Jared nodded and entered the car. Dominic then drove carefully toward the Wagner residence.novelbin
Despite Dominic's arrogant behavior, he didn't dare to show any disrespect in the face of Jared's
absolute power. In fact, even his father was extremely polite toward Jared.
His phone started ringing while they were still on the road, but Dominic didn't dare to answer it. Instead,
he stole a glance at Jared to see how he responded.
“Just go ahead and take the call, man!
I'm not going to kill you for doing so!” Jared said with a helpless chuckle.
Having gotten his permission, Dominic answered the phone.
“Mr. Wagner, Mr. Ferguson has just arrived at the port. The stones have been loaded into the cars and
will be delivered to us by the afternoon!” said the man on the phone.
“Okay, got it!”
Dominic was about to hang up the phone when the man continued, “Mr. Ferguson said that these
stones are from Mount Hickoria, so he wants you to prepare more money!” “Hickoria stones, huh?”
Dominic paused for a moment before continuing excitedly, “No problem! Just make sure he brings them
all to me! Don't let him share them with anyone else!”
The look of excitement on his face did not fade even after he hung up the phone.
Curious as to why Dominic was so excited, Jared asked, “What are Hickoria stones?”
“Oh, you didn't know? Hickoria stones are stones obtained from Mount Hickoria. Due to its high rate of
production, precious gemstones like imperial jade and flaming ruby are all processed from Hickoria
stones. That's why they are worth more money. If we can get our hands on these stones, then we’ll be
able to make a fortune even if we process them ourselves!” Dominic explained.
As it turned out, he actually knew quite a lot about gemstones.
“Assuming we are able to increase the gemstone's production rate to a hundred percent by only
processing the stones that contain gemstones, how much money can we make?”
Jared became interested in gemstones when he realized the potential to profit from them.
“It's impossible to increase production rates to a hundred percent, but if we are able to make it happen
somehow...” Dominic paused midsentence and stared wide-eyed at Jared through the rear-view mirror.
He had just recalled how Jared had picked ten stones out of the pile, five of which turned out to contain
gemstones inside them. Although Dominic hadn't checked the other five, he could see where Jared
was going with that question.
“Well, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that one could become the wealthiest person in the
country!” he continued excitedly.
Jared nodded. “This really is a profitable business, then!”
“If you're knowledgeable in picking out gemstones, we could work together on this! I'll give you fifty
percent of the shares! No, I'll give you eighty percent of the shares! I'm happy with just twenty percent
of it! All you have to do is examine the stones for me when they arrive!”
Dominic's heart was racing as he said that.
If we're able to pick out the stones containing those precious gemstones for ourselves, then I'll profit
greatly even with just twenty percent of the shares! We can also sell the remaining ones at the stone
gambling store and profit from them even more!
“Do you really trust me that much?” Jared asked with a smile.
Dominic nodded profusely. “Of course I do! You've proven your exceptional skill with your performance
yesterday! I've never seen anyone as great as you in the world of stone gambling!”
“All right, then. I happen to be a little strapped for cash at the moment, so I'll take you up on your offer!”
Jared replied.
Dominic was overjoyed when he heard that. “Thank you, Mr. Chance! Thank you so much!”
Luke and a group of men were waiting for them at the front door by the time Dominic and Jared arrived
at the Wagner residence. He even opened the door for them and ushered them into the house.
