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
In the lobby, a middle-aged man with gold-framed glasses sat at a table, drinking tea. He wore a gray-black suit and looked quite high-spirited. Other guests in the lobby knelt on the floor, afraid to look up. Upon seeing Philip’s return, the owner of the hotel hurriedly stepped forward and said, “Mr. Clarke, you’re finally back. An esteemed guest is looking for you.” Philip frowned and knew without asking that the middle-aged man was looking for him. “Young Patriarch Clarke, it’s a pleasure to meet you. I just made some tea. Do have some.” The middle-aged man with glasses gently pushed the cup of tea to the opposite side. Philip frowned and stepped forward. Without drinking the cup of tea, he asked coldly, “Who are you?” The middle-aged man smiled slightly, turned to look at Philip, and said, “The people here call me Dragon King Well out of respect.” Dragon King Well? Philip frowned and asked, “Why are you looking for me?” Dragon King Well smiled and said, “It’s no
This confrontation caused the temperature in the lobby to plummet by more than 10 degrees! Everyone could feel the sparks in the air! The bodyguards brought by Dragon King Well were fully prepared for battle and put their hands on their waists. Fennel and the others also stared at these bodyguards solemnly. In the end, Dragon King Well chuckled and said, “As expected of the young patriarch of the Clarke family. You’re bold and assertive. I hope you can still have such confidence when we meet next time.” Philip smiled lightly and said, “I hope that you can still be a Dragon King when we meet again too.” With that said, Dragon King Well turned to leave with his people. However, when he walked to the door, Dragon King Well said meaningfully, “If you want to know the base of the Lovelace family in Mystic City, bring Dumbo Lane to exchange for the information. I welcome you anytime.” After that, Dragon King Well left with his people. Philip stood in the lobby and stared at
“Dumbo Lane, to tell you the truth, Dragon King Well has made an exchange for you with one condition. You’re very lucky,” Philip said. Hearing that, Dumbo immediately shook off the two guards, laughed arrogantly, and said, “Hahaha, I knew that Dragon King Well would definitely save me! “Young Patriarch Clarke, you’re quite smart.” After Dumbo said that, Philip kicked him and sent him crashing to the ground! Thud! In an instant, the two guards pressed their guns to Dumbo’s head. Dumbo’s face was full of pain as he roared angrily, “Young Patriarch Clarke, how dare you treat me like this? Aren’t you afraid that Dragon King Well will pursue this?” Philip chuckled and said, “Dumbo, you don't seem to understand what I said. I said that Dragon King Well has to fulfill one condition of mine in exchange for you. Do you understand?” Hiss! Dumbo finally understood, and he was dumbfounded. How could this be? However, Philip did not bother to give Dumbo the time to think. He s
Dragon King Well was startled before he laughed and said, “Young Patriarch Clarke, you really hit the nail on the head.” After that, he signaled his subordinates to retreat. The entire side hall was left with just Dragon King Well and Philip. Dragon King Well motioned for Philip to sit down and said, “Young Patriarch Clarke, there’s no grudge between us, so we can sit down and have a good talk.” Philip raised his eyebrows and said with a shrug, “What are you trying to say? There's no one else here, so let's get straight to the point.” Dragon King Well smiled, pushed his glasses, and said, “I really like your forthright personality. It's very simple. I want to work with you. You help me get what I want, and I'll tell you what you want to know.” Philip frowned, thought about it, and asked, “How can you be sure that I want to work with you?” Dragon King Well leaned back lazily, took a sip of tea, and said, “Because I, Windsor Well, may be the only person in the entire Mystic C
Windsor got up and said, “It's very simple. I need your help to obtain the treasure of the ancient sage at the Mystic Cave Treasure Digging Event that’ll be held in seven days.” Treasure Digging Event? Philip frowned in confusion. As if he had expected it, Windsor explained, “This time, everyone knows that the treasure of the ancient sage has appeared in Mystic City, and a storm is brewing with countless forces and families flocking here. Everyone wants to compete for the treasure, and I’m no exception.” “Then how can you be sure that I don't want to compete for it too?” Philip asked. Windsor said with a smile, “If you want it, I’ll gladly share it. I just need your strength to get this secret treasure.” Philip raised his eyebrows, thought about it, and asked, “What’s this Treasure Digging Event, then?” Windsor said, “This event requires the forces and families to send their representatives to Mystic Cave and go through some challenges. The one who can finally find the an
Seeing Ludo walking in, Philip and the others were a little puzzled. “Why are you here?” Philip asked. Ludo raised his eyebrows, rolled his eyes at Philip, and said, “I wanted to see if you were killed by Dragon King Well!” Philip was speechless. Lord Ludo was quite a vengeful person. Fennel and the others were also embarrassed and kept quiet. Then, Ludo said, “You should have less contact with Windsor. He's not a good person.” “What do you mean?” Philip asked. Ludo looked at Philip and said coldly, “Windsor is not working alone. There’s another force behind him, and you should know this person too.” “Who?” Philip asked. “Fitzgerald Hale of the Nonagon,” Ludo said. “What?!” Hearing this, Philip was agitated. Fitzgerald Hale? How could it be him? Besides, was Fitzgerald Hale not dead? Seeing Philip’s state, Ludo said mildly, “Don’t be so surprised. Windsor used to be a follower of Fitzgerald, but I heard that Fitzgerald died on Arcadia Island of your Clarke f
