The burly man knew that Ezio was mocking him, but in Jared's presence, he didn't dare to retaliate.
He didn't pay attention to Mia's elder brother. Instead, he looked at Jared, pleading desperately, “My friend, I beg you, please take me with you when you leave!”
Jared looked at the burly man and scoffed. “Why should I take you with me? We're neither related nor friends. We don't owe each other anything.”
Upon hearing this, the burly man quickly interjected, “My friend, I also have a sister. I could introduce her to you, so you could become my brother-in-law...”
Jared was at a loss for words.
“Give it a rest, you big bear. There's no way your sister could be pretty. You really think you can compete with me for a brother-in-law?”
Ezio looked at the burly man and taunted him.
The burly man's face was clouded with discomfort as he said with a bitter expression, “Indeed, my sister isn't particularly attractive, but... but I have a secret I can share with you.”
“What secret?” Jared looked toward the burly man.
The burly man glanced at Ezio but remained silent. It seemed like he was afraid of Ezio finding out.
“No worries, go ahead!” said Jared.
“My friend, I know of a spiritual vein mine of celestial crystal. With the current soaring prices of celestial crystals, this particular spiritual vein mine is a massive fortune. To be honest, I was caught because I had an excessive amount of celestial crystals that I was secretly selling to private collectors. If you can get me out of here, I can reveal to you the location of the spiritual vein mine. We can then split the profits equally!” the burly man whispered.
Upon hearing this, Jared was instantly taken aback. If he really knew the location of a spiritual vein mine of celestial crystals, that would indeed be a massive resource.
Compared to slowly acquiring it with purple spirit coins, this was way faster.
However, whether the burly man was telling the truth or not, Jared had no idea.
