Miracle Pill Maker Bullies the Boss - Chapter 1870 - 1870 Fake Jade
1870 Fake Jade
King opened the box and looked at it intently. Then, he reached his hand out to retrieve the jade pendant.
The white jade looked translucent under the light and did not contain the slightest impurity. Before long, he could feel the warm sensation coming from it.
Just based on the jade quality alone, it was undoubtedly high quality, but…
King placed the jade pendant back inside the box. He looked at Shangguan Hou deeply. “Are you sure this is the key that will activate the time travel tunnel?”
Shangguan Hou nodded with a firm look on his face. “I got this piece of jade from Shangguan Yu, so it must be legit.”
He had the opportunity to get his hands on it after abducting Shangguan Yu’s schoolmates.
Although things did not go as planned and he was unable to capture Shangguan Yu, he was still able to get the piece of jade. It was not an entire loss.
King could tell from the look on Shangguan Hou’s face that he was not lying. He narrowed his eyes and simply said, “This jade looks no different from any other warm jade. What kind of special effect does it have?”
Shangguan Hou was not sure of the answer either. After some time, he replied, “To be honest, I have never seen the time travel tunnel either, so I don’t know what this piece of jade can do.”
King put down the box in his hands and spoke in an ambiguous tone, “Has it ever dawned on you that this might be fake?”
“Fake?” Shangguan Hou was stunned. After gathering his thoughts, he simply assumed that King thought he was patronizing him with a fake piece of jade. He quickly said, “I genuinely took this piece of jade from Shangguan Yu. It’s legit.”
“Even though you took it from her, it doesn’t mean it’s real,” continued King with a mysterious look on her face.
Shangguan Hou was even more lost. “Why do you think this is fake?”
Didn’t he know the Shangguan clan the best?
Why was King acting as though he knew more about the clan?
As these doubts emerged in Shangguan Hou’s mind, he automatically glanced at King’s face.
He could not detect anything amiss.
King did not take Shangguan Hou’s looks to heart. He simply said, “The material seems ordinary. Also, judging from its texture, it doesn’t seem very old. Instead, it looks pretty new.”
Hearing this, Shangguan Hou took a couple of steps forward, picked up the jade again, and scrutinized it.
Before long, he also noticed something wrong with the jade.
This piece of jade genuinely did not look very old.
Shangguan Hou’s face instantly looked angry. His suspicion about King promptly dissipated. “This jade… I was careless.”
Also, he should not have managed to steal it from her so easily.
Damn it!
Shangguan Hou tightened his fists as a vicious aura emanated from him.
King glanced at him. “Shangguan Yu isn’t stupid. I would be more surprised if you could take something from her.”
Shangguan Hou was overwhelmed with fury, so he failed to pay attention to King. He simply gnashed his teeth and said, “Don’t worry. She can’t escape me anymore.”
His little pet loved Shangguan Yu’s scent. No matter how far, he could find her.
“It’s not a big problem.” King looked particularly calm. A thought swept through his mind before he said, “Perhaps it’s time we pay a visit to the Shangguan clan.”
Shangguan Hou hastily raised his head.
King spoke softly, “After all, I’ve been waiting too long.”
He did not want to wait anymore.

She had made plans to meet Cool Autumn.
When she got to the agreed location, he was already there.
