Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1398

The boy named Rowan Diaz was clearly displeased as he rolled his eyes and turned to leave.

The instructor immediately ordered him to wait in place and caught up with him in front of Helen and Chandler.

"What are you doing? Didn't you read the fieldwork guidelines before you came? Do you know that I'll be held primarily accountable if you walk away, and something happens to you?" The instructor took off his glasses and glared at Rowan angrily.

In order not to affect the fieldwork, the instructor compromised. "Alright, let's get back to the group. I'll act like nothing happened."

But Rowan looked proud and remained unmoved, infuriating the instructor. As the instructor was about to lose his temper, Helen went over to give him a look, signaling him to stay calm.

She walked toward Rowan, took his hand, and placed the purple emerald she had just picked up on his palm. "Do you know what this is?"

"An ore." Rowan replied, and then added, "An emerald ore."

"Well, not bad. You know this is an emerald mine." Helen nodded in agreement.

Then, she shifted to another point. "But you're not entirely right. The one in your hand is indeed an emerald, but it's a purple emerald."

"I know this is an amethyst, which is extremely rare. It's the most precious, especially if it's in royal purple," Rowan answered correctly.

"That's right; you're more knowledgeable than I imagined." Helen was impressed, but she didn't show it.

She continued calmly, "But do you know that less than one percent of this mine has been extracted, and we have already found dozens of rare-colored emeralds?"

"How is that possible?" Rowan didn't believe it at all. "Even ordinary emeralds take tens of thousands of years to form, and it requires special resources to form just one piece of rare-colored emerald.

"How could they possibly appear so densely in the same mine?"

"But this is the truth," Helen said slowly. "Think about it; if you hadn't come here to inspect today, would you have made this discovery?

…

Helen originally thought that it was a simple encounter, but she saw Rowan again a few days later. Only this time, it was on the news.

Social Evening News read, "Recently, six physics undergraduates went to Whispering Woods in a group for their graduation theses.

"They had lost contact with the outside world at three o'clock last night, and the police are currently making every effort to organize personnel for the search and rescue.

"It is reported that Whispering Woods is also known as Hunger Woods, with rumors suggesting that black holes originate here.

"A large number of experts and scholars have ventured in to study the scientific phenomena, but so far, the missing people still remain undiscovered.

"However, since Whispering Woods lie on the border between Sapan and Grand Cathay, the issue of territorial ownership is still disputable. Its mysteries have yet to be revealed to the public."
