Mr. Chardon felt like a person who had wanted to win the lottery for a hundred years but had never won even once. Now, he had suddenly won two jackpots in a row.
To put it bluntly, it was equivalent to him buying lottery tickets for a lifetime and never winning even the consolation prize of five dollars. As a result, he had suddenly won the grand prize for both Mega Millions and Grand Lotto!
His one hundred and fifty-six years of life experience did not cause him to doubt whether this was a trap at all. His reason for not having any doubts was very simple as well. It was simply because the British Lord himself did not own many magical instruments.
Mr. Chardon had worked with the British Lord for so many years, and the British Lord had only given him a magical instrument that he could use for self-defense. Moreover, the magical instrument was not a gift from the British Lord. Mr. Chardon would have to return it to the British Lord for safekeeping when he returned.
Therefore, who would take out two magical instruments just to deceive him if the British Lord was reluctant to even give one magical instrument to him?
Mr. Chardon felt that he was not worthy at all. Therefore, he did not have any doubts and only felt extremely thrilled.
He walked to Zachary’s stall calmly and asked him, “Excuse me, Boss, are you Zachary Evans?”
Zachary nodded and said casually, “Yes, I am. How can I help you?”
Mr. Chardon smiled faintly and said, “Greetings. I just met your subordinate at the airport and happened to take a fancy to the jade ring he was wearing, so I spoke to him to inquire about it, and he asked me to come and talk to you.”
Zachary looked at Mr. Chardon warily and said, “Oh, are you the person who’s willing to spend three million dollars to buy the jade ring?”
“Yes, that’s me.” Mr. Chardon nodded and said with a smile, “I’ll offer three million dollars without bargaining.”
Fortunately, he did not lack money, and he really wanted a magical instrument. He was rather anxious to get it as soon as possible, so he did not think about it in detail.
He was suddenly dumbfounded when Zachary asked him this question now.
What’s more, he did not expect that Zachary would be the one to suspect him instead when he himself did not doubt Zachary.
After thinking for a moment, Mr. Chardon spoke up somewhat embarrassedly, “Boss, you’ve misunderstood me. I’m an overseas Oskian who has returned to Oskia to visit my relatives here. I’m not an undercover cop. Besides, I really like that jade ring, so I don’t mind the higher price at all.”
Zachary sneered and said with a smile, “You’re not young anymore, so how can you lie so blatantly? Do you think I’ll believe your words? The price of the jade ring should be about thirty thousand dollars in the antique market. You could have offered fifty thousand dollars for it if you really liked it. Only people like you who do not have an understanding of antiques will agree to pay three million dollars for it!”
