Chapter 456 Are You Not Interested

There were three things that Natalie was passionate about. Not money but good wine and medicinal drugs.

If she had to pick one among the three, she would choose the last one.

Over at Dream, she had hidden many rare and precious traditional medicine in her safety deposit box, but despite how much she had in her collection, she was never satiated. She simply had to go and look for new ones whenever there was an opportunity.

Yandel smiled when he saw the thrill on Natalie’s face. “See, Ross, I told you she would be interested. You said she wouldn’t want to go to the black market, but it turns out you worried too much. She will definitely be up for it as long as she gets to get more drugs.”

Ross nodded in agreement. “You could really read her like a book.”

“That’s for sure!” Yandel smiled proudly. “She might have a lot of people working under her, but I’ll always be the one who knows her the best.”

Meanwhile, Lia came over and held Natalie by her arm. “Ms. Nichols, may I go with you? I would really love to visit the market.”

“Of course!”

“Yay! I’m so excited about it.”

A smile curved on Yandel’s lips as he gazed at the two women feeling pleased about the trip, but his smile froze when Ross tapped him on the shoulder and challenged him.

“Mr. Moss,” he said, “You might have worked with Ms. Nichols for the longest time, but all of us admire her the same. We also know her very well.”

Yandel felt rather annoyed, but on another thought, he figured it was a good thing that so many employees really cared for Natalie.

Thinking of that again, put a smile on his face.

The lot set out for the black market in the same car.

The market was located in a diffusely populated suburb, but one could even find people of the most bizarre and impressive backgrounds here.

There were a few tycoons and people from prestigious families who bought assets in the area.

After they got off the car, Natalie and Lia took the lead and walked ahead of Ross and Yandel.

Lia darted her curious gaze around the area as she walked around. She had heard of this place before, but because Lionel was so strict with her, she never got the chance to come to a place like this.

Now that this chance landed her, she told herself she must milk it and enjoy herself to the fullest.

Items like untreated stone, antiques, precious gems and weird drugs were laid out in the hall immaculately for the perusal of customers.

Since Natalie was not interested in other items, she went straight to the display that showed drugs, but to her disappointment, she found nothing intriguing after taking a look.

It was not that those drugs were not rare ones, but rather, they were too old compared to the ones she had back in her safety deposit box. Those exhibited paled in comparison to her own collection, so even after examining them for a long time, she did not make any purchase.

“Is there anything you like, Ms. Nichols?” Ross asked.

“Nothing as of now,” she said honestly. “I don’t think there’s anything that caught my attention. Maybe I’ll come around next time. Perhaps I’ll come across something I like then.”

The four of them roamed around until they came to the area of display for precious stones used for stone-gambling.

There was a pile of untreated stones in the area. They looked painfully regular on the outside, but once they got processed, those jade could be sold for thousands. Given this lucrative profit, many would buy these raw stones.

They were sold in units of a pound. The cheapest one was priced at hundreds per pound, while the most expensive one was at tens of thousands.

If a stone happened to contain premium jade, then its price would leap. However, if it were just a normal piece of rock, then it would be worthless.

Thus, it went without saying that this particular area of the black market was awash with interested buyers.

Many of them became broke because they betted on these stones, while others became rich overnight because they were lucky.

Potential buyers gathered around with magnifying glasses in their hands, scrutinizing raw rocks of different sizes on the racks.

“Do you want to try, Boss?” Yandel asked.
