Chapter 416 Is This The Spiritual Stone
“I-Is this the spiritual stone?” Jared’s eyes widened in utter disbelief.
When Jared picked up the stone, he closed his eyes and tried to sense it again. Yet, he found that there was no
more spiritual energy surging within the stone.
With the stone in hand, Jared asked Isaiah excitedly, “Where did you get this stone from?”
However, Isaiah merely scoffed in response and ignored his question.
Isaiah’s silence prompted Jared to grab him by the collar. “Hey, where did you get this stone from?” Jared
demanded again.
Immediately, a flash of anger flitted across Isaiah’s face. In the blink of an eye, his bodyguards rushed forward.
Upon seeing this, Dominic dashed forward to ease the tension.
“Mr. Chance, what’s the matter?” In a haze of panic, Dominic yanked Jared away from Isaiah. “Mr. Ferguson, please
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtforgive his actions. Mr. Chance must have gotten worked up after he saw the quality of the stones,” Dominic said
apologetically.
Isaiah snorted, “Hmph! For Dominic’s sake, I’ll spare this insolent brat.” With a wave of his hand, the guards
surrounding him retreated.
At the same time, Jared recollected himself and regained his composure.
“Mr. Chance, is the stone you’re holding a gemstone?” Dominic asked when he noticed the egg-sized stone in
Jared’s grip.
“No, this isn’t a gemstone.” Jared shook his head. “There’s something unique about this stone. Did you get it from
Mount Hickoria?” he asked.
“That’s right. Judging from the stone’s color and shape, it must have originated from Mount Hickoria. Nevertheless,
the stone in your possession is a rare find. Even if there’s something in it, it wouldn’t be worth much. It’s too small!”
Dominic explained.
Jared merely offered him a small smile and said nothing more. Dominic has no idea how important this stone is to
me!
“I should visit Mount Hickoria when I have the chance. I might be able to find more spiritual stones there…” Jared
mumbled under his breath.
Ten minutes later, Benjamin exclaimed excitedly, “This Hickoria stone is of the highest grade quality. Judging from
how clear its emerald color appears, you wouldn’t be disappointed by its results if you open it up.”
Upon hearing this, Dominic dashed over. “Mr. Patterson, are you sure there will be jewels in these stones?”
“Of course, come and take a look!” Benjamin shone his torch on the stone, illuminating the green shine within it.
Carefully, he tapped the stone with a small hammer to peel off its outer shell. Once it was removed, the color of the
Hickoria stone appeared even brighter.
The sight of the stone’s quality left Dominic overjoyed. I can’t believe there were such valuable stones amongst this
small batch. There’s bound to be more in the car. I’ve struck gold!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Mr. Patterson, thank you so much for your hard work. I will be sure to reward you handsomely. I’ll call you about it
later,” Dominic said excitedly.
Benjamin nodded in reply as he sat back down and relaxed. Just like that, I’ve bagged ten million in my pocket.
“Mr. Wagner, didn’t I tell you earlier? These Hickoria stones are one of a kind. You’d be sure to earn a large profit if
you buy it!” Isaiah said to Dominic.
Dominic grinned. “Mr. Ferguson, why don’t you name your price? How much for this entire batch of stone?”
“According to the rules, Hickoria stones are worth more than normal stones. Hence, I’ll sell this batch to you at
three hundred million. Don’t worry; you’ll be sure to regain the money as soon as you obtain a few imperial jades
from these stones. After all, Hickoria stones often have a higher chance of producing precious jewels.” As he spoke,
Isaiah extended three fingers.
Dominic hesitated for a brief moment before he glanced at Jared. Since the latter was a majority shareholder,
Dominic decided to ask for Jared’s opinion, “Mr. Chance, what do you think about this transaction?”
“These stones are nothing but rubbish. They are barely worth thirty million, let alone three hundred,” Jared replied
nonchalantly.
Benjamin, who’d just closed his eyes, jolted in shock when he caught wind of Jared’s bold statement.
