Daddy the Miracle Medic

Chapter 458 Scapegoat?

Feeling this fluctuation, Lachlan was amazed.

He thought that after the dragon soul in the Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant entered his body and he gained its inheritance, the jade pendant became nothing more than a useless stone. After all, it had turned gray and white, right?

Even the slightest hint of spiritual energy contained in ordinary jade no longer existed.

The only reason Lachlan still kept it and even carried it with him in his mustard seed bag was to keep a memento of it.

But unexpectedly, at this moment, this jade pendant... had a special fluctuation?

Lachlan probed his consciousness into the mustard seed bag. The next second, he looked towards a certain direction with sharp eyes.

Following the Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant's fluctuation, his gaze fell on another pile of stones. He walked over there step by step.

Monty paused for a moment before following Lachlan's footsteps.

In that direction, a middle-aged man with dark skin and a small stature stood nearby, watching as Monty directed the unloading of the truck. Seeing Monty and Lachlan approaching together, the man showed a warm smile to Monty.

"Mr. Atkinson, you came in person today?" he greeted.

Monty nodded and looked at the stones being unloaded with an expressionless face. He asked casually, "Carson, did you send these over?"

Carson Porter nodded, "Mr. Atkinson, our boss said that this batch of Yellow Dragon Jade rough stones is sold to you at the lowest market price. You should take care of our business in the future! Haha..." Monty scoffed, "Cut the act! The stones from your new pit are all impurities. If it weren't for your boss begging me with a straight face, I wouldn't even buy them at a cheaper price. Can't you give me the lowest price?"

Hearing this, Carson smiled awkwardly, showing a trace of embarrassment on his face, but he didn't dare to retort. Monty was speaking the truth.

Their mine had recently been discovered, and initially, the boss thought they had hit the jackpot. However, they later realized that the Yellow Dragon Jade polished from the mined stones was full of impurities. The quality was particularly poor.

Monty had cooperated with Carson's boss before, so he gave them face and bought a batch at a discounted price. But now, Carson came to Monty and boasted about giving him the lowest market price, which Monty found displeasing.

At this moment, Monty turned to Lachlan and asked with some surprise, "Mr. Willis, do you like Yellow Dragon Jade?"

He didn't expect Lachlan to ignore the top-quality stones from Myanland and come here instead. Monty assumed it was because Lachlan liked Yellow Dragon Jade.

Lachlan calmly nodded, his starry eyes fixed on the batch of Yellow Dragon Jade rough stones, revealing a hint of excitement.

In the next moment, he walked over, squatted down, and casually picked up a stone to examine. Through the surface of the rough stone, he could see that the Yellow Dragon Jade inside was filled with "impurities" of earthy yellow or even black color, some of which were even clumped together.

In terms of the appearance of the jade alone, it was indeed of poor quality. However, Lachlan knew that these things inside were not really "impurities" but a treasure called "Earth Marvel Soil Crystal." Each person's constitution leaned towards one of the five elemental attributes, and Lachlan knew that his constitution belonged to the earth attribute. This might be the reason why he awakened the ability called "Pulse of the Earth."

Inside these Earth Marvel Soil Crystals, there was an extremely rich concentration of earth elements, an invaluable treasure for Lachlan.

If it weren't for the sudden fluctuation of the Dragon-shaped Jade Pendant, Lachlan wouldn't have noticed it himself and almost missed this precious find.

"Mr. Willis, if you like Yellow Dragon Jade, I have better ones over there! The quality is much better than this batch! To put it bluntly, these are just a batch of junk. I'm planning to sell them at a low price," Monty said, "reminding" him, afraid that if Lachlan discovered the problem with this batch of stones, he would blame him.

However, Lachlan shook his head, "No need, I want these stones! Mr. Atkinson, whatever price you bought them for, I'll pay you double. How about that?"

Upon hearing this, Monty looked astonished and gave Lachlan a strange look.

"Mr. Willis, if you really like them, I'll give them to you. How can I take your money for this kind of junk?" Monty said.

"No, I insist on paying the full price. I don't mind," Lachlan waved his hand, expressing his seriousness.

"That... just give them to me at the original price! I only spent ten million to buy this batch of stones."

Seeing Lachlan's determination, Monty stopped making excuses. At that moment, Carson, the dark-skinned middle-aged man standing nearby, witnessed the scene and his eyes lit up.

The next second, he approached Lachlan with a smile and asked, "Friend, you like these stones? Our jade mine is full of this type of stone. Would you be interested?"

He thought he had come across an ignorant fool today! To think that someone would offer to buy this batch of stones at double the price?

Lachlan's eyes brightened at the offer and he nodded, "Yes! Where is your jade mine?"

"It's in Lacrusau County, Yeginia, but

it's a new mine. You wouldn't be able

to find it on your own. If you're

interested, I can take you there," Carson asked eagerly, as if he had stumbled upon a big fish. If he could bring back a gullible buyer who would pay a high price for this low-quality Yellow Dragon Jade rough, his boss would surely reward him handsomely.

"Alright, give me a contact information, and if I decide to go, I'll reach out to you," Lachlan replied, intrigued. However, he couldn't leave Edoland at the moment since he had already made plans with Raphael, who was scheduled to arrive the next day. He couldn't stand him up.

"Deal! But you better hurry. This batch of rough stones is selling fast. If you're late, they might be gone," Carson chuckled.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

As soon as he said that, Monty snorted coldly and rebuked him. He couldn't believe that this guy was trying to pass off the unsellable low-quality Yellow Dragon Jade as a sought-after item.

But since Lachlan insisted on buying, Monty had no choice. He assumed Lachlan had money to spare and nowhere to spend it. Besides, with his discerning eye, he shouldn't be oblivious to the quality of this batch of Yellow Dragon Jade. Perhaps he had his own motives.

So Monty advised him a few more times, implying his concerns, but he didn't say much further.
