Chapter 1319
The risks of rock gambling were too significant.It was either heaven or hell.One might become filthy rich overnight because of an original jade rock, but one might also fall into a bottomless abyss overnight.Xyla Quest and Xavier York’s voices were very soft.However, an old man with a wrinkly face at the table behind them could understand what these two were talking about from the movements of their mouths as well as bits and pieces of what he heard.The old man couldn’t resist looking at Xyla. “Are you stupid? This is good stuff. You really have poor judgment this time…“From every perspective, this material looks great. Can’t you see that a random cut already yielded surfaces covered in jade?“There is even such great horsetail pine on the outside… If another cut is made, and the quality inside isn’t like this surface, I’ll change my surname to yours… You really are blind,” the old man continued to speak. His eyes were full of spite.He felt that Xyla was pretending to be

“Sure… In that case, we’ll proceed with the rock cutting process, as per the custom,” the beautiful auctioneer said.“Sure, alright. Let’s do it here…” The old man said. “Make someone realize that one’s intuition isn’t always right…” After saying that, he looked pointedly at Xyla Quest.Xyla didn’t notice the old man looking at her, but she could feel that he was talking about her.Xyla immediately smiled nonchalantly. However, she didn’t say anything. Instead, she looked silently at the stage and waited for the results.This old man was too ignorant. Xyla felt that she didn’t need to waste a single breath on him.“Alright…” The beautiful auctioneer said before shifting her gaze to Xavier York. “In that case, please join me in inviting Mr. York to cut the rock open for us…”When Xavier heard this, he slowly stood up.“Do you know how to cut original jade rocks open too?” Xyla was shocked to hear this.Xavier nodded gently. “Yeah. My father is an expert in this… I picked up a fe

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 seem

The old man was already very upset because one-half of the original jade rock turned out to be trash.Now, this group of people was still getting on his nerves. He felt extremely annoyed!Xyla Quest had already anticipated the old man’s attitude.She still didn’t look up. Instead, she slowly put down the cup of tea in her hands. After that, she gently circled her finger around the edge of the teacup.After that, the old man looked at Xavier York. “Continue cutting it open… I don’t believe in superstitions! I also refuse to believe that someone in this room is 100% accurate.”After saying that, he turned to look at Xyla coldly once again…When Xyla unintentionally looked up, she happened to see the old man looking at her.She still didn’t respond.Instead, she elegantly leaned against the chair behind her as she silently looked at the uncut half of the original jade rock.Silently, she waited for Xavier to switch on the cutting machine.Xavier helplessly glanced at the old man

Xyla Quest was very young. How was she this amazing?Other people also shifted their gaze to Xyla.Everyone’s eyes filled with approval and admiration.However, Xyla shrugged nonchalantly. “I said it before. It’s just intuition…”“Impossible…” Xavier York said.Xyla laughed again. “It really is…”“There must be some secret technique that you’re unwilling to tell us. If it’s only intuition, then you’re too amazing…” Xavier said.Xyla’s smile widened. “What secret technique could I possibly have? It’s just luck,” she said.“Luck is a kind of talent, too,” Xavier said.Regardless of what Xyla said, Xavier refused to believe that Xyla depended only on luck…Xyla must have a secret technique.She must have!Xavier needed to find out.Meanwhile, the old man was now like a mute.Apart from lowering his head as he repeatedly wiped the cold sweat off his face, he didn’t do anything else.After losing so much money, he was really about to go mad!“Sir… What would you like to do w
Chapter 1324
Xyla Quest saw a rock with a height and width of approximately one meter positioned next to the stall.There were scattered horsetail pines all over the original jade rock.From its exterior, it looked like the quality of the content wouldn’t be very good.However, Xyla had previously come across original jade rocks with terrible exteriors but were filled with glassy imperial green jade on the inside.Hence, she subconsciously activated her X-ray vision…Within a few seconds, she was able to see through the original jade rock’s surface. Her vision pierced the deepest part of the rock.The scene that came into sight shocked Xyla tremendously.There wasn’t any green jade inside, but there was the complete skeleton of an animal.Upon a closer look, she realized that this was a dinosaur fossil!Meanwhile, this object before her eyes was a rare, complete dinosaur fossil stone!Xyla never would’ve expected an ordinary rock like this to contain a dinosaur fossil!One ought to know

For example, Xyla Quest might have asked for it at 50,000 or 10,000 dollars…However, she didn’t try to bargain at all.Now, the stall owner was already entirely certain that he had bumped into a dumb person with a lot of money.He liked this kind of people the most.When Xavier York heard this, he instantly inhaled sharply. After that, his face turned solemn. “No… Why won’t you listen to me? Kiddo…”People around Xyla also took in a breath of cold air. None of them could understand why Xyla would spend 100,000 dollars on the lousy piece of rock…At one glance, that rock seemed low-quality.There was no point in opening it at all.“Why do I feel that Xyla really has misjudged it this time?”“So what? 100,000 dollars is nothing to her. It’s just some spare change to her.”“It’s normal for her to misjudge things. Nobody can always be right…”“Yeah. Sometimes, luck doesn’t always side with the same person…”People around Xyla started talking.Although Xyla heard what everyone

After that, Xavier York looked deeply at Xyla Quest and sighed. He went into the auction house and asked the three male employees dressed in tuxedo suits to come out and help move the rock…Right after that, Xyla Quest’s bodyguards and the three employees from the auction house worked together to move the rock into the auction house.Finally, they placed the rock horizontally on the cutting machine in the center of the auction stage.After putting it down, Xyla, Xavier, and the group of onlookers entered the auction hall together.Many people sat down at their respective tables.Meanwhile, Xyla followed Xavier onto the auction stage…Xyla glanced at the rock. After that, she borrowed a marker pen from Xavier…Right after that, she quickly activated her X-ray vision. She then carefully drew a long, black line on the longer side of the rock according to what she saw…This line could perfectly split the rock into half from the center…If the cutting was done precisely, not only c
