Lin Wan’er (ni) gazed at the three burning sandalwood sticks, her expression one of defeat.


    She turned to Charlie, confusion evident in her voice, “You seem to know just how capable we are of fighting back. Who are they, really?”


    Charlie shook his head, “I can’t quite figure it out. It feels as if someone is viewing everything from a divine perspective.”


    As he spoke, he moved through the main hall, intending to head to the backyard for answers. However, something caught his attention: a wooden door at the back of the hall.


    Cautiously, he opened the door and discovered a small room, measuring about five or six square meters.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Upon a brief nce, Charlie noticed that the room contained little more than a simple wooden chair and a small table, less than half a meter wide.


    A refreshing aroma filled the air, invigorating his senses.


    As he looked closer, he spotted a bracelet resting on the small wooden table. Its color was nearly identical to that of the table.


    The bracelet was made of wooden beads, each about one centimeter in diameter, shining in various shades of dark brown and emanating a strong woody fragrance.


    ced carefully in the center of the table, it appeared as though someone had intentionally left it there.


    Charlie stepped closer and picked up the bracelet, feeling the warm texture of each bead. The bracelet was lightweight, and the unique scent led him to believe it was made of agarwood.


    Just then, Lin Wan’er entered the room, her eyes wide with surprise. “Where did you find that agarwood bracelet in your hand, Young Master?”


    Charlie nced back at her, smiling, “I found it on the table.”


    Lin Wan’er approached him cautiously, asking, “Young Master, could I take a look at it?”


    Charlie nodded, handing her the agarwood bracelet.


    She examined it closely, eximing, “This is the finest variety of agarwood, Bai Qinan, specifically an out-of-print type from Hainan. It’s a unique piece, unlike any other Bai Qinan I’ve seen from Hainan…”


    “Is it of excellent quality?” Charlie inquired, intrigued. “How much is it worth?”


    Lin Wan’er replied, “The best top-grade Bai Qinan bracelets avable in the market can fetch auction prices of around hundreds of thousands per gram, yet they still pale inparison to this one. I’ve never encountered such high-quality material before…”


    Charlie marveled, “You’ve been enjoying tea from the mother of Pucha all the way to now. When I first met you in Northern Europe, your blue and white porcin was the finest. Is there anything in this world that you haven’te across?”


    Lin Wan’er gently covered her lips with her jade hand and chuckled, “Young Master, you have too much faith in me. There are countless hidden talents in this world. Most things that the public knows about are far from the best, so it’s not surprising toe across something unfamiliar.”<fnf99d> Get full chapters from fι?dnοvel</fnf99d>


    As she spoke, she returned the bracelet to Charlie, saying, “Sir, this bracelet should be a gift for you. Please ept it and keep it safe.”


    Charlie suggested, “Perhaps it’s meant for you?”


    “No,” Lin Wan’er replied with a sweet smile. “If it were intended for me, they likely wouldn’t have the means to afford it.”


    Curious, Charlie asked, “What makes you say that?”


    She exined, “Young Master, count the beads. There are exactly twenty-eight. If I recall correctly, you just celebrated your twenty-eighth birthday this year and haven’t turned twenty-nine yet. Isn’t this a gift prepared especially for you? If it were for me, I’d need at least three hundred pieces, which would be quite extravagant.”


    Charlie was taken aback and quickly lowered his gaze to count the beads on the bracelet. Remarkably, there were indeed twenty-eight, no more, no less.


    Typically, bracelets feature neen beads, as many people not only seek beautiful materials but also meaningful representations. In Buddhism, the significance is profound.
