119: Chapter 115: Just Breaking One Leg 119: Chapter 115: Just Breaking One Leg “Zhu Dasa, you have no chance now!”
Lin Tian glanced at Zhu Yan, whose face was extremely somber, and said indifferently.
“Hmph, poor bastard, just got lucky, and you’re proud!”
Zhu Yan snorted coldly, “After this, I only need to win three rounds, and not only will I not pay you the two hundred million, but you’ll also have to pay me two hundred million!
The Glass Species Jade King will fall into my hands!”
“Most importantly, the girl by your side will also be mine!”
Hearing this, Lin Tian stopped arguing and simply smiled without saying a word.
In the vast courtyard of the Gambling Stone Workshop, there were at least several thousand raw stones, and Lin Tian had scanned almost all of them with his X-ray Divine Eye, definitely around seven or eight pieces of glass species jade.
He was basically holding the winning ticket.
And the presence of so many Jade Kings indicated that the quality of the raw stones in the Gambling Stone Workshop was top-notch.
The owner of the Gambling Stone Workshop, standing on the opposite side with an equally ugly expression, would certainly explode and fight Lin Tian recklessly if he knew Lin Tian’s methods.
The Glass Species Jade King had appeared in his Gambling Stone Workshop before, but only twice in the past ten years.
Among thousands of raw stones, to have a Glass Species Jade King was already a very high chance.
Now, Lin Tian had gotten his hands on them for just a few thousand dollars; it was a huge loss for him.
if he knew that in this batch of raw stones there were seven or eight Jade Kings, he would go mad!
“Keep picking stones; I don’t believe your poor luck can continue!”
Zhu Yan glared fiercely at Lin Tian and proceeded to walk into the pile of raw stones to search for stones.
This time, he became even more cautious, looking over and over between the stones, and it took him a good fifteen minutes before he had the workshop staff bring over a black raw stone as big as a washbasin.
“Picking a stone as indecisively as a woman, and you call yourself the top gambler?”
Lin Tian sneered at Zhu Yan, then had the workshop staff carry over a very inconspicuous stone from the pile of raw stones, which was as large as an eight immortals table but had a gray and white surface, looking like it was covered in a layer of lime powder.
Such poorly presenting raw stones would generally not be chosen by experienced gamblers.
The risk was too high, and the chance of producing jade was low, whereas the stones with higher chances of yielding jade usually had a thicker and more traceable surface.
Now, the stone Lin Tian had chosen was clearly a low-quality raw material.
poor bastard, looks like your luck is running out!
With this stone, it’d be a miracle if it held any jade!”
Zhu Yan couldn’t help but mock Lin Tian upon seeing his chosen raw stone.
“Hehe, as long as it beats you, Zhu Dasa, it’s a good stone!”
Lin Tian chuckled lightly and spoke calmly.
Zhu Yan snorted coldly, then said to the stone cutter, “Master, get started!”
The stone cutter took up his cutting tool and began his skilled work on the raw stone.
A crisp sound rang out, the raw stone split open, and a gentle glow spread out, glistening under the lights.
“Wow, another piece of jade!”
“It’s Ice Jade, ranking just below the glass species!”
“Big too, at least as big as a fist — worth at least a billion!”
The onlookers exclaimed once again.
At this moment, Zhu Yan couldn’t stop grinning.
Ice Jade was also rarely gambled by him, and now that it had appeared, he felt he held the winning ticket.
He turned to Lin Tian with disdain, “Poor bastard, I told you, your luck has run out!”
Lin Tian ignored him and pointed to a spot near the middle of his own raw stone, telling the stone cutter, “Cut straight down from here!”
If it cuts through the jade, I’m not responsible!”
The stone cutter, an old man, paused for a moment and reminded Lin Tian.
“Just cut it confidently!”
Lin Tian nodded affirmatively.
Hearing this, the stone cutter no longer hesitated and made a clean cut downward.
The moment half of the raw stone split open, a radiant glow spread out, and a glass species jade, as large as two fists, quietly lay on the other half of the raw stone.
People in the room, their eyes all whisked onto the jade, and the crowd fell into a dead silence for a moment.
“Damn, it’s another Glass Species Jade King, and it’s twice the size of the last one!”
“F**k, are Jade Kings that easy to come by now?”
