Charles had no idea what the two men standing nearby were thinking he was too busy getting distracted by something shiny on the table. His eyes lit up as he spotted a piece of porcelain.

Charles didn't know the first thing about white ice jade. He just thought it looked cool and shiny. "I want this one, big bro."

The man took a slow sip of coffee. "Alright. Pack up, let's go."

Charles grinned from ear to ear and handed the plate to the doctor, who looked like he was about to have a heart attack. That thing was worth a fortune. But since the eldest master hadn't objected, the doctor could only keep quiet and start wrapping it up.
