The area of raw jade stone in the mall.

This was the most popular place in the mall. Yutian County was famous for the raw jade stone, so the people of Yutian County naturally had great enthusiasm for it.

Gambling stone was a very addictive thing. Many people were addicted to it, hoping that one day they would get rich on gambling stone.

In many years of gambling stone, many people in Yutian County got rich relying on gambling stone. If they were lucky, they would have not to worry about food and clothing for this life.

"Gambling stone is not difficult. I have always stayed with Leonardo for so long, I have known how to identify it, if now I quick working for Leonardo and have gamble on stone, I can earn enough money for the rest of my life." Jaxon said proudly.

He usually followed Leonardo to deal with some problems about raw jade stone, but his job was to record and arrange shipping.

The raw stone were selected by Leonardo’s experienced man. Jaxon followed them and learnt a bit of it.

If he really gambled on stone, with his low level, he would lose all his money.

"Wow, Jaxon, you are awesome. Let’s buy a raw stone, maybe we can make a big fortune." Flora said with shining eyes.

Jaxon was immediately embarrassed. He just bragged and didn't expect Flora was serious.

Although the price of raw jade stone was much cheaper than jade, but it was not cheap. The one with good color and lustre seemed to have a big chance, but it costs hundreds of thousands.

But he had already said it out and it would be hard to take it back.

What was more, Casey and Edith were still here, so he could not let Flora lose face. Since Flora said that she wanted to buy a raw stone, he could only agree.

Four people walked to an exhibition area for raw stones. Flora and Jaxon seriously looked at the raw stone and wanted to pick out a piece of treasure.

Casey took a rough glance at the raw stones and said with a smile, “The color and density of the stones are bad, basically they are not good material. It is estimated that mall is too attract those with amateur level. The stones with good materials would not have been placed here, but sold by auction."

Hearing that, Edith widened her eyes, looking at Casey, “Do you know it?"

Casey said with a smile, “I studied it when I was idle. Jade is as same as antiques. My perspective on stone is as good as antiques."

Edith knew Casey’s attainments in antiques. Last time, the first treasure master in J City lost to him, so it could be told that Casey had a high level.

Now he said his level of on jade was the same as that on antiques, Edith did not doubt it.

She was just curious how many skill did her man have.

In a short while, Jaxon took a fancy to a stone with good color. There was green light on the surface on the stone, which was a sigh of existence of jade.

Jaxon looked around and picked it up after confirming no one was paying attention to this stone.

"Flora, we are lucky, this stone is a jade. See, from the surface, you can see the color inside, there must be jade!" Jaxon was excited.

Flora did not know about time, but hearing Jaxon said so, she widened her eyes.

"But honey, since this stone is a jade, why didn't those people notice this stone?" Flora asked.

Jaxon immediately laughed and said, “This stone has placed here just now, no one has come over. We are lucky and we happened to see it. If it is a jade, we can sell it for millions."

At that time many people noticed the stone in Jaxon’s hand. They approached to observe it and immediately began to praise.

"Sir, you have good perspective, this stone must be a jade."

"Yes, the skin is green. This kind of stone is rare. Sir, do you want it? If you don’t want it, can I have it?"

"I'm not so lucky. I wish I had seen this stone."

...

Listening to the praise of all, Jaxon believed this stone must be a jade, so he was pleased.

Casey took a look at the stone and noticed that although the stone was green, the color was different from the normal jade.

Because Casey understood well about stone gambling, he knew for one kind of stone, the businessman fabricate a color to deceive customers.

It made a shallow hole in the raw stone, injected green dye and sealed it, which made people believe it was green from the surface.

This stone was clearly a colored stone.

People present were at the amateur level, so they didn’t know about the truth and thought Jaxon was lucky.

"This stone is not good material. You'd better not buy it." Casey said.

Jaxon looked at Casey in scorn and said, “What do you know? You only bought your wife a processing bag, how can you know which stone is good. I followed Leonardo for so long, I can tell which stone is good."

He immediately turned to the staff and said, “How much is it, I will take it."

Seeing this, the staff immediately ran over and said with a smile on his face, “Sir, you have a good perspective. This stone is of the most opportunity to be a jade on the field today. If you want it, I will give you a discount, which is 300,000."

Hearing it cost 300,000, Jaxon hesitated, after all it was a lot, which was equivalent to his half a year's wages.

Casey found Jaxon was determined to buy this stone, he reminded, “This stone is not as good as you think, if you buy it, you will regret."

Jaxon hesitated. Hearing Casey said that, he got angry and said, “Son of bitch, I gotta buy this stone. You know nothing. I think you are jealous that I will make a lot of money. What? You can’t afford it and you don't want me to buy it?"

Hearing that, Casey pressed his lips and ignored him.

If he wanted to be cheated, let him buy his lesson.

