Edmund furrowed his brow slightly, revealing his discontent.
“Mr Joyce, are you aware of who Mike is? He is a dedicated antique dealer. He has amassed numerous antiques in Jingmen, ultimately smuggling them abroad through various underground channels. This is a well-known secret in the antiquities circle of Jingmen...”
I observed that Mike indeed had a thick skin.
Despite Edmund’s words, he merely stood by, grinning foolishly without engaging in the conversation.
However, I knew he was far from foolish; after all, how else could a foreigner thrive in the antique trade?
Joyce remained unfazed, a sly smile spreading across his face as he replied, “Hehe, Edmund. I don't quite understand what you’re saying. I’m just a small-time antique dealer—whoever offers the highest price, that’s who I will sell to...”
Edmund’s expression shifted, the displeasure evident in his gaze directed at Joyce.
