However, the staff member immediately retorted, “Sir, you’re wrong. Even if this thing is a defective
product at that time, it has been preserved for nearly 800 years, and it still has a certain collector’s
value!”
Jasper nodded and said lightly, “It’s true that it has a certain collector’s value, but this is not what we
want. Let me look at other items.”
The staff member did not know what to say. Then, he continued, “Why don’t you look at the painting
over there? It’s the real painting by Jacques-Louis David!”
Upon hearing this, Jasper looked in the direction the other party pointed and saw that there was indeed
a painting hanging on the wall. However, he frowned slightly and said with some disgust, “We are going
to celebrate a business magnate’s birthday. His business is booming now, and if I give him a painting
about death, won’t I be cursing him?”
Pfft!
Celine burst out laughing when she heard this.
This time, the staff member could not bear it anymore, and retorted, “Sir, you can’t say that. Based on
what you said, 90% of the antiques in this world are dug up from the tombs of the dead. Things used by
dead people are not auspicious, so why are so many rich businessmen collecting them?”
Jasper did not continue talking to the staff member. After that, he noticed that there was a bronze horse
on the shelf. It looked ordinary and had a layer of dust on it. At a glance, it was clear that no one
usually noticed the existence of this thing. Not even the owner and staff of the store had ever paid
attention to it.
“Boss, how much is that bronze horse?” Jasper asked the shop owner, who had never spoken, in a flat
tone.
Upon hearing this, the boss turned his head to look, only to notice that there was such an item in his
store. Then, he blurted out without even thinking, “That thing? I bought it for cheap, and it’s not worth
much. I will sell it to you for 3000 dollars if you want it.”
Jasper glanced at Celine and said, “Miss Maynard, pay up.”
Celine snapped back to her senses, a surprised expression on her face.
“Ah… This… Is this the thing you want me to give to Old Master Law?”
Jasper nodded and said with certainty, “Yes, exactly.”
Celine wanted to say something else, but Jasper did not look like he was joking. At the same time, after
she thought about it, it was only 3000 dollars anyway, so why not just buy it?
She would ask him what was so great about the bronze horse after they left the shop. Hence, after
taking out her credit card and paying, they took the bronze horse and left the antique shop.
After getting in the car, Celine asked, “I really don’t understand. There are so many things in the shop. I
don’t know if they are genuine or fake, but they look much better than this horse. Why did you choose
it?”
Jasper knew she would ask such a question, so he explained with a smile, “Don’t underestimate this
bronze horse. Although it looks inconspicuous, it’s very valuable. I won’t lie to you. If you give this as a
gift, those who are aware of it will naturally understand its value…”
Jasper did not tell Celine how much it was worth. Speaking of which, this bronze horse had some
connection with his previous life, but he definitely would not tell Celine about it.
A look of surprise appeared on Celine’s face when she heard that “Then the owner of the antique shop
is so blind. Ironically, he treats trash as treasure and treasure as trash.”
Jasper said lightly with a smile, “The owners of antique shops like this sell a lot of fakes. Over time,
even they won’t be able to tell the difference between real and fake. It‘s normal.”
The two stopped talking about this topic, and Celine added, “Anyway, thank you for helping me choose
a gift today. I’ll treat you to a meal to thank you.”
Coincidentally, Jasper was a little hungry. “Okay, you should choose the place then. I’m fine with
anything.”
