Chapter 111
“It’s really a red jade!”“This is my luckiest day to have a chance to see such a gorgeous red jade!”Staring at the red jade in Janet’s hand, the owner of Jade Pavilion couldn’t help but gulp. He even stuttered while asking, “M-Miss Jackson, are you selling this red jade?”If this red jade was displayed in his shop, his business would definitely prosper and that huge pile of accumulated leftovers in the storehouse would be sold out in no time. Not only that, he could even sell them at an exorbitant price and he would definitely earn a fortune.Picking up the red jade, Janet instantly felt a magical force and it was extremely soothing to hold it.Slowly, she walked toward the shop owner and asked indolently, “How much are you willing to pay for it?”The owner of Jade Pavilion knew that this girl wasn’t a pushover so he timidly replied, “10 million.”Janet couldn’t help but secretly scoff.Surely such a rare red jade was not only worth 10 million?Despite feeling contemptuous, she didn’t show it on her face, totally mastering the skill of looking composed on the outside.“Young girl, I’ll buy it for 20 million!” The owner of the jade shop next door was interested in this red jade as well because he, too, had the same idea as the owner of Jade Pavilion. They both wanted to display this red jade to attract business.“20 million?!”Everyone was shocked.Obviously, these two shop owners knew the worth of this red jade and were willing to buy it at an exorbitant price.However, Janet knitted her eyebrows, obviously unsatisfied with that price.As expected, the people in the stone-gambling market were extremely stingy.How could it be that such a priceless red jade was only worth 20 million? Only stingy people like them had the guts to say that.The owner of Jade Pavilion deliberated. 20 million?He didn’t have so much cash at the moment so he definitely couldn’t afford it.However, he couldn’t allow the shop owner next door to buy it either. Otherwise, his business would definitely be ruined in the future!If all the customers went to the shop next door, he would be bankrupt sooner or later.Right at this moment, Henry said, “Miss Janet, these two are too stingy. They’re hoodwinking you so don’t sell it to them. Instead, why don’t you sell it to me? I’ll buy it for 50 million.” Upon hearing that, the owner of Jade Pavilion had mixed emotions of helplessness and delight. If Young Master Moss bought it, at least the shop owner next door couldn’t get it.The shop owner next door was helpless too because he truly couldn’t afford to fork out 50 million.Janet then raised her eyebrows and said disdainfully, “Young Master Moss, you’re stingy too. Is this red jade worth only 50 million? Do you know how much this piece is worth in Markovia?”“How much?” Curious, the crowd looked at Janet.“At least 500 million!”Everyone screamed, “500 million?!”Henry was speechless.“That’s impossible!”“Who would buy it for 500 million? Although rare things are extremely expensive, this red jade is even more expensive than an elixir. Why would anyone buy it?”“Exactly. She’s arrogant because she got a red jade and is asking for a ridiculous price.”Everyone stared at Janet in envy and jealousy. At the same time, they deliberately showered her with humiliating remarks.Amongst the crowd, a charming and handsome man looked at Janet with a faint smile.It seemed like she understood the market of stone-gambling in Markovia too. In that case, was it still her sheer luck?“I’ll buy it for 500 million!”While the crowd was chattering, a man who had been in the shadows suddenly stepped forward. It was none other than Mason.Janet was lost for words.Looking at Mason, the crowd thought, Isn’t he the girl’s friend?“Handsome, don’t be fooled!”“This girl is cunning. Do you really think it’s worth 500 million?”“Exactly. I think that this girl is rather seductive.”Hearing the comments from the crowd, Mason started to look annoyed. He honestly hated the people who commented on his girl.Next, a cold yet deterrent voice travelled into everyone’s ears. “Mind your own business!”The crowd was speechless.“Oh god. The eyes of this man are so terrifying. I think we should leave.”“Indeed. Let’s get going. Anyway, I was extremely fortunate to see a red jade and I no longer have regrets in my life.”Walking toward Mason, Janet raised her eyebrows. “Are you joking?” Upon hearing that, Mason was first stunned. Then, an evil yet charming smile appeared on his face. “Am I that humorous?”
