Chapter 34 - The Reverse Card!

"The way the game works is just like it's name, you buy a stone that you want then cut it to see if there is a jade inside"

Once the host finished the announcement, the waitress started to wheel out a large batch of stones that ranges from as small as a pebble to as large as a football. The price varies based on it's size and formation, lowest price was ¥100k while the highest price was ¥80 Million.

Everyone started to analyse the stones while Yu Yeng already picked his and proceeded to have the staff cut it for him, Xiao Yang remembered that Yu Yeng's dad is a professional gambler on gambling stones, it wouldn't be a surprise if Yu Yeng know a thing or two about picking the suitable stones.

"Oh my! There really is a green jade"

"Although the quality is common but for this size it's at least worth ¥500k!"

"That's 300k profit you got!"

The crowd starter to congratulate Yu Yeng, while Xiao Yang continued to pick his stone. It took him a few seconds, but at the end he picked a stone the size of a pebble instead which was the cheapest one out of them.

"Ha ha, look at him he picked a pebble. Xiao Yang do you really think there is a jade inside?"

Just like that Yu Yeng just thought of a brilliant idea to not only get his money back, but also pay back the anger he got from Xiao Yang.

"Xiao Yang, why don't we make a bet?"

"Bet?"

"Yes, we each choose 3 stones and whoever's total jade value is the highest at the end then the winner not only get to keep all of the stones, but the loser will also have to pay ¥10 billion"

Though Xiao Yang's was calm but Xiao Mei was starting to get worried as she knows that Xiao Yang doesn't have any experience in gambling stone.

"Xiao Yang, don't agree to the bet"

"Don't worry, I have confidence that I will win"

"Fine, I'll agree to the bet"

They then proceed to pick 3 stones each and placed it on the table with both of theirs opposite to each others. Everyone gathered around them in a circle and was hyped up to see who would actually win this bet.

Yu Yeng's stones were all at medium sizes, while Xiao Yang picked 2 medium sized stones and 1 pebble sized which he picked earlier. Both were confident with their stones especially Yu Yeng.

The staff started cutting one of Yu Yeng's stone which revealed another large common green jade, the old man who was hired by the Bai family as an value appraiser labelled the jade to be worth at least ¥600k

"Now Xiao Yang let see one of yours"

Xiao Yang proceed to give one of his medium sized stone to the staff which they then also revealed a common green jade, but it size was slightly smaller than Yu Yeng's so the old man gave it a price of at least ¥500k which allowed Yu Yeng to be at the lead by ¥100k.

They proceed to cut another one of their medium sized stones, which both revealed an rare yellow coloured jade, however Yu Yeng is now winning the bet by ¥700k as Xiao Yang's jade was half the size of his.

At this point Yu Yeng was confident that he was going to win against Xiao Yang, so another brilliant idea hit his head that no only would his dad forgive him regarding about the auction but will also praise him for making extra money.

"Xiao Yang do you dare to increase bet to ¥20 billion?"

"Sure why not, but"

"but?"

"You must sign an I.O.U"

"Fine both of us sign it"

The staff quickly print out 3 contract that states the loser must pay the winner ¥20 billion. Once they each received one of the signed contract while the last one was taken by the auction house as a witness to the bet.

Xiao Mei was obviously in disagreement with it, but Xiao Yang did say that he was confident that he will win the bet, otherwise he wouldn't reluctantly agree to increase the bet right?

Yu Yeng's last stone was finally cut which revealed another large common green jade, this makes him in lead by a total of ¥1.1 Million over Xiao Yang's. Even if Xiao Yang's was another rare yellow jade, from such a small rock the value would only worth atleast 800k there is no way to fill the ¥1.1 million gap.

"Xiao Yang I suggests that you should just pay up"

"What? Are you scared that I will win?"

"It's was just a warning, so you don't embarrass yourself in case there are no jade in it."

The staff proceed to cut the top part of Xiao Yang's finally stone which surprisingly revealed the finest colour of green, the old man immediately run up to it.

"It's the Imperial Jade! The finest and most expensive jade!"

"What?! Imperial Jade?!"

Yu Yeng couldn't believe his opponent's luck, out of all jade why did it have to be the Imperial Jade?

"It's value is worth at least ¥1.2 million!"

With the old man's words the winner is finally concluded to be Xiao Yang, everyone thought Xiao Yang was lucky but it wasn't luck at all. In fact Xiao Yang was using the ability of his eyes given by the system.

Although it doesn't tell him what kind of jade is inside the stone but it gave Xiao Yang a price of how much the stone is worth, after knowing how much his opponent's stones are worth he can easily trick him into thinking that he is winning so that he can increase the bet.

Not only does Yu Yeng have to give all his earned stones to Xiao Yang, but he also tripled his debt which totals to ¥30 billion while his dad's net worth is only ¥57 billion.

"Remember Yu Yeng, you have 7 days to pay up the debt or we will be going to court"

Xiao Yang was not going to let him and his parent go like this as they had bullied his family over and over again just for the inheritance of his grandpa's business. After becoming the Head General, Xiao Yang was able to find out that the reason for his parent's court case was all the doings of Yu Yeng's parent so he wanted to teach them a lesson this time.
