Supremely Talented Tyrant

"How... How is it possible!? How can this rough stone turn out green!? And it turned green with just one cut?! Are you saying that this entire rough stone is just wrapped in a thin layer of stone skin?!"

"This..."

The Stone-Cutting Master's face was solemn. This was only the first cut, and it had already revealed green. Such a situation was quite rare in the Gambling Stone World, but not unheard of.

Although it could not be ruled out that this entire rough stone might only have a small corner where green was exposed, his rich experience in stone cutting told him that he must be cautious in the following cuts!

Not far away, when Ye Wenying saw that Hao Jian's rough stone had turned green with one cut, his face instantly darkened, and a fierce light gradually shone from his eyes...

How could this guy be so lucky?!

How could a layman in gemstone gambling possibly choose a rough stone that turns green on the first try?

Exchanging a glance with Shi Qiu and seeing the smile on Shi Qiu's face, his worry slightly eased. As long as this guy didn't show any worried expression, it meant that Hao Jian's rough stone truly couldn't turn out green.

Hmph! Kid, you think you can disgrace Young Master Ye? Looks like you're not up to par!

Based on Shi Qiu's experience, it was highly unlikely that Hao Jian's stone material would increase in value by gambling!

"Crack, crack, crack!"

With the Stone-Cutting Master's second cut, Hao Jian's rough stone once again revealed a captivating color. The master's handling of the second cut was measured as he made the cut on the other side of the rough stone, which also turned out green.

This meant that to a large extent, this rough stone was only a skin!

"It... it looks like it's Glass Type Water-Type Jadeite!"

Many sharp-eyed onlookers saw the unusual green and immediately exclaimed unconsciously...

"Glass Type?"

Hearing this, Hao Jian was stunned for a moment. To the current businessmen, Glass Type Water-Type Jadeite is of varying grades, if his rough stone really had a fist-sized portion of Glass Type, then regardless of the grade, it would firmly beat Shi Qiu's stone!

After all, Shi Qiu's jadeite was merely large in size. Its Water-Type Jadeite was only of a lower grade within Ice-Type, and its value was increased simply because of its size. It was believed that another cut would cause this jadeite's value to plummet.

"Master is cutting the stone, keep it down!"

Not expecting his second cut to provoke discussions among the onlookers, the Stone-Cutting Master suddenly felt bombarded by buzzing flies in his ears and his face turned dark as he lightly scolded the crowd.

Once the onlookers shut their mouths, he took the nearby hose, turned on the tap, and started to clean the two cuts, revealing the jadeite inside.

After a careful look, the master confirmed that it was indeed the Glass Type they mentioned. However, what grade of Glass Type it was remained unclear and would only be determined after most of the cover stone had been removed.

However, from a certain point of view, one might say that Hao Jian had already won the gamble. With his years of stone-cutting experience, this stone could very likely be all jadeite!

In other words, this fist-sized piece of Glass Type had already firmly surpassed Shi Qiu's Ice-Type.

"Sir, do you wish to continue cutting?"

The master still professionally asked Hao Jian, since this piece of jadeite could still fetch a handsome price even if the grade of Glass Type was not clear.

If further cuts were made, it might indeed lead to some unavoidable situations.

"Master, continue cutting."

Hao Jian chuckled and nodded, asking the Stone-Cutting Master to continue with the stone cutting. Anyway, he was not short of money, and this was a betting match, not a stone-cutting phase that could be stopped midway.

Nodding, the Stone-Cutting Master restarted the Stone-Cutting Machine...

"Crack, crack, crack..."

The Stone-Cutting Master's third cut slowly made its way across the stone. Considering that this rough stone could potentially increase greatly in value, the master was especially careful...

This cut took him more than ten minutes to slowly make a one-centimeter cut. And after cutting a bit further, a streak of green suddenly flashed across his eyes. He quickly turned off the Stone-Cutting Machine, rinsed the cut with water, and continued cutting in another direction with the machine.

The Stone-Cutting Master was pretty certain that the rough stone was just covered in a thin skin, so he began the final task of cutting, which was peeling.

That meant removing the outer layer of stone skin to reveal the true face of the whole jadeite!

"This... this... this..."

As the stone cutting progressed, the Stone-Cutting Master's face grew increasingly solemn, until finally, his face was filled with disbelief, and a trembling voice slowly emerged from his mouth...

