Chapter 854 - Chapter 854 Chapter 854 Snow Wave Mountain

Chapter 854: Chapter 854: Snow Wave Mountain Chapter 854: Chapter 854: Snow Wave Mountain “Miss!!”

Gale cried out in shock, instinctively wanting to block the attack, but due to his severe injury, he was too weak to act in time.

Both froze in place, clearly feeling a gust of wind approaching head-on, a strong killing intent locking them in place, rendering them unable to move.

Whoosh!

However, just in the nick of time, a sound of something cutting through the air abruptly arose, and before the two could react, a dazzling golden light instantly penetrated the head of the yak.

This caused the yak to shudder violently, its blood-red eyes becoming hollow, and with a thud, it fell straight to the ground, lifeless.

“This…”

Sherry Webb was slightly startled, not understanding what had happened.

On the other hand, Gale, with a look of astonishment, pointed not far away, “Miss Webb, you… you look!”

Following the direction of his finger, Sherry Webb saw a man and two women approaching leisurely. Even if she was slow to react, she could roughly guess that the death of the yak was related to these people.

Having realized this, she quickly got up and approached them unsteadily, “Thank you for saving our lives! I… I am from the Webb Family of Octavia.”

She thought that since these three people were near Octavia, they must have heard of the Webb Family, and thus she revealed her identity.

But when Greg Jensen heard this, he just hummed in acknowledgment, then started to examine the yak, his gaze revealing disappointment.

He had thought this ferocious beast might be something extraordinary, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be just stronger in spirit, with a too inferior bloodline, making it useless to him.

As for the girl from whichever family she claimed, he cared even less.

“Hmm, don’t mention it, I was just passing by,” Greg Jensen said with a smile, not planning to waste any more time here, “Since there’s nothing else, we’ll be taking our leave now.”

With that, he prepared to leave with Karen Milton and the others.

Who knew that in the next second, old Mr. Gale would hurriedly say, “Wait… wait a moment, sir, could we hitch a ride with you into Octavia?”

He gestured towards the scattered gold, silver, precious stones, and the wrecked carriages, “We were attacked by ferocious beasts, and our means of transport is completely destroyed. With so much treasure and without a vehicle, we… we simply can’t get back!”

“Yes, yes, yes, if you’re willing to take us, we are willing to share half of these jewels with you!”

Sherry Webb regained her senses and added hurriedly, as if afraid he would refuse.

Greg Jensen paused, then turned around, cold as ice, “I’m not interested in these jewels; you’ll have to think of another way yourselves.”

Frankly, having intervened was already an act of kindness; he had no obligation to serve as their driver.

As for money… being the Dragon King of the Dragon King’s Palace, he could have as much as he wanted and certainly didn’t need this small amount.

He exchanged a glance with Karen Milton, and they continued to stride away.

Sherry Webb was instantly anxious, knowing that without a vehicle, she and old Mr. Gale wouldn’t possibly be able to return. With bad luck, they might even encounter an attack by ferocious beasts, or at the very least, fall prey to thieves enticed by the sight of wealth.

“Sir, sir!”

She called out, “If you’re not interested in these jewels, what about the fine Jasper and Jade stone?”

“Our Webb Family is the Jade Great Clan of Octavia, owning eight premium veins. Why don’t you name a price!”

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Greg Jensen paused again, his expression slightly surprised, “You’re from the Jade Great Clan and own eight veins?”

You should know that the Spirit Stones he was looking for are actually a general term; if the location is good, some Jasper and Jade stones can also contain nature’s spiritual energy and become Spirit Stones.

Even if it is of slightly lesser quality, such as Jasper or Jade Stones, wearing them can nourish people.

It was not only him; even Karen Milton and Zoey Milton were somewhat surprised, as they hadn’t expected the two people they had casually saved to be from the Jade Great Clan of Octavia.

“Yes, to be more precise, our family owns eight premium veins and more than a dozen ordinary veins. The Jasper and Jade stones from the surrounding countries all come from us!”

Sherry Webb nodded earnestly.

Gale, the old butler, with his sharp eyes, immediately noticed Greg Jensen’s strong interest in Jasper and Jade stones and said:

“In the entire realm of Octavia, none dare to claim they’re first if the Webb Family says they’re second! If this gentleman is here to purchase Jade in Octavia, it would be worth your while to cooperate with us!”

After pondering for a while, Greg Jensen considered that it might be worth a visit, and perhaps he could indeed find a source of Spirit Stones without much effort.

“Alright! I’ll take you along.”

Following that, Gale the butler began picking up the scattered gold, silver, and jewels from the ground.

Greg Jensen drove the car, dumping all those items into the trunk, and rushed into the territory of Octavia with the four of them nonstop.

Looking out of the window, one could see luxurious castles, full of exotic charm, forming a stark contrast to the ruins commonly seen in the Eight countries in Southeast.

During the journey, Greg Jensen asked Sherry Webb about the Snow Wave Mountain.

Because, according to the map, it wasn’t too far from there, and since he had come all this way, whether he managed to get enough Spirit Stones from them or not, Snow Wave Mountain was worth a visit.

Unexpectedly, Sherry Webb frowned and said:

“Mr. Ouyang, to be accurate, Snow Wave Mountain was originally ours too, but… some changes occurred later, and the property rights slipped away. If not, we would have had more than just eight premium sources!”

Through further inquiry, he learned that the geographical distribution of Snow Wave Mountain was quite special–the left half lay within the Webb Family’s territory while the right half lay within the Williams Family’s territory.

For a long time, both prominent families had been fighting over the territory of Snow Wave Mountain, frequently engaging in small-scale skirmishes, and both sides had paid a heavy price.

However, just half a month ago, the property rights certificate of Snow Wave Mountain that the Webb Family held disappeared without a trace. They searched the entire castle but found nothing, and it was only then that they realized it had been stolen.

They had no choice but to suspect that the ones who stole the certificate were their rivals competing for Snow Wave Mountain–the Williams Family. They had deliberately engaged in several rounds of negotiations with them, hoping they would return the item.

But to their surprise, the Williams Family claimed that their certificate of property rights had also been stolen.

Initially, both sides were suspicious of each other, for in Octavia, only the other was bold enough to take such action. Without any evidence, however, they dared not wage open war.

Greg Jensen was somewhat surprised upon hearing this, “You’re so particular about property rights here?”

In the Eight countries in Southeast, there was really no concept of certificates; whoever could dominate a mountain was seen as its owner, without ever losing control over a whole mountain range because of a piece of paper.

Karen Milton couldn’t help but ask, “And if the certificate can’t be found indefinitely, what will happen to Snow Wave Mountain? Will it become a place anyone can enter?”

“Yeah, your Webb Family has been occupying half of Snow Wave Mountain all along, even if you’ve lost the certificate, you could still get a proof of claim!”

Zoey Milton chimed in, clearly puzzled by the whole situation.
