Chapter 573 Sleight Of Hand
Boris faltered when he heard Jared’s warning. Next to him, Galen’s heart skipped a beat.
If Jared can really prove that the Disc of Eight Trigrams is useless and impotent, then the elites of Jadeborough would never let us leave unscathed!
The crowd was stunned to see Boris hesitate. Their gazes were riveted on the skilled geomancer.
“Enough with the big talk and just show us the evidence! I was the one who authenticated the talisman. Of course, I know what it is!” Boris bit the bullet when he saw the onlookers’ skeptical looks. He could not afford to lose their trust.
“Did you hear him, kid? Show us what you’ve got! If you can’t prove us wrong by today, none of us will let you off easy!” Sean chuckled humorlessly.
Jared paid Sean no heed and pulled out a coin from his pocket. He gently placed the coin on the table and announced, “Everyone, here I have an amazing talisman to show you!”
Enraged shouts erupted from all around the room when they saw the coin, which was obviously not enchanted. “What the f*ck is this? Isn’t that just a coin?”
“You call that a talisman? If that’s a talisman, then I have hundreds of talismans at home!”
“Do you think that we’re idiots? How can a penny be a talisman?”
The crowd lashed out at Jared.
Unperturbed, Jared looked at Boris and asked, “Mr. Yonce, do you think that this is a talisman?”
Boris did not know what was up Jared’s sleeve, but one thing was for sure—that was a normal coin and not a talisman!
“That’s just a coin. There’s no way that’s a talisman!” Boris answered with certainty.
“Well, well. It seems like you’re not blind after all,” Jared quipped. “All of you could tell that it’s just a normal coin!”
