Maximilian’s words made Victoria blush. She gave him a stare, but meanwhile, anxiety watered down the uprush of shyness inside her just now.
Victoria looked silently at Maximilian and didn’t stop him again. Instead, she decided that if something happened, she would take the responsibility with him.
In an empty room beside the auction hall, a huge stone cutting machine was ready. Connor and Wyatt were standing beside it, talking in whispers.
"Connor, are you going to just look at it? That Mr. Lee has bought the worst raw stone. He is sure to lose."
Connor smiled and thought to himself. The one who was able to defeat the Young Master of the Dragon Sect hadn’t been born yet.
"Do you believe in miracle, Wyatt?" Connor asked in a low voice.
"Miracle? I would only believe in luck at most, let alone miracles. Do you think that a miracle will happen to Mr. Lee? You must be joking."
Wyatt was a sophisticated man and had experienced various bizarre incidents. But those bizarre incidents had nothing to do with luck, and most of them were artificial.
Therefore, when Connor asked him if he believed in miracles, Wyatt didn’t believe them at all. However, Wyatt couldn’t just spit it out for fear of hurting Connor’s feelings.
"Later, it will be the time to witness the miracle. Mr. Lee is not some ordinary man." Connor said with a smile.
Wyatt said nothing. He thought to himself. If he wasn’t an ordinary man, could it be that he was a god?
But there was no god in this world. The so-called "god" or "master" were all frauds. Could it be that Connor had been brainwashed and fooled by this young man?
Leon came with a bunch of people. They stood in front of Connor and Wyatt.
Leon didn’t set eyes on Connor. Since he had fallen out with him, he didn’t have to care about Connor’s feelings.
Leon cupped his hand in the other before his chest and said loudly, "Mr. Owen , please bear witness to this for us. You are an expert on jade identification, and I trust in your expertise. You won’t take sides."
Wyatt nodded. "I will definitely be fair, and I won’t distort the facts for the sake of Connor. Who wants to cut his stone first?"
"Of course me. I will let that loser see how superior my raw stone is."
After that, Leon waved his hand. The staff moved the raw stone on the cart onto the stone cutting machine.
When the stone cutter secured the raw stone, he started the machine to cut it.
Everyone kept their eyes fixed on that rumbling machine nervously. Since the protection cover was shut, the situation inside was still unclear.
Before long, the machine finished cutting. Leon’s raw stone was cut straight down the middle.
The stone cutter put the raw stones apart, revealing its cross profile.
A green band greeted them. It was a raw stone with jadeite in it.
"My gosh, such a wide color band, and it’s totally contained in the raw stone. If one peels off the outer shell along the edges, maybe a few jadeite pendants can be made out of it. The owner has made a killing!"
"For waxy jade, its quality is quite decent, but it’s not icy jade. If it were, this cut raw stone could have easily been sold at the price of tens of millions of yuan. But now, it can also be sold at the price of tens of millions of yuan easily."
"Leon has it all. Not only has he won a great bargain, but he will also win the bet later. In my opinion, we don’t have to cut the second raw stone anymore. That nobody can just kowtow to Leon and admit defeat."