“This guy’s luck is just too goddamn against the heavens!”
After a while, many people exclaimed in sharp voices, some even cursing out loud, both jealous and envious of Lin Tian.
how is this possible!”
Zhu Yan was stunned, unable to believe that one’s luck could be so good—it was downright spooky!
And the Gambling Stone Workshop’s owner’s face turned black.
“Damn it, big loss, big loss…”
Muttering furiously under his breath, he looked at Lin Tian with resentment.
“Zhu Dasa, you’ve lost again!
Another two billion in hand!
There are three more rounds, and you have no chance to lose anymore…”
Lin Tian looked at Zhu Yan, smiled and said,
“Poor fool, you just wait!”
Zhu Yan’s face was dark as water, he cursed fiercely, “Damn, let’s go again!
I refuse to believe this curse…”
The two chose raw stones for cutting again.
But the scene that followed numbed everyone around.
Zhu Yan’s chosen raw stone cut open without revealing any jade, while Lin Tian casually picked a nondescript stone and cut out glass species again.
By now, inside the Gambling Stone Workshop courtyard, the crowd was no longer rowdy but had completely quieted down.
Many influential and wealthy businessmen present turned their eyes to Lin Tian, each harboring different thoughts.
If Lin Tian’s choice of raw stones cutting out glass species was considered incredible luck before, now with three raw stones each yielding a Glass Species Jade King, this was no longer a matter of luck but a matter of highly skilled jade gambling.
Many businessmen were thinking about how to approach Lin Tian to have him assist them in jade gambling to make a fortune.
Standing next to Lin Tian, Qian Xiaohui’s lips were parted in amazement, staring at Lin Tian’s well-defined profile; her heartbeat inexplicably sped up, her beautiful eyes filled with infatuation, the young man before her evoking a sense of mystery, power, and safety.
“Damn, could it be that I didn’t check the lunar calendar today, and holding the antique exchange meeting this year just clashes with me, making me lose a fortune…”
The Gambling Stone Workshop’s owner was almost crying by this point, his face ashen, on the verge of sobbing; those three Jade Kings could fetch at least ten billion at an auction, but now he had practically given them away for mere peanuts.
“I’ve won all three of three rounds; do you want to cut more?
I’ll make you thoroughly convinced!”
Lin Tian’s gaze fell on Zhu Yan as he spoke indifferently.
But before Zhu Yan could open his mouth, the Gambling Stone Workshop’s owner was already panicking and quickly said, “No more cutting, no more cutting, young master, please have mercy!”
“Heh, alright, I’ll give the owner some face!”
Lin Tian nodded with a smile at the owner of the Gambling Stone Workshop and then, with a gaze sharp as a knife, looked again at Zhu Yan, speaking coldly, “Now, you owe me six billion in bets!”
“It can’t be, it can’t be…”
Zhu Yan, now pale, coldly stared at the jade on the ground, shaking his head and muttering repeatedly.
After a while, a vicious look suddenly appeared in his eyes as he shouted, “Bumpkin, you must have cheated; otherwise, it’s impossible to continuously get three Jade Kings!
Hand over the jade, kneel and admit your fault to me, or I’ll break your legs!”
Zhu Yan’s words made the people around start to doubt as well.
Indeed, getting three Jade Kings in a row was way too incredible!
“Young Master Zhu, whose legs are you going to break?”
At this moment, a cold laugh came from outside the crowd, followed by Shen Junlou walking in with several tall followers.
“Ah, Young Master Shen, you’ve come at the right time; there are people gambling with cheats here!
We must break his legs!”
Seeing Shen Junlou appear, Zhu Yan’s face lit up as he hurriedly greeted him obsequiously.
Shen Junlou’s expression was cold as he looked at Zhu Yan, saying, “Oh?
I think breaking his third leg would suffice, how about that?”
“That’s a good idea, only breaking the third leg; I agree!
After all, it spares one less trouble…”
Lin Tian then said with a smile, looking his way.
“Poor fool, you dare to speak, Young Master Shen is here; come over and kneel to beg for mercy!
Otherwise, try the taste of being a eunuch!”
Zhu Yan pointed at Lin Tian and raged.
The people around also looked at Lin Tian as if watching an idiot; Shen Junlou was there, and yet he still dared to speak.
