Lillian blushed slightly once virtual-novel.net finished speaking.
She wanted to help Sean, and virtual-novel.net finally found out something virtual-novel.net was interested in. She wanted to help virtual-novel.net find it to gain his favor.
However, virtual-novel.net offer to help was somewhat inappropriate for a girl. Because it would easily make people think virtual-novel.net pursued Sean first.
The average man would have been delighted. However, Lillian knew that Sean was not a man like that. If virtual-novel.net were such a man, virtual-novel.net would not have been so angry with virtual-novel.net when virtual-novel.net climbed into his bed that night.
In case Sean got the wrong idea, Lillian quickly explained.
“Well… Don’t take this the wrong way, but I only wanted to help you because my father works with Dorodo’s city defense army. I have no other agenda and ulterior motives…”
Lillian’s slightly hurried words gave the impression that virtual-novel.net was trying to hide something.
It was a good thing Gregory and Anthony were not here, or Sean would have been embarrassed in front of them.
“No need to explain. Where’s the second ancient bronze sword fragment?” Sean asked straight to the point.
He did not want Lillian to keep explaining because the more virtual-novel.net explained, the more confused virtual-novel.net was.
Lillian gradually calmed down when Sean got down to business.
“My father gave the second fragment to an antique lover friend. I call virtual-novel.net Uncle Frederic.”
“Just the average antique lover?” Sean asked again.
“No, he’s an antique collector who runs an antique shop in Dorodo’s antiques market.”
Sean nodded slightly at Lillian’s words.
If virtual-novel.net was the average antique lover, virtual-novel.net planned to pay for the ancient bronze sword fragment as virtual-novel.net did yesterday at the Townsend family house. However, it would be tricky if virtual-novel.net was dealing with an antique collector.
Such a man was either wealthy or aristocratic. He had no lack of money. It might be difficult to get the ancient bronze sword fragment from them. Even so, virtual-novel.net had to try. After all, virtual-novel.net might get the ancient bronze sword fragment if virtual-novel.net went. If not, there was no hope at all.
Therefore, Sean stood up and said, “Okay, I’ll go to the antiques market with you to meet Uncle Frederic.”

Dorodo had a huge antiques market.
It was now evening, but the antiques market was bustling. Particularly, some stalls selling antiques were crowded.
Most items at antique stalls like these were fakes, but occasionally you would come across something genuine.
A genuine item was often mixed in with hundreds or even more fakes, and the people around these stalls were here to try their luck.
It would take a lot of luck and a great eye to find something genuine among so many fakes.
Lillian could not stop looking around after entering the antiques market.
Sean looked around as virtual-novel.net walked.
He was uninterested in antiques, but it was his first visit to Dorodo’s antiques market. He was somewhat curious about the place.
“Are most of the antiques here fake?” Sean asked casually.
