Chapter 63: Chapter 0063: Fatty Tang’s Anger [Part 2]

Feeling Fatty Tang’s anger, Chu Feng nudged him gently and asked, "What’s wrong Brother Tang?"

Fatty Tang said vehemently, "I know who’s trying to screw me over."

Chu Feng was surprised and asked, "Who is it?"

Fatty Tang glared at an old man in his fifties wearing a Tang suit with a smile on his face inside the Bai Family store, grinding his teeth as he said, "It’s that old bastard. I should have known it was him."

From Fatty Tang’s expression, it was not hard to see that his feud with the old man opposite was not just a matter of a day or two. The grudge between the two must be deep, but since Fatty Tang did not say more, Chu Feng naturally did not ask. After all, doesn’t everyone have some secrets?

When Ma Hong and his two companions arrived at the Bai Family’s site, the Bai Family’s people immediately became very alert. The feud between the Bai and Ma Families was not new, either.

Ma Hong, looking at the guarded people of the Bai Family, smiled slightly and said, "Brother Bai, is this how your Bai Family welcomes business?"

The person who came from the Bai Family was as young as Ma Hong, but his face was shady, indicating he was a very sly and petty person.

Bai Kai stood up, looked at Ma Hong, and revealed a smile, saying, "Young Master Ma, what brings you to patronize our Bai Family’s business? Could it be that the Ma Family’s rough jades aren’t up to scratch, and you want to pick out some good ones to boost your reputation?"

Bai Kai’s words were very loud, obviously meant to be heard by everyone around.

Not angered, Ma Hong replied with a slight smile, "Does Brother Bai not welcome me?"

Bai Kai did not expect Ma Hong to remain unbothered, and this made him somewhat confused about what Ma Hong was up to.

However, if he were to say he didn’t welcome him at this point, it would make him seem small-minded, but if he said he did welcome him, he felt something was not quite right. This left Bai Kai in a tough spot for a moment.

Ma Hong said, "If Brother Bai does not welcome us, then we’ll leave. If the Bai Family isn’t doing business today, surely there must be others who are."

Upon hearing Ma Hong’s words, Bai Kai cursed internally, "Damn it."

The implication of Ma Hong’s words was clear: if the Bai Family refused to do business with its first customer today, it meant they were closed for business. And the first day often yielded the highest sales—necessarily, if the Bai Family didn’t open for business on the first day, their loss would be tremendous.

"Welcome! Of course, welcome! Young Master Ma, please choose anything you like!" Although Bai Kai was seething inside, he still maintained a smiling façade.

The man in the Tang suit, as if he had just noticed Fatty Tang, stood up and warmly said, "I never would have guessed that Nephew Tang would also come to select rough jades. Would you like your uncle to send someone to help you choose? Managing such a business on your own is not easy, so you must pick carefully."

Although the old man wore a smile, it gave off an incredibly uncomfortable feeling.

Fatty Tang’s expression turned cold as he said, "Your thoughtfulness is appreciated, but I can’t trust those backstabbing, clueless people you have working for you."

The man in the Tang suit, taken aback by Fatty Tang’s directness, looked displeased and sighed, saying, "Are you still holding a grudge against your uncle, Nephew Tang? The incident back then was entirely agreed to with your father’s own signature. Your uncle was in a very difficult position, you know? In hindsight, you should thank me. Without me, how would you have known about your own abilities?"

Fatty Tang, through gritted teeth, said, "I will indeed thank you, and I also intend to take back what’s mine."

Hearing Fatty Tang’s words, a vicious flash crossed the old man’s eyes, but he retained his smile and said, "Since that’s the case, I’ll give you a chance to reclaim what’s yours. Since we are both here to gamble on jade, let’s make an additional gamble on the stones. Each of us will have our people choose a stone, and then we’ll cut them open right here. We’ll appraise the value afterward, and the difference between us will be paid double to the other party, how does that sound?"

Without a moment’s thought, Fatty Tang said, "Good!"

Before the man in the Tang suit could speak, Fatty Tang added, "We are the guests, so we choose first!"

The man in the Tang suit frowned slightly but still nodded and said, "That’s fine."

Ma Hong, who had not said a word so far, addressed Bai Kai only after Fatty Tang had finished speaking, asking, "Brother Bai, you don’t have any objections, do you?"

