Chapter 2518


    Marvin shook his head and said, “Mr. rke, Maxis my big boss. Even I don’t have the right to see him,


    so how could you? Besides, in Kestor Manor, you can just ask me if you need to know anything. Come,


    let’s sit and talk.”


    Marvin said and invited Philip to take a seat.


    Philip was unmoved and did not sit down. He just said lightly, “There’s no need for me to sit. I only have


    three questions. I hope you can answer me truthfully.”


    Marvin smiled, and his greasy face glowed with an eerie light. He turned around, walked to the


    expensive sofa, and sat down. The two women also sat beside him and massaged his shoulders.


    Marvinughed and gestured with his hand. “Mr. rke, I’m afraid it’s not within the order of things to


    ask me three questions upfront. Aren’t you Easterners most particr about these so-called rules?”


    Philip’s eyes were cold and stern as he nced at the smiling Marvin while observing theyout of the


    suite. Then, he asked, “What conditions do you have, then, Mr. Marvin?”

    Marvinughed and took a puff of his cigar before saying, “You’re a smart man, Mr. rke. I’m all about


    fair trade. Since you want something from me, you have to pay the price, of course.”


    After saying that, Marvin gestured to a woman beside him, who brought a small box from the desk.


    Then, Marvin opened the small box in front of Philip. There was a stone that looked like a gem inside. It


    was ck in color and glowed with a strange luster under the light.


    At first nce, Philip could tell that this stone was extraordinary because the stone could absorb the


    power of rules in his body. Fortunately, Philip was able to break off the suction immediately.


    Marvin smiled, gestured at the ck stone, and said to Philip, “Do you know this thing, Mr. rke?”


    Philip shook his head and said, “I don’t.”


    Marvin did not beat about the bush and said, “This is the raw material for making the essence of life,


    ebony stone. Do you know where ites from?”


    Philip did not know this either, but he could vaguely guess the ce. Hence, he tentatively asked,


    “Behind the door?”


    Marvin’s eyes shed with a look of approval, and he gave a thumbs up. “Bingo. Yes, ebony stones are


    indeed from behind the door. However, more importantly, it’s only found in one ce, which is Cochly


    Mountain in your country.”


    ‘Cochly Mountain?’


    It was only found in Cochly Mountain?


    Philip was shocked!


    In other words, most of the essence of life was produced in Orienta.


    “How did you get the research done on the essence of life, then?” Philip asked.


    However, as soon as he asked this question, he regretted it.


    “Cooper Berry?”


    Marvinughed and said, “You’re on a roll. That’s right, Deputy Consul Cooper Berry is the one who


    provides it to our institution monthly. As for the essence of life produced by the 12 Sacred Halls, I’m


    afraid their source of ebony stones is also through an arrangement with someone from your country.”


    After saying that, Marvin looked at the ebony stone in his hand with a business smile and said, “This


    thing is very valuable, dozens of times more expensive than gold. Just a small piece in my hand like


    this is worth five million! And after it’s made into the essence of life, the profit margin will increase


    dozens of times more.”


    After saying that, Marvin looked at Philip, and his meaning could not be more obvious.


    “You want me to get ebony stones for you?” Philip asked.


    Marvinughed and said, “It’s a pleasure to talk to smart people, Mr. rke. You’re right. I want to work


    with you. As long as you provide me with such a small piece every month, we can be close friends.


    Also, I’ll give you 30% of the profit What do you think?”


    Philip frowned, thought about it, and said, “There’s no way I can get ebony stones for you. Cochly


    Mountain is a sacred ce in our country. Besides, I can’t enter Cochly Mountain for the time being, so


    I can’t get them for you.”


    Marvin was in no hurry. He put away the stone and said with a smile, “You’ve misunderstood, Mr.


    rke. I’m not asking you to agree now. When you have a chance to enter Cochly Mountain, just get a


    few small pieces for me. How about that?”