"This is the legendary top-quality jadeite!"

"What?! Top-quality jadeite?!"

The words of the stone-cutting master instantly set off waves of shock. Everyone looked at him in disbelief as they saw the true nature of the stone material revealed under the flow of water, and exclaimed aloud.

"Could this... Could this really be that top-quality glass type jadeite, violet with floating green inclusions?!"

Some people with sufficient knowledge of jade immediately recognized the ultimate quality of the water-type jadeite, and they got as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood...

"How could this be?!"

Shi Qiu, upon seeing the final grade of Hao Jian's jadeite, suddenly turned much paler, his lips trembling as he turned his head, looking ugly while glancing at Ye Wenying...

"What's going on?!"

Ye Wenying had never bothered to learn about the grades of jadeite in gambling stones. He didn't understand what these people were saying now; all he was hoping for was that someone could tell him how much money Hao Jian's jadeite could sell for, whether he won or Hao Jian did.

"Young Master Ye, this is a piece of top-quality glass type jadeite, and it's of the highest grade..."

Shi Qiu looked at Ye Wenying with a somber expression, his trembling voice slowly coming out, "This grade of glass type jadeite, I have only seen in books. If we calculate by the current market prices in the jadeite world, this fist-sized violet-green piece is worth three hundred million!"

Three hundred million! That's three hundred million! Compared with the ice-type jadeite he offered, which was worth five to six million, that's nothing. This also proved who the real winner was.

Without question, it was Hao Jian!

"How... How could this be?!"

Ye Wenying's face was dull with shock. How could Hao Jian, such a simple-minded person, have such high-level gambling stone skills?! This was simply impossible!

Ye Wenying looked upset and whispered something to the person in charge of the gambling stone site next to him. Then, he gradually regained some semblance of a smile...

Hao Jian, today this young master wants to see if you can really leave safely with your jadeite!

"Since we can't embarrass you openly, then this young master will see if you can dodge this move in the dark!" The corners of Ye Wenying's mouth slowly curled up as he sneered inwardly.

As for Shi Qiu, he had a look of dejection all over his face. He had come out of retirement at great lengths to show off his skills in front of Ye Wenying, hoping to gain more of his esteem. But now, he hadn't expected someone like Hao Jian to cut open such a top-quality piece of jadeite that even he hadn't dared to dream of!

This is a top-quality jadeite, after all. The three hundred million price tag was an understatement from him; he believed that if Hao Jian took this jadeite to a professional auction, those collectors might even push the price to four hundred million!

So much money, he could never achieve in his lifetime of frequent jadeite gambling, and now Hao Jian just cut open one piece and immediately made that much!

"Cough, cough!"

While everyone had different thoughts, a light cough drew everyone's attention. They saw a man about fifty years old, dressed in a suit, slowly walking through the crowd.

This man was recognized by many on-site as the nominal highest person in charge of the site, essentially the boss...

But what was this man doing running over here?

Seeing this man appear, Ye Wenying's face gradually regained some color, his cold gaze resting on Hao Jian, his thoughts clear, "Hao Jian, have you forgotten? This is my turf. With just a little maneuvering, I can make sure your piece of rock spits back out what it ate!"

"This violet-green piece is exactly like the violet-green piece that disappeared from our site!"

The person in charge of the gambling stone site, after closely examining Hao Jian's piece of jadeite, stated emotionlessly such a hard-to-believe claim...

Damn! This old guy is too shameless, right?!

Damn, how did such a person become the head of a gambling stone site?!

Hearing this guy's words, the onlooking crowd immediately cast scornful glances, yet due to his status, no one dared to speak out.

However, some shrewd people glanced at Ye Wenying not far away and nodded in understanding.

Rumors had it that the person in charge of this gambling stone site was a dog of the Ye Family. Now it seems indeed to be the case, but what they didn't expect was that to deal with Hao Jian, they would come up with such a flawed lie!

But there was no other way, who asked for the Ye Family to be one of the major clans of Capital City? With such a background, even with many inconsistencies in the lie, no one dared to highlight them.

Unless they no longer wanted to get by in Capital City...

"Are you saying that I stole your jadeite and forcibly stuffed it into this stone?"
