"What do you think the boss needs so many Philosopher's Stones for?"
The man asked his colleague beside him with a hint of greed and confusion.
He was well aware of how many Philosopher's Stones were hidden in the factory behind them—it was practically a treasure trove that could drive anyone mad. Every time he thought about it, his blood boiled, wanting to devour them all. But at the thought of the boss's cruelty, the excitement instantly turned icy cold.
Another man stood on the other side; the two of them were the night sentries, guarding the gate, vigilantly watching for anyone's approach.
"Who knows? Isn't this stuff really valuable? Maybe it's for money?" The other person said uncertainly.
"Money?"
The mention of money brought a sneer to the man's face, which quickly turned to pain.
"It's because of money that I sold my soul, and I ended up losing everything, left with nothing." He whispered.
