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

"Huh? The black opal?!""One of the rarest stones in the world?!"The onlookers continued to comment. This made Austin feel happy and satisfied. The intense shock on the onlookers' faces was everything to him.In a flash, the news circulated in the market, and the chubby man's shop became crowded. His fellow shopkeepers also left their trades to join him.The black opal was the rare stone the whole market had been longing to find. Now that they had heard news about it, none of them could afford to miss it.This time, the chubby shopkeeper felt disappointed in Austin. When he knows he had such a valuable stone for sale and wanted him to make a fortune from it, a low-key transaction would have been better.Given that the chubby shopkeeper also knew that Austin barely have knowledge about gemstones, it would have been a great opportunity for him to trick Austin and buy the stone at a lower price.Now that he had disclosed it publicly, it would be more of a bidding war. Austin was known f

"Austin Graham, I was expecting your arrival before one of my boys informed me that you are already here," Elysian said as he walked closer.Austin's face twisted in concern; he was worried that Elysian must have found out about everything that happened between him and the shopkeepers. For that reason, he might slash the price he had to pay for the stone.Quickly, he faked a smile at Elysian and lied, "That's true. Some items caught my attention, and I got carried away. Hehe!"Even though Elysian was aware of the truth, he didn't take Austin's dishonesty to heart. Elysian Gray had informed all the storekeepers that he needed a black opal. Since the price Elysian attached to it was captivating, they had all been searching for it.Austin might have thought that he was disappointed as things went, but the shopkeepers were more disappointed.As Elysian Gray, whom they wanted to sell the rare stone to, was already present."It's no problem, Mr. Graham. You own the black opal and have the f
The Unexpected Ultimacy Chapter 85
The crowd was shocked as they began to respond to Austin's questions."It means your stone is useless!""It's a fabricated stone!""Dude! You have a fake stone! I thought you said it was an inheritance from your great-grandfather?"The crowd burst into laughter as someone asked the question.This made Austin feel stupid and embarrassed for lying about his ancestors.But he quickly embraced it to avoid looking like a coward. "Yes, it is! This stone has been in our possession for more than 100 years! It's genuine.""Wow!" The crowd was stunned by the information. But Elysian was sure of his verification.Aside from his earlier observation, he noticed the stone also appeared dull. A genuine black opal has a vibrant and three-dimensional color play.To clarify further, Elysian said, "Let's give it another strike to find out."He struck the hammer against it, but nothing changed. He gave it one more strike, but the stone remained hard and unscathed.Without wasting time, Elysian dropped th

It was already evening. After Michael's overall attempt to find a solution to his problem, all he could find was an herbal root.Even though the herbal root can't cure the problem he has at hand, it will be useful in the future.For that reason, he safely kept it, then headed to the Collins mansion as he had promised.In a couple of minutes, he arrived in front of the magnificent mansion of the Collins family.Stephanie, who had been patiently waiting for his arrival, hurried to welcome him."You stick to your promises, Mr. Quinn. You are such a noble, gentle man," she said impressively, with a smile on her face."You're welcome to the Collins residence.""Thank you, Miss Collins. It feels good to pay a visit," Michael replied, glancing at the beautiful building till his gaze fell on Stephanie.The young lady was wearing a pair of pants and a simple top. She had no jewellery on, nor makeup. Despite that, her beauty still illuminated the atmosphere.To Michael, it felt like it was his

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

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
