Noticing that the money was visible, Zhao Laosi (Reed) saw the other party hand over several hundred yuan. He didn’t bother to count how many bills were there; he quickly pocketed the cash. To be honest, this finger pull isn’t something I can just sell at will. It’s my elder brother’s possession, and it’s meant for me to wear as a token when Ie to pick up people at the airport.” “A treasure?” Willie asked, frowning slightly.<fn9443> N?w ?ovel chapt?rs are published on Find[?]ovel</fn9443>


    Willie couldn’t help but wonder why an ordinary person would have ess to a magical item.


    If it was merely a coincidence that this guy came into possession of it, and I bought it from him for a bit more, then I would simply consider myself lucky. However, the fact that this individual imed it was a token given to him by someone else made Willie feel uneasy.


    So, he intentionally inquired of Zhao Laosi (Reed), “Brother, what’s the story behind this token? Can you exin it to me?”


    With a smile, Zhao Laosi (Reed) replied quietly, “My elder brother asked me to pick up businessmen from Hong Kong. These businessmen are usually significant clients in our antique circle, and there are some gray transactions that we can’t exin to outsiders. It’s like secret agents; there has to be a token to convey information.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Then, Zhao Laosi (Reed) pointed to the signboard indicating his pickup service, and with a serious expression, he added, “I suspect that what Colin has on my signboard ispletely fake. When Hong Kong businessmene to purchase cultural relics, they cannot use their real names, so they likely rely on the token in my hand to confirm whether I belong to the right group!” Zhao Laosi (Reed) was not deceiving Willie.


    Zhang Ermao (Cade) hadn’t clearly exined matters to them; he intentionally left things vague, allowing for plenty of spection.


    Why would there be no confirmation letter when the person arrives? That must be due to the need for caution!


    Moreover, why would someone wear a finger pull from a death pit when picking someone up? It must serve as the key for the Hong Kong businessman to verify the authenticity of the connector, as previously agreed!


    And why wear a life-threatening wrench? Perhaps this Ermao is in cahoots with tomb robbers and is now thinking of helping them sell their plundered goods!


    Zhao Laosi (Reed) also realized that regardless of the dynasty the item from the death pit belonged to, as long as it was excavated and not submitted to the authorities, it would be illegal. If it was dug up and not reported, and secretly traded, it would be an even worse crime. Why else would Zhang Ermao (Cade) be willing to pay me and Xiao Teng (Otto) three thousand yuan inbor fees each day? This indicates that he must be nning something significant and doesn’t care about such a small sum!


    It was precisely because of these possibilities that Zhao Laosi (Reed) firmly believed his instincts were correct; he had certainly tapped into Zhang Ermao (Cade)’s connections!


    Willie was feeling conflicted at that moment.


    On one hand, he suspected this could all be a scam, but on the other hand, after hearing Zhao Laosi (Reed), he felt that this group was indeed involved in a one-stop service for tomb raiding, processing, and selling stolen artifacts.


    With this in mind, he cautiously asked, “Brother, can I ask, is your elder brother a professional antique maker?”


    “Absolutely!” Zhao Laosi (Reed) replied without hesitation. “He has been crafting antiques for twenty or thirty years; he’s definitely skilled in all forms of antique calligraphy and painting!”


    Willie nodded, took out a few hundred yuan bills, and handed them over, smiling as he said, “Brother, could you introduce me to your elder brother? I would really like to meet him.”
