After that, the old man took in a breath of cold air and gulped…
How could this happen? How could he have misjudged it?
Many people in the room were also dumbfounded…
After a few seconds of silence, everyone soon began discussing among themselves—
“What’s going on? He should've chosen not to continue opening it… That way, he could still earn quite a bit of profit with it…”
“Yeah, it’s such a huge loss. If only he’d known. He should’ve listened to Xyla Quest.”
“If I were him, I’d feel remorseful that I might just die… Thank goodness I didn’t continue bidding. Otherwise, I would be the one suffering now…”
On stage, Xavier York didn’t say anything. Instead, he quickly fixed his gaze on Xyla Quest’s face.
He never expected Xyla to be right.
Xavier had previously heard about how Xyla made a considerable profit from another original jade rock auction.
However, back then, he thought that Xyla probably only knew very little. She only succeeded because of her great luck.
Now, it seemed that she knew more than just a little.
Xyla said that this was based on her instincts, but Xavier didn’t believe it at all.
He believed that she must have had a secret technique!
When Xavier thought of what he said earlier, he felt genuinely embarrassed.
When Xyla slowly shifted her gaze to Xavier, she saw that Xavier was looking at her.
Apart from a look of admiration in his eyes, he also seemed incomparably shocked…
Xyla merely smiled. She still seemed calm.
They all shifted their gaze to the other half of the original jade rock.
“I think… Since Mr. York has already said so, just leave it. Don’t cut the other half that hasn’t been cut yet…”
“Yeah. Just like what Mr. York said, if you don’t cut it open, you can still sell it at a good price based on this surface…”
“Yeah, yeah… If you continue cutting it, what if the other half turns out to be a piece of trash too? You’ll only suffer greater losses…”
Many people below the stage couldn’t resist speaking up to advise the old man against his action.
Xyla didn’t say anything. Instead, she continued to drink her tea. In fact, she did not even look up once.
She knew that this old man wouldn’t listen to anybody.
This old man was a stubborn man.
“Just because one half of it is trash, it doesn’t mean the entire piece is trash… Are you all blind?” The old man became even more agitated.
