Chapter 213 Jade Plugs

Desmond replied weakly, "Isn't this a gift from King Vincent's father to him on his eighteen birthday? It's shaped like a gourd, which symbolizes luck. Every antique dealer knows that. Loser, are you trying to trick me? I'm not a fool!"

Everyone stared at Alex in confusion, especially the antique dealers who immediately knew this pendant was indeed worth millions.

Alex is outrageously greedy for refusing this valuable pendant, they mused.

As Desmond refused to give in, Alex shook his head and mocked, "You don't even know the difference between a gourd and a plug? Have you heard about the ancient saying, Jade allows you to attain immortality after death"?"

"Huh? Jade? Immortality after death?" Desmond echoed with confusion.

Alex shook his head. "You don't know about that? Then you should know what the Jade Plugs are, right?"

"Jade Plugs?" Desmond repeated foolishly.

He was a fan of antiques, but he didn't dedicate much time to study them. He'd only buy those antiques recommended by his friends and show them off to others.

"Fool!" Alex sneered. "The Jade Plugs are stuffed into a corpse's ears, nose, mouth, reproductive parts, and anus. A total of nine body orifices."

"Corpse?" Desmond's lips parted as he stared at Alex in disbelief.

He glanced at the jade pendant on his neck and felt the hairs on his body stand in fear.

Is this from a corpse? he thought, utterly horrified.

Alex continued taunting him, "Looks like you're clueless. This jade pendant of yours was used to plug the anus. Isn't it disgusting to have it hanging on your neck?"

Desmond was rendered speechless. He gazed at the jade pendant in his hand as disgust overwhelmed his entire being.

This jade pendant was stuffed in a corpse's anus? But I thought it was lucky and even hung it on my neck for three years!

I even bit on it playfully because I love it so much. Damn it, does that mean I tasted an ancient corpse's s**t?

Desmond hunched over and made a retching sound as that thought occurred to him.

The crowd who was craning their necks earlier immediately cast mocking looks at him.

Some were even ridiculing Desmond for paying so much for a piece of cursed jewelry.

Alex declared icily, "Since this jade pendant has been on the corpse for a long time, it is cursed and will bring bad luck to its owner!" He added, "If you continue to wear it, you'll die within one year. You're lucky enough because I saved you today. I don't think you'll be this lucky next time."

Upon hearing these words, the onlookers surrounding Desmond immediately inched away, afraid that his

bad luck would affect them.

Chapter 213 Jade Plugs

Even Vicks who was right beside him scrambled up and ran away.

+15 Bonus

Vicks wasn't a real expert and had survived by despicable means, but as he had come across tomb raiders previously, he knew Alex wasn't lying.

Desmond was shocked and met Alex's gaze stiffly.

He didn't doubt Alex at all because his previous prediction had come true.

"Sir, are you telling the truth?" Autumn piped up as she looked at Alex sternly. The Jones family had been really unlucky recently, but no one knew why. Hence, something occurred to her after hearing Alex's words.
