Wang Renze said to Xiao Zheng that he wanted to help him accept this bet, making everyone greatly admire him for his righteousness, akin to the legendary heroes known for their extraordinary integrity in ancient tis.
However, Xiao Zheng could naturally see Wang Renze’s real purpose and, disregarding it, he smiled faintly, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Wang, but let’s talk about everything after the stone is cut."
Wang Renze felt annoyed inside but showed no flaw on his face, he just smiled faintly, too, "It seems Brother Xiao Zheng is very confident, well, we’ll see when the ti cos, after all, the outco of gambling on stones is unpredictable."
anwhile, the hubbub here attracted the attention of others, and many people in the large hall ca over, interested in watching the scene unfold.
These people were social elites from various fields such as business, military, politics, and science, from both Jiangcheng City and Zhonghai City, with quite high statuses.
Suddenly, the place beca even more bustling.
With so much attention, the young man who had bet with Xiao Zheng also beca proud and said, "Hey, why haven’t the stone been cut yet? Are you scared?"
Xiao Zheng smiled faintly and asked the staff to move the stone to the stone cutting master.
The stone cutting master carefully examined the stone for a long ti and said, "This stone looks like a waste stone, but so of its veins are very strange."
Upon hearing this, everyone felt their hearts skip a beat. Could there really be sothing extraordinary about this stone?
However, they quickly scoffed, "Master Cutter, don’t play mysterious, just cut it."
The stone cutter chuckled and fixed the stone on the machine, he picked up the cutting machine and moved closer. With a buzz, stone chips flew everywhere, and the surface of the stone rapidly thinned at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It lasted for a long while.
The stone had been cut in half, but no jade had appeared yet.
Seeing this, everyone started to laugh. Generally, if no jade appears after cutting to this extent, the chances of finding jade are extrely slim.
The young man who had wagered with Xiao Zheng laughed and said, "I say, Brother Xiao Zheng, I wonder if you have that much money, hahaha, don’t welsh on your bet when the ti cos."
Xiao Zheng ignored him.
The man got angry and huffed, "Just keep pretending, and we’ll see who ends up crying!"
Buzzing...
The stone cutter still looked very serious. Although he had already cut half of it without finding any jade, he showed no signs of letting up.
He continued to cut further.
Xiao Zheng also watched indifferently.
anwhile, Mo Anna couldn’t help but clenched her fists, a bit nervous. If Xiao Zheng were to fail here, he would lose a large sum of money, sothing she naturally did not want to see.
Wang Renze’s eyes harbored a faint smile, although it was not visible, one could still feel the subtly mocking tone in his deanor.
Other people were also whispering to each other, all pairs of eyes tightly fixed on the stone.
Bang!
Suddenly, there was a soft sound.
Everyone was stunned.
They then saw the stone cutter’s hand stop, and then his eyes suddenly widened, filled with intense shock.
While the crowd was still puzzled, the stone cutter threw down the cutting machine at his feet, excitedly lunged at the stone, wiped off the stone chips with his hands, and leaned in close to scrutinize it.
"There’s green!"
The stone cutter shouted ecstatically.
"Ice Species Pure Green!!!"
Wow!
The entire crowd suddenly erupted in gasps of astonishnt, everyone was excited and they crowded forward to examine the stone, which indeed turned out to be Ice Species Pure Green!
The young man gambling stones with Xiao Zheng was at first stunned, then shouted in disbelief, "Impossible! You must be lying!"
The stone-cutting master gave him a cold look and said, "I’ve been in this business for thirty years and no one has ever dared accuse of lying!"
The young man wouldn’t listen and rushed to the stone to see for himself; his face instantly revealed a look of shock and his lips trembled as he said, "It... it really is!"
Thud.
The man suddenly fell to the ground, kneeling without any image, his face ashen.
Mo Anna was also shocked, her lush little mouth agape, covered by her hand, her beautiful eyes wide open. This expression drew quite a lot of attention.
Xiao Zheng’s face showed a strange color as he asked Mo Anna, "Sister Mo, what does Ice Sun Pure Green an?"
Mo Anna looked at Xiao Zheng oddly and said, "You don’t know?"
Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "If I knew, I wouldn’t have asked you."
Listening to this, the people nearby all rolled their eyes, and an old boss couldn’t help but say, "Young man, are you trying to show off, or just showing off?
Ice Sun Pure Green, you don’t know? You co to gamble on stones without knowing that?"
Xiao Zheng spread his hands innocently.
He truly didn’t know.
He had chosen the stone rely by using his X-ray vision, seeing that its brilliance was quite dazzling.
"Ice Sun Pure Green, that’s a top-quality jade. This piece alone is worth at least over a million!" said soone who couldn’t stand it any longer, shaking his head as he explained.
Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but smile, looking at the young man he had bet with, "It seems that you’ve lost this bet."
The young man remained speechlessly stunned.
Two million!
Even for him, that was not a small amount, but a very substantial number. It was certain that he would be severely reprimanded by his elders when he returned ho.
In such a grand occasion, with so many people watching, he could never dare to default on the debt, otherwise the consequences would be very frightening.
Many people cast sympathetic glances at him.
And Wang Renze, at this ti, his face was very ugly.
He felt as if he was being slapped in the face in public.
Fortunately, he hadn’t done anything overtly excessive before, so he could still survive the situation now, albeit with an awkward smile.
Inside, he was extrely annoyed.
Towards Xiao Zheng, he now harbored a strong animosity, not just considering toying with Xiao Zheng as before, his eyes flickering with a sinister light.
"Young man, I’ll buy this stone, two million, how do you feel about that?"
"I’d like it too."
"If you sell it to , the price is negotiable, a few hundred thousand more won’t be a problem."
At that mont, several major bosses spoke up, each one looking at the stone with eager expressions.
This Ice Sun Pure Green had great selling potential. If bought and handed to a master sculptor, it could definitely be crafted into a masterpiece. These major bosses, being wealthy individuals, didn’t care about the extra few hundred thousand. They wanted to buy it out of pure fondness.
Moreover, an important reason was that gamblers tend to be superstitious and believe in luck!
Xiao Zheng, soone unfamiliar with stone gambling had cut such a fine piece, signifying his incredible luck. These people were all hoping to share in his good fortune.
