After awakening her X-ray vision, the beautiful CEO couldn't sit still any longer.

"Hmph, what's so great about it? It's just an ice-type violet, only a bit bigger."

It is far from reaching the level of the highest grade of jadeite, the imperial purple of the glass type.

Only the Imperial Purple Glass variety can rival the Supreme Dragon Stone variety of jadeite.

Mr. Ye, would you dare to make a bet with me?

After Ye Tian finished dealing with Yu Wuren's matter, he returned to the Treasure Battle and Trade Fair venue, only to be challenged by someone.

As expected, fame brings trouble. Now, everyone in the venue who gambles on jade and stones is watching Ye Tian closely.

If you can defeat Ye Tian, ​​you will likely become the champion of this treasure trading tournament.

Fame, status, wealth, and beautiful women will follow.

"Everyone, before you issue your challenge, please carefully consider the treasures you possess and see if you are qualified to challenge Mr. Ye."

Zhuoma approached Ye Tian and coldly surveyed his face.

Many people silently retreated after hearing Zhuoma's words, because Ye Tian had offered a violet worth 2 million.

Unless one possesses something of extraordinary quality, how many people present are qualified to challenge Ye Tian?

"Mr. Ye, my Yuan blue and white porcelain was valued at 1.8 million yuan by the judging panel, ranking second in tonight's treasure-hunting event."

You'd better hold on to first place!

Zhuoma joked with a smile.

"Zhuoma, I really don't want to be in the limelight. I just want to keep a low profile, find the top-quality jade I want, and then send it back to someone who really needs it."

Looking at the menacing crowd around him, Ye Tian finally understood what it meant to have desires that are still but the winds never cease.

"Mr. Ye, wherever you are, you are destined to be the most dazzling person under the sun."

You probably don't have the genes for being low-key.

Zhuoma covered her mouth and giggled.

Zhuoma, who is ruthless in the eyes of others, is like a shy little woman in front of Ye Tian.

This scene nearly made everyone in the Ghost Market who knew Zhuoma drop their jaws in astonishment.

In a secluded corner of the Treasure Battle Trading Conference venue.

"What's going on with you guys? How could you let Zhuoma's people win first place in the Treasure Trading Competition?"

"Don't you understand why the boss ordered you to suppress Zhuoma? How could you let Zhuoma steal the spotlight?"

A man completely concealed in a black robe shouted sternly.

Ghost Market Boss Tang explained obsequiously, "Don't worry, Special Envoy, I've already made arrangements. I haven't even used my trump card yet."

Nowadays, only Zhuoma strongly opposes the ghost market, preventing our counterfeit antiques from flowing into the market.

She's out of her mind to leave so much money to be made.

We will do everything in our power to suppress Zhuoma until she submits.

"I assure you," Tang Laoda assured.

"Then I'll give you another chance to thoroughly quell her arrogance."

If she still disagrees in the end, just kill her.

"She's blocking too many people's path to wealth, you understand." The black-robed envoy commanded coldly.

"I will keep the special envoy's instructions in mind. I'll go and make preparations first. Watch how I crush their arrogance!"

Tang Laoda bowed and withdrew.

A short while later, a group of people arrived in front of Ye Tian.

The leader was a well-dressed young man who looked to be of high status. Behind him were several burly bodyguards with sharp eyes and noticeably bulging waists.

Following behind were several shirtless, burly men carrying a huge rock that was about half a person's height and required two people to hug it.

They are walking heavily this way.

The stone was entirely black, its surface as rough as if it were cast from pig iron. Under the light, it reflected a somber glow, like a huge piece of meteorite iron.

The stone was placed heavily on the stone platform with a dull thud, raising a cloud of dust.

A loud-voiced man jumped onto the stone platform, put his hands on his hips, and shouted in heavily accented Mandarin: "Gentlemen, let's not waste any more words! This is a real find that was pulled out from the deepest part of the Tianshan Old Pit ten years ago."

Back then, so many people wanted to invite him but couldn't, but tonight my young master managed to get him to come out.

"Everyone, keep your eyes wide open and watch carefully! The stone will be cut open right here on the spot. Wealth and fortune are in the hands of fate, life and death are up to destiny!"

"Buzz..." The crowd erupted in a frenzy, with discussions rising everywhere.

"It really is the invincible Stone King Hei from back in the day! Just who is this young master? How did he manage to bring it out?"

"The outer skin is iron-sand skin, an old mine variety, but it's so black and shiny that you can't see any other characteristics. It's too risky!"

"I heard that countless experts examined it ten years ago, saying that it might contain top-quality black jade, or it might just be a piece of black iron rock that collapsed to the bottom!"

Zhuoma's expression immediately turned extremely serious upon seeing the stone.

She pulled Ye Tian aside, away from the crowd, and introduced him in a deep, low voice:

"This stone was the top-selling stone in the jade gambling circle ten years ago, and some people called it the invincible black stone king."

It was dug out of the deepest part of the Tianshan Old Pit ten years ago. Because of its bizarre behavior and high price, no one dared to touch it.

This time, someone actually used it to disrupt the treasure trading event.

You'd better be careful later; don't do anything unless you're absolutely sure.

Zhuoma lowered her voice and spoke earnestly to Ye Tian.

"Boss Ye, have you finished your private conversation? My name is Xiao Mingyuan, from the Xiao family in the Northwest."

You may not know who I am, but that's okay.

See that? There are still a lot of bloodstains around that stone, left by people who tried to steal it along the way.

In the towering mountains of Northwest China alone, there were no fewer than three groups of people who risked their lives to snatch this stone.

I won't tell you how many people died along the way, but none of the desperate criminals who dared to steal this stone had a good ending.

It was no easy feat for me to finally get this stone here.

Ye Tian had only heard before that some people would risk their lives to snatch priceless raw stones.

This is the first time I've ever seen stones transported out of a bloody battle.

The smell of blood on the stone was unmistakable, and it definitely wasn't just from one person.

"Boss Ye, I want to make a bet with you."

If my stone is more valuable than the violet you unearthed, your stone is mine, and you will serve me for free for three years.

If your stone is more valuable than my King Stone, then this King Stone is yours.

I, Xiao Mingyuan, will always follow your lead.

Xiao Mingyuan was very confident in his stone king; otherwise, given his status as the eldest young master of the Xiao family, why would he make such a big bet?

Fearing that Ye Tian would act impulsively, Zhuoma came to his ear again and whispered:

"Boss Ye, the Xiao family is the number one family in the Northwest, and they always keep their word."

If you're not sure, don't gamble with him.

If you lose, giving him two hundred million worth of top-quality jade is a small matter; you'll have to be his slave for three years.

In just three years, with your abilities, Boss Ye, you've already become famous far and wide.

If he's been buried in obscurity for three years, it'll be very difficult for him to make a name for himself later.

Zhuoma has already witnessed Ye Tian's extraordinary abilities, and she believes that it won't be long before Ye Tian becomes the most sought-after figure in the entire jade industry.

How could a genius of his caliber be content to remain subservient to others for long?

Therefore, if he loses the bet, it will cause irreparable damage to Ye Tian's physical and mental health.

The best way is not to take this bet.
