C13 Jade Market
At the same time, a chill came from behind.
His eyes widened.
"Another trash at the early stage of the Light Force."
Lan Xiangyu's voice was filled with disdain.
His opponent, however, was stupefied.
Early stage Light Force … Trash?
No matter where he was, he was still an expert!
Bang!
He didn't even finish his words as Lan Xiangyu's fist landed on the back of the person in front of him.
The assassin spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, unable to stand up again.
Lan Xiangyu had a helpless look on his face. He was a little too excited just now and couldn't control his strength properly.
Sigh, why must this unlucky fellow provoke me?
Lan Xiangyu shook his head. At this moment, Ye Lan walked over with a large group of bodyguards.
The bodyguards directly controlled him, but Lan Xiangyu's punch that crippled the assassin's ancient martial arts did not kill him. Of course, this was also why Lan Xiangyu retracted his strength at the last moment, otherwise, it would be hard to say if the killer was dead or alive.
When she saw the assassin's face, Ye Lan's expression turned ugly.
She recognized the face.
An international first-rate professional, nicknamed Cobra, an expert at the early stage of Light Force!
However, what surprised her even more was Lan Xiangyu. This person looked sloppy, yet he easily dealt with the experts at the early stage of Light Force.
How many more secrets did this guy have?
An idea appeared in Ye Lan's mind.
"Lock this person up first."
Ye Lan's voice was cold again, and the bodyguards quickly left.
At this moment, Ye Lan looked at the masked Lan Xiangyu and was silent for a moment before she said, "Mr. Lan, thank you."
"There's no need to be polite, we're all family."
To Ye Lan, what happened in the underground parking lot today was just a small episode in her long life. Naturally, she wouldn't put too much effort into it.
She could deal with this sudden assassination, but what about her daughter?
Ye Lan's eyes flashed with determination as she looked at Lan Xiangyu, who was resting with his eyes closed.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the jade market.
This place was located in the Second Ring Area of the Capital City. It was a specially constructed market that took up a huge amount of space. Inside were auction houses, rock blocks, jade appraisal offices, jade purchases, and other vendors.
She turned her head to Lan Xiangyu and said, "You have to be careful here. The transaction of the jade is half real and half fake, and it's all based on luck. The jade merchants often use a large number of fake goods to confuse the public. Once you buy the fake things, you can only admit defeat."
Lan Xiangyu nodded. The stone gambling industry was also very popular in other worlds, so he was very clear about the inner workings.
More importantly, Lan Xiangyu was very confident in his judgement.
"Where is the stone?"
Lan Xiangyu said after thinking for a while.
These words made Ye Lan frown. Stone gambling was the most risky. Normally, people who came for the first time would not choose to use this method to choose jade.
However, since Lan Xiangyu asked for it, there was no need for her to stop him. Soon, she brought Lan Xiangyu to a stone gambling place that was not small.
There were quite a few people here, making it look like a huge garden. On the ground, there were many different sizes of raw materials. The stonecutter stood at the side with a calm expression, watching the customers choose.
"The prices of these stones vary depending on their quality. What you offer depends on your standards."
Ye Lan explained in detail. Lan Xiangyu's face was calm, the stone gambling den in the Other World was basically the same as this place, with some rules similar. Looking at the ores placed in front of him, Lan Xiangyu shook his head.
However, when Lan Xiangyu saw a tall rock in the corner, he smiled and walked towards it.
Ye Lan was stunned for a moment before she followed him.
The crowd's gaze followed Lan Xiangyu.
"How much is this?"
Lan Xiangyu smiled as he patted the rock that was as tall as a person in front of him. His voice was filled with excitement.
A wave of boos came from the crowd.
There were too many ways to gamble with stones, and the bigger the stone, the better it was.
It could even be said that he had done the opposite.
From a glance, one could tell that this fellow was an outsider.
The crowd's face was filled with disdain, they wanted to look at Lan Xiangyu's expression after he was tricked.
The stonecutter didn't even bother to look at Lan Xiangyu. He remembered the origin of the stone, it was found when the people below were mining. Also, the gambling den had asked for an expert to appraise it, there shouldn't be any good stuff inside, otherwise they wouldn't have placed it here.
"Thirty thousand."
The stonecutter ignored Lan Xiangyu's question and didn't bother to look at him anymore.
He had seen too many people like this. He could even imagine Lan Xiangyu's gloomy face after he finished driving the stone.
Thirty thousand dollars might not be a lot, but it was still money.
Just as he was about to say something, Ye Lan hurriedly took two steps forward and said, "You have to think this through. In my opinion, there won't be any good stuff in here, even if you and I don't lack this money, but you still insist on opening it even though we know there's nothing inside. Wouldn't you be willing to be a fool?"
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Lan Xiangyu didn't care about Ye Lan's interruption. He lightly patted the ore on the back and said, "This one!"
The employees of the gambling den immediately walked over. This huge rock had been here for a whole week, and some of them knew that there was nothing here. They had originally planned to throw it away, but they didn't expect to bump into someone they didn't know.
More importantly, this outsider was still a local tycoon.
Looks like I'll have to scam him in a while.
Under the direction of the stonecutter, a few staff members walked over with tools in hand.
The crowd's gaze also gathered on this side. They really wanted to see Lan Xiangyu's bitter face next.
Ye Lan shook her head and took a few steps back.
Just as the few staff were about to make their move, Lan Xiangyu suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Wait."
With a single sentence, he stopped the staff member's movements. The stonecutter's expression didn't look good.
"Guest, our workshop's rule is that once you choose, you can't change. I've already given you a few chances just now, what is the meaning of this?"
Obviously, in the eyes of the stonecutter, Lan Xiangyu regretted it.
He had no choice but to start threatening her.
"Who said I was going to go back on my word. I just want to drive by myself."
Hearing this, the stonecutter heaved a sigh of relief. However, Ye Lan had completely given up. It seemed like she would have to spend the thirty thousand today.
Forget it, let's just treat it as Lan Xiangyu spending money to buy a lesson.
She didn't need the money anyway.
