00:00Hi guys, Kevin here!

00:10Kevin, do you have any idea what you're talking about?
00:14After all, Ms. Anderson is an expert!
00:17Lily said somewhat awkwardly.
00:19She knew very well that the Anderson family had a lot of experience in the antique business
00:24and that Phoebe had an excellent reputation in the Chicago area as an appraiser.
00:29However, what happened next shocked everyone.
00:32Phoebe said very calmly,
00:34I trust in Kevin's ability.
00:36He definitely wouldn't steer me wrong on something like this.
00:40Hearing this, Lily was instantly stunned.
00:43She'd been with Kevin for three years and had no idea that he knew how to appraise antiques.
00:48Why would Phoebe, who came from such a distinguished family, trust him so much?
00:53Kevin looked down at the bracelet in his hand and said,
00:56Has everyone here heard of the jewelry that was found in King Tut's tomb?
01:01They all nodded as they listened to hear what Kevin would say next.
01:05Well, there were many other artifacts found in countless other Egyptian tombs around the
01:10same time.
01:11I believe that this bracelet was made by a master artisan based on a lost bracelet from
01:17one of those excavations.
01:19The original bracelet was intended to give the wearer fertility and immortality.
01:26That's why it was left with the deceased in the tomb for the afterlife.
01:30I've only seen sketches of the original, but I believe that this reproduction was made
01:35with the same intent and the same materials.
01:39Together with the original bracelet, the pair of them would be worth quite a bit more, perhaps
01:44as much as $3 million.
01:48When the onlookers heard this, they immediately started to chatter.
01:52The people who had mocked Kevin earlier felt very awkward.
01:55Lily also felt rather awkward.
01:57She couldn't help but wonder why Phoebe trusted him so much while she, his wife, had questioned
02:02his ability.
02:04She stared blankly at Kevin and suddenly felt that she had never really understood him.
02:09Okay, transfer $25,000 to this gentleman, Phoebe said excitedly.
02:15One of her employees immediately transferred the money to the routing number he'd given
02:19them.
02:20Who said I only want $25,000?
02:22The man suddenly said, I want $1 million for the bracelet.
02:27You still owe me $975,000.
02:30Sir, how can you do this?
02:32I've already transferred the money to you and our transaction is complete, Phoebe said
02:37very unhappily.
02:38Didn't you hear what he said?
02:40The two bracelets together could be worth at least $3 million, the man greedily said.
02:45Even though there's only one now, it's got to be worth at least a million.
02:49Everyone started berating the man for going back on his word after agreeing on a price.
02:54The man didn't care what they thought and said, my price is $1 million.
02:58If you don't want to pay that, then the deal is off.
03:02Phoebe was getting more and more upset.
03:04From what Kevin had said, the bracelet would only have more value if it were paired with
03:08the original, which had been lost a hundred years ago.
03:12By itself, it was just a curiosity.
03:15In that case, have our money transferred back to our account and leave our store immediately,
03:21Phoebe said coldly.
03:22She would rather not earn any money at all than put up with this nonsense.
03:27I have a rule when I'm doing business.
03:30Once the money is in my pocket, I never take it out again, the man said very arrogantly.
03:36He had an evil smile on his face and was clearly making things difficult for Phoebe.
03:41The crowd of antique dealers and other onlookers were exasperated by this man's behavior.
03:47How could he refuse to return the money if the sale was off?
03:51Shouldn't he be arrested for this?
03:53Phoebe gave in to her anger and turned to the store's guards.
03:57Security, arrest him, she said loudly.
04:00Kevin didn't expect something like this to happen.
04:03With a sullen look on his face, he walked over to the man and grabbed his shoulder.
04:07Let me go, he yelled.
04:09Do you know who I am?
04:10I'm Reuben Cook.
04:12Maybe you've heard of my cousin Drake Cook.
04:15He pushed at Kevin to break free but failed.
04:18As he struggled, some fruit fell out of his backpack.
04:22What the heck is this?
04:23Kevin said when he saw the fruit.
04:26Do you think you can bully me just because there are so many of you?
04:30Reuben said brazenly.
04:31If anyone lays a hand on me, I'll call my cousin.
04:35If you're not careful, he'll come down here and tear this place apart.
04:39He said confidently.
04:41The room was silent as everyone wondered what would happen next.
04:45I don't care who owns this place.
04:47You need to play by my rules, Reuben griped.
04:50You're nothing compared to Drake.
04:53Get him out of here, Phoebe said angrily.
04:56How dare you touch me?
04:58Reuben yelled as he finally broke free from Kevin's grip and took a step back.
05:03He quickly took out his phone and tapped on one of his contacts.
05:07While the call was connecting, he said to them, you're in deep shit now.
05:12Drake, I'm surrounded, Reuben said frantically.
05:16Send someone down to Anderson Antiques to save me.
05:20Everyone could hear Drake's deep voice as he asked, what have you done this time?
05:26The onlookers got nervous when they realized that Reuben was asking someone like Drake
05:30for help.
05:31What a mess they were in.
05:33Some of them were already making a move for the door.
05:37Nobody's leaving.
