The crowd ran over, huddling around the cutting machine.


    The cock was cut into, and there was a glimmer of greening from the inside.


    That was something that only could be seen in the finest of jade


    The crowd gasped in inve.


    The staff member operating the cutting machine got a lot more careful. He flipped the rock over and


    resumed cutting into the rock much more slowly.


    Kenji’s smille vanished from his face. He was unable to believe that there would be jade in a piece of


    rock like that.


    It was important to note that if this turned out to be a good piece of jade, it might even be an emerald


    jade.


    Emerald jade was considered to be the finest form of jade there was.


    A few minutester, the rock had cracked open to reveal a walnut–sized piece of deep green, emerald


    jade.


    The crowd was left in awe at the sight of it.


    “That’s an ice emerald jade


    “No, I think it’s frost emerald“”


    “Are you adding me? That’s ss emerald.”RêAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only


    The piece of jade had not been sanded down yet, and everyone was still guessing


    Yet just from the looks of it, everyone could tell that it was definitely a fine piece of jade.


    Kenji’s expression waspletely ashen.


    It was clear that there had been a piece of jade in that useless rock by the fake pond, and a pretty


    high–quality piece at that.


    He had lost, and he had lost big time.


    He gripped the armrest of his chair as if he was going to crush it.


    He had spent eight hundred thousand dors on a piece of jade that was only worth a little over a


    hundred thousand. That was a huge loss


    Now that he had bet a million dors here, he once again suffered a humiliating defeat


    Money was not a problem for him, but he had just suffered two huge hits to his pride and reputation!


    Hage welled up in Kenji’s ches


    He did notsh out on ount of his status, but a deep hatred for Wilbur had settled in his heart.


    Just then, the emerald jade had been extracted. It was polished and sanded down even more to reveal


    its true color.


    Everyone had gotten a good look by then.


    A few people were eximing in awe, while another few people said in unison, “Imperial jade?”


    “Oh my god! It’s an imperial jade.”


    “How could that be? That’s unbelievable.”


    “Sir, how could you use something this valuable as pond decor?”


    The shop owner’s face flushed at thements, his expression regretful and embarrassed.


    He did not know that there would be a hidden gem In the random stones around the fake pond in his


    backyard and that the gem would be a piece of imperial jado,


    Despite the fact that the jade was only the size of a walnut, It was definitely worth at least a million


    dors


    If it was carved out properly with an exquisite design, the price might even double,


    The shop owner’s chest ached, but there was no way he could take the jade back at this point.


    Just then, one of the staff members turned around silently


    He remembered that moving the betting rocks around had been too exhausting, and he had tossed a


    few of the smaller pieces


    by the pond. Who would have thought that something like this would happen?


    Wilbur sipped his tea and looked at Kenji with a smile. “I think I got a piece of jade.


    “So what?” Kenji’s face took on an ugly shade of purple.
