Chapter 1796


    X Quest refused to engage the two men in a discussion about the quality of her jade mines.


    The man with the baritone voice noticed her smile as his gaze fixed on her face.


    "Why do you look so familiar?” he asked with a smile.


    X chuckled. "And you are?"


    "Let me introduce myself. My name is Cain Honder, Mr. Shaw''s protege," Cain said.


    X nodded before extending a hand to him politely. "Nice to meet you. I''m X Quest."


    Cain instantly realized who she was. "No wonder you looked so familiar. You''re that X who regrly appears on the list of hot topics, aren''t you?" X nodded.


    "It is my pleasure to meet you. Does this jade mine belong to you?" Cain asked.


    "Yes, it belongs to me."


    "Take my advice; don''t keep digging. You''ll only lose money if you don''t stop," Cain said.


    X chuckled again. "I intend to keep digging," she replied with a calm expression.


    Cain couldn''t resistughing when he heard this. "Believe me, even if you keep going, nothing wille of it. The quality of jade you find now determines what lies beneath it."


    "If I''m not mistaken, you''ll probably only unearth things like granite," he added.


    X was impressed with his professional judgment.


    "But I want to keep digging," X insisted.


    A condescending expression also appeared on his face. "Are you all right? As rich as you are, this is not how you should spend your money."


    "Darren, bring some men and continue digging down there," X instructed, turning to address Darren Green.


    He nodded respectfully before leading some people down into the mine.


    After they had left, a familiar figure appeared before X.


    X observed Mary Sullivan

    She was

    She had dyed her hair in bright pink, with a red beret that tilted to one side on top.


    The way she dressed was very fashionable and eye-catching.


    A slight look of surprise appeared in X''s eyes the moment she saw her.


    Why would Mary appear here?


    "Cain, you jerk! How could youe up here on your own and leave me down there? I can''t walk anymore. Come here and pick me up at once!" Mary shouted miserably white facing the peak.


    Her tone was dripping with a sense of superiority.


    When Mary looked up, she noticed X standing on the peak, promptly stopping her in her tracks.


    She frowned deeply and started mumbling to herself. "Such a terrible coincidence. D*mn."Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    After hearing Mary''s outburst, Cain quickly ran over to her.


    X instantly understood what was going on when she saw this.


    Mary must have arrived with Cain.


    The two of them seemed to be a couple now.


    Meanwhile, Cain was clearly the inferior one in this rtionship.


    He was the kind of man who would be trampled all over by Mary.
