The gathering of the senior executives of the consortia and chairmen of multinational corporations had a collective realization

favor.

The delight on Ken’s face was evident. He was charmed by the white jade bowl.

They all presumed that the mining shares were likely to go to Suarez Group now.

Ken closed the box containing the white jade bowl and said to Kenji. “Thank you, Mr. Suarez!”

Kenji quickly replied, “Please, no need to thank me, Mr. Ken Davis”

At this moment, Ken turned his attention to Gilmore and inquired, “You must be Mr. Reed?”

Mr. Ken Davis, I am Gilmore Reed, Gilmore nodded in response.

“Mr. Reed, at such a young age, you have already made a name for yourself in the business world, truly remarkable, praised

Ken.

Gilmore modestly replied, “You flatter me, Mr. Ken Davis.”

Ken then shifted his gaze to Helene, “Miss Field, your dad is well, I presume? How come he didn’t join you?”

“Thank you

for your concern, Mr. Ken Davis. My dad is well but tied up with company affairs. He couldn’t make it. I’ll arrange for him to visit you another time, Helene

Ken nodded understandingly, “Ah, your dad won the CBD project bid, he must be quite busy. No need to visit me!”

With that, Ken smiled warmly.

Helene joined in the laughter as well.

“Mr. Reed, thank you for coming to bid for the Davis Group’s mining shares. However, I believe the offer of 13 billion dollars. is a bit low,” Ken turned seri

Everyone present sensed the change in the atmosphere. It seemed the serious discussions were about to begin.

They noticed that Ken’s comment on the low offer was not only directed at Gilmore but also at Kenji.

The reason Ken didn’t mention this to Kenji was obviously because of the precious white jade bowl Kenji had gifted him.

If Gilmore couldn’t raise his offer, the mining shares would likely go to Kenji.

Ken’s tactic was clever, putting pressure on Gilmore to increase his offer, and if Gilmore raised his bid, Kenji would have no choice but to follow suit.

In the end, the only winner would be Ken.

All eyes turned to Gilmore, curious about his next move.

Gilmore remained composed, acknowledging Ken. “Mr. Ken Davis, you are right. The price is low.”

With that. Gilmore picked up a cardboard box beside him, placed it on the table in front of Ken, and said, “However, would this gift perhaps make up for t

The crowd looked skeptically at the ordinary cardboard box placed before Ken.

They had noticed Gilmore carrying the box when he arrived, but none believed it could contain anything of value.

Helene was stunned when Gilmore presented the box, which supposedly contained a “counterfeit rare piece of Renaissance

art, to Ken.

Though not an antique connoisseur, she could tell that the white jade bowl Kenji gifted to Ken was extremely valuable.

Now Gilmore was handing over a counterfeit piece of Renaissance art to Ken. It’d be a wonder if he wasn’t shown the door!

“Oh no!” Helene thought.

The senior executives of the consortia and multinational corporate chairmen present also thought that Gilmore was unable to provide anything of real va

Ken looked at the paper box and asked Gilmore, “Mr. Reed, what is this?”

Gilmore held a steady gaze, his voice resonant, “I know Mr. Ken Davis has a great love for rare pieces of Renaissance art, and I was fortunate enough to

A flicker of astonishment appeared in Ken’s eyes as he pointed to the cardboard box, inquiring. “Are you saying this box contains a piece of Renaissance

Doubts were apparent on everyone’s faces.

Was the box holding a piece of Renaissance art, and specifically one from the early Renaissance?

The art from the Renaissance era represented the zenith of craftsmanship and artistic expression.

It was fair to say that art pieces from this period were priceless treasures.

Even the most affluent could pour endless wealth yet not necessarily obtain such rare pieces.

Had Gilmore really found such a rare piece of Renaissance art?

And to encase such a valuable item in a mere cardboard box seemed quite casual.

Hence, everyone was skeptical if the box truly contained a piece of Renaissance art.

Ken, too, had his doubts, but the allure of Renaissance art held an endless charm for him.

He immediately reached out and opened the cardboard box.

Then, everyone promptly saw a piece, about several decimeters tall, nestled within the box.

At the bottom of the piece, a mark indicating the early Renaissance period was visible.

All the gentlemen narrowed their eyes, examining the piece closely.

Suddenly, one scoffed. The counterfeit Renaissance art these days is becoming increasingly indistinguishable.

“Had I not been an antique collector for many years, I might have mistaken it for a genuine piece!”

Seeing the derisive laughter, Gilmore noticed it was coming from Liam.

The reason for his scoffing lay in his affiliation with the Wyatt family, while Gilmore was associated with the Fields family.

This association naturally engendered a rivalry between them.

His mockery of the Renaissance art piece as a counterfeit wasn’t because he believed it to be fake, but because he genuinely couldn’t ascertain its auth

However, an early Renaissance art piece of such value was something even the affluent and noble found hard to acquire.

How could Gilmore possibly have gotten it?

Thus, he was convinced that the piece was a counterfeit.

His judgment, subjective as it was, also carried an element of objectivity.

When he voiced his skepticism, the other senior executives present nodded in agreement, finding his assumption quite reasonable.

However, there was one individual who saw things differently, Kenji.

His eyes widened in astonishment.

His surprise wasn’t because the piece was being dubbed a counterfeit, but seeing the piece reminded him of a similar one depicted in Treasure Map Gu

The piece before him was identical to the one in the Treasure Map Guide, down to the designs, patterns, colors, and size. There wasn’t a hair’s breadth

Kenji, a seasoned antique collector, recognized from the additional information in Treasure Map Guide that this was a genuine piece from the early Renaissance period.

He hadn’t expected to find the piece from Treasure Map Guide here at the Davis‘ residence, which set a tumult of shock and awe rippling through him.

If the treasure depicted in Treasure Map Guide had surfaced, could it be that Treasure Map had fallen into Gilmore’s hands?

His gaze towards Gilmore carried a fleeting shadow of ominous uncertainty.

While the senior executives were engrossed in debating the authenticity of Gilmore’s Renaissance art piece, they were astonished to find Ken extending

His eyes, as he looked at the piece, bore a semblance of a parent gazing lovingly at their child, an inexplicable affection emanating from them.

He whispered, barely containing his elation and wonder, “I never thought that in my lifetime, I’d come across a piece of early Renaissance Art. Truly a wo

At these words, all the senior executives present were dunlifounded into silence.

They looked at each other, the realization dawning upon them.

Could it be that the Renaissance art piece Gilmore presented to Ken was genuine after all?!
