The Peremptory Casey Davies novel Chapter 204

Everyone was dumbfounded!

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the cut surface of No. 36 stone. The alluring green made everyone's heartbeat speed up a lot.

Everyone present had been in the gambling-stones circle for so many years. Naturally, they all know the value of Imperial Green very well. Just a stone as big as a fist could sell for hundreds of millions of dollars.

According to the volume of No. 36 stone, at least it could sell for more than 1 billion.

Compared with this stone, Benjamin's Glassie was nothing.

Benjamin, who was still in the excitement just now, was immediately dumbfounded when he saw that the No.36 stone had Imperial Green in it.

At that time, he mocked Leonardo couldn’t definitely defeat him today. Because in his opinion, No. 36 stone was a waste stone. It was impossible that there were good materials inside.

Not only did he think so, everyone at the scene all felt that No. 36 was a waste stone. After all, this stone looked too ordinary. It could even be said that No. 36 stone was the worst among all the stones present.

So everyone didn’t have any expectation to this stone.

But now there was Imperial Green inside this stone, which shocked everyone present. The shock feeling was just like an atomic bomb exploded in the crowd.

When Leonardo saw Imperial Green inside, his mouth and eyes all opened wide. Then, his whole body began to tremble.

"Imperial Green!!! Casey, it is Imperial Green! We got Imperial Green. I have been in the jade industry for so many years. This is the first time that I see Imperial Green with my own eyes. Casey, you are really my lucky star! "

Leonardo was so excited that he almost hugged Casey directly.

"It's really amazing. The stone actually has Imperial Green inside. This is the largest piece of Imperial Green in the history of Yutian County."

"My God, I actually saw the real Imperial Green. This stone is worth at least one billion dollars. It is really enviable."

"This young man is really amazing. Everyone is not optimistic about this stone. Only he paid 1 million to get this stone. Now that it is Imperial Green. How much money he can make!"

"He’s really something. One million changes to one billion. This kind of terrifying rate of return is probably not in history."

...

Everyone was talking about it, and cast admiration glance at Casey.

Abraham and Caleb both had pale faces. Abraham just pretended to praise Casey humbly, saying that although Casey was a good appraiser, he was still a bit worse for gambling on the stones. He didn't expect that there was a slap on his face so soon.

Moreover, No. 36 stone was a stone that everyone disdained. But only Casey took a fancy to it. Even Abraham was very sure that this stone could not have good material, but Casey insisted on auctioning this stone.

This proved that Casey was really much better than all the people present today.

Compared with Casey, Abraham was nothing

If Casey hadn't come today, such a stunning stone would be regarded as rubbish and thrown into the trash can.

"Master, who is Casey... on earth? Why can he see through what we can't? Is he really just a person about my age?"

Caleb stared at Casey blankly. He lost to Casey twice, which made him start to doubt himself.

Abraham stared at Casey with emotion. By now, he didn’t have any grudge against Casey, because Casey's level was far higher than him.

When a person's excellence could be seen, the people around him would be jealous and would want to surpass him to prove themselves.

But when a person’s excellence far exceeded those around him, then those people would admire him. This was an admiration from the bottom of their heart. Because they knew that no matter how hard they worked, they couldn’t surpass this person.

Abraham was in this state of mind now. He had realized that he had no qualifications to compare with Casey. Whether it was gambling on stones or appraising treasures, Casey was the truly master. Abraham was only more famous in J City. Compared with the real master, he was still far behind.

"Perhaps he is the genius. Some people are born to be much better than us. Even if we’re jealous, we can’t reach their level." Abraham murmured.

Caleb clenched his fists. He looked at Casey fiercely. He was as the same age as Casey. Besides, he was regarded as an excellent boy by others since he was a child. He thought he could be compared with Casey.

But after staring at Casey for a while, Caleb's fist loosened again. A sense of powerlessness appeared on his face. He knew that even if he spent his entire life chasing Casey, he might not be able to catch up.

Moreover, he could only continuously improve himself in appreciating treasures, while Casey was proficient in everything, which was not something that he could surpass Casey with hard work.

Benjamin looked at the materials inside No. 36 stone with unacceptability. He was a little dumbfounded.

