"It's that expensive?!" Everyone hissed. Gold had standard pricing, but jade did not. Of all the jades, other than those that were no longer found, imperial greens were the most expensive!However, royal purple was not much cheaper.During ancient times, purple signified the color of royalty. It was a symbol of majesty and prosperity. Royalty even wore purple clothes. So, the royal purple jade's pricing was still high!Other than that, the piece of jade in front of them was quite large. No one ever found such a large royal purple jade before, so Raphael could not estimate the price of the jade!"Hey, are you selling this?""I'll offer a hundred million!""I'll offer you a hundred and fifteen million!"At that moment, all of the people there immediately reacted. Two middle-aged men hurriedly offered a price to buy that incredibly rare piece of jade.As for the others, they were not rich enough to afford it, so they merely looked at the bidding war in disappointment."Sir, if
"Sir, my name's Raphael Westwood. I'm in charge of this shop! You have a good eye for jade, I'm quite impressed! This is my card. If you don't mind, I'd like to be your friend."Raphael quickly pushed back his disappointment as he handed his name card to Leon.His purpose for rushing over this time was to get to know Leon.Leon chose two jadestones on that day. The first one yielded a top-quality, Four-Colored Jade. The other one was a royal purple, which was even more rare!Leon's eyes were practically unmatched. He was even more intent on becoming Leon's friend!"Yes, alright. This is my card," Leon nodded.He had a decent impression of Raphael, so he did not reject getting to know the man. After that, he produced his card from his pocket and exchanged contacts with Raphael."Mister Wolf, you have such a good eye. Could you help me see if there are any more top-quality jades around here?" Raphael said as he pointed at a few of the jadestones on display, wanting to ask Leon for
"That-"Raphael was stunned at the scene.He just wanted to test Leon's skills to see if Leon could pick out another top-quality jade.He never expected the bidding war that would occur. Everyone seemed to think it was a golden opportunity.That was not the most important point. The most important thing was that their shop was a business. He already knew that this jadestone could have a top-quality jade inside. If he refused to sell it, it would end up ruining his shop's reputation!"Are those people crazy?"Leon was dumbfounded.Raphael and he just had a casual conversation. He did not expect the crowd spectating them to take the opportunity to start a bidding war.It exceeded his expectations!"It's fine, just let them bid for it," Raphael did not seem to care.After all, the jade stones in that area were meant to be sold anyway. Whether it was a top-quality jade or not, he would not damage the reputation of his store just for something so small."I'll offer two million
The moment Willie made a move, everyone immediately fell silent.They were already planning on giving up anyway. On top of that, Willie's background meant that they could not afford to offend Willie by bidding against him."If no one's going to offer up another bid, then the jadestone is mine!" Willie's cold gaze swept past everyone. He could not stop the satisfied smile from appearing on his face.However, as he was smiling, Leon's calm voice was suddenly heard."I'm bidding four million dollars!" Leon said.Earlier, Willie interfered while he was buying the red jadestone, causing him to spend a lot more than he would have. Leon still did not forget it!Now, Willie was trying to take something else away from another person. It was just too shameless. Leon could not just stand there and watch!He was always someone who made sure to take his revenge anyway!Since Willie was trying to take advantage of the situation, he would not let Willie get what he wanted!"Brat, are you doi
"No, it might not just be a clear one!""Everyone, look. The crack on the stone looks so green!""Could it be an imperial green?!" One of the customers suddenly asked.Boom!The moment the man said that, everyone was shocked. All of them looked toward the crack in the stone!"Imperial green!""Yes, that level of green could very well mean that this is an imperial green!"Everyone was shocked. The crowd was in an uproar.Back then, the jadestone might be green, but there were many duds among those that were so green. So, no one paid particular attention to that jadestone.However, the situation was different this time. Leon already clearly steed that the jadestone was a top-quality jade!With Leon's abilities, that was true!Since the green jadestone was not going to be a dud, then it meant that the price was going to be incredibly substantial!Normally, if a top-quality jade was completely green, then it would probably be the most valuable one of its class. It could very
"I'll offer sixteen million!""I'm bidding eighteen million!""Twenty-one million!"A few merchants made their move, and the price immediately rose to 21 million. "Despicable! How could this happen?!"Seeing what happened, Willie's face soured.He did not know much about jades. After listening to a few of the more experienced people, he realized that the green jadestone could very well be an expensive imperial green!He planned on retreating and giving up on the bidding, but he already lost out on a royal purple. There was no way he would let an imperial green fall into someone else's hands!"I'll bid twenty-three million!" Willie placed his bid again, raising it by two million and hoping that he would be able to force the others to retreat."That-"Everyone was immediately silent.Most of them were just part of richer families, but they were nowhere near the level of the Libertons and Willie.With the price at twenty-three million, it was just too expensive. It was alread
"This is great! I finally managed to win it!"Looking at Leon and the merchants giving up, Willie looked incredibly relieved."Brat, weren't you acting like you had a lot of money just now? Why didn't you continue bidding?" Willie said with a mocking smile. He looked at Leon with complete disdain, as if he stood head and shoulders above Leon.When he fought over the red jadestone with Leon earlier, he lost to Leon because he was not confident enough.He held on to that fact the whole time, feeling very displeased.At that moment, he finally beat Leon and got the green jadestone like he wanted. He felt incredibly satisfied!"Yes, I lost! I'm not an idiot like you. What if you don't get something amazing after spending so much? Wouldn't you just be stupid?!" Leon mocked.He knew very well that the price the jadestone was going for was just too high. Unless Willie was able to open something amazing like a royal purple or imperial green, Willie would have lost money!Of course, he
"Haha, I knew this would be an imperial green! It is one!" Willie started to laugh excitedly.As the employees cut down, the quality of the jadeite was vaguely seen. It was an ice-clear jade!On top of that, it was completely green. If there were no surprises, it was at least an ice-clear imperial green!However, the jadestone was not properly cut and refined yet, so no one knew if it was an ice-clear or clear-type jadeite."Could this be an imperial green?"Leon was completely shocked.He thought that imperial greens were incredibly rare. Even if it was an ice-clear imperial green, it would not appear so easily!Yet, Willie seemed to be lucky enough to get an imperial green!"Of course! Brat, weren't you so sure that I wouldn't be able to get something amazing? Open your eyes and look at what this is! This is honest to god imperial green. It could even be a clear imperial green!" Willie started to laugh. He looked incredibly pleased with himself!He was already starting to ho
