Hundred Times Income Multiplier System - Chapter 595: Spatiokinesis
And the moment that he opened it, he found that inside the box, there was a small ability crystal bead, the same size as the one that he had seen before, but with a different color.
Inside of the box, there was a small crystal that was white in color. Although it was not completely bright, but still, looking at the shiny surface, Jack could not help but be a little bit surprised.
And to say the truth, he had not been expecting to find an ability crystal like the one that was present here. In any case, he had been expecting that there would be an ordinary ability crystal bead. But the one that he was looking at right now was definitely not ordinary. .
Just like the one that Sylvia possessed initially, this was also special. And in fact, this one was one of those that was rarely found within the Stronghold domain.
Even with the information that he possessed currently, Jack only knew that this ability crystal bead was related to spatiokinesis. Spatiokinesis was the ability to manipulate space.
And the number of people that possessed an ability to manipulate space could be counted, unlike those that possessed mind abilities, that although were quite rare, but still, when counted, they could be found in hundreds or even thousands.
Wade had been observing Jack all this while. Of course he could see that there was a slight change of expression on Jack’s face, although he had managed to compose himself a while later on.
Just from the fact that Jack was capable of maintaining his composure in front of the ability crystal bead that he had presented, that implied that either Jack had already seen several of them, or maybe, he was just capable of controlling his emotions so well.
At this moment, Wade began wondering what type of background Jack possessed. For him to possess something like the solution that he had given, that implied that he definitely had a big background that was the one that was supporting him.
But there was one thing that he could not understand. If he possessed a big background, why was it that he was intending to deal with the ace group? Additionally, since he was from a big background, why didn’t he ask his background for information about the ace group?
A background that was capable of producing the solution that Jack had given him was definitely not small. And since that was the case, they would definitely be having capabilities of dealing with a group like the Ace group.
Nevertheless, he decided not to talk about the matter right now. He had already realized that both Sylvia and Alicia knew Jack. So, after inquiring from them who Jack was, he would do further investigation about him. To him, it was better to create an ally out of Jack, rather than creating an enemy out of him.
As for his current level, although he was not sure, Wade believed that Jack was definitely not weak. At the end of the day, why would he give the solution away, if it could improve his strength? So, it was either that he possessed several other solutions that he could use, or maybe, he already possessed the information that the Storm family possessed the ability crystal bead?
“Wow! Dad, I never thought that you actually possessed an ability crystal bead. And which type of abilities found within this ability crystal bead?” Alicia approached Jack and looked over. When she looked at the item that was inside of the small box, she was a little bit surprised that she asked her father about it.
“Don’t worry about that. In case you have anything to ask, you will ask me later on after we complete the transaction here.” Wade waved his hand, not willing to give a response right now. He was waiting for Jack to reply.
As for Sylvia, although she was also surprised by the fact that her family also possessed an ability crystal bead, but still, she thought that this was to be expected. Her brother was keeping so many secrets, and she was sure that the moment that he revealed all of them, it was going to shock the entire Devin stronghold.
Finally, after observing the ability crystal bead for a few more seconds, Jack finally closed the box. Then, he looked at Wade and said, “This kind of ability crystal bead is rare. Those that possess the ability to manipulate space are not easy find.”
When Wade heard that, he was not surprised that Jack knew about it. From the fact that he was able to maintain his composure after being slightly surprised, that implied that he possessed information about the ability crystal bead.
“I know about that. But I’m pretty sure that the value of that ability crystal bead is quite high. If I take it out and decide to sell it, what I can receive in return is definitely going to be big.” Wade stated calmly.
Jack nodded in response. What Wade had said was actually true. As long as Wade wanted to sell this ability crystal bead, many people would come to buy it. And the value of the ability crystal bead was high as well.
“But there are a lot of dangers that are associated with the possession of this ability crystal bead. In case others know about the existence of this ability crystal bead, I’m pretty sure that the majority of them would try to gain it without losing anything.
At the time, I’m pretty sure that even your family will not be capable of protecting this ability crystal bead.” Jack pointed out the downside of possessing this ability crystal bead.
Wade’s expression became solemn after he heard what Jack had said. At the same time, he was wondering if Jack was trying to think of trying to threaten him with the information. Perhaps Jack would want to reveal the information to the outside world about the Storm family possessing an ability crystal bead that was related to spatiokinesis.
It might be true that It was going to be a rumor that was not proved unless the ability crystal bead was seen by someone else out there, but still, many people would still want to try and see if the information that they had received was actually true. So, in any case, the Storm family was going to be attacked.
This was the exact reason why the number of people that knew about the existence of this ability crystal bead who was only limited to three people, until today. At the same time, Wade made sure that he kept it somewhere that nobody would ever think that he kept something as valuable as the ability crystal bead in such a location.
But even before Wade could say anything, Jack continued. “Due to the fact that it is very rare, the number of people that possess spatiokinesis is also low. So, to find a person who is capable of activating this ability crystal, before it is processed into a serum, it is going to be a big hurdle.”
When Jack said that, Wade did not refute. After all, that was the truth. Had it not been for the fact that they did not have anybody that possessed spatiokinesis, they would have definitely not been keeping this ability crystal with them until now.
They would have already activated it, before finding a person who was going to process it into a serum that a person was going to take, so that that person could gain the ability within the ability crystal bead.
“In any case, it doesn’t matter. Although this ability crystal bead possesses a lot of disadvantages, with some of them being life-threatening, but I do believe that the value of this thing is quite high as well.
So if we cancel out the advantages with the disadvantages, the value of this ability crystal bead is somehow lower as compared to the solution that I have given you. But nevertheless, I don’t really mind this exchange.” Jack stated.
Wade also understood what Jack was saying. But still, he was a little surprised when Jack actually agreed to take the ability crystal bead, although he understood the dangers that were going to come with him possessing the ability crystal bead.
He could not help but wonder if Jack was not worried that he was going to use the information about Jack possessing the ability crystal bead to blackmail him. After all, that was a possibility, although Wade was not thinking of doing something like that.
It might be true that he would end up gaining something, but that was something that he was going to gain on a short-term. What he was looking for was something that was going to be capable of helping his family for a longer period of time. The benefits would get better as time moved on, and as Jack improved.
“So after you test the solution, I do believe that the transaction will have ended.” Jack stated as he looked towards the direction of the entrance of the living room. At this time, two people stepped into the room.
Wade and the others also looked in the same direction. They saw that Ruth was coming in with a middle-aged man who was having some of his hair having gray in them. It was clear that he was not that young.
The man who had come together with Ruth was tall, about 187 m. At the same time, he possessed a muscular stature for his height. He was currently wearing a loose white shirt and a pair of gray pants.
After he arrived, Ezekiel looked at Jack, the only stranger in the room for a moment, before he finally focused on Wade.
“You asked for me Wade.” Ezekiel stated as he smiled slightly. Not only due to the fact that the relationship between the two of them was quite good, but even Ezekiel was older than Wade. For that reason, he was capable of calling Wade by his name directly, regardless of the position that Wade held.
“There’s something that we want to give to you. According to the information that we possess, it is something that is capable of improving your strength drastically. But at the same time, it is something that we are testing for the first time, and we are not sure about it. So, are you willing to take the risk?” Not minding being called by his first name, Wade stated with a solemn expression as he looked at Ezekiel.
