My Aloof Sisters Asked for My Forgiveness novel Chapter 613

The competition was the most important part of the Antiquities Trading Hall. Sometimes, it was even more eventful than the auction of the precious antiques.

The competition today was definitely very interesting and attracted a lot of attention.

The competitors included the son of the chairman of the powerful and rich Boreal Group in Hattan, and Darren Langley, a renowned authenticator, who was helping him. The other was a brilliant newcomer to the scene. This sort of match-up was unusual indeed.

As the organizer began the proceedings, Dustin and Killian sat facing each other at a table.

Darren and Luna were standing behind Killian and smiling sinisterly. They could already imagine the tantrum Dustin would throw when he lost.

Meanwhile, Simone looked worried as she stood behind Dustin.

Although she knew that Dustin had a lot of skills, experience and a discerning eye were not the only things needed when it came to these competitions. Besides, even the most impressive people made mistakes.

“You will definitely lose this competition today!” Killian said to Dustin with great conviction.

“You talk too much,” Dustin said expressionlessly.

“Let’s see if you can stay this calm when you lose!” Killian chuckled.

“The authentic piece is worth 300 thousand dollars. You will each put down 150 thousand first. Then, you can bet between 300 thousand to 600 thousand,” the host said.

“Let’s go for 600 thousand, then,” Killian said without hesitation as he stared at Dustin.

“Sure.” Dustin nodded.

When they both agreed on the sum, they each began their examination.