He originally thought that he could take advantage of today's auction to defeat Leonardo, so that he could have his own business in the jade market in Yutian County. Moreover, he could compete with Leonardo in the jade business in the future.

But now he realized that all he had done had been a stepping stone for Leonardo. The stones he had auctioned tonight could indeed be sold at a good price. But Leonardo got Imperial Green. Everyone’ eyes were focused on Leonardo, so Leonardo's position in the jade circle of Yutian County would be more difficult to shake.

Maybe Benjamin could do some jade business in Yutian County, but Leonardo would always go ahead of him. As long as Leonardo wanted to, he could drive Benjamin out of Yutian County at any time.

"Mr. Benjamin, I'm so embarrassed. The No. 36 stone, which you are the least optimistic about, is actually Imperial Green. What’s more, it’s still such a huge one. It seems that God doesn't want me to lose to you. "Leonardo smiled and glanced at Benjamin.

Benjamin's face was gloomy. After glaring at Leonardo angrily, he didn't say anything in the end and directly left here.

Abraham and Caleb also felt shamed and left. This day was undoubtedly the darkest moment in their lives.

Leonardo saw that Benjamin was pissed off by him. His face was full of triumph. He turned to look at Casey and said with a smile, "Casey, it’s you who let me auction this stone. Then I give this stone to you. Take it away. I will never feel regretful. As long as Benjamin doesn’t succeed today, it will be my greatest victory."

Casey smiled and said, "It's just a stone. It’s not rare. Take it."

Leonardo was stunned. He didn't expect Casey was so less care about this stone. This was a rough jade stone, which was worth one billion dollars.

"Casey, this stone is worth a billion. I can't take it. It’s you who auctioned this stone. Just take it." Leonardo said.

"Just one billion. Is it too much?" Casey asked.

Leonardo was suddenly speechless. He looked at Casey in shock. How rich Casey was! This was a billion. But Casey actually felt that a billion was not too much?

"Don't worry. One billion is really not too much to me. You can keep this stone. If I ask you for help in the future, you can’t refuse." Casey said with a smile.

Leonardo expressed his gratitude immediately. He looked at Casey earnestly, and said, "Casey, you have my words. As long as I’m alive, I will definitely help you no matter what happens! "

Casey nodded, indicating that today's auction was also over and it was time to go back.

At this time, Leonardo's cell phone rang. His face suddenly sank when he answered the phone.

Seeing Leonardo like this, Casey felt a little weird, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

Leonardo hung up the phone and said, "Something went wrong with Edith."

Casey's calm face immediately sank, "What's wrong?"

"Casey, don't worry. Nothing happened to Edith. The six bodyguards I arranged solved the trouble. Let's go back first. We will know what happened after we go back." Leonardo said.

Casey nodded. Leonardo went to deal with his stone matters, and then went out of the exhibition hall with Casey and drove towards the county town.

In Huadu Hotel, Edith, Amara, and Nicolas were all staying in the presidential suite with some fear. What happened today really made them a little scared. If it weren't for the six people who appeared suddenly, they would suffer.

At this time, Casey appeared at the door. After opening the door, he was relieved to see that none of the three were hurt.

Seeing that Casey came back, Edith quickly stood up, ran towards Casey, and hugged him directly.

"Casey, I almost died today." Edith said.

Casey smiled and comforted, "It’s all right now, isn’t it? Don't worry. There is no danger. We will return to J City tomorrow."

Edith nodded. As long as Casey was her side, it would be the greatest safety.

"Daughter, you quickly separate from this wimp. Casey, you are really shameless. You even hugged Edith in front of us. Have we agreed?" Amara said unhappily.

Edith and Casey separated. Casey smiled embarrassedly. Edith glanced at Amara faintly, and said, "Mom, do I have to get your consent for everything? I'm over 20 years old."

Amara murmured. But in the end, she didn’t say anything.

Casey took a look at Edith and said, "You guys stay here first. I'll go out to take care of some things. I’ll come back soon."

Edith nodded, knowing that Casey might go out to deal with those who wanted to make trouble for them today.

At that time, Casey knew that Reuben was paid by someone to make trouble for them. Casey always liked to stamp out the root of trouble. Now that he planned to return to J City, he must solve the troubles here completely.

Casey would not spare the person who dared to make trouble for Edith!
