Chapter 132: Chapter 130: Hu Ban’s Conspiracy "Pfft, pfft~~" After hearing Lu Hangfeng’s words, Lu Kang let out a sarcastic snicker. "What a joke, Dad. Look at this kid, cherishing a piece of junk raw stone like it’s a treasure. He looks like a country bumpkin who’s never seen the world. How could he possibly be some prodigy of the Gambling Stone Industry? I think he’s clearly just an idiot!" Then, Lu Kang turned to Li Xue’er, "Xue’er, there are so many swindlers out there these days. You mustn’t be fooled. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you should let your brother Lu Kang teach you. Don’t believe his nonsense!" "Lu Kang, have you said enough? Ye Feng is our business partner. Stop causing trouble here!" Anger flashed in Lu Hangfeng’s eyes as he loudly reprimanded Lu Kang. "Business partner?" Lu Kang’s eyebrows raised, his disdain becoming even more pronounced. "This country bumpkin, what makes him qualified to be our business partner?" Lu Kang said contemptuously while looking at Ye Feng. "Shut up!" Lu Hangfeng roared, the affable aura around him completely dissipating. Lu Hangfeng looked at Lu Kang, "If you speak any more nonsense, get out of here. You have no business here!" Seeing that Lu Hangfeng was truly angry, Lu Kang dared not say anything further. Lu Hangfeng recovered his approachable demeanor, shaking his head helplessly as he looked at Ye Feng, "Brother Ye Feng, I am so sorry. I have been busy with business for the past two years and haven’t had time to properly discipline my son. Recently, this little brat has gained some abilities and become too cocky. Don’t take his words to heart, he’s not a bad person." "It’s fine..." Ye Feng shook his head indifferently, displaying neither joy nor sorrow. As the Dragon Country’s War God, Ye Feng certainly didn’t see a need to bother with a petty person like Lu Kang. Lu Hangfeng said, "Friend Ye Feng, I think the No. 6 jadeite raw stone you are looking at probably has no value to open." Ye Feng smiled faintly, "Actually, the skin and water of this piece of raw stone are quite good. Sometimes, an amazing quality can be revealed. In fact, I’m doing research. After all, isn’t that what stone gambling is about? Sometimes, these unimpressive-looking raw stones... can yield very high-quality jadeite." Of course, Ye Feng wouldn’t tell Lu Hangfeng the truth, as he was here to help the Li Family. Naturally, if there were a purchase to be made, it would be to let the Li Family win it. Lu Hangfeng nodded, "Friend Ye Feng makes some sense. This time I fancy the No. 10 jadeite raw stone. What do you think of my choosing this one?" Ye Feng replied, "Number 10 is quite good. In terms of luster, texture, and other aspects, it’s a very nice raw stone. And it can be judged that it’s a very old stone, with a high quality of jade inside. However, the size might be a bit small, roughly two fists in size. If the auction price is within two hundred million, it would be quite a bargain. In the end, it should allow the profits to double. In short, you won’t lose out by purchasing No. 10." Ye Feng’s tone was very certain, and Lu Hangfeng smiled slightly, "Oh? If that’s the case, then I’ll listen to you, Friend Ye Feng!" Lu Kang looked at Ye Feng with disdain, "What a joke. You say it’s the size of two fists? Do you think you have X-ray vision?" "Shut up! Did I ask for your opinion?" Lu Hangfeng asked sternly, looking at Lu Kang with a dark expression. Seeing his father angry, Lu Kang obediently closed his mouth. At this moment, the conversation between Ye Feng and Lu Hangfeng had been overheard by a bald man, who revealed a slight smile at the corner of his mouth. Soon, the auction began, with Ye Feng, Li Linfeng, and Li Xue’er all seated in the VIP section of the auction venue. Li Linfeng whispered to Ye Feng, "Which piece of raw jade do you think I should bid on?" "Number six!" Ye Feng stated firmly. "Oh?" Li Linfeng looked at Ye Feng with a puzzled face, feeling surprised. With his years of experience, Li Linfeng believed that the number six jade stone would not yield any high-quality jade. Li Linfeng eyed Ye Feng and asked, "Are you sure?" "Sure!" Ye Feng nodded. "Alright, then number six it is!" Li Linfeng replied, filled with confidence in Ye Feng. Beside Lu Hangfeng, there was now an old man in addition to Lu Kang. Lu Hangfeng asked, "Seventh Uncle, are you certain about the number ten stone?" "Certain! The number ten raw stone will definitely produce high-quality jade. With my years of experience and my reputation as the top gambling stone expert in Southern Border, I guarantee it!" Seventh Uncle said confidently. Lu Hangfeng nodded; though he was also considering the number six stone that Ye Feng mentioned, he ultimately chose the number ten. In the end, the number ten jade stone was purchased by Lu Hangfeng for 130 million. The number six stone was bought by Li Linfeng for 60 million. "Madness! Madness! That number six jade stone, at most, is worth 30 million. Elder Li actually spent 60 million to purchase it. He’s really gone mad!" The crowd looked at Li Linfeng and his group with faces full of shock. Someone sneered and said, "What do you know? The Li Family has plenty of money — a few tens of millions are nothing to them. Would they care?" "Elder Li, didn’t you say you brought a prodigy from the gambling stone industry with you this time? Don’t tell me it’s this young fellow?" At that moment, a bald man stepped forward. The bald man, with several scars on his face and bloodshot eyes, exuded a strong, fierce aura. Everyone who saw him revealed a look of fear. That man was none other than Hu Ban, the boss of Nanhong City’s underground power! Li Linfeng said coldly, "What’s it to you?" "Elder Li, have you lost your mind? Have you become senile with age to listen to this kid and spend 60 million on that raw jade stone? Now, I seriously doubt the judgement of your Li Family! You can’t even pick raw jade stones, and your jade producing area is right here in our Nanhong City! If you’re going to purchase all this low-quality raw stone in the future and put it up for sale, wouldn’t that damage the reputation of Nanhong Jade?" "Yeah, yeah, this will cause serious damage to the reputation of the Nanhong City jade market!" "What kind of crappy judgement is this? Has Li Linfeng really become this senile?" After hearing the crowd’s words, both Li Linfeng and Li Xue’er had very unsightly expressions on their faces. Hu Ban said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the sales of raw stones in Nanhong City have not been as good as last year, and it’s because of these kinds of purchasers who recklessly buy low-quality wares..."
