Chapter 1612: Chapter 1611: Quiet Dance

The long-bearded Daoist priest, upon hearing that Peter Brown was still unwilling to part with the item, looked at Peter and said, "This is a token of inheritance from our Daoist tradition. It’s useless in your hands; only in ours does it have value. Moreover, having it is only inviting disaster."

Peter Brown smiled and asked, "May I know which Daoist faction you belong to?"

"We are from Green Sunshine Mountain."

"I know an old lay practitioner; he told me he likes such items. I bought it to give to him. He is from Mount Purple Sun."

As Peter Brown spoke, he observed the expression of the long-bearded Daoist priest, and as expected, he saw the priest’s face change.

Seeing this, Peter understood that the item indeed held great value for them.

"500,000! Consider it a huge favor you’d owe me, William Carter!"

The long-bearded Daoist priest’s eyes fixed intently on Peter Brown.

It was clear that he even harbored some murderous intent.

Peter Brown had already figured that the item might genuinely be problematic and was only using this to drive the price up.

After thinking it over, he said, "500,000 is definitely too little. What’s the highest you can go? If it’s reasonable, I’ll sell it to you then."

William Carter hesitated before saying, "I really don’t have that much money. How about this, I have a Breath-adjusting Technique, a Foundation Establishment Technique, that I’ll give to you. What do you think?"

"That works."

Peter Brown could tell, this man really was out of money.

When Peter Brown genuinely agreed to sell, William Carter’s eyes lit up and he said, "That’s great. Consider that you have a favor from me, William Carter. Here’s my contact information; call me if you need anything."

To Peter’s surprise, the Daoist priest even knew how to do a cell phone bank transfer, and soon the 500,000 was transferred into Peter Brown’s bank account.

"Lay practitioner, goodbye."

William Carter hurriedly left.

Leah Nelson and the other girl were completely dumbfounded by what happened and stood there, not knowing what to say, just staring at Peter Brown.

After a while, Imogen Jones exclaimed in disbelief, "Is this for real?"

Leah Nelson was also shocked, "It must be fake, right?"

Peter Brown just smiled faintly; he hadn’t expected such an outcome either. The Breath-adjusting Technique was truly useless to him. He was just after the 500,000. He checked his text messages again and again, then verified the money in his bank account, and his face showed even more of a smile.

"Did you score another bargain?"

Peter Brown laughed heartily and said, "Sometimes, it really is all about luck, and when luck comes, you can’t even block it!"

"No way, you have to treat us!"

The two girls started shouting at Peter Brown.

Peter Brown also laughed, "No problem, just tell me what you want to eat; I’ve got the money!"

After returning to the office, the two girls instantly became volunteer promoters; soon enough, everyone knew about Peter Brown’s latest find.

Before long, their office was crowded with people, all asking about the lucky find.

The two beauties were even more excited than Peter Brown, fervently describing how he had bought the copper mirror and how he accidentally sold it.

Sitting there sipping his tea and listening to the two beauties excitedly recounting the story, Peter Brown secretly rejoiced; this time, he didn’t need to promote himself, and news of his new wealth was already spreading.

"Treat us!"

"Absolutely, you must treat us!"

Everyone suddenly started causing a ruckus, insisting that Peter Brown treat them to a meal.

"Fine, wherever everyone wants to eat is fine, I’ll treat everyone today."

Peter Brown also appeared generous, directly letting everyone pick the place.

After work, everyone went together to the restaurant, where today they ate some delicacies from mountain and wild, which were quite good for County Town. They used to be a bit expensive, and everyone rarely had them, but today Peter decided to treat everyone to a meal.

After the meal, they naturally went to sing karaoke.

Everyone was lively today, competing to sing songs.

Section Chief Alexander Greenhill sat next to Peter and whispered, "Mr. Williams is coming back to work, what do you think?"

Looking at Alexander Greenhill, Peter saw his worried expression and knew he was also concerned about this.

"There’s no way now; just do our own job well."

After drinking a big glass of wine, Alexander Greenhill said, "When he returns, there will be more trouble, he even talked last time about adjusting the middle management, it’s definitely going to happen this time!"

"Did Mr. Carter go to the provincial city?" Peter asked.

Alexander Greenhill nodded slightly and said, "He’s also in a hurry now."

While the two were talking, Leah Nelson came to ask Peter to dance.

Seeing Leah wearing white jeans today, Peter smiled and said, "I really can’t dance, don’t step on you again."

Leah, who had drunk quite a bit of wine, with a red face, grabbed Peter and said, "I’m not afraid, what are you afraid of?"

Peter had no choice but to follow her onto the dance floor.

As they danced, Leah guided Peter’s steps.

"Not bad!"

Seeing Peter had improved, Leah’s face broke into a smile.

"It’s all thanks to your good teaching." Peter also complimented.

Just then, some couple dancing behind them bumped into them, and this time it was Leah who got bumped from behind, which squeezed her close against Peter.

Her face turning red, Leah lowered her head, too shy to look at Peter.

The dance music flowed, and the two of them quietly danced on.

Unknowingly, Peter found Leah’s body pressing closer against him.

Could it be?

Upon realizing this, Peter started to comprehend that today’s event had some impact on this girl, making her become more proactive.

Looking down under the dim light, he saw in the haze the curves of her body, and he must admit, the beauty was alluring. Peter found his body reacting again, unconsciously shrinking back a bit.

But then, as he shrank back, he bumped into the person behind him.

In a panic, Peter again bumped into Leah, his face turning red.

Feeling Peter’s strong reaction, Leah’s face turned red and suddenly she looked up at Peter but did not retreat and quickly buried her head again.

However, this time their bodies didn’t move apart but stayed close, quietly feeling each other.

No one spoke, everyone acted as if nothing was happening. However, probably because everyone had drunk quite a lot, this subtle friction followed with the music occasionally occurring.
