Fool's Gold Novels & Stories

I swear I didn't take anything! I snatched my watch from his grasp and pointed to the bling. "Each one of these diamonds is worth 10 million bucks, Henry. You're in deep trouble." In the chaos of his panic, Henry blurted out something stupid in front of Rowena. "Ms. Smith, I'm begging you. Please help me. Jayden and Clara were an item for four years. They're still not over each other. "He's all wrong for you. If you choose me, I'll be loyal, I promise!"

“Yes. That was me. And that is just your first punishment—for the snake you planted in my group. You thought I wouldn’t find out?” Becky’s face went pale but I could also see relief in her eyes. Shawn didn't know, for now at least. It wouldn't be long before Shawn knew the value in that company. Shawn kept going. “You know, George… You are the biggest fool I have ever met. You had something valuable—gold but you couldn’t tell the difference between that and wood. Now, you have lost the gold. And it is too late.” He laughed mockingly. I stared at him, trying to read through his cryptic words.

'Maisie, what you're doing is defamation. She fired back without a shred of guilt. 'And how is this defamation? I heard you say it on the phone with my own ears! Do you dare swear to the heavens that you never said those words?!' I let out a cold laugh and threw her own words from my previous life right back at her. 'How can you slander me like this? I clearly said "jogging buddy" and "jogging meetup." I just have bad pronunciation, that's all. Why are you so determined to wrong me?'

"Let's make this easy. Walk out, put your hands up, and I won't have to pin your foot to the ground." "Why are you doing this?" I yelled back. My voice cracked. "You're hunting a person like an animal! Does the gold really mean that much?" I heard him chuckle. It was a dry, hollow sound. "Gold is food. Gold is a roof. In this world, Princess, gold is the only thing that doesn't lie to you. Now, come out." "No," I said. "Fine. Have it your way." I dove into the muck just as another arrow whistled through the space where my head had been. I crawled through the slime, the cold water soaking into my clothes. I needed to get to the reeds. If I could reach the tall grass, I could disappear.

I watched his face twist with jealousy and thought about it carefully. He was running too fast. He was off-balance. So I shifted half a step to the side and quietly stuck out my right foot. Lucas tripped hard. He flew forward and hit the steps face-first. Two of his front teeth broke on impact. Claire rushed over and pulled me behind her. Seeing that it was over, Ms. Turner suddenly crawled toward Claire on her hands and knees. “Ms. Harrison, I made a mistake! “I was only thinking about the school’s reputation!”

However, it was at this moment he knew…10 million spirit crystals were only able to get a piece of purple gold the size of a fist. Rudy suddenly felt like he was poor again. He shook his head, cursing himself for being greedy. After Fane kept the purple gold, he burned the two corpses and looked to the distance. It was a complete wasteland, and there was not even wild grass around them. There was a sinister aura everywhere as if cruel things had happened in the land.

Compared to this, the other emeralds that he got were not even worth mentioning. Simultaneously, the happenings on the ground floor had immediately spread via word of mouth to the other floors of the Golden Tower. It was said that someone had bought dozens of ores, and every single ore was in the green, and the guy had gotten almost a billion from it! The rumor exploded almost instantly, and countless people rushed to the ground floor from the areas they were in, and soon it was packed like sardines, everyone pushing and fighting their way in to inquire whether it was real or not.

Fallon sounded as if he were chewing gravel. “Prismatic silver is not an easy currency to convert, let alone explain,” she said tersely.

He could feel the odd bit of jewelry or coin back and forth in people's pockets or on their persons, but there really wasn't much at all. That's when he felt it. It was at the edge of his perception, but it was there. It was far away, but it was massive. It was a pile of gold so large, it rivaled even Drousin's hoard. Unlike Ale's coins, it wasn't strong or brimming with energy. He could feel all that gold just laying there cold a lifeless waiting for...
