Chapter 208: Chapter 208: The 4 Million Wager

Xiao Zheng and Wang Renze’s gambling drew more and more attention until finally, even the mayor of Zhonghai City and the CEO of Barry Group had arrived.

The crowd revealed a look of awe in their eyes as they saw these two tycoons, and they all made way for them to reach the front.

Even Wang Renze’s face showed a fawning, ingratiating smile.

These two were truly big shots!

One was a high-ranking official and the other a financial magnate, both with incredible influence, standing at the very pinnacle of the nation!

"Hahaha, we’re just here to take a look, we’re somewhat interested in this stone-gambling. Don’t mind us; carry on, carry on," the CEO of Barry Group said with a chuckle, not putting on any airs. His few words livened up the atmosphere once more.

"He is..." The Mayor of Zhonghai City, upon seeing Xiao Zheng, showed a puzzled look, feeling that Xiao Zheng looked very familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

"It’s him!" After a moment, as if a lightbulb went off in his head, the mayor suddenly remembered Xiao Zheng’s identity, Sky Net, Evil God! He revealed a look of shock in his eyes.

The Mayor of Zhonghai City, after all, was the person in charge of Zhonghai, and as soon as Xiao Zheng returned to Zhonghai City, Futu quickly sent Xiao Zheng’s information to his desk, keeping him informed.

Seeing Xiao Zheng now, he was naturally shaken.

At this moment, Xiao Zheng also wore a slight smile, looking at the Mayor of Zhonghai City, and then he nodded slightly.

The Mayor of Zhonghai City immediately understood Xiao Zheng’s intention and also nodded back with a faint smile.

He could see, Xiao Zheng seemed not to want to expose his identity here. The Mayor of Zhonghai City, having climbed to his position and weathered many storms, was adept at maintaining his composure.

Although his heart was shocked, he quickly concealed it and acted as if he and Xiao Zheng were strangers.

"Hehe, let’s get started."

At this time, Wang Renze looked at Xiao Zheng with a smile.

"Alright."

Xiao Zheng nodded.

Wang Renze immediately entered the rough stone area, wandering around in search of raw stones. Eventually, he stopped in front of a massive stone weighing over a thousand pounds.

"I’ll choose this one!"

Wang Renze declared.

The crowd gasped in surprise.

The base price for the raw stones here was five thousand per kilogram. But some stones, the special ones, were even more expensive!

The stone Wang Renze had chosen was worth at least seven to eight million!

It was no surprise for the CEO of Wang Group to make such a grand gesture, something not just anyone could compare with.

The stone-cutter also said with a smile, "Mr. Wang has good eyesight; this stone has a name, called Divine Split Stone. Although it’s expensive, it will definitely contain top-grade jade!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd turned their gazes towards Xiao Zheng, filled with sympathy. It seemed like Wang Renze was not planning on giving Xiao Zheng any way out!

This stone appeared almost certain to yield top-grade material.

And the price for such a stone would be counted in the millions, maybe even tens of millions!

If Xiao Zheng lost, how could he afford to pay?

"It’s your turn, Xiao Zheng. If you want to give up, it’s not too late. I can guarantee, that previous bet could just be considered void," Wang Renze said with a smirk that was not quite a smile.

He appeared very generous on the surface, but his intention was to humiliate Xiao Zheng!

"Hehe... This kid, seems like he doesn’t know what kind of monster he has provoked," the Mayor of Zhonghai City couldn’t help but laugh to himself upon seeing this.

In the venue, perhaps only he knew how terrifying Xiao Zheng was. The title of Evil God was enough to give the great powers of the West a headache!

Xiao Zheng simply smiled nonchalantly, ignoring Wang Renze’s provocation, and walked into the rough stone area. A purplish-red light flashed in his eyes as he activated his "Perspective Divine Eye."

Suddenly, on a piece of stone, he saw an extremely dazzling light. That light was much more intense than that of the stone Wang Renze had selected!

The brightness of this light even slightly shocked Xiao Zheng.

"I’ll choose this one!"

Xiao Zheng pointed to a stone that weighed over one hundred kilograms and said.

Everyone looked over and noticed that its price tag was four million; it was considered quite good, but compared to the top-notch stone Wang Renze had chosen, it was far inferior.

"It seems Xiao Zheng is going for broke!"

"Yeah, he might not have as much money as Mr. Wang and wants to win, so he picked a stone that’s the limit of what he can afford."

All the people were discussing spiritedly.

They weren’t particularly optimistic about Xiao Zheng.

Whether it was in terms of appearance or price, Xiao Zheng’s stone would have a hard time beating Wang Renze’s!

"Sister Mo, you should have money, right? Although I plan to buy this stone, I don’t have that much money, so I can only borrow from you," Xiao Zheng said to Mo Anna with a smile after he had picked his stone.

"Huh?"

Seeing this, everyone frowned slightly.

You know you don’t have the money, yet you still borrow? If these four million go down the drain, how will you repay it?

Suddenly, many people looked at Xiao Zheng with changed eyes, full of contempt. In their view, Xiao Zheng was making things difficult for others!

Some socialites who had been attracted to Xiao Zheng because he gifted Mo Anna a jadeite worth more than two million now changed their minds.

Exploiting women, what kind of man does that?

"Heh, if you’re short of money, you can borrow from me, why make things hard for Anna?" Wang Renze said with a mocking tone.

In an instant, many eyes were fixed on Mo Anna, curious to see how she would respond. Mo Anna didn’t have any significant background, and four million was practically all her fortune for someone in her position!

Without a moment’s hesitation, Mo Anna said straight away:

"Okay, I’ll buy it."

The way everyone looked at Mo Anna changed immediately; such a decisive character wasn’t something that just any woman could possess!

This kind of boldness, even many men couldn’t match it!

Instantly everyone began to admire Mo Anna.

"What a pity, such a heroic woman among women, an extremely excellent person, has actually taken a fancy to someone as reckless and headstrong as Xiao Zheng. It’s such a waste," many people sighed softly.

In Wang Renze’s eyes, however, a strong jealousy was flickering, and his hostility towards Xiao Zheng intensified!

"Good."

At this moment, Xiao Zheng smiled and nodded his head, pleased with Mo Anna’s reaction.

Then he turned to Wang Renze and said, "Let’s start, since you chose your stone first, you cut first."

"Humph, just don’t beg me to spare you when you lose!"

Wang Renze snorted coldly and commanded the stone-cutter to start cutting.

With a stone weighing more than a thousand kilograms, they had to use some large equipment. After several minutes of preparation, the stone was finally fixed in place, and then the stone-cutter began his work.

Eyeing the lines carefully, the huge stone-cutting machine made a direct cut right through the center of the stone! Only a faint sound was heard as the stone-cutting machine entered the stone.
