Chapter 4487 Chapter 4489 [Mountain of Light]
"Did you rob the Bank of England? How do you have so much money?" Angelica asked in surprise.
"This is my secret." Xiang Nan smiled, grabbed a handful of gold coins, silver coins, and gems from his purse and said, "You have seen my capital. Now you can tell me what big deal you want to negotiate." Is the business done?”
"Oh my god." Seeing Xiang Nan casually taking out the money, it was just so much money. Not to mention anything else, there were several gems alone, each as big as a pigeon egg, and each one worth at least four to five thousand pounds. Angelica couldn't help but marvel.
Then, she took out a diamond the size of an egg from her arms. It was crystal clear, flawless and dazzling.
"It's a diamond." Xiang Nan nodded, not very excited inside.
Because diamonds are crystals of carbon, they are not very valuable in themselves. Modern times have enabled industrial mass production, with a maximum weight of more than 300 carats.
The diamond in front of me is only about 200 carats. It was indeed extremely precious in the 18th century, but in modern society it is not so amazing.
"Yes." Angelica nodded, "This diamond is called the 'Mountain of Light'. It is the largest diamond in the world. It originally belonged to the Mughal Emperor of India. How much are you prepared to pay for it?"
"Our store only purchases exotic items. Although this diamond is indeed large, it does not meet our requirements." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said.
He had heard of the name of the Mountain of Light. It was said to be one of the largest diamonds in the world, and was later set in the Queen's crown.
But even so, it was of no use to him. He lacked neither money nor precious stones. There are countless gems the size of dove eggs in his purse.
"It's a bit strange. Put it between your eyebrows and listen carefully. You can vaguely hear the sound." Angelica said quickly.
"Hear a sound?" Xiang Nan was stunned and stretched out his hand, "Can you let me try it? If I can really hear a sound, I will definitely buy it at a high price."
"Okay, but don't try to **** it." Angelica hesitated and handed over the diamond, but then threatened, "Although I am alone, I am not a vegetarian."
"I can tell." Xiang Nan nodded. Even an ordinary person would not be wanted by the East India Company globally.
She probably stole this diamond from the East India Company. Since the establishment of the East India Company, they have been the only ones bullying others. How can anyone take advantage of them?
Even the famous Captain Jack Sparrow was afraid of the East India Company.
…
Then Xiang Nan took the gem and placed it between his eyebrows, but there was nothing strange about it.
"Where can I hear the sound?" He frowned in displeasure.
"There is indeed a sound, but you need to face the sun." Angelica quickly added.
Seeing this, Xiang Nan stood up and came to the window, letting the blazing sunlight shine on him.
At this time, a beam of sunlight happened to hit the diamond. After being refracted by the diamond, it hit Xiang Nan's eyebrows, and a voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
Xiang Nan listened carefully and found that it was ancient Sanskrit, but it was very blurry. With his hearing ability, he couldn't hear it clearly.
"Well, you heard the sound, can we talk about its price now?" Angelica said at this time.
"Okay." Xiang Nan nodded, "What's your price?"
"At least one hundred thousand gold coins." Angelica said immediately.
"One hundred thousand gold coins?!" Xiang Nan was stunned and laughed, "You really dare to speak."
"But I can agree to your price, provided you answer me a question." Xiang Nan said.
"What's the problem?" Angelica asked quickly. "Did you steal this diamond from the East India Company?" Xiang Nan asked.
When Angelica heard this, without saying a word, she immediately drew out the Triton sword from her waist and stabbed Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan did not dodge or dodge, and clamped his **** tightly to clamp the sword of Triton.
Angelica tried her best, but the sword couldn't move at all, she couldn't stab it, she couldn't pull it out.
Angelica was suddenly shocked, and then she made a decisive decision and dropped the sword in her hand, turned around and ran out.
Seeing this, Xiang Nan stretched out his hand and stopped her in place.
"Don't worry, I didn't want to report you to the East India Company, nor did I want to send you to exchange for a bounty." Xiang Nan waved his hand, "I just want to know how you got this diamond."
"Let me go first, otherwise you won't let me tell you anything." Angelica said angrily.
Seeing what she said, Xiang Nan waved his hand, and Angelica immediately resumed action.
Then she pulled out the dagger from her boot and stabbed Xiang Nan with lightning speed.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the tip of the knife reached three feet in front of Xiang Nan, it could no longer stab, as if it was blocked by an invisible wall of air.
"How is this possible?" Angelica was shocked.
"You are really cunning and disobeying discipline~" Xiang Nan sighed and shot out with a snap of his fingers.
With a crisp sound, the dagger in Angelica's hand was broken into two pieces.
This strange sight once again shocked Angelica. But she didn't give up. With a shake of her hand, a cloud of lime powder was instantly sprinkled on Xiang Nan.
Seeing this, Xiang Nan blew a breath, and in an instant, all the lime powder he sprinkled was blown towards Angelica, immediately making her look disgraced.
"Answer the question honestly, okay? I don't want to play such childish games with you anymore." Xiang Nan then pressed her Shenmen point and said unhappily, "If you don't cooperate, I can only read it by myself." Take your memory. When the time comes, your mind will be messed up and you will become an idiot. I hope you won’t regret it.”
Angelica's Shenmen point was pressed, her whole body was sore and numb, and she couldn't use any strength.
Seeing how powerful Xiang Nan is, he is no match for him. Unable to fight and fight, unable to escape, Angelica really didn't want to become an idiot, so she could only surrender temporarily.
"No, no matter what you ask me, I will tell you the truth."
…
"Just cooperate." Xiang Nan nodded, "Where did this diamond come from?"
"You guessed it right, it was stolen from the East India Company." Angelica explained.
"How did you steal it?" Xiang Nan asked curiously.
"I used a fake identity to work as a cook in the East India Company. After I figured out the rules of night patrol in the warehouse, I got the guard drunk and sneaked into the warehouse to steal it." Angelica explained.
While she was narrating, Xiang Nan had already used Legilimency to monitor her thoughts.
It turned out that what she said was indeed true. There was really a large warehouse in the East India Company, which contained magical items collected by the company from all over the world.
This diamond is just one of them.
