A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 416

Chapter 416 Is This The Spiritual Stone

“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 collar. “Hey, where did you get this stone from?” Jared demanded again.

Immediately, a flash 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 his composure.

“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 explained.

Jared merely offered him a small smile and said nothing more. Dominic has no idea how important this stone is to me!

“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?”

“According 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 glanced at Jared. Since the latter 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 nonchalantly.

Benjamin, who’d just closed his eyes, jolted in shock when he caught wind of Jared’s bold statement.
