At the edge of the market, a mysterious vendor wrapped in clothes was meditating in front of his stall.

On the stall were some ancient-looking, worn-out items.

Pam Olsen was not far away, looking at the surrounding stalls.

He was an idle civilian beast-controlling master, and recently, for some unknown reason, his usual bad gambling luck had improved a lot, allowing him to have some spare cash. He had heard that good deals could often be found at this base, and rumor had it that many people had already made their fortunes by finding bargains.

Pam was so jealous that he didn’t care about his lack of experience in this area. After all, with his years of gambling experience, how could he possibly miss a good deal?

As he looked around, he noticed the mysterious vendor.

Pam was shocked.

“Isn’t this the big shot who made the registration clerk so deferential and obsequious today? Why is he setting up a stall here?”

His eyes shifted, and he was about to go over for a closer look when he saw an old man walking towards the big shot vendor.

Pam didn’t just come here on a whim to find bargains; he knew that it wasn’t that easy to find good deals. Therefore, before coming here, he had done some research.

He spent some money to inquire about an old swindler who had been in the fake business for many years, who pointed out all the well-known counterfeiters in this marketplace.

This way, Pam only needed to avoid those swindlers. He just had to look at the stalls set up by newbies or people who seemed very skilled, and the chance of finding a bargain would be greatly increased.

So at this moment, Pam had already recognized that the old man was one of the top-ranked old swindlers in this area.

“How come he’s looking at other people’s stalls? Could it be… that there’s treasure on that stall?”

Pam’s eyes exploded with a glint, as if he smelled the scent of money.

Because, as long as they were counterfeit swindlers, their eyesight couldn’t be bad, and they wouldn’t let genuine items slip through their fingers. Otherwise, once people found out that a swindler had sold a genuine item, it would become the subject of ridicule among their colleagues for the next ten years.

Some swindlers didn’t even dare to put items on display if they couldn’t be sure whether they were genuine or not, fearing that others might find a bargain at their own expense, causing their peers to laugh at them.

Although the old swindler appeared calm on the surface, Pam could see that he was actually very nervous inside.

Following the old swindler’s gaze, he confirmed that the old man was staring at a jade gourd with unusual patterns, an ancient style, and quite a bit of charm.

He hurried over to the mysterious vendor.

When he got there, he heard the old swindler casually asking, “Young man, how much is this little stone tag?”

“Thirty thousand Cathay currency,” the vendor said without even looking up.

Pam was shocked.

What is so expensive?

“Oh, and this jade gourd?” the old swindler asked again, pretending not to be interested.

“Fifty thousand. ”

“Deal, I’ll take the gourd then.” The old swindler finished speaking and was about to grab the jade gourd directly.

Pam, with a quick eye and hand, grabbed the jade gourd first.

As soon as he touched it, he felt the warmth of the jade gourd and a faint flow of energy being transmitted to him.

Pam didn’t know what attribute this energy belonged to, but he felt a warm current in his body upon contact, as if the jade gourd was nourishing him.

“This is a great treasure! I must not let go!” Pam was overjoyed and secretly decided that he had to get this item.

“Who are you? I saw it first!” The old swindler was furious when he saw that the jade gourd he had set his sights on was taken away.

“If you saw it first, then it’s yours? Then there wouldn’t be so much NTR in the world!” Pam showed disdain.

The mysterious vendor opened his eyes at this moment, his eyes deep and soul-stirring.

As Pam met his gaze, a giant dragon phantom appeared deep in the vendor’s pupils. Pam felt as if he was being torn and devoured by the giant dragon, his entire being plunging into a bottomless black hole.

“Let the highest bidder take it.”

The mysterious vendor slowly closed his eyes, and Pam broke free from that near-death state, breaking out in a cold sweat.

“Fifty thousand, I’ll pay!” As soon as he came to his senses, he heard the old swindler raising the bid.

“Sixty thousand!” Although, Pam was deterred by the vendor, but the more powerful the vendor, the more he believed in the value of the jade gourd.

At this moment, Pam was convinced that once he got his hands on this jade gourd, he would become the next legend in Seattle’s bargain-hunting world!

“Eighty thousand! ” The old swindler was anxious and hurriedly raised his bid again.

“One hundred thousand!” Pam followed suit.

“One hundred fifty thousand! Kid, if you dare to compete with me again, I’ll make you realize that I didn’t survive all these years for nothing!” The old swindler was furious. The item he could have taken for fifty thousand had now risen to one hundred fifty thousand, which made him threaten Pam.

Looking at the fierce appearance of the old swindler, Pam was a bit hesitant. However, the warmth flowing into his body from the jade gourd invigorated him, making him feel as if he could do anything.

“Heh, worst comes to worst, we’ll both go down. I have evidence of you being a fake swindler, and if you don’t want everyone in Los Angeles to know about your dealings, then come on! I bid three hundred thousand!” Going against his usual timid nature, Pam took a hard line.

“You!” The old swindler gritted his teeth, filled with anger, but there was nothing he could do.

Seeing the old swindler’s near-blood-spitting expression, Pam felt secretly pleased and incredibly satisfied.

“The payment is settled.” The mysterious vendor spoke without opening his eyes.

“Sure enough, he’s a big shot. A hundred thousand isn’t worth opening your eyes for.” Pam looked up to the vendor with reverence and decided in his heart that he would become a powerful person with both strength and presence in the future.

Pam transferred money to the vendor’s bank account displayed in the corner of the stall, only to find out awkwardly that he only had five thousand Cathay currency.

“Put it down if you don’t have the money.” The mysterious vendor didn’t open his eyes.

“No, no, I have the money!”

Pam quickly took action, messing around with credit card limits, Beast Loans, and the like, then began calling friends to borrow money.

He asked around twice, borrowing two hundred thousand, but managed to get quite a bit more from loans.

After scraping together the three hundred thousand, he immediately transferred it to the vendor. Then, holding the jade gourd and watching the old swindler vigilantly, he took a few steps back, turned, and ran, as if afraid that the old swindler would come directly and snatch it from him.

About ten minutes later, when it was confirmed that Pam had gone far away, the old swindler changed from his bitter and grief-filled expression to laughter, clutching his stomach and gasping for breath, his face turning purple. Vincent Wolf was afraid that the old man would simply laugh himself to death if he couldn’t catch his breath.

“A true master indeed!”

Vincent Wolf gave a thumbs up, full of admiration.

“You’re not so bad yourself, kid! You’ve got half of the style I had when I was young!”

After he was done laughing, the old swindler spoke while wiping his tears..