Bai Kai replied with a faint smile, "Of course not. I just open my doors to do business. I don’t get involved in customers’ private conflicts."

Ma Hong, hearing Bai Kai’s words, felt profound contempt. If he weren’t involved, then no one would have tried to assassinate Fatty Tang.

The betting had just started and was already intense, immediately attracting many onlookers.

Turning around, slightly nervous, Fatty Tang said to Chu Feng, "Brother Chu, my entire fortune and life are in your hands now. If I lose, I’ll only be able to beg for food."

Chu Feng looked at Fatty Tang and felt somewhat amused. Fatty Tang had been so fierce before, and now he was getting scared.

Chu Feng laughed and said, "From what you’re saying, if I lose, I’ll have to feed you too?"

Fatty Tang said, "If you lose, I’ll follow you for the rest of my life, and you’ll be in charge of my food and drink!"

Chu Feng said, "Then I’d better win. With your size, you’d eat me out of house and home."

After that, Chu Feng stepped out, ready to gamble on jade stones.

"Nephew Tang, are you really letting such a person represent you in jade gambling? If you want to be acquired, there’s no need to make it so obvious," the man in Tang suit sarcastically remarked upon seeing Chu Feng.

Chu Feng looked up at the man in the Tang suit and said, "From what you’re implying, it seems you don’t think highly of me?"

The man in the Tang suit didn’t speak, but his expression made his thoughts quite clear.

Chu Feng said, "How about this, let’s make a bet as well? If I win, you owe me one billion, how about that?"

The man in the Tang suit’s eyebrows twitched, but he still said nonchalantly, "Do you have a billion to bet with me?"

Before Chu Feng could speak, Ma Hong said, "I have a billion. If Brother Chu loses, I’ll cover his loss with a billion. Besides, I’m offering odds for another two billion betting on Brother Chu to win, anyone interested can join in."

Although Ma Hong said it was for anyone interested, his eyes were fixed on Bai Kai.

At this moment, Bai Kai certainly couldn’t back down, he smiled slightly and said, "Young Master Ma is so spirited, I can’t be a wet blanket. I’ll play too, and put up two billion against Young Master Ma."

And before it even started, the stakes had reached six billion, not even including the personal worth bet between the man in the Tang suit and Fatty Tang.

This immediately ignited everyone’s enthusiasm, no one had expected such an explosive situation on the first day.

Although those who came here were all wealthy, the thought of a six to seven billion gambling event was enough to get the blood racing.

Chu Feng said, "Since there are no objections, shall we start now?"

"Of course," the man in the Tang suit said with a smile.

The Bai Family’s situation wasn’t much better than the Ma Family’s, most of it had already been picked over, leaving either the good-looking ones or the high-risk ones.

But risk was a non-factor to Chu Feng. He could feel whether or not there was jade within the rough stones.

Chu Feng walked around and finally stopped in front of a piece of brown Stone Skin.

The Stone Skin was entirely brown, a typical brown skin, which, even if it hid any green, would not be pure.

Chu Feng hadn’t noticed, but the man in the Tang suit did, there was a patch treated with moss by the Bai Family underneath the Stone Skin.

Moss was the natural enemy of jade; generally speaking, rough stones with moss stood no chance of containing jade.

The man in the Tang suit sneered, waiting to see how Fatty Tang would cry later.

After choosing the first piece, Chu Feng continued towards the next one.

"Wait!" the man in the Tang suit abruptly stopped Chu Feng.

Chu Feng looked up, "Are you having second thoughts?"

The man in the Tang suit was amused by Chu Feng’s audacity and said, "You’ve made your selection, now it’s my turn."

Chu Feng’s behavior made the man in the Tang suit even more certain that Chu Feng was a complete amateur.

Of course, his thoughts weren’t wrong, Chu Feng was indeed an amateur.

Chu Feng frowned and said, "You only said I could choose first, you didn’t say I could only choose one piece."

Once Chu Feng finished speaking, not just the man in the Tang suit, but everyone else laughed too.

Ma Hong and Fatty Tang, however, were frowning hard. Especially Fatty Tang, who was extremely anxious; stakes as high as his entire fortune were no joking matter. But recalling the miraculous things Chu Feng had done in East River, Fatty Tang decided to trust Chu Feng unconditionally. As for Ma Hong, he would also trust unconditionally anyone he had faith in.
