It was an intensely vibrant green, pure and flawless, like the deepest, most secluded green pool, or a primeval forest. The water was incredibly clear, its unique radiance flowing gently, possessing a domineering, unbearable beauty—
Imperial Green!
After a brief period of silence, the small jade market erupted in a huge gasp!
"Holy crap—this is incredible! It's imperial green!!"
"It's truly an eye-opener... This green color is truly worthy of the title of emperor, so noble and so domineering!"
"This water is incredible! It's so bright it's almost dazzling!"
Amidst the most enthusiastic cheers from the surroundings, Diao Dalong's legs buckled, and he almost collapsed to the ground—
That can't be!
That was just something I used to deceive people; how could I possibly cut out such a high-grade imperial green jade?
This is insane!! The whole world has gone mad!
Amidst the clamor and excitement, Lin Jicheng stepped forward, casually picked up a piece from the stone that had been cut in half, and displayed it to everyone:
"As you can all see, I just cut out quite a lot of jade. I really can't handle so much good material by myself. How about this, I'll only take half of this imperial green jade. The other half that I have now will be auctioned off on the spot, and the highest bidder wins!"
"The starting bid is—twenty million!"
These words caused an even bigger stir!
Even just half a piece of this imperial green jadeite is a top-tier and extremely rare treasure! A single bracelet cut from it can fetch eight figures at auction, let alone half a stone weighing two or three tons. The jade artifacts that can be made from it are simply incalculable in value!
"Twenty-two million!"
"Twenty-eight million!"
Thirty million!
Prices have skyrocketed, and Lin Jicheng, who initially spent 20 million to buy this large pile of stones, has now completely recouped his investment!
While the surrounding stall owners were arguing heatedly, Diao Dalong was internally devastated.
His eyes were bloodshot, as if he wanted to stare a hole through the jade!
These jade artifacts... these treasures...
It clearly belonged to him!
However, he took the initiative to sell them at a low price!
This is even more infuriating than the fact that these stones never belonged to him!
Burning with rage, Diao Dalong could no longer bear it and roared:
"Two million, give me that thing!"
Two million?
This price was clearly too different from the prices offered by the other vendors, and Yi Songchun spoke up first:
"Who's bidding against this? And the price keeps going down! Do you even know what an auction is?!"
"Exactly, exactly! If you don't want to buy it, then don't worry about all this!"
Shi Zhuoyan, who had been brutally beaten and pinned to the ground, felt that he had regained his strength and became energetic again. He joined the battle and began to curse angrily!
Seeing that no one was listening to him, Diao Dalong became enraged! A wicked glint flashed in his eyes, and a silver light gleamed in his hand—
He actually pulled out a large cleaver from his lower back!
In an instant, the dozen or so henchmen around him also drew their broadswords! Each one looked furious!
"What!!"
"What is this?!"
The surrounding stall owners, who were initially focused on bidding, were taken aback by the other party's aggressive bidding and involuntarily took two steps back!
The moment danger appeared, Lin Jicheng's bodyguards tried to approach, but before they could make a move, Lin Jicheng secretly signaled to them to stay put and not reveal their identities.
Several bodyguards continued to blend discreetly into the crowd of onlookers, appearing as mere curious onlookers. However, the atmosphere in the entire jade market had become incredibly tense.
“We’ve been doing business together in this area for years, so if there’s any disagreement in business, we can talk it out calmly. Please, no need for knives…”
Several self-proclaimed prominent and experienced jade market vendors rushed forward to persuade him, but little did they know that this time, Boss Diao was serious!
"Everyone, stand back!"
Diao Dalong roared angrily, his eyes bloodshot:
"This imperial green jadeite was originally mine! Who dares to take it from me?!"
As he spoke, he brandished the knife fiercely in front of Lin Jicheng twice:
"If you understand the situation, quickly hand over that piece of imperial jade with both hands, and you can still get two million and leave! Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"
It was clear that the burly man was truly driven to desperation.
Losing such a huge fortune has completely warped his mind! No matter what method he uses, whether it's cheating or threatening violence, he just wants to take back the wealth that was once in his hands!
Yi Songchun was terrified by the other party's fierce appearance, but still stepped forward to try to persuade him. At this moment, Shi Zhuoyan also rushed in front of Lin Jicheng, opening his arms wide.
"Cash on delivery! This boss has paid for all your jade materials, and it's clearly written in black and white in the contract. You can't deny it!"
"Ha! I'm going to force you to buy and sell today, so what?! What can you do about it?!"
Diao Dalong smiled maliciously, pointed to his dozen or so henchmen, and then to the large group of bosses watching around them:
"Don't even mention you bunch of weaklings who look like you can't lift a finger—"
"In this entire jade market, who among you dares to go against me?!"
