“Mr. Chance, all of these were mined from the celestial crystal vein mine!” Jaime looked at Jared in confusion, not understanding why Jared was so excited.
Jared was also aware of the celestial crystal vein mine.
“That was fast! Has the vein mine been depleted?”
Jared furrowed his brows.
Although they had discovered a celestial crystal vein mine, the concentration within it was not high. After extracting these hundred thousand celestial crystals, it was likely that the vein mine would be depleted.
“No, at first, it seemed the vein mine had little to offer. But as we kept mining, we discovered the entire mountain is filled with celestial crystals. I estimate there are around a million celestial crystals,” Jaime said with a wide grin.
“What?” Jared exclaimed, gripping Jaime’s arm in excitement. “You’re not fooling me, are you?”
A million celestial crystals?
Even when bragging, Jared had only dared to boast about having a hundred thousand.
“Mr. Chance, I wouldn’t dare deceive you. I’ve already assigned extra hands to work through the night. If you still need more celestial crystals, I can deliver them to you in a couple of days,” Jaime said with a serious expression on his face.
Realizing that Jaime was not deceiving him, Jared took a deep breath, striving to calm himself, and then said, “I’ll reach out when I need more. Next time you deliver the celestial crystals, make sure to bring more people. This isn’t a trivial matter. These celestial crystals are highly sought after. Many cultivators are desperate enough to resort to any means to obtain them. Also, the existence of the celestial crystal vein mine must remain strictly confidential. Ensure that this information does not leak out under any circumstances!”
Jared was fearful that news of the celestial crystal vein mine would leak out. He was certain that it would draw a crowd to Beast City.
Although Beast City was surrounded by an illusion array, making it difficult for anyone to easily enter, there were always bigger fish in the sea. Even within the hidden forces of the Ethereal Realm, there were array experts.
Once the illusion array surrounding Beast City was broken, it would spell utter disaster for the city.
“Rest assured, Mr. Chance, no one will be able to leave Beast City,” Jaime assured confidently.
“All right, you may leave now!”
Jared, armed with a hundred thousand celestial crystals, sauntered off to find Fraser, Theobauld, and Salathiell.
Upon seeing Jared arrive, Fraser quickly asked, “Jared, have the celestial crystals arrived?”
Jared nodded, casually tossing the item pouch to Fraser. “Here’s a hundred thousand celestial crystals. You three figure out how to split them… From now on, stick with me and I’ll ensure you live a life of luxury and comfort…”
Fraser skeptically opened the item pouch, but when he saw that it indeed contained a hundred thousand celestial crystals, he was utterly dumbfounded.
Theobauld and Salathiell looked at the item pouch with gleaming eyes.
They were merely sidekicks to Fraser. They certainly didn’t have the standing to share resources with him.
In a place like Twilight Imperial City, they simply didn’t have the privilege to possess a celestial crystal.
“You… You actually managed to get a hundred thousand celestial crystals?” Fraser exclaimed in astonishment.
“Of course! I’ve always been a man of my word. When I say something, I follow through. It’s just a hundred thousand celestial crystals. There’s no need to be surprised,” Jared said with an air of pretentiousness.
As Fraser observed Jared, even though it appeared he was showing off, there was an undeniable sense of comfort in that moment.
After all, a hundred thousand celestial crystals were right there in front of him. This wasn’t merely boasting; it was genuinely impressive.
“Well then, I won’t hold back on these hundred thousand celestial crystals…”
As Fraser spoke, he swiftly stowed the item pouch away.
“Aren’t you going to split it with them?” Jared asked.
“They don’t need it!” Fraser then turned to Theobauld and Salathiell. “Do you two want it?”
“No!” Even though they both desired it, they dared not go against Fraser.
After all, Fraser was the master, and they were merely servants.
