The Unexpected Ultimacy Chapter 75
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

Meanwhile, Stephanie and Michael were already outside the mall."Mr. Quinn, I appreciate you for sparing your time," Stephanie said gratefully."It's no problem, Miss Collins. It's nice spending time with you," he replied."You must have important matters to attend to. I wouldn't want to bother you any longer."Michael nodded as her statement quickly reminded him of something."I remember that I haven't been able to sit with Mrs. Collins to know what she has to tell me. I promise to visit her this evening."Stephanie was surprised by Michael's words. She wasn't expecting the visit. "Really? That would be great."Michael nodded and assured her."It's alright, then. See you in the evening," Stephanie said as she bid farewell to Michael, and they both took different paths.......Inside the mall, Erica was still fixing the vase using the knowledge she gained from a video she saw on the Internet some time ago.The onlookers all had disgusted glares at Erica for what she was doing. It was

Michael was in a cab, his mind a bit worried about where he could find rare stones to assist himself.Before he left home that morning, he attempted to absorb the energy of his natural environment, but it was impossible.This was because the fake black opal he used last night had weakened his breathing ability.To solve this, he needed a metaphysical stone with soothing energy.Unfortunately, these stones are rarely available at gemstone galleries or at just any locations. They are treasures mostly kept secret by those who possess them.For the sake of whatever the next moment might hold, Michael needed to resolve these issues as soon as possible.He concluded that he would need the assistance of someone who had an idea of where to find these rare stones.As the cab sped away, Michael sighed and muttered under his breath, "Before I find anyone, something has to be done.".........Later in the day, Austin went to Heritage Market. This market is located downtown in the city and is popu

Inside the car, Michael and Steelheart's eyes instantly lit up in shock."He shot him?!" the guard commander asked in confusion as they watched Sage remain still in the distance.The question hung in the air as neither of them had an answer.Meanwhile, Sage in the distance let out a chuckle as he turned to the gangsters and asked, "Hehe! I heard the sound of a knockout just now. Are we in a festive period?"The gangsters' eyes widened in annoyance as they listened to Sage's trash talk.Some of them felt pity for him, as he had no idea where he had just wandered. If only he was aware that he was presently in a lion's den.Sadly, no one has ever entered a lion's den in the past and come out alive.A smug smile appeared on the gang leader's face as he expected Sage to regain his senses at this moment, but it seemed the liquor had clouded his judgment.Sage didn't drop his act as he asked again in a slurred manner, "I guess it's a new year! What year is this?"The smile on the gang leader

The air in the atmosphere was instantly seized at the mention of the deadly group.Michael's attention heightened on the gangsters as he remembered Silas' encounter with one of them yesterday.If they hadn't been careful in handling the matter, a war might have broken out.Given how troubling the information about Don Leo and his men was, Michael turned to the elderly man and curiously asked, "How do you know the gangsters are Don Leo's men?"Sage shook his head and responded seriously, "Mr. Quinn, I saw the group's distinctive machete with one of the gangsters."Steelheart's attention was on the group too and caught sight of the machete Sage was referring to."You're right, Sage. I saw the curved-blade machete as well. The well-known machete is the symbol of Don Leonardo's group."A deep sigh echoed in the car as the group's identity was clarified.Even though they had no business with the group, nothing guaranteed an easy pass before them.There was a chance the group was behind all

Sage's eyes widened in shock at the sight of the vehicles, and he shouted at the top of his voice in utmost fear, "Oh my! The kidnappers have added numbers! What do we do now?!"Michael and Steelheart's attention was piqued as they had their eyes on the lineup of vans this time.Even though they had no exact idea about their mission, the rate at which the vans were struggling to catch up with them was alarming and could not be neglected, leaving them in a clueless state."Stay relaxed, Sage. We should figure this out together," Michael suggested as Steelheart continued to cautiously drive along the pothole-ridden road."My brain feels so blank at the moment! I can't even think of anything!" Sage vented his frustration, looking terrified."Let's set aside our worries, Sage. How about we give the situation a chance to handle itself?" Steelheart suggested.The elderly man let out a deep sigh, giving up inwardly. With how close the van was to them, he had already lost hope.Given that Ste

Sage was the first person to notice the sight of the van through the rearview mirror. Then, he called the others' attention."Mr. Quinn, I thought this was an abandoned road. Where could this van be heading?" A hint of fear was evident in the elderly man's voice.Michael turned to look in that direction and saw the black van in a close distance. Even though research had informed him about the crime on the lonely and unsafe route, he maintained a positive mindset."You don't have to panic, Sage. As long as they don't cross our path, we have no business worrying about whatever their destination may be."Sage sighed deeply as his gaze became blurry while staring at the rearview mirror.He couldn't feel unbothered about the matter as Michael had suggested. He understood Michael was only trying to put his mind at ease.The elderly man wiped his face with his palm, fixing his eyes on the rearview mirror to determine if he was the one overthinking things.However, from the look of things, Sa

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

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
Chapter 118
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

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
