64 -64: Delivering the Jade Talisman
When Peter Brown made the call to Sophia Gibson, he directly stated his intention to treat their classmates to dinner.
“We won’t decline then, since you’ve made a fortune.”
Sophia said with a laugh.
Soon, everyone agreed on the location.
Since there was still some time, Peter took a shower and changed into a new set of clothes, looking refreshed.
He knew some of the classmates in Sophia’s class and figured that the jade talisman wasn’t too hard for him to come by, so he put it in his bag.
After securely placing the bag with the jade tablet in another room, Peter headed to the agreed-upon location.
“Why are you just arriving?
We have been waiting for ages.”
Upon arriving, Sophia came out to greet him.
Her white jeans made her tall figure quite attractive.
Already beautiful, she had colored her shoulder-length hair light purple.
This attracted Peter’s gaze as he looked at her intently.
For some reason, Sophia felt quite proud of herself as she noticed his gaze, smiling and asking teasingly, “Haven’t seen a beautiful girl before?”
At this, Peter snapped back to reality and praised her, “Truly beautiful!”
Sophia didn’t expect such a straightforward response and blushed, saying, “You’re asking for a beating!” as she pretended to hit him.
“Old classmate, I made some money this time, and I have a little something for you.”
As Peter spoke, he handed over a pendant-like defense talisman.
It was the finest defense talisman he had carved from the best jade, which Sophia recognized as valuable.
Her eyes lit up, but she quickly said, “This is too precious!”
Peter grabbed her hand, stuffing the defense talisman into it and insisting, “No refusal allowed!”
Feeling her hand being grasped by Peter, Sophia’s face turned even redder, and her heart raced, unknowingly holding on to the jade talisman.
“You two!”
Just then, a voice came from behind.
Turning around, they saw Jessica Spencer approaching with a smile.
“Jessica!”
Sophia’s face grew even redder as she clutched the jade talisman.
“What’s this, making private vows?
Peter, what did you give her?” Having called Jessica, who she had known for years, Sophia mentioned that Peter and Jessica also knew each other, so she invited Jessica along.
Hearing that Peter was treating dinner, Jessica happily came.
She was also quite interested in Peter.
It was clear that the two women were very close, and Jessica teasingly looked at the talisman in Sophia’s hand.
“No, it’s just a piece of jade.”
Sophia opened her palm.
Jessica spotted the talisman right away and praised it: “What a beautiful jade!”
She looked at Peter and said, “You’re giving it to a beautiful girl!” with somewhat complex emotions in her eyes.
Seeing Jessica’s expression, Peter hurriedly took out another identical jade talisman from his bag and handed it to Jessica, saying, “I made a little fortune and crafted these myself.
Here’s one for you too.”
Seeing Peter act so casually, Jessica laughed and said, “Fine, I’ll accept it since you seem sincere.” Jessica was also happy inside because it was evident that Peter had given her the same level of gift as he had Sophia.
Arm in arm with Sophia, she continued, “Let’s go!
Today, let’s feast on this kid’s dime.
Look, he must have made more money from selling those jade pieces.
He’s spending like there’s no tomorrow, cutting them into such small chunks!”
Watching the two women walk away, Peter shook his head.
From behind, both women were stunning, their waist swaying and hips mesmerizing as they walked.
Peter couldn’t help but feel parched watching them.
Soon enough, everyone was in the restaurant.
Peter noticed the two women discreetly putting away the jade. free𝑤ebnovel.com
As soon as Peter entered, the female classmates stood up, laughing.
“Peter is here!”
“Local tycoon, we’re going to feast on you today!”
“Brother Wang, come sit next to me.”
The girls seemed enthusiastic.
A male student asked, “Peter, what happened with those stones you opened?”
Peter replied, “Barely broke even, sigh.
There’s nothing good.”
Jessica heard this and glanced at Peter, a smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.
“Peter, don’t forget the treat you promised us.
You have to give us a little something,” a beautiful girl extended her hand, expecting a treat.
“Billionaire, Scarlet is right!
Everyone who’s here should get a share,” the young people started joking around.
Peter noticed that Jalen Carter was absent today, figuring that the boy must have been too embarrassed to come.
The male students were teasing the most, perhaps out of some mindset that Peter had no choice but to give them something.
Peter smiled slightly and said, “Well, I actually have prepared something for everyone.
I’ve been inscribing protective talismans today.
I’ll give one to each of you.
How about that, deserves a thumbs up, right?”
Hearing Peter’s words, everyone laughed and joked again.
They were only looking for fun.
Peter glanced around and noticed that not everyone had come.
A few people who were close with Jalen Carter hadn’t arrived.
Today’s gathering was made up of exactly ten people.
He took out the mediocre-quality talismans and handed them to everyone one by one.
“It’s a jade pendant!”
Although Peter considered these talismans mediocre, they were still quite good in the eyes of others.
A female classmate immediately exclaimed in delight.
“There’s no string to wear it.
You’ll have to add one yourself and wear it.
This is no ordinary item; it can help you block bullets.”
Peter said jokingly, not caring whether or not they took him seriously.
He figured that as long as they saw each other and he gave them a jade talisman, it was a kind deed.
Whether they let it sit unused or decided to sell it was none of his concern.
After handing out the talismans, Peter casually gave Sophia and Jessica another one each.
The two women knew that the talismans they received earlier were the best quality.
Peter giving them another one now signified that they were equal to everyone else, not wanting to cause conflict within the group.
Seeing Peter handle the situation so considerately and carefully, the two women exchanged glances, praising him internally.
Remembering that their talismans were far more valuable than their classmates’, they quickly glanced at Peter once more.
