He wiped it clean with his hand and held it up to the sunlight for a closer look. \u201cWhat about this one? It appears to be from Suzhou.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, a row of small characters was etched beneath the bottle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMade by Suzhou Craft Factory.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t read it; I\u2019m illiterate,\u201d the stall owner smirked in response. He then rubbed the sole of his foot against the oil paper, indicating his lack of interest in conducting any business.<\/p>\n<p>This infuriated Jacob, who felt cheated.<\/p>\n<p>Seizing the stall owner by the arm, he shouted, \u201cYou liar! Give me back my money!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat money? I\u2019ve never seen you before!\u201d the stall owner retorted, struggling to break free. In the chaos, a display of fake coins and jade horses tumbled to the ground.<\/p>\n<p>However, when one of the jade horses hit the ground, it didn\u2019t shatter at all! It appeared to be made of some type of hardened plastic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you don\u2019t return my money, I\u2019ll call the police!\u201d Jacob yelled, his anger boiling over.<\/p>\n<p>As they continued to grapple, something slipped from the stall owner\u2019s sleeve.<\/p>\n<p>Charlie frowned upon seeing the object that had fallen.<\/p>\n<p>It turned out to be a fist-sized white pebble, looking like an ordinary stone one might find by a river or beach.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, there was a notable difference: a few words were crudely carved into the pebble\u2014\u201cPeace and Wealth!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The lettering was rough, making it clear that it had been manually inscribed.<\/p>\n<p>Such engraved pebbles were common throughout the city, and they typically held no value, which explained why the stall owner hadn\u2019t displayed it among his other wares.<\/p>\n<p>Charlie approached the pebble and picked it up. Upon contact, he felt a surge of energy coursing through him.<\/p>\n<p>A unique aura emanated from this stone! It felt more like an energetic force, pulling Charlie in with an irresistible magnetism.<\/p>\n<p>He recognized this as the spiritual energy referred to as reiki, a mystical force that had been lost to time. While it might not physically transform someone, it could yield remarkable effects on the human body.<\/p>\n<p>Excited, Charlie weighed the pebble in his hand and then turned to the stall owner, asking calmly, \u201cDoes this belong to you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The stall owner looked taken aback but nodded slightly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow much for this?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jacob, equally surprised, interjected, \u201cWhy would you buy that useless pebble? Don\u2019t you know all his goods are fake?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s just a pebble; buying it might help ward off some negative energy,\u201d Charlie replied with a smile.<\/p>\n<p>Seizing the moment, the stall owner managed to wriggle free from Jacob\u2019s grasp and sneered at Charlie. \u201cAre you genuinely interested in buying the pebble?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, I\u2019d like to purchase it,\u201d Charlie confirmed.<\/p>\n<p>Instantly, the stall owner perked up. \u201cAh, brother, you have an eye for treasures! This may look like an ordinary pebble, but it has quite the extraordinary backstory. It once served as a paperweight in a wealthy lord\u2019s study\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Charlie, growing impatient, interrupted, \u201cI don\u2019t have time for stories. Just tell me the price.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The stall owner grinned and replied, \u201cGiven your exceptional taste, I\u2019ll let it go for\u2026 twenty thousand dollars!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Charlie shot him a disdainful look. \u201cAre you out of your mind? I\u2019ll give you three hundred dollars for it. If you refuse, I\u2019ll call the police for selling imitation goods!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThree hundred dollars?\u201d the owner asked, feigning surprise. \u201cSince you clearly understand the value of antiques, I\u2019ll accept your offer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Charlie smiled and tightened his grip on the pebble.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Jacob was perplexed, unable to fathom why Charlie would want to buy a seemingly worthless pebble. Just as he was about to voice his confusion, another voice chimed in from behind him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat pebble looks perfect! I want to buy it!\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cBoss, I think I might have grabbed the wrong wine bottle when I hurried out of the house today.\u201d \u201cSo, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-739","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-the-amazing-son-in-law-the-charismatic-charlie-wade"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/739","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=739"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/739\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":898,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/739\/revisions\/898"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=739"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=739"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=739"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
