Chapter 418

“H-How is this possible?” Benjamin's eyes grew twice as large. Like a madman, he shook the stones,

hoping for something to appear within them.

“Crack open all of these stones right now!” he bellowed.

In no time, more stones were cracked open. Despite that, all the stones yielded similar results as

nothing of value was found in them.

“There's no need to open them anymore. It is nothing more but a waste of your time,” Jared remarked

as he rose to his feet.

Languidly, he tossed the spiritual stone aside. He'd already drained it of all of its spiritual energy.

This unexpected turn of events left Benjamin dumbstruck. When the truth dawned upon him, he

swayed on his feet like he was in a daze. After regaining his senses, he lunged toward Isaiah in a fit of

rage. “How dare you lie to me! Give me my money back!” he snarled as he grabbed Isaiah's collar.

Similarly, Isaiah dropped his respectful demeanor and pleasantries. He shoved Benjamin away and

snapped, “Aren't you aware of the rules in stone gambling? It’s not my fault that you made the wrong

judgment!”

Once Isaiah freed himself from Benjamin's grasp, he spun on his heel and intended to leave. Yet,

Benjamin refused to give up. “Stop them! Don't let them take a single step out of here.”

Quickly, Benjamin's men rushed forward to surround Isaiah. Nevertheless, Isaiah had come prepared

too. His bodyguards leaped into action against Benjamin's subordinates. In the span of a few seconds,

they'd defeated all of Benjamin’s men.

Isaiah snorted haughtily. “You brat, I haven't forgotten about you. It'd be best if we never cross paths

again,” he warned Jared in a menacing tone.

After the threat, Isaiah and his bodyguards left the scene.

Promptly, Benjamin crumpled to the floor as he burst into tears. He'd gone so pale that his skin

appeared gray in color.

After all, he'd purchased these worthless stones by borrowing money from others. How am I going to

return the money that I owe?

With a final glance at Benjamin's weeping figure, Jared beckoned at Dominic. “Let's go.”

Dominic nodded. Respectfully, he trailed after Jared as the duo departed elsewhere. After witnessing

the events that transpired earlier, Dominic's respect for Jared grew tenfold. If I hadn't listened to Jared,

I would have ended up in Benjamin's shoes.

Along the journey, Dominic asked, “Mr. Chance, where are we headed to?”

“We are going stone gambling. I want to see every stone that Summerbank has to offer. I'm short of

money right now,” Jared replied.

“All right!” Excitedly, Dominic heeded Jared's instructions and brought the latter to the stone gambling

street in Summerbank's shopping district.

Throughout the entire afternoon, Dominic brought Jared to every stone gambling stall. Under Jared's

keen eye, every stone he picked contained precious jewels.

Since Dominic knew the streets like the back of his hand, the duo managed to see every type of jewel.

These jewels ranged in color from imperial jades and blood reds to icy blues. Immediately, Dominic

would trade these jewels for cash.

“Mr. Chance, we earned two billion this afternoon!” Dominic cried out in excitement when he sent Jarednovelbin

back home in the evening.

In contrast to Dominic's elation, Jared leaned against his chair and closed his eyes for a much-needed

rest. To him, two billion was still too little.

Furthermore, Jared spent the entire afternoon exhausting his spiritual energy and felt incredibly

drained.

After sendingjared home, Dominic took a portion of their earnings for himself before transferring the

rest to Jared. Before Jared left, he reminded Dominic to acquire more stones, especially the ones from

Mount

Hickoria.

Truthfully, Jared wasn't interested in Hickoria stones. Instead, he had his attention fixated on the

spiritual stones. If he managed to get his hands on more spiritual stones, it meant that the discovery of

spiritual stones in Mount Hickoria was not merely a coincidence.

The moment Jared stepped inside the house, he caught sight of Josephine, who was lounging on the

couch. Upon noticing his return, she leaped up and hurried to his side. “I thought you went out for

lunch? Why did you only return during dinnertime? I was getting bored out of my mind!”

“Where's Lizbeth?” Jared asked.

“What's the matter? Do you miss her?” Josephine questioned as she narrowed her eyes.
