Chapter 39 The Stone That Glows!

The reason why Andrew helped Aleeza was entirely because Aleeza had just helped Emily at the T.Y.

International Hotel. So, this was considered as returning a favor to her!

After a short while, the two arrived at the Shouxian Palace in the north area of the city.

This was a store that specialized in selling all kinds of precious stones, and could also be described as

the kind of store that gave people the opportunity to gamble on stones.

After just walking in, there were already several people gambling on the stones. In fact, gambling on

stones fully depends on luck. With good luck, many people could become rich overnight. With bad luck, Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

people might also go bankrupt in just a day.

So, a proverb that will be used on people who gamble on stones, becoming rich or going bankrupt is

just one cut away.

Andrew was not interested in gambling, so he did not even look at what those people were playing.

Instead, it was Aleeza who spoke with interest, “This stone is probably an ‘Icy-Blue Blooming’.”

The meaning of ‘Icy-Blue Blooming’ was normally used in describing the structure and the base of the

jade. When describing as ‘Blooming’, it means that the jade has different colors mixed in. So, it will not

be considered as an extremely special jade. It could only be considered a normal one and it normally

would be used to create bracelets and other jewelry.

Not long after Aleeza spoke, the stone was cut open and the fellow who cut it shouted, “Icy-Blue

Blooming!”

Andrew could not help but smile and said, “You're very experienced.”

Aleeza laughed, “I've seen my dad play even since I was a kid. This maybe a talent of mine as I've

never been wrong when it comes to gambling on stones.

Andrew nodded, and Aleeza then brought Andrew to meet the boss, “Boss, where's the stone I've been

wanting to buy?”

The boss was a slitty-eyed and skinny person with a small beard. He looked like a genius. If a person

was not smart when working in this profession, then that person was in trouble. So, the appearance of

this boss was also considered to be in line with his occupation.

“Hey, you’re back! I knew you were experience in this profession and could not let go of this nice stone

of mine.” The boss said with a smile, then walked out and led Aleeza to the stone.

It was not a big stone, about the size of a basketball, and the outside of it was very smooth.

Aleeza shone a flashlight on the stone and the stone was able to penetrate the light from the flashlight.

She said to Andrew, “Andrew, I said that I won't lose in gambling, but I really can't look through this

stone. To say it is a good jade, but it contains some flaws that I don't quite understand. To say it is a

bad jade, but the jade has all the characteristics of good jade.”

Andrew stretched out his hand to touch the stone, and his originally expressionless face instantly

became astonished.

He frowned and his body emitted a powerful internal force from the inside out. When the internal force

merged with the stone, the stone suddenly emitted a strange bright light.

The people who were present saw the bright light and instantly gathered around.

“Damn, the stone is glowing, this stone should be a fucking good one.”

“There must be jadeite in it, and it might be a pure one!”

Andrew let go of his hand and let out a long sigh. The bright light slowly dimmed and finally returned to

its original state.

“Well? Andrew.” Aleeza looked at Andrew with a face full of surprise.

She had seen such a scene once before. When she was very young, a strange man touched a stone

with his hand and the originally black and dull stone instantly lit up, that scene was exactly the same as

what Andrew had just done.

She never thought that after so many years, she would still be able to see such a strange and bizarre

thing to happen again.

“Aleeza, you can buy the stone, but I don't know if it's worth it after you cut it open.” Andrew calmly told

Aleeza.

Aleeza’s expression changed slightly. She then nodded and said, “Boss, I'll take it.”

“Thank you, Andrew.” Aleeza said politely.

The boss rolled his eyes and he said with a sinister smile, “Sorry, miss, someone has already booked

to buy this stone. The price he offered is much higher than the one you just offered.”

“What?” Aleeza asked, her eyes widening.

The boss continued, “Yes, miss. Not long after you left, Ray came and told me to reserve this stone for

him. The price he offered was five million. It’s ten times more than the five hundred thousand you just

offered.”

This boss was obviously increasing the price on the spot. This was because he saw the stone emitting

light and heard people around him say that there must be something great inside the stone. So, he

naturally raised up the price.

“You!” Aleeza nodded and said, “Alright, boss. I told you to reserve the stone for me as I will come back

later. I even gave you a deposit of ten thousand yuan. You actually went and sold it to another person.

It’s fine, tell Ray to come over, I'll see if he wants it.”

“Great!” The boss laughed, “I can call Ray to come over right now.”

People in this circle all knew who Ray was. He had the say in everything at north area of the city. This

place, Shouxian Palace, also belonged to Ray.

In a short while, a dozen cars drove towards the Shouxian Palace.

In front of a Land Rover car came down a bald person. There was a scar on his bald head as if it was

cut by a knife. He had a thick gold necklace dangling from his neck and he was smoking with a cigar on

his hand.

When he walked, he kept swaying. He was definitely the mob boss of that area.

The group of gamblers saw Ray coming and gave way for him to walked through.

At that moment, Ray walked over with big strides and asked, “Boss Lee, which person wanted the

stone that I have already had my eyes on?”

“Ray! It's her, it’s this lady.” Boss Lee replied while pointing at Aleeza.

Ray put his gaze on Aleeza’s figure, and his eyes almost popped off. Aleeza’s aura and her looks was

simply perfect. He choked down a mouthful of saliva and said, “Is it this lady who wants my stone?”

As he said that, he came in front of Aleeza. His eyes kept looking at Aleeza’s face.

Aleeza’s stared at Ray and said, “First of all, this stone is not yours, I saw it first and paid the deposit to

the boss. Anyone who works in business should know the first come, first served principle, I came first,

so this stone should rightfully be bought by me.”

The boss smiled and said, “No, in business, the highest bidder should get it, as earning profit in the

goal when doing business. Ray offered five million while you only offered five hundred thousand, do

you think I would like to give it to you, or to Ray?”

“Hey! Boss Lee, don't say that. If this lady really likes this stone, I'll just let her have it. Miss, if you buy it

for five million yuan, I will give you this stone.” Ray acted like if he was the righteous one.

The objective of these two was obvious, they wanted to trick Aleeza in giving out a large sum of money!

Aleeza said, “Sorry, I'm only offering half a million, and I must have this stone.”

“Oh? Is that so? That's fine, then, I'll take the loss, I've already made a deal with Boss Lee anyway. I'll

sell you the stone for half a million.” Ray looked as if he had vowed to do so.

Aleeza instantly felt a bit confused, the person Ray, must have another reason to do so.

Soon, he showed his true intention, “However, I have a request, and that is for you to stay a night with

me.”
