“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 cor. “Hey, where did you get this stone from?”
Jared demanded again.
Immediately, a sh 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 forgive 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 hisposure.
“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 exined.
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 minutester, Benjamin eximed 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,e 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!
“Mr. Patterson, thank you so much for your hard work. I will be sure to reward you handsomely. I’ll call
you about itter,” Dominic said excitedly.
Benjamin nodded in reply as he sat back down and rxed. 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?”
“ording 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 nced at Jared. Since thetter 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 nonchntly.
Benjamin, who’d just closed his eyes, jolted in shock when he caught wind of Jared’s bold statement.
