90,000 Years of Longevity

Chapter 282: Shatter

In Year's trace, it was still very lively.

The boss was standing in front of the three foreigners. His complexion was dark and his body trembled slightly as if he would fall to the ground at any time.

"Boss, this wooden bead looks pretty good! The price is 200... very good, I want this one."

James had a confident smile at the corner of his mouth.

Walking to the corner of the antique store shelf... After seeing a wooden bead, he stopped for a while, picked it up, looked at it twice, and threw it to the female foreigner behind him.

And with this, another male foreigner immediately took out his mobile phone, turned around, and scanned the QR code for the payment in the antique shop. It took less than five seconds for the boss to receive a voice prompt of 200 Yuan to the account.

But hearing this voice, the boss was totally unhappy. His complexion became even more depressed.

"What is the origin of this wooden bead? You tell me!" The boss looked at James with red eyes. 

The smile on James' face remained the same.

"Oh! Actually, it's not of any origin... This wooden bead looks very shiny on the surface, like some literary games, because there is only one quantity, it is sold for 200 Yuan, which is indeed very reasonable. But it is not as simple as an ordinary bead, and it's not made of wood." James' voice was full of sarcasm, and when he said till this, he pretended to be silent.

This immediately aroused the interest of many onlookers.

"No, I've been to this antique shop before and I've seen this bead. It's the size of an ordinary walnut. Except for the surface is smoother, it seems to have a sound inside when shaken. I don't see anything special, so let alone 200, if it's put on sale on the street, I won't buy it even if it is sold for 2 Yuan."

It was a middle-aged man talking. His complexion was ugly to the extreme, because he was one of the bosses where these foreigners had ruined not long ago. 

"Yes, yes... Boss Huang is right! I've seen this bead several times. It's not an antique at all, but it's like a modern handicraft... are you not mistaken about this?"

Someone answered immediately added.

"I just wonder what origin this bead has."

Those onlookers kept talking.

When saying these words, without exception, everyone had a bit of expectation in their eyes. But in the depths of their pupils, they did not really expect anything.

These days, it was this group of foreigners who swept through many famous shops in the Confucian Temple.

In the beginning, no one took it seriously.

But over time, the powerful antique appraisal level displayed by the foreigners was like a thick slap, which slapped the doubters' faces time and time again, swelling their faces like a balloon.

As a result, unconsciously, the scar of fear was deeply imprinted on their hearts.

"Of course it has an unusual origin! Since you have asked sincerely, then I will tell you!" James was very tall, and when he spoke, he reached out his hand calmly.

The female foreigner behind immediately handed the beads back into his hands.

"Everyone... On the surface, this bead is indeed made of wood. Because of the special nature of wood, it will not last for a long time. Therefore, even if it is an ancient artifact, the possibility of value is very low. But... what if this bead isn't made of wood? What if it's made of other materials instead?" James raised the corners of his mouth as his arrogant eyes swept over everyone on the scene.

After his crappy Chinese fell, there was an uproar at the scene.

"Impossible, I've played with this bead before. When I held it in my hand, it was obviously very light, absolutely impossible to be made of any other material." Boss Huang stood up immediately, gritted his teeth and said.

"Yeah, yeah... I've seen it before! At first, I also thought that this bead was weird, but after I discussed with the boss, it was obviously an ordinary bead."

"Other material? Are you kidding me?"

The surrounding voices kept popping out.

And James, who heard these voices, was not uncomfortable.

Between his eyebrows, on the contrary, it became more relaxed...

"Everyone, I don't know if I should say it or not." James grinned, and then he spoke again, "China has a history of 5,000 years and has a long cultural heritage. But what a pity, there are many good things that were wasted in the hands of your own people... and we came to this country this time without any malice. We just want to make the dusted treasures reappear."

Regarding these words, at first sound, there was no problem.

But after thinking about it...

James was obviously mocking the huge China that all of its people were just a bunch of trash.

"You..."

"Asshole! Then you tell me the origin of this bead."

"F*ck you!"

The onlookers around could not find words to refute for a while, and their complexions turned purple. Some of them could only curse silently.

James gently played with the beads in his hands.

Then without warning, his hand stopped on the spot.

Click!

Then a "click" sound resounded directly at the scene.

"You... crushed the beads?" Boss Huang was shocked.

The owner of Year's Trace was startled when he heard this sound, then he shook his head again and again, looked at Boss Huang, and sighed, "This time, we are really planted again. Before the bead swayed, I could faintly hear the sound inside. Because it is wooden on the surface, there was no doubt, but now it is completely different. The wood on the bead is indeed made in modern times, but what is hidden inside is definitely more than 200 Yuan. James, since I am the one who sold this thing to you, I only have one question, can you show me what's in the bead?"

When the boss said this, his eyes were staring at James's clenched fist.

To be frank... At this moment, James was also very curious about what was inside the beads, but he was certain that the contents were very valuable. It should be known that the bead was at least a hundred years old, and there were not many advanced technologies in that era.

But since it was still possible to make this kind of bead, could the thing which was hidden inside be an ordinary thing?

"No problem at all."

Hearing what the boss said, James grinned, then slowly stretched out his palm.

In the antique shop, the crowd closed their mouths tightly at this moment, and their eyes widened, all wanting to see what was inside.

"It's just a piece of amber."

However, just as everyone was looking forward to it, a leisurely voice came from the direction outside the door.

After this voice dropped, everyone at the scene was shocked!
