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."

    "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 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

    A quick confusion took over the floor, and Lauren called to stop her, "Wait, Stella!""Stella! It's Mr. Quinn, the man who saved your life!" Stephanie tried to stop her too.However, none of their efforts were helpful. She didn't even bother to give any of them a second glance. This made them feel embarrassed in front of Michael.Stephanie quickly ran after her before things turned out badly, like the last time she left the banquet hall strangely.The last time Stella left the banquet hall, she was at the peak of rage. Before anyone could reach her, she had already begun to destroy things.After a couple of minutes of being outrageous, she felt calm and relieved. This made the Collins family very worried.

    There was total silence. The crowd found it funny that Austin dared to challenge a nobody like Michael. He doesn't even have the money for the cheapest drink in Skyline, let alone Petrus Wine.Not only that it's impossible; it can never happen.Michael, who maintained a calm demeanor, raised his head and answered, "Austin, do you think three bottles of Petrus Wine is a big deal?""No long talk, Michael. Just go on and order the wine." Austin pushed him further.Without wasting time, Michael slipped the card Austin had given him earlier in the day out of his pocket. He handed it to the waiter and ordered, "I want six bottles of Petrus Wine."The crowd was shocked. They wondered if Michael had lost his mind. Didn't he know what he was saying at all?

    "That's impossible!" Austin disagreed. However, he couldn't remember how much he had left on his card, as he had spent so much recently.He never expected his card to run out of funds just like that.Instantly, the waiter provided his card and the transaction slip. "You can have a look at it, sir."Austin's eyes scanned the slip, and they landed on the total of the transactions. His mind exploded when he saw the amount. It was eight million, seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars.A cold sweat broke out on Austin's forehead. He wouldn't have thought about the drag if he had noticed he only had a few million remaining on his savings card.Austin was filled with regret and wished he could turn back time.Meanwhile, the onlookers began to praise him.

    "Good evening, Mrs. Noah. How are you?" Michael responded calmly."I'm okay, sir. Could you please spare me a minute of your time?" Vivian requested politely.This left the crowd astounded, as did Austin. They wondered why the beautiful Vivian could be so polite to Michael.Michael was just a lowly-paid waiter at Skyline before he got sacked. Where did this respect come from all of a sudden?While they were still in befuddlement, Michael and Vivian took a few steps away from the crowd to have a discussion.Everything going on at this moment still feels more like a dream to Austin. Why on earth would Vivian be so gentle and respectful toward the broke Michael?Without thinking about it too long, he dismissed the thought and concluded that Vivian was just naturally a polite young lady. There was nothing special.However, Austin couldn't hold in the pain of all the money Michael had made him lose within a short period.
