\u201cAlright, I\u2019ll take the wheel.\u201d<\/p>\n

The couple made their way to Antique Street together.<\/p>\n

Being the weekend, Antique Street was bustling with visitors.<\/p>\n

Zachary had long established his stall there, securing a permanent booth on the street. Charlie could easily spot him as soon as he entered the area.<\/p>\n

At that moment, Zachary was proudly showcasing a fake jade pendant to a foreign couple. \u201cLet me tell you, this jade pendant was once worn by an emperor of the Ming Dynasty. It was passed down through generations until it finally came into my possession\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIs it really that valuable?\u201d the middle-aged man inquired, his eyebrows raised. \u201cWhat\u2019s the asking price for this jade pendant?\u201d<\/p>\n

Zachary flashed a grin and responded, \u201cSince fate has brought us together today, I can let this jade pendant go for just one hundred eighty thousand dollars. Once you leave Antique Street, you could sell it at an auction house for at least one million eight hundred thousand dollars!\u201d<\/p>\n

The woman rolled her eyes and retorted, \u201cIf you can sell it for ten times that amount outside of here, why haven\u2019t you done it yourself? Do you think we\u2019re gullible? Come on, dear! Let\u2019s get out of here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Fuming, Zachary muttered under his breath, \u201cDamn it! When did these foreign tourists get so savvy?\u201d<\/p>\n

Charlie, witnessing the exchange, couldn\u2019t help but smile as he approached Zachary. \u201cSo, Zachary, are you still trying to pull a fast one on your customers?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh!\u201d Zachary exclaimed, spotting Charlie. He quickly bowed and greeted him, \u201cMr. Wade, what brings you here today?\u201d<\/p>\n

After acknowledging Charlie, Zachary noticed Claire standing beside him. \u201cAh! This must be your wife, Mr. Wade. She\u2019s absolutely stunning!\u201d<\/p>\n

Charlie waved off the compliment, saying, \u201cCut the flattery! I came here because I heard you wanted to pay my father-in-law three hundred thousand dollars for a pen holder?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, yes, yes!\u201d Zachary eagerly nodded. \u201cYour father-in-law is truly remarkable to have discovered such a rare treasure! That pen holder is worth at least three to four hundred thousand dollars! He\u2019s incredible!\u201d<\/p>\n

Charlie then pulled Zachary aside and whispered, \u201cZachary, stop joking around. Everyone on Antique Street can see that this pen holder is a fake. The only one who doesn\u2019t seem to know that is my father-in-law. Now, tell me why you\u2019re willing to pay three hundred thousand dollars for a fake pen holder. Be honest.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zachary quickly replied, \u201cMr. Wade, I wanted to show my respect for you. Not too long ago, your father came to me with two miraculous pills, and after selling them, I made at least two million dollars. The more I thought about it, the more guilty I felt. It wouldn\u2019t be right for me to keep all that money when you were the one who created the pills, right?\u201d<\/p>\n

Zachary continued with a smile, \u201cThat\u2019s why I thought of another way to share the profits with you. I know money isn\u2019t a big deal for you, so I figured I could share the profits through your father-in-law instead.\u201d<\/p>\n

Charlie scoffed, \u201cYes, Zachary. You took the miraculous pills from my father-in-law and only paid him a few hundred thousand dollars while making millions. Do you really think you can make amends by offering me three hundred thousand dollars for a pen holder?\u201d<\/p>\n

Shaking in fear, Zachary stammered, \u201cMr. Wade, please forgive me! If you\u2019re not satisfied, I\u2019ll give you all that money. I don\u2019t want anything else; I just want your friendship.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zachary was acutely aware that provoking Charlie would be a grave mistake. Charlie was a powerful man with connections to many influential and wealthy individuals in Aurous Hill. He was regarded as the greatest master of metaphysics after having confronted and defeated several masters from Hong Kong. Zachary only wanted to win Charlie\u2019s favor.<\/p>\n

Charlie glanced at Zachary and said, \u201cForget it. My father-in-law doesn\u2019t understand the value of the pen holder and feels he\u2019s gotten a good deal when you paid him five hundred thousand for the pills. Let\u2019s leave it at that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then Charlie added, \u201cHowever, I hope you won\u2019t hesitate to assist me if I need your help in the future. Do you understand?\u201d<\/p>\n

Zachary beamed, replying, \u201cDon\u2019t worry, Mr. Wade. From now on, I\u2019ll do whatever you need!\u201d<\/p>\n
