“Didn’t you ask me if she’s here to buy or sell something? I’ve already answered your question. What else do you want to know? That’s another price.”

“Why are you so greedy?”

The man was so angry that his face turned red. He thought that Boss Zhao was at least going to tell him what Gu Man was selling. Unexpectedly, this person refused to reveal anything else. He was very detestable.

When he got back, he had to add fuel to the fire and tell the Ghost King that he had been tricked.

“No, no. Ever since our Appraiser Hall was established, we’ve been relying on swindling and scamming. However, my price is definitely realistic.”

The man sneered.

“I want to know what my wife sold. She better not have sold my family heirloom. I’ll return the money to you.”

Boss Zhao looked at the man in front of him and recalled the talisman Gu Man had handed him just now. He suddenly smiled.

“Are you sure?”

The man nodded, a look of disdain on his face. What precious things could a woman sell? It would not exceed a hundred thousand.

“Alright, ten million. Do you want to pay by scanning the QR code or cash?”

The expression on the man’s face immediately turned ugly as if he had swallowed a dead fly. He tilted his head and stared at Boss Zhao. He looked at the dagger on the table with an unfriendly expression.

“Are you kidding me?”

“No.”

Boss Zhao estimated the price of the talisman. It was worth far more than 10 million yuan, but he was afraid that if he named a higher price and the man really attacked, it would be disadvantageous to him.

The man was certain that Boss Zhao was definitely tricking him, so he used his wide cloak to cover the dagger and stared at Boss Zhao viciously.

“If I find out that that thing isn’t worth ten million, I’ll take your life.”

Boss Zhao, who was used to hearing such threats, was not afraid at all. Since this person dared to so brazenly expose that he was the Ghost King’s subordinate, he naturally would not attack easily.

After all, although the Ghost King was very powerful, he still needed people from various shops to balance the entire Ghost Market. Once a loophole appeared, it was not something the Ghost King could make up for.

“A talisman that can make one invisible.”

“What?”

When the man heard this, he wondered if he was hallucinating. However, Boss Zhao repeated it again and he realized that he was not hallucinating. The person in front of him had gone crazy.

“You really believe that such a thing exists? I didn’t expect the usually stingy Boss Zhao to believe in such superstitions.”

A mocking expression appeared on the man’s face, and Boss Zhao rolled his eyes.

The person in front of him did not know the price of the talisman at all. If he knew, he would definitely not have such an expression.

“Then I’m really sorry. 1 really think that talisman is quite worth this price, so do you still want it?”

Naturally, the man would not spend 10 million yuan to buy something useless.

The reason he asked him what Gu Man was selling was because he had received an order from the higher-ups to stalk Boss Zhao. He happened to encounter him bringing this group of people back to the backyard.

He thought that this group of people would be related to the rumors from before, but he did not expect them to be here to sell talismans.

The shrewd Boss Zhao seemed to have no idea what was going on. He could even trust such a swindler.

He really did not know why the higher-ups suspected that the rumors were related to him. If it was really him, wouldn’t it be full of loopholes?

The man asked a few more questions about Gu Man and left the Appraiser Hall. Boss Zhao stared at the man’s back. After confirming that he had disappeared, he immediately instructed the staff to close the door.

“Boss, it’s not nice to close the store during the daytime. What if the customers come?”

“What does it have to do with me? My life is more important now. Get me a pen and paper. By the way, when Jiang Yi comes, you must tell me.”

The staff did not understand why Boss Zhao did that, but when he thought of the scene just now, he could only follow his orders.

Gu Man did not know that such a thing had happened after she left. She was walking with Xiang Yin.

The atmosphere on the road was exceptionally quiet. Only the sound of the breeze and the sound of leaves colliding could be heard..
