“Give it to them. This stone is worthless.”
Jared said once again.
Before Oliver could speak again, Lizbeth scolded, “Return the stone right now! You're such an idiot. No wonder you got swindled. Just take this as a lesson!”
Oliver didn't know what to say. In the end, he gritted his teeth and tossed the stone to Joseph helplessly. Then, he lowered his head with a dejected look on his face.
“I told you, the stone is worthless. It only had a thin layer of imperial jade on the surface. If you cut deeper, there would be nothing in it.”
Jared patted Oliver on the shoulder to comfort him.
“Really?” Oliver quickly raised his head in surprise.
If what Jared said was true, the stone would be worthless, and he wouldn't suffer any losses.
“Of course!” Jared smiled gently.
Joseph sneered upon hearing Jared's words. “I've been in the stone gambling business for decades. My judgment can't be worse than a kid in his twenties. With such green coloration on this stone, there must be at least three pieces of imperial jade in it!"
“If you don't believe me, you can make another cut and see it for yourself!” Jared said to Joseph.
The crowd immediately became interested when they overheard their conversation. They gathered around and shouted, “Make another cut!”
“Okay, I shall make one more cut!” Joseph said.
Then, he passed the stone to his subordinate, and the subordinate meticulously cut the stone again.
After cutting it again, there was indeed nothing inside, not even a bit of green.
This time, everyone was stunned. Even Joseph gasped in disbelief.
“Don't stop cutting!” Joseph yelled at his subordinate.
After another cut, there was still nothing inside.
In the end, the stone was cut into shards, and there was only a thin layer of imperial jade with nothing else inside. It was indeed a worthless piece of rock.
