Chapter 62
Secing this. Hannah quickly introduced Ethan, and Jovan's face eased up.
Ethan thought of something. Jovan appeared to have benefited In some way from Hannah, worried that his business would be abruptly taken away by someone.
This alone reduced Jovan to nothing more than a self-righteous man.regardless of whether he was actually an expert in mineral appraisal.
Originally,Ethan 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 Clint made him see that something fishy was going on while Hannah was completely unaware of this situation.
"Alex, take a look and see if any of these stones catch your eye. I can get you one as a gift!" Hannah asked Ethan, who was observing a pile of stones.
Upon hearing this, Clint and Jovan looked at each other, both revealing a surprised expression.
"That's alright, I don't like taking advantage of people. Even if I really like something, I'll just buy it myself!" Ethan 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.
Hannah didn't insist after hearing his answer, but Clint 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!"
"Clint, Alox is my friond. Why aro you spoaking to him like that?"
Hannah's cyobrows furrowod at his word1s. and she scolded him dissatisfiedly.
"Miss Collins. I'm just kindly rominding him so that your friendl doosn't make a fool of himsolf later!"
Clint sneered dismissively.
On the other hand, Ethan remained completely silent, ignoring Clint's mocking remarks as if he wasn't listening at all.
"Can I touch these stones?" Ethan asked Hannah.
“Of course, as long as you don't damage them!" Hannah nodded.
"So,you know nothing!"
Upon hearing this, Clint chuckled and then exchanged a glance with Jovan. 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!" Hannah instructed Ethan before catching up with Clint.
Hannah had asked Clint to bring the so-called Mr. Foster here today to find some reliable jadeite ore for her company.
Ethan 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, Ethan 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 Ethan 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, Ethan 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!
Ethan 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?
