Maria sighed, defeated, as she looked at the three nearly spent sticks of sandalwood. With a puzzled expression, she said to Jagoan, “You can predict how we can counter them… Who are they?”

Jagoan shook his head. “I can’t quite comprehend it. It’s like having a glimpse from God’s perspective.”

As he spoke, he strolled through the main hall, heading toward the backyard to investigate. Yet, a wooden door at the rear of the main hall caught his attention.

Carefully, he opened the door and discovered a small room about five or six square meters in size. A swift scan revealed that the room held little aside from a plain wooden chair and a small wooden table measuring less than half a meter in width. The room emitted a unique, invigorating aroma.

Upon closer inspection, Jagoan noticed a string of bracelets on the table, their color closely resembling that of the wooden table itself.

The bracelet was made up of wooden beads about a centimeter in diameter, dark brown in various shades, gleaming and exuding a robust woody fragrance. Placed at the center of the table, the bracelet appeared deliberately left behind.

Jagoan stepped forward and picked up the bracelet, sensing the warm texture of each bead. Given its lightness and distinctive fragrance, Jagoan speculated that it was made of agarwood.

At that moment, Maria entered the room, surprised. “Where did the Young Master get this agarwood bracelet?”

Jagoan turned to her, smiling. “I found it on this table.”

Curious, Maria approached and asked, “Young Master, may I examine it?”

Jagoan nodded and handed her the agarwood bracelet.

Maria delicately held the bracelet, examining it with fascination. “This is the best type of agarwood, and it’s an antique Hainan. It’s an exceptional piece. Unlike anything I’ve ever seen.”
