"Did you think you won''t look dumb doing this? No, it''d just make you look even dumber! Hahaha...


    Huh?"

    Sif suddenly stoppedughing when she saw it—the tiny sprout thaty in Frank''s palm after the hale


    pearl shattered.


    There was no doubting it. The sprout was growing inside the pearl!


    And though it was small, it was crystalline like a perfect gem. Its very shape was the work of a master


    craftsman, and the emerald luster was so bright that it hurt to stare at it for too long!


    Moreover, one could see the bright green sap flowing through the crystalline sprout and the abundant


    vigor it carried.


    Even an idiot would be able to see that it was special.


    "I-Isn''t that a Hale Marrow? Isn''t it just a legend?!" Tavis shrieked on top of his lungs after a brief


    moment of shock, not caring about saving Sif''s face just then.


    The auction hall was left in an uproar right then.


    "Hale Marrow? What is that?"


    "Shit, it''s the Hale Marrow! There''s only a fractional chance it''d grow in mountains filled with spiritrons!"


    "To think I''d set my eyes on one of Mother Nature''s treasures while I''m alive! I can die happy!"


    "Though it''s just a rumor, I heard that it doesn''t just promote longevity—it could also save you from the


    brink of death, and you''d feel so revitalized after that you could run marathons at full speed!"


    "Shit, for real? That''s just amazing!"


    "Haven''t you heard?! The chief of Cloudnine Sect himself ate one during his younger years. That''s how


    he grew to be so strong."


    "For real?"


    "Of course it''s real! Who could grow a herb within a rock?!"


    "It''s a priceless treasure in the most genuine sense! What luck does the kid have?!"


    "Buying a Hale Marrow for only 200 million? I would buy it for 20 billion if I had to!"


    The auction hall was left in chaos soon enough. Everyone present was gaping at the tiny green sprout


    in Frank''s hand, their greedy gazes almost piercing through it.


    Some were even ready to call in their men and make a grab for it!


    "H-How is that possible?" Sif murmured, dumbfounded.


    She had never heard of the Hale Marrow. However, she more or less got the idea that the tiny sprout in


    Frank''s palm was a priceless treasure, given how impressed everyone else was. It was a marvel in


    itself, while her Hyperion Root was underdeveloped—no, even if it was fully mature, the Hyperion Root


    still would notpare.


    And worst of all, her own family sold it to the Leaf family for two hundred thousand!


    It was a number that stung Sif even as her heart bled, and she started to feel faint and could copse


    at any moment.


    Her family had given off a priceless treasure to the Leaf family for nothing, only for Frank to take it from


    her as she watched!


    And Sif had to mock them just minutes ago—everything she said was now working against her as a


    proverbial p in the face!


    Why?! Why did no one in the Lionheart family recognize such a treasure while Frank could?!
