I Spy With My Secret Eyes

Chapter 144

In the third small box was a clear glass bottle full of liquid.

The glass bottle was tightly sealed so that no odor could be smelled.

There was also no signage on the bottle.

Clearly, this round was about identifying the liquid but not the bottle.

Levi pointed to the bottle and said, “This round is to identify what’s in the bottle.””

Will and Jenifer felt rather upset. The liquid in the glass bottle looked like a colorless bottle of mineral water.

But since it was Levi’s treasure and one of the ten items that Oliver was required to identify, it couldn’t be something ordinary or easy to identify.

Oliver stared at the glass bottle, and a few seconds later, an identification message appeared in his mind:

[Brewed and packed on March 21, 1989, it is a 32-year-old high-quality Red Lady with 52% alcohol content.] Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

[Craftsmanship: Excellent.]

[Value assessment: 52,000 dollars.]

Noticing that Oliver was staring at the bottle in a daze, Levi laughed smugly and said, “Brat, what are you waiting for? If you don’t come up with an answer in five minutes, you will lose!”

Oliver raised his head and smiled strangely at him, “Five minutes is too much. I can give you the answer right now. It is a bottle of Red Lady with 52% alcohol content, brewed and packed in 1989. Hitherto, it is 32 years old. As for its value, I assume it is about 40,000 dollars. Unfortunately, I see no brand label on this bottle. If it were the Long Expedition, the most famous liquor in Clusia, its value would be much bigger!”

Immersed in the fantasy that Oliver was going to lose, Levi was busy laughing. He never thought Oliver would give him the answer. So, when that really happened, the smile froze on Levi’s face.

Again, Jenifer couldn’t help but rush to take the note out of the box and read the answer:

A bottle of 32-year-old Red Lady that has 52% alcohol content and was brewed in Riverside in 1989.

“Yeah! He’s right again!”

Jenifer yelled with her smile as beautiful as flowers and his eyes as bright as stars.

Although Oliver didn’t promise her anything, she just felt proud of him. The man she liked was really extraordinary! Neither could Oliver open the bottle or smell any odor given off by the rice wine. And it was impossible for Oliver to conduct a chemical test on the liquid in that bottle. All that he was allowed to do was observation.

The right answer somewhat reflected Oliver’s impressive identification skills.

A wine bibber might still find it difficult to tell what kind of wine it was even if he had a chance to taste it. Yet Oliver spoke out the right answer without either smelling it or tasting it. He merely observed the liquid with a layer of glass between them. And he could even know the age and alcohol content of this wine. What did it mean?

Levi looked dumbfounded. It took a long time for him to wake up. Shaking his head in disbelief, he said: “You … You cheated, didn’t you? How is it possible that you can tell?”

But when it came to “cheating”, Levi himself felt that it was also impossible.

Because he asked his men to bring those items directly from his house. Even his family didn’t know the exact names of these things. It could be said that only he knew it best.

It was impossible for Oliver to have an insider or to cheat. “Yet why could he guess so accurately?” Levis wondered. With his head full of doubts, Levi just could not tell what went wrong.

There were still seven boxes left, but suddenly, Levi felt flustered. Oliver was so incredible. The thought that Oliver might guess all seven items correctly jumped into Levi’s head from nowhere. “Am I going to lose?” thought Levi.

At the thought of losing, he even denied this thought instantly. “I will not lose, and can’t lose!” murmured Levi in his mind.

For him, it was but a small matter to lose these items he collected for years. After all, they are Levi’s private objects. What he couldn’t afford to lose was the 10 million bet, which included 6 million from his family company’s funds.

If he lost the money, his project would not start. Then his old man would know this. No one in the company could afford 6 million dollars, therefore, no one dared to bear it for him. The whole thing would come to his old man’s notice eventually.

Once the old man learned about this, Levi knew that half of his career would be ruined. The life to come might be quite harsh for him!

10 million dollars!

Suddenly, Levi felt quite uneasy, feeling that his confidence was kind of weakened!

There are seven items left.

What Levi was worried about finally became true because of Oliver.

The fourth item was a seal carved with the word “kill” in the ancient white shark tusk fossil.

The fifth item was a blessed superb sandalwood bracelet.

The sixth item was…

The seventh item was…

The eighth item was…

The ninth item was…

Oliver named the left items correctly one by one. Even if Levi wanted to deny the answers, those names that he wrote on the notes in the boxes made it impossible.

There was still one item left, but Levi didn’t have even one ounce of confidence. However rare the item was, he felt that Oliver would identify it anyway.

Will and Jenifer were even more surprised. They didn’t expect Oliver to be so amazing. Before this gamble, they hadn’t really seen Oliver’s superior identification skills in Forest Blackwood’s wood processing factory. Only later when Oliver processed the wood did they know that he won the bet.

The gamble tonight became a live show of Oliver’s extraordinary abilities.

For Will and Jenifer, they couldn’t identify these things even if they guessed wildly. Those items were so strange that they had never seen or heard of them. How could they identify them?

And the last box.

Levi had lost all confidence. He stared at Oliver in depression.

Instead of saying too much, Oliver reached out his hands to open the last box.

There was a rusty yet sharp metal-made horn inside the box. That was all. That item was so rusty that it couldn’t be seen in its original shape. There was nothing else. How was Oliver going to identify it?

It was not an artifact.

Oliver stared at the rusty, finger-sized piece of metal-made horn for a moment and then looked up at Levi.

Although Levi had no confidence at all, he still unconsciously hoped that Oliver couldn’t identify it.

But he didn’t see confusion and panic in Oliver’s eyes. What he saw was the deep void!

“Was the last challenge difficult enough for Oliver?” thought Levi.

He almost secretly prayed for the Mighty Lord to help him defeat Oliver.

But Oliver looked at him with a weird smile. He then said, “This item is an arrowhead used by Steven Brand, an ancient general serving Emperor Charlie, the Conqueror. A poet named Luke Lawrence once composed a poem to describe the story of General Brand and this arrowhead, in which the general found a tiger in the woods at night. Then he took his bow and shot that tiger with this very arrow. The next day, the general came to check his prey only to find an arrow stuck into a rock. He then tried to shoot other arrows into the rock but failed. That’s why the first arrow is so famous. To memorize this

event, the descendants kept this arrowhead carefully. With time passing by, the body of this arrow has already decayed, with the head rusted. Am I telling its history correctly?”

Among what Oliver said, the last one was threw right in Levi’s face.

Levi opened his mouth, having no idea what to say!

Jenifer didn’t waste time on talking. She took the noté out of the box, on which it was written: The arrowhead of General Steven Brand.
