When Zachary burst into Isaac’s office with hair disheveled like a bird’s nest, still emanating the scent of wine and perfume and adorned with numerous bright red lip marks on his face, he immediately caught Vivian’s attention. With an apologetic smile, he approached and asked, “Master Wade, were you looking for me?”

Vivian nodded, curious about Zachary’s drinking escapades. “How was your last night?”

Zachary replied eagerly. “Master Wade, last night was a splendid affair! The drinks flowed perfectly!”

Vivian smiled, pleased with the response. “Since you had a good time, start working in the afternoon.”

Zachary straightened up immediately, filled with respect. “Master Wade, if there’s anything you need, just say the word!”

Vivian nodded and inquired, “Zachary, let me ask you, where is the other ring?”

Without hesitation, Zachary replied, “I placed it in the room’s secure closet myself last night, while I was still wide awake!”

“Very well.” Vivian nodded, satisfied. “Now go freshen up, but remember to clean your face and brush your teeth. A quick wash will suffice, no need for a shower. After you’re done, bring me the ring and head to the antique street. The elderly gentleman who purchased it from you yesterday has been eagerly waiting all morning.”

“Hmm…” Zachary, fully reinvigorated, interjected. “Master Wade, that old man went back to the antique street? Could he be seeking a refund?”

Vivian chuckled and replied, “Impossible. He actually wants to purchase more from you. When you meet him later, inform him that your group isn’t prepared to display all the items yet. However, if he shows sincerity, you can negotiate on his behalf.”

Eager for guidance, Zachary asked promptly, “Master Wade, how much sincerity is required?”

Vivian pondered for a moment before responding, “He must send over at least two hundred thousand dollars upfront. Once that’s settled, contact Mr. Cameron’s assistant and say this without mincing words, ‘Please send some goods.’ Leave the rest to me. I’ll arrange for another ring to be delivered.”

With a mischievous grin, Vivian added, “As for the second ring, you can quote him a price of one million dollars.”

Zachary was taken aback. “Master Wade… if I may ask, the old man already paid five hundred thousand dollars for a ring. It was already a hundredfold profit. Now you suggest one million will he actually buy it?”

“Yes.” Vivian smiled confidently. “Just name the price and he will unquestionably purchase it.”

Though slightly perplexed, Zachary nodded eagerly. “Understood, Master Wade!”

It was well past one o’clock in the afternoon and the antique street basked under the scorching sun, resulting in scarce foot traffic. Gideon paced back and forth, scanning the vendors with his eyes.

A vendor, unable to bear Gideon’s incessant wandering, quipped, “Hey, old man, you’ve been pacing around all morning, making my eyes dizzy. Why don’t you find a place to sit in this heat? Here, I’ll give you some money. Go buy an ice lolly from the restaurant.”

Gideon glared at him and retorted icily, “I’ll pace as I please. What’s it to you? Watch your tongue, or you’ll find trouble with an old man!”

“Damn!” The street vendor seethed with anger, cursing, “You damn old fart, you really don’t know what’s good for you.”

Gideon clenched his fists, his rage mounting as he witnessed the vendor’s insolence.

At that moment, a single thought consumed Gideon’s mind to use the piece of lightning-struck wood in his pocket, capable of summoning sky thunder and strike the insolent youth dead. Yet, he could only entertain such thoughts for now. Until he had dealt with the Evans family, he dared not cause trouble lightly. Thus, he begrudgingly turned around and continued his pacing, resentment in his heart.

Zeba settled comfortably in a window seat on the second floor of a tea house along the antique street, silently observing Gideon from afar, without his knowledge.
