If Lin Luo had left the booth after seeing the piece of jadeite, they could have assumed that he had given up the piece of jadeite, but it was obvious that Lin Luo still wanted the piece. Not only did he openly ask about it, but he also stood not far from it after the stall owner asked him to wait. The pair of customers and the stall owner forcibly traded the jadeite that Lin Luo had already expressed interest in out from under him, which broke the rules of the Gambling Stone Rally.

“Hurry up, it will be too late for you to hand it in on your own after the monitoring is pulled by us.” The short man also added.

The stall owner never thought that in addition to his own recorder, the organizer also installed more monitoring in the market, let alone that there was a monitoring device right behind him. He was startled to know that everything that had happened just now had been recorded, and it was useless for him to struggle and quibble any longer. This time, his plan to lie about not carrying a recorder was completely in vain. If he continued to resist any more, the market supervisors would just punish him more severely.

Although reluctant to do so, the stall owner begrudgingly surrendered his personal recorder under the pressure of the two market supervisors. The stall owner’s recorder was different from the fixed-point security monitor and was worn directly on his own body.

The organizer asked the stall owners to all carry recorders in order to protect the stall owner’s interests when a guest wanted to forcefully buy or sell something. Unexpectedly, ended up being turned into evidence of his own transgression.

The tall man played the content of the booth owner’s recorder, and the picture recorded from the booth owner’s perspective was even more impactful. All the conversations of the people involved were clearly recorded, including Lin Luo’s inquiry and the stall owner’s impatience, as well as the whispered conversations between the couple and the stall owner both before and during the transaction.

It turned out that before Lin Luo and Xing Mo arrived at the shop, the stall owner and the owner of Galaxy Energy were discussing a cooperation. The man saw that the stall owner’s jadeite was very large and in good shape, and felt that his supply of jadeite was good. As such he planned to cooperate with him and directly work out a bulk sale of jadeite from him. That was why the stall owner was willing to risk breaking the rules and stood on the side of the man.

“Hurry up and complete the transaction with me, otherwise everything we talked about before will be void!” It was this sentence that put the stall keeper under pressure to complete the transaction with him.

However, the greedy stall owner didn’t know that the young man he inadvertently offended wasn’t as simple as he seemed.

The story of what happened next was already very clear. The owner of the company named Galaxy Energy was called Lu Chun, and the woman who accompanied him was his current girlfriend Cui XueLi. Cui XueLi was able to recognize Lin Luo from the StarNet reports she had read about him. She pressured Lu Chun to grab the gambling stone that Lin Luo was interested in simply because of his reputation. She wasn’t an insider and didn’t understand the rules of the industry, so she didn’t know that what she had proposed was an illegal trade. As the boss of an energy company however, Lu Chun couldn’t have failed to understand the rules. He had also heard of Lin Luo’s reputation though and knew that he was best at betting excellent quality jade out of ugly gambling stones.

Lu Chun came to participate in the Gambling Stone Rally this time, mainly by relying on the gambling team he hired. He really just came out with his girlfriend to play casually. He had no talent in gambling and was a person who would lose nine out of ten bets, but just enjoyed the feeling of gambling and all day long would crave the feeling of making a bet that would score a big win. That’s why at the instigation of his girlfriend he set his sights on Lin Luo’s gambling stone. He was the boss of Galaxy Energy, and Lin Luo’s PengCheng Energy Company was in a competitive relationship with them, so he didn’t feel at all embarrassed to grab something from a competitor. Moreover, in his opinion, Lin Luo wasn’t someone who seemed aggressive, and he looked like a person whose temper was sweet and soft. He estimated Lin Luo to be a person who wouldn’t want to make trouble. There were so many gambling stones around the shop that he figured Lin Luo would have no reason to fight him over the piece and would likely have no choice but to give up in the end.

Who would have known that Lin Luo wasn’t as easy going as he looked and was willing to directly confront them. He even insisted that they have a stone war with them. How could Lu Chun have the courage to wage a stone war with Lin Luo? Naturally, he refused immediately.

But just as he was thinking of slipping away, the market supervisors came…

After the tall man communicated with the market headquarters, he made a final judgment, “This conclusion for this incident is that the stall owner and Mr. Lu conducted an illegal transaction which harmed Mr. Lin’s rights. The stall owner is henceforth disqualified from participating in the rally and must immediately pack up their stall and leave Polis. As for Mr. Lu, the illegal transaction between you and the stall owner has been annulled. Please return the gambling stone you illegally obtained from Mr. Lin to the original owner, and the stall owner will refund the money obtained for the gambling stone to you in return. If you make the same mistake again, we will directly disqualify you from participating in the Gambling Stone Rally.”

The result of such a judgment wasn’t harsh. That said, the stall owner was almost in tears, and Lu Chun’s face was extremely ugly. He still had to do what the organizer asked of him though, after all, the even had been organized directly by the government of Polis itself. If they didn’t obey the judgment of the two market supervisors, there was a good chance that a team from Polis’s garrison would show up.

“You just wait!” Lu Chun said through clenched teeth as he returned the thunder stone to Lin Luo.

Lin Luo didn’t want to talk to such a person. According to the previous vendor’s offer, he directly transferred 600,000 credits to the other party before he and Xing Mo left with the stone.
