Chapter 1273
Could the young man have created new heights with his martial arts and already risen among the best of Draconia?!
Tet was shocked by his own hunch, especially by the half-millimeter crack Frank mentioned.
No average Joe could have peered into it and would struggle even with a magnifying glass!
"Grafting, huh..." Tet murmured as he beckoned at his apprentice to bring a high magnification magnifying glass.
On the stage, Hugh started to panic a little as he saw Tet about to appraise his vase again.
Frank might be his enemy and Sif Lionheart's murderer, but Hugh still had to admit that Frank was skilled when it came to appraisal.
He already proved himself back at Jade Dragon, noticing flaws that even collectors could not see.
"Bastard..."
At that moment, Hugh realized that Frank must have kept quiet when he bought the vase and waited until he presented it to point out the flaw, just to humiliate him! There was no doubt about it-the man's cunning was sinister!
However, his blame was misplaced.
First of all, when Frank touched his master's essence at Jade Dragon, he was busy repressing the omen of his ascension to scrutinize every item.
As for the pure jade vase's defect, he only noticed it by chance after he ascended.
He certainly could have chosen to be silent-if even an appraiser of Tet's standard could not notice that flaw, none would be the wiser if Frank did not mention it.
It was therefore Hugh's mistake for upsetting Frank and continuously insulting him.
For that, Frank decided to show him, by embarrassing him in front of everyone.
"Don't listen to him, magister," Hugh told Tet right then. "He has a grudge against me, and he's always known for seeking attention. He's stepping forward now just to steal the spotlight-"
"Silence!" Tet snapped at him right then.
Naturally, Hugh kept his mouth shut right then.

branch of the Turnbuet
All he could do was glare spitefully at Frank, while he added another item on the list of grudges he bore against Frank. Meanwhile, after Tet and his apprentices studied the pure jade vase closely, Tet sighed exasperatedly and nodded at Frank. "This young gentleman is right, and I missed it... the pure jade vase is counterfeit."
The hall was left in an uproar right then.
Leaving aside the fact that the pure
jade vase is counterfeit, a man of Tet's standing was deferring to some unknown youth and admitting that he was wrong?!
It was simply unimaginable!
Naturally, only insiders like Tet could see the existence of the defect Frank mentioned, and it was so miniscule that it was negligible.
It was also precisely why Tet was further astonished-he saw where Frank was earlier, a far corner in the hall, away from the crowd.
And from that position, Frank could see what Tet needed a magnifying glass to see.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
That sight was not just outrageous, but it also proved beyond any doubt that Frank was a martial elite.
Tet himself was trained, but he had just reached Transcendent rank himself.
To Frank, he did not even amount to an insect!
