Chapter 102
The crowd gasped, and Renji’s a thousand
anger boiled ever as he slammed his fist down on the armrest of his chair. “Eight hundred
The crowd was stunned.
Everyone knew that Kenji was flipping out. It was no longer about the rock.
They then looked at Wilbur, curious to see what he would do next.
Wilbur fell silent for a while, before flashing a smile. “You sure are generous, Mr. Lilith. The rock’s yours.”
The crowd heaved a sigh of relief at last, even though they were less than satisfied with how things had turned out.
It felt like they had tasted a scrumptious dish, but the portion was far too small. They could not help but feel a little dissatisfied.
Some of the people who knew Kenji, however, were starting to worry for Wilbur on his behalf,
Kenji was known for his nasty temper, and Wilbur might be getting into trouble after stelling a nerve on him like that.
Just then, Kenji sneered and took a sip of tea.
The shop owner harried to the middle of the room to call out, “Mister Kenji Lilith has just purchased this rock at a price of eight hundred thousand dollars!”
The crowd broke out into applause.
A few of the veterans at this game knew that the rock was worth far less than what Kenji had just paid
It was the size of a basketball. Even if there was a piece of jade inside, it would be near impossible for it to be worth 800
thousand dollars.
Just then, the shop owner said to Kenji, “Mister Lilith, shall I cut it open?”
“Of course! What else are you supposed to do with it?” Kenji scoffed.
The shop owner nodded hurriedly, calling forthe rock to be cut open
The crowd moved in closer. Everyone was eager to know if Kenji would be able to make his money back. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Yet Kenji himself remained on his chair leisurely, as if he hardly cared about this.
He glanced around, looking at Wilbur.
Wilbur paid him no mind. He was starting to understand the kind of person Kenji was.
Wilbur was already planning to leave.
Yet just then, he spotted a few rocks next to the artificial pond in the backyard.
He channeled his spirit energy and looked into the rocks. One of them quickly caught his attention.
The rock was only about the size of a small bowl, but it was definitely high in spirit energy density.
In fact, it was a lot more valuable than the rock he had just been bidding on against Kenji.
Sensing that, he sat back down to wait
Just then, Kenji turned to Wilbur with a dark smile. “Say, buddy, where are you from? I don’t think I’ve seen you here before.”
“I’m just a nobody without much social standing,” Wilbur replied.
Kenji nodded with a mischievous expression on his face.
Just then, the rock had finally been cul open to reveal its contenis
“It’s white jade!”
“Wow, it looks pretty good.”
“Yes. There wasn’t much of a loss. It’s close to market price.”
As everyone talked amongst themselves, the shop owner handed a piece of jade around the size of a fist to Kenji with a smile, Congratulations, Mister Lilith! This is an excellent piece of white jade.”
Kenji took the piece of jade. He glanced at it for a while, then tossed it right onto the table.
The crowd cheered politely.
Everyone knew that Kenji had made a huge loss. The jade was worth a little over 100 thousand dollars at most. But they knew better than to say that and merely congratulated Kenji.
Just then, Wilbur pointed at the rock near the pond before saying to the shop owner, “Sir, how much for that one?” The crowd tumed around in surprise.
