“Congratulations to the three of you. Luck is on your side.” Samuel clasped his hands, smiling
as usual.
“Mr. Franklin, thanks to you, we got a great deal.” Dustin returned the smile with a knowing look.
Samuel had remained silent the entire time, evidently hoping Julian would meet his end so that he could reclaim the Jade Maiden Scripture.
It was a pity that it ended up in their hands instead.
“May I ask for your name?” Samuel asked respectfully.
“Dustin Rhys.”
“Mr. Rhys, you don’t seem like an ordinary person, given your manner of speech. I hope we can work together again in the future.” Samuel extended an olive branch.
Dustin raised an eyebrow. “How do you intend us to work together, Mr. Franklin?”
“I mainly specialize in gathering information and trading rare treasures. I can assist you if you need help in those areas.” Samuel smiled.

Dustin shook his head. “It’s not exactly fake, but rather, incomplete.”
“Incomplete?” Nikki frowned and took the sheepskin scripture from him.
She carefully flipped through it and said, “Where’s the missing part? It looks complete to me. Come on, don’t just speak nonsense!”
“It’s not just the content that’s incomplete. There’s something wrong with the cover too. It seems like there’s something hidden inside it. Why don’t we open it up?” Dustin rubbed his chin.

“Hey! I’m warning you not to mess around!” Nikki hugged the sheepskin scripture. protectively, close to her chest.
