Chapter 2893
The First Heir
Lord Ludo walked to the door, and a manager greeted him with a fawning smile, âOh, Lord Ludo, how
nice to see you today. Please come in. Weâve reserved a good private room for youâ¦â
Lord Ludo hummed and told his subordinates to take out a wad of money to toss it to the manager.
Philip and the others followed silently, but the manager immediately changed his attitude. He stopped
them and shouted coldly, âWhat are you doing? Who told you to break in? Canât you see that this is the
VIP passage? The entrance for ordinary guests is over there!â
Philip was startled and looked at the manager with a goatee in front of him.
âTheyâre with me,â In front, Lord Ludo turned his head and said coldly at this moment.
Instantly, the chills on the managerâs face turned into a complimenting smile. He bowed and said, âOh,
so youâre a friend of Lord Ludoâs. Iâm sorry for not recognizing you. Please come this wayâ¦â
What a pretentious guy with his nose in the air!
Philip could not be bothered about this person and followed Lord Ludo through the front hall up to the
second floor.
Once they entered, they could hear the noisy clamor inside.
The first floor was a circular corridor divided into eight sections. The place was full of people, and
business was booming. There were fewer people on the second floor, and they seemed to have
unusual identities. All of them were dressed up, and the atmosphere was a lot quieter here.
The second floor was divided into four areas and more than a dozen private rooms. There were many
dignitaries in each area. They each stroked their chins and looked at the stones in their hands while
thinking hard. Many businessmen sat in the private rooms, talking business or cursing and laughing
aloud.
âEveryone, please come insideâ¦â The manager led Philip, Lord Ludo, and the rest into a private room.
The décor in the private room was simple yet classy with display cases filled with jade. At first glance,
the ore in here was of much better quality than that outside.
âLord Ludo, this batch of goods just arrived. Please take a lookâ¦â The manager said flatteringly.
Lord Ludo hummed and signaled the manager to leave. Philip and the others sat in the room, looking at
each other without a clue.
Lord Ludo looked at the ore for a while before he said to Philip and the others, âYou can go out and
have a look around if youâre interested. As long as you can pick out jade worth ten million or more, you
can get the recognition and token of Glenrock Den.â
Philip frowned and said, âThat simple?â
Lord Ludo did not respond.
In that case, Philip got up and walked out of the private room with Fennel and the others. He strolled
around the second floor. Many people saw them but paid no attention. The people here had special
identities, so no one would deliberately inquire about other peopleâs identities and status.
After walking around for a while, Philip looked at a few pieces but made no selection. Then, he came to
the first floor. It was better to find out some news in a crowded place. The atmosphere on the first floor
was very different from the second floor. It was noisy and boisterous.
Philip randomly walked to a booth where the owner was enthusiastically introducing his stones to the
others.
âSir, the stones I have here came from the innermost area of Mystic Mine Three. Theyâre definitely of
the highest quality!â
âLook at this piece with a green hue. Youâll definitely find emerald inside!â
âAnd this one with a purple hue. Itâll surely produce purple jadeite!â
Philip listened to the ownerâs explanation while he looked around before his eyes landed on a black
stone in the corner.
âThis stone?â
Philip felt that this stone looked familiar. Moreover, at that moment, the starstone in his pocket suddenly
reacted!
