Chapter 534 Drying Mustard Greens on a Rock


    After the Crawford family departed, the wind blew away the cloth that covered the stone, revealing a


    brilliant purple hue.


    While on patrol, Dexter stumbled upon the exposed jadeite.


    "Don''t expose your wealth..." he murmured. Spotting Margaret with sauerkraut, he took the white


    stic film she intended to use as a cover and wrapped it around the boulder.


    Margaret protested, "Hey... what are you doing? I need that for pickling the sauerkraut!"


    Looking at the stone once again, Dexter said that the shape of the stone resembled a horned creature,


    making it rather unsightly.


    "Don''t you still have two jars? You can dry the mustard greens on the ster. It''ll be clean and


    convenient," Dexter suggested.


    Margaret remained silent.


    This was no ordinary stone and yet, he was telling her to dry the mustard greens on them?


    Jack had explicitly mentioned that the stone was worth hundreds of millions and that they were


    searching for a skilled artist to carve it, so they had to be careful around it.


    "For such a valuable item, it will attract thieves. Using it to dry mustard greens is the right thing to do so


    that it won''t attract thieves." Dexter exined.


    Margaret sighed, she was speechless.


    Under Dexter''s guidance, Margaret eventually ced arge bucket of mustard greens out in the sun.


    "Well, forget about it. dried mustard greens are delicious!" Margaret remarked, gazing at them with


    satisfaction.


    Edward kept the broken fragment in his room and not only covered the missing corner with white


    stic film but also ced two mustard greens on top.


    "That''s great!" Margaret said, wiping her hands on her apron before resuming her work.


    Outside the Crawford Mansion, a ck car drove past slowly.


    Meanwhile, a drone flew above Crawford Mansion.


    Inside the ck car, one person voiced their concern, "We can''t see if you''re flying the drone too high!


    Can''t you lower the drone a bit?"


    Another person replied, "We''ll be spotted if we fly too low. Just hurry up and fly over there and get out


    of here."


    This area has strict surveince, and drones could not fly around casually, even if they flew at lower


    altitudes. The thieves had to approach discreetly, and since they had been there for a while, they found


    an opportunity to carry out their ns.


    Unbeknownst to others, this was a gang of thieves from Southbank.


    The thieves heard about the news that the Crawford family owned a priceless jade and they were


    finding suitable aplices to rob them.


    This group of people had been staking out the location for several days, patiently waiting for the


    Crawford family to leave.


    After the ck car passed by, the footage captured by the drone was uploaded to aputer.


    The thieves examined the video and photos with anticipation. One of themmented, "It''s said to be


    arge stone... I believe it must be hidden in the main building."


    He pointed towards the main building of the Crawford residence.


    "Our problem right now is that we don''t know what the stone looks like. We''ve checked all the


    surveince cameras, but there''s no evidence of the stone being transported back here..."


    "During this period, no cars other than the Crawford family''s private vehicles have entered the Crawford


    Mansion, so the stone must have been brought in using their own car."


    "Since it was transported using their own car, the stone couldn''t have beenrger than the trunk."


    In the image, a massive boulder was visible in front of the main building, covered with sun-drying


    mustard greens.


    However, the thieves ignored it.


    After all, such an enormous boulder would not fit in the trunk of a car.


    Plus, it was covered with mustard greens. Who in their right mind would use a billion-dor rough stone


    to dry mustard greens?


    "Damn, it... If only Frank hadn''t been caught. He was our guide, and I don''t know why he was so


    unlucky. He ran into four policemen when he opened the door," one of the thievesmented.


    "I told him not to be tempted by small gains. He has no boundaries when ites to stealing," one of


    the thieves remarked, frustrated with Frank''s behavior.


    Although Frank might not excel in other skills, his investigating skills were incredible.


    He managed to infiltrate the police headquarters.


    Every time the gang of thieves thought about this unbelievable feat, they could not help but feel absurd.


    "Take another look, we need to gather information about the Crawford Mansion''syout..."


    This group of thieves had stolen from banks, the richest person in the world, and even cultural relics


    from the Sunset Museum.


    So, as usual, they were confident about this heist and were unaware of what was going to happen to


    them...


