Chapter 53: Stone Gambling 2
603 Words
Unfortunately for Wang Yishan, his last raw stone did not contain any jade, causing a wave of disappointment among the crowd.
“Out of five stones, four produced jade—this success rate is incredible! No wonder Master Wang is so highly regarded!”
“Yeah, he truly deserves his reputation as a leading figure in the Jiangdong stone gambling scene. That security guard kid is doomed.”
Wang Yishan turned to Chen Xuan with a sneer. “Kid, it’s your turn. Let’s see what you’ve got.”
The crowd’s attention shifted to Chen Xuan as he signaled to the stone-cutting master to begin.
“Chen Xuan, are you sure about this? That old man won four out of five stones!” Han Chong asked anxiously.
“Just watch,” Chen Xuan replied with a relaxed smile.
“Hmph, keep smiling while you can. Soon, you won’t have a reason to,” Li Ke muttered darkly, glaring at Chen Xuan.
“Wait—there’s green!” someone suddenly exclaimed, drawing everyone’s attention to the stone.
Wang Yishan’s brows furrowed. Then, his eyes widened in shock. “Emperor Green… again? How is this possible?”
“Oh my god! Emperor Green! And this piece is even more vibrant and larger than the last one! It’s worth at least ten million!”
“No way! Did this security guard just get lucky again? This can’t be real!”
“Brother, stop cutting! I’ll offer thirteen million for that Emperor Green!”
“Thirteen million? That’s nothing! I’ll give fifteen million!”
“Seventeen million!”
As the bids soared, Han Chong stood frozen in shock. Then, he suddenly lunged at Chen Xuan and planted a loud kiss on his cheek. “Chen Xuan—no, Brother Chen! I f***ing love you! Another Emperor Green! Hahaha! That old man is done for!”
“Get lost!” Chen Xuan shuddered in disgust, wiping his face furiously. But when he saw the dumbfounded look on Wang Yishan’s face, he casually strolled over and plucked the check from the old man’s trembling fingers, waving it playfully. “Master Wang, thanks for the donation!”
Wang Yishan’s face turned a deep shade of green—an ugly, unsightly green.
After all, he had personally agreed that if Chen Xuan’s jade sold for more than his, he would hand over all the jade he had mined from his five stones.
Now, not only had he lost, but he had lost badly!
Wang Yishan had spent a total of twelve million on his five raw stones, plus the five million he had already lost to Chen Xuan earlier, amounting to a seventeen-million-yuan loss.
On top of that, Chen Xuan had just earned fifteen million from this single piece of Emperor Green jade!
His total financial setback had now surpassed thirty million!
Even for a man as wealthy as Wang Yishan, this kind of loss was unbearable!
The crowd erupted in excitement.
The bidding continued, and soon, the Emperor Green jade reached twenty million. Finally, a wealthy businessman sealed the deal at twenty-three million yuan.
“An Emperor Green jade worth twenty-three million… That’s practically unheard of in Jiangdong’s stone gambling scene! Did this security guard really just get lucky?”
“One single stone produced jade worth far more than all four of Master Wang’s combined. This is insane! Who is this guy?”
“Regardless of whether it was luck or skill, the fact remains—this security guard kid defeated Master Wang twice in a row. When word gets out, the entire Jiangdong gambling scene will be shaken!”
