A tall mountain surrounded by a billow of clouds was carved on the token.
Jerry casually flipped the token to the other side and saw the words ‘Mount Everest Sword Association’
printed in gold.
Lifting his brows, he looked at the uninvited guest and asked, “What do you want, sir? If you’d like to
sell it, please send it to the stage before the auction is over.”
The young man paused and remained silent for a moment before he waved his hand and said in a
deep voice, “You’ve mistaken me. I’m not here to sell the token, but I have a favor to ask.
“I don’t intend to do you a favor.” Jacob placed his right hand on the case with a nonchalant look.
The young man was startled as he didn’t expect such a response from Jacob.
Thereafter, he regained his composure and said seriously, “The ancient sword in the case was the
master sword of our sword association five hundred years ago. Around a hundred years ago, it was lost

Jerry cast a glance at the young man and blurted, “You found it? Excuse me, sir. We spent fifty million
to bid this sword. Why are you here telling us about your prehistoric story?”
“Of course, we’re not the unreasonable kind.” The young man waved his hand.
He turned his head to look toward Table No.21 and nodded at the guests at that table before retracting
his gaze and continuing with a solemn expression, “This bronze sword is very important to our sword
association. As soon as we received the news, my senior and I rushed here immediately. But alas, we
didn’t bring enough money with us because we only got the news last minute.”
Seeing Heidi yawn, Jacob became impatient.
Noticing Jacob’s expression, Jerry interrupted the young man and said, “Get to your point.”
“Four million!” The man held up four fingers. “Besides, we, the Mount Everest Sword Association, owe
you a favor. Please give us the ancient sword.”
“Four million and a favor? Do you think we need that money? As for your favor…” Jerry smirked and
shook his head with a haughty expression. “We don’t need it.”
It’s so hard to negotiate with them! The young man frowned in distress.
The middle-aged man at Table No.21 who was the companion of this young lad could not sit back
anymore. While the auctioneer was introducing the other items passionately, he left his seat and strode
toward Jacob’s table.
“Hi, everyone.” The middle-aged man sat down and posed a courteous gesture to Jacob and the
others. Then, he introduced himself in a sonorous voice. “I’m Ludwig Juan from Mount Everest Sword
Association. This is my junior, Krish Zelda. I apologize for interrupting you abruptly.”
Heidi frowned upon seeing the two strangers and subconsciously hid behind Jacob to avoid the two
men.
Noticing Heidi’s movement, Jacob knitted his brows and caressed Heidi’s head before saying to Ludwig

“I guess you guys were not born and raised in Paramount.” Ludwig’s eyes glowed as he stared at
Jacob.
Otherwise, you would have heard of the famous Mount Everest Sword Association. Nevertheless, a
self-righteous man like Ludwig wouldn’t possibly say it out loud.
Not born and raised in Paramount? Is the past two decades of our lives in Paramount an illusion?
Moria and Jonah exchanged glances.
Ludwig became more confident upon perceiving the subtle change in the expression of Moria and
Jonah. Then, he reached out his right hand and pointed his slender index finger at a plate of fruits on
the table.
A mysterious surge of force traveled through the air and formed a finger-sized hole on a fist-sized apple
on the fruit platter.
With that, a rich apple aroma spread in the air.
