110: Gift of friendship

Ronald subconsciously stood up to retort.

"How is this possible? How could caesars armor appear in this ragged suitcase?"

"I think you're just afraid of losing the competition and are making up lies! You're utterly shameless and despicable, unworthy of being a Treasure Hunter!"

Ronald was furious, pointing aggressively at Qin Yun as he questioned him.

In his view, Qin Yun was just stalling for time.

How could that armor possibly belong to Caesar?

That cunning kid must have picked the most famous name from Ancient Rome and pinned the armor's origin on Caesar.

The people present also believed the armor definitely wasn't Caesar's.

Caesar's reputation was far too great.

The two suitcases likely belonged to the same person; while that Golden Gladiator was decent, it couldn't compare to even one percent of Caesar!

"Qin Yun must be talking nonsense!"

"Even if God Himself appeared before me, I wouldn't believe this armor belongs to Caesar!"

"Exactly, Qin Yun didn't even look closely, so how could he know who the owner is?"

"The Experts on stage can't even tell, so what does a greenhorn like Qin Yun know about antiques?"

"Even if Arnold's loss is unfair, Qin Yun shouldn't lie like this."

...On stage, an elderly Expert slapped his forehead as something suddenly occurred to him.

"It's real, it's real! This armor truly is caesars armor."

He kept muttering to himself, his hand gently stroking the armor while his eyes remained fixed on the patterns.

Seeing the commotion below the stage, the Expert reluctantly looked away and walked to the microphone.

"Qin Yun is right. This is indeed armor forged for Caesar. It's truly shameful that we Experts can't even compare to Qin Yun, who hasn't even stepped onto the stage."

"There's an inscription for Caesar and a bison emblem on it. I previously thought it was carved to commemorate him, but after hearing Qin Yun's reminder, I realized the bison is the emblem of the Masefield Family. They were contemporaries of Caesar, and historical records show their family forged armor for him."

"As for why this armor lacks Caesar's unique markings and signs of use, it's because Caesar was assassinated before he could set out on his campaign."

"Whether this armor ever reached Caesar's hands, I don't know, but it is still incredibly precious, worth at least five million."

Hearing the old Expert's words, everyone at the scene was stunned.

Qin Yun was telling the truth!

This armor really belonged to Caesar!

As for the five million...

The Tycoons present didn't think much of it.

As long as it truly belonged to Caesar, they wouldn't hesitate to pay ten million for it!

"What kind of luck is this? caesars armor actually appeared here!"

"In the Imperial Museum or the New York Museum, this armor could be a centerpiece!"

"It's a bit of a pity Caesar never used it. If it were armor he had worn while conquering other nations, it would be worth at least a hundred million dollars!"

"Holy crap! How could there be such a significant treasure in this warehouse!"

"Even if the origins of the antiques in the first suitcase can't be identified, being found alongside this armor doubles their value at least!"

"I was wondering why Qin Yun and Arnold looked so calm; it turns out they were absolutely certain of victory!"

"What's there to compare? Some lousy Middle Eastern prince can't even compare to one of Caesar's leg hairs!"

In this contest, Arnold's victory is beyond doubt!"

...Everyone was full of praise as they discussed Caesar's armor.

They had even forgotten to take photos.

It wasn't until a flash went off on stage that everyone snapped out of it.

Casting aside their restraint, they rushed to the stage to take pictures.

The two people holding the armor now felt as if it weighed a thousand pounds.

This was caesars armor.

If it fell to the ground and got even a tiny scratch...

They couldn't afford to pay for it even if they were sold!

The auction company hadn't expected this situation.

The Staff Members backstage quickly called for security.

They couldn't take responsibility for a treasure of this magnitude.

Even if they could pay for it, they would be torn apart by netizens!

Fortunately, those invited to the auction were all prominent figures.

Although they were frantic, they didn't overstep any boundaries.

Everyone stayed below the stage to take photos; no one stepped onto it.

The people at Ronald's table looked as pale as death.

They hadn't expected such a reversal in this contest.

Even caesars armor had made an appearance.

This wasn't even on the same level; how could they possibly compete?

Ronald had lost completely.

Of everyone present, Ronald felt the most aggrieved.

He originally had a great chance of winning.

How could such a monstrous warehouse appear?

And it was even bought by Qin Yun!

The Experts couldn't identify its origin, yet that kid Qin Yun could!

No matter how eloquently he spoke now, not a single person would support him.

The people at Ronald's table were very depressed.

They had wanted to suck up to this future General Manager.

They didn't expect to miss the chance to see caesars armor up close.

Furthermore, they had offended the future General Manager, Arnold.

They feared that if they went to look, they would mortally offend the petty Ronald.

That would leave them with no future in the company!

They could only sit in their seats, feeling dejected.

Arnold looked absolutely thrilled!

He knew he would win.

But he never imagined winning the contest in such an exaggerated fashion.

With the Experts unable to identify the armor, Qin Yun, standing below the stage, was able to reveal its identity as Caesar's in a single sentence.

This level of judgment was unmatched.

He truly lived up to his reputation as a legendary figure among Treasure Hunters!

"Thank you, Qin Yun. Participating in this Warehouse Auction with you has been the most exciting experience of my life."

"With your help, I was able to win this contest. I will repay you well."

Arnold said excitedly as he looked at Qin Yun.

The company had organized many internal auctions.

But none could match the excitement of this one!

The prestige brought by caesars armor would be a huge help to his bid for General Manager.

"It's nothing; it's what I should do!"

"You helped me so much at the last auction and even provided the funds for me to win the warehouse with the nine dragons precious sword. I will always remember this kindness."

Qin Yun smiled faintly and replied.

In his mind, it was just caesars armor.

It couldn't compare to the nine dragons precious sword in his possession!

Even the armor Caesar wore on campaign wouldn't be worth one ten-thousandth of the nine dragons precious sword.

The nine dragons precious sword is a legendary treasure that holds a prominent place in the history of the Xia Country.

How could a mere suit of armor compare?

Julia was also stunned.

This was caesars armor.

If Qin Yun hadn't been the one who bought it, she would have wanted to go up and take a photo with it.

Julia planned to ask Arnold after the auction ended.

She wanted to take a photo with the Emperor Yongle's armor.

After a full hour, the people at the auction finally returned to their seats in high spirits.

They were busy posting pictures of caesars armor on their personal accounts.

These celebrities already had many followers.

The news immediately set the internet ablaze.

Everyone wanted to get a glimpse of caesars armor.

Without any suspense, Arnold secured the final victory in this competition.

When the Host announced the result, everyone burst into warm applause.

Arnold was even unanimously invited to the stage to give a speech.

As for Ronald, everyone had long since forgotten about him.

Arnold walked to the microphone and gave a smiling bow to the audience.

"I'm very happy to meet everyone here today. My victory is all thanks to Qin Yun, so I've decided..."

"...to give everything in the warehouse to Qin Yun!"
