Chapter 857: Chapter 857: The Supreme Gold Card Chapter 857: Chapter 857: The Supreme Gold Card A quarter of an hour later, in the castle guest room.

With the Four-tailed White Fox relaying the news to Greg Jensen,

the two of them suddenly came to a realization, finally understanding that the land deed to Snow Wave Mountain was indeed lost, and now, it had been sent to an auction house by an unknown person.

“To steal the land deed and then sell it, isn’t this doing extra work for nothing? Could it be that the person behind this just wants to take this opportunity to make a big chunk of money?”

Zoey Milton couldn’t help but speculate about the motives behind the scenes, but upon closer thought, this logic also made no sense.

She quickly shook her head, denying her own suggestion, “No, I think their doing so must be to legitimately acquire the land deed. That way, even if the two big families suspect anyone, they can’t really do anything to them.”

It could be fairly certain that the local auction house was supported by official and multiple financial tycoons. As long as the land deed circulated there once, all crimes and evidence could be whitewashed.

If it were just for money, the person behind the scenes wouldn’t need to go through so much trouble, especially since, once the account details were clarified, given the reach of the two big families in Octavia, they wouldn’t let them off easily.

“Senior, what do you think? Should we just sit here and watch them fight it out among themselves and make a decision after a winner is decided?”

Zoey Milton took a deep breath, turning her head with confusion.

In her view, Wren Webb had no intention of meeting them at all, and the will to cooperate was probably not feasible in the short term.

As for lending a hand… there was no point in even discussing it. Even Williams, with his substantial financial backing, was bluntly refused, so Wren Webb would be even less likely to accept their money!

Because once he accepted private money, it meant there was a right to become a shareholder, which was exactly the opposite of Wren Webb’s goal. He planned to take advantage of this opportunity to have Snow Wave Mountain entirely to himself.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have bothered taking out loans with the official banks, and indeed, from the negotiations, Greg Jensen had reason to suspect that the loss of the land deed had something to do with the Webb Family as well.

Of course, there was not much evidence at the moment, only preliminary suspicions.

“This matter is quite controversial, and it’s hard to say who will end up with the land deed of Snow Wave Mountain. If we wait until they have decided a victor to make a decision, we may inadvertently find ourselves at a disadvantage.”

After pondering for a while, Greg Jensen made a bold decision, “We will also participate in this auction! Instead of watching them bid for Snow Wave Mountain to determine our loss or gain, we might as well take matters into our own hands at Dragon King’s Palace!”

Just as previously mentioned, if the land deed ended up in the hands of the Webb Family, they would definitely be able to procure a large amount of Spirit Stones thanks to Sherry’s relationship.

But people stumble, horses falter, and no one can guarantee that the land deed won’t be snatched by someone else. After the dust settles, who the Spirit Stones will be supplied to is also uncertain.

Therefore, to be absolutely sure, it would be better for him to buy Snow Wave Mountain directly, as he himself needed a large amount of Spirit Stones to forge The Angel of Burning Armor.

Even if he didn’t use them all, selling the mined Spirit Stones would also make a lot of money.

What now needed to be clarified was how much pure Spirit Stone the mine on Snow Wave Mountain contained, and whether the value matched the money spent.

Knock, knock, knock!

As they chatted casually, there was a knock at the door, and a familiar voice came from the outside:

“Brother Ouyang, are you available right now?”

“Come in, Sherry, we’re not busy at the moment.”

Greg Jensen smiled, exchanging a glance with Zoey Milton, and they both stood up.

When the door opened, Sherry Webb came in with an old man, his hair white with age.

“Brother Ouyang, Sister Zoey, this is Mr. Frank Taylor, the chief butler of our Webb Family!”

Sherry chuckled lightly, gesturing as she introduced him, then turned to the old butler and said:

“Mr. Taylor, this is Brother Ouyang, whom I mentioned to you, the benefactor who saved Mr. Gale and me on our way!”

Hearing this, Greg Jensen smiled and exchanged handshakes with Mr. Taylor, greeting him.

“I’m genuinely sorry, young Brother Ouyang. The Family Head is preoccupied with important matters and couldn’t come to meet you in person. He asked me to apologize on his behalf, and he hopes you won’t take it to heart!”

Mr. Taylor, already prepared with an excuse, beamed as he pulled a gold card from his pocket, “This is a small token of our Family Head’s appreciation, young Brother Ouyang. Please, accept it!”

The card was substantial, made of pure gold, engraved with clear patterns, with a dragon that seemed to appear and disappear. On its front, a string of numbers indicated that it was a local Supreme Bank Card.

Not to mention the amount of money it contained, just its prestige alone would ensure the highest treatment in any bank it was presented at.

However, Greg Jensen declined the generous offer without a second thought, “Mr. Taylor, please convey my thanks to the Webb Family Head for his kind intentions, but I cannot accept this money.”

“There’s no need to be modest, young Brother Ouyang. You saved our Miss Sherry, and this twenty million is well-deserved. Moreover, from now on, the three of you are honored guests of the Webb Family, and we await your visit at any time!”

Mr. Taylor waved his hand, hurriedly explaining, indicating that the bank card wasn’t just a payoff for saving Sherry, and could be accepted with peace of mind.

“Heh, I think Mr. Taylor, you have misunderstood me,”

Greg Jensen shook his head, “Helping Miss Sherry was simply me stepping in when I saw injustice. If I hadn’t learned from Miss Sherry that your family is the Jade Great Clan, and I happened to be intending to purchase jade, I wouldn’t have presumed to visit unexpectedly!”

On hearing this, Mr. Taylor seemed to suddenly understand, “Are you saying you’d like to purchase a large amount of jade from us?”

“Exactly! And not just any jade, but high-quality Spirit Stone Jade!”

“That’s not a problem at all. We, the Webb Family, are never short of jade. Whatever amount you need, we have… Oh, wait a minute, did you just say Spirit Stone Jade? That’s…”

Mr. Taylor initially assured with confidence, but halfway through his statement, he realized the gravity of the request, appearing quite surprised.

You see, Spirit Stone Jade is a rarity among jades, more expensive and scarce than any Glass-type or Emperor Green.

In the past, this type of Spirit Stone Jade was cherished for its ability to purify the mind and beneficially affect one’s health, beloved by the wealthy elite.

With the Rebirth of Spiritual Energy, people discovered that this type of stone could absorb nature’s spiritual energy, which sent its price skyrocketing by more than tenfold.

The entire mining industry barely extracts five hundred kilograms of Spirit Stones a year, typically kept for internal use, rarely sold in large quantities.

He hadn’t expected the man before him to have such a large appetite, actually intending to purchase Spirit Stone Jade in bulk.

“What’s the matter? Mr. Taylor, are you unwilling?”

Greg Jensen noticed his expression change, and smiled, “You needn’t worry about the other details, just tell me how much it will cost!”

“No… it’s not about the money, really… sigh, the truth is, we’ve run into some trouble recently, and we don’t have much Spirit Stone Jade on hand. If you’re in a hurry, I’m afraid you might have to wait a while!”
