Hearing that he was about to be locked up, Dumbo shouted anxiously, “Captain Dole, he may be ignorant, but you wouldn’t follow in his footsteps, right? If Dragon King Well finds out that you locked me up, your job will be in danger!” Aaron scowled upon hearing this. He kicked Dumbo in the chest and Dumbo fell on his back. Aaron said, “Dumbo Lane, don’t be cocky with me. If not for Dragon King Well, I’d have taken you down long ago!” “Guards, bring them back! Also, tell the relevant departments to seize all of Dumbo Lane’s businesses and manpower!” “Yes, sir!” With a roar, the guards detained Dumbo and dozens of his men. Dumbo struggled and shouted, “Aaron Dole, you’re finished! If Dragon King Well finds out, let’s see how you’ll explain it!” Looking at the dozens of people who were taken away, Aaron turned to Philip with a worried look on his face and asked, “Young Patriarch Clarke, what should we do next? Dragon King Well isn’t an easy person to deal with. Anyone who messe
Two days later, Philip and the others were about to leave the hotel and walk around Mystic City. At the door, they bumped into Lord Ludo who walked in. Philip was still a little embarrassed when he saw Lord Ludo. He could not help but think of the incident when he accidentally touched something he should not have touched in the suite two days ago. To this day, his cheek still ached. Lord Ludo was still disguised as a man. He glared coldly at Philip and asked, “Where are you going, Young Patriarch Clarke?” Philip chuckled and said, “I’m going out for a walk.” Hearing that, Lord Ludo frowned and said, “If you don’t mind, I’ll go with you. I’m fairly familiar with this place and can be your tour guide.” Philip immediately shook his head and said, “No need. I’m sure you’re very busy. We’ll just walk around at random.” Hearing this, Ludo stared at Philip with murderous intent and said, “You really don’t need me?” Philip was embarrassed. He frowned and said with a laugh, “I
Ludo flipped his folding fan open, fanned himself, and cursed under his breath, “How ignorant.” On the side, Fennel looked at Philip and whispered, “Did you offend him? Why is he always so sarcastic to you?” Philip stroked his chin, laughed drily, and said, “I’m not sure either. Maybe I’m too handsome.” Pfft! Lord Ludo spat the tea he was drinking and stared daggers at Philip. Then, he said, “There are nine mines in Mystic City. Because of some incidents that modern society can’t explain, the locals call them Mystic Mines. “A lot of jade and ancient weapons have been dug up in Mystic Mine Three in the past few days, so it’s in the limelight and has attracted many looters.” Hearing this, Philip and the others nodded repeatedly. According to Ludo, it was nothing more than a mine that had unearthed jade and ancient weapons. “What about Mystic Mine Seven?” Philip asked. Ludo glared at him vehemently and said, “A bloodstone was dug up in Mystic Mine Seven three years ago
At the mention of Mystic Cave, Philip frowned. His mother and the secret vault of the Larson family were connected to Mystic Cave. To enter Mystic Cave, he had to obtain the recognition of the nine Mystic Mines, which sounded quite far-fetched. After thinking about it, Philip looked at Ludo and asked, “Why do we need to obtain the recognition of the nine Mystic Mines? Is the Mystic Cave controlled by the nine Mystic Mines?” Ludo smiled and said, “It seems that you know nothing about Mystic City at all.” This was blatant sarcasm. “The nine Mystic Mines of Mystic City are controlled by the three Dragon Kings here, three each. As for Mystic Cave, it’s jointly guarded by the three Dragon Kings. Without the tokens from the mines under their names, you won’t get the chance to enter Mystic Cave.” Hearing this, Philip asked, “What’s inside Mystic Cave? Why enter it?” Ludo smiled and said, “You have many questions. No one knows what’s inside the cave. All I know is that anything
Ludo walked to the door, and a manager greeted him with a fawning smile, “Oh, Lord Ludo, how nice to see you today. Please come in. We’ve reserved a good private room for you.” Ludo hummed and told his subordinates to take out a wad of money to toss it to the manager. Philip and the others followed silently, but the manager immediately changed his attitude. He stopped them and shouted coldly, “What are you doing? Who told you to break in? Can’t you see that this is the VIP passage? The entrance for ordinary guests is over there!” Philip was startled and looked at the manager with a goatee in front of him. “They’re with me.” In front, Ludo turned his head and said coldly at this moment. Instantly, the chills on the manager’s face turned into a complimenting smile. He bowed and said, “Oh, so you’re a friend of Lord Ludo’s. I’m sorry for not recognizing you. Please come this way.” What a pretentious guy with his nose in the air! Philip could not be bothered about this pers
Philip did not expect the starstone to react all of a sudden. He picked up the small black stone without a change in his expression and looked at it. He found nothing special about it. It was just an ordinary stone. At this time, the street vendor, who was in his 20s, counted the money in his hands from the transaction he just made and said, “Have you taken a fancy to this stone? It’s quite ordinary. It’s yours for 5,000.” 5,000? For a small stone like this? “Is this stone so expensive?” Philip pretended to ask in surprise. The street vendor looked at Philip and said, “Buddy, you look unfamiliar. Are you new here?” Philip did not deny it. The other party immediately smiled and said, “This thing is from Mystic Mine Three. In fact, everything here is, so the prices are definitely not cheap. Moreover, to tell you the truth, this stone has been here for three months but no one wants it. Since you’re the first person who has taken a fancy to it, I’m willing to make a loss an
After that, Claus reached out, took the blackstone from Philip, put it up to the light outside, and said, “Well, it’s a blackstone alright. Although not very pure, the quality is quite good. How much did you buy it for?” Claus returned the blackstone to Philip after saying that. Philip smiled and said, “2,000.” Claus nodded and said, “You’ve made a profit, then. You should be able to sell this blackstone for hundreds of thousands of dollars on the black market.” Hearing this, Philip’s heart skipped a beat. The price of this small stone had jumped from 2,000 to hundreds of thousands within a few minutes? Although Philip was not short of money, he was still agitated. “Mr. Motley, you mentioned just now that this is a blackstone. Is there anything special about it? Why is it so valuable?” Philip asked. Claus glanced at Philip and asked with a smile, “Is this your first time here?” Philip nodded and smiled with a shrug. Claus also laughed and explained unhurriedly, “Most
The Dragon King’s Token? Philip frowned as his eyes fell on the token in his hand. To grant the Dragon King’s Token, the person behind this must be one of the Dragon Kings in Mystic City! Ludo looked at Philip with envy and disbelief. He asked, “How did you get this thing?” Even he could not get hold of a token from the three Dragon Kings, but Philip got one right after taking a stroll outside! His luck was really too good. Philip scratched his head and said, “I don't know either. I met a middle-aged man earlier and had a conversation with him about jade.” Ludo frowned and asked, “A middle-aged man? What’s his name?” “Claus Motley.” Philip did not hide the truth. Hearing this name, Ludo gasped and said, “I really don’t know if I should praise your good luck or what. Claus Motley is the Second Dragon King of Mystic City.” After saying that, Ludo glanced at Philip with jealousy before he turned to look at his jade stones. Philip and the others were also full of surp
