If Xyla Quest could buy it with fifty-one million, she would make a fortune.
The thing about rock gambling for ordinary people was that a single cut could either mean heaven or hell.
However, to Xyla, there was no hell, only heaven.
“Fifty-one million going once…”
“Fifty-one million going twice…”
“Fifty-one million going thrice…”
The beautiful auctioneer on stage shouted calmly…
Throughout the entire process, the crowd was completely silent.
Not a single person raised the bid price.
Everyone snickered at the piece of material on stage.
Xyla, however, was very pleased with this outcome.
She subconsciously looked around before shifting her gaze back to the original jade rock.
Suddenly, a satisfied smile appeared upon her face.
“Alright, I hereby announce that this material belongs to the lady with the card number 58…” The auctioneer slammed the gavel down and looked at Xyla with a smile.
When Xyla heard this, her smile widened…
“Miss… You… You should think of it as spending money for a lesson,” an old man with white hair on Xyla’s left said with a helpless expression upon his face. “I wouldn’t want this lousy piece of rock even if you paid me to take it.”
“Miss, would you like us to open it for you?” the auctioneer on stage asked politely.
“Sure, open it…” Xyla spread her hands indifferently with a confident look upon her face.
When Sharon Lindt saw how happy Xyla seemed, she smiled nonchalantly.
To Sharon, Xyla being happy was enough.
Even if the rock didn’t contain anything, it didn’t matter.
The large screen on the auction stage displayed all the tiny details…
When everything was ready, Zim took another deep look at Xyla. He then turned on the cutting machine…
The sharp blade soon sliced the rock into two halves.
Everyone present, apart from Sharon, was waiting for Xyla to make a fool of herself.
Once the rock was cut, Zim parted the two halves of the rock with staff members’ help. He then looked at the cut surfaces.
Now, Zim was shocked…
Apart from a thin layer of the outer shell, the inconspicuous material in front of him was filled with jade.
Moreover, it was the glassy imperial green jade! It truly was top-notch jade.
“H-How is this possible?” With that, Zim turned to face Xyla with a look of disbelief in his eyes…
Wasn’t this girl way too lucky? Zim couldn’t believe his eyes.
