Charlie declined Jasmine\u2019s proposal. \u201cI\u2019m sorry, Miss Moore, but my day has been spoiled by those two annoying flies, so I won\u2019t be attending the auction. Let\u2019s postpone it for now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jasmine responded with genuine remorse, \u201cI\u2019m truly sorry, Mr. Wade.\u201d<\/p>\n

She then went back to her car to retrieve a wooden box, placing it gently in Charlie\u2019s hand. \u201cMr. Wade, this is a small token of my appreciation as an apology\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

As soon as the box touched Charlie\u2019s hands, he felt the subtle traces of Reiki emanating from it, and he accepted it with gratitude.<\/p>\n

Jasmine was thrilled that Charlie accepted her gift. \u201cWell, I\u2019ll go ahead and suspend today\u2019s auction. I\u2019ll ask Finn to regroup and assess his team at the Treasure Pavilion. Once he\u2019s ready, we can hold another auction, and I hope both you and Mr. Wilson will be interested in joining us then.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jacob was taken aback when he realized who she was. She was indeed Miss Moore, the woman he had encountered at the Vintage Deluxe when he accidentally broke the antique vase, wasn\u2019t she?<\/p>\n

She was remarkably courteous to his son-in-law and was even willing to delay the auction and rearrange everything for him! Wasn\u2019t that quite an honor?<\/p>\n

Could it be related to the vase he had repaired the other day?<\/p>\n

\u201cOh my goodness, I need to view my son-in-law in a new light,\u201d Jacob murmured to himself.<\/p>\n

Recognizing Jasmine\u2019s sincerity, Charlie nodded and replied, \u201cAlright then, when you reschedule the auction, we\u2019ll be there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jacob quickly chimed in, \u201cYes, absolutely, we\u2019ll attend.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m glad to hear that. Again, I sincerely apologize for today\u2019s incident. Please drive safely.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jasmine bowed and expressed her regrets once more before bidding them farewell and departing.<\/p>\n

Once Jasmine was gone, Jacob pointed to the wooden box in Charlie\u2019s hands, his excitement palpable. \u201cCharlie, what did Miss Moore give you? Open it!\u201d<\/p>\n

Charlie nodded and began to slowly open the wooden box.<\/p>\n

Suddenly, a powerful surge of Reiki burst forth from the box, instantly revitalizing him.<\/p>\n

\u201cHuh, what is that?\u201d Jacob craned his neck for a better look, only for his expression to twist into confusion.<\/p>\n

Inside the box lay a black object, about the size of a fist. At first glance, it resembled a piece of coal, albeit with a rough surface and some dirt on it.<\/p>\n

When Charlie recognized what was inside the wooden box, his heart raced in surprise at Jasmine\u2019s generosity.<\/p>\n

Jacob squinted at the black object repeatedly. Finally, he let out a disappointed huff. \u201cI thought it might be some kind of precious treasure, but it\u2019s just a piece of wood.\u201d<\/p>\n

Charlie smiled. \u201cDad, it is wood, but not just any wood; it\u2019s something very rare.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jacob was even more perplexed. \u201cWhat on earth is it?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is lightning-struck wood.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s created when trees are struck by lightning, right?\u201d Jacob replied. \u201cBut isn\u2019t this type of wood common in the mountains during thunderstorms? What makes this one so special?\u201d<\/p>\n

Charlie smiled again. \u201cDad, while it\u2019s true that ordinary trees can be struck by lightning, look closely at this wood. It has been charred into a black onyx-like texture. Wood can only achieve such charring under extreme temperatures, indicating that this lightning carried an immense amount of power. It\u2019s likely from a rare, massive lightning strike that occurs only once in centuries.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMoreover, the black and shiny section of the wood has faint bloodline patterns, revealing that it\u2019s the core of the \u2018Raja Kayu,\u2019 the king of wood, making it even more extraordinary.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jacob scoffed dismissively. \u201cI still don\u2019t believe it. How much could a piece of lightning-struck wood possibly be worth? It\u2019s just a gimmick. The true value lies in antique cultural relics. If you told me this wood was touched by Louis XIV of France, then it might be worth something.\u201d<\/p>\n

Charlie simply smiled and chose not to respond. To him, this piece was incredibly valuable and held immense significance. Not only did it possess abundant Reiki, but according to the Apocalyptic Book, it could also be refined.<\/p>\n

But Jacob, of course, wouldn\u2019t grasp any of that.<\/p>\n

Thus, Charlie decided not to elaborate further and carefully put the box away.<\/p>\n
