"Fan Xian Pavilion belongs to the Gambling Stone City!" Lu Fan chuckled, "Since you run a stone market, you should also abide by the rules. I know this is the territory of the Stone King and I won't cause trouble here, but for Fan Xian Pavilion to threaten like this, it might not be appropriate!"
"You jest, Fan Xian Pavilion does not threaten people," Ye Chen stated directly, "We are merely reminding young brother that even the most careful walker can trip by the river. If young brother insists on cutting this third stone, I will not stop you."
"Then let's cut it!" Lu Fan shrugged his shoulders, "No one has ever been able to stop me from doing what I want."
As soon as Lu Fan finished speaking, more than ten figures appeared within Fan Xian Pavilion. It seemed that with just one command from Ye Chen, these people would rush forward.
Many people retreated, further admiring Lu Fan's courage.
"What, are we going to fight?" Lu Fan asked with a nonchalant expression.
Lin Ke and the others also frowned. They had come to Gambling Stone City just to join the fun, never expecting to encounter such a situation.
"Young brother, you jest. This is Fan Xian Pavilion, such things will never happen here," Ye Chen smiled, and at the same time, he looked at the stone-cutting master, "Please satisfy the guest's requests as much as possible."
The stone-cutting master nodded, not daring to say anything more, and simply focused on his work.
Lu Fan and his companions stood aside, waiting quietly.
The others continued to watch. If the third stone yielded jade, it would be a testament to Lu Fan's discerning eye.
"Pavilion Master, should we teach this kid a lesson?" a man asked. "This kid is too arrogant, daring to cause trouble in Fan Xian Pavilion!"
"He is young yet has a sharp eye, his background is likely not simple," Ye Chen waved his hand. "I, however, am eager to see if this third stone actually contains jade."
"This… this is…"
As they were talking, the stone-cutting master exclaimed in surprise, even disbelief, his gaze fixed on the stone before him.
"This is… Imperial Green!"
Everyone was astonished, some even becoming frenzied, their composure failing them.
After a long while, the crowd finally reacted and shouted towards Fan Xian Pavilion, "Imperial Jade! Fan Xian Pavilion has unearthed Imperial Jade!"
Sounds erupted, and everyone's eyes were filled with astonishment.
At the counter, Ye Chen walked over, looked at the Imperial Green, and his expression gradually darkened. Imperial Green was extremely valuable, and Lu Fan's choice of three stones all yielding jade was a severe blow to Fan Xian Pavilion.
"Imperial Green…" Xiao Qi looked at Lu Fan strangely. From the beginning, he felt Lu Fan was not simple, and now he was only filled with awe.
"Imperial Green is extremely valuable, it can be auctioned for at least five million!" Squad Leader Zhou stated.
Lin Ke was bewildered. He didn't have much concept of this, but seeing everyone's expressions, he could tell how precious the Imperial Green was.
"Imperial Green is very valuable, rarely appearing, it can be said to be priceless," Ye Chen smiled. "Fan Xian Pavilion is willing to purchase the Imperial Green for five million."
Lu Fan waved his hand, "Imperial Green is a treasure, I have no intention of selling it!"
Many people looked at Lu Fan. They had been restless, but unexpectedly, Lu Fan had no intention of selling it.
"If the price is too low, we can negotiate," Ye Chen smiled. "Imperial Green is no ordinary item, Fan Xian Pavilion naturally values it!"
"The price is not an issue," Lu Fan stated directly, "But I bought the stones. Now that Imperial Green has been found, I naturally have the right to decide."
"That is natural," Ye Chen quickly said. "Fan Xian Pavilion guarantees the safety of the Imperial Green unearthed by Fan Xian Pavilion. However, once it leaves Fan Xian Pavilion, we cannot guarantee its safety."
"Are you saying I cannot take the Imperial Green out?" Lu Fan chuckled. "In broad daylight, is there anyone who would dare to rob it openly!"
"Such incidents happen quite often in the gambling stone world," Ye Chen said with a smile. "I hope young brother understands that selling the Imperial Green to Fan Xian Pavilion is the best choice!"
"And what if I refuse?" Lu Fan's expression was cold.
"Since that is the case, I have nothing more to say!" Ye Chen made a gesture of invitation. "You are welcome to visit again next time."
Lu Fan chuckled, and a surge of energy emanated from him.
Many people nearby were astonished, even calling Lu Fan the "Little Stone King." Such discernment meant he was no ordinary person.
However, Lu Fan paid no attention to this title.
"Pavilion Master, should we send people to intercept him halfway?" a man ran over and asked.
"He refuses the toast and insists on a fine. He doesn't even want five million, so let him get nothing!" Ye Chen said with a cold laugh. He was a disciple of the Stone King and managed Fan Xian Pavilion, how could he care about others?
"Brother Lu Fan, those people just now were so terrifying," Lin Ke said. "Will we be alright?"
"What could happen?" Lu Fan shrugged his shoulders. "Do they dare to rob us openly?"
"Mr. Lu, you may not know, but open robbery has occurred many times within Gambling Stone City," Squad Leader Zhou stated directly, "Especially since this is Imperial Green, which is extremely valuable!"
"It's fine!" Lu Fan's expression was indifferent; he didn't take it to heart at all.
Squad Leader Zhou felt a bit awkward and said no more.
"We've made a fortune today!" Xiao Qi looked at Lu Fan. "Are you going to treat us to a meal?"
"No problem!" Lu Fan nodded. "But it will have to be next time. You guys go first, I have the Imperial Green with me, and it will require some skill to leave!"
"How can that be?" Lin Ke shook his head. "Let's go together!"
"That's right, let's go together!" Xiao Qi nodded. "After all, there's strength in numbers!"
Unfortunately, before he could finish, a voice rang out, "Strength in numbers? How naive!"
A man, followed by a group of subordinates, surrounded Lu Fan and his companions. "No one is leaving today!"
"Fan Xian Pavilion is, after all, under the Stone King. It's not good to act so brazenly, is it!" Lu Fan sneered.
"Less nonsense, hand over the Imperial Green!" the leading man said without politeness.
Many people in Gambling Stone City watched, shaking their heads.
In Gambling Stone City, opposing the Stone King was tantamount to seeking one's own demise. Su Dan Novel Network.
"You can have the Imperial Green, but don't you dare regret it!" Lu Fan revealed a cold smile.
With Lin Ke and the others by his side, it was inconvenient for him to make a move, but Lu Fan was by no means a pushover.
"Regret?" the leading man laughed heartily. "Are you insane, kid?"
Lu Fan chuckled, took out the Imperial Green, and said, "This Imperial Jade is only worth five million, but if it's taken away, Fan Xian Pavilion will have to pay at least fifty million!"
The leading man sneered, took the Imperial Green, and said, "I've met boastful people, but never one as boastful as you! Fan Xian Pavilion awaits!"
Watching the Imperial Green being taken away with his own eyes, Xiao Qi was indignant but helpless.
Lu Fan, however, made a phone call and then looked at Lin Ke, "You guys go back first. I'll handle the rest!"
"But..." Lin Ke hesitated.
"Are you not even listening to me now?" Lu Fan frowned.
Lin Ke nodded reluctantly. He dared not disobey Lu Fan's words and could only leave Gambling Stone City with Xiao Qi.
