My master gave me a death mission: to go down the mountain and retrieve his granddaughter.

Su Muchen and his companions stopped thinking about the fake "Stone King" and soon arrived at the display case of the second "Stone King".

In front of the second "King of Stones" display case, few people paid attention to this raw stone that had been ranked second for thousands of years. Even if someone came over, they would only take a quick look before moving on to the display case of the first "King of Stones".

"Brother Su, this is the second 'King of Stones.' It's a semi-gamble piece. Judging from the window it has, the jadeite inside is clearly just ordinary glass-type jadeite, not even reaching the level of top-grade jadeite. The reason it's called the 'King of Stones' is simply because its size is large enough to make up for its lack of quality."

As Qian Yutang said, the second "Stone King" is indeed large, a full size larger than the first "Stone King," almost as tall as an adult. Its overall size is like a water tank, and its weight is at least twice that of the first "Stone King."

"Indeed, this second 'Stone King' is quite large. I just wonder if its interior is as large as the first 'Stone King'."

Su Muchen was immediately drawn to the size of the rough stone upon seeing it, and did not use his divine sense to scan it right away.

"Then I'll trouble you, Brother Su, to help me check if this 'King of Stones' is made of genuine high-quality materials."

"no problem……"

Su Muchen immediately pretended to seriously examine the raw stone, but in reality, he was using his divine sense to scan it.

"Huh... what's this...?"

"Brother Su, what's wrong? Could there be something wrong with this 'King of Stones' too?"

Seeing Su Muchen's puzzled expression, Qian Yutang's heart leaped into his throat.

"Haha... Brother Qian, don't worry, this piece of jade is excellent, unlike the first 'King of Stones'."

"Really? Brother Su, you mean this rough stone actually contains jadeite, and isn't just a stone."

"That's right, and not only that, the quality of the jade exposed through the surface window is indeed not ideal, but..."

Su Muchen paused deliberately at this point, leaving a cliffhanger.

"Brother Su, but what? Tell me!"

"However, apart from the outer layer of glassy jadeite, the glassy jadeite inside has reached the highest quality, which means that the inside of this rough stone is full of top-quality jadeite."

"What? Is the quality really that good?"

"Brother Qian, do you think I would lie to you? The real 'King of Stones' should be this one. If you can win the bid for this 'King of Stones,' your company won't have to worry about supply for a long time to come."

"Hahaha... Brother Su, you're truly my lucky star! Once I acquire this 'King of Stones,' I'll definitely repay you handsomely!"

How could Qian Yutang not be happy? The first "King of Stones" that he valued had turned out to be a "jade-encased stone" rip-off, which already made him a little frustrated.

Unexpectedly, this turned out to be a blessing in disguise. The real "King of Stones" was actually the second one, and no one else knew about it, which allowed him to easily acquire the real "King of Stones".

"Alright, Brother Qian, don't be too obvious, lest someone with ulterior motives notice. What you should do now is keep a low profile and pretend that your attention is focused on the first 'Stone King'."

Seeing Qian Yutang's excited expression, Su Muchen had no choice but to remind him.

"Yes, yes, Brother Su is right. I need to keep a low profile and absolutely cannot let anyone know about this. After I win the bid for this 'King of Stones,' hehe!"

Qian Yutang could already foresee the astonished looks on everyone's faces when he won the bid for the rough stone and cut it open on the spot.

"Alright, Brother Qian, we've finished looking at the two 'King Stones.' Let's go check out the other items. Would you like to come with us, or...?"

Su Muchen and his companion were not aiming for these two "King Stones," but rather for all the other raw stones at the auction, so they naturally wanted to learn about them all.

"Brother Su, my target is these two 'King Stones.' I'm not very interested in the other items, so I won't go with you guys. I'll go back to the first 'King Stone' and make a show of it, so everyone will think my target hasn't changed. Then I'll give that guy surnamed Chen a good swindle."

Qian Yutang is really wicked. He knows perfectly well that this first "Stone King" is a trap that will ruin people, yet he still acts so enthusiastic. It seems that someone is going to be swindled out of their entire fortune.

"Alright, Brother Qian, take it easy. See you later!"

After saying goodbye to Qian Yutang, Su Muchen and Liu Ziyan examined each of the raw stones that were up for auction, one by one, in the order of the items.

Of course, the observation Su Muchen is referring to here is not about looking with his naked eye. Every time he passes a rough stone, Su Muchen scans it with his divine sense. Whether there is green inside the rough stone and what its quality is are instantly presented in his mind.

In fact, Su Muchen didn't need to go to such trouble. This exhibition hall wasn't very big, and his divine sense was enough to cover the entire hall. He only needed to use his divine sense to see through the condition of all the raw stones on the display stand at the same time.

The reason for all this trouble is that Liu Ziyan is there. Liu Ziyan always thought that Su Muchen had a strong affinity for jade because he was a martial artist, and she didn't know that Su Muchen actually had the ability to see through raw stones.

"Mr. Su, after browsing around, have you found any items that interest you?"

While examining each item, Liu Ziyan almost couldn't help but ask questions, but seeing that Su Muchen maintained a calm demeanor, she ultimately held back.

Now that she had finally seen all the auction items, Liu Ziyan could no longer hold back and immediately asked about the situation.

"This auction was of a very high standard. The items were all carefully selected, and most of them contained green jade. Moreover, the jade inside most of the rough stones was of good quality. I also had my eye on a few pieces. If the bidding prices aren't too outrageous, acquiring these few pieces will be enough to achieve our goal."

All the items in this auction have been authenticated by many gem experts, and there is not a single rough stone that does not contain green. Of course, this does not mean that these rough stones will necessarily increase in value after being cut, since no one knows what is inside before they are cut open.

Those expert stone appraisers only make a rough judgment based on the external appearance of these rough stones, and then price them.

"Really? Mr. Su, that means I've kept my position as chairman, and I don't have to give up the empire my father worked so hard to build."

As Liu Ziyan spoke, she began to sob softly, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

"Ms. Liu, there's no need to get too excited. As I said, with me here, I won't let you lose your position as chairman. Next, we just need to bid for enough rough stones so that we can shut up those shareholders at tomorrow's shareholders' meeting."

As Su Muchen spoke, he reached out to wipe away Liu Ziyan's tears, but when he raised his hand, he felt it was too ambiguous and stopped in mid-air, looking slightly embarrassed.

Liu Ziyan also noticed Su Muchen's unusual behavior, and a blush appeared on her face as she quickly wiped away her tears.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Su, I lost my composure!"

"I understand how you feel. Let's go meet up with Qian Yutang. The auction is about to begin."

Soon, Su Muchen and his companion met up with Qian Yutang, and the people in the exhibition hall began to head towards the auction hall, where the auction was about to begin.
