"Hundred and twenty crores wasted just because of a rock. What a pity..." Das commented after seeing the sad face of the buyer.

"Das, that's common in Jade gambling. If he could find the real jade inside that rock, he could have earned triple the amount of his investment." Ria said with a stoic face.

A bald man in the first row bought the second stone for one hundred and ten crores. But sadly, that second stone is also an empty rock.

Das got interested after seeing the lavender jade inside the third rock, which is being prepared for auction.

Sixty crores, seventy crores, eighty, hundred...

The price stooped at hundred and ten crores. Das directly raised the price by twenty crores and won the bid for the third rock.

"Do not cut it; use the machine to remove the layers one by one." Das instructed the men on stage while looking at the jade shape, inside the rock.

"Sir, for that, you need to pay another five percent extra." The cutting person said with a grumpy look as layering needs more skill.

Das agreed without asking any questions. Even though Ria didn't know where Das got the money to buy all these, she kept her thoughts to herself without asking any more questions. For now, she is just enjoying his company.

Some people are giving weird looks to Das because of his request—the stone cutting is taking too much time. But before they lashed out their tongues, a beautiful lavender jade surfaced after only a few layers.

People started looking excitedly as everyone was waiting to see the first jade stone at tonight's auction. The person who is layering the stone also became alert after seeing the shiny, glass-like lavender jade inside the rock.

The people stared, making loud noises, and cheering girls started shouting with more enthusiasm.

"How did you know that there was jade inside...?" Ria asked with a curious look.

"It's just gambling..." Das replied with a mysterious look.

Max, who is on stage, continued to congratulate Das on the microphone.

"Hmmhh, it's just a lavender jade, but these people are acting hysterically." Jethin commented with a scornful face.

"Jethin, stop talking like that. That young man can earn more than six hundred crores because of that lavender jade. Look at the jade; because of layering, the lavender jade will be more worthy. Learn from that young man."

Praveen Verma, Jethin's father, preached to him in a lecturing tone. Jethin was disappointed with his father's words. Sadly, his fiancée is also staring at Das with a curious gaze.

Das suddenly gave a sly wink to Ellen, which made her smile like a lolly.

"Das, you really hit the jackpot. That is the finest quality jade, but it will be more valuable if it is green jade." Ria commented while staring at the big, shining jade stone on the stage.

"What's the difference?" Das asked curiously, as he doesn't know much about Jades.

"The green jade could hold up the process of cutting and shaping. That's why most of the chains and crowns have green jades."

"Other jades, like lavender, black, and violet, won't withstand the polishing and cutting. But other jades will be used to make rings and small-scale ornaments like bracelets, etc.," Ria explained patiently.

"Ohh..." Das exclaimed after knowing the details.

"But whatever jade it is, you will earn a large sum in return." Ria added with a cheerful smile.

Soon the lavender jade was placed aside, and the auction for the fourth jade started with a bang. People continued to raise the bid as they experienced one successful event. Ria also tried to raise the bid, but Das stopped her.

"What are you doing? Old Granny said there is a jade in a fourth stone." Ria asked with a questioning look.

"How much money do you have?" Das asked in return.

"My first sister sent another fifty crores. Now I have a total of 100 crore." Ria replied honestly.

"Do you think the bidding will stop before 100 crore...?" Das asked with a deep look. Ria became silent after understanding his reason.

"Then should I ask my sister for more money?" Ria looked at Das for his reply.

"You don't need to do that. Wait for some more time. I will help you choose better jade. We will buy that one." Das replied while eating an apple brought by the servant girl.

"Why are you so confident about it? Can you see through those rocks or what?" Ria asked with a doubtful expression. Das got stupefied after listening to her question. Because he can exactly see through those rocks.

Ria laughed at his reaction, as she thought he was acting like that. Das released a sigh after seeing her laughing face.

The crowd started cheering again as green jade was found in the fourth stone. The bald buyer in the first row started making a loud noise.

"The old granny is 100 percent right." Ria commented with a disappointed face.

"Don't worry, we will find the better one. Look closely; it is not a perfect jade." Das said while pointing his finger. noVe-lb-In

Soon the commotion died down as the green jade was mixed with a lot of impure grey matter. Max immediately stopped the cutting process and moved on to auctioning the next stone.

"What about this stone? Should we buy it?" Ria asked with an eager look.

"No, it's just an empty rock." Das commented with a clown face.

As he mentioned, the fifth stone turned out to be a normal stone without any jade.

"How did you know that it was an empty rock?" Ria asked with a surprised expression.

"Instinct..."

Das replied calmly while scanning the next stone brought for auction.

"We will buy this one..." Das commented with a mysterious smile and signalled Ria to prepare for bidding.

While Das is enjoying the auction with a pretty girl, Another beauty is observing his every action from a long distance. Her eyes were longing to meet him urgently.

She is Natalia, the zero-sized beauty who is under a lot of stress because of the sudden appearance of Das.
