"Oh..." Stephanie was surprised that Irene, who had claimed to be omniscient earlier, could become so humble.To cover up the shame, Irene quickly suggested, "Miss Collins, since you have an interest in this collection, let me reach out to my colleagues for assistance."Stephanie agreed, and Irene called on two of her colleagues.The young ladies came forward, and Irene asked, "Miss Collins would love to know about this collection of rare stones. Does anyone of you have any information about them?"Just as Irene had done, the ladies' eyes were fixated on the collection, staring at it for a long moment.Stephanie finally cleared her throat to break the deafening silence.The first lady spoke up, "I have never come across this rare collection in my entire career."The other lady confessed too, "Since we couldn't help, I believe Sam Trevor should have some information about them." She left to call for Sam Trevor.Stephanie remained calm, watching how they would sort themselves out. This

The elderly man, dressed in a well-tailored suit, walked forward majestically. His breathtaking aura took over the place, and there was total silence."Welcome, sir!""You are welcome, sir!" the attendants hurriedly greeted him.Joe raised his hand to stop them, and they remained in their spots.Just then, Joe's eyes met Stephanie's. "Welcome, Uncle Joe," Stephanie greeted politely, surprised to see him walk in at a perfect time. "My beautiful Stephanie. You didn't inform me of your visit."Stephanie smiled slightly. "I'm sorry for not informing you earlier. I didn't plan it; it just happened. I know you're happy to see me, anyway.""Of course, yes. I'm happy." Joe was beaming with excitement.Then, he turned to look at his attendants. Reading their faces, he could tell that something unpleasant had occurred.He then asked Stephanie, "Who among the attendants provoked you?"Irene's face turned ashen as Stephanie pointed at her. "Irene, quickly explain yourself.""Hurry up; I don't ha

Joe's eyes flashed with anger. Sam just brought right before his nose, the guy he never wanted to see anymore. However, Sam wasn't at fault. It was Joe who had told them to respect whoever appraised the alexandrite earlier.Joe's cold glare shifted from Sam to the box on the table. His eyes squinted at a stone with a unique pink color and brilliance. Instantly, the elderly man felt a change within him as a thought struck his mind.Then, he dismissed Sam.Joe exchanged a glance with Stephanie as he asked Michael, "What's the problem with the gemstone?"Michael cleared his throat and replied, "Mr. Collins, I want to suggest that you keep this precious stone personally. The gemstone has the chance to continue to add value and become of great profit in the future."There was silence in the office. Joe shifted his gaze between Michael and the gemstone.Even though his curiosity was piqued at the mention of future profit, he didn't want to make it evident.Although he was the one who bough

Stephanie joined Michael and genuinely pleaded, "Mr. Quinn, I want to beg you not to take everything that happened to heart."Michael turned to look at her. "There's nothing to be troubled about. I should be the one pleading with you for stressing you out here."Stephanie looked at Michael with a bit of surprise at his gentleness and cool-headedness. Not only was she impressed by his calm attitude, but he was also very handsome."It's fine. We can still visit somewhere nice to brighten the day," Stephanie suggested.Michael pondered it for a moment and agreed with her.Then, the young lady led the way out of the commercial complex and was heading towards her car when a familiar voice called out to her, "Hi, Miss Collins."Stephanie paused and turned to look in the direction from which the voice came, and it was Austin.He was about to enter his Audi Q5, which was parked in front of Stephanie's car."It feels so nice to see you today," Austin said in a flirtatious tone as he walked clo

Stephanie couldn't take her eyes off the Black Opal as it glimmered more as the sun shone on it.Research made her realize that Black Opal is one of the rarest stones. How Michael was able to possess one left her with so many questions.Michael displayed the gemstone more openly. Then, he closed the box and was about to pocket it when Austin hurriedly stopped him."Please wait, Mr. Quinn."Michael raised his eyes to look at him. He was surprised to see the pompous Austin looking so humble now."Is there any problem?" Michael asked nonchalantly.Then, Austin became more respectful to Michael as he began to sweet-talk him. "Mr. Quinn, there have been a few misunderstandings between us in the past, but you have always been considerate when dealing with things. As the kind person that you used to be, I want to urge you to overlook the past. Let's start afresh by supporting each other." Austin was grinning from ear to ear.Michael chuckled, "Why are you beating around the bush, speaking in

