Meanwhile, Xyla Quest, the other bodyguards, Mr. Warren, and the couple with their hair in buns stood around Clarence Steele and quietly waited.
After taking a closer look at the bronze mirror, Clarence soon discovered the traces of black tape inside one of the gaps.
When Clarence saw this, a satisfied smile instantly appeared on his round face. “Indeed, these two layers of bronze mirrors were glued together…”
With that, he excitedly picked up the dissolving agent near his hand and started carefully using a cotton bud to smear the liquid around the edges of the mirror.
After a while, Clarence picked up a toothpick and carefully placed it in the gap where he had originally discovered the traces of black tape. After that, he pushed the sharp end into the gap.
Indeed, once the toothpick was pushed slightly inside, an even larger gap appeared in the edges of the bronze mirror.
Clarence smiled in relief. After that, he picked up a small pair of scissors next to him and carefully inserted the tip of the scissors into the bronze mirror. He then applied the principle of mechanical advantage to pry the bronze mirror open…
In the next second, a folded piece of yellowing paper in the center of the bronze mirror came to sight…
Right then, Mr. Warren, the bodyguards, the couple with their hair in buns were all shocked.
Xyla was the only one who remained calm the whole time. Her expression was a clear contrast to the rest of the crowd.
Seeing how these people had originally treated her like a fool and how they were all shocked now, Xyla truly felt a little pleased.
“This… This thing actually contains something inside!” Mr. Warren pointed at the yellowing paper excitedly. There was a look of disbelief in his eyes.
After that, he subconsciously reached out to grab the paper. He wanted to see what it was.
His instincts told him that this was a valuable treasure.
