Chapter 162 - Breakthrough Part 8

Egg fried rice. A simple and delicious food.

Every three to five grains of rice were perfectly mixed with the egg flavor and there was a lovely golden sheen to the dish, which only added more mystique to the delicious aroma wafting around.

Monkey helped himself to a whole bowlful of the appetizing dish and was happily enjoying his food whilst watching a Korean drama.

Both Luther and he were sincerely taking notes about how to keep their women happy from the entertaining heart-melting soaps.

But suddenly a special phone call with a special ring tone and from, of course, the special wifey, interrupted the peaceful atmosphere.

Monkey shrugged his shoulders and continued his meal.

Normally, he would have been worked up about the slew of dog food that was about to come his way. Since he was already munching on something delicious, he didn't particularly care about it today.

But even beating his expectations, the voice that sounded from the phone made him literally spit out the food and choke on it a little bit.

"Hubby. Some people here are bullying me." A gentle voice feebly sounded through the phone.

Monkey stared dumbfounded. What the heck? Who would dare bully you?

Aren't you guys taking this thing just a bit too far???

But, as opposed to his constipated face, Luther looked genuinely worried.

"My poor baby. I told her not to fight anymore and now someone even dared to bully my wife! Hmph."

He immediately started closing the shop, almost with Monkey in it and rushed over in his black Mercedes.

"Are you guys doing some sort of elaborate role-playing?" Monkey was still confused.

"And if so, can you please just drop me off somewhere? anywhere?"

"I just really don't want to spectate your special drama. That's all I am asking for. Please."

Luther however, ignored the poor guy's rant and continued driving. Su Lin had asked him to bring along some manpower, so he dragged Monkey with him as well.

And much to Monkey's dismay, he only stopped when they reached the Jade exhibit venue.

"What happened? What happened?" Luther rushed over genuinely concerned.

He saw the sweet pouty expression on his wife's face and immediately pulled her into a bear hug.

He then planted a deep passionate kiss on her soft lips and only then withdrew to investigate who wronged his precious wifey.

Su Lin was now standing at the back entrance of the hotel, in order to keep a watch on her precious items that were being packed away to someone else's warehouse.

She excitedly told Luther her good news. "I came here just to get old man Su to release my papers, but I actually stumbled across something very exquisite!!!"

Luther intently listened to her and Monkey sighed on the side.

He could never tell with these two. They might be talking about something important. They might also be talking about something utterly nonsensical.

"The stones that they have are very useful to improve our cultivation speed and progress. We should definitely get our hands on that."

"We also need to inquire that shop keeper to see where he mined those from. There definitely should be a lot more leftover."

Su Lin hurriedly explained with her face flushed with excitement.

Ah Min was shocked at her boss's many different faces.

She couldn't exactly hear what they were talking about, but her cold and domineering boss for some reason had a very childlike expression on her face.

Ah Min tacitly understood when she was not needed, and immediately withdrew herself to make sure that all their Imperial Jade raw stones were processed appropriately.

And Su Lin, Luther, and Monkey huddled in a corner to discuss how they were going to kidnap these invaluable rocks.

Now that Monkey knew for sure, these two love birds were actually talking shop, he dove into it voluntarily as well.

After a few minutes, the trio dispersed. Su Lin and Luther discreetly followed the truck, while Monkey returned back to their villa to grab something.

Hahoe Masks!

Since they were all pretty public figures, they couldn't afford to get caught on any cameras while doing shady things.

Compared to all these dramatic preparations, the rest of the mission was pretty anti-climactic.

How can normal thugs and underlings even compare to almighty cultivators??!!

Luther had literally taken 2 seconds to knock out the four guys in the truck and within the next few seconds, the loot was easily retrieved as well.

The fainted guys neither caught a glimpse of his face nor the mask and only managed to see some sort of a blur.

"Guess this turned out better after all. I didn't even have to pay for the rocks." Su Lin exclaimed with her eyes glowing brightly.

"My pretty little money grubber." Luther disgustingly sent an air kiss towards his adorable wifey.

Only, the ridiculously handsome guy still looked ridiculously handsome even when doing that.

The trio had already returned back to the villa with their bounty and Luther silently leaned against the wall, watching his wifey brutishly unpack the bunch of rocks.

She then used her soft marshmallow hands to break open some severely rocky exteriors to get to the core of the huge uneven chunk.

Though her simple cutwork was much more enticing and magnificent to look at compared to the professional gem cutters.

Her hands moved at breakneck speed and efficiently carved out perfect cubes.

Su Lin only stopped when she had about fifty of those perfectly shaped cubes. She wiped her forehead with a waste cloth and heaved a sigh of relief.

"Fifty should do for now!" She exclaimed and stood up.

Luther and Monkey couldn't help but wonder what could really be special about these ordinary looking things.

They still looked very plain and normal, except that they were perfectly shaped.
