The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 104

Chapter 104: A SWINDLER

There were around eleven rocks on the table after this old man tipped the package upside down and grinned at both of them.

"Pick! Pick!" He said excitedly, as he nudged the rocks toward them. "I will give them to you below market price! I got these from the Red Claw pack."

Red Claw was the richest pack in this continent and had the biggest mines, bigger than what Howling Wolf pack and Blue Moon pack had combined. Most of their magic stones had the element of fire, unlike their mines, which consisted of earth and water elements, though the latter type was hard to find.

Iris looked at Cane, who nodded at those rocks.

"Pick," he said.

She felt that he wanted her to pick the water magic stone to replace the one that she gave to Ania during their journey to the Howling Wolf pack.

Iris looked at the eleven rocks, the magic stones were still inside these rocks and it would need a tool to take them out, unless you had Cane’s skill, as he could do it with bare hands.

However, it was only a little inconvenient to get the magic stones out of the rocks, but the problem here was; Iris couldn’t feel any magic stones inside the rocks, not even a single one of them.

She touched all the eleven, but there was nothing.

"Young lady, you must have a great sense, you must know that these rocks contain a great magic stone in each! You don’t need to waste your time and just pick whatever you want," the old man grinned from ear to ear, trying to coax her to choose quickly.

On the other hand, Cane looked calm and waited for Iris to choose patiently.

Iris didn’t say anything, she only shook her head subtly, indicating that there was nothing inside the rocks.

"Are you sure?" Cane mouthed, but since Iris could only read lips, she could understand him perfectly.

"Yes."

Only then Cane shifted his attention toward the old man. "There is nothing inside," he said calmly.

"What? Of course, there is a magic stone inside, you can take a look!" He said hastily. His expression flustered, as he looked at Cane and Iris back and forth.

"There is nothing inside." Cane repeated his answer, but he didn’t stand up, instead, he ordered two drinks for himself and Iris.

"Oh, seriously, how can you know there is nothing inside."

"Do you want me to prove it to you?" Cane tilted his head.

"Sure, you need to prove it, but you need to buy it first." The old man became indignant because Cane snickered at him mockingly.
