Maria sighed, defeated, as she looked at the three nearly spent sticks of sandalwood. With a puzzled expression, she said to Charlie, “You can predict how we can counter them… Who are they?”

Charlie shook his head. “I can’t quite comprehend it. It’s like having a glimpse from God’s perspective.”

As he spoke, he strolled through the main hall, heading toward the backyard to investigate. Yet, a wooden door at the rear of the main hall caught his attention.

Carefully, he opened the door and discovered a small room about five or six square meters in size. A swift scan revealed that the room held little aside from a plain wooden chair and a small wooden table measuring less than half a meter in width. The room emitted a unique, invigorating aroma.

Upon closer inspection, Charlie noticed a string of bracelets on the table, their color closely resembling that of the wooden table itself.

The bracelet was made up of wooden beads about a centimeter in diameter, dark brown in various shades, gleaming and exuding a robust woody fragrance. Placed at the center of the table, the bracelet appeared deliberately left behind.

Charlie stepped forward and picked up the bracelet, sensing the warm texture of each bead. Given its lightness and distinctive fragrance, Charlie speculated that it was made of agarwood.

At that moment, Maria entered the room, surprised. “Where did the Young Master get this agarwood bracelet?”

Charlie turned to her, smiling. “I found it on this table.”

Curious, Maria approached and asked, “Young Master, may I examine it?”

Charlie nodded and handed her the agarwood bracelet.

Maria delicately held the bracelet, examining it with fascination. “This is the best type of agarwood, and it’s an antique Hainan. It’s an exceptional piece. Unlike anything I’ve ever seen.”

“Exceptional?” Jagoan asked, intrigued. “Is this item expensive?”

Maria explained, “The top-grade bracelet available in the market commands an auction price of hundreds of thousands a gram. However, in comparison, this one is of far superior quality. I have never seen such exquisite materials.”
