The Ex-Husband's Revenge By Dragonsky Chapter 73
Leon waved his hands repeatedly to respectfully decline Benedict's kindness.
"I must insist! If you take something as rare and precious as this imperial green and carve it into a piece of women's jewelry, it's almost certain to win their hearts..."
Benedict grinned knowingly and gave Leon a little wink as if to say, 'I know what you want them for.'
As someone who experienced a lot of things in life, he assumed that Leon's intended to have them crafted into jewelry and given to a current or potential girlfriend. After all, no one would have thought that Leon had some other purpose.
Leon was initially still adamant about refusing but was eventually swayed by the old man. He scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and said, "Sir, I'd like to ask for a necklace if it's possible..." "Not a problem!" Benedict let out a chuckle.
If those two imperial greens were carved into two jade bracelets, the middle that had to be hollowed out was enough to make two necklace pendants, a couple of earrings, and some other small pieces of jewelry.
Leon's request was not excessive, for he had only requested a necklace.
Benedict transferred ten million dollars to Leon right away and asked for Leon's phone number so he could give the necklace to Leon once it was ready.
The atmosphere inside the store became lively again after Benedict left.
Everyone was awestruck at Leon's luck, and they all looked at him with envy!
The most jealous of them all were none other than Brody and Marilyn!
Leon effortlessly made more than nine million, but that was not all. He even succeeded in taking the opportunity to establish a relationship with Benedict Shear! His luck was shooting through the roof! After witnessing that incident, the two of them finally came to understand how a loser like Leon could get to know Iris!
The process of feeling spiritual energy from raw jadestone was very draining, and since Leon already had the money, he might as well save his time and effort by buying a finished product made of clear jadeite!
While he was busy perusing, he saw Brody looking at some raw jade stones again. A smile appeared on his face and he stepped forward.
"Five hundred thousand from me!" Brody raised the number plate in his hand.
He came here because he wanted to buy a larger piece of jade with which he could send to a craftsman and have a figure carved for his grandfather.
With only two pieces of fine jade in good condition left, he would not get his hands. on any if he did not make a bid.
Moreover, he was still feeling irked after Leon managed to get those imperial greens. He felt that his luck was just as good as Leon, so there was no reason why he would not be able to get it if Leon could. "I'll pay six hundred thousand!" Leon walked over and said nonchalantly.
Still seething from the way Brody forced him into spending way more than he originally intended to, Leon decided that it would not do him justice if he did not return the favor!
"You..." Smoke was practically coming out of Brody's nostrils! Although one should rightly mind one's own business and not try to hijack another person's purchase, Leon felt that it was not that big of a deal to take revenge on Brody for trying to sabotage him earlier. He shot Leon a fierce glare and said, "Seven hundred thousand!
"Eight hundred thousand!" Leon continued to increase the price.
"Nine hundred thousand!" Brody said, gritting his teeth.
Without even a moment's hesitation, Leon said, "One million dollars!"
In a fit of rage, Brody came to the sudden realization that Leon might be trying to get revenge on him!
Even so, he could not bring himself to concede to Leon.
After all, Leon only managed to obtain the imperial greens and earn more than nine million because Brody did not increase his bid to 1.3 million!
If he conceded that piece to Leon and the latter ended up with yet another rare item, he would probably die of anger!
Brody was still hesitating when everyone around him began discussing among themselves.
"Whoa, these two guys are at it again! There might just be something good in that raw jadestone!"
"Highly likely, yes!"

3/3
"That young man never took an interest in any of the stones before, but the one that he had his eyes on turned out to be an imperial green! That kind of exceptional judgment must mean that he's an expert when it comes to speculating on raw stones! Perhaps he has a vision or something!"
"Yeah! If he's bidding on this, it might just turn out to be something really valuable!"
After hearing everyone's comments, several merchants began to calculate the chances. Although the probability of finding imperial green jadeite was not very high, the odds of getting clear jadeite was still relatively decent!
