The Legend of the Miracle Doctor
Celine's expression changed, she asked coldly, "What do you want, Wilbert? Wasn't that the prize Brian had chosen?" "That was indeed the prize he chose, but the rough jade stone still belongs to me. So, it doesn't matter which one I choose. Ultimately, whatever comes out of this stone after being cut will be his." Wilbert said. "You..." Celine was about to retort, but Brian stopped her, "Let it go, Celine, let Mr. Wilbert use it if he wants to. I don't mind, as long as what's inside the stone becomes mine." Then, Brian pointed to a rough jade stone not far from there and said, "For this round, I choose this one." The rough jade stone was about half a meter tall and weighed around two to three kilograms. Its price, after being weighed, was even higher than before, which was 100 million.Although the stone looked ordinary, everyone's attention immediately shifted to Brian because of the events in the two previous rounds. Even the staff carrying the stone behaved very cautiously. The staff quickly brought both stones. Then, Brian said, "Please start, Mr. Wilbert." "You go first this time," Wilbert replied. Wilbert, who had split the stone first in the two previous rounds and ended up in absolute defeat, let Brian start first this time. "It doesn't matter." The order of who splits the stone was not an issue for Brian. He then turned to the stone-cutting masters and said, "Everyone, please split the stone." Several people together lifted the stone Brian chose onto the stone-cutting machine and began cutting it. The sound of grinding could be heard for a full 10 minutes, but there was still no sign of any green color appearing. However, the audience still waited hopefully, considering what had happened with the red jade stone just now.Nevertheless, there was still no jade in sight even after the stone was cut in half. A faint smile appeared on Wilbert's lips. After three rounds, a glimmer of hope finally emerged for him. It seemed that Brian's luck had run out. Brian stared at the stone that had been split in two, then pointed to the piece on the left side, saying, "It's there. Polish it carefully." The stone-cutting masters then polished half of the stone, and a bright purple color immediately appeared. Wilbert's smile froze instantly. The purple jade stone, also known as amethyst, is usually very rare. Could it be that Brian has such extraordinary luck to find an amethyst stone? Wilbert's suspicion was confirmed by the actions of the stone-cutting masters. A volleyball-sized amethyst jade stone was displayed in front of everyone. After being rinsed with water, a bright light shone from the amethyst jade stone. Under the sunlight, this stone gave the impression of a beautiful, wealthy, and powerful person to anyone who saw it. In ancient times, the color purple was often associated with royalty. From the royal flower to the forbidden city or auspicious fortune-telling to the government's binding ribbon. This is why amethyst jade stones are valued so highly. "Oh my goodness, that's an amethyst stone! A genuine amethyst stone! I've been to so many Rough Stone Exhibitions, but this is the first time I've seen an amethyst stone..." "The rough jade stone I saw last time wasn't as big as this, and it was sold for over eight billion. In that case, how much could this stone be sold for..." "This young man is truly amazing, he is truly blessed by the star of luck. The three rough stones he chose are all high-quality jade...." Celine gazed at the purple jade stone with a thoughtful expression. "Celine, why aren't you saying anything? You want this amethyst stone, right? Just take it if you want," Brian said. "I..." Celine took a deep breath and suppressed her excited feelings, then said, "I do want it, but I can't afford to buy it." “Why? Is this jade stone really that valuable? Is it more expensive than the two jade stones earlier?" Brian asked in surprise. From his perspective, the spiritual energy inside this jade stone was more or less the same as the red and green jade stones earlier. Therefore, he thought that the price should be the same as well. Celine smiled sadly and said, "In the archipelago, these are the most expensive rare items. Because they are scarce, their prices will be higher. But if there is only one piece of purple jade stone, its price is approximately 40 billion. What's more important is that there are also the red and green jade stones from earlier. There is a saying in the jade business that someone will either gain happiness, position, and long life, or their business will go bankrupt. It is very rare to find jade stones with three different colors appearing together, so the price will definitely soar. If these three jade stones are sold together, the price will at least double. The minimum price is around 140 to 160 billion. The Kasadi Group has prepared 200 billion to buy the rough stones this time, but we have already spent 60 billion just now. So, the remaining money is not enough to buy this stone." The people around immediately became excited upon hearing Celine's explanation. "This young man is truly lucky! He can collect the three colors representing happiness, position, and long life in just one purchase! And all his jade stones are of high quality!" "If only I had such luck! Fourteen to sixteen billion would be enough for me to live comfortably for the rest of my life." "They say that gambling with stones is like holding a double-edged sword that will show either heaven or hell...." I think this young man will soon fly to heaven. After listening to Celine's explanation, Brian chuckled, "Who will gain happiness, position, and long life, or have their business go bankrupt? Isn't this just three stones? I will give them all to you. You don't have to pay me a penny." For Brian, his greatest success today was successfully obtaining the purification bottle of the sacred monster artefact. Furthermore, he managed to win over 600 billion from Wilbert and also obtained the ownership transfer contract for Xanadu Complex. It can be said that this time Brian managed to make a lot of money. He wouldn't have achieved this if it weren't for Celine inviting him, so he willingly gave the three jade stones to Celine. "I bought it on behalf of the company, so I can't just ask for your items. Here's what we'll do, give me some time and I will prepare the funds." Celine also hesitated to let go of the three jade stones, so she immediately instructed her subordinates to bring the three jade stones to her car. Brian turned to Wilbert and said, "Your turn, Mr. Wilbert."Seeing his opponent successfully collect the three rough jade stones symbolizing happiness, position, and long life in three consecutive rounds, Wilbert's feelings became mixed. Envy, resentment, and unwillingness all mixed together. But now, he didn't care so much. They were now in the third round of gambling and Wilbert had no way to turn the situation around if he lost again. With that in mind, Wilbert said to the master stone cutter, "Cut my stone." Anyway, there is still a glimmer of hope in Wilbert's heart. The three rough jade stones that Brian had not shown before, but instead made this stone a betting prize. This means that this particular rough stone must be very valuable. Some of the stone cutters also seemed to realize this fact, so they carefully split Wilbert's chosen stone. Half an hour later, the stone was split into four pieces. However, the inside was completely empty. There was no green or red color at all. Absolutely no trace of jade color. "How is this possible?" Wilbert bet that Brian wouldn't target it for no reason, so there must be something good inside this rough jade stone. He shouted again, "Split the stone into more pieces! There must be jade inside!" The stone cutters felt very helpless. In cases like this, the chances of finding jade are very slim. However, they had no choice but to obey Wilbert's command. One of the stone cutters took half of the rough stone and placed it on the stone cutting machine. The blade spun, and then a "Crack!" sound was heard. Whatever was cut by the grinder, the blade suddenly broke into two.
