"But... This is my family's heirloom... It's been passed down for generations..." The bald man said.

He really was going to cry!

"I can only say that your ancestors bought a fake antique... But they simply didn't know it... This fake antique was made to look genuine. Even an expert would replace it difficult to see through its flaws... "That's why your ancestors can't be blamed either..." Xavier York said.

At this moment, Xavier's admiration toward Xyla Quest increased yet again...

Although Xyla was young, she was even better than those who have worked in the antique industry for decades that she identified this jade pendant as a fake.

She had a lot going for her!

The bald man didn't say anything. Instead, he kept nodding...

"About that, who made a promise earlier? Didn't he say he'd do something if this were a fake piece?"

"Oh, dear. I think he has to do a handstand here or something, doesn't he? Where is it better to do it? I think he should do it on stage. Isn't that a good idea?"

"Why are you so forgetful? It's not just a handstand. He still has to give Xyla 100 million dollars..."

Somebody below the stage suddenly started to get everyone riled up.

In an instant, the entire world seemed to be requesting the bald man to do a handstand and give Xyla money.

When Xyla saw the completely dumbfounded bald man on stage, she smiled helplessly.

She truly felt speechless on his behalf.

Today, he had become a victim to his own words.

Apart from feeling sorry for people like him, she also felt speechless.

When the bald man heard these things, he instantly felt humiliated.

Suddenly, he felt panicked.

What could he be described as? Was this an act of self-sabotage? Did he dig a hole to bury himself in?

Right then, the people around him were still talking excitedly...

Everyone was waiting for him to make a fool of himself.

Xyla looked blandly at everyone. After that, she stood up calmly...

As soon as she stood up, everyone knew that she was going to say something. They all shut up at the same time.

Suddenly, the entire world became quiet.

"Xyla... I can't fork out 100 million dollars. Whether you want to kill me or skin me alive, do as you wish..." The bald man clenched his fists tightly and looked at Xyla while suppressing all his ego. Heaven knew how much courage was required for him to say something like this.

"You were the one who asked for the bet. Now, you're the one not abiding by its terms. What a man..."

"Where's your arrogance? Weren't you competent?"

"A man should always keep his promises... Don't be fidgety like a girl..."

"That's right. How could you not accept defeat? If you can't accept it, you shouldn't have made a bet!"

Some of the people who enjoyed the spectacle started saying things to get everyone riled up again... However, Xyla wasn't affected by this at all.

Instead, she calmly raised her hand and asked everyone to remain quiet.

Suddenly, Xyla began to emit a strong aura.

Her unignorable presence and pressure caused everyone to shut up...

Everyone held their breaths and focused their gaze on Xyla's face.

"Forget it. You don't have to do it... Let's proceed with the auction..." Xyla said calmly.

With that, she slowly sat down.

This person had already paid for his arrogance and presumptuous demeanor...

Xyla didn't have to make it worse for him.

She believed in forgiving others whenever it was possible to do so.
