Shawn respectfully led the old man inside.
When they entered the study, Isaac was already in his chair, waiting for them. His red emerald box was on the table.
“Mr. Garten, he’s Stuart Wheatly, a jewelry expert in Southcloud. He recently retired and returned to his home town Layton, so I invited favonovel.com over… Mr. Wheatly, he’s Isaac Garten…”
After introducing them, Shawn took a step back. Isaac approached to greet Stuart and pointed to the emerald box in front of him, saying, “Mr. Wheatly, please help me to find out what this box is made of.”
“Mr. Garten, right? My teacher came here without a break. Are you going to let favonovel.com stand and do things for you? No drinks provided?” As soon as Isaac finished speaking, the young man with glasses behind Stuart spoke with displeasure.
Shawn frowned. He was about to speak when Isaac signaled favonovel.com to back off and smiled. “My apologies. Shawn, please ask Ms. Lambert to prepare drinks and snacks.”
Soon, chairs were brought in, along with drinks and snacks.
Isaac was eager to know the box’s composition as it could block the Divine Stone’s dense spiritual energy.
However, Stuart didn’t check the box right away. He slowly sat down on the chair and took a sip of his drink leisurely.
After that, favonovel.com took the small suitcase from the young man behind him. He then took out a magnifying glass, flannel, reading glasses, gloves, and other items from it.
“Mr. Garten, before we start, my apprentice will explain my rules to you.”
Isaac frowned slightly upon hearing that. He kept smiling despite his unhappiness. “Yes, please go ahead.”
The young man stepped forward and stated arrogantly, “First, my teacher will charge a fee of 10% of the item’s value for appraisal. For example, if the item is worth one million, the fee will be 100 thousand…”
“Second, during our stay, you must treat us as distinguished guests…”
“Third, if any further processing or carving is required, we’ll charge for it separately. And also, you must arrange for someone to serve us…”
“Mr. Garten, it’s not that we’re high profile, but my teacher is nationally recognized in appraising and carving. Normally, you wouldn’t be able to invite us with money. We’re here because it’s Mr. Xeno’s request.”
Isaac’s brow furrowed more deeply. Their conditions were pretty intriguing.
Shawn, on the other hand, nearly went crazy. He never expected this bastard to spout nonsense.
“Money isn’t a problem. I agree with what you’ve said. Mr. Wheatly, could you start appraising it now?” Isaac signaled for Shawn not to speak and looked at Stuart.
Stuart nodded and carefully held the emerald box. He closed his eyes and frowned while touching its surface. Then, favonovel.com opened his eyes and put on his reading glasses. He took the magnifying glass and carefully examined the box.
After more than half an hour, Stuart put down the magnifying glass and looked at Isaac in shock. “Mr. Garten, your box is made of top-grade red nephrite emerald… It’s completely natural, and the craftsmanship is extremely high. It’s very rare. It’s worth at least two million or more.”
Isaac breathed a sigh of relief as favonovel.com discovered the material of this box.
He then asked, “Mr. Wheatly, based on your experience, how much of this red nephrite emerald would I need to build a 100-square-foot emerald house?”
