"This tiny thing costs 3 million? That's so expensive! Leon, why are you buying this?" Iris blurted out asking.Leon established Wolf Enterprises that took over countless properties that once belonged to the Lowes and the Fields; along with the profit he made with Cynthion Group and Elegante Group, Leon was filthy rich, but Iris was concerned that he was overspending after seeing how much he spent on the Snow Lotus back in Seacove City.As his girlfriend, she felt the need to stop him."It's fine. I need them for something," Leon said casually.Apart from the core of the Energy Convergence Circle, he could use ordinary jadeites. However, he had more than enough money and figured that using jadeites of better quality would be most ideal."Oh, okay, then." Seeing how determined Leon was, Iris did not say anything else as 3 million dollars was hardly a big amount."Leon, I should pay instead!" Penny said, before handing the saleswoman a card."It's fine, Penny, I can pay myself," L
"What?! Eighteen?" Andy's jaw dropped.Even Iris and Penny were shocked as none of them expected Leon to purchase such a big amount of jadeites."Yeah!" Leon nodded.He needed eighteen pieces of jadeites and another one for the core, but since he carried the core of the Energy Convergence Circle with him all the time, he did not need to purchase an extra piece for it."But," Andy paled and was at a loss for his words.Though the Vernells had a total asset of billions, most of them were under the family's name in the form of properties and funds. Since Andy was only the second son and not the heir, he might be able to spend 3 million casually, but could hardly afford to pay over 50 million on jadeites.Penny, who worked for her family's firm and did not possess her own company like Cynthia and Iris, had a limit of 14 million on her card and could not possibly make such a big purchase at once."Why are you still standing here, Miss? Bring over eighteen pieces of this jadeite!" Leo
"Leon, you're so rich," Penny was shocked when she saw how Leon spent over 50 million without batting an eyelash.Naturally, she was unaware that Leon accomplished everything with his hard work and could not be compared with people born wealthy like Penny or Andy."I'm sufficient." Leon smiled modestly and placed the jadeites into his bag."Leon, since you're done, let's go home!" Iris said."Sure," he nodded and turned to Penny, "let's go, Penny.""You two go on ahead! It's Grandpa's eighteenth birthday in a few days and I want to walk around to buy him a gift," Penny said."It's Grandpa's birthday soon? When?" Iris was shocked"Five days from now," Penny said."Oh, Leon and I should prepare a gift as well, then." Iris smiled.Leon turned to the saleswoman. "Miss, is there anything perfect for birthday gifts here? Why don't you give me a few recommendations?""Of course. You can carve the jadeite into a statue, or pick one of our ancient drawings as a gift. Please follow me,
"That's a great idea!" Leon's eyes lit up.He went stone gambling in Springfield City before and knew the tricks to it. With his current power level, it would be easy for him to find a piece of jadeite of high quality. Naturally, he could also purchase the jadeite from other bidders as well."Iris, come on. Let's check out the unpolished jadeite section." Leon said to Iris."Penny, let's go with them! I'm quite experienced in stone gambling so if we gamble on the right stone, we can give it to your grandpa as his birthday gift!" Andy said.Like Leon, he also wanted to give Patrick a jadeite statue, but since they could not possibly pick the same gift, Leon would be forced to change his gift if Andy managed to pick a rock that contained high-quality jadeite before Leon did.Andy was humiliated earlier and wanted to salvage his pride by forcing Leon to choose another gift."Sure." Penny nodded.There were plenty of choices when it came to birthday gifts made with jadeites. Apart f
Leon and the others arrived at the unpolished jadeite area that was packed with over a hundred customers that were participating in rock gambling.There were a few professional jadeite traders amongst them who would offer a small fortune to buy any high-quality jadeite customers managed to find.Leon scowled when he saw the tremendous amount of rocks before him.Though he could detect the energy inside jadeites with his spiritual energy, there were tens of thousands of rocks and he would collapse from exhaustion if he attempted to check each one of them.Thankfully, he looked for jadeite that could be used for a statue, so he only needed to check the bigger ones.His power grew since he first participated in rock gambling, so he was confident that he could find a suitable piece from the pile."Penny, let's go pick a few high-end rocks!" Andy said excitedly.He desperately wanted to find a great piece of jadeite before Leon; not bothering with the low-class and middle-class rocks
"Leon, if you want jadeite of high quality, we should be trying our luck in the high-end area! Why are you dragging me here to the low-end area?" Iris was puzzled by his behavior."The rocks there don't always contain great jadeites and there's a chance the rock here contains what we are looking for. Anyways, since we are trying our luck either way, let's start here," Leon said casually. He could not explain how he detected the energy of the rock with his spiritual energy, so he simply made up an excuse."But," She muttered hesitantly."Come on. Let's go! Maybe we'll get lucky!" Leon smiled, before placing his hand on each of the bigger rocks.There were tens of thousands of rocks and he specifically picked out the ones of bigger sizes to check, or he would run himself thin before he found the one that he was looking for.Meanwhile, Penny and Andy spotted Leon in the area where the lower-class rocks were displayed and were both shocked."Is he crazy or something? If he wants high
"This is the one you want? Are you sure?" Iris studied the rock and Leon's expression in disbelief.The surface of the rock was rugged, rough, and filled with cracks; even an amateur like her could tell that it was merely a rock and Leon would only humiliate himself for picking it."Yeah. I'm sure!" Leon nodded and took Iris's hand, before leaving the low-end area.Meanwhile, Andy already picked three rocks from the high-end area.As one of the descendants of wealthy families, he was rather experienced in rock gambling and he selected three rocks with extremely smooth surfaces with no visible cracks."This young man has a sharp sense!"The professional rock gamblers around him turned to look at Andy with approval.Rock gambling relied heavily on instinct and luck and since Andy had the instinct, he might be able to end up with cream-clear jadeite with some luck."Thank you, everyone! I just know a thing or two!" Andy smirked smugly.Just then, Leon picked up his stone and was
"Clear jadeite? Keep dreaming!" Andy and the other customers burst out laughing."This kid takes this place as a playground, doesn't he?""How dare he says that he's going to get clear jadeites from a rock like that? What a joke!""Yeah! He should consider himself lucky even if he manages to get any jadeite at all. He can't get clear jadeite with that rock!"...The world of rock gambling was complicated and was filled with amateurs who wished to become rich overnight by gambling on rocks at a low cost, so the others naturally assumed that Loen was one of them."Leon, it's not that easy to get clear jadeites! Maybe you should do as Andy did and get a few rocks from the high-end area instead. That way, you'll have a higher chance of getting a piece of high-quality jadeite!" Penny said while the others mocked Leon.She saw how easy it was for Leon to spend over 50 million and knew that Leon was not short of money, so she was clueless as to why Leon would insist on gambling on a low
