Chapter 1024


    Finn immediately went to speak to the chiefborer upon hearing


    that. “Have everyone take a paid day off today, Woods. Come back


    tomorrow!”


    Since Finn had been helping out at the Long Lake Industrial Zone the past few days, Sydney had given


    Finn the right to make the final call when it came to decisions regarding the construction site.


    Hence, the workers here all knew who he was.


    Woods was overjoyed to hear it would be a paid day off. He immediately nodded and said, “Thank you,


    Mr. Carter!”


    Then, he bellowed to the rest that they would be taking a paid day off


    Finn then asked, “Are the tiny stones from yesterday still here?”


    Finn initially had no idea these stones could be used for cultivatio purposes and hence had only


    brought a few pieces home.


    He had spent most of yesterday celebrating Yoyo’s birthday and had only found outter that evening


    that the stones could be used for


    cultivation purposes.


    Today, he excitedly shared that news with Nash.


    Woods’ eyes darted about in thought before he smiled and said, “Yes, they are. But the kids of the


    construction workers seem to have taken


    a liking to them!”


    The stones they excavated yesterday seemed special.


    Finn took some away with him yesterday, and he returned today to ask about them again. That meant


    there was something special


    about those stones.


    It would not be too much to ask for some payment in exchange for


    those stones, right?


    “I want all of the stones. I’ll pay a thousand dors for each one!”


    Nash strode over.


    Woods was stunned. “Who is this?”


    Finn introduced him, “This is Nash Calcraft. He’s the founder of


    Southern Heavens Pharmaceuticals!”


    Woods drew in a sharp intake of breath.


    Southern Heavens Pharmaceuticals was a project that both Sydney


    and Queenie were prioritizing. Rumor had it that several million


    dors had been spent on that project alone.


    He had thought thatpany belonged to either the Zell or the Watson families. Never did he imagine


    that the man standing before


    him was the person behind everything.


    However, why was he purchasing these odd little stones at such a


    high price?


    “Greetings, Mr. Calcraft. These tiny stones aren’t worth that price. If you’re interested, I’ll make sure


    you get them-even if it means I’ll


    have to rip them from the children’s hands!”


    Woods nced at Nash carefully as he spoke.


    Nash did not detect any ulterior motives and merely said calmly, “800


    for each!”


    A startled expression appeared on Woods’ face.


    He should be increasing the price. Why was he decreasing it instead?


    Finn grabbed Woods by the cor and said frostily, “Who do you think you are? Everything that’s


    excavated from the Long Lake Industrial Zone rightfully belongs to us.


    “Nash is only paying you because he knows how hard the workers work. Did you really think we’d be


    that easy to fool?”


    Woods gulped. “I’m not an idiot either, Mr. Carter. I’m sure these stones aren’t worth that price. Who


    knows, I might be able to get an even better price if I have them appraised by an external party!”


    Wealth belonged to those who were willing to take risks.


    After working the past dozen years as a chiefborer, he had witnessed plenty of simr incidents


    A murderous look appeared in Finn’s eyes as he lifted Woods right the ground. “Do you have a death


    wish…”


    Woods’ eyes widened when he realized how strong Finn was.


    “Finn…”


    Nash nced at Finn.


    Finn huffed before throwing Woods back onto the ground,


    Nash smiled coolly. “1,200 dors. This is yourst chance!”


    All businessmen, were evil.


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    It was only natural that the chiefborer raised his prices without a


    moment’s hesitation.


    Nash was worried that someone else would recognize the stones for what they were if he took them


    elsewhere.


    If that happened, the entire Long Lake Industrial Zone would no


    longer know peace.


    Spiritual stones was a priceless treasure in today’s times.


    If they were put up for auction, the Mystique Loyalty Realm experts


    would no doubt fight over them like crazy.


    1,200 dors would mean nothing then because those experts would


    not hesitate to pay even a million.


    Woods’ back was covered in ayer of cold sweat. He knew he could


    not try to pull any more tricks.


    A fawning smile appeared on his face as he said, “1,200 dors i


    then. I’ll get all the rocks to you immediately!”


    When he finished his sentence, he immediately hurried toward an unmanned factory in the industrial


    zone.


    Finn said in a lowered voice, “Nash, we can’t let people like him do as they please!”


    He knew how valuable spiritual stones were.

    However, they were nothing more than ordinary stones when in the hands of ordinary people like him.


    One thousand dors was equivalent to several days’ worth of pay to


    them.


    Nash smiled indifferently. “Why cause more issues when this can be settled using money?”


    About ten minutester, Woods hurried over with a shopping bag in


    his hands.


    “36 stones!”


    “That will be 43,200 dors!”


    Woods grinned as he spoke to Nash


    Finn took his phone out and transferred the money over.


    Once the transaction wasplete, Woods handed the shopping bag


    to Nash.
