Chapter 85

The crowd was shocked as they began to respond to Austin's questions.

"It means your stone is useless!"

"It's a fabricated stone!"

"Dude! You have a fake stone! I thought you said it was an inheritance from your great-grandfather?"

The crowd burst into laughter as someone asked the question.

This made Austin feel stupid and embarrassed for lying about his ancestors.

But he quickly embraced it to avoid looking like a coward. "Yes, it is! This stone has been in our possession for more than 100 years! It's genuine."

"Wow!" The crowd was stunned by the information. But Elysian was sure of his verification.

Aside from his earlier observation, he noticed the stone also appeared dull. A genuine black opal has a vibrant and three-dimensional color play.

To clarify further, Elysian said, "Let's give it another strike to find out."

He struck the hammer against it, but nothing changed. He gave it one more strike, but the stone remained hard and unscathed.
