"Oh, thank you so much, Mr. Su," Manager Zhao exclaimed, his face lighting up with joy.
Although this was a place exclusively for top VIP guests, the stones here often cost millions, even tens of millions, each. Even the top VIPs at the Jade Emperor Stone Gambling Field wouldn't buy many in a month.
After all, these were raw stones, uncut. No one could be certain that buying one for millions would guarantee a huge profit.
Moreover, if purchased through him, Manager Zhao, the amount would be even less.
"Mr. Su, you mentioned that one. I'll have someone retrieve it and deliver it to your residence, or we can cut it open right here."
"That one," Li Yang pointed to a stone of moderate size, "can the price be a bit lower?"
"Certainly. This stone is originally priced at six million. If Mr. Su buys it, it will only be five million six hundred thousand," Manager Zhao said with a smile. "Will that be cash or card?"
Li Yang handed him a gold card. "Card, please."
"Yes, thank you for your patronage, Mr. Su." Manager Zhao was practically beaming with delight and quickly brought over the card machine to process the payment.
Beep, beep. In a moment, the payment went through.
He held out the gold card to Li Yang with both hands. "Mr. Su, your gold card. Please keep it safe."
"Have this stone delivered to the entrance of the Rich Stone Gambling Field for me," Li Yang said with a smile.
Manager Zhao blinked in surprise. "The Rich Stone Gambling Field? You mean...?"
"Don't worry about the details. Just send it there," Li Yang replied.
Manager Zhao nodded. "Understood, Mr. Su."
However, he couldn't help but wonder, why would Mr. Su want to send the stone to the entrance of the Rich Stone Gambling Field? Did he not know about the animosity between the Jade Emperor Stone Gambling Field and the Rich Stone Gambling Field?
Or perhaps, he intended to cause trouble for the Rich Stone Gambling Field.
He could never have imagined that Li Yang was the second boss of the Rich Stone Gambling Field.
Without further ado, he called for his men to load the stone onto a vehicle, which then followed Li Yang's car, arriving together at the Rich Stone Gambling Field.
Looking at the entrance ahead, Manager Zhao said, "Mr. Su, our Jade Emperor Stone Gambling Field and this gambling field have a very bad relationship. Our boss has given orders that we are not allowed to enter or exit this gambling field, so we cannot deliver it further. What do you think?"
"Just leave the stone at the entrance," Li Yang said.
"Alright, Mr. Su." Manager Zhao immediately instructed, "You all heard that, hurry up and get it done. Be careful and steady."
"Yes, Manager Zhao."
After the stone was placed, Manager Zhao said, "Mr. Su, we'll be leaving now. We welcome you to visit the Jade Emperor Stone Gambling Field again."
"Alright, goodbye," Li Yang said with a chuckle.
Manager Zhao immediately got into his car and returned to the Jade Emperor Stone Gambling Field.
Li Yang, on the other hand, walked into the gambling field and found a few people to help him move the stone inside.
"Where did you buy it?" Shui Xiang asked curiously upon hearing that he had bought a stone.
Li Yang smiled. "From the Jade Emperor Stone Gambling Field."
"Didn't you run into Zhao De?"
"Fortunately, I didn't. Otherwise, buying this stone would have been a bit troublesome," Li Yang said with a smile.
Shui Xiang's eyes flickered. "You mean this stone might yield something good?"
"Indeed, and I can guarantee it will contain a piece of Imperial Green jade!" Li Yang said with a smile.
"Ridiculous!"
Suddenly, a voice cut in, its tone unfriendly. "You think Imperial Green is common stuff? Just by saying it, it can be found?"
"Hmm?" Li Yang turned his head suspiciously and saw a familiar face. "Boss Zhao?"
This person was Zhao De, the owner of the Jade Emperor Stone Gambling Field.
Today, he wasn't accompanied by any secretaries, but rather a young woman dressed somewhat gaudily, though she had a good figure, and her legs looked quite full.
The woman wrapped her arms around Zhao De's neck and giggled, "Boss Zhao, who is this?"
"Just some kid who got lucky," Zhao De sneered.
The gaudy woman immediately chimed in, "So that's how it is. He looks like a minor character to me, completely incomparable to you, Boss Zhao."
"Hahaha,"
Zhao De laughed heartily a few times, then stared at Li Yang. "Kid, you didn't expect me to be here, did you?"
"It is a bit of a surprise, but your taste is truly awful," Li Yang glanced at them, a slight, teasing smirk on his lips. "Your legs are so far apart, you probably don't see a hundred customers a day, but at least seventeen or eighteen."
"I really don't understand, Boss Zhao. Could it be that you have kidney deficiency, and that thing is particularly soft, forcing you to choose loose ones?"
"Hahaha!" Some people present burst into laughter upon hearing his words. A few young women blushed and shot Li Yang a playfully chiding glance.
Almost everyone understood what Li Yang meant by "loose."
Zhao De and the gaudy woman's faces immediately changed. The gaudy woman was the first to react angrily. "How dare you insult me, you brat!"
"Boss Zhao, you must stand up for me."
"Don't worry, I won't let this kid off easily." Zhao De's expression was somewhat unpleasant. Although he was older and it was normal to have kidney issues compared to younger men, he was still a man, and being spoken to like that in public naturally displeased him.
He stared at Li Yang. "Kid, you said earlier that you could find Imperial Green, right?"
"Indeed. Boss Zhao, do you want to make a bet with me? I'm ready to play anytime," Li Yang said, his lips curving slightly.
Zhao De said coldly, "You've got guts. If you really find it, I'll give you ten million."
"Only ten million? That's too small a stake."
Li Yang smiled. "How about we play for something bigger? One hundred million, dare you?"
"O-one hundred million?"
Zhao De's expression shifted, and finally, he gritted his teeth. "Fine, one hundred million it is! Cut it open now!"
"Alright, get me a marker," Li Yang extended a hand.
Shui Xiang immediately handed him a marker and whispered, "Li Yang, isn't this playing too big?"
"No, I'm bound to win anyway," Li Yang said with a smile and began drawing lines on the stone with the marker.
Zhao De said coldly, "Boasting! I'd like to see how you'll give me one hundred million when the time comes!"
Although he said this, he felt a hint of unease in his heart, especially since Li Yang had slapped him several times not long ago.
He hugged the gaudy woman and squeezed her hand in public to calm himself down.
"Ah, Boss Zhao." The gaudy woman let out a few delicate cries. Far from being ashamed, she deliberately teased Zhao De in public, igniting a fiery passion in the onlookers.
She was too seductive!
