Chapter 634: Chapter 0636: Producing Jade

"Hold on!" Suddenly, a magnetic voice rose from the crowd.

Chu Ge stepped out of the crowd and approached Yuwen Kang Li, asking, "I remember there is an unwritten rule at the Gambling Stone Field. If someone wins at gambling stones, they can continue to stand on the platform and accept others’ challenges, right?"

Yuwen Kang Li did not expect Chu Ge to take the initiative to stand up. He sneered disdainfully and then said, "So what? Do you want to gamble with me?"

Chu Ge nodded lightly. Of course, otherwise, he wouldn’t have come forward.

"Do you know that there is another rule at the Gambling Stone Field? That is, the person who comes forward to challenge and loses, must leave behind one of his hands!"

Yuwen Kang Li said word by word.

This was indeed beyond Chu Ge’s expectations. He glanced sideways at Lin Dong, only to see Lin Dong frantically waving his hands at him.

"Mr. Chu, come down quickly. What he said is true!"

Lin Dong was so anxious that he was hopping on his feet in the crowd.

Chu Ge, however, nodded nonchalantly, "I see. Well then, let’s talk about the reward if I win."

Yuwen Kang Li was startled; he really did not expect that, with the conversation having reached this point, Chu Ge would still dare to challenge him.

Well then, let him witness my skill!

"You want to stand up for the Nangong Family, but you have to see if you have the ability," Yuwen Kang Li said with disdain. "Since you’re determined to gamble with me, let’s have a wager. If you win, I will return the shares I won from Nangong Yunrao back to you."

Chu Ge gently shook his head. What he wanted was more than that, "Plus ten percent of the shares from the Yuwen Family you hold in your hands."

Yuwen Kang Li was stunned, then glared at Chu Ge with slight anger, "You sure talk big."

"I think it’s fair. Let’s decide the outcome in a single match, how about it?"

Chu Ge said.

Seeing Chu Ge so confident, the competitive spirit hidden in Yuwen Kang Li’s heart was completely ignited, "Alright, I accept your challenge. Hmph, I have never lost in this Gambling Stone Field. Today, I’ll let you learn what regret means!"

"If you lose, your hand will no longer be yours."

During the preparation, Yuwen Kang Li walked up to Chu Ge, said these contemptuous words in his ear, and then strolled away.

Chu Ge stood in place. He did not respond to Yuwen Kang Li’s words, but Lin Dong couldn’t just stand by. He came up to Chu Ge and said, "Mr. Chu, how could you agree to him? In case..."

This match would determine everything. If Chu Ge won, all would be fine. But if he lost... he would lose an arm.

Chu Ge smiled faintly, "What makes you certain I will lose?"

"But..." Lin Dong didn’t know what to say.

Chu Ge raised a hand and patted his shoulder, then said, "Don’t worry. Don’t I still have a fifty percent chance?"

Seeing Chu Ge’s determination, Lin Dong could say no more. He sighed softly, and could only silently pray that indeed fortune favours the brave.

Nangong Yunrao walked up awkwardly. He said to Chu Ge, "Don’t think that just because you helped me, I would be grateful to you. I never asked for your help."

Chu Ge looked at him indifferently, an innocent expression on his face, "I think you’ve misunderstood. I never intended to help you. This share, I fought for it myself."

As soon as these words were spoken, Nangong Yunrao’s expression changed drastically. With a dark look on his face, he glared at Chu Ge, very displeased, "I knew it. You had ulterior motives for approaching the Nangong Family. It turns out that you have your eyes on the Nangong Family’s assets!"

It was as if he had discovered something incredible, and he said maliciously to Chu Ge, "I’m going to tell my grandfather everything about what you’ve done!"

After Nangong Yunrao finished speaking, he stormed off.

Chu Ge watched his retreating figure, shook his head helplessly, and sighed. Kids are indeed kids; the words they say are so childish.

Soon, the Judge rearranged a table, on which various stones were displayed. Chu Ge and Yuwen Kangli both stood firm before the table.

The stones on the table were also wrapped in red cloth; from the outside, nothing could be seen.

Chu Ge had already understood Yuwen Kangli’s basis for gambling on stones during his bet with Nangong Yunrao. He chose based on the size and shape of the stones, and although 90 percent of the stones selected this way contained jade, this method was still very risky.

Chu Ge gently lifted his hand, his fingers tapping on the table intermittently as he silently probed the stones on the table. Among these stones, there were all top-grade jades, but to his slight disappointment, there was no Crystal Jade that he wanted.

Chu Ge picked up a stone from the table before Yuwen Kangli could make a move, then looked up at Yuwen Kangli and said, "I’ve made my choice."

After speaking, he moved aside.

Even Lin Dong thought Chu Ge’s selection was too casual. There was only one round to decide the winner; it was too careless.

"Mr. Chu, you should take a closer look—maybe there’s something even better," Lin Dong whispered from the side.

Chu Ge lightly shook his head and looked at the stone in his hand, "Making more choices is unnecessary, the outcome will be the same."

Seeing Chu Ge’s confident demeanor, Yuwen Kangli felt extremely displeased inside. He looked down on Chu Ge with contempt. Of course, the outcome would be the same; such a hasty choice surely meant defeat.

Yuwen Kangli made his selection and looked up at Chu Ge, a hint of disdain on the corner of his lips, "You might as well think about how you’re going to live the days ahead without your hand."

The Judge took the stone from Chu Ge’s hand, shaking his head ruefully, "You really should have chosen more carefully."

Clearly, in his eyes, Chu Ge’s hasty selection of a stone was an irrational choice. This round, he was likely to lose.

Chu Ge stood there indifferently, handing the stone to the Judge, then stood with his hands behind his back, a faint smile on his face, "The result hasn’t come out yet; it’s too early to draw conclusions now."

"Hmph, a dying duck’s mouth is hard; you want to show off, you should pick a better time and place. This is not your home court."

After Yuwen Kangli spoke, he addressed the Judge, "Start."

The stone belonging to Chu Ge was opened first. When the stone was revealed, there were sighs of regret all around. Although the stone Chu Ge chose also contained jade, the color of the jade didn’t look too good; it might barely qualify as third-level material.

Yuwen Kangli watched Chu Ge confidently, "It’s too late for you to regret now."

"I have no intention of regretting. Yours hasn’t been opened yet; how can you decide that I’ve lost?"

Yuwen Kangli now just considered Chu Ge to be making one final stand and struggle. Well, he would soon let him have a good look at what kind of stone can yield good jade!
