The Peremptory Casey Davies novel Chapter 203

Because everyone felt that No. 36 stone was of little value, no one raised the price after Casey offered the price.

Benjamin originally wanted to raise the price, but he was afraid that Casey was deliberately setting him up. If Casey stopped raised the price after he raised the price, he would lose a lot. So he didn’t speak.

In the end, Leonardo got the stone with one million.

Casey was still a little happy. After all, if there were good jade materials in this stone, they would make a lot of money.

After not long, all the stones in the first round were auctioned. The second round of observation began.

The stone-cutting part would be carried out after all the rough stones were auctioned off, so Casey and Leonardo went to see a few more stones.

After the second round of auctions ended, everyone was excited when it came to the stone-cutting part.

After all, this part was the time to truly see whether there were good jade materials in the stones they auctioned off. Only when the stone was cut, they would know whether the stone was worth money. Before the stone was cut, everything was unknown.

Everyone gathered around the stone-cutting area, looking expectantly at the staff cut open the stone.

Of course, some people would choose not to cut the stone, but took the stone back and sold it directly. Sometimes it could be sold for some money if the stone was not cut. But as long as the stone was cut open, maybe they would lose hundreds of thousands.

Both Leonardo and Benjamin wanted to make themselves famous through the auction. Only when was there jade in the stone, the stone was easy to sell.

"Mr. Leonardo, in fact, you had the opportunity to prevent me from coming to Yutian County to get a slice of the cake. But unfortunately, you gave up on your own initiative. I have to thank you very much." Benjamin stood beside Leonardo and said with a smile.

Leonardo glanced at Benjamin and said, "The stone hasn't been cut yet. I think you should wait until you have cut it before you say this."

"Do you think there are no good jade materials in NO. 1 stone? Tell you, Mr. Abraham is sure that I can get good jade material from this stone. If I sell this stone, I will make a doubled profit. With the few stones you bought today, it is impossible to compare with me." Benjamin believed in himself.

"That's not necessarily." Casey on the side said.

Benjamin immediately sneered and said, "What? How can you compare with me? Just with your No. 36 stone? If you really think so, then I really have to laugh at you. "

Casey smiled without saying a word. He did not respond to Benjamin.

When Abraham and Caleb saw Casey like this, they felt that Casey was pretending to be calm.

"Just let him pretend for a while. After our stone is cut open, he will know how ridiculous he is." Caleb snorted coldly.

Abraham glanced at Casey triumphantly and said, "Casey, this time I will definitely pay back all the shame you gave me last time. Just wait and see."

After a while, the staff moved the stones that needed to be cut to the table one by one.

Naturally, the number one stone of Benjamin was the first to be cut.

Benjamin's face was full of excitement. This was his first time to cut the stone. If this stone could really have good jade materials inside, he would become famous in one fell swoop. He would have his own place in Yutian County in the future.

"Mr. Leonardo, I will let you see how you fail." Benjamin gave Leonardo a sneer again.

Leonardo curled his lips and didn't care about what Benjamin said. He believed Casey, who had never let him down.

Soon, the staff put the No. 1 stone into the machine to be cut. As the blade fell, the No. 1 stone was also cut open.

Everyone held their breath, and did not dare to make any noises for fear that they would affect the staff.

After that, the cut surface of the No. 1 stone was exposed in front of everyone.

Benjamin originally intended to express his excitement with cheers. But when he saw there was nothing inside, his excitement was suddenly gone.

There was only a little green at the edge of the whole front here. The rest was yellow ordinary stone.

Everyone present was shocked. Everyone thought that there were good jade materials inside. But the result was like this.

The smiling faces of Abraham and Caleb also froze in an instant. Both of them couldn't believe it. Looking at the stone, Abraham even wanted to rush to check if the staff took the wrong stone.

"It's impossible!" Abraham exclaimed, "How could this be the case in this stone? It should have good jade materials in it. It is impossible to have nothing."

"Master...Master, did you see it wrong?" Caleb's voice trembled.

Seeing this scene, Leonardo laughed immediately, and cast an admiring look at Casey.

