Chapter 43 A Gift for You

Hearing the sound, everyone looked over.

They saw the emerald jade transform into a round sphere, with dozens of intricately carved peony buds on its surface. The craftsmanship was exquisite, lifelike, and vivid.

"Can he really carve?"

Everyone was astonished.

Violet and Sarah's eyes widened; they never expected him to have such skill!

Xavier looked on in disbelief.

Kyle sneered, took a step forward, and said with disdain, "You dare to show off this trashy carving? This might fool laymen, but to experts, it's just junk. Carving flowers is the most basic skill; something for apprentices! Anyone from Treasure Pavilion could carve better than you by a thousand times."

"You're really acting all hat and no cattle!"

Other apprentices also showed disdain; they indeed knew how to carve flowers.

The surrounding people suddenly realized that despite thinking his carving was good, it turned out to be a basic one.

The light in Violet's eyes quickly faded.

"Shut up!"

At this moment, Nathan suddenly spoke, gritting his teeth. "Don't embarrass yourself. Stop speak nonsense if you don't understand, you're ruining my reputation!"

Kyle was stunned and exclaimed, "Mr. Smith?"

He thought, 'Why is Mr. Smith saying this? Carving flowers is the most basic skill; I'm not wrong.'

Nathan ignored him and approached Fergus, his eyes shining as he looked at the jade. His whole body started trembling, no longer angry but cautiously said, "Mr. Yost, may I take a look?"

Everyone around was surprised. What was wrong with Nathan?

Fergus smiled faintly, "It seems you're not completely blind."

He handed it over casually.

Nathan received it as if it were a treasure, holding it with trembling hands, "This is a Jade Blossom Rotasphere, a Jade Blossom Rotasphere!"

"I never thought I would see one in my lifetime. I could die happy now!"

When he finished speaking, everyone was even more confused. What was a Jade Blossom Rotasphere?

"Nathan, what does Jade Blossom Rotasphere mean?"

"Yeah, isn't it just a few carved flowers? What's so special about it?"

"It's far inferior to your Parthenon!"

The surrounding people chimed in.

Nathan's face turned cold, saying deeply, "Everyone, don't speak nonsense. My Parthenon is indeed trash compared to the Jade Blossom Rotasphere; not worth mentioning!"

As he spoke, he turned the Jade Blossom Rotasphere around, "This Jade Blossom Rotasphere has another layer that can rotate freely, and the inner layer is also carved with petals!"

"What is divine craftsmanship? It represents the highest level of carving."

"My proudest work, Parthenon, is only surface carving, while Mr. Yost's work is internal carving. Mr. Yost is more professional than me!"

Boom!

A thunderous shock hit everyone's minds and thought, 'Another layer inside? How is that possible?'

Indeed, it was divine craftsmanship!

"Mr. Smith!"

Kyle's face darkened. He was very displeased to see everyone looking at Fergus with admiration and said disdainfully, "It's just a Jade Blossom Rotasphere, not something rare. His has only two layers. Nowadays, they can carve up to sixty-six layers. This is child's play!"

Indeed, the Jade Blossom Rotasphere initially could reach three layers, while the last dynasty could reach twenty-four. Now, and now it can reach sixty-six layers. Comparatively, two layers are not much.

Slap!

Nathan slapped him backhanded, angrily saying, "You fool! What is the raw material for sixty-six layers? It's ivory! How is the texture of ivory compared to jade? Even a hundred layers of ivory are not special!"

"However, a single layer of jade is unprecedented!"

"He deserves to be called Mr. Yost!"

Kyle's face swelled rapidly from the slap, and he remained silent.

At this moment, everyone looked at Fergus as if he were a deity.

Violet looked at Fergus, smiling with shining eyes.

Fergus casually took back the Jade Blossom Rotasphere. This kind of thing was simple for him, as long as he controlled the force properly.

He said indifferently, "Since you admit your carvings are trash, do you have a problem with me taking your sign?"

Nathan reluctantly looked at the Jade Blossom Rotasphere and shook his head. "No, the difference between Mr. Yost and me is like night and day. It's my honor for you to take my sign. I dare not complain!"

Being outclassed and then getting angry would be even more embarrassing.

The surrounding people also fell silent, feeling it was reasonable!

Fergus continued, "You have no complaints, but I do. Mrs. Copper only vented her anger, but hasn't received justice. Apologize and compensate, or I'll burn down Treasure Pavilion."

"You dare!"

Kyle panicked. Previously, Fergus's words didn't matter, but now it was completely different.

"Shut up!"

Nathan slowly looked at Kyle and said deeply, "I believe Mr. Yost is not making empty threats. Kyle, I'll ask you one last time, is what Mrs. Copper said true or not?"

As he spoke, Nathan's aura exploded, staring intently at Kyle.

Kyle broke into a cold sweat, almost blurting out the truth, before stubbornly saying, "It's false. How could I be interested in her!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fergus stepped forward, reached into Kyle's pocket, and casually took out a piece of ebony. Though not as valuable as emerald, it was still a rare item.

"This is mine, this is mine!" Mary shouted excitedly, "It's a family heirloom!"

Seeing the ebony, Kyle panicked and fell to his knees, saying, "Mr. Smith, I was wrong and momentarily confused. I won't dare again. Please forgive me."

"You..." Nathan staggered and coughed twice. He had taught Kyle in person and thought he knew him well. He had always trusted him unconditionally, never imagining he could do such a thing.

He turned his head. "From this moment, you are expelled from Treasure Pavilion. Mr. Yost, he is yours to deal with!"

He then bowed to Mary. "My apprentice's mistake is my mistake. I am ashamed and willing to take full responsibility."

Mary, comforted, burst into tears.

"Master!" Kyle was dumbfounded. Being expelled from Treasure Pavilion meant no one in the carving world would want him. His life was over.

Fergus said indifferently, "You just told Xavier to deal with her. Now, let Xavier deal with you."

"Yes!" Xavier dragged Kyle away like a dead dog.

The matter was resolved, and Fergus was ready to leave.

"Wait!"

Nathan called out, walking up to Fergus and saying awkwardly, "Mr. Yost, wait. I am willing to exchange everything for your Jade Blossom Rotasphere to admire and study. Please grant my wish!"

"Everything?"

The surrounding people were in an uproar. Nathan had been in the carving world for many years, worth not just millions but probably billions of dollars!

Sarah was also stunned, her eyes wide. 'Nathan is willing to exchange this with all fortune?'

Violet thought for a moment and said, "Fergus, since Nathan likes it, why not grant his wish?"

She blinked as she spoke, thinking it wouldn't only be a kind gesture but also help mend relationships, given Nathan's extensive connections.

Fergus raised an eyebrow. "No amount of money could make me give it to him. This is for you!"

As he spoke, he squeezed a little and shattered the Jade Blossom Rotasphere, revealing a small cross among the fragments.

He smiled again, "This is for you. Wear it for protection."
