"Did you think you won't look dumb doing this? No, it'd just make you look even dumber! Hahaha…Huh?"
Sif suddenly stopped laughing when she saw it—the tiny sprout that lay in Frank's palm after the hale pearl shattered.
There was no doubting it… The sprout was growing inside the pearl!
And though it was small, it was crystalline like a perfect gem. Its very shape was the work of a master craftsman, and the emerald luster was so bright that it hurt to stare at it for too long!
Moreover, one could see the bright green sap flowing through the crystalline sprout and the abundant vigor it carried.
Even an idiot would be able to see that it was special.
"I-Isn't that a Hale Marrow? Isn't it just a legend?!" Tavis shrieked on top of his lungs after a brief moment of shock, not caring about saving Sif's face just then.
The auction hall was left in an uproar right then.
"Hale Marrow? What is that?"
"Shit, it's the Hale Marrow! There's only a fractional chance it'd grow in mountains filled with spiritrons!"
"To think I'd set my eyes on one of Mother Nature's treasures while I'm alive! I can die happy!"
"Though it's just a rumor, I heard that it doesn't just promote longevity—it could also save you from the brink of death, and you'd feel so revitalized after that you could run marathons at full speed!"
"Shit, for real? That's just amazing!"
She had never heard of the Hale Marrow. However, she more or less got the idea that the tiny sprout in Frank's palm was a priceless treasure, given how impressed everyone else was. It was a marvel in itself, while her Hyperion Root was underdeveloped—no, even if it was fully mature, the Hyperion Root still would not compare.
And worst of all, her own family sold it to the Leaf family for two hundred thousand!
It was a number that stung Sif even as her heart bled, and she started to feel faint and could collapse at any moment.
Her family had given off a priceless treasure to the Leaf family for nothing, only for Frank to take it from her as she watched!
And Sif had to mock them just minutes ago—everything she said was now working against her as a proverbial slap in the face!
Why?! Why did no one in the Lionheart family recognize such a treasure while Frank could?!
