Chapter 43 – Coming to Settle Things

The manager felt as if he was down eight lifetimes of b.l.o.o.d.y luck. Su Lingsheng was the beloved of Lei Min, but something had happened to her in his area. Who knows what Lei Min would do to him later? Closing his doors with a strained face, the manager headed towards the back courtyard with large strides.

Filled with different types of ores, both big and small, the amount in the back courtyard far exceeded those placed in the store by who knows how many times.

”Where was it placed?” The manager swept an eye over a servant as he asked.

Understanding what he meant, the servant pointed at a room.

”Good enough. Once you guys are finished cleaning things up today, head on home earlier. G.o.d knows where that dead girl popped up from, causing such a big problem for me.” Snorting two times, the manger walked towards the room.

Inside that room, two people were busy carving a large raw stone. A dim blue ore sparkled radiantly under the candlelight. The manager's originally gloomy face completely disappeared after seeing that dim blue glow, his mouth raising in a smug smile.

”Boss, the grade of this stone is pretty good. We've only opened a half and still haven't finished opening all of it. Looking at things, there will be more than enough.” The man opening the stone said, turning his head towards the manager.

Satisfied, the manager nodded his head. Looking at that Elusive Dream Ore being opened bit by bit, the smile on his face became even deeper. Sitting on a chair off to the side, he crossed his legs. ”Today's luck was horrendous, but this can still count as a bit of compensation. While that dead girl is unknown and silent, who would have thought that her luck would actually be so good? Two stones both opened at a sky-high price.

”It's still you, boss, who's the smartest, hiding this raw stone away after finding out.” A man to the side fawned.

The manager waved his hand. ”If this stone was to be completely opened at that time, Young Lady Su would have lost the first round. Naturally, I couldn't let that dead girl have her way. A pity that I didn't manage to get that Luminous Moon Ore, otherwise we would've hit the jackpot.”
