Chapter 463 A Painful Loss
The expert swallowed hard at the sight.
This was the best jade he had seen over the past six months.
The crowd gathered around, marveling at how exquisite that piece of jade looked.
“This is incredible! I can’t believe what I’m seeing.”
“This can sell for two million, man!”
“Three million, to be precise. By the way, I’ll really buy this if they’re selling it.”
As for Thomas, he had just incurred a painful loss earlier on. When he saw that Yandel had his best luck just from the first stone itself, he ground his teeth in jealousy. In fact, he was so overtaken by his emotions he was at a loss for words.
Interested buyers flooded Yandel with questions, but the latter had no time to entertain them. “Sir,” he said to the man, “what about you proceed with the other stones? There are two more.”
The seller did as he was told.
Two strong men carried the second one over and the seller started making some remarks as they cut the rock.
The first cut did not show anything exciting, yet as the blade went deeper, a flare of greenness came from within.

“W-What? It’s green too!”
The seller quickly collected himself and reached for the bell again.
Ring!
The bells elicited a smile on Natalie’s face.
By the time the rock was polished into a jade, they found out that it weighed a whopping five pounds.
Although it was still not on the same level as imperial jade, it was still a magnificent and perfect piece of its own.
The jade looked clear and glistening under the reflection of light, and no one could contend that it did not look superb.
This was prime jade. It required no further crafting because it was beautiful on its own.
The whole crowd was charged with excitement.
“This is not imperial jade, but it’s equally rare!”
“Oh my gosh! This is worth even more than the first one! They can sell this for hundreds of millions!”
“What is this? They’ve got all the luck!”
As for Thomas and Yeva, they looked down on Yandel and Natalie when they won during the first round. Thomas totally disregarded them and busied himself with the stones earlier on, but now that he saw how successful their bet was, intense jealousy and anger gripped him.
Meanwhile, Yandel was completely preoccupied with what just unfolded before his eyes. He could not believe that Natalie was this good.

The latter elbowed him in his chest, looking at him begrudgingly. “Come on, ask the man to cut the last one!”
Yandel collected himself and nodded absent-mindedly.
Since Natalie was under disguise, Yandel would have to take the lead now.
He hid his astonishment and put on a confident front.
Everyone was looking forward to what would happen next.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEven the seller himself felt feverish because of the thrill. He took a few deep breaths and asked his men to lower the blade.
It went directly toward a piece of yellow jade.
Although it was still jade, the result was still not as good as the previous two.
The crowd was slightly disappointed, yet in hindsight, they knew having two green jades was already good enough.
Thomas and Yeva heaved sighs of relief when they found out that there was no green jade in the last stone because if it had, they would have collapsed to the ground in anger.
Just as the crowd thought that was the end, the seller suddenly cried out in all eagerness.
“W-wait! It’s a multicolored jade!”
The bell rang furiously this time around.
Three-quarters of the jade was yellow and the remaining quarter was green.
Although the green part of the jade was just as small as a person’s palm, it was none other than imperial jade.
“Imperial jade!” The expert teared up as he announced the result. He almost fainted from the shock.
“Honey,” Yeva stuttered, “we, we…” She could not bring herself to finish her sentence.
It turned out that Thomas and Yeva actually considered taking that piece of raw stone while they were picking earlier on.
