"I'll be frank with you, Mister Wolf. Your two imperial greens are pure and transparent, which makes them incredibly valuable. Such items are a rarity on the market, so I can't give you an estimate of the specific market price. If you intend to sell it, we are willing to pay nine million for it!" Kai said in a heartbeat.Top-quality jadeite such as imperial greens was very hard to come by, and if their store was able to obtain one, they could turn it into the store's good luck charm!The only fly in the ointment was the small size of that imperial green, and it was cut in half by Leon at the center. If it was whole, it would have been more valuable!"But..." Leon was stunned. He never dreamed that the jadeite which he assumed to be pea-greens were extremely precious and rare imperial greens!Before Leon could answer, a voice suddenly called out from behind, "I'll give you ten million!" An old man in his 70s entered the shop along with several well-dressed bodyguards.The old man w
"I…"Leon was incredibly hesitant. He had neither heard of the Shears before nor had any knowledge of who the four major families were, but he could tell from everyone's reaction that the individual in front of him was not just your average old man.His ten million bid was no doubt a very high price that far exceeded his expectations. One could not fault Leon for being swayed somewhat.However, he planned to use that jade to create an Energy Convergence Circle, and if he sold those two imperial greens to Benedict, it would be very difficult for him to find one that was more suitable."I'm sorry, sir. They're not for sale. I need them."Leon smiled apologetically.Benedict seemed disappointed and pressed further, "Are you sure you can't sell them? We can always negotiate the price.""I guess I can sell you one piece if you want them, but I would like to keep the other piece to myself," Leon hesitated.He needed only one piece to use as the focal point of the circle, so it was fi
Leon waved his hands repeatedly to respectfully decline Benedict's kindness."I must insist! If you take something as rare and precious as this imperial green and carve it into a piece of women's jewelry, it's almost certain to win their hearts..." Benedict grinned knowingly and gave Leon a little wink as if to say, 'I know what you want them for.'As someone who experienced a lot of things in life, he assumed that Leon's intended to have them crafted into jewelry and given to a current or potential girlfriend. After all, no one would have thought that Leon had some other purpose.Leon was initially still adamant about refusing but was eventually swayed by the old man. He scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and said, "Sir, I'd like to ask for a necklace if it's possible...""Not a problem!" Benedict let out a chuckle.If those two imperial greens were carved into two jade bracelets, the middle that had to be hollowed out was enough to make two necklace pendants, a couple of
"I'll pay 1.1 million! One of the tycoons were itching to make a bid."1.2 million!" Another rich person could not hold back anymore and join in.Brody could feel his insides churn. All he wanted was to buy the stone, but it seemed to have turned into an all-out bidding war! He considered whether or not to just give up on buying it, but now that all the other rich people were jumping on the bandwagon, he did not hesitate anymore and immediately increase the price. "I'll pay 1.3 million!""I'll do better. 1.4 million!" Leon raised the price again.Leon's decisiveness led many of the rich people who participated in the auction to become more confident."1.5 million from me!""1.6 million!"Brody's eyes turned red and lost his mind completely. "I'll pay 1.7 million!""Then I'll offer to buy it for 1.8 million!" Leon said calmly."1.83 million!""1.85 million!""1.88 million!"The other rich people increased the price one after another, but because the asking price was too high
"I'll do it myself!" Brody gritted his teeth and walked over just as Leon did earlier.The remaining volume of that raw jade stone was still enough for it to be cut a few more times, but due to his impatience, he immediately used the machine to cut the stone right down the middle.A glowing green light emerged at once!"There is it! There's the green!""Goodness me! It's not an imperial green, is it?""Didn't that young man say that there was nothing inside? Was he wrong?"...It was a thoroughly jaw-dropping sight, for no one thought that there would be another imperial green!"Darling! You did it! It's an imperial green, and it's so much bigger too! We hit the jackpot!"Marilyn was so overjoyed that she rushed up, wrapped her arms around Brody's neck, and kissed him several times."Hahaha... Didn't you say there wouldn't be anything inside, Leon? Open your dumb eyes and have a load of this!" Brody burst into laughter. He had a smug look and was as pretentious as pretentious
"Congratulations, Mister Sullivan! You spent all that money only on a dry green! I can never be as rich as you!" Leon remarked sarcastically and looked at Brody as if the latter was a fool."Why you..."Brody was fuming, for he finally understood that he fell for Leon's trick. He stared at Leon with a fiery gaze and said, "It's all your fault, Wolf. How dare you raise your bid and dupe me...""What of it? What's stopping me from duping you when you did the same to me?"Leon sneered after giving Brody a taste of his own medicine.What he did not expect, however, was that Brody's luck would be so terrible as to get only some worthless dry greens. In that respect, Brody had only himself to blame for being so unlucky!"I'm going to kill you for making me spend so much money!" Brody exploded with rage and rushed toward Leon like a madman."Control yourself! This is not the place for you to run amok!" Kai warned sternly.As soon as he spoke, the scar-faced man from earlier and severa
The requirements for that sort of ordinary jade were not as demanding as that for the core. At the very least, it had to be pea-green jadeites worth several thousand dollars.As Leon was not at all short on money, he spent about nine hundred thousand or so to buy those 18 pieces of finished white jadeite and then packed them all together with him.…After leaving the store, Leon walked toward the place where he parked his motorcycle.Within moments, he saw Brody and Marilyn approaching him menacingly with their two bodyguards."You're finally out, Leon. I've been waiting for you for ages!" Brody had a violent look on his face and a malicious smile on the corner of his mouth."What are you going to do, Brody?" Leon's face sank and he had a bad feeling."What do you think?""The other day's incident at the Civil Records Office and today's incident at the jade store are two scores that you and I are settling right here!" Brody grinned coldly. With a wave of his hand, his two bodyg
As soon as Marilyn said that, Leon delivered a thumping kick to one of the bodyguards in front of him.The crisp sound of cracking bones could be heard, and the bodyguard spurted out a mouthful of blood. His body was sent flying back about three or four meters away and fell heavily to the ground.The bodyguard felt as if his bones were crumbling apart, and he groaned miserably because he was in so much pain.At least five or six of his ribs were broken, and he could not get up from the ground!At that point, the other bodyguard attacked Leon and punched him in the face.Leon turned around, grabbed the fist, and grasped his opponent's arm before giving it a hard twist. A click was heard, and the opponent let out a blood-curdling scream as his arm broke due to the forceful twist.Then, Leon clasped the bodyguard's shoulder and seized the chance to give the opponent a shoulder throw.He then took one step forward, put his foot on his opponent's chest, and exuded a condescendingly a
