Reborn From Ashes novel Chapter 226

"A newbie?" Benjamin's expression darkened instantly, and his gaze became sharper.

This young man had the audacity to question whether he was a newbie right in front of him. To top it off, he sarcastically said that 750 thousand dollars was a lot, yet he still refused to sell it.

For a moment, the atmosphere around them seemed to freeze. All eyes turned toward Hayden, their expressions filled with disbelief. They all swallowed. Everyone felt nervous.

Unbelievable! This guy is way too reckless!

Almost everyone here knew the gem was worth far more than a few hundred thousand dollars. But to speak it so brazenly to the owner and in that tone? He must have a death wish!

Benjamin owned the emerald store here, and his power was beyond anything this young man could handle.

"This is too little for you?" Benjamin asked coldly, suppressing his rising anger.

"Whether or not I think it's too little, don't you already know the answer? I could sell this gem for 300 million dollars if I wanted to, but now you're only offering me that much? Are you trying to rip me off?" Hayden looked at Benjamin coldly.

The sound of people drawing sharp breaths echoed throughout the room.

300 million dollars? Was it true that this emerald was worth that much?

Christina was in disbelief. She could never imagine such a price, even in her wildest dreams.

"Young man, you need to know your limits. What's meant for you will be yours, and what isn't, you can't take," Benjamin's gaze grew colder as he stared at Hayden.

Their gaze met. The tension between them was palpable.

Everyone around them felt a shiver run down their spine. They knew something serious was about to happen.

This gem was a treasure. Nobody would just willingly let it go. Benjamin, clearly, wasn't planning to. It became more evident that Hayden was losing the fight.
