The Modern Immortal

Saving a little girl

After Daemon left the school he got a call from Jin Cheng, to go with him somewhere. Without any other choice, he could only go stand by the side of the road.

Then he  quietly stood there and gazed towards the road.At that moment, a girl only about five or six years old ran towards the center of the road, while a truck was driving towards her.

Judging from the speed of the truck, even if the driver braked, it wasn’t going to be in time. The truck was moving too fast for it to stop suddenly.

“Damn…”

Daemon didn’t have any time to think and ran towards the girl at the center of the road. Without paying any attention to the truck, he just grabbed the girl and covered her in his embrace.

Dong!......screeeeeech…..

The truck collided with Daemon’s back, sending him flying for five or six meters, while he held the girl tightly in his arms. He was rolled four to five times before he stopped.

Crack.

Daemon did not have the time to consider the pain on his back, he merely squatted at the center of the road and put the girl down in front of him. Despite being stronger than normal human, he still felt some pain in his back, afterall he is not invincible yet.

“Are you alright?”

Daemon touched the girl’s head. The girl blinked and looked at him several times, before revealing an expression of surprise and joy, then leaped into his arms while muttering.

“Daddy!”

Daemon’s act of saving the child attracted the attention of a large number of folks for an audience. The truck driver also frantically jumped down from the vehicle.

However, when he saw that Daemon was completely unharmed, he stood there, unsure of what to say, it was as if he saw a ghost.

He had been sent flying for five or six meters, yet he was completely fine.

Was this person superhuman!

Daemon was also confused, what did this girl call him just now?

Daddy!

The little girl snuggled into his arms tightly. At this moment, a woman with a frantic expression also ran over from the shopping mall on the other side of the road.

“Lily…”

Hearing the woman’s call, the little girl in Daemon’s arms jumped off him and ran towards the woman.

“Mommy!”

“Lily, you scared mommy to death.”

The woman squatted in front of Lily and continuously checked her all over in fear of anything happening to her.

When Daemon saw the woman’s face, he was completely astounded for a moment.

The woman in front of him was extremely beautiful, so much that Jin Ning'er could not compare to her. Most importantly, there was an allure to her that only mature women would have. There was incomparable sexiness in her even just normal gestures.

Daemon couldn’t help but think, if anyone marries this woman…

Then the man would be interested in something else if he doesn’t let her squeeze him dry!

After repeatedly ensuring that Lily was unhurt, the woman stood up and walked towards Daemon.

“Thank you so much for saving Lily. This is my card, I wonder what I should call you?”

Daemon received her name card.

Valentine Jewelers and Cosmetics, Rose Valentine.

“Daemon,” Daemon shrugged and said as he played with the name card in his hand. “I’m just a poor student, so I don’t have anything like a name card to give you.”

“Daddy.”

Lily leaped into Daemon’s arms once more and hugged him tightly and snuggled in his arms.

All of a sudden, Daemon and Rose Valentine both revealed a hint of awkwardness.

“Lily, don’t call people so indiscriminately.”

Rose Valentine pulled Lily back to her side and took out a card to hand to Daemon.

“Although this is a bit distasteful, I really am unsure of how to repay you. There is a hundred thousand in this card, just treat it as…”

Before Rose Valentine finished, Daemon had already pushed the card back.

“I don’t need the card, it seems like you should be Lily’s mother. What I want to say is that don’t let Lily cross the streets by herself again, although she’s still young, it’s too dangerous. I saved her since I saw her, she might not be so lucky next time.”

Daemon pinched Lily’s cheeks a little, then patted away the dust on his clothes, before turning and leaving.

“Mommy, Why is Daddy leaving.”

Lily’s face frowned, as she pointed her delicate little hand towards Daemon’s figure.

Rose Valentine pulled the little girl’s hand down and shook her head.

“That isn’t Daddy, you can’t just call anyone that, okay? If you see him in the future, you have to say Big Brother.”

At that moment, Daemon’s phone rang.

“Brother Daemon, location.”

As soon as Daemon told Jin Cheng his location, the other person immediately hung up. Then, not even three minutes later, a fiery Blue Sportscar appeared in front of him.

Jin Cheng pushed open the door and waved his hand towards Daemon.

“Big Brother Get in, we are getting late.”

Daemon was wondering why Jin Cheng called him, then he found out that this guy was invited to a Ore Auction. He thought that he would be bored there, so he decided to bring Daemon to experience it.

“Are you interested in testing your luck?”

Daemon shook his head as he looked at the piles of ores in the trading hall.

“You better not touch these rocks. Even if you want to bet, tell me, only buy when I tell you to.”

“You know about stone gambling?”

Jin Cheng was shocked.

“Kind of.”

Daemon nodded without denying it.

Although most of these rocks looked pretty good, he, who had the God eyes Bloodline, could tell whether jade would come out of it with a glance.

Stone gambling was essentially a slice of heaven and a slice of hell all in one place.

However, judging from the appearance alone, most of the people buying things would go to hell in this convention.

Within the huge ore convention, there was suddenly an ore that someone was willing to pay over twenty million for.

Jin Cheng was instantly interested, and pulled Daemon through the crowd.

“Miss Rose, your company should really need this ore, right?”

“Heh, there is no need for Director Bai to worry about whether I need this ore.

Rose Valentine, whom Daemon had just met a short time before, was one of the ones bidding. As a jewelry shop owner, she naturally would not miss out on the bidding of ores.

Most importantly, her jewelry shop was being viciously attacked. In order to help the jewelry shop stand back on its feet, she needed a piece of ore that had a lot of jade in it in order to make up for everything.

“Elder Lee, are you sure that this stone can give me a lot of jade?”

Rose Valentine looked at the elder beside her. This elder was their jewelry shop’s consultant and was an expert with a reputation within the circle of stone gambling.

“Is Director Rose not confident with my choice? This stone will definitely give out jade.”

The elder replied impatiently, while his shameless reaction caused Rose Valentine to frown.

Although this elder was an expert, he wasn’t helping her out for free, she was paying him a hundred something thousand per month.

They were employer and employee, since the elder was working while receiving payment, his attitude caused Rose Valentine to be very unhappy.

However, there was no helping it, she could only restrain herself with her jewelry shop company’s current situation.

“This ore requires a lot of money, I can’t help but to be more careful,” Rose Valentine replied with a light smile, then spoke up once again. “Twenty-two million.”

“Brother Daemon, do you think that ore will give out jade?”

Jin Cheng looked over at the extremely large ore. This ore looked very clear and its patterns were clear. From the outside, you could see the faint green moss within.

This rock would definitely give out jade without any surprise. Furthermore, its quality would also be very high.

“No.”

Daemon shook his head, although this rock looked like jade would come out of it, it was only in appearance.

“Are you sure?”

“Don’t be fooled by its appearance, the more it looks like it can give out jade, the less it actually would. In the end, you’ll lose everything.”

“Twenty-five million!”

The bids for that ore increased gradually, so Rose Valentine could only call out again with a clench of her teeth.

“Thirty million.”

At the very moment this astronomical value appeared, everyone present sucked in a breath of cold air, whether they were stone gamblers or owners of jewelry stores.

Daemon was also attracted by this slightly-oppressive price calling. However, when he saw the person, he instantly went into shock.

“Why was she here?”

From Rose Valentine’s appearance, she was determined to get this rock.

However, thinking about the truth about this rock, Daemon hesitated a bit, then decided to tell Rose Valentine the truth.

It was her problem whether she believed him or not.
