Chapter 207 White Pebble

+5 Bonus

That white pebble was as big as a fist and looked exactly like an ordinary pebble you’d find in a river.

However, the only unique thing about it was that ‘pax tecum‘–which means

‘peace be with thee‘–was engraved on it.

The inscription was rough and mediocre, so it was obviously engraved manually.

Pebbles like this were scattered everywhere, so it was no wonder the owner didn’t put it on sale earlier.

Alex picked up the pebble, and suddenly, his blood started to boil.

He had just sensed a strange force that was exuded from this stone!

It was no ordinary force as it possessed a strange power and magnitude that attracted him greatly.

Immediately, Alex recognized it as the Mana described in the Nine Heaven Scrolls!

According to the Nine Heaven Scrolls, Mana was a long–lost, mysterious energy that could transform one’s body and allow one to train and achieve many incredible feats! Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Alex was delighted, but his expression remained calm as he held the pebble for a while before returning it to the plastic sheet discreetly.

Then, he took another jadeite bracelet and asked, “How much is this jadeite bracelet?”

The owner was slightly flustered as he had accidentally brought out an item of value. He immediately replied, “This is a real family heirloom of mine. One hundred grand, and not a penny less.”

Alex nodded. He glanced at the jadeite bracelet, examining the remnants of the logo closely. It seemed to be a jadeite bracelet from the early 1920s, costing around fifty to eighty grand.

“Fifty grand,” Alex offered.

“Eighty grand. That’s my final offer. If you insist on lowering the price, I won’t sell it to you,” the owner answered seriously.

Alex pretended to hesitate before suggesting, “Eighty grand is too expensive. You need to give me a free gift. Otherwise, I won’t buy it.”

The owner immediately agreed. “Sure. Take your pick.”

The only genuine item at my stall is this jadeite bracelet anyway, he thought.

Alex pretended to scan through the stuff and shook his head. “I don’t like any of them.”

He then picked up the white pebble and said casually, “Whatever. This pebble is quite pretty, so I’ll take it.”

“Hey, this pebble is worthless. Choose something else!” Jessica uttered anxiously since Alex ended up picking this useless pebble.

However, when she recalled Alex was a wealthy man who wasn’t in need of money, she shut up immediately.

“I can drill a hole in it and hang it in my car as an ornament,” Alex chortled.

After paying for the items, Alex handed the bracelet to Jessica. “This is a genuine vintage jadeite bracelet. It will make a decent gift for your grandma.”

“Oh? Did you buy it for me?” Jessica asked in surprise. She was slightly embarrassed because Alex had paid for her.

“Why would I buy it if it weren’t for you? Take it,” Alex smiled.

“Thank you,” Jessica accepted his generous gesture and kept the bracelet in her bag happily. She knew that amount of money was nothing for Alex.

To Alex, eighty grand was as insignificant as a few pennies would be to Jessica.

Would Alex care?

Of course not.

All Alex wanted was that pebble. He held that pebble as a strange feeling arose in his heart. How incredible, he thought.

But for now, he couldn’t describe what that feeling was.

“Oh? What a nice pebble. I’ll have it!”

Right then, an arrogant voice sounded.

Alex frowned and looked toward that voice.
