations that filled the compass, these can’t be baked by ordinary kilns. In fact, you need an imperial Kiln from the Calthean Era to bake it.” As Alex weighed the compass in his hands, he prepared to buy it as three hundred thousand was a bargain.
The reason he explained so much was just to let Kate know he wasn’t boasting and that he really knew his
stuff.

It did work as Kate was stunned by Alex’s words. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
Given how logically he explained it, is he really a Master Geomancer?

She felt surprised at how much Alex knew given that he was only a live–in son–in–law. No wonder Heather fell for him then.
It appeared that Alex wasn’t as useless as she thought.

”
Maggie was doubtful initially but now all her doubts were laid to rest.
Whipping out her phone, she scanned the vendor’s QR code and paid him within ten seconds.
Ding!
At that moment, the crowd started to chatter. Breezeworth Hall wasn’t just a large auctioneer, they were also filthy rich to splurge three hundred thousand in a blink of an eye.
In the end, it was the vendor who was the most shocked. As he stared at the compass without blinking, his mind started to race.
Is this really a treasure used by a Master Geomancer from the Calthean Era?
“Lady, I thought you no longer wanted it.” Looking at Maggie, Alex spread his hands and was at a loss at how to respond.
If he knew she was going to pre–empt him, he would’ve paid first and explained later.
At that moment, the vendor snatched the compass back from Alex. He shook his head with a smile. “Lady, you heard me wrong. How is it possible for me to sell you such a valuable Calthean Era compass for only three hundred thousand?”
