Chapter 1322
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

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
Chapter 1327
This scene instantly petrified everyone in the hall…Everyone’s eyes subconsciously widened as they held their breaths, including Xavier York and the people on stage and the people off stage.The entire world suddenly became quiet.It was pin-drop silence.“Oh my god… There’s a dinosaur fossil inside this thing?”“Who could’ve imagined this? This thing doesn’t contain jade! But it contains a dinosaur fossil!”“A perfect dinosaur fossil like this is worth at least a few ten million dollars!”“What’s it like to be the luckiest person alive? I think Xyla would know. Oh my god! I feel embarrassed and dizzy.”“If I’d known earlier, I would’ve bought it…”After the people below the stage were stunned for a few seconds, they all started discussing among themselves.Right then, everyone was extremely excited.Meanwhile, Xyla was also feeling extremely satisfied as she looked at such a perfect rock.Xavier, who was next to her, looked at the dinosaur fossil on the cut surface with a

“I wonder who’s the idiot. Do you know what came out of that rock of yours?” The male passerby asked.After saying that, the male passerby walked away…The stall owner’s eyes filled with curiosity. “What?” He looked at the male passerby as he left.However, the male passerby didn’t answer him.Out of curiosity, the stall owner left his stall and quickly ran into the auction house.As soon as he entered, he saw the footage on a large screen on stage.Right then, the large screen was displaying the cut surfaces of the two halves of a rock on the stage…When he saw the dinosaur fossil on one of the cut surfaces, he was utterly stunned…‘What’s going on?‘Is that dinosaur fossil?‘Isn’t it worth way more than 100,000 dollars these days?‘It’s worth at least a few ten million dollars!’Did he actually sell something worth a few ten million dollars for 100,000 dollars?In fact, he was even pleased by himself and mocked the person who bought it from him for being an idiot.Now,
Chapter 1329
What? Did someone already offer forty-five million dollars?Goodness!The forty-five million dollars should’ve belonged to him!“Forty-seven million…” Someone offered a higher price…The person who offered the price was an old man wearing a tuxedo suit with short, white hair that parted in a three-to-seven ratio.Once this price was offered, everyone else became quiet…Seeing that nobody was offering a higher price, Xyla looked below the stage. “Forty-seven million, going once… Forty-seven million, going twice… Forty-seven million, going thrice…” She said.“Alright. Since nobody is offering a higher price, I’d like to announce that my dinosaur fossil is sold to this old man…” Xyla added before politely extending her hand and pointing at the old man.Suddenly, there was thunderous applause.After the old man and Xyla looked at each other and smiled, he politely nodded at everyone.“Forty-seven million… D*mn… That’s even higher than forty-five million…“This money should’ve be
