"Alright, but only if you have the capital for it."
Li Yang agreed without hesitation.
Since these people were so arrogant, he was determined to let them know the prowess of a Chinese appraisal master today, no matter what.
The two of them quickly stood on opposite sides, their eyes fixed on the raw stones before them.
Everyone around watched with anticipation, cheering on the man in white.
They believed Li Yang was no match for the man in white and were waiting for another Chinese appraisal master to be killed.
After observing the stones, Li Yang smiled faintly and said, "Tell me, what are we betting on this time?"
"Let's bet on which of these stones contains yellow jade. The previous appraiser died because of it. Whether you can win now depends on your own fortune," the man in white said confidently.
Li Yang directly shook his head and smiled, "With just these few stones, you expect to find yellow jade? I can play a bigger game with you. I'll tell you the situation of the jade within each raw stone. If I get them all right, you will commit suicide by sword. If I'm wrong, I won't need your men to do it; I'll commit suicide by sword myself."
"What? You want to bet your life with me?"
The confidence on the man in white's face suddenly turned serious. His eyes darted back and forth, but he hesitated for a long time, not daring to agree decisively.
He only wanted to gamble for fun, not to risk his own life.
"What? Are you afraid? Then how dare you gamble with the lives of our Chinese people earlier? If you're afraid, then admit defeat, kneel down and kowtow to me three times, and apologize to the Chinese people, and I'll let you go," Li Yang stated firmly.
"You're dreaming. Who says I'm afraid!"
"Very well. Everyone listen up. I will now announce the appraisal results of these raw stones. If they are cut open later and the quality is as I say, you will be the witnesses, and he must disembowel himself."
Li Yang looked at the crowd around him, asking them to be witnesses for him. Then he pointed to the first raw stone and said, "This first raw stone contains white-flaked jade, of medium quality, with a diameter of about three centimeters."
"The second raw stone contains green jade, with many black impurities, of low quality, with a diameter of about five centimeters."
"The third raw stone contains nothing, it's worthless."
"The fourth raw stone..."
In about three minutes, Li Yang had appraised all dozen or so raw stones placed before him.
Everyone present wore expressions of disbelief, thinking it impossible for Li Yang to be correct about all of them, and to know such details.
Even the man in white couldn't help but laugh loudly upon hearing the results.
"Kid, you don't understand stone gambling at all, do you? Are you just trying to show off and bluffing me?"
"Whether it's bluffing or not, you'll know as soon as you cut the stones open. And I won't be as disgraced as the previous Chinese appraiser and flee if I lose. You can have people surround me now." Li Yang said calmly.
"Good!"
The man in white's eyes deepened. He looked back at his expert and walked to Li Yang's side first, to prevent him from escaping.
Following that, he called over two of his subordinates who were skilled in cutting stones and ordered them to cut open the raw stones before them.
As the stone cutters stepped forward to cut the stones, all eyes focused on the pile of raw stones, waiting to see Li Yang make a fool of himself.
They had come to China only to discover that Chinese appraisal masters were all just boastful.
However!
After only a few minutes, the scorn and disdain on their faces vanished instantly.
This was because the stone cutters had successively cut open two stones, and the results were exactly as Li Yang had said, with no discrepancies whatsoever.
"What? He guessed the first two correctly."
The man in white looked at the two stones with great surprise, then at Li Yang. Li Yang's expression was very calm, without a hint of panic, as if everything was under his control.
"Keep cutting, there are more surprises to come!"
Li Yang noticed the astonished looks on the faces of the man in white and others around him and calmly instructed the stone cutters.
The raw stones continued to be cut. Before long, another four or five raw stones were all cut open, and the jade found inside was still exactly as Li Yang had described, with no discrepancies.
Everyone present was dumbfounded!
Li Yang, however, yawned, finding it utterly uninteresting, and shook his head, saying, "Not enough, not enough, keep cutting."
"It's there!"
"It's there again!"
"Still there!"
The exclamations of amazement from the onlookers grew louder with each stone.
Because with every stone cut open, the situation inside was exactly as Li Yang had said.
The entire crowd was stunned!
"My God, has this kid cheated? How can he be so powerful?"
"This is it. Our boss agreed to a life-or-death gamble. It seems we're going to lose our lives here today."
The subordinates behind the man in white couldn't help but whisper amongst themselves.
"Shut up!"
Less than two seconds later, the man in white overheard their words, turned back, and sternly reprimanded them. They immediately fell silent.
Following that, he looked coldly at Li Yang, his face filled with confusion, and asked, "Who exactly are you? Can you see through the contents of these raw stones?"
"Does it matter to you whether I can see them or not? There's only one raw stone left. I think it's best to cut it open quickly so you can go to reincarnation sooner," Li Yang said calmly.
"Brother, as the saying goes, leave a way out for people, and you'll meet them again in the future. I was wrong just now. I apologize here and hope you can forgive me." The man in white had indeed chickened out. He no longer dared to confront Li Yang directly and spoke politely.
However, Li Yang shrugged dismissively and said, "Are you begging me? What did you say just now? If you lost, you would commit suicide to atone. Why are you apologizing to me at this crucial moment? And what did you mean by 'leave a way out'? If you were a decent person, I would have left a way out for you. But you mocked our Chinese appraisal masters and insulted China. Are you even human? All these consequences are your own doing. Say no more, commit suicide to atone quickly. That way, I might still have some respect for you. Otherwise, you're going to be utterly disgraced today."
After speaking, Li Yang found a knife from a nearby table and threw it directly in front of the man in white!
