save the bachelors

Chapter 4487 [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 said with a smile, taking out a handful of gold coins, silver coins, and gems from his purse, "You have seen my capital, now can you tell me what big deal you want to discuss?"

"Oh my god." Seeing Xiang Nan casually take out so much money, there were several gems, each as big as a pigeon egg, each worth at least four or five thousand pounds, Angelica couldn't help but exclaimed.

Then she took out from her arms a diamond the size of an egg, which was crystal clear, flawless and dazzling.

"It's a diamond." Xiang Nan nodded, but he was not very excited.

Because diamonds are just crystals of carbon, they are not very valuable in themselves. Nowadays, they can be industrially mass-produced, with the largest diamonds reaching more than 300 carats.

The diamond in front of us is only about 200 carats. It was indeed extremely precious in the 18th century, but it is not so amazing in modern society.

"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 willing to pay for it?"

"Our store only purchases rare items. Although this diamond is indeed very large, it does not meet our requirements." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said.

He had heard of the Mountain of Light, which was said to be one of the largest diamonds in the world and was later set in the Queen of England's crown.

But even so, it was of no use to him. He had neither money nor gems. In his purse there were countless gems the size of pigeon eggs.

"It's a little strange. Put it between your eyebrows and listen carefully. You can vaguely hear a sound." Angelica said quickly.

"Hear the sound?" Xiang Nan was stunned and stretched out his hand. "Can you let me try it? If I can really hear the sound, I will definitely buy it at a high price."

"Okay, but don't try to rob me." Angelica hesitated and handed over the diamond, but then threatened, "Although I am alone, I am not a vegetarian."

"I can see that." Xiang Nan nodded. An ordinary person would not be wanted worldwide by the East India Company.

This diamond was most likely stolen by her from the East India Company. Since its establishment, the East India Company has been bullying others. How could anyone take advantage of them?
Even the famous Captain Jack Sparrow was wary of the East India Company.

……

Then Xiang Nan took the gem and placed it between his eyebrows, but there was nothing unusual about it.

"Where can I hear the sound?" He frowned unhappily.

"There really is a sound, but you need to face the sun," Angelica quickly added.

Seeing this, Xiang Nan stood up and walked to the window, letting the scorching sun shine on his body.

At this moment, a beam of sunlight happened to hit the diamond, and after being refracted by the diamond, it hit Xiang Nan's forehead, and a voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

Xiang Nan listened carefully and found that it was ancient Sanskrit, but it was very vague and he could not hear it clearly with his hearing ability.

"Well, you heard the sound, right? Now we can talk about its price, right?" Angelica said at this time.

"Okay." Xiang Nan nodded, "How much do you want?"

"At least 100,000 gold coins." Angelica said immediately.

"One hundred thousand gold coins?!" Xiang Nan was stunned and laughed, "You dare to ask."

At that time, it only cost 4,000 to 5,000 gold coins to buy a three-masted warship. One hundred thousand gold coins could build a fleet. You should know that King George III of England only spent 25,000 pounds to build Buckingham Palace.

"But I can agree to your price, on the condition that you need to answer a question for me." Xiang Nan said.

"What's the problem?" Angelica asked quickly. "You stole this diamond from the East India Company, right?" Xiang Nan asked.

When Angelica heard this, she immediately drew the Triton sword from her waist and stabbed towards Xiang Nan without saying a word.

Xiang Nan did not dodge or evade. He just pinched the Sword of Triton with two fingers and held it tightly.

Angelica used all her strength, but the sword could not move at all. She could not stab or pull out.

Angelica was shocked and immediately dropped the sword in her hand and turned to run out.

Seeing this, Xiang Nan stretched out his hand and froze her in place.

"Don't worry, I don't want to report you to the East India Company, nor do I want to send you away in exchange for a bounty." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said, "I just want to know how you got this diamond."

"Let me go first, or you'll never let me tell you anything." Angelica said angrily.

When Xiang Nan heard her say this, he waved his hand and Angelica immediately resumed action.

Then she pulled out a dagger from her boots and stabbed Xiang Nan with lightning speed.

But when the tip of the knife was just three feet in front of Xiang Nan, it could no longer pierce forward, as if blocked by an invisible wall of air.

"How is this possible?" Angelica was shocked.

"You are really cunning and disobedient~" Xiang Nan sighed and shot out with a flick of his finger.

There was a crisp sound, and the dagger in Angelica's hand broke into two pieces.

This strange sight once again shocked Angelica. But she did not give up. With a shake of her hand, a cloud of lime powder instantly sprinkled towards Xiang Nan.

Xiang Nan saw this and blew a breath. In an instant, the lime powder that was sprinkled on him was blown towards Angelica, immediately making her face covered in dust.

"Answer the questions honestly, please. I don't want to play this childish game with you anymore." Xiang Nan then pressed her Shenmen acupoint and said unhappily, "If you don't cooperate, I can only read your memory myself. By then, your brain will be messed up, and you will become an idiot. I hope you don't regret it."

Angelica's Shenmen acupoint was pressed, and her whole body suddenly felt numb and she couldn't use any strength at all.

Seeing that Xiang Nan was so powerful, she knew she was no match for him. She couldn't beat him, and couldn't escape. Angelica didn't want to become an idiot, so she could only give in temporarily.

"No, I'll tell you the truth no matter what you ask me."

……

"Just cooperate." Xiang Nan nodded, "Where did this diamond come from?"

"You guessed right, it was stolen from the East India Company," Angelica explained.

"How did you steal it?" Xiang Nan asked curiously again.

"I worked as a cook in the East India Company under a forged identity. After figuring out the pattern of the night patrols 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 telepathy to monitor her thoughts.

It turned out that what she said was true. There was indeed a large warehouse in the East India Company, which stored magical items that the company collected from all over the world.

This diamond is just one of them.
