Chapter 2894
Philip did not expect the starstone to react all of a sudden.
He picked up the small black stone without a change in his expression and looked at it. He found nothing special
about it. It was just an ordinary stone.
At this time, the street vendor, who was in his 20s, counted the money in his hands from the transaction he just
made and said, “ Have you taken a fancy to this stone? It’s quite ordinary. It’s yours for 5,000.”
5,000? For a small stone like this?
“Is this stone so expensive?”
Philip pretended to ask in surprise.
The street vendor looked at Philip and said, “Buddy, you look unfamiliar. Are you new here?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPhilip did not deny it.
The other party immediately smiled and said, “This thing is from Mystic Mine Three. In fact, everything here is, so
the prices are definitely not cheap. Moreover, to tell you the truth, this stone has been here for three months but
no one wants it. Since you’re the first person who has taken a fancy to it, I’m willing to make a loss and will let you
have it for 3,000.”
Philip saw through the smiling face of the street vendor at a glance.
He said, “1,500.”
“No way! That’s a huge loss for me! ”
The vendor immediately snatched the stone back from Philip’s hand.
Philip was unconcerned. He got up and pretended to leave.
Seeing that, the vendor got anxious and said, “Well, seeing that this is your first time, let me do you a favor. 2,000!
That’s the lowest price I can give! ”
Philip did not hesitate and agreed with 2,000. He turned around, paid the money, took the stone, and left.
As soon as Philip left, the owner of the stall next door smiled at the vendor and said, “Not bad, buddy. You actually
sold a worthless rock for 2,000. You certainly know how to run a business.”
The street vendor wiped his nose and said with a smile, “It’s easy to trick rich fools like this.”
After Philip left the booth, he naturally heard the conversation between the two. A faint smile appeared on the
corner of his mouth.
2,000 for a worthless rock?
That was not certain.
After that, Philip did not continue to wander around but found a place to take a break. He took out the stone with
irregular contours.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe glanced at it carefully, wondering why the starstone in his pocket was reacting to it.
Philip took out the starstone, which felt a little hot to the touch and also glowed with a very faint golden luster at
this moment.
The pattern on the surface also became clearer.
As Philip observed the starstone and the black stone, a voice suddenly rang from behind him, “Not bad. You actually
found a blackstone.”
Hearing that, Philip quickly kept the starstone before he turned to the person who spoke behind him.
It was a middle-aged man with a scholarly look, a handsome face, and bright eyes. He was dressed in a blue suit
and held a book in his hand.
Two bodyguards in black suits stood behind him.
This middle-aged man looked very elegant and refined at first glance.
Philip smiled and said, “sir, do you know this stone?”
The middle-aged man closed the book, smiled faintly, and said, “ Don’t call me sir. My name is Claus Motley.”
Philip also smiled and said, “Philip clarke.”
