Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander) novel Chapter 503

Chapter 503 God’s Chosen Girl Has Revealed Herself

At this point, the master made the second cut extremely cautiously. The entire process took about 10 minutes before the external layer of the rock was finally removed, revealing the treasure inside.

In those few short moments, the entire crowd was silent before suddenly erupting into a roar.

“That is the highest quality glassy species jadeite! Look at its color and its degree of transparency! This is truly rare!”

“F*ck! I knew there’d be a surprise today, but I didn’t know there’d be such a great surprise! It’s an opportunity of a lifetime to be able to see this quality of glassy species jadeite with my very own eyes!”

“Well, I told you all to read more. Tsk! To only be able to say these few words at this crucial moment… Let me tell you all—this is imperial jade. To use fine gold as an analogy, it’s 999 gold. Truly a treasure!”

Gasp after gasp followed that comment, as if anyone who didn’t compliment the jadeite would look uneducated.

In truth, such jadeite was indeed rare.

Even Ziggy couldn’t help brightening up and revealing his surprise, as if he hadn’t anticipated such unexpected good news. “Do you still think I won’t win?” He looked arrogantly at Elise.

On the other hand, Elise pretended not to see that and only stood expressionlessly in her spot, staring at her own stone without glancing away for even a moment.

The work of breaking open the stone was still in progress and together with the whispers of the crowd, the roar of the engine and the tapping of the hand-polishing made the entire space buzz like a hive.

At this moment, almost everyone had their attention on Ziggy, since there was no denying he had found imperial jade. As long as it occupied around half of the already massive rough stone, he would be able to sell it for upwards of fifty million.

Right at this moment, on Elise’s side, the master who was breaking open the stone suddenly paused in his actions. “What?!” he blurted.

“What’s the matter?” Deeply afraid that the master would definitively declare the stone as waste rock, Tom watched on with his heart in his throat.

If that were the case, he would truly lose his confidence. After all, his opponent had four top-quality goods to speak of.

“Calm down.” Elise patted his shoulder.

“This jadeite is somewhat strange.” The master smacked his lips, suddenly becoming alert and determined. At the same time, he began to polish more vigorously, and his mouth gradually fell open as his world-weary eyes flashed in astonishment.

Meanwhile, Tom had his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles were cracking out loud. His mouth was also dry from nerves. On the other hand, Elise looked as calm as she always did, as if she was simply on a grocery run at the supermarket.

“My god…” By now, the master had stopped moving and was staring at the stone he was holding in awe.

As some of the audience members noticed his reaction, they craned their necks to see what was happening while asking loudly, “Hey, what’s going on? Keep going!”

With that, more people began to look over.

“Don’t tell me he actually found a green stone?”

“Even if he did, nothing of good quality could come from the stones in the outer hall.”

“You’re right. There is no green.” The master seemingly hadn’t recovered from his shock. As those who were paying attention revved up to start another round of commentary, he beat them to the punch by saying, “There’s red.”

“What?”

“It’s a rare blood jadeite!” The master finally calmed down enough to announce to the audience, his voice determined, “Only one other piece has been found in the last 100 years, at the previous gem auction event in Landred City. I’ve seen pictures of it. It’s of the same kind!”
