"That's right, Your Excellency. That sound wave indeed originated from our chamber of commerce, but it wasn't caused by anyone directly. It was triggered by an antique that this young master found in an ancient ruin and brought here to sell," Wen-Xi nodded, explaining the source of the sound. While he spoke some truth, the rest was fabricated.
"An antique? What is it? May I take a look?" Dan-Ge asked with a skeptical expression, clearly interested in the object Wen-Xi mentioned.
"Unfortunately, you can't. The item has already been sent to our main office in the capital city for evaluation," Wen-Xi quickly fabricated an excuse to dodge Dan-Ge's request.
"What a pity! That item must be incredibly valuable. It's a shame I didn't arrive in time; otherwise, I would have bought it myself," Dan-Ge said. Although he was unsure if Wen-Xi was telling the truth, he knew Wen-Xi had a reputation for being a fair and honest seller, making his story somewhat credible.
