A Man Like None Other (Jared Chance) novel Chapter 4569

Once inside the room, anything done within its confines would go unnoticed, and any words spoken would remain unheard.

Jared was quite puzzled. I'm just here to sell some celestial crystals. Is there really a need to make this all seem so mysterious? There's even a cloaking formation!

Before long, a somewhat portly middle-aged man entered the room and took a seat across from Jared and Mia. “Mia, have you gotten the celestial crystal?”

“Mr. Hickman, I almost had it, but then it was snatched away from me. I nearly got caught, too,” Mia said regretfully.

“Since the celestial crystal isn't in your possession, what brings you here?” Billy Hickman furrowed his brows, his voice carrying a note of reprimand as he spoke.

“Mr. Hickman, even though we didn't get that celestial crystal, I still have other celestial crystals here.” Mia spoke, pulling out the celestial crystal that Jared had given her. She then continued, “And this friend of mine also has celestial crystals that he'd like to sell to you.”

Upon hearing Mia's words, Billy finally noticed Jared. Subsequently, he began to scrutinize Jared.

Just as Jared was starting to wonder why Billy kept staring at him, suddenly, a wave of spiritual sense unexpectedly enveloped him.

Jared didn't want Billy probing, so he immediately blocked Billy's spiritual sense and even scanned the latter instead.

When Jared's spiritual sense entered Billy's body to investigate, he furrowed his brows slightly. However, it didn't take long for them to relax again.

It was because Jared discovered that deep within Billy, there was surprisingly a trace of human aura.

Beast City didn't allow any races other than the beast race to enter.

Although, on the surface, Billy exuded the aura of the beast race, deep within him, a human race's aura was cleverly concealed.

At that moment, Billy grimaced. His eyes were firmly fixed on Jared.

“To sell celestial crystals,” Jared declared.

“Mr. Hickman, rest assured, we are indeed selling celestial crystals. Plus, it's Jared's first time in Beast City. He doesn't know anything yet.” Mia also noticed that something was amiss at that moment, so she quickly spoke up.

Billy nodded, then took the celestial crystal from Mia's hand and glanced at it. “Five purple spirit coins.”

Mia slightly furrowed her brows and said, “Mr. Hickman, wasn't such a large celestial crystal valued at seven purple spirit coins in the past? How has it become five now?”

“What was in the past is in the past, and now is now. Recently, they've been checking more strictly. You could go to any official procurement sites, and your celestial crystal is worth no more than three purple spirit coins,” Billy said.

Mia bit her lip, finally yielding with a hint of resignation, “All right, then...”

After Billy casually handed Mia five purple spirit coins, he nonchalantly tossed the celestial crystal into his item pouch.
