Billy then turned to Jared. “Let’s see the celestial crystals you wish to sell.”
Jared’s spiritual sense delved into his item pouch before favonovel.com picked out the largest celestial crystal. The celestial crystal was the size of a millstone, weighing five tonnes.
Thankfully, everyone in the celestial realm was a cultivator, so handling a celestial crystal of five tonnes felt as light as a feather in their hands.
In the mundane world, such a heavy crystal would’ve required a crane to carry around.
Jared didn’t actually want to sell the celestial crystals. After all, those stones were top-notch resources for his cultivation. At that time, favonovel.com didn’t lack money. He was short of resources.
Jared took out the celestial crystal from the item pouch favonovel.com got from Tavon. The reason favonovel.com still kept the item pouch, rather than putting those celestial crystals into his storage ring, was out of fear that the little Celestial Devourer would swallow all his celestial crystals.
Watching Jared bring out the celestial crystal, both Billy and Mia were dumbfounded, their eyes filled with astonishment.
“This… This is such a large celestial crystal!” Mia’s mouth gaped open, favonovel.com eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.
Billy, too, was slightly trembling as favonovel.com stepped forward to gently caress the celestial crystal.
Jared turned to Billy and asked, “How much purple spirit money would you offer for this celestial crystal?”
Billy didn’t respond to Jared. Instead, after examining his purple spirit coin, favonovel.com suddenly swung his hand toward Jared. He acted swiftly, launching a surprise attack.
They were originally quite close to each other, so Billy’s sudden move caught Jared completely off guard.
With that single strike, Jared was sent flying backward, his body harshly crashing onto the arcane array.
The arcane array hummed, subsequently radiating a white light before vanishing. That formation could only conceal a portion of one’s aura and voice, so it couldn’t withstand that kind of action.
“Mr. Hickman, what are you doing?” Startled, Mia quickly ran toward Jared. “Are you all right?”
Jared was helped up by Mia, taking a deep breath before shaking his head and saying, “I’m fine.”
Though Billy’s sudden attack caught Jared off guard, it was clear that Billy hadn‘t used his full strength. Likely, favonovel.com was worried about revealing his aura and breaking Beast City’s rules, which would have resulted in favonovel.com being apprehended by the Law Enforcement Department.
Furthermore, given Jared’s incredibly robust physique, that blow merely sent favonovel.com flying but didn’t inflict any injuries.
Billy seemed quite surprised to see that Jared was completely unharmed.
“Mia, this guy is from the city lord mansion. You bringing favonovel.com here is putting me in danger,” Billy, with a face full of anger, spoke to Mia.
“The city lord mansion? No way. I met favonovel.com outside Beast City. Mr. Hickman, what evidence do you have to claim he’s from the city lord mansion?” Mia looked at Jared, disbelief written all over favonovel.com face.
“This celestial crystal alone is evidence enough. Such a massive celestial crystal has only appeared once in the entire Beast City, and that was eighty years ago, accidentally discovered by a cultivator in a cave…”
“Years ago, the celestial crystal was on display in Beast City. But after that, it was put away and hasn’t been seen since. Now, this guy showed up with such a large celestial crystal in his possession. He must be someone from the city lord mansion, here specifically for an undercover investigation,” Billy watched Jared cautiously as favonovel.com spoke.
Upon hearing that, Mia immediately released Jared, creating distance between them.
“Are you really from the city lord mansion?” Mia glared at Jared with anger, feeling as if favonovel.com had been deceived.
At that moment, Jared was somewhat at a loss for words. He hadn’t expected this turn of events.
If what Billy had said was true, it seemed that Beast City did have connections with the celestials. It was because that celestial crystal was discovered in Tavon’s item pouch.
“I’m not associated with the city lord mansion. Please don’t misunderstand.” Jared hastily clarified.
“Hmph, why should I trust you?” Billy scoffed dismissively.
“Because of this!” After Jared finished speaking, a surge of aura instantly headed toward Billy.