"Casey, you are so amazing. This stone really doesn’t have anything good inside. If I hadn't listened to you, maybe this stone would have fallen into my hand." Leonardo said excitedly.

Casey just smiled and didn't say anything. After all, this was a piece of cake for him.

Everyone around looked at Casey in disbelief. At that time, they just mocked that Casey didn’t know how to gamble on stones. Now it seemed that Casey was really something.

"It's really amazing. He can actually see through it. How sharp his eyes are!"

"It's not just about eyes. It also requires a huge amount of knowledge and experience. It is really incredible for a young person to do it."

"The most important thing is courage. He has the courage to give up such a good stone. It's really not something ordinary people can do."

"Tsk-tsk, 180 million. Just bought an ordinary stone. What a pity!"

...

Benjamin was so regretful. Listening to these people's comments, he even wanted to smash that stone on his head.

He turned his head and glanced at Abraham. At this time, he felt that this so-called master was so unreliable. He would definitely not look for Abraham again next time.

Abraham was blushed with embarrassment. Just this stone proved that he was not as good as Casey.

"Mr. Benjamin, 180 million! Get nothing. But it doesn't matter. After all, it's your first time to gamble on stones. Just treat the money as your tuition. It’s just the tuition is a bit expensive." Leonardo gloated.

Benjamin glanced at Leonardo fiercely and said, "This is only my first stone. I auctioned so many stones. There is definitely a stone which has good jade materials. But you are different. You bought No. 36 stone for 1 million. It is absolutely impossible to have good jade materials in it."

"Yes, Casey, don't think that you are better than my master. You also bought a shit stone with 1 million. This can prove that you don't know how to gamble on stones." Caleb looked aggressively at Casey.

Abraham felt better when he heard Caleb's words.

"No. 36 stone must not have good things. Casey is nothing more than that. I don't need to belittle myself." Abraham muttered to himself.

With a playful smile on Casey's face, Casey thought that when No 36th stone was cut open, they might be even more desperate.

The staff continued to cut the stone. The rest stones Benjamin had auctioned off had good jade materials, which eased his grief and anger.

The stones that Casey asked Leonardo to auction all had good jade materials inside. By now, they two were evenly matched.

Of course, Leonardo could be regard to win a little, because the stone which cost Benjamin 180 million had nothing.

After a while, among the stones that Benjamin had auctioned, there was a Glassie, which made Benjamin very excited. Because this stone was worth money than Leonardo’s all stones.

His depression of losing 180 million dollars was also wiped out. He looked at Leonardo proudly again.

"I lost 180 million, so what? Just this stone can make me earn it back. You only have No. 36 stone. No matter what, you can't defeat me today!" Benjamin smiled.

Leonardo gritted his teeth, his face full of anger, "Don't be proud of yourself here. What if my stone has the stuff better than Glassie?"

A group of people burst into laughter. Obviously, they all felt that it was impossible that No. 36 stone had any good jade materials, let alone better than Glassie.

"Leonardo, don’t dream here. Your No. 36 stone is a waste stone. Unless there is a miracle, you should not count on it." Benjamin said with disdain.

Abraham's mood improved a lot when he saw that the stone was Glassie. He finally won a round back this time. It seemed that Casey couldn't beat him this time.

"Master, you are still awesome. That guy is not qualified to compare with you. He even treats a waste stone as a treasure. It’s so funny." Caleb mocked.

"Don't say that. Casey is still quite powerful, but he is still too young. He can’t be good at everything. This time I can finally defeat him." Although Abraham said humbly, his face was full of pride.

Casey didn't care about the opinions of the people around him, but asked someone to send the No. 36 stone over.

"Casey, can this stone really have good materials inside?" Leonardo asked Casey a little nervously.

"Just cut it open." Casey replied.

The staff put the No. 36 stone into the machine. Everyone held their breath again. This time they didn't count to see how good the raw material inside was, but just wanted to see how bad the stone was.

As the blade fell, No. 36 stone revealed a cut surface. A touch of emerald green caught people's eyes. When everyone saw this color, they were all shocked.

Abraham jumped up directly and exclaimed,

"Imperial Green! How is this possible!!!"
