"You're too kind, Miss Summers." Leon frowned and refrained from leaving. Though Lucian was rude and Leon disliked his arrogant attitude, Shally treated him with kindness and he had a good impression on her. Since Shally apologized sincerely, Leon could not bring himself to leave and out of respect for her, he decided to simply ignore Lucian and returned to his seat. "Mister Wolf, what are you looking for here?" Shally relaxed and asked. "Oh, I need eighteen clear jadeites and a larger high-quality clear jadeite that weighs at least three kilograms," Leon said. An Energy Gathering Circle and an Energy Convergence Circle were different. Though both required eighteen pieces of jadeite, the requirement for the centerpiece was different. Energy Convergence did not call for high-quality jadeite so long as the size was appropriate. An Energy Gathering Circle, however, needed to gather the spiritual energy from the mountain and direct it to the mansion. Hence, the requirement fo
"I'm not kidding. Miss Summers, I understand that larger piece of clear jadeite is hard to find, but I'm hoping that you can find one for me. So long as the price isn't ridiculous, I can accept it," Leon said. He knew that clear jadeites could be easily bought and it was not challenging for him to purchase eighteen clear jadeites here or in other stores. However, ones of bigger sizes were hard to come by and one could only happen upon it by luck. Meanwhile, the Summers were jadeite merchants with many stores apart from the Treasure Hunt. If Shally agreed to help, it would make finding the larger jadeite easier than him going from store to store himself. This was precisely why he asked for her help. Otherwise, he would have simply purchased over the counter or headed to other larger stores instead of troubling Shally. "What?" Shally and Lucian were both shocked. Though the Summers had a net worth of billions, most of their wealth remained in the form of real estate, and havi
"What do you want, then?" Leon frowned. "It's simple. If you want these jadeites, pat first. I want to see if you have that much money or if you're just bluffing!" Lucian sneered and looked at Leon like he was a fool, certain that Leon was just bluffing. "Why you!" Leon's expression darkened. In any business, the exchange of money and goods were always conducted at the same time. At the moment, Leon did not even see the actual commodities and was already being demanded to pay. This was completely out of line. Ever since he met Lucian, Lucian was rude and arrogant in his words. Even someone as good-tempered as Leon was enraged. "Lucian, shut it! If you keep acting rude to Mister Wolf, I'll make you pay for it!" Before Leon could react, Shally reprimanded Lucian. Though she did not think Leon had such a large sum of money as well, that was not the main focus. Leon came to their store to shop out of goodwill and she could understand if Lucian demanded for a deposit if he
At the counter, Shally ordered two saleswomen to take out all clear jadeites from the stock house and the display shelves for Leon to pick. Leon fired up his spiritual energy and soon selected eighteen pieces that were suitable for his purpose. "Alright, I'll take these eighteen!" Leon said. "What?" Both Shally and Lucian were shocked. Clear jadeites were rare and expensive, so they did not have many stock in the store. When customers purchase such expensive products, they often care more about the craftsmanship. Hence, the ones that were not picked were mostly jadeites carved in accordance to outdated styles. Yet, Leon did not seem bothered by that at all and most of the jadeites he selected were old products. This caught the two of them by surprise. "Mister Wolf, are you sure? To tell you the truth, a lot of these styles are outdated. Maybe you should spend more time to go through your option. Don't worry. We have branches in other areas. If you can't find what you li
"What? Thirty percent off? Why would you give him such a big discount? Have you gone mad?" Lucian was shocked. Though the profit was rather high for antique and jadeites, glass jadeites were hard to come by and one could earn double the amount by selling these. By offering Leon thirty percent off, Shally cut off sixty percent of the store's profit. After deducting the labor fee and store expenses, the profit would be further cut down. Such a big discount would cost the store at least 9 million worth of profit and that was a considerable amount. Lucian was not about to accept this. "I'm not mad. Lucian, I'll repeat this one last time. I'm the one in charge here and I know what I'm doing. You don't get to tell me what to do!" Shally said coldly. "I-" Lucian paled and was displeased by her attitude. Still, she was the eldest unwed daughter of the first bloodline and was responsible for managing the family business, so he could not dispute much when she was determined to give
"Miss Summers, I still need a bigger glass jadeite. I'll leave it to you. I hope you'll find one soon," Leon reminded. Now that he gathered eighteen glass jadeites, he needed a bigger one for the Energy Gathering Circle. Still, big glass jadeites were hard to come by and he had no channels to obtain jadeites, so he could only leave it in Shally's hands. "Don't worry, Mister Wolf. I'll do my best and try to get you the clear jadeite within three days. Once we find it, I'll inform you right away," Shally said. "Sure. It's a deal, then. Miss Summers, if that's all, I'll leave now." Leon said and was prepared to leave with Cynthia and the others. In the next moment, something unexpected happened. Just then, a man in his fifties hurried over to the counter. He was none other than the manager of the store, and one of the relatives of the Summers. "Miss, there's a merchant here saying that he has a big glass jadeite that he wishes to sell to us. He is asking if we are willing
"Hello, Miss Summers," Mister Negus greeted politely. "Mister Negus, nice to meet you." Shally smiled. As the person in charge of the store, Shally knew quite a lot about the industry and Mister Negus was a rather famous merchant. Though the two never worked together before, both Shally and Lucian heard about Mister Negus. "Miss Summers, I came because there's an excellent piece of jadeite that I wish to sell to you. Will you be willing to buy it?" Mister Negus cut to the chase. "Mister Negus, where is this jadeite? Please let me have a look," Shally said. "Sure," Mister Negus said and waved his hand at one of the guards, who placed a beautiful box on the table before Shally and the others. As the box opened, a clear piece of jadeite was revealed. It looked to be weighing two to three thousand grams with not a single hint of impurity inside. "It's magnificent indeed. This has to be clear jadeite or even better!"Shally immediately identified that this was a clear jadei
"Who would've thought that this is a Dragon Jade?" Snapping out of it, Leon fired up his spiritual energy to sense the energy within it but was slightly taken aback. Though the spiritual energy within the jadeite was pure, it felt similar to the green jadeite he purchased in the western region. When compared to the imperial green and purple jadeites he obtained from rock gambling, this Dragon Jade would fall short. "That's strange. What's going on?" Leon was slightly confused. He thought that Dragon Jade was of higher quality than imperial green and purple jadeites, so the spiritual energy within it should be higher. Yet, this jadeite before him did not contain purer energy than imperial green and purple jadeites. Leon was baffled, but he never saw a Dragon Jade before and did not know much about it. Hence, he assumed this was just an ordinary Dragon Jade and thus to disappointing quality of its energy. This seemed to be the only possible explanation. "Mister Negus, are y
