Chapter 932 Treasure-viewing Conference
He had lived for so many years, but it had been a long time since he had seen such an interesting person.
"You're right. The thing that I want you to find for me is indeed really hard to find. Well, why don't you tell me, what do you want?"
Then, Emmeline answered seriously, "I want this disease in me to be completely cured."
Upon hearing that, Coby narrowed his eyes.
"You want me to cure it for you?"
"That's right!"
Coby fell silent for a moment and suddenly, he smiled.
"You are too naive. If there is really a way to cure this disease in this world, do you think that the Marsh Family members will still be troubled by this disease for so many years?"
When these words came out, Emmeline and Jara's faces both changed.
"Do you mean that there is no cure for it?"
"No."
The atmosphere in the room suddenly dropped, and the three of them did not speak again.
Obviously, Coby was not in a hurry, so he just sat there and looked at them quietly. Both sides seemed to have fallen into a huge silent battle.
After a while, Jara asked, "What do you want us to fine for you?"
Hearing that, Coby smiled slightly. "The Jade of Heaven."
......
It was already noon when they came out of the courtyard.
They didn't linger in the Mid-Autumn Festival any longer. After they came out, they immediately left the island by boat.
Quan was there to received them on the shore. As soon as they got off the boat, they flew all the way back to Blink City.
It was three o'clock in the afternoon when they arrived at the castle.
Uncle Poick ordered the kitchen to prepare food. The two of them were worn out from traveling. After eating and resting for a while, they began to discuss what had happened today.
She took out the Jade of Heaven that they had bought from the auction, holding it in her hand, and examined it carefully for a while. Then she said, "Before this, we didn't understand why the Marsh Family would take this thing out for auction. Now we know that they have planned it for a long time."
When Jara hear that, his face darkened slightly.
"They sent this item to us on purpose. Everyone is allowed to attend the auction, but in truth, it was specially prepared for us."
With a nod, Emmeline sighed again.
"Why do you think they're looking for it? Mr. Coby doesn't seem to be the kind of person who'd believe in the rumors of immortality. He looks like he's detached from the mortal world anyway. Why would he be interested in this thing?"
But Jara sneered, disapproving of her words.
"Sometimes the more aloof a person looks, the more greedy he is. I don't think he's a good person."
Hearing that, Emmeline pause for a moment and turned to look at him. "Then why did he send this thing to us? Why did he choose us to find the rest of it for him?"
Then Jara replied, "It's very simple. For some reason, it's not convenient for him to take action. Since we have the connections and influence, plus you have to ask him for help because of your illness, we're the best choice. As for why he sent this thing to us..."
As he was speakin, he took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully.
"Perhaps it's to let us have a good look at it?"
After that, he shook his head again. "I don't know."
Emmeline sighed.
"What should we do now?"
His eyes darkened slightly. After a long while, he finally replied, "Look for it."
"How do we find it? The world is so big, and we don't have any clues. He only gave us four months."
When the two left, Coby gave them four months' worth of medicine and instructed them to find all 12 pieces of the jade within four months.
According to what he had said, there were currently five pieces in his hands. Jara had one here, so it was a total of six pieces. That was to say, there were still six pieces scattered outside.
Because of the rumors previously, many believed that this thing was a divine object that could bring the dead back to life, so everyone was looking for it. However, after looking for so long, only a few could find it.
So it was easier said than done to find six pieces in just four months.
When Emmeline thought of it, she couldn't help but frown.
Turing his head, Jara look at her and smiled faintly.
"Don't worry, things will come through at the end of the day. According to what he said, there will be a huge effect when twelve pieces of the Jade of Heaven are put together. My guess is he is not the only one who knows about it, so why don't we give it a try and see who will come forward to compete for this treasure? I dare to guarantee that some of the people who come will already have one or two of them. Then we will observe carefully and take action."
Upon hearing that, Emmeline pondered and nodded.
"Perhaps this is the best way at the moment."
Sensing her anxiety, Jara pulled her into his arms.
"Don't be afraid. Things will definitely be resolved. You'll be fine. Both of us will be fine."
Leaning in his arms, Emmeline nodded and closed her eyes.
Three days later, Blink City suddenly convened a treasure-viewing conference.
This meeting was not initiated by others, but by Isaac, the son of the richest man in the city.
As Isaac was known for being a famous rich playboy in Blink City, he had done all kinds of absurd things. Therefore, no one felt strange when he launched this treasure-viewing conference.
On the other hand, some people were curious about what kind of rare treasure he had accumulated recently that he was so eager to show off in a hurry.
After all, as everyone knew, although Mr. Mills was a dandy and loved to show off, every time he did showed off, it was always a real treasure, which ordinary rich people would never get a chance to see it.
Therefore, even though people were complaining, they would still to go there anyway.
The treasure-viewing conference was held in the largest hotel under MIlls Group.
On the day itself, there were many guests, and almost all the prominent figures came. The hall was full of people, and it was very lively.
Holding a glass of red wine and leaning on the couch, Isaac smiled as he looked at the lively scene downstairs, then said, "Jara, I have summoned all the influential people in Blink City. What do you want to do? Just tell me!"
No one would have thought that the mastermind behind the treasure-viewing conference hosted by Isaac was actually Jara.
Holding the jade pendant, Jara looked at the people downstairs with his deep eyes.
There was no extra expression on his face, as he looked impassive as usual. Only, there were a hint of dark beams in the depths of his eyes, which revealed that he was absent-minded.
Seeing that, Isaac nudged his elbow against his arm and asked, "Hey, you asked me to host such a banquet. What kind of treasure is it that you wanted to present? At a time like this, you should be able to say it, right?"
Then, Jara glanced at him.
Slightly opening his thin lips, he replied, "Jade of Heaven."
"What's that?"
When Isaac found out about it, he was very surprised. "Didn't you just got it when we went to the auction?"
Jara nodded his head.
"Wasn't there a lot of people who were very interested in it before? I'm showing it so everyone can have a chance to appreciate it."
