As soon as Charlie heard the voice, he turned to locate its origin.<\/p>\n

He spotted a young man in a white linen suit, paired with black cloth shoes, approaching the stall. The young man\u2019s wrists were adorned with an array of bracelets, and on his face sat a pair of antique gold-rimmed glasses, featuring two round black lenses. These glasses resembled those worn by children during the Qing Dynasty in China.<\/p>\n

Trailing behind him were four to five bodyguards. In stark contrast to the young man, these bodyguards exuded a fierce and intimidating presence, compelling those nearby to quickly move aside to avoid any potential trouble.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, it\u2019s Mr. Quinton!\u201d<\/p>\n

The stall owner\u2019s eyes widened in recognition, a beaming smile spreading across his face. As if a tap had been turned on, he began to shower the young man with flattery. \u201cMr. Quinton, why didn\u2019t you inform me beforehand of your visit? I would have come out to greet you!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEnough with the nonsense. I\u2019m just here to browse Antique Street today,\u201d the young man replied, waving his hand dismissively.<\/p>\n

He walked up to Charlie, eyeing the pebble in his hand, then looked up and said, \u201cZachary, please wrap up that pebble for me. I\u2019m buying it. It would make a perfect paperweight for my father\u2019s desk.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis\u2026\u201d The stall owner hesitated, glancing at Charlie, before continuing. \u201cMr. Quinton, I\u2019m afraid this is quite unfortunate, but this gentleman has already purchased the pebble. It really doesn\u2019t hold any significance\u2014it has merely served as a paperweight. I\u2019ve set aside some much finer antiques for you. Why would you want that worthless pebble? You deserve something far more fitting for your status.\u201d<\/p>\n

From this interaction, Charlie learned the stall owner\u2019s name was Zachary, and he clearly had a close relationship with the young man.<\/p>\n

Charlie was also quite impressed by Zachary\u2019s smooth talking skills; he could weave stories effortlessly without a moment\u2019s hesitation.<\/p>\n

Zachary quickly grabbed a jade horse made from hardened plastic and held it out to the young man. \u201cMr. Quinton, this jade horse belonged to one of the late imperial concubines in the palace. Just look at the clarity of the jade\u2014it\u2019s undeniably high quality. I don\u2019t need to elaborate further. Since we\u2019re such good friends, I\u2019ll let you have it for the same price you paid for the celadon cups yesterday! Just nine thousand dollars!\u201d<\/p>\n

Jacob was taken aback to learn that the young man had purchased the same fake celadon cups as he had. The stall owner had already exploited him by selling them for three hundred dollars, while Mr. Quinton had actually paid nine thousand!<\/p>\n

\u201cStop the nonsense and finalize it already!\u201d Mr. Quinton\u2019s patience was wearing thin. He kicked Zachary in the leg and arrogantly declared, \u201cThe only thing I want today is that pebble. Sell it to me for twenty thousand dollars.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zachary was stunned by the offer of twenty thousand dollars. He quickly turned to Charlie and asked, \u201cBrother, would you mind if I sold the pebble to Mr. Quinton instead?\u201d<\/p>\n

Charlie frowned and replied coldly, \u201cI\u2019ve already purchased this pebble, and I have no intention of giving it up.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWho\u2019s asking you to give it up? You haven\u2019t even paid for it yet! That pebble belongs to whoever pays for it!\u201d Mr. Quinton interjected impatiently, pulling a thick wad of cash from his wallet and waving it in front of Zachary.<\/p>\n

\u201cHere, take this. It\u2019s definitely more than twenty thousand dollars. You can keep the change.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zachary\u2019s eyes lit up at the sight of the cash. He quickly took the money from Mr. Quinton and turned to Charlie with a smile. \u201cBrother, I have a better offer for you. I can sell you a paperweight that was used by a king in the past. It\u2019s definitely a superior choice!\u201d<\/p>\n

Charlie smiled and responded, \u201cZachary, you know you can\u2019t break the rules of trade, right? I bought this pebble first, and I\u2019m not interested in giving it up.\u201d<\/p>\n

With no other options, Zachary felt helpless, recognizing that Charlie was unwilling to part with the pebble.<\/p>\n

According to the rules of antique trade, an item belonged to the first customer the seller was serving if that customer expressed intent to purchase. If Zachary broke that rule, he would jeopardize his ability to continue operating on Antique Street.<\/p>\n

Resigned, Zachary turned to Mr. Quinton and lowered his head, saying, \u201cMr. Quinton, it appears we\u2019re at an impasse regarding the pebble. After all, it\u2019s just a trivial paperweight. Why don\u2019t I show you something better from my collection at home\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Before he could finish, Mr. Quinton kicked Zachary in the waist and cursed at him. \u201cWhen have you ever acted so ethically?! I\u2019ve bought so many antiques from you, yet you\u2019re abandoning me for some poor man?\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Quinton glared at Charlie, clearly trying to intimidate him into surrendering the pebble, believing Charlie\u2019s modest attire indicated a lack of wealth or influence.<\/p>\n