    …


    The Crawford family arrived at Saffron Ind in high spirits, oblivious to the fact that they were being


    watched.


    They understood the importance of keeping their wealth discreet. They were simply searching for a


    partner to cooperate with, and news about the original stone would be leaked to some extent.


    But that was not their concern at the moment.


    An airport could not be built because of Saffron Ind''s terrain. Once the Crawford family''s private


    nended in the city near the ind, they had to take a boat to reach their destination.


    ke was speaking quietly to Lilly, saying, "We also have to undergo weightlessness training.


    However, the training isn''t suitable for someone as young as you."


    "So when we arrive at Saffron Ind, we''ll use the jumping machine and roller coaster built by Uncle


    Anthony for the training."


    Anthony, who was walking ahead, looked puzzled, while Bettany and Lisa, who had been following


    them quietly, eximed, "Fork out!"


    ke touched his nose sheepishly.


    It was a shame he had not found a ce teeming with ghosts. Otherwise, they could practice on


    Numerous tourists were traveling to Saffron Ind by boat. The ind had constructed a magnificent


    amusement park, featuring crystal-clear water, soft sandy beaches, and luxurious hotels with luxurious


    amenities. On weekends, the ind attracted a multitude of wealthy people who brought their children


    and enjoy the facilities.


    Although weekends were typically bustling, it seemed to have fewer visitors this week.


    Edward yfully snatched Lilly from ke''s arms and carried her on his shoulders. He exined, "I


    limited the ticket sales this week, so it won''t be too crowded! You''ll have a st over the next two


    days!"


    Children need a lively environment to enjoy themselves.


    There was once a wealthy woman who built an amusement park for her grandson, but the child did not


    find it as enjoyable as expected and eventually stopped ying there. Theck of liveliness was the


    main reason.


    An amusement park must not only be vibrant but also profitable!


    The Crawford family always had always been down-to-earth when it came to making money...


    Lilly, perched on Edward''s shoulders, enthusiastically eximed, "Let''s go! Let''s sit in the boat!"


    The group boarded a luxurious cruise ship, which swiftly departed from the shore.


    Yena stood in the crowd, gazing at the luxury cruise ship with envy.


    She saw her younger cousining back. Her ghost mother did not lie to her!


    Lilly''s uncles were tall and handsome, showering her with affection, and attracting envious nces


    from onlookers wherever they went.


    As Yena recalled everything she had seen in the mirror, she felt as though her own belongings had


    been stolen, and a twinge of bitterness rose in her nose.


    Mabel approached with the tickets and boat passes, a hint of annoyance on her face. "Can you believe


    it? We still had to wait in line! What a waste! The 8,888-dor ticket doesn''t even include the cruise


    ship!"


    "I booked a hotel for two days at 10,000 dors per day that doesn''t include meals, drinks, or


    entertainment."


    As Yena observed the Crawford family and contrasted it with her own mother... Her heart grew even


    more uneasy.


    Her father was incredibly stingy. Despite having ample wealth, he refused to spend it on her and her


    mother.


    Fortunately, she had met her ghost mother, who anticipated a potential crisis when her father was


    about to sign a contract and intervened just in time.


    Her father was thrilled and agreed to her request to visit Saffron Ind to have some fun!


    With her ghost mother''s assistance, she would be able to get rid of Lilly, and her life with her mother


    would gradually improve.

    "Let''s go, Mom!" Yena took Mabel''s hand and eagerly set off toward the ind.


    Her ghost mother did not apany them this time, but she had been given a very important task...


    Yena tightly clutched a ck ss ball in her hand.


    Her ghost mother told her that there were countless evil spirits trapped inside it!


    She nned to release these evil spirits in the amusement park...


    …


    Saffron Ind was located slightly south and it had considerably warmer weather than Alfornada. The


    cruise ship docked at the ind''s northern port, basking in the radiant sunshine.


    Polly timidly poked its head out, its feathers tousled by the sea breeze.


    Excitedly, it quacked, "Oh, the sea... my dear mother!"


    Just then, a massive wave crashed against the reef, sshing water onto Polly''s face.


    Shivering from the impact, Polly eximed, "Damn you!"


    Everyone was speechless.
