Basil Jaak's gaze had been fixed on the box, and upon hearing Dick's words, he paused for a moment without immediately responding.
As Basil Jaak seemingly casually glanced at Dick, noticing no treachery in his eyes, he made a swift judgment: Dick was not testing him, he really wanted him to take the two national treasures over for inspection.
"These two items seem quite peculiar, they don't look like forgeries. However, the luster on them is strangely eerie..."
Basil Jaak spoke softly, reaching out to take the iron box.
Upon closer inspection, the box was radiating light, and even Basil Jaak, who was no expert in antiques, could tell at a glance that they were genuine!
Having taken it, Basil Jaak naturally had no intention of giving it back!
He pretended to examine it while surreptitiously casting a sidelong glance at Yetta Astir, who immediately understood without needing further explanation.
