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, favonovel.com 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 ordinary people can’t tell blackstone apart, and many stone diggers will treat them as worthless stones. Moreover, ordinary people can’t use this blackstone. Only people with special means or special organizations can use this blackstone, so if you want to take it off your hands, you generally have to go to the black market.”
After saying that, favonovel.com looked at Philip and said, “Since it’s your first time here, why don’t you sell this blackstone to me for 200,000?”
Hearing that, Philip looked at Claus and said, “Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Motley, but I don’t plan to sell this blackstone.”
Upon hearing this, a bodyguard behind Claus immediately pointed at Philip and scolded, “Boy, what did you say? How dare you speak to our boss like this?”
“Hey, don’t be rude,” Claus’ face was slightly angry as favonovel.com glared at his subordinate, who immediately lowered his head. Then, favonovel.com smiled and said, “I’m sorry for not taking favonovel.com in hand. I hope you don’t mind.”
Philip smiled, unconcerned. Then, favonovel.com turned to leave.
Claus looked in the direction Philip was headed and shook his head slightly. When Claus was about to leave, favonovel.com suddenly stopped and asked, “What did favonovel.com say his name was?”
“Philip Clarke, Dragon King,” the bodyguard replied.
Claus’ expression changed, and the smile on his face got bigger. He said, “So it’s him. Interesting…”
“Ask someone to send a token to his private room later.”
After saying that, Claus left with his people.
***
On this side, Philip returned to the second floor. Fennel and the others also returned one after another.
Lord Ludo was still looking at the stones. He also bought several pieces and found some valuable things inside. Seeing that Philip had returned, favonovel.com asked, “How is it? Did you buy anything good?”
Philip shrugged and took out the blackstone favonovel.com bought. Lord Ludo looked at it, frowned deeply, and asked, “Did you buy this?”
Philip shrugged and said, “Yeah, what’s wrong?”
Lord Ludo rolled his eyes at Philip and said, “You really have no foresight. This stone is worthless!”
Philip was startled. Even Ludo did not recognize this stone. Was this stone really that extraordinary?
“Young Patriarch Clarke, I suggest you pick a few more stones. Otherwise, you won’t even have the right to enter Mystic Cave,” Ludo reminded.
Suddenly, the door of the private room was pushed open and the manager from earlier walked in with a smile on his face. He immediately walked up to Philip and handed favonovel.com a special small token with the word ‘Dragon King’ on it.
“Mr. Clarke, the boss asked me to give this to you. Please keep it carefully,” the manager said with a smile.
Philip took it with a glance and asked in confusion, “Who’ your boss?”
The manager smiled and said, “You’ll find out soon…”
Lord Ludo saw the token and said in surprise, “The Dragon King’s Token?”