05:38You're all screwed now, Reuben said arrogantly.
05:42Reuben exaggerated everything and tried to make himself look like a victim.
05:46Drake, I came here to sell two antiques, but now everyone has me surrounded and they want
05:51me to pay them before they'll let me leave.
05:54I'll be right there.
05:56Everyone could hear Drake's shout over the phone.
05:58I want to see who has the cojones to try something like this.
06:03As it turns out, Drake had asked his cousin Reuben to take the bust and the bracelet to
06:07Anderson's Antiques to have them appraised.
06:10If he liked the price, he was prepared to sell them.
06:13Reuben ended the call and warned Phoebe.
06:15If you have any sense, you'll give me the full million dollars.
06:18Unlike me, Drake has a nasty temper.
06:22Phoebe was so furious that she couldn't speak.
06:25Everyone started to encourage her to accept the deal to make Reuben go away.
06:29Some of them even blamed Kevin for putting them in this predicament.
06:33But nobody was willing to ask Reuben to return the store's money.
06:37They all started glaring at Kevin.
06:39If he hadn't said that the bracelet could be worth a lot more, Reuben wouldn't be demanding
06:43a million dollars now.
06:45Phoebe didn't know what to do.
06:47$25,000 wasn't much money for the store, but this kind of behavior was intolerable.
06:53After a few minutes, a couple of black SUVs screeched to a halt in front of the store's
06:58entrance.
06:59Drake rushed into the room, followed by his bodyguards.
07:02Who's been bullying my cousin?
07:05Drake roared.
07:06Aside from Kevin, everyone else in the room was trembling with fear.
07:10Reuben quickly ran over to Drake and pointed at the crowd.
07:13They said they'd have me arrested if I didn't sell the bust and the bracelet to them.
07:18How could this be?
07:19Drake asked sternly.
07:20Who's in charge here?
07:23Phoebe's face turned pale.
07:25Just as she was about to face Drake, Kevin put his hand on her shoulder and took a step
07:29forward.
07:30Drake, it isn't him, it's that woman, Reuben said as he pointed at Phoebe.
07:36But Drake didn't answer him.
07:38He stared blankly at Kevin and his expression turned from anger to confusion to fear.
07:45Drake, you got a lot of guts bringing your men in here to cause trouble, Kevin said without
07:50flinching.
07:51As soon as he said this, everyone started to panic, especially the ones who knew Kevin.
07:56They didn't want to get drawn into one of his fights.
07:59Reuben snarled at Kevin.
08:01Don't think you're so great just because you bought some of my stuff.
08:05Before Reuben could say anything else, Drake gave him a backhand to the face.
08:10Why did you hit me?
08:12Reuben said in shock.
08:13You're embarrassing me.
08:15Drake scolded him as he pushed his cousin aside.
08:18I'll deal with you later.
08:20Then Drake took a deep breath.
08:23Phoebe bit her lip nervously when she saw Drake walking towards Kevin.
08:27Whatever would happen next shocked everyone in the room.
08:31Drake apologized politely to Kevin.
08:33I'm sorry, Mr. Williams.
08:35I had no idea this would happen.
08:37My cousin can get carried away sometimes.
08:40They were all wondering how Drake knew Kevin.
08:42Not only that, he just apologized instead of wiping the floor with him.
08:47So did you send this jackass over here?
08:51Kevin asked in a menacing tone.
08:53This definitely had an effect on Drake and it showed in his expression.
08:58He turned around and shouted at his cousin.
09:01Get over here, you son of a bitch.
09:03Reuben walked over to him, covering his face to try and protect himself from another powerful
09:07slap.
09:09Hurry up and apologize to Mr. Williams, Drake said as he pulled Reuben by the ear and made
09:14him stand in front of Kevin.
09:17I'm sorry, Mr. Williams.
09:18I was wrong to do that, he stammered.
09:21Kevin glared at Reuben and then turned his eyes to Drake.
09:24Drake, did you really send your cousin in here to strong arm the Andersons and take
09:29their money?
09:30Kevin asked with a steely look in his eyes.
09:33He just told us that you were coming here to tear this place apart.
09:38Mr. Williams, this is just a big misunderstanding.
09:41Drake was on the verge of tears.
09:43Misunderstanding?
09:44I'm the one who appraised those two antiques.
09:47Are you saying there's something wrong with my judgment?
09:50Do you want President Anderson to throw me out of here?
09:54Kevin asked gruffly.
09:55Seriously, Mr. Williams, I didn't expect things to turn out like this, Drake replied with
09:59an awkward smile.
10:01Nobody could believe they were watching this.
10:04Seeing that Kevin hadn't accepted his apology, Drake gritted his teeth and slapped Reuben
10:08again.
10:09Look at the trouble you've gotten me into, he yelled.
10:13Mr. Williams, is there anything I can do to make you accept my apology?
10:16Drake pleaded.
10:17You shouldn't apologize to me.
10:20This is President Anderson's story and your cousin has caused her a lot of trouble today.
10:24You really should be apologizing to her.
10:28Before Kevin had finished speaking, Drake had walked over to stand in front of Phoebe.
10:32What was he going to do next?
