The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5550

Zachary dug out the three magical instruments that Charlie had given him from the smelly soil next to the latrine using a shovel in his hand.

These three magical instruments had been buried together with the rotten and smelly pig offal for two days. There was a pungent smell as soon as the magical instruments were dug out.

Zachary pinched his nose and picked out the three magical instruments from the soil, then carefully brushed the dirt around the magical instruments with a soft brush and wiped them carefully with a dry towel. He then held the magical instruments under his nose and smelled them vigorously.

By this time, the fishy smell of blood had faded a lot. According to Zachary’s previous experience of selling antiques, this smell was very close to the smell of a new jade dug out from new tombs.

Objects from new tombs, especially jade objects that were buried close to the body, would typically have a faint fishy odor for a period of time after they had been dug out from the ground no matter how they had been cleaned. This odor even occurred after they were unearthed and would still carry a faint residue even after a year. Ordinary people might not be able to smell anything, but people like Zachary who often dealt with antiques could tell the difference with just a sniff.

The two pieces of jade were originally old items with a long history. Now that they had this smell, anyone who knew art and antiques would conclude that these items came from a new tomb.

After making sure that everything was fine, Zachary hurriedly drove back to the city and headed directly to Antique Street.

Zachary thought to himself, ‘When I was swindling people in Antique Street, all of you looked down on me and despised me. You would always yell and call me Zachary by name all day long, but all of you have started addressing me respectfully as Mr. Zachary now that I’m working for Don Albert.’

As Zachary thought of this, he forced a laughter twice and said to the people who were gathered around him, “To be honest with you, I’m no longer working for Don Albert now.”

“What?!” The man who had just addressed him as Mr. Zachary enthusiastically just now asked immediately, “Zachary, you’ve been doing well by working for Don Albert, so why would you stop working for him so suddenly?”
