Chapter 268: The Wish Stone of the God of Lies! (Third update, please subscribe!)

It must be said that Maxwell Lorenzano's flashy operation of wishing to the Wish Stone to become the Wish Stone itself and then accepting wishes from others is very spiritual.

The most important thing is that after he becomes the Wish Stone itself, he can freely intercept the belongings of the wisher!

What does this mean?

It means he can take away anything from the wisher, whether it is good or bad!

Even if what is taken away is cancer cells from the wisher, as long as the requirement of 'gain and loss' is met, the wish-granting mechanism of the Wish Stone can be achieved!

Of course, in this way, the cancer cells will appear on him, and he will definitely not do things that sacrifice himself for others.

And when he wished to become the Wish Stone itself, what he lost was 'health'. Judging from the results shown in the movie, the lost 'health' cannot be intercepted back from others.

So Maxwell Lorenzano's result was almost destined.

After all, this Wish Stone comes from the God of Lies. Just listening to the name, one knows that it is definitely not any righteous and kind divine artifact.

However, it is also somewhat inappropriate to say it is evil, because another mechanism of the Wish Stone is even simpler and cruder: as long as you cancel the wish, everything will be restored, and you don't have to pay any price!

With such loose conditions, it is really not afraid of being broken by people!

In short.

Su Quan doesn't need to wish to the Wish Stone to become the Wish Stone itself or possess the ability of the Wish Stone, nor will he lose anything.

He only needs to give Maxwell Lorenzano a few punches after he becomes the Wish Stone itself, brush out the ability, and he can become the 'God of Wishes' without any effort and without paying any price!

It is precisely because of this that Su Quan has never gone to find this yellow crystal Wish Stone.

"Do you believe it?"

Barbara Minerva's voice suddenly rang in his ear.

Su Quan was stunned and said with a smile: "Sorry, I was thinking about things just now. What did you ask me?"

Barbara Minerva shook her head and pointed to the advertisement on TV: "Do you believe that this Black Gold Cooperative can really let ordinary people invest and make money?"

Su Quan shrugged: "I don't know if ordinary people can make money, I only know that he definitely has no money."

"Why?"

"Everyone knows how profitable the oil business is. If you have money and projects, would you give the opportunity to make money to ordinary people you don't know at all?"

"No."

"Neither would I."

Su Quan smiled noncommittally and shifted the topic back to the jewelry: "How is it? How much is this jewelry worth?"

Barbara Minerva glanced around, lowered her voice, and said in a low voice: "You are too bold to just take it out like this. What if it gets robbed?"

"I calculated it. The total value of this jewelry is at least over five million. If you sell it slowly, the price should be even higher."

Five million, a little less than he thought. However, it is 1984 now, and the average annual household income in the United States is only nine thousand dollars. Five million can already be counted as a huge sum of money.

Su Quan smiled calmly at Barbara Minerva and asked: "Can you help me sell it?"

"Me? You, you intend to hand it to me?"

Barbara Minerva was very surprised. They had only known each other for half a day, and he actually dared to hand such valuable jewelry to her to handle?

Su Quan said affirmatively: "I don't know how much you should take according to the rules of the industry, but here with me, you can take one-tenth."

One-tenth?

That is five hundred thousand?

Barbara Minerva was excited and just wanted to say that this was too much, but Su Quan continued.

"There are additional conditions."

Barbara Minerva took a deep breath: "What conditions?"

"One, you need to exchange half of this money for gold; two, I want you!"

After hearing this, Barbara Minerva was stunned. She could understand exchanging half the money for gold; after all, gold is the most valuable. But "I want you"—what does that mean?

He, he has taken a fancy to me? Impossible. He is so rich and handsome, what kind of beauty can't he find? How could he take a fancy to a country bumpkin like me?

He must mean he wants me to work for him, right? It must be like that!

Barbara Minerva brushed her hair back in a somewhat flustered manner and said in a low voice, "Mr. Su Quan, although you are very handsome and very generous, and I would very much like to work for you, I do not want to give up this job at the museum."

"If, if you just hope that I can help you identify jewelry and sell jewelry, you don't have to put forward such conditions at all."

Su Quan looked at her with a smile that was not a smile and shook his head gently: "Then—okay, as you wish."

Barbara Minerva opened her mouth, wanting to say something but stopping. She felt that Su Quan's reaction seemed to be saying that she had thought wrong. She wanted to ask, but she was afraid that she was being sentimental, and asking would only increase the embarrassment.

After hesitating for a long time, she finally chose to give up.

Coming out of the restaurant, Barbara Minerva returned to her office in a daze, carrying the leather case.

As a country bumpkin who was ignored and disliked, Su Quan's "I want you" made her heart ripple, and she couldn't concentrate on work at all.

For a while, she felt that she should summon the courage to ask clearly; for a while, she felt that she was being sentimental, and asking would only make her lose face.

Confused until it was time to get off work, Barbara Minerva forced herself not to think about these things anymore, carefully took the leather case containing the jewelry, and prepared to leave the museum to find her friend Veronica.

Veronica Cale, a top scientist and businesswoman she envied very much.

She had mentioned to her some time ago that she wanted to buy some jewelry, and this time she could just let her take a look.

Just after walking out of the museum, Barbara Minerva was somewhat surprised to see Su Quan, who was preparing to leave not far away, and a tall, beautiful woman who was linking arms with Su Quan.

"Did you see it? That's Diana's boyfriend. I heard that her boyfriend donated a large sum of money to our museum just so she could come to work at the museum."

"Really? That's too enviable."

"What's there to envy? If I were Diana, I wouldn't work if I had such a rich boyfriend. Working early and late every day, tired to death, not knowing how to enjoy at all."

"If you want to find a rich person to enjoy life, you have to be as beautiful as Diana!"

"Well said."

Several colleagues seemed not to know or see Barbara Minerva, discussing enviously, and walked straight past her.

"Diana—hehe, I said it was me thinking too much." Barbara Minerva muttered secretly and left silently.
