Everyone in the room was dumbfounded. They scanned the surroundings but failed to find any speaker in the room. However, those were indeed Galen and Boris' voices.
Sean was the one who had the darkest expression at the moment. If the conversation were real, he would be the biggest victim as he had purchased that talisman.
Sean cast a baffled look at Barnabus. “Mr. Holt, please be honest with me. Is this Disc of Eight Trigrams really a talisman?”
Barnabus' face was filled with embarrassment as he furrowed his brows. “Mr. Cooper, indeed, I can't tell if it is a real talisman...”
“That's impossible. Didn't you activate some of its arrays earlier? Why can't you tell?” Sean asked in disbelief.
Barnabus' face turned red. At this point, he had no choice but to confess, “To be honest, it was merely a magecraft of mine. I don't have the ability to detect if there is an arcane array inside of this Disc of Eight Trigrams. As for whether Mr. Yonce's arcane array is real or not, I couldn't tell either. After all, there is a huge gap between our abilities...”
Sean was rendered speechless upon hearing that.
“Mr. Chance, so you noticed it since the beginning?” Samuel asked Jared with a startled look.
“I already said earlier on that this Disc of Eight Trigrams was a piece of useless wood. Yet, no one believed me.”
Jared smiled faintly.
The crowd heard what Jared said and lowered their heads in embarrassment. Some of them had even provoked Jared earlier. Yet, it turned out he was the real deal.
“You punk, so you were trying to fool me?!” Sean finally realized why Jared had joined the bidding even though he already knew this Disc of Eight Trigrams was fake.
He deliberately raised the bidding price so that I would pay an exorbitant amount for this piece of cr*p!
