Chapter 2893
Lord Ludo walked to the door, and a manager greeted him with a fawning smile, "Oh, Lord Ludo, how nice to see you today. Please come in. We've reserved a good private room for you...” Lord Ludo hummed and told his subordinates to take out a wad of money to toss it to the manager.
Philip and the others followed silently, but the manager immediately changed his attitude. He stopped them and shouted coldly, "What are you doing? Who told you to break in? Can't you see that this is the VIP passage? The entrance for ordinary guests is over there!"
Philip was startled and looked at the manager with a goatee in front of him.
"They're with me," In front, Lord Ludo turned his head and said coldly at this moment.
Instantly, the chills on the manager's face turned into a complimenting smile. He bowed and said, "Oh, so you're a friend of Lord Ludo's. I'm sorry for not recognizing you. Please come this way..." What a pretentious guy with his nose in the air!
Philip could not be bothered about this person and followed Lord Ludo through the front hall up to the second floor.
Once they entered, they could hear the noisy clamor inside.
The first floor was a circular corridor divided into eight sections. The place was full of people, and business was booming. There were fewer people on the second floor, and they seemed to have unusual identities. All of them were dressed up, and the atmosphere was a lot quieter here.
The second floor was divided into four areas and more than a dozen private rooms. There were many dignitaries in each area. They each stroked their chins and looked at the stones in their hands while thinking hard. Many businessmen sat in the private rooms, talking business or cursing and laughing aloud.
"Everyone, please come inside..." The manager led Philip, Lord Ludo, and the rest into a private room.
The décor in the private room was simple yet classy with display cases filled with jade. At first glance, the ore in here was of much better quality than that outside.
"Lord Ludo, this batch of goods just arrived. Please take a look..." The manager said flatteringly.
Lord Ludo hummed and signaled the manager to leave. Philip and the others sat in the room, looking at each other without a clue.
Lord Ludo looked at the ore for a while before he said to Philip and the others, "You can go out and have a look around if you're interested. As long as you can pick out jade worth ten million or more, you can get the recognition and token of Glenrock Den."
Philip frowned and said, "That simple?"
Lord Ludo did not respond.
In that case, Philip got up and walked out of the private room with Fennel and the others. He strolled around the second floor. Many people saw them but paid no attention. The people here had special identities, so no one would deliberately inquire about other people's identities and status.
After walking around for a while, Philip looked at a few pieces but made no selection. Then, he came to the first floor. It was better to find out some news in a crowded place. The atmosphere on the first floor was very different from the second floor. It was noisy and boisterous.
Philip randomly walked to a booth where the owner was enthusiastically introducing his stones to the others.
"Sir, the stones I have here came from the innermost area of Mystic Mine Three. They're definitely of the highest quality!"
"Look at this piece with a green hue. You'll definitely find emerald inside!"
"And this one with a purple hue. It'll surely produce purple jadeite!"
Philip listened to the owner's explanation while he looked around before his eyes landed on a black stone in the corner. 'This stone?'
Philip felt that this stone looked familiar. Moreover, at that moment, the starstone in his pocket suddenly reacted!
