"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
"Miss, after our inspection, we find this piece of jade to be clear with defined textured. There isn't a single trace of impurity in it. It glows and is cold to the touch, which matches with the characteristics of a Dragon Jade. The three of us have concluded that this is likely a rare piece of Dragon Jade. However, it is just an ordinary Dragon Jade and not a high-quality one within its class," 赵大师 said. "So it is a Dragon Jade. That's wonderful!" Shally was overjoyed and revealed a big smile. In the past months, the Summers' competitors, the Nortons, targeted them cutting off their resources in the central region. This led to the decline in the Summers' business. Thankfully, Mister Negus came with a rare Dragon Jade and intended to sell it to them. With this as the centerpiece of the store, it would make Treasure Hunt famous and the Summers would benefit from it. Apart from that, she went to the northern region and found a new source of supply. With a new supply line an
"You don't need it? That's great!" Shally was relieved and turned back to Mister Negus. "Mister Negus, we are willing to take this Dragon Jade. Name your price.""Well, let's say 215 million," Mister Negus said thoughtfully. "215 million? That's not cheap!" Leon was slightly taken aback. Though he did not know much about the industry, he once obtained a large imperial purple jadeite when he was in the southern region. At the time, a few merchants tried to purchase it and even offered a price of 172 million. However, he needed the jadeite for his circle and did not sell it. The Dragon Jade before him was much smaller than the imperial purple jadeite he obtained and was about one-third of its size. Yet, Mister Negus demanded to charge 215 million, making it far more expensive than the imperial purple jadeite. "Mister Negus, don't you think that's too high a price? It's at least two to three times the price of imperial green or purple jadeites of the same size." Shally frow
"Hang on! I'll take that Dragon Jade!" Someone shouted. A young man in his late twenties strode into the store with two guards. "Marvin Norton. It's you!" Both Shally and Lucian were shocked. The man before them was none other than the eldest son of their competitors, Marvin Norton. "What are you doing in our store, Marvin? You are not welcome here!" Shally snapped out of it and her expression darkened.Not only were the Nortons the Summers' biggest competitors, but they were also bullying the Summers ever since Shally's parents and brother were killed. In recent months, the Nortons' actions escalated and they even cut off the resources to the Summers, which led to great financial losses. Given the relationship between the Nortons and the Summers, there was no way she would treat Marvin with respect. "Ha!" Marvin sneered in contempt and ignored her. He approached with his guards and glanced at the Dragon Jade, before turning to Mister Negus. "Mister Negus, I heard yo
Twenty-six-year-old Leon Wolf was a married man whose notorious reputation was well-known across Springfield City. He lived with his wife's family—the Mansons—and was treated as an indentured servant during his three-year marriage. Dignity was a foreign concept to him, but he endured all the humiliation in silence and never once spoke up in protest.For the past three years, he worked tirelessly like a horse in the Mansons' company every single day, yet his salary had to be handed over to his wife Marilyn, whom he couldn't even get close to.By the time he came home at night, he had to do laundry, mop, cook, and various other household chores. Still, he worked diligently without complaining.He believed that by doing all this, he could prove his worth to his wife and convince her to stay with him until they grew old. But what he received in return was a cruel blow—a baby!His wife, with whom he had never even slept, was pregnant, and he was about to become a father!But would anyo
Leon left the cemetery after paying his respects to Elder Manson, but before he stepped out, he noticed a woman in professional attire standing at the entrance. She had a stunning figure, and Leon wondered why someone like her would be visiting the cemetery in the middle of the night instead of being sound asleep in bed. She wore heavy makeup, causing him to do a double take.She appeared unhappy and muttered something like, "You broke-ass b*stard."Usually, Leon would ignore such remarks in the past, knowing that reacting wouldn't benefit him in any way. However, the shock of his wife getting pregnant with someone else's child and being expelled from his own home had left him incredibly upset. He wanted to vent his emotions. In a moment of impulsive hot-headedness, he rushed towards the woman and said, "Isn't it a bit early for you to be offering yourself on the street? How much do you charge for a night? I happen to be in a good mood today!"Truth be told, Leon didn't have a singl
