The energy emitted from the jade pieces was very cool. They would not have energy like that if they were buried underground. Therefore, Wilbur assumed that these jade pieces came from the bottom of the sea.


    Haron found the jade collectibles from sunken ships, yet they had no scent of the sea, which meant that Haron was a cautious person. He probably held on to the batch of goods for more than a month before he traded them on the market.


    Therefore, Wilbur was sure that Haron must have found the trade route that went to Terya from Rostead. Moreover, he must have found some sunken trade ships.


    The seventh cauldron was probably from there. ording to Dasha culture, they liked to pair collectibles, so there were probably two cauldrons on that ship. If his guess was correct, Wilbur believed that he would find the next cauldron soon.


    However, it did not seem like an easy task. Kearson and Haron would be wary of him. He could only get to learn about the trade route slowly through Molton.


    Since Molton was a sneaky merchant, the best way to manipte him was to be on his side through profit and trade. Wilbur lied that he had a friend in the jade collectible business to bait Molton.


    Just when Wilbur was observing the jade collectibles, he heard someone knock on the door. He walked to the door and opened it, just to see Molton and two men standing outside. Molton adjusted his clothes and said with a smile, "Mister Penn, I was wondering if you are free. I would like to invite you to dinner."


    "How did you know I was staying here, Mister Molton?"


    Molton replied, "Please don''t worry about that, Mister Penn. I just hope you know I don''t have ill intent. I only want to work with your friend, and I appreciate this opportunity. I can sell the jade collectibles that your friends want for half of the price. I only hope you give me a chance, Mister Penn."


    Wilbur told Molton at the shop that his friend would purchase ten jade collectibles first. If the jade quality was good, they would invest and purchase a thousand jade collectibles with three hundred million dors.


    Three hundred million dors was not a small amount of money. It was clear that Molton was dead set on getting the opportunity.


    Wilbur smiled, then nodded and said, "Good. I''m very satisfied with the price you offered. How about youe inside and let''s discuss?"


    "Alright." Molton nodded and wanted to enter the room. Suddenly, a middle-aged man in the hallway walked over and yelled, "Don''t trust him, Mister Penn. Molton is just a reseller. He doesn''t have his own jade mines, nor does he have jade processing factories. How can he offer cheap jade stones for you? When a reselling merchant sells goods, they inevitably mark up the prices midway. If you buy jade collectibles from Molton, he will profit like crazy because he has added his own margin, even if he gives you half the price. Mister Penn, consider this, could such jade collectibles possibly be of top quality?"


    The guy''s name was Hart, and he was also a jade collectible merchant. He had his shop in the Korlyn City antique market, just like Molton. However, Hart was different from Molton. Molton was a reselling merchant, who profited from the price difference of his sales. Meanwhile, Hart had his own jade mines and factories to process them.


    Hart sold jade collectibles, thus earning all the profits from mining to selling throughout the entire process. Moreover, the storefront of Hart''s shop was muchrger than Molton''s, and far more people purchased jade collectibles from Hart.


    It could be said that Hart owned more than forty percent of the jade collectible business in Korlyn City. The rest of the sixty percent were from various major collectible shops. Rondar''s sales only took up less than one percent.


    Three hundred million dors was a sizable sum for the collectible industry, so everyone wanted a piece of the profit. Molton thought he got ahead of others and could close a deal with Wilbur before the others jumped in.