Stephanie paused for a moment, and a slight smile appeared on her face. "That serves him right," she commented, and Michael laughed softly.She was impressed with the trick Michael pulled on the fool.He said he was going to Joe's gallery to gift him the black opal regarding Stephanie. Meanwhile, he just left his gallery behind.That says a lot about Austin's personality. He's nothing but a liar and deceiver.Stephanie and Michael got back into the car and drove off.Michael sat quietly in the car as his mind flashed back to how he nearly lost his life last night.One of the most complex means by which Michael's spiritual strength can level up is through the use of rare stones.That says a lot about how the process must be carefully handled.The heavy breath Michael released on the fake black opal last night is one of the strongest cultivating techniques.If the black opal had been authentic, as soon as he released the breath on it, the rare stone would crack, and a soothing energy wo

Michael had no idea what they had come to do in the luxury mall as Stephanie led the way in.They took the VIP elevator and landed on the third floor of the massive building.After a minute's walk, Stephanie entered a VIP restaurant that looked magnificent and invited Michael into a private dining space."Come have a seat here, Mr. Quinn," she offered, and Michael sat gently on the black sofa.Stephanie sat across from him and asked with a soft smile, "How do you feel about here?"Michael gazed around.It was a cool and cozy space. They were also able to have a view of the center of the large mall from there."It's nice," he commented.Stephanie chuckled slightly as she sipped the cocktail that had been served to her. She had intentionally chosen the quiet space to create a better atmosphere.She fixated her gaze on Michael as she watched him take his fresh juice. She couldn't stop admiring how calm and handsome he looked.At that moment, Stephanie's heart was filled with a thousand t

Ava and Erica's faces turned green with worry.The old woman's face looked so tough. No doubt, dealing with her would be quite difficult.Ava quickly stepped forward and did her best to plead with the old woman. "We are very sorry for the great mistake, but there's no way we can get this vase back intact. How about you name the price?"The old woman's face widened more in anger. She looked so much like a leopard that was about to pounce on its prey. "Don't tell me that! Do you think an amount of money can solve this?! What I want is this particular vase! Anything else you have to say is nonsense!"A crowd had already gathered, watching the scene. This made Ava and Erica's faces ashen with embarrassment.Somehow, Ava felt that maybe the old woman bumped into Erica on purpose. More like a troublesome person.The fact that Ava couldn't find anything special about the broken vase gave her more headaches.It was just an old-fashioned vase and nothing more to say about it. Why the old woman

Having a very strong man like Steelheart would be very helpful for the challenging journey Michael was about to embark on. Therefore, he welcomed Steelheart wholeheartedly."Thank you for your help, strong one. We can be on our way now."Steelheart bowed slightly to him in respect and requested to drive the car.Michael agreed, and Steelheart jumped into the driver's seat while Michael sat next to him.Sage, in the passenger seat, heaved a sigh of relief as Steelheart's presence eased his mind.King James wished them a safe and successful journey under his breath as he watched the SUV zoom off.Inside the car, their faces looked determined and focused as their thoughts revolved around the challenge before them.Just then, Michael broke the silence, "After conducting a lot of research, I was able to find Zak's location."The others nodded slowly as Michael took out his phone and showed them the route to the wizard's residence on Google Maps.Zak's residence is located in a deep and sca
Chapter 120
After a conclusion had been reached, Michael intended to return home to prepare himself for the challenge ahead. Even though the information about the wizard was very scary, Michael never doubted his abilities.After all, with the genuine black opal in his possession, his spiritual strength would grow to a greater level.Michael set aside all thoughts and was about to exit the palace when Patricia, Liam's elder sister, met his gaze. The beautiful princess gave him a fleeting glance before turning and heading in her own direction.Despite it being just a glance, the air in the atmosphere felt charged at that moment. The meaning of the glance was incomprehensible to both, leaving the duo in a state of uncertainty........It was already the next day. Michael had taken his time and did what was needed overnight. At this moment, his spiritual strength had grown to the extent that he could unleash a powerful blast of energy from his bare hands.As soon as he arrived at the palace, a quick

The king felt extremely disgusted with Sage immediately. Undoubtedly, such a greedy fellow wouldn't mind ending the king's life if he got paid for it.Before the unexpected could occur, James had already resolved to end Sage's life first.Michael was still dumbfounded as he found it hard to understand how an elderly man could be so greedy. If not for his greed, there's a chance that the protection mirror wouldn't have gone missing.As soon as Sage saw the disgust and anger on their faces, he quickly protested,"Your Highness, please don't get me wrong! That was my intention when I got the fabricated black opal, but not anymore! That was why I returned the genuine black opal to the treasury after I realized that money isn't the pinnacle of everything in life."King James' face remained stern as he stared at the unreliable elderly man. Even though there was a hint of genuineness on his face as he protested, it was still very hard to believe him.James then turned to Michael and said, "M

