Soon, the bidding began.
The starting price, fifty million, was the same as before…
Everyone rushed to make their bids…
In the end, the old man behind Xyla Quest offered eighty million dollars and bought the jade rock directly.
After purchasing it, the old man looked at Xyla. “Lady, I’ll show you what kind of stuff is inside the rock that you said isn’t good. You’re still too young and inexperienced.”
With that, the old man stood up and confidently looked at the auctioneer on stage. “Cut it open right away…”
“Alright…” The auctioneer smiled.
After that, Zim Hummers led three handsome staff members onto the stage.
While everyone watched, Zim and the staff members placed the object onto the cutting machine and started to cut it open…
The large screen behind them displayed details of the process clearly.
At this moment, everyone was paying attention to the piece of original jade rock.
The old man with white hair was also the center of attention.
Soon, the cutting of the material was complete.
When Zim saw what was on the cut surface, he was dumbfounded.
At first, he was very optimistic about this piece of material. However, he expected there to be nothing inside…
It was empty!
With eyes full of disbelief, he and the other staff members displayed the two cut surfaces in front of the camera.
At this moment…
The old man with white hair was stunned, and so were the other people who were there.
Xyla Quest was the only person with a calm expression upon her face.
“How… How is this possible?” The old man stood up shakily and asked as he stared at the empty original jade rock.
“How could there be nothing inside? Its surface clearly shows that it’s of top quality…” He added.
