Claire Warner had come to trade alone; it was unlikely to be a scam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the transaction, Nina Jacobs had directly pocketed two hundred thousand Crystal Cores, plus 300 Gold Bars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of her nearly 80 storage slots, 7 were now empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her System Experience Points also shot up by 7,000,000.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Congratulations, Host, for successfully collecting 660 pounds of Gold.

Watching Claire Warner leave, Adrian Shaw had just summoned a subordinate to his side, intending to say something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was yanked away by Henry Dixon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t think I don’t know what you’re plotting, you brat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You are not to follow that young lady,\" Henry Dixon said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re pretty sharp, sir.
