âThis sheepskin map looks very ancient!â said Cheryl as she took a close look at the map.
As a result, she realized that she did not know any of the words on it. âItâs weird. What kind of texts are
this? I canât recognize them at all.â
Alex took over the map and looked at it but he could tell the difference. âThis isnât sheepskin. This is
dragon skin.â
âD-dragon?â Cheryl was stunned. In her impression, such creatures like dragons belonged to myths
and legends. Could it be that dragons really exist?
âThe texts on it belong to the ancient texts of the golden era,â Alex continued but soon he shook his
head. âThis map is not complete. This is just a part of it.â
Cheryl asked, âDo you know the ancient texts too? What kind of texts are they? Are they the Olmec
hieroglyphs?â
Alex shook his head.
He learned these texts through the legacy of the Ultimate Book of Medicine too. For example, the texts
formed in the art of Zharvakko were ancient texts and the many runes on the Zharvakko talismans
were in fact of these ancient texts.
This meant that this map was probably passed down from the ancient times.
Unfortunately, he did not recognize the names of the places marked on the map at all.
Then, he put the map and documents into his backpack. Alex looked at Cheryl and said, âItâs almost
done. Letâs go!â
Then, he took a glance at the things put in the chamber. While feeling slightly reluctant, he grabbed a
few pieces of jade that had essence and used the Force to absorb the essence on the spot.
Unexpectedly, the absorption speed was extremely fast this time.
Within a short moment, the essence inside the jades was completely absorbed. After the absorption,
the fine jades turned into grayish white jades, with their values dropping drastically to rock-bottom.
They were no different from stones.
Cheryl was extremely shocked to see such a scene. However, she did not question further for the
reason. Instead, she stood at the side and waited quietly. Until Alex had absorbed all the jades in the
chamber, only then did she ask with a smile, âAre you done yet?â
âItâs done. Letâs go!â
***
At the lobby of the inn, Hubert Gordon and Thea Stone were sitting at the corner on a bamboo couch.
Hubert was worried about Alexâs safety. He wanted to look for him at the Golden Tower again but Tlrea
stopped him in the end.
âLet me tell you, I donât know what kind of dumb luck that guy had. He won the grand prize in stone
gambling and cut out a few pieces of emeralds. Tire raw stones that he bought all contained jades and
the biggest piece was worth more than a billion dollars!â
âWhat? More than a billion dollars?â Hubert was stunned at once.
His family mission was to earn a billion dollars by himself. If he could also earn a billion dollars from
stone gambling, would he not finish his mission in one go?
However, on a second thought, he felt that it was unreliable.
He knew about the stuff of stone gambling. The chance of cutting open the stone into a stone of higher
value was very small. To cut out a one billion dollar jade was even harder than reaching the sky. On the
other hand, his family wanted to test his ability to get things done.
What did stone gambling mean for him even? If he were to earn a billion dollars from stone gambling,
let alone the position as his familyâs next patriarch, he might even get scolded.
At this moment, Thea said, âThat Alex refused to give up those jades in the Golden Tower and
entangled with the people there. The Golden Tower is now in a mess. After the death of Boss Winn, his
subordinates will surely be competing over his position and fighting over his assets. Who would still talk
about the rules? Heâll die without knowing how he dies for stupidly bringing his girlfriend with him in
there!â
However, as soon as her voice fell, a pair of young men and women walked in from outside: they were
Alex and Cheryl.
âAh! Alex, youâre finally back!â Hubert immediately stood up.
Thea was slightly upset when she saw Alex coming back intact. She thought, âHow is this guy fine at
all? You should at least come back with a swollen face so that Iâll feel slightly better!â
Then, she saw a few subordinates of the Golden Tower following behind Alex.
