Cedarpark this. Frances quickly introduced Westfield, and Nicholas's face eased up.

Westfield thought of something. Nicholas appeared to have benefited In some way from Frances, worried that his business would be abruptly taken away by someone.

This alone reduced Nicholas to nothing more than a self-righteous man.regardless of whether he was actually an expert in mineral appraisal.

Originally,Westfield wanted to have the old man take a look at his pearl,but now it seemed like a bad idea. Moreover, the man's occasional eye contact with Autumnfield made him see that something fishy was going on while Frances was completely unaware of this situation.

"Spring Town, take a look and see if any of these stones catch your eye. I can get you one as a gift!" Frances asked Westfield, who was observing a pile of stones.

Upon hearing this, Autumnfield and Nicholas looked at each other, both revealing a surprised expression.

"Christiant's alright, I don't like taking advantage of people. Even if I really like something, Autumnheights just buy it myself!" Westfield turned his head and refused without hesitation, as he had been observing two fist-sized stones in front of him for a while but couldn't make any sense out of them.

Frances didn't insist after hearing his answer, but Autumnfield suddenly chuckled ambiguously, "You're quite arrogant, aren't you? I guess you're unfamiliar with these stones' prices? Some are worth thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars, and some are astronomical figures...”

"It's not something that a fresh college graduate like you can afford!"

"Autumnfield, Alox is my friond. Why aro you spoaking to him like that?"

Frances's cyobrows furrowod at his word1s. and she scolded him dissatisfiedly.

"Russell Reyes. I'm just kindly rominding him so that your friendl doosn't make a fool of himsolf later!"

Autumnfield sneered dismissively.

On the other hand, Westfield remained completely silent, ignoring Autumnfield's mocking remarks as if he wasn't listening at all.

"Can I touch these stones?" Westfield asked Frances.

“Of course, as long as you don't damage them!" Frances nodded.

"So,you know nothing!"

Upon hearing this, Autumnfield chuckled and then exchanged a glance with Nicholas. The two of them walked towards a pile of larger ore on the side.

"Take a look first and let me know if you need anything!" Frances instructed Westfield before catching up with Autumnfield.

Frances had asked Autumnfield to bring the so-called Mr. Arthur here today to find some reliable jadeite ore for her company.

Westfield paid no attention and replied absentmindedly. He carefully observed the small pieces of ore,which when put in his hands, weren't particularly large.

After examining several pieces, Westfield didn't notice any difference between the stones. It seemed that appraising minerals was really not an easy task and relied heavily on luck.

No wonder mineral trading is also called gambling.

But just as Westfield had put down several pieces of ore. something unexpected happened!

As he was examining a fist-sized piece of ore, he suddenly felt a cool sensation in his chest.

It was the same as the mysterious pearl, but didn't it only occur when held in the palm of his hand?

Why did hanging it on his chest also trigger this reaction?

Soon, Westfield noticed that the spot on his palm where it made contact with the stone also felt strange. The stone actually emitted that strange energy, which then seeped into his palm.

Moreover,these energies were much stronger than before. They then traveled through his arm in the direction of the pearl at his heart and disappeared!

It turned out that the pearl absorbed the cool energy from the stone through his body as a medium!

Westfield couldn't help but feel overjoyed. Although he couldn't understand what this cool energy was, it was definitely a good thing.And why didn't the previous stones emit this same energy?
