Jasmine was very surprised at this time because Jack was not an ordinary person. Even the Moore family did not have the power or capacity to deal with someone like him.
However, she could not understand why Joe was so intent on offending Jack. Where did he find the confidence and courage to do so?
Jacob fell to the sofa as he held his hand against his chest. He could feel his heart beating frantically at this time as he panted in shock. “It’s over. This time, everything is over. My son-in-law is done for and the entire Wilson family will be completely destroyed.”
Jack’s face was stiff and Joe did not move an inch after saying those words to him.
However, Joe was right. This was an auction and if he wanted to get his hands on the clam, he would have to continue bidding for it.
But, one hundred million dollars…
Who would be able to afford that?
At this time, everyone had their eyes fixed on Jack as they waited for his response.
Jack was very furious at this time but for the sake of the treasure, he calmed himself down and suppressed his anger before he said in a low voice:
“My friend, if I’ve ever offended you in any way before this, I’m really sorry about it. It was unintentional and I hope that you can forgive me.”
“But this clam is something really useful to me and I really need it. Please do me a favor and let me have it instead. I promise to return the favor!”
Jack’s eyes flickered under the lights because he could not believe that this young man actually had the guts to embarrass and humiliate him in front of everyone else. After this matter was resolved, he would have to teach him a lesson!
Joe replied faintly at this time, “I’m really sorry but it is also very useful and valuable to me. I can’t let you have it.”
“Furthermore, I believe I’ve already mentioned this earlier, but you’re just a bully and your favor means nothing to me at all!”
Jack broke down at this time.
All that Jack could think of right now was that he would have to find a way to kill Joe as soon as the auction was over!
He had to kill him!
The people at the auction hall could not help but sigh at the situation that was unfolding before them. They did not expect this young man to challenge Jack all the way to the end.
After that, the auctioneer finally dropped his gavel and Joe succeeded in the bid for the clam for the price of one hundred million dollars.
Jack was so angry and he glanced bitterly at Joe before he left the auction hall immediately.
He wanted to kill Joe on the spot but circumstances did not allow it. He had to resolve this matter slowly.
Jasmine stared at Jack’s back as he walked away slowly before she reminded Joe, “Mr. Yaleman is not an ordinary person. I don’t think he’ll give up so easily. He’ll definitely try to cause some trouble for you. You should be careful and look out for yourself and your family.”
Joe smiled as he replied, “I’m just afraid that he won’t come for me!”
One hundred million dollars in exchange for a clam.
Everyone thought that Joe was insane but Joe did not care at all.
On the way back home, Joe explained to Jacob that he need not worry because the one hundred million dollars that he spent at the auction had already been authorized by the Quinton family. Joe was afraid that Jacob would be frightened and worried about what the Quinton family would do to them.
After arriving home, Joe began studying the clam immediately since Claire had not returned home from work yet.
The size of the clam was about the size of a regular tyre. It had already been cleaned up and after a simple polishing work, it revealed a golden-red and transparent smooth shell.
Joe managed to break it into several pieces without much effort at all.
He picked up one of the pieces as he began inspecting it.
As expected, there were three white beads attached to the back of the shell.
This was the Holy Pearl of the Ocean, one of the Seven Treasures of Buddhism, and since it was enclosed in this clam shell, it was even more spiritual.
Moreover, only shellfish with a life span of more than a hundred years would have any psychic and spiritual powers contained within them. They were formed by absorbing the essence of the ocean.
The Holy Pearl of the Ocean was one of the rarest and most spiritual treasures in the world that could not be easily found. This was the reason why Joe had to purchase it no matter how much it cost.
Joe was very satisfied because he had found a total of three Holy Pearls of the Ocean in the clam.
Joe subsequently brought out the Lightning Stricken Dragon Blood Wood before he used reiki to print several of his handprints on the wood according to the Apocalyptic Book.
As soon as he printed his handprints on the wood, he could immediately feel a strong and thunderous breath emitting from the wood.
When the Holy Pearl of the Ocean encountered the thunderous breath, a golden light enclosed the holy pearl as it absorbed the thunderous breath continuously.
Joe picked up the Holy Pearl of the Ocean before he began to chant in front of the artifact.
Very soon, the Holy Pearl of the Ocean gradually formed to perfection as it shone in his hand.
After that, Joe took the purple pearl necklace that he had won at the auction that day and took some pearls from it before mixing it up with the clam shards and one of the Holy Pearl of the Ocean. Finally, he formed them into a bracelet.
The remaining Holy Pearl of the Ocean were also in top condition.
Joe picked up one of the holy pearls before he refined it into a stun talisman as he planned to bring it to Graham.
Joe was certain that the Quinton family would definitely be able to deal with the evil spirit after he gave them the stun talisman made out of husk shell and combined with the thunderous breath that specializes in getting rid of evil spirits.
After he was done with all of these, Joe realized that he still had a lot of clam shards left. Since it was still early at this time, Joe held the clam shards in his hands as he tried to make a Thunder Order.
According to the Apocalyptic Book, the Thunder Order was a low level magic weapon that could be used mainly to summon thunder and rain.
As soon as he was done practicing the skills needed for the Thunder Order, Joe heard some movements in the living room.
It seemed as though his wife was already home.
Joe hurriedly kept the remaining pieces of the clam shards under the bed before he walked out of the bedroom with the bracelet freshly made out of the purple pearls and the holy pearl.
As soon as he raised his head, he saw Claire standing in the living room as she looked helplessly at her mother, Elaine.
When Joe walked over to the both of them, he saw Elaine showing off her wrist because she was wearing the jade bracelet that Graham had given to him when they met at Antique Street.
Elaine was very excited as she exclaimed, “Claire, this jade bracelet is really amazing! Everyone was praising me when I wore it out today. I felt so delighted!”
Claire stared at her mother in a helpless manner as she replied, “Mom! Isn’t this the jade bracelet that Joe brought home a few days ago? How could you wear it out without saying a word? I thought I’d lost it!”
Elaine stared at Claire before she replied, “I’m your mother! What’s wrong with me wearing your bracelet? Just let me wear it for a few more days. I’m very happy with the attention that I am receiving because of this jade bracelet!”
When he saw that the mother and daughter were arguing, Joe quickly hurried over to them before he said, “Claire, it’s okay. Your mother can have the jade bracelet if she likes it. I’ve just made a new bracelet and I am planning to give it to you.”
“What bracelet is it?” Elaine asked as she grabbed it from Joe’s hand.
However, when she saw that it was simply a bracelet made out of pearls and clam shells, she threw it at Claire before she said, “Oh, it’s just another one of those worthless things again!”
At this time, Claire took the bracelet in her hand before she asked, “Joe, you made this yourself, right?”
“Yes.”
Joe nodded before he replied, “This pearl and clam shard necklace has the effect of calming the nerves and it will help you to sleep well at night. If you wear it often, it will also help you to ward off evil. It was a little too rushed today that is why the workmanship is a little rough. I promise to make you a more beautiful bracelet when I have the opportunity to do so in the future.”