A total fright took over the room as the revelation restricted the air in the atmosphere.Given that the king had once witnessed Zak in action in Colston City, that made him realize who Sage described in the narration.Zak was a popular wizard in Colston City; however, only a few people had been privileged to see him in person.Aside from that, this ruthless wizard was known for devouring human beings on a whim without opening his mouth. Zak could manipulate time and mess with whatever he targeted.The king tried to understand that he must have spared Sage that night so as not to leave a trace of his visitation.The only question that revolved around King James' mind now was why Zak came for Silvana City's protection mirror.He could remember he had never had any business with the wizard in the past, let alone had a clash with him. Why Silvana City's peace was a problem for him left him with questions.King James sighed heavily as he let go of Sage's shoulders. He turned to Michael, w
Chapter 117
An impatient facial expression appeared on the king's face. All he wanted to know was the current location of the protection mirror. The longer the sacred mirror remains missing in Silvana City, the closer unimaginable disasters are likely to strike the city.At that moment, Sage's face looked so bitter, and his lips were trembling. The more he was about to speak, the more tears ran down his cheeks."On the night of Prince Liam's last birthday..." Sage bit his lower lip, trying to hold back his tears.Michael paid more attention to the elderly man as he began to explain. He was so impressed by how the king had perfectly handled the situation up to this moment.If the king hadn't been watching Sage, who would have known he had a secret to reveal?Sage was weeping hard as he continued, "While the celebration was ongoing that night, I was lured out of the celebration grounds by a stranger.""Without any discussion, he gifted me five million dollars as a kind gesture."Michael and King Ja

King James was stunned and refused to believe his eyes. He felt his mind playing a trick on him as he walked closer to the shelf in doubt.Sage and Michael had their eyes on the king as they saw him stop before the shelf, staring in a direction.Meanwhile, the king was surprised that what he saw was real. The protection mirror was hidden behind other valuables on the shelf. It was a hexagonal-shaped mirror with traditional intricacies.Michael and Sage were still watching the king as he stood there when he reached for the mirror and turned to them.They were befuddled to see the traditional mirror in his hand. Who would have thought that the protection mirror, capable of saving the whole city, was sitting there?However, King James's face tightened in rage as he asked Sage, "The loyal one, tell me how this got here?"Sage's ocean of tears dried immediately as he rose to his feet. He wore a bland expression as he gave his two cents."It's very understandable, Your Highness. That foolis
Chapter 115
King James and Michael were stunned to hear that from Sage. A surprised look was directed at the elderly man as the king snapped at him in rage."What do you mean by that, Sage? Are you trying to silence her?"Sage quickly composed himself, waving his hands in decline. "Don't get me wrong, Your Highness. I meant what else does she have to say, as it was already obvious that she is a skillful thief.""If not, how was she able to steal the key card that I used a few minutes ago to sneak into the jewel room? My king, there's a high chance that she was the one who stole the protection mirror. Her skill is highly bewildering!"Sage's stance introduced a bit of confusion into the atmosphere. However, even though his points were worth pondering, they were quite unbelievable.The king wondered how it was possible for the lady to steal the key card from him without any of them finding out. That had to be magic.The king didn't argue with Sage as he realized Sage was trying to manipulate their
Chapter 114
They were all extremely stunned to find the gemstone with the lady.The king's face turned seriously angry at her. If they hadn't caught her here, they wouldn't have discovered the theft.King James had a cold stare at her, wondering how long she had been stealing from the treasury. He was left in the middle of his thoughts, struggling to believe that she was the one who stole the protection mirror.Then, the king angrily said to her, "So, you've been the one stealing all the valuables in this treasury!""Your Highness, that's not true. This is my first time visiting the treasury, and this is the only valuable I took. Pardon me." She quickly explained with utmost fear, letting go of the black opal.Just then, a thought came to James's mind as he confronted Sage. "King adviser, I remember we only have one black opal in this treasury, and it has been given to Mr. Quinn. Where does this come from?"Sage took a moment to think before he replied, "That's true, Your Highness. We have given

They all quickly walked forward in that direction with curiosity."Who's there?!" King James asked sternly as they got closer to the corner. However, there was no response.Instantly, they all checked around the corner but couldn't find anyone.Sage heaved a sigh and said, "Could it be that we overheard things?""I don't think that's true. If not, why do we all react to the sound at the same time?" Michael's observation swept away Sage's point.Sage was about to further argue with Michael when they heard a heavier grunt right in that same spot.This time, they all caught the exact angle from which the sound came and walked briskly toward it.King James was closer to the direction. He saw nothing else there but a big, old carton that seemed to be empty. James doubted if his instinct was right as he slowly opened the empty carton.Boom!They were all shocked to find a skinny young lady hiding in the big carton. She was grunting heavily due to the excessive heat. She looked extremely exh
