Situ Ao looked at Ye Luo’s expression and beca even more convinced that the raw stone contained a very valuable jade. His face lit up with excitent as he ordered people to start the stone-cutting process imdiately, his eyes fixed unwaveringly on the raw stone in front of him.
At the side, a devilish smile erged on Ye Luo’s lips, giving off the sense of a conspiracy coming to fruition.
"There’s probably nothing inside this raw stone, right?" Qin Yuru moved closer to Ye Luo and spoke.
"President Qin, you’re really clever," Ye Luo said with a smile.
Indeed, there was nothing inside the raw stone, it was just a useless rock, and his actions were solely to trick Situ Ao.
"Don’t call President Qin in the future, just call Yu Ru," Qin Yuru said, her eyes looking at Ye Luo as she spoke.
"Okay, Yu Ru, that’s a nice na," Ye Luo nodded and agreed, while Ling Qingya’s eyes flickered with a spark as she glanced at the two of them.
Chichichi...
The sound of the stone-cutting machine was noisy, and everyone around focused their attention on that raw stone, full of anticipation.
Soon, a third of the raw stone had been cut away, but still, there was nothing inside. Situ Ao’s expression never left the stone, ntally shouting for green to appear, for green.
In the blink of an eye, two-thirds of the raw stone had been cut, but there was no sign of green, not even a speck of light. What remained was riddled with various holes, and in the end, the whole raw stone turned into rubble without a trace of green; it was just a useless rock.
In that mont, everyone at the scene was stunned. Situ Ao’s face changed in an instant, his body involuntarily stepping back several paces, his complexion extrely unsightly.
"How... how is this possible?" Situ Ao was completely in disbelief, utterly perplexed. The shop owner too was staring blankly.
He had originally thought that this raw stone might really yield so top-quality jadeite, feeling a bit pained inside, but now it turned out to be a worthless rock. Yet it was this worthless rock that had netted him a billion, sothing unimaginable.
"Oh dear, it turned out to be a useless rock, I’m fortunate that Young Master Situ didn’t agree to my demand of two billion to buy this raw stone, or else I would have needlessly lost two billion."
Ye Luo’s voice rang out at just the right mont, carrying a touch of relief, but in Situ Ao’s ears at that mont, it sounded particularly grating.
"You bastard, did you engineer all this, didn’t you?"
Situ Ao suddenly turned around, his gaze fixed intently on Ye Luo, his body emitting a terrible rage, and the aura of the Innate Realm Early Phase burst forth, the formidable aura pressing toward Ye Luo.
"Young Master Situ? What do you an by this? I didn’t force you to buy this raw stone, and it was clearly you who wanted to compete with for it. How can you say I’ve sched anything?" Ye Luo shrugged and countered, releasing an invisible strength to neutralize Situ Ao’s formidable aura.
"Hmph, don’t think I’m a fool. This whole thing was your deliberate design. Bravo, you even dared to play tricks on . Today, I’ll let you see just how formidable I, Situ Ao, am," Situ Ao said coldly, snapping his fingers.
His group of Hei Yi n shot out a chilling gleam from their eyes and rushed towards Ye Luo, exuding a terrible montum.
Each of these n possessed the strength of Houtian Peak, with several among them being on the brink of the Innate Realm. Just an ordinary entourage possessing such strength goes to show how extraordinary the Situ Family indeed is.
However, these n seed vulnerable in the eyes of Ye Luo, and in the blink of an eye, he had knocked all of them to the ground.
Whoosh!
At that mont, Situ Ao suddenly attacked Ye Luo from behind, causing Ling Qingya and Qin Yuru who were standing beside him to involuntarily change their expressions.
Bang!
However, Ye Luo seed to have anticipated Situ Ao’s attack. The mont his opponent made a move, Ye Luo turned around and threw a punch directly at him.
Their fists collided, and instantly Situ Ao was sent flying backward, crashing into a pile of rough stones, smashing several into pieces. He imdiately began coughing repeatedly, with fresh blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, looking rather embarrassed.
Both in the Innate Realm Early Phase, Situ Ao appeared very weak compared to Ye Luo and was instantly defeated by a single move.
"That’s the extent of your strength, and you still want to make a move against ?"
Ye Luo curled his lip in disdain and huffed.
"Let’s go," said Ye Luo as he picked up the bag full of jade stones and looked at Qin Yuru and Ling Qingya.
The trio then left the place under the envious and astonished gazes of everyone else.
Watching Ye Luo’s retreating figure, Situ Ao’s face was filled with coldness. At the sa ti, a bearded man in the crowd flashed a strange gleam in his eyes, quickly leaving the place.
"Young Master Situ, are you alright?" A young man who had been following Situ Ao hurried over to help him up.
"Damn it, I will not let you get away with this," Situ Ao snorted coldly. His eyes shifted abruptly, and he stared fiercely at the shop owner, whose face changed slightly and beca sowhat nervous, quickly saying, "Young Master Situ, I don’t need that one billion. I’ll give it back to you."
"I don’t need that one billion; I just need you to do sothing for ," Situ Ao said coldly.
After leaving the antique market, Qin Yuru looked at the bag in Ye Luo’s hand and said, "The contents of your bag are worth at least four or five billion. Imagine if you were to be robbed. That would be quite a loss."
"No one has managed to rob anything from yet," Ye Luo said with a light laugh.
However, Qin Yuru’s face turned solemn as she looked at Ye Luo and said, "Ye Luo, you’ve offended Situ Ao this ti, so be careful. This guy is vindictive and might retaliate against you. If anything happens, contact right away."
"Is this guy very impressive? You seem sowhat wary of him," Ye Luo observed as he looked at Qin Yuru.
Qin Yuru nodded, "Although my Qin Family is one of the five great families in Capital City with a lofty status, the Situ Family is a bit stronger than our five great families. As a martial artist yourself, you should be aware of ancient martial arts."
"Their Situ Family represents an ancient martial arts lineage with a history spanning hundreds of years, holding vast influence in Capital City. Their family is full of ancient martial arts experts, hence even the Qin Family is quite wary of them. And this Situ Ao is the second son of the current Clan Leader of the Situ Family, known for being domineering and ruthless."
"I see," Ye Luo said nonchalantly with a smile but did not take it to heart.
"You don’t seem too worried," Qin Yuru remarked as her eyes fell on Ye Luo.
Ye Luo just smiled and did not reply. He had slain even the esteed Hidden Sect experts on the spot, so why should he fear an ancient martial arts family? Speaking of the Situ Family, he couldn’t help but think of Situ Luoyun, that seductive woman, and wondered what her relationship was with the Situ Family.
