“Yeah, you’re considered lucky to find one genuine item in one hundred items these stalls sell. Even a 1% probability is too much to ask for here. But that’s not the case for the ones sold in stores. Four or five out of ten antiques sold in stores are genuine. Of course, they cost more too,” Stefan said, nodding vigorously.
Realizing she was the guide, Stefan went out of her way to explain to Amber.
“This antique market has been around for many years. It’s as busy as it was when I was a kid. I often come here with my father, who occasionally buys something he’s interested in, but he hasn’t had much luck. All the antiques he bought so far have been fakes, but several antiques that his friends gave him are genuine.”
Stefan laughed as she finished speaking.
Amber glanced back at Stefan and said, “So you’re telling me that the ancient bronze sword your father bought is also a fake?”
Amber’s words instantly made Stefan’s beautiful face pale.
Stefan quickly explained, “No… That’s not what I meant. Mr. Adrian, it must be genuine for you to be interested in the ancient bronze sword. I’m sure you have a good eye. Perhaps my father got lucky and finally bought something genuine, and you like it.”
“No need to explain. I was just saying,” Amber waved his hands and said.
Despite what Amber had said, Stefan felt uneasy.
It can’t go on like this.
If this keeps up, Mr. Adrian will be disappointed in me!
