Chapter 78: Buying Stones
"Hehe. I'll tell you about it later, grandpa. We're having a date today." Eliza giggled and entered the jeep with the helpless Elena.
Vernard raised his brow. Even Elena became the lover of Ban. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn't thought much about it. He patted Ban's shoulder "Take good care of them for me."
"Mm." Ban nodded seriously. He added "My disciple is in the training camp of the new soldiers. Check her out if you have time, grandpa." He smirked.
"Hahaha! Good! Good! Go on, kid. Go busy with your business. I want to see my great grand kids soon. Hahaha!" Vernard let out a hearty laugh.
The sisters inside the jeep blushed furiously. They covered their faces in shame.
The soldiers in the surrounding made a sorrowful expression. Their twin goddess, who became even more beautiful than before, had the same lover. This is the saddest time of their life.
"Hah! We'll be going now." Ban entered the jeep with also a happy laugh.
...
"Say, hubby. What's that emergency did you mentioned earlier?" Eliza asked Ban with confusion.
"It's about Penelope. She became unconscious after we left the VIP room." Ban calmly explained. He still had a little guilt for scaring that classmate of his.
"Penelope?! How is she now?" Elena exclaimed in surprise.
"She's fine. Her body is in the process of being reborn currently."
The sisters gawked at Ban.
"Ahem!* That's the story. Look, we're almost at the jewelry store." Ban tried to evade the topice and pointed at a luxurious building not far from them.
"Hold on a sec. You- Is she one of your lovers?" Eliza quickly asked. She knew Ban would never do something so important, unless he/she is a close friend or a lover. Eliza's wild imagination already pointed Penelope as one of Ban's lover.
"Ahem!* Not really a lover... yet." He glanced at Elena who unknowingly blushed. He continued "But there is a certain connection between us."
"So that's how it is. I think she's okay. However, I heard she already had a boyfriend. That young man who seems to be your classmate." Eliza raised her brow.
"Mm." Ban nodded. He continued "They are not that close when we were at school. I also wonder why she accepted him to be her man."
"I don't mean to assume, but back when we were studying, she always tried to get closer to me. I also had a certain crush on her, but I can't ruin her future since she is from a prominent family. I'm being realistic at that time." Ban explained.
The trio entered the building with locked fingers each side of Ban.
"She almost confessed her love to me after the exam last week, but got interrupted in some way."
"Oh. I wonder why she accepted another guy when she's into you?" Eliza pondered for a while. She didn't noticed the envious gaze at the surroundings.
Ban chuckled and shrugged "Of course, your hubby was so handsome back then. Even your sister, little pikachu got hooked by my charm."
Elena wanted to laugh at first, but when she heard the latter words of Ban, she blushed in shame. She pinched his waist with force.
Ban twitched his mouth and glanced at Elena. He smirked at her expression.
Elena blushed even more as she covered her face with her hand.
"Hello, esteemed guests. May I know kind of jewelry are you looking for?" Said the lady who's attending the area.
"I'm looking for a opal stones, raw opal stones. Do you have those kind of stones?" Ban inquired.
"Raw? Uhh.. There are many polished displayed here in the store, but if you are really for raw opal stones, then I will ask the manager for your request, sir."
Ban nodded and waved his hand "Please."
After a few minutes, the manager of the jewelry store came to greet at the trio couple. The manager was a beauty with unique charm around her.
"I heard you are looking for raw opal stones, Sir? May I know what kind of opal you needed?" A pleasing voice immediately greeted the trio.
Ban raised his brow upon recognizing that the woman was a Divergent. A high level one at that, almost the same as Nancy at the Arena at that time when he first met her.
"The cheapest ones you got. I need a bunch of them." Ban replied calmly.
"Oh? We had a new arrival of stones from other contries today, all raw. Would you like to see?" The woman nodded and asked.
"Please."
...
The process became smooth as Ban bought 50 kilograms of semi polished opal stones. He paid the stones for almost 300 million dollars.
"Thank you for your patronage. Please come again next time if you happen plan to buy another batches of stones. This is my business card." The woman let out a charming smile to the trio and gave them each card.
'Oh? She's the owner of this store?' Ban looked again at the beauty in front.
"Thanks."
Before Ban could carry the bag, a group of thugs carrying guns suddenly barged in at the entrance with an aggressive approach.
Ban raised his brow. They were middle-aged people with tattoos on their bodies. They covered their head with black bonet and pointed their guns at the people inside the store. They were clearly criminals judging by how efficient they handle their guns and positions.
"This is robbery-"
*Rumble!* *Bam!*
"Robbery my ass. Don't do bad things in the future. Listen to the teachings on your mama." Ban scolded the unconscious group of thugs on the floor.
"Let's go. I kind of want to go on a amusement park to have some fun." Ban turned to the sisters.
Eliza only giggled while Elena twitched her lips in disbelief.
The trio couple walked out of the store leaving the dumbfounded crowd.
Even the beautiful manager raised her brow in surprise. She looked again at Ban with a new light. She thought that Ban was only a rich young master from known family while wearing a military uniform. She could fight those thugs easily but she cannot guarantee if there will be a casualty on her side.
'What an interesting young man.'
The woman let out a alluring smile as she glance at the trio who already went away.
...
At the park...
The trio couple sat on a long chair, waiting for the sun to set. They're eating ice cream as they chatted happily.
"Where's the stone? Did you forgot to bring those items? Wait.. I saw you carried those, but I didn't noticed it was now gone." Eliza had a confused look as she glanced at Ban.
"Oh. I don't know. Let's forget those things. Hah! It's just a stone." Ban waved his hand casually like a prodigal bastard would do. In fact, he already stored the stones into his spatial treasure when they didn't notice.
"J-Just a stone?! You spend almost 300 hundred millions for those stones."
Some of the crowd widened their eyes in disbelief. That amount of money can feed their family until they die with old age. And now someone just throw a stone that's worth so much money just like that?
Ban twitched his lips at Eliza's outburst. He even noticed the crowd looking for something at the floor. They even checked the bushes with desperation.
"Calm down, Little Sis. Ban was just teasing you. He must have already kept the stones to a safe area." Elena calmly said to Eliza.
"Oh. My little pikachu knows me very well. Haha!" Ban let out a hearty laugh. He continued "But you shouldn't call me by my name. It sound so distant since you are my woman now." He gave a teasing smile to Elena.
"Who's your woman!?" Elena blushed in denial.
"Hehe. Big Sis is so cute right now. I suddenly want to hug you for being so adorable." Eliza giggled. She spread her arms to hug her sister.
"Watch the ice cream!" Elena helplessly stayed in place as she was hugged by her sister.
"Righy, hubby. Didn't you say that you have other lovers. Who are they?" Eliza turned to Ban and asked curiously.
"Mm. The first one is Sally Halls, my previous colleague at work and the other is Sophia Rocks, my cousin." Ban said with a smile.
"You had a relationship with your cousin?! You-" Eliza and Elena stared at Ban with disbelief.
"Hey! What's with that look? Even though she's my cousin, she's not really related to me by blood. You see, I am adopted by my parents." Ban explained.
"Eh? How come I didn't know that?" Elena was first to react.
"So that's how it is." Eliza let out an understading look.
Ban shrugged his shoulder and said "I don't know my real parents. I am also looking for Brother George to help me for that since he excells on finding people."
Elena glanced at Ban with a pondering expression.
