Everyone was dumbfounded!
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the cut surface of No. 36 stone. The alluring green made everyone's heartbeat speed up a lot.
Everyone present had been in the gambling-stones circle for so many years. Naturally, they all know the value of Imperial Green very well. Just a stone as big as a fist could sell for hundreds of millions of dollars.
According to the volume of No. 36 stone, at least it could sell for more than 1 billion.
Compared with this stone, Benjamin's Glassie was nothing.
Benjamin, who was still in the excitement just now, was immediately dumbfounded when he saw that the No.36 stone had Imperial Green in it.
At that time, he mocked Leonardo couldn’t definitely defeat him today. Because in his opinion, No. 36 stone was a waste stone. It was impossible that there were good materials inside.
Not only did he think so, everyone at the scene all felt that No. 36 was a waste stone. After all, this stone looked too ordinary. It could even be said that No. 36 stone was the worst among all the stones present.
So everyone didn’t have any expectation to this stone.
But now there was Imperial Green inside this stone, which shocked everyone present. The shock feeling was just like an atomic bomb exploded in the crowd.
When Leonardo saw Imperial Green inside, his mouth and eyes all opened wide. Then, his whole body began to tremble.
"Imperial Green!!! Casey, it is Imperial Green! We got Imperial Green. I have been in the jade industry for so many years. This is the first time that I see Imperial Green with my own eyes. Casey, you are really my lucky star! "
Leonardo was so excited that he almost hugged Casey directly.
"It's really amazing. The stone actually has Imperial Green inside. This is the largest piece of Imperial Green in the history of Yutian County."
"My God, I actually saw the real Imperial Green. This stone is worth at least one billion dollars. It is really enviable."
"This young man is really amazing. Everyone is not optimistic about this stone. Only he paid 1 million to get this stone. Now that it is Imperial Green. How much money he can make!"
"He’s really something. One million changes to one billion. This kind of terrifying rate of return is probably not in history."
...
Everyone was talking about it, and cast admiration glance at Casey.
Abraham and Caleb both had pale faces. Abraham just pretended to praise Casey humbly, saying that although Casey was a good appraiser, he was still a bit worse for gambling on the stones. He didn't expect that there was a slap on his face so soon.
Moreover, No. 36 stone was a stone that everyone disdained. But only Casey took a fancy to it. Even Abraham was very sure that this stone could not have good material, but Casey insisted on auctioning this stone.
This proved that Casey was really much better than all the people present today.
Compared with Casey, Abraham was nothing
If Casey hadn't come today, such a stunning stone would be regarded as rubbish and thrown into the trash can.
"Master, who is Casey... on earth? Why can he see through what we can't? Is he really just a person about my age?"
Caleb stared at Casey blankly. He lost to Casey twice, which made him start to doubt himself.
Abraham stared at Casey with emotion. By now, he didn’t have any grudge against Casey, because Casey's level was far higher than him.
When a person's excellence could be seen, the people around him would be jealous and would want to surpass him to prove themselves.
But when a person’s excellence far exceeded those around him, then those people would admire him. This was an admiration from the bottom of their heart. Because they knew that no matter how hard they worked, they couldn’t surpass this person.
Abraham was in this state of mind now. He had realized that he had no qualifications to compare with Casey. Whether it was gambling on stones or appraising treasures, Casey was the truly master. Abraham was only more famous in J City. Compared with the real master, he was still far behind.
"Perhaps he is the genius. Some people are born to be much better than us. Even if we’re jealous, we can’t reach their level." Abraham murmured.
Caleb clenched his fists. He looked at Casey fiercely. He was as the same age as Casey. Besides, he was regarded as an excellent boy by others since he was a child. He thought he could be compared with Casey.
But after staring at Casey for a while, Caleb's fist loosened again. A sense of powerlessness appeared on his face. He knew that even if he spent his entire life chasing Casey, he might not be able to catch up.
Moreover, he could only continuously improve himself in appreciating treasures, while Casey was proficient in everything, which was not something that he could surpass Casey with hard work.
