For some reason, Li Du felt that Bradley was a pain in the neck. Perhaps their magnetic fields did not mesh well. Humans were always like that. Some people felt like old friends the moment they met, while other people just hate each other on the spot. Li Du and Bradley were the latter, especially after Bradley had ordered the helicopter pilots to cause them problems. Bradley certainly didn't feel much better about Li Du, and the two simply had to ”play nice” because of each other's identities.

Bradley saw the big box in Brother Wolf's hands and asked deliberately, ”Hey, what's your bodyguard carrying? It can't be your Harry Winston jewels for the showcase, right?” Everyone knew that the boxes were definitely not the luxury goods for display. After all, they were too expensive and usually delivered by the security guards. Bradley, who was digging a trap for them, was planning to wait for Li Du to deny it, so he could then take the opportunity to satirize Harry Winston's level of security.

”Yes, it's our showcase jewelry,” Li Du said.

The answer exceeded Bradley's expectations. He frowned and said, ”Huh? I've heard that there's a financial problem with the Harry Winston group. Are you all so bankrupt that you don't even have the money to hire a professional security company?”

”What you've heard is wrong. Don't believe what's on the internet. Socrates, the great philosopher, said that people can be stupid when they believe gossip on the internet,” said Li Du.

Cole, Sophie, and Marceau all quietly laughed when they heard his joke.

Li Du continued, ”This box is a bit of a temporary gift from me, which I'll throw out at random for the showcase's guests to enjoy.”

Bradley asked, ”What's in it? Are you sure you can boost everyone's spirits?”

”I'm not sure. I'm not going to tell you exactly what it is, but aren't you good at finding information online? You can try finding this online,” Li Du replied.

Cole laughed and patted him on the back. ”You're funny, man.”

Bradley smiled coldly. ”Haha, really funny. You want to be mysterious? That's great. I'm looking forward to seeing these precious treasures.”

Li Du added, ”Why keep it mysterious? We're all on the same side. If everyone is eager to see what it is, then I'll just show you all.” With a wave of his hand, Brother Wolf opened the box to reveal black opal that was still wrapped in rough stone. The stones were not cut, but they were carved. The raw stone was mostly stripped away, leaving only a small part on it, showing the black opal's primal allure.

Seeing dozens of pieces of jewels in front of her, Marceau marveled, ”God, it's cool. It's amazing.”

Cole smiled broadly as the gems were displayed.

There was a brief look of surprise on Bradley's face at the sight of the black opals, but he quickly regained his composure and said, ”So many black opals? That's amazing. Are you from Lightning Ridge? Has a new opal vein been discovered there?”
