Chapter 415Chapter 415
After about thirty minutes of waiting, a truck arrived with several smaller cars in tow.
A middle-aged man came out of the first car. He had a diamond ring on his finger, a gold chain as thick
as a thumb around his neck, and a cigar in his hand.
Dozens of bodyguards then came out of the other cars and made their way toward him. They—- were all
dressed in suits and wore sunglasses, giving them an intimidating appearance.
“You sure are bringing a lot of bodyguards with you just to deliver the goods to me, Mr. Ferguson. Do you
not trust me or do you not trust my family?” Dominic said with a smile as he shook hands with Isaiah.
“I am well aware of the Wagner family’s influence in Summerbank, but this truck contains high quality
Hickoria stones! This stuff costs a bomb, so I can’t afford to have anything go wrong with the delivery!”
Isaiah replied with a hearty laugh, revealing two gold teeth in his mouth.
“Haha! With your net worth, Mr. Ferguson, we could purchase all of Mount Hickoria and still have a lot of
money left!”
Dominic continued to butter him up.
“You give me too much credit, Mr. Wagner!”
Je me

Isaiah was grinning from ear to ear when he said that,Wow… Dominic may not like martial arts, but he sure has a knack for doing business! Jared thought to
himself as he watched from the side.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Isaiah walked up to Benjamin at the chair and said politely, “Hello,
Mr. Patterson! I’m surprised that you came here in person today!”
“These Hickoria stones are worth a lot of money, so Dominic invited me over to assess them,” Benjamin
replied with his eyes still closed.
“We’ve been doing business for so many years now, Mr. Wagner. Do you still not trust me? Why did you
invite Mr. Patterson over?” Isaiah asked in a half-joking manner.
“It never hurts to be more careful, Mr. Ferguson! Besides, these Hickoria stones really do cost a fortune!”
Dominic replied with a faint smile.
“All right, let’s examine the goods first. As you know, I cannot guarantee that you’ll get gemstones out of
these stones. There will be no returns nor refunds once you have assessed them and completed our
deal!” Isaiah reminded him seriously.
Dominic nodded. “I understand, Mr. Ferguson!”
A truck then unloaded the stones at a designated area for inspection. They came in all sorts of
novelbinshapes and sizes. To the untrained eye, they looked no different from regular stones.
“After you, Mr. Patterson…”
Dominic stepped forward to help Benjamin to his feet.
Benjamin nodded as he whipped out a magnifying glass and a small hammer.As it would take forever to examine that many stones, Benjamin could only pick out dozens of them for
inspection.
However, with such a small sample size, there really was no guarantee that the results of the inspection
would apply to the rest of the stones. Just like all other forms of gambling, luck played a huge role in the
world of stone gambling.
Suddenly, Jared frowned when Benjamin began examining the stones. He then walked up to the pile of
stones and bent over to get a closer look.
Thinking that Jared was a subordinate that Dominic had brought along, Isaiah didn’t bother to stop him.
After moving a few of the stones to the side, Jared found a shiny, oval-shaped stone about the size of an
egg.
His eyes lit up with excitement as he slowly picked it up from the ground. The moment Jared’s hand
made contact with the stone, a surge of pure spiritual energy entered his body.
That oval-shaped stone contained more spiritual energy than jade which was over ten times larger in
size.
