Chapter 248: What The Heck Is A Treasure Stone

“John, can you come over?”

“What’s wrong? Did Little John cause trouble?”

“No, I have something to show you.”

A while later, John came over. Risfar took him to his room and played the surveillance video that he’d chosen.

“Risfar, what is this?”

“This is probably the one who cured Coy,” Risfar said. “Look at the timing. The first time you two met, it was here. He came out of the hospital and you almost ran into him...”

John watched the video in silence. No one knew what he was thinking.

“Then here, Dr. Faur called him, seemingly pleading with him. After ending he call, Dr. Faur very clearly relaxed.”

Risfar extracted surveillance footage from various locations and played them for John.

“John, I’d like to know what exchange you did with Dr. Faur to have her beg this Chinese man to help.”

“I didn’t do anything other than promising to keep it a secret,” John said uncomfortably.

He thanked Faur and this Chinese man. On the other hand, he also hoped that his sister could recover.

“Did she take your money?”

“No... Other than the regular hospital fees, I didn’t pay her anything else.”

“Is Dr. Faur close to Coy?”

“Pretty much. When Dr. Faur first came to this hospital as an intern, her first responsibility was to help the main doctor treat Coy. I went to the hospital many times after that and always saw her play with Coy. They have a good relationship. I think that Dr. Faur treats him like her own brother.”

Hearing this, Risfar had to admit that Little John was lucky to meet a savior.

“John, can you help me talk to Dr. Faur? Can she help me with Lora?”

“Risfar, I want Lora to get better too, but the main person is the Chinese man and not Dr. Faur. I suggest you work on him instead.”

“How?”

“Collect information on him first. We don’t know anything about him right now. Just freaking out is useless.”

...

“Ahda, my father wants me to tell you something,” Obitos said, suddenly running over to Chen Zhao.

“What?”

“My father said that he needs large amounts of Treasure Stones.”

“What are Treasure Stones?”

“Pearls.”

“Pearls? Are you sure he said pearls? Does he want to sell them in Hell?”

“Well, that’s what he told me.”

Large amounts of pearl? Where could he find that?

Chen Zhao was caught off guard by Obitos’ message.

“How much does your father want?”

“One thousand kilograms,” Obitos said.

“What does he want it for?”

“I don’t know, but it sounds urgent.”

“How urgent?”

“Really, really urgent.”

“Does he have requirements about the quality?”

“He didn’t say.”

“If he didn’t say, then he probably doesn’t have requirements.”

If that was the case, then he did have enough money. He couldn’t even get Beelzebub Zofee 50 kilograms of high-quality pearls.

He didn’t have much experience with this, so he wasn’t clear about the market price. There was a big difference in price between high and low-quality pearls. Some single pearls could be tens of thousands of dollars apiece. Others were sold according to weight.

Considering this, he called Morgery.

“Morgery.”

“What?”

“Do you know anyone who sells pearls?”

“No.”

“Okay then.”

“Oh, my hair grew out in some places, but other spots are still bald. It’s too ugly. When do you have time to give me another treatment?”

“After a few days. I’m busy now.”

“So I have to suffer with this ugly hairstyle?”

“You can shave it all off.”

“No, I just grew it out. I won’t shave it.”

“I’m hanging up. I’m busy.”

“If it’s really urgent, I can have people ask around.”

“You do that while I ask more people.”

After hanging up, Chen Zhao called Zola. “Zola, how are you?”

“Chen, you’ll never call me if you don’t need help. Did you plan on cutting off all connection after getting a girlfriend?”

“Uh...No way. I’ve just been a bit busy these days.”

“Tell me. What’s up?”

“Do you know any jewelry sellers? I want to buy pearls. A lot of it.”

“What do you want pearls for? Okay, I don’t want to know. I know a seller and I can ask. What quality and quantity?”

“Don’t care about the quality. One thousand kilograms.”

“I thought you were going to use it for medicine. I heard that you Chinese people have that custom, but it seems not to be the case.”

Around ten minutes later, an unfamiliar number called.

“Hello, is it Mr. Chen?”

“Yes. May I ask who you are?”

“I’m a jewelry seller. My name is Spike. I mainly sell pearls. Zola told me to call. Are you thinking of buying pearls?”

“Yes. I want to know the price.”

“Are you looking for artificially bred pearls or all-natural?”

“What are the general price ranges?”

“Artificially bred pearls are around $38 per kilogram. All-natural pearls are $280 per kilogram.”

Natural pearls were seven or eight times more expensive.

Chen Zhao thought for a moment. They all said that artificial and natural pearls had quite a big difference. If he brought artificially bred pearls to Hell, Zoffee might not be able to use it. If he was going to do this, he should just do it all.

“I want natural pearls.”

“How many would you like?”

“One thousand kilograms.”

“That much?” Spike was surprised. After half a beat of silence, he said, “I need two days to prepare the supplies. Is that okay?”

“Obitos, is two days ago?”

“Alright,” Obitos replied. “I’ll tell my dad.”

“Mr. Spike, since I’m buying so much, can you lower the price a bit?”

“What is your ideal price?” Spike asked tentatively.

“Two hundred forty dollars per kilogram.”

“Sure,” Spike agreed immediately.

Chen Zhao regretted it. It seemed that he’d still given too high of a price. However, he didn’t really mind this number.

After coming to an agreement with Spike, Chen Zhao started thinking about why Zoffee wanted all these pearls. It seemed to be called Treasure Stones in Hell too.

This meant that Hell had pearls, or pearls had appeared there before.
