The Legend of the Miracle Doctor

Chapter 39 The Shop Owner Who Replaced The Original Writing With Fake Writing

The next morning, after Brian went to the restaurant for breakfast with his mother, he went out to buy red paper and yellow paper, preparing to make some talismans. Nowadays, it's not easy to buy items like this in the city. Brian went from one store to another and finally found all the items at a painting and calligraphy store. After leaving the store, he saw a crowd of people across the street. Unconsciously, he had arrived at the largest antique market in Jasin City, Taman Harta. If he wanted to face evil creatures in the Xanadu Complex, using the power of his own talismans alone was not enough. It would be better if he could find a magical weapon that was easy to use. However, now is the era of technology, the number of cultivators is decreasing, and magical weapons are rare items that are seldom seen.Since he had now come to Taman Harta, he decided to enter and try his luck. It would be better if he could find one or two magical weapons. Thinking about this, Brian walked towards the antique market. As the saying goes, when the world is in chaos, it is better to buy gold; when a country is developing, antiques become valuable items. In recent years, the antique market in the archipelago has been very popular. Many people like to go there to see if they can find antiques at a cheap price. However, in recent years, TV stations have been launching programs called "Authenticity Identification of Antiques." Many people are eager to identify the authenticity of their antique chamber pots to see if there is hidden treasure in their homes. In such a situation, it is almost impossible to think of getting antiques at a cheap price. As he entered the antique market, Brian walked past each store one by one. His way of identifying the authenticity of items in the antique market was very simple, using spiritual awareness to observe was enough to know. Every authentic antique item has a different spiritual energy. The greater the spiritual energy, the older the item. Although there are many forgeries in the antique business, this spiritual energy cannot be faked by anyone. It can be said that the method of identifying the authenticity of the item is more accurate than carbon-14 dating. However, there are many scams in this antique market. Brian had already walked around part of the antique market and most of the items he found were fake. Although he also found some genuine items, their prices were very high and far exceeded their value. He entered another store, then looked around inside. Just as he was about to leave, a middle-aged man rushed into the store with a scroll of writing in his hand. This man wore glasses and looked educated. However, his face was now filled with anger.At first, Brian didn't care, he had no intention of watching the commotion. However, when he saw the scroll of writing in the hands of the middle-aged man, he immediately stopped in his tracks. The scroll emitted a very strong spiritual energy, just by looking at it, Brian knew it was not an ordinary item. The middle-aged man placed the scroll of writing in his hand on the counter angrily and shouted at the shop owner, "Sir, you are deceiving people, why did you secretly replace the scroll of writing that I bought?" The shop owner was a young man in his thirties, his body was skinny like a skinny monkey but he was wearing an oversized Islamic robe, looking very sloppy. His eyes were not big, and his eyeballs kept rolling, indicating that he was indeed a seller seeking unlawful profits. When the shop owner looked at the middle-aged man, his expression immediately changed, and he said, "Sir, what are you talking about?" "What am I talking about? I just bought Sultan Kusni's writing for 10 million, why is it different when I brought it home? You must have secretly swapped the writing I bought!" the middle-aged man said angrily. The shop owner smiled cynically, "You can eat anything, but don't talk nonsense. There are so many shops in Taman Harta, who knows where you bought it from." The middle-aged man said angrily, "Are you going to deny it? I clearly remember buying this writing from you." The shop owner said flatly, "So what if you bought it from my shop? After the transaction, the money cannot be returned, this is the rule in the antique market. You were not careful yourself, so you can't blame others." The middle-aged man said, "If I was not careful, I can only blame myself, but you clearly swapped my writing. I clearly chose Sultan Kusni's writing, but when I arrived home, the writing changed to Raden Agung's writing, what do you think happened?" The shop owner said flatly, "I can't count how many customers I've served today, I can't remember what writing you bought. Besides, Raden Agung is a great calligrapher in the Kingdom of Sanna. His writing is even older and more valuable than Sultan Kusni's writing, aren't you lucky? What are you here for?" The middle-aged man was so emotional that he trembled, he said angrily, "This writing is fake, I spent 10 million on a writing that is not even worth a million." The shop owner said, "Everything was agreed upon, buying real or fake depends on judgment, who are you going to blame when you didn't look carefully?" The middle-aged man became even more emotional, he said, "You... you scoundrel! Today I must get back the money from buying this writing, if not, I will not let you go." Brian understood the situation, the shop owner deceived the middle-aged man with genuine calligraphy, then played a trick to replace the original writing with a worthless fake and sold the fake writing for 10 million. The shop owner said irritably, "You are very annoying. At most, I can only refund one million. If you agree, take the money, if not, you can sue me." After saying that, the shop owner took out 10 sheets of one hundred thousand bills and placed them on the counter. "I can't, I clearly spent 10 million. If you don't want to refund it, I will report you to the police." "Report to the police? Who are you afraid of by reporting to the police?" the shop owner said with a cynical smile. "After the police come, what will you say? Do you think the police will believe that you bought Sultan Kusni's original work for 10 million? With just 10 million wanting to buy Sultan Kusni's work, who do you think you are to get an antique at a cheap price by just coming to the antique market once? If that was Sultan Kusni's original work, I wouldn't even sell it for a billion, what were you thinking?" "I..." The middle-aged man's face turned red. After rethinking, he could only hold back his anger. The shop owner's words were indeed true, even if he reported to the police, this issue could not be resolved.The middle-aged man could only admit that he was unlucky in despair, this was also because he was too greedy. How could he possibly buy Sultan Kusni's original work for 10 million? "I'm truly unlucky!" After saying that, the middle-aged man took the 10 sheets of one hundred thousand bills from the counter. It was better for him to lose a little money than to look at the fake calligraphy with regret. At that moment, Brian said, "Brother, can I borrow this writing to see? I really want Raden Agung's writing, if possible, sell it to me." "If you want, just take a look, but let me tell you first that this writing is fake," the middle-aged man said as he handed the scroll of writing to Brian. Brian took the scroll and slowly opened it, there were two lines written "do not chase fame and wealth, live a simple life to achieve your dreams", stamped with the name Raden Agung. However, the material of the paper was quite rough, even those who were not experts could tell that it was fake. When the shop owner saw Brian wanting to buy the calligraphy, he said, "I have many Raden Agung's writings in my shop, if you like his writing, any other choice would be much better than this one." "No need, I want this writing," Brian said as he handed 10 million to the middle-aged man, "Brother, I'm buying this writing, this 10 million is for you." Brian had just discovered the secret of this writing, its value could be ten times more than 10 million. Initially, Brian wanted to pay a higher price to the middle-aged man, but he was afraid of being seen as foolish, so he let it go. Moreover, there are rules in the world of antique trading. If it weren't for Brian, the middle-aged man would only be able to get a million, his loss would be even greater.
