Cade was one of the few master appraisers in the Devon Auction House. In order to poach this master appraiser from another auction house, the Devon Company not only offered him an annual salary of a million, but also greatly satisfied a strange hobby of his.
Cade's hobby was to collect all kinds of stones. People who had this hobby were generally known as stone enthusiasts. Coincidentally, Dawu, the son of the Devon Company, was also a fanatical stone enthusiast.
It was because of Dagou that the Devon Company was able to poach Cade, a master appraiser, from another auction without much effort. However, in addition to being a lover of stones, Dagou was also a powerful trainer, so he couldn't often discuss stone issues with the master appraiser.
It had been more than half a month since Dawu and Cade met. Cade felt a little annoyed as he spent every day appreciating the stones alone. The main reason was that not many of the stones collected by the Devon auction had caught his eye, which made him very unhappy.
However, Cade felt that today was a good day, because he had met another stone enthusiast who shared the same interests. There weren't many people who liked to collect stones, so it wasn't easy for him to meet someone who knew what they were.
Originally, Cade didn't believe that Kaede Sato was a professional stone enthusiast, but after some probing, he discovered that not only could Kaede Sato identify all the stones in his collection, but he could also tell the origin and use of these stones. This made him extremely shocked, and at the same time, he was very happy that he had found a true confidant.
"Hahaha ~ ~ Little friend, you really know what's good for you. This Stone of Darkness is of the highest quality. This old man found it in an underground tomb in the Fengyuan Desert when I was young. At that time, this old man almost died there. Sigh, these stones record this old man's youth."
Cade stroked his white beard as he looked at the black and swarthy stone in his hand and sighed. When he raised his head to look at Kaede Sato, there was a strong sense of admiration in his eyes.
This old man is really hard to please. Fortunately, I have the help of the system. Otherwise, I wouldn't even know what these stones are called.
Seeing the old man nodding in satisfaction after listening to his story, Kaede Sato couldn't help but smile. At the same time, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. The stone in the old man's hand was the last stone he had taken out of the safe.
However, Kaede Sato now admired the old man in front of him very much. The old man could be said to be a fanatical stone enthusiast. According to the Hunter classification in the Hunter World, he was at least a 3-Star Stone Hunter.
Cade had spent almost half of his life searching for rare stones. The stones that the old man showed him were not only precious, but also contained thrilling adventure stories. They did indeed record his wonderful life and lost youth.
At the same time, Kaede Sato also learned from Cade that there was another fanatical stone enthusiast. This person was the future Plentiful Origin Champion, Dagou.
Naturally, Sato Kaede was very familiar with the Fengyuan champion, Daigo. Daigo was indeed a rock enthusiast. From Sato Kaede's point of view, Daigo's love for rocks had reached the point of insanity.
How insane could he be? To the extent that he could give up the championship because he felt that it was too troublesome to be the champion. It would seriously affect his hobby of digging stones all over the world. That was why Mickeli had the chance to take the championship.
The reason why Kaede Sato was so patient in talking to Cade and gaining his favor was largely because Cade knew Dagou. If he could get to know Dagou, the Plentiful Origin Champion, through Cade in the future, he would really make a huge profit.
Dagou was the son of the Devon Company. He was a God-level tycoon. Being able to get to know him and become good friends through talking about stones would definitely be very helpful to his future path as a trainer. When he had no money, it should not be a big problem to borrow some pocket money from him.
Kaede Sato only wanted to get to know Dagou through Cade, but what surprised him was that the fanatical stone enthusiast he was trying to curry favor with would give him a big gift after he completely identified all the stones in his collection.
"Little Feng, to be able to recognize so many precious stones at such a young age, you can be considered a master of stones. In the future, your achievements will definitely surpass this old man's. Although these stones are my favorites, this old man has no use for them after I die. As a senior, this old man is giving you a little reward. Choose one of these stones, I'll give it to you."
Cade placed the top quality Darkness Stone in his hand on the table before speaking to Sato Kaede in a sincere and heartfelt manner. A kind smile appeared on his face, as if he was looking at his closest grandson.
"That won't do. Mr. Cade, you went through a lot of trouble to find these stones. How can I take them? No, no, I can't take them …"
Although he was very willing to take one immediately, Kaede Sato's face showed that he was flattered. At the same time, he kept saying that he would not accept it.
Seeing Kaede Sato like this, Cade was very satisfied. He secretly praised himself for not choosing the wrong person. This kid in front of him had a good temperament. Now, the more he looked at Kaede Sato, the more he liked him. At the same time, he made a decision in his heart.
"Hey, kid, are you looking down on this old man? If I tell you to take it, then take it. What's with all this nonsense? Quick, pick one. I, Cade, am a man of my word."
Seeing that Kaede Sato kept delaying, Cade was very satisfied, but in the end, he still deliberately said to Kaede Sato with a straight face. If Kaede Sato really did not take his precious stones, then things would not be easy to deal with.
"This, this …"
Hearing Cade say this, Kaede Sato suddenly felt a little confused. What was going on? These stones were good, but he really could not take them. He was not related to the other party, so it was against the rules to rashly take his things.
Moreover, one had to know that each of these stones on the table was sold at a sky-high price outside. How would he really dare to take them? If the other party suddenly retracted his words and said that he stole them, then he would not be able to wash his hands of them. The main point was that he was not strong enough, and he was afraid that he would not be able to leave this Giant Gold Monster Auction alive.
Fortunately, Kaede Sato was not a stupid person. With a little thinking, he understood the other party's intentions. The other party might need him to do something for him, but he was afraid that he would not do it without any benefits, so now he wanted to use the stones here to bribe him.
After hesitating for a moment, Kaede Sato said with a look of fear, "Then I will respectfully accept."
Although Kaede Sato did not know what the old man wanted him to do, he expected that it would not be a scam. After all, the old man still had a powerful stone lover like Dawu to help him. Even if he had to go to some dangerous areas to dig for rare stones, it would not be his turn. Dawu would definitely be very happy to do it.
With Dawu in front of him, what was there for him to be afraid of? After thinking about this, Kaede Sato immediately made the right choice.
Through the system's appraisal function, Kaede Sato knew that each of these stones was the best of the best. Among them, there were naturally many stones that Kaede Sato coveted. If he could really get one of them, it would indeed be a great opportunity.
However, what Kaede Sato never expected was that the other party's purpose was not to ask him to find rare stones, but to take him in as a disciple and teach him all his knowledge about stones. This huge pie that fell on his head immediately made Kaede Sato feel a little dizzy.
