Chapter 599 Cottoning Up

Maximilian was not interested in the music and dancing, and he couldn't stand it anymore.

Maximilian got up and asked Amira to go outside together for some fresh air. He thought he would come back when the second round of auction almost started.

The break was just too boring and lasted for too long.

Maximilian and Amira decided to leave the venue temporarily and went to a coffee shop near the sports center to have a rest.

After ordered two cups of coffee, they sat down in front of a round table.

Maximilian sat in his chair and stretched his arms.

"Oh, I feel comfortable in the small shop."

Looked at Maximilian with a relaxed face, Amira asked, "Mr. Maximilian, are we sitting here to waste time? I think the bidders in the meeting room took advantage of the break to exchange business cards and make friends, but we ran out. Did we miss something?"

Maximilian was surprised to hear Amira asking such a question, and he was choked and responded quickly.

"Oops... I didn't bring my business card with me today, and there will be many opportunities in the future. Besides, I told you I came out to relax today and didn't want to meet any one. Let's have a good rest and get prepared for the second round."

"I see."

Amira thought what he said was reasonable, and she didn't ask any more.

In fact, Maximilian knew his reputation and strength now were not qualified to get along with those masters in the convention, but he would fulfill it in the future!

After sitting quietly in the coffee shop for a while, Maximilian looked out of the window in a daze when a young man came up and asked.

"May I sit here?"

Maximilian pondered for a while and was about to say something. However, the man had already sat down beside Maximilian, and Maximilian could see his appearance clearly.

His golden hair was very conspicuous. It turns out he was Euan, the young man he saw not long ago.

Euan sat down, took a sip of coffee, and looked at Maximilian.

Then he said, "Maximilian, do you recognize me?"

Heard his own name from Euan, Maximilian was a little surprised. He thought how the young man recognized him.

"Euan of Tripod Wealth Pawnshop, right? You're famous in H city. Naturally, I know you. But it is the first time we meet. I didn't expect you to know me."

Euan laughed. "Ah, I didn't know you, but I've heard about you in the Convention and Exhibition Center of H City. I'm impressed by your name, and it's not the first time I've seen you today..."

Then he drank the coffee in front of him and stood up.

"I just came to say hello to you. Oh, by the way, if you are in urgent need of money, you are more than welcome to come to me at any time. Your South Red pendant may deserve a good price. OK, I'll go first."

Then he patted Maximilian on the shoulder. Without waiting for Maximilian to reply, Euan turned around and walked away.

Although it was a short conversation, Maximilian had noticed that this young man was really unusual from his words.

Maximilian cherished the South Red Pendant very much, but he picked it up from the second hand antique market and had never made it public.

Only a few people know he had such a pendant. Euan not only knew it, but also saw that the jade pendant was the best South Red Pendant.

Although Euan didn't seem to have any malice intention, Maximilian felt he had to be on guard for such a keen person.

Looked at his watch, the second round of auction was about to start.

Considering the results of the first round, Pearce should put on some "real stuff" in the second round to maintain his reputation.

By the time they returned, the singers and dancers on the stage had disappeared. Instead, Pearce, who was wearing a formal dress, was standing on the stage with a microphone.

Maximilian and Amira went back to their seats and sat down, then they listened carefully.

"That's it, so before the second round of auction, I decided to add a special activity to cheer you up. Come on, bring up the pictures!"

At Pearce's command, two staff members brought a painting inlaid with gold frames to the auction table.

Maximilian fixed his eyes on it and saw that it was a Chinese style ink painting, with two horses in black and white galloping.

Pearce said immediately after the painting was fixed at the auction table.

"I bought this painting from abroad some time ago. I'm not afraid to tell you that I spent 200,000 dollars on it at that time! Today I contribute it, auction it on the spot here, and there is no bottom price! It's just to bring some funs to my distinguished guests here today."

As soon as Pearce said this, the entire hall clapped and the people on the stage began to talk about the paintings.

This was the liveliest moment since the beginning of the competition, and it was from here that the competition officially entered the climax.

Pearce went on, "Since it is an impromptu activity, and maybe many people do not know much about this picture. It's not me who decide this picture is good or bad, but it is up to you to decide. We have enough time to enjoy and analyze this painting. If you are one of the interested guests, welcome to the stage now."

So confident? Maximilian thought.

Today's competition brought many top treasure appraisers and counterfeiters. Since Pearce could make such an arrangement, did it prove that this painting was a genuine one with good value? Or was this another test from Pearce for bidders present?

Pearce, an old fox, was really unpredictable.

"Oh, this one is barely worth a look!" Euan, who was at the same table with Maximilian, said. Then he stood up with joy and walked to the stage step by step.

Looking at Euan, Maximilian sighed in his heart.

Young people were really courageous, but the first person to eat crabs was not so good.

The first person on the stage represented the best bidder this time. The results would directly affect the direction of the whole competition. And he didn't know whether Euan can figure out the benefits and disadvantages in this rule.
