Early the next morning, Charlie prepared to attend the auction.
Jacob could not sleep well the previous night because he was so worried about the matter related to the Quinton family. Therefore, he continued nagging at Charlie in the living room. 1
At this time, Charlie asked Jacob, "Dad, I heard about the special treasure that will be up for auction at the Treasure Pavilion today. Am I right?" 2
"Yes," Jacob replied immediately. "I've heard that it's a valuable treasure that is unparalleled in this world."
After he was done speaking, Jacob suddenly thought 0 f something. After that, he quickly pulled Charlie aside before he said, "My dear son-in-law, please don't get any ideas about this treasure. The starting price for this treasure is ten million dollars! We should just take a look at the treasure from afar." 3
Charlie knew that his father-in-law was simply worried that he would be using the Quinton family's money for his own purposes. Therefore, he smiled before he replied, "Dad, don't worry about it. You're right, I'll just have a look at it and not try to bid for it." 1
"That's good," Jacob replied as he was afraid that he would not be able to convince Charlie. "But even if you wanted to bid for it, you won’t have the chance to do s
0." 2
"Why?" i
"I was out yesterday to inquire about the auction that would be held today, and I heard that the owner of Mystery Court will also be attending the auction today as he is interested in the final treasure that is up for auction." 2
Charlie was surprised as soon as he heard Jacob's words. "The owner of Mystery Court will also be here?"
No one knew much about the Mystery Court. 2
Its owner, Jack Valeman, was a famous Feng Shui master in the country. 1

It would cost at least seven figures to get him to read someone's fortune for them.
If any celebrity had wanted to purchase any items from Mystery Court, then his charges would be doubled or tripled. 1
However, even though the prices of his items were extremely high, none of the items that he sold were fake-all of them were authentic. 5
Moreover, rumor has it that Jack's predictions and fortune telling had always been very accurate. 2
