BXBX NOVEL Chapter 303 - 303: Going All Out?
Grondor said coldly, “Zachary, you’re still so kind as to visit me?
I’m afraid you can’t wait for me to die.”
Zachary waved his hand, “Hey, Brother, you can’t say that.
We might be competing, but we’re still friends.”
Grondor spat, “I don’t treat you as my friend.”
However, Zachary still remained smiling, “Brother, you don’t treat me as a friend, but I’ve always treated you as a friend!”
Grondor said, “Alright, don’t say such hypocritical words.
What exactly do you want?”
Zachary narrowed his eyes and smiled, “Brother, it’s so lively here today. Why don’t we play a litte?”
Grondor frowned and asked, “How so?”
Zachary said loudly, “Let’s each choose a raw stone in the hall on the third floor and cut it in front of everyone!
Let’s see who gets the better jade to determine the winner!”
Grondor sneered and said, “You want to gamble stones with me?”
“That’s right.”
Zachary nodded.
Grondor asked in a deep voice, “What do you want to bet?”
“A jade mine!”
Zachary replied in a loud voice, then said, “If you win, 1’11 give you a jade mine! “Otherwise, you have to give me a jade mine!”
As soon as these words were spoken…
The crowd went into an uproar.
“Oh my god, he’s betting on a jade mine. Is he playing at such high stakes?”
“As expected of an existence comparable to the Stone King. He’s so bold!” “Now, let’s see if the Stone King dares to agree!”
Everyone present surrounded him and discussed.
Zachary looked at Grondor provocatively, “Brother, do you dare to play?”
Jin Yumin whispered, “Brother, this guy came prepared. Don’t agree to it.”
Grondor said, “If I don’t agree, the Country Noodle jade industry will think that I’m afraid of him.
This guy has always wanted to move me. I won’t let him have his way.”
Jin Yumin advised, “Don’t act on impulse!”
“I’m not acting on impulse. It represents my dignity!”
Grondor replied, then met Zachary’s gaze and said loudly, “Since you’re so interested, I’ll play with you!”
“Good, as expected of the Stone King. You’re indeed bold!”
Zachary laughed and took a contract from a bodyguard. “I’ve already prepared the jade mine transfer contract!
Regardless of whether we win or lose later, we just need to sign and fingerprint it to take effect!”
Jin Yumin’s expression changed, “This guy really came prepared!”
Grondor said in a steely voice, “Even if he came prepared, I’m not afraid of him!”
A look of admiration appeared in Yang Luo’s eyes.
As expected of the Stone King of Country Noodle, he was indeed domineering.
Seeing that Grondor had agreed, the event location burst into chatter once again.
One had to know that they often gambled stones and often saw people gamble, but they had never seen anyone gamble so much!
How much was a jade mine worth!
Zachary pointed at the one-eyed old man beside him and said, “This old gentleman is a new appraiser I hired. He’s a famous appraiser, Chen Lifang. His nickname is ‘Ghost Eye King’.
“Old Master Chen will help me choose the raw stones tonight.”
Chen Lifang looked up at Grondor and said with a sinister smile, “Mr. Stone
King, I’m very interested in this ‘Golden Eye King’ that follows you.
“Let him compete with me tonight. Let’s see who’s better at appraising.”
“Mr. Jin, who is this ‘Golden Eye King’?”
Yang Luo asked curiously.
Jin Yumin said, “The ‘Golden Eye King’ he mentioned is called Qi Zhuoyu. He’s the number one appraiser beside Brother Grondor and also the number one appraiser in Country Noodle.
In the past, Mr. Qi had opened three pieces of Imperial Jade Glass for Grondor in three days, and his name resounded throughout Country Noodle.
As long as it was a raw stone that Old Master Qi liked, it would definitely produce jade. There had never been a time when he was wrong.
It was precisely because of this that outsiders felt that Old Master Qi had X-ray vision, so they called him the Golden Eye King.
“I see.”
Yang Luo nodded in realization.
There were countless extraordinary people in this world, so naturally there were people who had X-ray vision.
Therefore, he did not find it strange at all.
Grondor said to Chen Lifang, “Old Master Qi has gone overseas to do something these few days. He can’t make it back now.
I’ll choose another appraiser to compete with you.”
Chen Lifang smiled sinisterly and said, “Mr. Stone King, if Old Master Qi doesn’t come personally, you will likely lose tonight.”
Jin Yumin whispered, “Brother, this old fellow is probably not simple. If he casually chooses an appraiser, he might really lose!”
Grondor frowned and said, “But the key is that Mr. Qi isn’t here now.”
Yang Luo said, “Mr. Grondor, let me compete with this old fellow!”
Jin Yumin’s eyes lit up and he said, “Yes, yes, yes. Brother, let Mr. Yang take action!
Mr. Yang’s appraisal ability is probably not inferior to Old Master Qi’s!
With Mr. Yang around, we will definitely win!”
“This…!”
Grondor was still a little hesitant.
Although he acknowledged Yang Luo’s medical skills, he only learned about Yang Luo’s appraisal ability from Jin Yumin. He had yet to witness him in action.
Yang Luo said, “Mr. Grondor, don’t worry.
I’ll definitely beat this old fellow.”
Grondor took a deep breath and said, “Mr. Yang, if you can defeat this old man,
I’ll transfer the jade mine I win to you!”
“Forget about the jade mine.”
Yang Luo shook his head and said, “As long as you bring me to Getault
Mountain tomorrow, that will be fine.”
Grondor said, “Mr. Yang, there’s no reason to take back what I said.
Moreover, 1 only need to maintain my reputation. I want to dampen Zachary’s spirit.”
“Alright then.”
Yang Luo nodded in agreement.
“Brother, have you thought about which appraiser will compete with Old
Master Chen?”
Zachary lit a cigar and asked.
Yang Luo took a step forward and said loudly, “Let me go against this Old
Master Chen!”
“You?”
Zachary sized up Yang Luo and immediately burst out laughing. “You’re a kid who hasn’t even grown your hair fully, yet you claim to know how to appraise treasures?”
Yang Luo said indifferently, “Why? Does the appraisal industry also depend on age?”
Zachary looked at Grondor and said, “Brother, if you send this brat out, even if
I defeat you, there’s no pride in that.
If you really can’t choose anyone, I’ll lend you someone?”
“Hahaha…”
Everyone present burst into laughter.
Obviously, no one thought highly of Yang Luo.
After all, they knew all the top appraisers in Country Noodle’s jade industry.
But they had never seen Yang Luo before.
Chen Lifang said coldly, “Kid, don’t cause trouble here. Move aside.
Even if I, Chen Lifang, defeat you, it won’t be glorious.”
Grondor also felt his face heat up, but he still braced himself and said, “This Mr. Yang is my friend. He has very powerful appraisal skills. He’s even better than Mr. Qi!
Therefore, I completely believe in Mr. Yang!”
“No way. How can this kid compare to Old Master Qi?”
“Do you believe it? Anyway, I don’t believe it.”
Everyone present discussed spiritedly, not believing in his words at all..
