Chapter 5298
“That said, a woman in traditional clothing showed up at the site on an afternoon.
“She easily found twelve tempest-type gems, then announced that nothing was left to find in the first batch.
“Nobody believed her at first, but the next dozens of customers couldn’t even find a gem the size of their pinky!
“Then, the customers stopped after that.
“The next day-yesterday, the woman came again when the second batch of stones showed up.
“She easily found another twelve gems before announcing the same thing.
“Nobody dared to challenge her anymore.
“Seventy percent of the stones that could be turned into piles of gold were instantly recognized as garbage that nobody would bother to examine.
“Today’s the third day.
“According to the plan, we’ll be releasing our final batch.
“If that woman comes again, I’m afraid…”
Arlet Pagan was helpless.
It would be nothing if the woman only found a few gems; not only would it hype the atmosphere, but the customers would also be in a craze after seeing the sight. Since the Pagan family wanted instant results, this would be their best-case scenario.
But after pulling out quite a number of gems, the woman decided to say all those things to crush everyone’s spirits.
She even did it for two different days as well.
If she did it again on the third day, not only would the Archa Corporation suffer huge losses, but the long-operating stone gambling site would also have to be shut down.
After all, without wealthy people with millions of dollars to spare coming, there was simply no point to the gamblers.
Harvey frowned before thinking about the situation.
“Did you find out who the woman was?”
Arlet hesitated momentarily.
“I did try. I also got the six Hermit Families to help…
“But we couldn’t figure out who she was.
“That said, she wore traditional clothing. The people around her were the same, with swords hanging on their waists. They looked completely out of place compared to everyone else.
“Many people do cosplay nowadays, but I don’t think that’s the case here.
“The woman’s name was Kora, I think.”
Then, Arlet showed a picture on her phone.
“Traditional clothing? She wasn’t cosplaying?”
Harvey squinted at the picture before looking curious.
“She belongs to a sacred martial arts training ground?”
Typically speaking, other than having specific hobbies, ordinary people would not be wearing traditional clothing.
Even so, they would wear modern sneakers for the sake of convenience.
Then again, it was obvious that those people were wearing vintage-looking shoes.
There would not be another place other than sacred martial arts training grounds that would do such a thing.
That said, people of the sacred martial arts training grounds had rules.
They would not usually parade in public like this.
No matter who was backing the woman, Harvey could tell that the Pagan family was not the target.
It was him.
Arlet and Kade Bolton froze at the same time.
“The sacred martial arts training grounds…”
“Highly likely.
Harvey gave a nod.
“Come. Let’s have a chat with her.”
