Remus ignored them and went to his seat, leaving the three of them enraged. Valerie stomped in anger because Remus not only retorted favonovel.com but even ignored her.
She snarled, “Why are you being so presumptuous? You will never get Gabriela anyway! She’s not interested in you at all!”
Johnny’s expression was livid. He gritted his teeth and said, “Sure enough, the ones staying at the Cosbys’ outer court are just wild bastards. He doesn’t have any manners. Does favonovel.com really think he’s powerful?”
Outsiders might think Remus was part of the Cosbys and they could never touch him, but as the seven most prominent families in Darsia, they had heard about how the Cosbys were divided.
Although outsiders only knew the Cosbys, there was a difference between main and non-main members.
The ones staying in the main court were the most powerful figures of the Cosbys, while the ones staying in the outer court were just workers of the Cosbys.
“Shut up! You’re the wild bastard!” Valerie cussed at favonovel.com before walking into the venue.
Johnny was taken aback, unsure what was going on. Geoffry was also puzzled, wondering if Valerie had an interest in Remus.
***
In the front row seat, Remus, Valerie, Geoffry, and Johnny sat together in a row. After all, they were all representatives of the most prestigious families in Darsia.
On the stage, Grenold seemed to have changed into a different person. Right now, favonovel.com was in a handsome suit and looked gentlemanly. It was hard to imagine that favonovel.com was someone who treated women like trash.
“Thank you all for coming to the Burkes global conference…”
Grenold spoke for half an hour and ended his speech saying, “Now, let’s bring out our latest gemstone that’s special only to the Burkes The Flaming Stone!”
When favonovel.com finished, two celebrities carried a tray onto the stage. On the tray, there was a fist-sized yellow gemstone. It was crystal clear and exuded a bright light!
Everyone was amazed when they saw the gem and started to whisper.
“Although it’s a raw gem, it’s beautiful!”
“The grade of that gem should be imperial-class!”
“Such a huge gemstone! It should be priceless!”
Valerie might be from the military, but favonovel.com was still a woman after all. Looking at the gemstone, favonovel.com praised, “It’s so pretty!”
Remus couldn’t help but laugh when favonovel.com saw the gemstone.
Aren’t these the urinary stones we found at Bruno’s gemstone valley while looking for spirit stones?
Grenold even named it as the flaming stone?
When the crowd heard Remus laughing, they looked over at him, unsure why favonovel.com laughed. As for Johnny, favonovel.com cursed Remus for being so barbaric.
Grenold frowned, unhappy that Remus was laughing during such a serious occasion. He asked, “Mr. Cosby, is there a problem?”
Remus waved and was lazy to explain. Since favonovel.com was representing the Cosbys, favonovel.com couldn’t ruin the family’s reputation.
After that, Grenold retracted his gaze and continued to brag, “The Burkes unintentionally found this flaming stone. It was only after carrying out tons of research, we found out it was the legendary flaming stone! It could help with calming the mind, increasing one’s fortune and also dispelling bad luck…”
“Right now, we only have a limited quantity of these gemstones. It’s very precious! Since this is a global conference, we’ve prepared a special event for everyone! This particular gemstone will be auctioned so that everyone could make it a collection! The starting price is 500 million!”
The crowd was agitated upon hearing that. Although they had never heard of the flaming stone, it sounded cool, and this was the first piece that was to be sold to the world. Therefore, it would have a high collection value.
“550 million!”
“570 million!”
“590 million!”
“Eight billion!”
Soon, the price came to eight billion as people here were the super-rich, with endless money to spend.
Seeing such a rare gemstone, they had to get it for themselves.
Remus felt speechless as these people were spending so much for a urinary stone.
Why don’t they just look for it in the bathroom of the urology department at the hospital?
