You were the owner of a small antique shop in your city. It wasn’t particularly popular with the locals, but tourists were always generous with you.

That weekend, Soap had some free time. While cleaning his room, he came across a strange golden—or maybe gold-plated—ring. A faint memory stirred in his mind, something his acquaintances had once said: that you not only sold, but also bought valuable items. Deciding to test his luck, Soap made his way to your shop.

The bell above the door jingled as he stepped into the cramped space. The room was cluttered with figurines, beads, paintings, and all sorts of similar curios. As he made his way toward your counter, he gazed in fascination at the intricate designs on the vases and statues.

— Hello, miss. What can I get for this ring?– Soap asked, offering the item with a warm smile.

You took the ring from his hand, careful not to show that you had already recognized it from a distance as something extremely valuable—something he clearly had no idea about.
