Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 432

The auctioneer said again, “Two hundred thousand. Anyone with a higher price?”

“Two hundred thousand, one, two hundred thousand, two...”

Before the auctioneer banged the gavel, a high-pitched voice was heard, “One million!”

Huh?

The audience was surprised and looked in the direction of the voice.

It was Zeke Williams!

He raised the price from two hundred thousand to one million!

After a short silence, everyone burst into laughter.

“Ha-ha! He really knew nothing about stones. One million for a piece of scrap? And he even said that the precious stone just now was a piece of scrap. This guy is definitely out of his mind.”

“Hey, don’t say that. What if it really has a double egg yolk inside? He’ll become a billionaire, you know?

“Oh no. Come on. Double egg yolks are so rare that they hardly exist.”

Nancy Hinton was mad too as she gritted her teeth, “Zeke, what are you doing? Are you out of your mind?

“What’s the point to spend one million for a scrap stone?”

“I can bring you a ton from Mountain Tai if you want.”

Hannah Lawson was confused too. “Zeke, are you provoking Hadley again to compete with you? She is an expert in this field. I doubt she will fall into your trap again.”

Lacey was so mad that she kicked Zeke Williams angrily, “Are you going to drive me mad? I will deduct the money from your salary, you know?”

Zeke Williams shrugged with a smile and said nothing. Honey, trust me. You’ll find out later!

The auctioneer quickly raised his voice again, afraid that Zeke Williams would go back on his word, “One million. Anyone higher?”

“One million for this piece. Going once, going twice, sold! Congratulations! Well, let’s invite all the bidders to come on stage to sign for the bidding contract.”

Nancy Hinton, Zeke Williams, and Hadley Murphy went up together.

The auction was over, but it seemed like no one was ready to leave yet.

They were all waiting for Hadley Murphy to scrap her stone.

“Ms. Hinton and Ms. Murphy, we offer free services to cut the stone. Do you wish to proceed with the cutting session on the spot?” The auctioneer asked.

“Of course.” Nancy Hinton nodded.

Hadley Murphy also agreed.

“Hey, mine too. Cut that big stone for me!” Shouted Zeke Williams.

The auctioneer could not help but laugh, “Are you sure, Mr. Williams?”

What if there is nothing inside? Oh, what a shame!

“Of course,” replied Zeke Williams with determination.

“Alright then. I’ll arrange it for you too,” the auctioneer replied.

“Let’s start with Ms. Hinton’s first? Shall we?”

Immediately, the staff brought the professional tools to the exhibition stand.

“Ms. Hinton, where do you wish to cut?” The auctioneer asked.

“Well, let’s see. Hmm. Let’s start from the middle,” said Nancy.

“Alright.” The staff immediately began to cut it from the middle.

They immediately saw the green jade after cutting down for three or four centimeters.

The audience was amazed.

“This should be a full-green piece. Plus, chances are this is a high grade piece. If that’s the case, it could worth more than one hundred million or even two hundred million!”

“To think that I’ve only spent eighty million to acquire this precious gem. That is a money well spent indeed! The profit is insane!”

Nancy Hinton was proud of herself as she turned to Zeke. “Hey, see that? I have a keen eye. Luckily, I didn’t listen to you just now. Or else, I would be in deep trouble.”

“The best is yet to come. Let’s wait and see,” Zeke Williams said indifferently.

“As I said, your stone might look good on the surface. But who knows what’s inside?”

“Don’t talk nonsense!” Nancy Hinton was annoyed.

“Come on, guys. Let’s cut further down. I want to shut his mouth up!”
