The fact that Jared could create a fire array within the coin with such ease astounded Boris.
Noticing that something was off about Boris’ expression, Galen whispered, “Mr. Yonce, are you all
right?”
“This kid is proficient at magecraft. We’ve underestimated him.”
Boris’ brows pulled together tightly as he frowned.
“What?” Galen exclaimed, incredulous. He looked at Boris in bewilderment
To be commended by Boris was a testament to one’s abilities, and to receive a compliment at such a
young age meant that Jared’s powers were out-worldly.
“What are we going to do?” Galen asked. Panic seeped into his voice.
“We can’t let him look at the Disc of Eight Trigrams. We have to take it and leave this place,” was Boris’
solemn reply
Nodding vigorously, Galen agreed. “All right!”
Meanwhile, Jared ignored all the jeers and picked up the coin. He rubbed it between his fingers to
extinguish the fire and calmly pocketed it.
“Mr. Yonce, please bring the Disc of Eight Trigrams over so we can test if it’s truly just a useless pieces
of wood.”
Jared stared straight at Boris, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.However, Boris picked up the Disc of Eight Trigrams and rejected, “Let’s just end this silly argument.
I’m tired of debating about whether this disc is a talisman or a useless piece of wood. I’m sure
everyone present knows that each talisman has a lifespan. Every time you activate its array, it’ll use up
the energy contained within the talisman. I don’t want to waste this precious energy on a senseless
argument!”
“Plus, I can’t risk it being touched by inexperienced hands. What if it gets broken or burnt? It’ll be a sad
loss for everyone! After all, a high-end talisman like this is hard to come by. As for the bet, I’ll just let it
slide. It is what it is, and it’s up to you to believe it or not!”
novelbinWith those words, Boris hastily kept the Disc of Eight Trigrams out of everyone’s sight.
The crowd was puzzled by the turn of events. Mr. Yonce was demanding the kid to prove himself just
now, so why is he suddenly backing out?
Could it be that Jared is right and that the Disc of Eight Trigrams is nothing but a piece of rotten wood?
At this moment, Sean chimed in, “Mr. Yonce is right. The talisman’s energy is not limitless, and it’ll be a
tragedy if it gets ruined at the hands of someone incompetent. Regardless, I want that Disc of Eight
Trigrams!”
Sean’s proclamation snapped everyone back to their senses. However, the crowd was less rowdy, as
the disc had lost its appeal. They were worried about spending a fortune on a counterfeit.
“Everyone, the kid made a good point just now. Every talisman was once an ordinary object before it
was injected with an array. If not for the Array of Eight Trigrams, the Disc of Eight Trigrams is indeed
just a piece of wood. But now, not only does it have the Array of Eight Trigrams, but I have also planteda geomancy array. I promise that anyone who basks in the array will live a long and prosperous life,”
Boris hurriedly added when he noticed the crowd’s lukewarm attitude toward the disc.
The tactic worked like a charm. In an instant, everyone’s eyes lit up with greed. Even if it really is just a
piece of wood, it’ll turn into a treasure once Mr. Yonce Injects the geomancy array!
Galen and Boris shared a knowing look as the crowd grew enthusiastic. The feeling of absolute triumph
bubbled up within them.
“Mr. Zane, since the object belongs to you, you can call out a price!” Sean prompted.
Jared, who was just about to rebut Boris’ claims, stopped himself when he caught sight of Sean’s eager
expression. Since these people are so willing to be scammed, then I’ll leave them be!
“All right, since you’ve all witnessed the power of the Disc of Eight Trigrams, then I’ll start with a
hundred million! This auction will only allow a minimum increment of ten million, and the highest bidder
will obtain the item!” Galen announced with a raised finger.