Flora took a disdainful look at Casey and said, “You are just a loser relying on your wife. How dared you say that? Jaxon has worked for Leonardo, how can he be wrong? I think you are jealous."

The people around looked at Casey with disdain, feeling Casey was jealous of Jaxon, so he was mischievous deliberately.

The staff was naturally clear about the stone's tricks, what Casey said was equivalent to interfering with his business, he was quite unhappy.

“Sir, don’t talk nonsense if you don’t buy it. Stone gambling is gambling. Even if there's hope, no one knows what's inside until it's cut open. If you say that, you're directly interfering with our business. If you say that again, I'll have to ask the security guards to drive you out." Said the staff.

"I think you ought to drive him out now." Flora said.

"Do you want it or not. If you don’t, I'll buy it." At that moment a man spoke.

Jaxon said immediately, “Yes, why not? I'll pay by credit card and cut after the payment."

He handed the bank card to the staff. The staff happily swiped the card, and issued invoice to Jaxon after receiving the money, and then he said with a smile, “Sir, remember stone gambling is gambling. Even if there is hope, it may not be the same as you think."

Jaxon was confident and said, “This stone must be jade. I bought it with three hundred thousand, and I can sell it for millions."

The staff smiled in his heart, seeing that Jaxon was confident, and then he asked his man to cut the stone.

Jaxon turned to look at Casey and said with smile, “The price of this stone is doubled. Just be jealous, but it is useless. You don't have to hope that it is not good material. In my experience, the stone can make money!"

Flora said, “Only powerful man like Jaxon can make a lot of money, unlike you, buy a processing bag. Wait Jaxon sell this stone for a lot of money, and just envy it."

Casey was indifferent, thinking they would regret after the stone was cut.

Edith believed Casey. She touched the bag in her hand. From the texture, this bag was not like a processing bag, and she had never seen such a delicate processing bag.

Before long, the staff responsible for cutting stone cut Jaxon’s stone according to his idea.

Jaxon stared at the stone. When he saw the cut surface of the stone was ordinary after cutting, he immediately became panic.

"No, this Angle is wrong, cut in another direction." Jaxon said.

The staff immediately changed direction, and the result was the same. Except for a little green on the skin, the rest of it was just a plain stone.

Jaxon immediately became dumbfounded. He spent three hundred thousand to buy a piece of ordinary stone.

"Honey, this stone seems to have no difference with ordinary stone, can it really sell for millions?" Flora asked doubtfully.

Jaxon immediately shouted, “Son of bitch, this broken stone can't even sell ten yuan! I got cheat!"

Those people said it was good material shut up immediately, and the man wanted to buy it felt he was lucky. Fortunately, Jaxon bought it, otherwise he would lose his money.

Jaxon immediately looked to the staff and shouted, “You liar, compensate me money!"

The staff rolled his eyes at him and said, "As I told you at that time, stone gambling is a gamble. No one knows what the inside is like until it is cut open. Besides, we have a clear price. It was you wanted to buy it. Don’t blame for others if it is not good.”

Jaxon clenched his fists, but he had no reason to argue with the staff.

He felt his eyes on Casey and said angrily, “It is your fault, you cursed me. If it weren't for your nonsense, this stone must be good material. You compensate me three hundred thousand!"

Casey took a look at him and said, “I reminded you, it was you insisted to buy it. The stone could not be changed because of my words. Otherwise I would have become the richest man in the world."

"Fuck you! I don't care, you have to pay me!” Jaxon was angry, that was half a year's of his salary. Now it was in vain, he sure was distressed.

"Don't be nonsense. Casey kindly advised you, but you blamed him. You are shameless." Edith said.

Jaxon bit his teeth. Knowing that it was his bad, he could only scold Casey in his heart.

"Wait and see. You'll suffer later."Jaxon said gritting teeth.

They left the stone gambling area. Jaxon and Flora were gloomy on face, thinking they had lost money because of Casey’s bad words.

But to wait for retaliation on Casey and Edith, Jaxon didn't argue with them.

"It is just three hundred thousand, I don't care about it, it is just half a year's salary. Even if I lost three hundred thousand, I am still better than Casey, who is only willing to buy a processing bag for his woman." Jaxon comforted himself.

"Honey, you are right. You are much better than Casey." Flora said and took a look at Edith, “Edith, you still take the processing bag this loser bought you. What a shame. You better throw it away, lest you will be laughed at."

Edith took a look at the bag in her hand and said, “I think this bag is very good, at least looks more beautiful than yours."

Flora pressed her mouth and said, “You know nothing. Yours is a processing bag. It is useless even if it is beautiful."

At this time a few girls passed by them. The girls exclaimed when they saw Edith’s bag.

"This is a limited edition bag from the store. It costs a quarter of a million. Wow, I'm so envious of her carrying such an expensive bag!"

"Yes, this bag is really beautiful, but it is too expensive to afford."

"I think her boyfriend bought it for her. That's great. When will I have a boyfriend like that?"
