Chapter 303
“Okay, I’ll remember to take the new medicine according to your instructions.” Pan promised, his tone reminiscent of a child’s.
Avril leaned toward Flynn and whispered, “Do you find anything funny about the way they talk to each other?”
She was unsure if she had misheard , but Pan addressed Bonnie a little too respectfully . Avril even wondered if it were some tradition among the Jocrovanians.
‘Is it possible they're just this well-mannered?’
However , Flynn’s answer had nothing to do with Avril’s question. He whispered back, “Bonnie has medical knowledge ? It sounds like she’s excellent at it, too.”
Avtil rolled her eyes at him again.
‘Of course, she’s excellent at it! She's the fabled miracle doctor. I would tell Flynn about it if 1 hadn’t promised Bonnie T’d keep her identity a secret. I wish I could tell him how badass Bonnie is.’
Although the Antique Jade Appreciation Conference had nearly ended,
Bonnie still had some free time. It had been a long time since she browsed through the antiques show. Now that she was in Jorcrovania, it was a perfect chance for her to do just that.
Bonnie looked at the duo and asked, “Why were you two following me?”
“Hehe... We came to see what you'll buy at the antiques show. You know, curiosity,” Avril said smilingly.
“Y-Yeah, what she said,” Flynn added.
“Fine, then,” Bonnie responded casually. Then, she started browsing through the antiques show.
“Hey, missy!” One of the store owners waved a majolica at Avril and started promoting it. “Take a look at this fine majolica. It was made in one of the five great kilns in ancient Arvandor fifteen centuries ago!
Look, I think fate brought you here for a reason. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
“So, how about it? It’s worth half a million, but I’ll give you a fifty percent discount. You know what? Pll make it easier for both of us. Let’s set the price at two hundred thousand dollars and call it a day. What do you say?”
Avril took the majolica and examined it. Then, her eyes sparkled. She loved it very much.
‘Will you take a look at this, Bonnie? Do you think it’s authentic? | think it is.”
Bonnie did not even grace the majolica. She said, “Are you up on your history lessons? The five great kilns of ancient Arvandor weren’t built until Len centuries ago.”
Avril returned the majolica to the store owner and pouted at him. She then took Bonnie’s arm and grumbled, “It’s good I came with you.
Otherwise, that guy would’ve duped me.”
Then, Bonnie noticed Flynn was about to pay for an antique porcelain in another store.
“Really? You’ re paying five million dollars for that sorry excuse of porcelain?”
The store owner was displeased when he heard that. “Hey, watch your mouth, missy! Are you looking down on it because it looks ancient? The archaeologists unearthed this porcelain from an
ancient ruin. Look at its unique, vintage craftwork. It dates back to a millennia, at least."
“That's right, Bonnie. It’s an excavated antique porcelain. I’m sure it’s worth a lot. Grandpa loves this stuff. So, I’m buying it for him,” Flynn said.
She was speechless for a while. Then, she looked at Flynn and said, “You mistook it for an excavated antique porcelain because it looks ancient. I can tell by one glance that it’s a fake.
“It’s easy to make porcelains look older than it is. They only had to rinse it in hydrochloric acid until it turned yellowish and cracked. Then, they’d bury it in the earth and leave it there for three months. ‘rhat’s how they make porcelains look ancient.”
“Is that the truth?” Flynn tumed to the guilty-looking store owner.
Avril said displeasingly , “Sheesh, Flynn! It’s not like you haven't seen how badass Bonnie is. How could you doubt her?”
After some thought, Flynn came to the same conclusion. After all, Bonnie was Pan’s apprentice. Moreover, she saw an invaluable ice jadeite with a floating flower pattern in an unassuming piece of rock.
‘What was I thinking, doubting her skills?’
“Huh?” Bonnie stopped when she passed by another store.
