Spoiled by the President

He had lived for many years, and he had not met someone so interesting in a long time.

“You’re right, the thing I asked you to search for is challenging to find. Let’s talk about it. What do you want?”

Vickie Thomas spoke seriously, “I want the disease in my body to be completely cured.”

Jeff Flinders squinted his eyes.

“You want me to cure the disease?”

“Yes!”

Jeff was silenced for a moment, and then he suddenly burst into laughter.

“You’re too naive, suppose there’s really a way to cure this disease in this world. Do you think that the people of Flinders family would be troubled by this disease for decades?”

As soon as those words came out, Vickie and Gregory both changed their faces.

“You’re saying that there’s no way to cure it?”

“No.”

The atmosphere in the room immediately went down. The three of them did not say a thing.

Jeff Flinders was not in a rush, he sat there and watched them quietly. The two parties were caught in a huge seesaw battle.

After some time, Gregory Graham uttered, “What do you want us to find for you?”

Jeff Flinders smiled. “The Arcane Jade.”

...

It was already afternoon when they came out of the manor.

The two of them did not stay any longer at the Flinders family’s Mid-Autumn Festival Gala. They left the island by boat once they came out.

Harold was waiting for them by the shore. Once they got off from the boat, they immediately boarded a plane and flew all the way back to Lin City.

It was 3:00 pm when they reached the castle.

Mr. Osborne ordered the cooks to prepare food. They were worn out and needed some rest after the meal. While they rested, Vickie and Gregory went through the incidents that happened today.

She took out the Arcane Jade she bought from the auction, rested it on her palm and scrutinized it for a moment, then said. “Earlier, we couldn’t understand why the Flinders would auction this thing. Now we know, they’re actually up to something.”

Gregory Graham’s face fell a little.

“They gave the jade to us on purpose. The auction was for everybody to participate, but in fact, it was ready just for us.”

Vickie nodded with a sigh.

“What do you think they want this for? I don’t think that Mr. Jeff is someone who believes in the myth of immortality, he looks like he has transcended worldly affairs. Why would he be interested in such a toy?”

Gregory sneered as he disapproved of what she said.

“Sometimes, people who look like they’ve gone beyond the world are more likely to be greedier. I don’t think he’s a good person.”

Vickie was stunned, she turned and looked at him. “Then why would he give this thing to us? Why would he choose us to help him search for the few other missing pieces?”

Gregory Graham uttered softly, “Simple. It’s inconvenient for him to for some reason, but for us, we have connections and power, and because of the disease in your body, you need help from him. Therefore, we are the best choice. As for why would he give this thing to us...”

He took the jade and had a closer look.

“Maybe it’s for us to study.”

He finished and shook his head. “I’m not sure.”

Vickie sighed.

“Then what should we do now?”

Gregory Graham’ eyes were still. After a while, he said, “Search.”

“How? It’s a big world, and we have no clues. He only gave us four months.”

When the two of them were leaving, Jeff Flinders only gave them enough medicine to last for four months. He ordered them to collect all twelve pieces of jade in four months.

According to what Jeff said, he had five pieces, while Gregory had one, six in total. In other words, there were six more pieces scattered out there.

Because of the rumours, a lot of people believed that this thing was a holy item that could bring someone back from the dead. Thus, everyone was looking for it, but only a few of them could find it after searching for a long time.

To gather all six pieces of jade in four months, would it be easier said than done?

Thinking of that, Vickie frowned.

Gregory Graham turned and looked at her with a smile.

“There’s no rush. We’ll eventually cross that bridge when we come to it. According to Jeff, it will be very useful when all twelve pieces of jade are gathered together. I guess he’s not the only one who knows about this information. We might as well try and see who will come for this treasure, I bet the ones who’re coming must have one or two pieces of jade on them. At that time, we shall observe and act cautiously.”

Vickie sighed and nodded at the same time.

“Perhaps this is the best idea, period.”

Feeling that she was worried, Gregory Graham comforted her by hugging her in his arms.

“Don’t be afraid. It will be solved. You’ll be alright, and we’ll be alright.”

Vickie Thomas leaned on him, nodded and closed her eyes.

Three days later, there was suddenly a treasure appraisal conference organized at Lin City.

This conference was not initiated by just anyone. Massimo Nolan, the son of the wealthiest man in Lin City, was the one who organized it.

Massimo Nolan was a famous rich kid in Lin City. He had done all kinds of ridiculous things. Therefore, when he started the appraisal event, no one was surprised.

On the contrary, some merchants from the business field were curious about what rare treasure he had found recently, and could not wait to show off to everyone.

Spoiled by the President Everybody knew that, despite Massimo being rich and liking to show off, every single treasure he flaunted was genuine. They were things that an average wealthy person had never seen before.

Hence, although they mocked him, they would still attend the conference.

The treasure appraisal conference was held at the largest hotel owned by the Nolan family.

On the day of the conference, it was crowded with guests, well-known individuals from nearby had come. There was a feast in the lounge where people were hustling and bustling, toasting each other.

Massimo Nolan held a glass of red wine and sat on the crouch. He laughed as he looked at the boisterous scene downstairs and said, “Gregory, I’ve asked all the famous people from Lin City to come here, what do you want to do, just be straightforward!”

Who would have thought that the treasure appraisal conference held by Massimo Nolan was directed by Gregory Graham from behind.

Gregory Graham held a goblet and looked thoroughly at the people downstairs.

There was no emotion on his face, it was still a cold-looking face. Only the glimpses of darkness deep in his eyes showed that he was not bothered at all.

Massimo Nolan hit Gregory’s arm with his elbow and asked, “Hey, you asked me to organize a conference, what treasure are you going to display?

It’s about time, shouldn’t you be telling me?”

Gregory glanced at him.

His lips lifted. “The Arcane Jade.”

“What?”

Massimo was very surprised. “Isn’t it the thing that you bought from the auction that day?”

Gregory nodded.

“Aren’t there a lot of people interested in it? I’ll take it out and let them have a look. ”
