An Understated Dominance - Chapter 125

“You’re hopeless,” James thought, shaking his head at Dustin. He really didn’t understand what Dustin was doing. Dahlia frowned too, clearly confused by the scene unfolding before them.

Ignoring the curious crowd, Dustin bent down to the broken Luminianth Root and started searching for something among the pieces.

Before long, he pulled out a small, crimson Luminianth Root, about the size of a finger. It was a deep red, almost like blood, and it gave off a strange smell.

“This is unusual. How could there be a smaller Luminianth Root?” Ruth wondered aloud, puzzled by what she saw.

“Can Luminianth Roots actually reproduce?” she asked, still trying to make sense of it.

Then, Mr. Walter’s eyes widened as he realized something. “No way! Could it be that this is a Blood Luminianth Root?!”

His words sent a wave of excitement through the room.

“What? A Blood Luminianth Root? Mr. Walter, you must be joking!” someone exclaimed.

“No, I’m serious! I’ve read about it in a book. This is really a Blood Luminianth Root!” Mr. Walter insisted.

“Oh my God! I can’t believe I’m seeing a Blood Luminianth Root in person! How thrilling!” the crowd buzzed with excitement.

Some people were amazed, while others felt a twinge of jealousy.

“Wait! What’s a Blood Luminianth Root?” Ruth asked, looking around for answers.

“A Blood Luminianth Root is a rare type of Luminianth Root. It’s much more valuable than a regular one! You could call it the King of Luminianth Roots. It’s a priceless treasure!” Mr. Walter said, his eyes gleaming with joy.

“Priceless? How much would it be worth?” Ruth asked, intrigued.

“The Blood Luminianth Root is incredibly valuable. If I auctioned it, it could sell for more than ten billion dollars!” Mr. Walter’s words left everyone in shock.

“Ten billion?!” the crowd gasped in disbelief.

Everyone was stunned by what he had just said.

The amount was something none of them could afford, even if they sold everything they owned!

“How—how could it be? This tiny thing is worth ten billion dollars?” Florence gasped, her eyes wide with disbelief.

“Ten billion is just the starting price. If it goes to auction, it could even go higher!” Mr. Walter exclaimed.

His words drained the color from Florence’s face.

This Blood Luminianth Root belonged to her. Yet, she had sold it for only five million dollars. From ten billion to five million… the difference was shocking!

“How could this happen? No! This can’t be!” she cried out.

At that moment, Julie and the others were in shock, unable to accept the reality.

Who would have thought a Blood Luminianth Root could be hidden inside a wilted Luminianth Root?

“Dustin, my man! I can’t believe how lucky you are! You found a Blood Luminianth Root. That five million was well spent!” Ruth laughed joyfully.

Even someone like her had never seen anything worth ten billion dollars.

“You! Thank you for your sacrifice. If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t have been able to get this treasure. To be fair, it was supposed to be yours. What a shame you didn’t see its value. Because of your mistake, we got it for such a low price! Ten billion dollars! How amazing!” Ruth shook her head with a sigh.

Her words cut deep.

Julie and Florence turned red with anger, feeling as if they had fallen into a pit of mud.

This was a treasure worth ten billion dollars!

Because of a small mistake, they had given it away. They felt truly defeated.
