Reborn From Ashes novel Chapter 224

In his past life, Hayden had seen a news report about a stunning discovery at a quarry in Stonybrook. A gem of exceptional quality had been unearthed. It was selling for an astounding 300 million. The news caused a sensation at the time.

This memory was particularly vivid for Hayden because of the gem's serial number, 0918. It happened to match Lily's birthday.

Now, standing in the gemstone market, Hayden carefully inspected the available gems, scanning one by one for that specific number.

Hayden, Lily, and Christina looked like children compared to the seasoned traders. Their presence immediately caught the attention of the onlookers, who were surprised to see someone so young delving into such a high-stakes trade.

"Hayden, do you know how to do this? Should we buy one of those flashlights? Everyone else seems to have one," Jenny suggested.

"That's not a regular flashlight. It's a high-intensity light for checking translucency," Christina explained helpfully. As someone who often live-streamed and followed others in similar industries, she was no stranger to the practice.

"No need," Hayden replied calmly, his tone unwavering.

"So… are we just browsing, or are you planning to buy something?" Jenny asked.

"Of course, we are buying!" Hayden nodded.

His words took Christina by surprise. "You're actually buying? You shouldn't take such a risk! This is a murky business."

"I know. As murky as that emerald bracelet deal," replied Hayden.

Christina's face instantly darkened from his remark. She shot him an annoyed glare. Of all things, he just had to bring that up. How infuriating!
