Chapter 168: Chapter 168: Murder with a Vengeful Heart i

“All, I’m cutting it now, right now.”

The stone-cutter’s forehead broke out in a cold sweat as he hurriedly picked up the last stone and placed it on the cutting machine.

It had to be said that Master Zhang had a good eye; this stone turned out to be another high-grade jade.

Three stones viewed and all three had yielded a profit, and the quality of each was quite decent.

With such discerning ability, it was no wonder he was valued by Treasure Mansion.

Seeing this, Master Zhang also breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, “Young Master Nathan, another high-grade jade has emerged. We are sure to win this time.”

“Mm.”

Nathan Humphrey’s expression eased slightly; he didn’t think Greg Jensen could be that lucky to have all three stones be more valuable than his own.

His three stones combined already exceeded Jensen’s by twenty to thirty thousand. If Jensen’s third stone didn’t yield anything or the quality wasn’t as good, then he would definitely win.

He opened his mouth intending to say a few polite words but, recalling the recent events, he shut it again.

“Another high-grade jade, Brother Greg, we…”

Worry was written all over Spencer Burley’s face. After revealing two good pieces, he had thought they would surely win, but to his surprise, all three chosen by the other side turned out to be high-grade jade.

This was a big problem!

“Brother Greg, can we still find something in this one?” Spencer couldn’t help but ask aloud.

He knew his question was a bit silly; Nathan Humphrey could keep winning bets because his family was in the business.

It had already been quite difficult for Greg Jensen to win twice, yet here he was hoping for yet another good find, which was asking for too much.

Spencer sighed and said, “Let it be, if we lose, we lose. It’s just two million; I’ll pay it myself.

Later, I’ll hold them off, and you guys make a run for it.”

Gazing at his dispirited appearance, Greg Jensen couldn’t help but grin and said, “Who said we’ve definitely lost?”

“Alt, does that mean… there’s something in this stone as well?”

“Of course, if there was nothing inside, why would I choose it?”

Seeing Jensen’s calm demeanor, Spencer instinctively doubted him for a moment, but then, recalling the previous two stones, felt his confidence surge again.

“Mm, this one will definitely pay off as well.”

Spencer declared firmly, “Brother Greg, we don’t need another apple green in this stone, as long as it’s high-grade jade, we’ve won.”

“Uh, it’s probably not high-grade jade.”

“All?”

Spencer’s recently bolstered morale deflated once again as he gave a bitter laugh, “Whatever, let it be whatever it is.”

Jensen’s gaze was peculiar as he wondered, “What’s with that expression? I said it’s not high-grade jade, but I didn’t say it’s definitely worse.”

“What do you mean?” Spencer asked blankly.

Adrian Wright couldn’t bear to watch and chided with a laugh, “What Brother Greg is trying to say is that the jade inside this stone is better than high-grade jade.”

“Really?”

“Do I need to lie to you?”

Jensen smiled and gestured towards the cutting machine, “Real or fake, won’t you know in just a moment?”

Spencer looked up in a daze only to see a thick mist rising once again in front of the cutting machine.

“Holy shit, it’s fogging up again!”

“Could it be another high-grade jade?”

“The color doesn’t seem like it…”

Amidst the commotion of the rich second-generations, the stone-cutter successfully split the stone in half, and the jade inside was laid bare in front of everyone.

Suddenly, the warehouse fell into complete silence!

Including Humphrey and Master Zhang, everyone’s eyes were wide open in disbelief.

“Is… is this Daisy Young?”

“My God, they actually found Daisy Young? How lucky can one get?”

“One or two pieces could be luck, but hitting premium goods on three in a row, haven’t you realized it? He’s the real big shot.”

It was only at this moment that the group of rich second generation heirs finally understood, Greg Jensen’s ability to unveil glass types and high-quality jade had nothing to do with luck.

It was entirely due to skill, which is why he could unveil so many good things.

That’s Daisy Young!

Something that hasn’t been seen in so many years!

Master Zhang was dumbfounded, and it took a long time for him to come to his senses. Staring at Nathan Humphrey’s sullen face, he didn’t even dare to breathe heavily.

Now that’s what you call a complete crash!

A reputation built up over many years, and to think it was ruined by a young man.

If he had known this would happen, he rather would have pretended to be sick and stayed at home.

Nathan Humphrey was astonished, staring blankly at the piece of Daisy Young, his face so dark it seemed as if water could drip from it.

He knew he had lost, and lost miserably.

With his experience, he could naturally tell that the Daisy Young Greg Jensen had unveiled was worth at least two to three hundred thousand.

The three high-quality jades he had unveiled himself wouldn’t match up to that one piece of Daisy Young.

Thinking of the cost of losing his bet, Nathan Humphrey felt as if his heart had died, his body swayed, and he almost sat down on the ground.

In contrast, Spencer Burley was so excited that he was about to cry.

Just now, he had even thought that if he lost, he would simply default on the bet, saying that he couldn’t let Greg and his sister get involved no matter what.

But the turnaround came so suddenly.

He didn’t just win, but he won without any dispute.

Daisy Young!

A single piece of Daisy Young was worth more than Nathan Humphrey’s three high-quality jades combined; even if Nathan Humphrey wanted to default, he couldn’t find a reason.

Louisa Burley didn’t understand these things. Seeing the smile on her brother’s face, she couldn’t help asking, “Greg, did we win?”

“Yes, we won, this is Daisy Young…”

Spencer Burley, excited like a child who had gotten a new toy, went on endlessly about his poor jade knowledge.

Louisa Burley didn’t quite follow, but she also understood that Daisy Young was incredibly valuable, and Greg had won the bet.

Watching Greg’s calm and collected demeanor, Louisa Burley couldn’t help but feel a range of strange emotions and an inexplicable sense of security.

The few people who had won the gambling were all very happy, even Adrian Wright, who was usually quite reserved, couldn’t help but ask provocatively, “Nathan Humphrey, what do you have to say now?”

Nathan Humphrey glared at Greg Jensen with a sinister look, his voice cold, “You’re very good at playing the fool, aren’t you?”

Greg Jensen smiled with a teasing tone, “You’re overthinking it, this is actually my first time betting on stones.”

“You…”

Nathan Humphrey’s face was ashen, veins bulging on his forehead, evidently he was furious to the extreme.

Was this a killing move aimed at the heart?

He wished he could kill Greg Jensen right now, to vent the rage in his heart.

“The two million has been transferred!”

Nathan Humphrey fiddled with his phone for a moment and then, after tossing out a cold statement, planned to turn around and leave.

Seeing this, Spencer Burley immediately objected, saying lazily, “Are you planning to go back on your word, young master Humphrey?”

Nathan Humphrey’s body halted, his face dark as he said, “I’ve already paid the bet. What more do you want?”

Spencer Burley sneered, “That was the bet between you and Greg, but our seen bet was to crawl to the door on your knees and bark like a dog!”

“You… do you want to die?”

“Sure, try to touch me!”

Spencer Burley’s expression also cooled, the Burley family’s strength was about the same or even stronger than the Humphrey family’s, so he really wasn’t afraid of a direct confrontation.

Nathan Humphrey’s mouth twitched slightly as he said, “Add another million.”

Spencer Burley scoffed, “Do you think I’m short of that million?”
