Chapter 132 The Ruby Fruit and Prehistoric Arm
Rayna explained, "It's practically amber from ancient medicinal herbs encased in resin. It's super rare."
William was intrigued. "Medicinal herbs from ancient times? Can I come with you?"
"That's exactly what I hoped for! Get in the car." She smiled.
With that, she started the car's engine and drove onto the Ivory Dragon Cove Bridge, heading toward the suburbs. A while later, her phone started ringing. William took a peck and saw Aidan's name.
Meanwhile, Rayna merely glanced at it and switched her phone to silent mode.
"Why aren't you answering that?" he asked,
Shaking her head, she answered, "After the graduation dinner, Aidan somehow managed to get my number. He then started confessing his love to me and madly pursued me. This is already the seventh call he has made to my phone today."
He sneered. "A leopard doesn't change its spots.
She tugged her lips into a smile. "You seem to hate him."
He changed the topic. "Let's not talk about him. Where did the fossilized herbs come from?"
"From a group of Elabian traders. Those fossilized herbs are passed down from earlier generations, and there's about a hundred of them," Rayna explained,
"Why are you buying those fossilized herbs? For research?"
She chuckled. "For collection, of course. Those things are more precious than real amber, so I need a few in my nook."
William nodded, wondering if the herbs encased could still be used. The medicinal inheritance he received had recorded many rare and precious herbs that were difficult to find in this era, so he was looking forward to seeing those fossilized herbs.
When the car arrived at a hotel in the suburbs, they saw people waiting at the door. Once the two arrived. at the hotel, they were shown to a living room on the third floor and saw over a hundred opened boxes on the table. Inside those boxes were fossilized herbs of different shapes and sizes.
There were also seven to eight Elabian men inside the living room. One had a big beard as he shook hands with Rayna, smiling. "Miss Talavera, we've finally met."
So, this is also their first meeting
She smiled. "Prince Lennon, welcome. Am I the only one present for this deal?"
The man before them, Lennon, was a prince. He smiled and said, "I made many friends while studying here, and many of them were interested when I said I'd be selling a portion of my fossilized herbs. After looking at the time, he added, "They might be arriving soon."
Meanwhile, William's gaze, had been attracted to the fossilized herbs long ago. Most were not large, and the herbs encased inside could be seen clearly. With his knowledge of herbs, many of the medicinal

also a few herbs that were already extinct!

He picked up a piece of fossilized herb, which was only about the size of a watermelon, and inside it was a stem of a plant with five fruits. They resembled cherry tomatoes, while the leaves were jagged. Feeling his heart racing, he thought, This is a ruby fruit! This plant. It should've gone extinct long ago.
He remained calm and asked, "Prince Lennon, this fruit looks pretty. May I buy some as well?"
Smiling, Lennon offered, "Whoever's here is my guest, so of course, you can. Our fossilized herbs are sold according to their weight, so the one you're holding, my friend, costs four million.
William complained silently, Four million for this? Why don't you rob a bank?
However, he did not speak his thoughts and only glanced at Rayna.
She smiled and negotiated with Lennon, Prince Lennon, four million is not a small amount. Can you give us a discount?"
Lennon rejected. Tm sorry, but this is the lowest I can offer.-I wouldn't have sold these heirlooms if I hadn't needed a sum of money for investments."
After a nod, William agreed. "It's fine. Deal."
Besides the money he used to buy stocks, he still had a hefty amount left, so he could afford to buy it. The worst scenario would be that he needed to spend the 75 million he was planning to give Jonathan as an investment.
William scanned around again and picked an even larger fossilized herb. An arm was encased inside, holding a small silver snake with a tiny herb inside its mouth. The snake was wrapped around, seemingly glaring at the arm's owner.
When Lennon saw William looking at that piece, he smiled and introduced, "This is the largest one among all. That arm belongs to a prehistoric man, so it has a high value."
However, William did not respond because he discovered that the small herb seemed to be a divine herb called a nimbus plant! As for the prehistoric hand, it was wearing a very thin silver glove, and on the pinky of that glove was a ring.
He immediately asked, "Prince Lennon, how much is this?"
Lennon was ecstatic and answered, "This is the largest fossilized herb we have, and the starting price is 22.5 million."
This time, William did not negotiate and nodded. "Sure. I want this one too."
Afterward, he took out his phone and immediately transferred money to Lennon. It was easy to pay someone by phone because one could transfer a large sum of money after opening a bank account. Soon, William received a call from the bank to confirm his transaction. A minute later, Lennon's bank account had an addition
of 26.5 million.
He was elated. "Hey, I still don't know your name. We should exchange contact
numbers."
Nodding, William said, "Prince Lennon, if you're thinking of selling more fossilized herbs, you me." While he spoke, he gave Lennon his name card.

This journey was originally to accompany Rayna in buying fossilized herbs, so when she saw William buy two large ones, she teased him. "Rich people are so generous. You spent 26.5 million just like that."
He rebuked with a smile, "Didn't you say these are worth collecting? I want in too."

Right then, Lennon's entourage led three people into the room. Standing in the middle was a man in his forties Ο with a majestic gait and he entered the room with a grin. "There are so many fossilized herbs. Very good!" Then, he spotted William holding the ruby fruit-encased fossilized herb. His eyes dimmed, asking. "Has someone bought that before me?"

Lennon explained, "Dear friend, I thought we agreed this would be on a first-
come, first-serve basis. This friend of mine has bought two fossilized herbs,"
With a sneer, the middle-aged man glanced sideways at William. "Kid, leave this
fossilized herb, and I'll give you the money."
William asked, "Do we know each other?"
The middle-aged man felt displeased. "Kid, you'd better not bring trouble on
yourself! Don't you know who I am?"
Behind the man was a teenager with a sneer. "We're from Nyadina's Iron Palm
Sect!"
William replied, "Never heard of it."
The middle-aged man smirked wickedly before approaching William and
slamming his palm on William's shoulders. However, William remained still with a hint of mockery in his expression.
"Ahh-"Just as the man's hand touched William, he felt numbness in his arm, and
his whole body trembled like he was electrocuted. Then, he fell to the ground.
William deliberately asked, "Are you alright?"
