The Author's POV

Chapter 228

"Here's your item"

Holding onto a golden tray, Jeremiah politely bowed in my direction.

"Thank you"

Smiling kindly towards Jeremiah, I took the item that was on the tray. A small black rock.

"If you will excuse me, I will be leaving now. If you require my services once again, please feel free to contact me"

"Will do"

Nodding my head, I watched as Jeremiah left the room.

"You've seen enough?"

Tossing and playing with the rock in my hand, I quietly moved back to my seat. Completely disregarding the questioning looks coming from the others.

"Ren, why did you buy the rock?"

Kevin asked as he looked at the rock in my hand.

"This?"

Smiling, I casually tossed the rock in the air.

"Well, since they said it's unbreakable, why wouldn't I be interested in it? If I can somehow break it, wouldn't it be worth the cost?"

"Didn't you hear the part where it said that you can't break it?"

Emma interjected.

"What about in the long run? With modern technology advancing with each passing day, why disregard the possibility of being able to cut the rock in the future?"

Once again tossing the rock in the air, a calmly rebutted.

If one day the rock could be cut, its value would definitely shoot through the roof.

Not that this was the reason as to why I bought the rock, but it was indeed a good point.

"Ah, that's actually a good point"

At the words, 'long-run' Kevin finally had a look of understanding, as he proceeded to nod his head.

It seems like he thought that I was hinting at him that this was one of the things that I saw from my foreseeing abilities, but this was not really what I meant.

In the first place, why would I get such a detailed vision about a rock? It didn't make sense.

That aside, after my statement, Emma also shut up. She probably had given up.

'”Next up for our next item, here we have an amazing...

Taking everyone's attention away from me was the auctioneer who started presenting the next item.

'Fools...'

Playing with the rock in my hand, I shook my head.

What I had said before about being able to cut the rock in the future was a lie. This rock wasn't something that modern technology could cut.

The reason for this was because the rock in my hand was a metal known as Okluom.

An extremely dense and rare material that could only be found on a dwarven planet.

Though I wasn't exactly sure as to how the metal ended up in the auction as I never touched upon it in the novel, I knew that with it I could create an amazing weapon.
