The middle aged man was taken aback and frowned.

"May i ask, who you're? And why are you asking this question? The content of this box is exclusive."

The elderly man secretly scanned Reed. And the more the elderly man looked at him, the more he seemed even more curious and cautious of Reed.

Reed smiled slightly, "You sure have a lot of questions. Who I'm, doesn't matter, but what you've in that briefcase of yours would certainly put everyone in severe danger if it isn't attended to in time.?

"And if I'm not mistaken, there should be at least two of those piece of artifact in there! The phenomenal we are witnessing at the moment was naturally caused by this two things colliding together." Reed analyzed the cause, fact and the risk of harbouring such artifact, giving the middle aged man a juggle of fright and doubt.

And for some reason, the middle aged man was partially convinced by these claims, and was caught between the dilemma of choice.

Reed perceptions was strong and quickly saw through the Middle aged man trains of doubtful thought and couldn't help but spoke up again," If I'm not mistaken, the treasure in your possession is called the Shard of Termunda. To ordinary people it's referred to as a treasure that could fetch and elevate ones status, but what they do not tend to know is that; As it may harbor good luck, it can also inflict one with bad luck! "

" But to those who had venture through the path of cultivation. it's considered a dangerous weapon that could enhance their combat skills."

"It origin is said to be dated back to thousands of years and was considered one of the great weapon because it not only has the system to manipulate the weather but also could draw powers from the heavens.."

" Bringing the fact that, it's these closer to the heavens, it's said to now be in it full capacity and may cause a great calamity, can you bare the responsibility?" Reed suddenly stared intently at the middle aged man who suddenly shuddered in fright.

"I..! I wasn't aware of this fact. I really have no idea it was this dangerous. if it wasn't for my granddaughter sake I wouldn't have obtained such dangerous thing and I only just got it from an auction house in Berlin. Young friend what do we do now?"

The plane suddenly swayed more recklessly in the process.

The middle aged man accidentally loosen his grip on the briefcase.

But just as it was about to hit the floor it was caught by Reed.

Everyone was struggling for their lives, yet here was Reed casually flipping off the safety of the briefcase.

The moment he opened the lid, the clouds above became much more dense and chaotic.

Within the briefcase were two crafted prism pentagonal crystalized artifact, crafted with a typical symbolic imagery with patterns. And for some unknown reason, it suddenly emitted great lights that was very glary and blinding.

When everyone saw this, they were all terrified and stunned.

Reed didn't waste anymore time and took out both artifact which had been magnetized.

The strangest thing was that! He did not have a physical contact with the artifact but controlled it with his mind.

The artifact levitated and was suspended in midair.

The scene of it shocked everyone including money god.

Even the Beauty who had been watching closely all the while was momentarily shocked by what she saw, " Is this really humanly possible, are there such existence among humanity!"

Everyone within the chaos couldn't help but take cold breath.

The elderly man was no exception, he found this thing unbelievable and his mind race wildly.

Could it be a gravity default or was it just a figment of imagination, if not how else could science explain this.

Reed stood before the chaotic artifact and began to chant some strange words, his whole being gradually undergo a drastic change.

He suddenly called out in a daze, "Be Silent..?"

Boom..

His voice although wasn't spoken loudly, carried a tremendous power that instantly suppressed the heavens and earth.

It echoed throughout the plane like a Budda bell and as chaotic and turbulent as the atmosphere was, it reached and silent the heavens.

At this moment, a cold breeze blew through out the plane..

Even the pilots in the space felt the overbearing coldness that comes with it.

Everything else became extremely quiet and serene.

The plane stability became firm and the gloomy cloud dispersed in the fermanet.

The sun came forth with it illuminatry light and it was all beautiful to the extreme.

Meanwhile on the plane, Reed casually waved his hands and the Two ethereal artifact, quickly arrived into his possession.

The middle aged man, seeing the reality of things, quickly unbuckled and knelt down to thank him but was quickly pulled up by Reed,"What're you doing, get up old man!"

"If it weren't for your timely intervention. Everyone might have had their life's lost due to my recklessness and ignorance."

"May I ask your name, Sir?" The middle aged man understood one thing, and that was , Reed was no ordinary person. If he could get to know such figure, it would be very helpful to his family.

The ability and skills Reed had just displayed was extremely profound beyond the realms of humanity. Even as a man who had traveled the world. he had to admit he had never seen such phenomenal occurrence, moreover coupled with the mystic aura radiating from Reed's being, which was of great majestyand god-like.

It was certain Reed's background was terrifying.

He was still reminiscing on this when Reed suddenly asked," May I ask, why you went to such length to obtain the shard of Tamunda to cure your granddaughter?"

The elderly man hearing this, felt a layer of his skin being thorned open, as he explained bitterly, "Some few days ago she had a serious illness and fell into coma.. After alot of series of check-up, the doctors couldn't find the causes of it, so I finally got a traditional specialist in alchemy. I'm sure you could guess the rest?"

"Hmm.. Although I don't know what sort of illness will require you getting such dangerous artifact to cure illness, I'm certain this wasn't all there was. Nevertheless you should be careful of what you keep in your possession. Especially something you don't know it origin." Reed lectured the middle aged man and kept his gaze inadvertend.

The middle aged man hearing this, felt like a child being scolded and couldn't meet Reed's gaze any longer.

"You said your granddaughter happens to be in a coma state?"

The elderly man quickly raised his head, looking expectantly at Reed,"Yes, yes young Master..!"

"Okay I have something to do first, but when I'm free I'll reach out to you. But this thing, I might have to keep it! What do you say?" Reed casually added holding up the artifact in reference.

"Of course, you can! This thing.. I'm afraid I can't keep. "

The elderly man was clearly taken aback, and was very excited at the realization of the underlying word of Reed, he frantically rushed to hold Reed's hand, saying,"Sir, do you also know medicine?"

Reed smiled and said assuredly, "I might not know much, but with my skill, I could definitely make a difference."

The elderly man was once more taken aback and felt Reed to be unreadable.

But right now he wasn't thinking too much about it, he felt he had met Reed by fate and believe he was unfathomable to see through.

"Thank you, thank you sir, you're the savior of my family, and I'll always hold you in high regard."

His eyes was not only heavy with tears but was filled with true gratitude.
