Invisible Security Guard-Chapter 2273 - 2292: The Great Swindler

"Being invincible is truly lonely, so lonely." Dominic Ruiz sat on the giant’s shoulder, sighing loudly. His trillion-dollar bid dropped jaws everywhere and directly extinguished Yusuf Zuck’s fire.

Even Lord Guo was at a loss, wondering, "Where did he get those Sin Stones from? How could there be so many?"

Countless people were curious about where this Dominic Ruiz, claiming to be a descendant of the Ruiz Clan, had emerged from and how he had become so wealthy, wondering about his cultivation level!

A trillion!

Simon was stunned, unable to comprehend how much a trillion would even mean, because it was simply too much.

Dominic Ruiz didn’t default on his payment and tossed out a ring. Simon took one glance and gasped because inside the ring were countless Sin Stones—truly so many that they dazzled his eyes.

The Bloodstone was also obtained by Dominic Ruiz, who hung it around his neck.

"Let’s go, rather than bidding here, it might be better to check the street stalls—we might even find treasures there. Any good items here will just be snatched by Dominic Ruiz!" Yusuf Zuck said as he got up to leave.

No one stopped them, and Lord Guo didn’t greet anyone; he turned and left!

"Hey, don’t leave, stay and play a while longer. There might be more good stuff later—I promise I won’t compete with you anymore, okay?" Dominic Ruiz said in passing, inviting Yusuf Zuck to stay.

"Thank you, but no." Yusuf Zuck thanked him and continued walking out of the auction estate.

As they exited the estate, Yusuf Zuck was taken aback because Ayden Acme was squatting outside, obviously having been there for quite some time but unable to enter.

"You’re back?" Yusuf Zuck sized up Ayden Acme and said, "You’ve been out for twenty days, chasing chicas?"

"Chasing chicas my ass, I was just out for a stroll. Why are you out here?" Ayden Acme didn’t explain what he was doing for those twenty days but instead questioned Yusuf Zuck about why he had come out.

"There’s this guy claiming to be from the Ruiz Clan inside, dropping bids worth trillions, which made me lose motivation—felt a bit lousy, so I left."

"Ruiz Clan?" Ayden Acme took a deep breath, "I know about this lineage."

"You do?" Yusuf Zuck asked, surprised.

"They’re not actually descendants of the Ruiz Clan but of an adopted son of the original clan leader. Back then, the patriarch took in an adopted son and granted him the Ruiz surname. That’s how the Ruiz lineage came to be, but they’ve always lived in other realms—not in the realm of Patrick Ruiz!"

"Do you know where they are?" Yusuf Zuck was intensely curious. Ayden Acme seemed to know everything!

"I have a general idea but can’t be sure. By the way, the Ruiz Clan possesses a magic treasure called the ’Brush of God.’ It is rumored to create whatever it paints. So the trillions in Sin Stones—you just mentioned—aren’t surprising, since they can draw it!"

"Of course, while painted objects appear real on the surface, they’re just hollow. After a while, they dissipate like smoke!"

"But the Brush of God is not limited to this feature; creating painted objects is just one minor function among many others."

"Uh..." Yusuf Zuck opened his mouth wide. Damn, the Sin Stones are painted—that was a total scam for the Simon Family. Dominic Ruiz was being overly bold.

But his boldness came from his identity, being a descendant of Patrick Ruiz. So what if he had money? Having money is perfectly normal!

As for deception? As a descendant of Patrick Ruiz, how could he possibly deceive anyone?

Thus, the Simon Family believed it, and so did everyone present, including Yusuf Zuck, trusting that Dominic Ruiz was indeed wealthy—so rich that he’d never run out!

But in truth? Damn, it was all fake!

"Let’s go back!" Yusuf Zuck gritted his teeth and turned back!

"Welcome back, Your Highness, Lord Guo!" The guards at the door greeted Yusuf Zuck and Lord Guo without needing an invitation, bowing with respect.

Even Ayden Acme, who was beside Yusuf Zuck, passed through without being hindered.

"How do you know this? Nobody else knows about the Ruiz Clan’s Brush of God?" Yusuf Zuck asked as they walked.

"Certain secrets may only be known by me. I discovered it when...ahem, no, it was during a chance encounter in an ancient tomb where I found a book recording these matters. So I knew; no one else does!"

"You rob tombs?" Yusuf Zuck asked quizzically.

"What tomb-robbing? I just search for books and scripts like Jade Simples. How could you accuse me of tomb-robbing? I’m a good person!"

"Come on now, pretending to be innocent!" Yusuf Zuck chuckled mischievously.

While conversing, they returned to the auction site. But Yusuf Zuck didn’t proceed forward; he stood under the giant’s feet, looking up at Dominic Ruiz: "Can I come up and have a chat, Mr. Ruiz?"

"Sure, I happen to have some excellent wine here, come up and have a taste!" Dominic Ruiz waved his sleeve and a stone table and two stools appeared. He didn’t prepare for Lord Guo and Ayden Acme because he realized Yusuf Zuck was the important guest.

The giant’s shoulders were exceptionally broad; not only could a stone table fit, but there was room for two Eight Immortals Tables. Yusuf Zuck and Dominic Ruiz sat comfortably!

Yusuf Zuck felt no hesitation, nor did he worry if the wine was poisoned. He lifted the cup and downed it in one go: "Excellent wine!"

"Certainly! You can’t find these grapes in Patrick Ruiz’s realm—only a few Mortal Planets have them. I collected them for ages!" Dominic Ruiz said smugly.

"Alright, Mr. Ruiz, let’s cut to the chase. Give me that Bloodstone!"

"Huh? What do you mean? Trading a trillion for it? Did you quickly gather a trillion?"

"Ha-ha, no, I’ll trade a secret for it!" Yusuf Zuck chuckled mischievously: "I heard there’s a family with a pen named the Brush of God that can draw Sin Stones at will. Want any amount, just draw it!"

"Pfft~" Dominic Ruiz sprayed wine everywhere, eyes wide: "How do you know? Impossible!"

"Ha, never mind how I know; give it to me and I’ll keep your secret. If you don’t, I’ll expose you right now—see how the Simon Family reacts, and whether anyone here spares you—since you’ve fooled everyone!"

"Don’t! Please don’t say anything, fine, take it!" Dominic Ruiz acted sensibly, albeit reluctantly, tossing the Bloodstone to Yusuf Zuck without much ado!

Yusuf Zuck was stunned—this guy was straightforward, a major con artist but still sensible!

"Thanks, the secret will never leak, but if the Simon Family finds you out, don’t blame me!"

"I’ll be gone within ten days. So what if I’m discovered?" Dominic Ruiz chuckled: "You’re Gabriel Freeman, right? I heard people discussing you earlier. You’re quite a character, can you do me a small favor?"

"What small favor?" Yusuf Zuck asked back.

"You possess the Eternal Fire, right? I have an artifact that resists refinement, but the Eternal Fire should work, so would you assist in refining it? Otherwise, giving you the Bloodstone for free isn’t fair. Right? Let’s be fair and make friends!"
