The Man’s Decree

“Fine. I don’t mind giving it to you for a look.” Lincoln was afraid that Kai would continue insisting that the watch was a knock-off if he refused to give it to him for a look, so he took it off and handed it to the man. Then, he asserted, “Many people are standing witness for me here! If you smash it, you’ve got to compensate me according to the original price!”

With that said, he was convinced that Kai wouldn’t dare smash it anymore. Without being weighed, it was also impossible to tell the authenticity of the gold watch. After all, it was a top-notch imitation, and only an expert appraiser could tell whether it was genuine at a single glance. He didn’t believe that Kai could discern that.

Kai took the watch from him. After fiddling with it for a while, he handed it back to the man.

“That’s it? You can tell whether it’s the real deal with just a look?” Lincoln regarded him with puzzlement written all over his face even as he took his watch back.

“Yes, I only needed to take a single look.” Kai nodded firmly.

“Hmph! How ridiculous!” Snorting, Lincoln slipped his watch back onto his wrist.

Just as everyone was waiting for Kai to come up with the proof, Michelle abruptly shrieked, “Lincoln, q-quick, look at your watch!”

Startled, Lincoln hastily swung his gaze to his watch, only to be wholly stumped.
