Chapter 234: Dragon Ring

Upon hearing Charles's words, Tony exclaimed, "Hey, do you not believe in my strength? My armor has been upgraded a lot recently."

At this moment, Charles opened his browsing history, and his attention was immediately drawn to it. He didn't pay attention to Tony's words.

Looking at his browsing history, Charles directly said, "Tony, I have something to do. We'll talk later."

Without waiting for Tony's response, Charles hung up the phone.

Opening the page, he looked at the sales information.

Dragon Ring: A magical ring with incredible power.

Price: $100,000!

Contact: David, contact number: XXXXXXXX

Looking at the information, Charles carefully examined the style of the ring and the contact number. He recalled the memories in his mind.

Merlin's Dragon Ring, inheriting the legacy of becoming the new supreme Merlin and killing Moana, the one who would destroy the world. Thinking about the apprentice magician movie in his memory, it seemed like every villain was shouting about destroying the world.

But thinking about the nesting doll that imprisoned countless villains and the appearance of two other rings besides the Dragon Ring successfully attracted Charles.

This nesting doll seemed like a seal, each layer sealing a magician, but it was uncertain whether the sealed magician could become a rechargeable energy.

Then there were those few rings. Charles was unsure if the nesting doll could be used as a rechargeable item, but those few rings, Charles was certain, could definitely be used for recharging.

Without any hesitation, Charles picked up his phone and dialed the contact number provided on eBay. The call was quickly answered.

"Hello, I saw that you are selling a dragon-shaped ring on eBay. Is it still available?"

David, who was still lying on the bed and hadn't gotten up, suddenly woke up a lot when he heard this. He had posted this thing that left him a childhood shadow on the internet a long time ago. Although many people left comments, this was the first inquiry call.

"The item is still with me. Are you interested in buying it?"

Hearing that the item was still available, Charles knew that the plot had not started yet. He spoke, "I am very interested in your ring. I can accept the price of $100,000. How about we proceed with the transaction?"

David, who was still a bit confused, instantly became awake. He said with excitement, "100,000 dollars? Are you sure there's no problem?"

"If you are sure about buying, you can come to the New York University College of Arts and Sciences to find me. I'll be heading there later."

Charles looked at the time on the computer, smiled, and said, "No problem, let's meet at New York University. Bring the ring, and I will bring the money. We'll exchange there."

After confirming the ring transaction, Charles hung up the phone, got up, and went to the front desk. He instructed Iruka, "Go to the underground vault and get me $100,000 in cash, pack it in a small backpack. I'll need it later."

"Yes, Lord Charles!"

Watching Iruka leave, Charles took out the key to his Mercedes from the cabinet where he put the car keys, but considering the damaged streets outside, he put it back. The roads were not repaired yet, and he couldn't drive his car.

Soon, Iruka came up with a small backpack and handed it to Charles.

"Lord, there's $100,000 inside!"

"Thanks, Iruka."

With the backpack in hand, Charles was about to leave. At this moment, Iruka suddenly spoke:

"Lord Charles, I suggest you take the back door. There are a lot of media outside, but our people have blocked them from entering."

Upon hearing Iruka's words, Charles stopped his steps and then said, "Your suggestion is good."

After saying that, Charles did not choose to use the main entrance but instead walked out through the back door of the office.

Taking a detour from the back door to the main street, Charles saw many reporters and media personnel crowded around the agency gate. However, his subordinates kept them out.

Charles nodded in satisfaction. Dealing with these matters was indeed better left to his group of High Table Envoys. Glancing at the road that was being repaired, he turned and left.

…

On the other side-

After hanging up the phone, David got up from the bed and went to the living room, taking out a bottle of soda from the refrigerator.

In the living room, the chubby African American, Bennett, threw a pack of snacks to David.

"Happy birthday, David!"

Catching the snacks, David looked at his friend excitedly and said, "Thanks, Bennett."

After that, David, holding the snacks and drinks, made his way to the dining table. Bennett, snacking on some treats, looked at David and remarked, "You woke up pretty early!"

Observing the delicious pizza on the table, David explained, "Professor Heidemann asked me to give a physics introductory class to his university class."

Bennett, surprised, exclaimed, "What?"

"You're teaching advanced physics to liberal arts students?"

David, feeling helpless, responded, "Yeah, I had no other option."

Bennett snapped his fingers and said to David, "Listen, the biology department is planning to have a wild night tonight. We even managed to invite a cheerleader from Princeton!"

Speaking of this, Bennett's expression was full of excitement.

David, opening his soda, replied, "Oh, they are not easy to handle."

"But I also have a good thing to reward myself today. Maybe it's the birthday gift from heaven."

As he spoke, David turned around, took a pair of socks from the sock drawer, and the Dragon Ring thrown into the pile of socks.

Bennett curiously asked, "What good thing?"

At this point, David turned around, placed the dragon-shaped ring on the table, and put on the socks.

Looking at what David put on the table, Bennett was a bit stunned, then stood up in amazement, and then exclaimed loudly, "David, don't tell me that the ring marked by you for $100,000 has been ordered."

"Oh my God, how could someone be so crazy!"

Speaking, Bennett picked up the ring from the table, took a look, then walked over, and gave David a hug.

"David, are you sure that person is not kidding you?"

"100,000 dollars is not a small amount. It's enough for you to buy a Porsche and still have a lot left."

David broke free from Bennett's embrace and took back the ring. Then he said, "I don't know if it's true or not, but the other party said he would come to my college and find me. He would also give me the money there while taking the ring."

At this point, Bennett suggested, "Hey, if it's really sold, why not have a party tonight for your birthday?"
