After that, Claus reached out, took the blackstone from Philip, put it up to the light outside, and said, “Well, it’s a blackstone alright. Although not very pure, the quality is quite good. How much did you buy it for?”
Claus returned the blackstone to Philip after saying that.
Philip smiled and said, “2,000.”
Claus nodded and said, “You’ve made a profit, then. You should be able to sell this blackstone for hundreds of thousands of dollars on the black market.”
Hearing this, Philip’s heart skipped a beat. The price of this small stone had jumped from 2,000 to hundreds of thousands within a few minutes?
Although Philip was not short of money, he was still agitated.
“Mr. Motley, you mentioned just now that this is a blackstone. Is there anything special about it? Why is it so valuable?” Philip asked.
Claus glanced at Philip and asked with a smile, “Is this your first time here?”
Philip nodded and smiled with a shrug.
Claus also laughed and explained unhurriedly, “Most ordinary people can’t tell blackstone apart, and many stone diggers will treat them as worthless stones. Moreover, ordinary people can’t use this blackstone. Only people with special means or special organizations can use this blackstone, so if you want to take it off your hands, you generally have to go to the black market.”
After saying that, he looked at Philip and said, “Since it’s your first time here, why don’t you sell this blackstone to me for 200,000?”
Hearing that, Philip looked at Claus and said, “Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Motley, but I don’t plan to sell this blackstone.”
Upon hearing this, a bodyguard behind Claus immediately pointed at Philip and scolded, “Boy, what did you say? How dare you speak to our boss like this?”
“Hey, don’t be rude,” Claus’ face was slightly angry as he glared at his subordinate, who immediately lowered his head. Then, he smiled and said, “I’m sorry for not taking him in hand. I hope you don’t mind.”
Philip smiled, unconcerned. Then, he turned to leave.
Claus looked in the direction Philip was headed and shook his head slightly. When Claus was about to leave, he suddenly stopped and asked, “What did he say his name was?”
“Philip Clarke, Dragon King,” the bodyguard replied.
