Chapter 337: Chapter 264: To Buy or Not to Buy?

Joyce made herself lose an item that could be considered a priceless treasure!

Although Joyce acted based on her own thoughts, she couldn’t put all the blame on herself!

So in the end, Joyce silently bore it all.

Hugh Perkins actually knew in his heart that he couldn’t blame Joyce, so he only scolded her a few times and didn’t say anything further.

He understood Joyce’s character but didn’t try to correct it. It’s normal for a butler of a noble family to be a bit arrogant, right?

Otherwise, why would they be nobles?

However, he was unwilling to accept this and thinking it over, he eventually turned to Black.

If Sean Knight could sell a crystal hand bone, there might be a second one.

So, he got Sean’s number from Joyce and called him personally.

Seeing a strange number, Sean answered the call.

"Is this Mr. Sean Knight? I saw your crystal hand bone at Black’s, and I’m wondering if you have any more?"

When he heard this, Sean thought it was the old noble introduced by Black, so he said:

"I do indeed have an item with energy here, but the price is quite high."

As soon as Hugh heard Sean speak, he immediately said:

"As long as it can make me young again, the price is no problem!"

"Then come to my villa, and we can discuss it in person. By the way, how should I address you?" Sean said.

"My name is Hugh Perkins."

Hugh Perkins? Sean found it a bit familiar.

He had already forgotten this guy. The main reason was that Joyce was too strong; she made such an impression on Sean with her arrogance that he didn’t pay any attention to the name of her master!

Hugh was surprised, the deal was actually made!

That easy?

After hanging up the phone, he became even more convinced that the previous failure was mainly due to Joyce.

Look, with a better attitude, the problem is solved, right?

As soon as Sean hung up the phone, just as he was considering which sacrificial item to sell to this person, the phone rang again.

"Mr. Sean Knight?" Compton Wallace had calmed down, his voice slightly aged, and introduced himself. "I was introduced by Mr. Black, and I’d like to purchase the kind of item that can absorb energy."

Sean was a bit confused.

How did another one come?

But it sounded like this was the real old noble introduced by Black.

So who was Hugh Perkins?

"Sure." Sean replied while contemplating, "But that thing isn’t cheap, there aren’t many of them."

"I know, I know. The price is not an issue, as long as it truly has an effect." Compton only cares about the effect now.

Previously, his idea was to be able to return to Europe before he died while repaying those who had cursed him.

Now, all he wants is to be able to live longer so that he can do more!

As for money, if he lived a few more years, making it wouldn’t be a big problem!

"Alright, if you have time this afternoon, you can come to my villa, and we can talk."

Sean and Hugh had arranged to meet tomorrow morning, so he would let Compton come first.

After hanging up the phone with Compton, Sean called Black.

He thought it through, and only Black could have leaked the news about him having something that could make people younger.

So, Black should know the origin of this Hugh Perkins

Black then told Sean about Hugh Perkins’ origins.

When he found out that Hugh called Sean to buy the energy-absorbing treasure, Black leisurely said:

"Hugh’s family runs a mine, so their wealth is quite substantial... He’s also developed an arrogant habit. It’s quite a surprise that he’s willing to call you personally this time. In the past, such matters were always handled by his butler."

Butler?

Sean suddenly realized and remembered the butler who had angered him.

It turned out to be this guy!

With this knowledge, he wouldn’t be forgiving unless he charged him heavily to redeem his previous anger.

Seeing that Sean understood his meaning, Black was satisfied and hung up the phone. He had already bought a plane ticket and planned to take the crystal hand bone home to meet his father. Such a good thing must be kept close to his family first!

As for research, that could wait!

Everyone is selfish, and Black is no exception.

That afternoon, Sean ultimately took out a golden kneeling terracotta figurine about a foot high to sell to Compton.

Since he was planning to sell it at a high price, he didn’t absorb the energy contained within.

Anyway, there were many more such figurines, so selling one didn’t hurt.

This time, Sean called Elijah and his two companions over.

"There’s a transaction today. Although it’s in the villa, I’m worried about security, so you guys stay here."

When Compton was about to arrive, he called Sean again.

Sean had someone open the villa’s front gate and let in the luxury anti-theft car.

Compton was in his fifties, with graying hair, walking with a cane, wearing a suit, and had the air of a handsome middle-aged man from a Hollywood movie.

However, he didn’t seem in very good health.

He was followed by two bodyguards in black suits and sunglasses.

Sean welcomed them in front of the villa.

"I didn’t expect Mr. Knight to be so young." Compton was genuinely surprised.

"And I didn’t expect Mr. Compton to be so handsome." Sean flattered, cheap words didn’t cost a thing.

Both host and guest were very polite as they entered the villa, and Kathy Lewis brought tea and refreshments.

The maids left, and Kathy stood aside.

Compton saw the golden kneeling terracotta figurine displayed on the tea table first thing.
