Seeing that Ruth Dawn was very agitated, William Cole didn't inquire further.
The pair made their way to the entrance of Beautiful Salvage.
Beautiful Salvage was very renowned in the antique market, dealing not only in jade crafts and stones but also trading in raw jade gemstones.
For others, this was known as 'stone gambling'.
You would buy a piece of raw gemstone, cut open the outer layer, and if there was jade or emerald inside, you would make a fortune.
If there was nothing, you would lose heavily.
Many people had lost everything because of this, and quite a few had become filthy rich overnight.
Upon entering Beautiful Salvage, both William and Ruth saw an ashen-faced Archie Dawn seated in the hall of Beautiful Salvage.
A woman in her early thirties sat in the prime spot, cradling a cup of aromatic tea.
A few people surrounded Archie, acting as if they were on guard to prevent him from leaving.
