Kapitel 71: Chapter 71 Picking Up New Talents

That day, Alicia woke up early with the sunrise. Lucas drove her to Treasure Trove, which was in the heart of the antique street.

Treasure Trove was an old-fashioned store run by Marlon, who specialized in porcelain, gold, stone, jade, and calligraphy, all things with an east Asian touch. Today was his chosen lucky day, perfect for taking on a new apprentice. For this occasion, he had even invited a witness, Cameron.

Marlon was sitting on the sofa in his office. He stroked his beard and said, "I'm taking you as my apprentice because we connected right away. My family doesn't want to learn it, so it's our destiny that I pass it on to you."

Soon after, Alicia started learning from him. She had a solid foundation, so she caught on quickly. The process of fixing up old ceramics and ancient paintings was similar—both began with cleaning, then moved on to restoration.
