Chapter 142
Levi stared at Jenifer with pink-rimmed eyes. He was no longer obedient and pointed to Oliver and said fiercely, “Are you sure you wanna be with him but not me?”
Jenifer said annoyingly, “Excuse me? I’d never said that I wanna be with you.”
Levi’s face turned gloomy. He glared at Oliver again and roared, “Stand up and fight with me if you dare! Don’t hide behind
a woman!”
Oliver glanced at Levi contemptuously. He wasn’t scared by Levi, but he didn’t think it was worth it.
He didn’t like Jenifer at all and had nothing to do with her, but Levi wanted him to fight because of Jenifer. Isn’t it ridiculous? Will was also annoyed by Levi’s madness. Seeing that he couldn’t persuade Levi, a thought occurred to him and he said to Levi, “Levi, we are all adults. It’s not appropriate for us to do so. And fighting is illegal. Misfortune won’t do anyone good. Let me make a suggestion. If you insist on fighting, why don’t you have a verbal struggle?”
Levi asked in a deep voice, “What do you mean?”
Will smiled and said, “Pick what you are good at. You can decide by yourselves to keep fair.”
Levi glanced at Oliver coldly and asked him, “That’s fine. Let’s have a bet. What are you good at?”
Oliver didn’t want to talk to him, but when he realized that the situation was beyond his control, he decided to make a bet with him.
“I prefer to identify anything, such as antiques, antique calligraphy and paintings, jewelry and jade ware, home luxury goods, even ordinary objects, flowers and trees.”
Of course, Oliver wouldn’t choose what he was not good at.
Hearing this, Levi was delighted and agreed, “Okay, then let’s have a wood gambling. You and I will choose ten items to identify respectively. To prevent fraud, we will write our answers on a piece of paper and put them in a box.”
Levi’s earliest work in his family was running a pawnshop. He had been a pawnbroker since childhood. Although he wasn’t that top-notch, he still had good skills.
Besides, his best bet was not that he would identify the items, but that Oliver wouldn’t recognize them.
He has collected hundreds of strange objects over the years, and this time picked out ten of the most difficult to identify.
It was estimated that Oliver couldn’t even recognize one of them, and if he recognized two or three of the things Oliver offers, he would win.
Levi held back his anger and added, “Besides, since this is a gambler, of course we have to add some bonus. How about 4 million dollars? Whoever loses will give the other 4 million dollars. What do you say?”
Will and Jenifer knew it was a trap, especially Jenifer who secretly gave Oliver a direct look to stop them.
But Oliver didn’t even look at her. He nodded and said, “Okay, that’s fine.”
Levi thought he was going to win. He didn’t expect that Oliver would be the final winner. Identification was totally Oliver’s strength.
4 million dollars?
Even 4 billion dollars was fine for Oliver.
Oliver even took the initiative to say, “To be fair, I’ll transfer 4 million dollars to Mr. Woods first. When one of us loses, Mr. Woods will be responsible for transferring the money to the winner.”
Levi couldn’t help but nod with joy. Of course, he agreed.
He also took out his mobile phone and voluntarily transferred 4 million dollars to Will, which was almost all he had.
Although his family was quite rich, he didn’t have too much money for overheads.
He was afraid that Oliver would cheat after losing, but Oliver was actually willing to transfer the money to Will which made Levi very glad.
All right, Levi was so confident to win the bet!
Levi took out the phone and made a call to inform his people to take ten items from his collection, And he indicated what kind of the ten items.
After the phone call, he said to Oliver again, “I’ll stay here in case you slip away. You have half an hour to prepare.”
Jenifer snorted and said, “You asked your people to bring the collection here. Oliver’s house is not here. You told him to prepare it in half an hour. Where can he find the items for gambling?”
But Oliver said lightly, “Okay, no problem.”
Then he turned to Will and said, “Mr. Woods, please take me to your back garden.”
Will nodded and took Oliver to the yard behind his house. Then he whispered to Oliver, “Oliver, I have some personal treasures. Maybe you can take them out for emergency.”
Oliver shook his head and said, “No, thanks. I’ll just use some simple items. Do you have a knife?”
Will called a maid to bring a knife to prune flowers and plants.
Oliver didn’t say whether it was appropriate or not. He cut a lot of branches and leaves in the garden, picked out ten small pieces as big as fingers, peeled off the bark, and scraped them on the scissors until they were unrecognizable.
Oliver then wrote the original names of these ten different kinds of trees on a piece of paper, folded them, and put them in a small box. Then he correspondingly put an inch-long tree knot into the box.
Will was stunned and asked, “Is that all?”
Oliver smiled and said, “In fact, it’s not as simple as you think. Mr. Woods, please look at the branches I cut. Can you recognize the names of these ten trees?”
Will looked down carefully for a while. The small branches were only an inch long, and the bark was peeled off. It was hard to recognize what kind of tree it was because of its shape.
He can’t recognize it anyway.
These short knots have only extremely difficult textures to recognize, which are hardly recognizable except by a botanist. Will guessed a few answers, then took the note that Oliver had put in the box and looked through it.
Without exception, he was wrong about every one of them.
Oliver smiled and said, “That’s it. It doesn’t matter whether I win or lose. Just 4 million dollars after all.”
Will’s heart raced and he thought, ‘Jsut 4 million dollars?!
4 million dollars is a huge sum that the average person can’t earn in his lifetime, but Oliver said “just”, which clearly means he has much more than 4 million dollars of wealth.
Is he really a super-rich second generation?’
They went out with the boxes in their hands. Levi’s men had brought ten boxes here already. They stood at the front door of the courtyard.
In order to prevent cheating, both of them had to put the correct answers in the boxes with paper in advance and take them out for check after identification.
Levi thought he would win, so he said proudly to Oliver, “You go first. If you are all wrong, I don’t need to identify your items anymore. Just admit defeat!”
“Okay.” Oliver didn’t even think there was something wrong with his words, he just agreed quickly.
