Chapter 133: Chapter 131: Polishing

Hearing Hu Ban’s words, a resonance stirred among the crowd, finally revealing their purpose for being there.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I propose that we force the Li Family out of the Nanhong City’s raw stone purchase market. Let’s not sell any jadeite raw stones to them. Just look at his gaze, buying nothing but crap. It’s best to kick them out of our Nanhong City for good!"

Hu Ban said loudly, with a tone of moral righteousness and lofty ideals.

"That’s right, refuse to trade with the Li Family, defend Nanhong City’s reputation!" The surrounding crowd shouted madly.

This was Hu Ban’s true intention; he wanted to take full control of Nanhong City’s jewelry market. However, the collaboration between the Li Family and the Lu Family was a high wall to him. Only by knocking down this wall could he truly dominate the market.

Ye Feng chuckled coldly, "A bunch of shortsighted rats, do you all have X-ray vision? Or are you ’Prophets’? How can you know the quality is poor without cutting the stone?"

Ye Feng’s words, though not loud, clearly reached everyone’s ears.

Everyone was startled and then got angry. Hu Ban glared at Ye Feng as if he wanted to kill someone.

"Little bastard, who are you calling shortsighted?" Hu Ban glared at Ye Feng like a wild beast about to tear apart its prey.

"Are your eyes bad, and your ears deaf too? Naturally, it’s everyone present..." Ye Feng said calmly.

"Sss..." Hearing Ye Feng’s words, both Li Xue’er and Li Linfeng were taken aback.

They hadn’t expected Ye Feng to be so bold, showing no fear and directly mocking everyone present.

A hint of contempt flashed in Lu Hangfeng’s eyes. His previous admiration for Ye Feng had completely vanished.

"Brat, do you know who I am? No one in the entire Nanhong City has ever dared to talk to me like this, not even Lu Hangfeng. Ask him if he dares to be so presumptuous!" Hu Ban, with his face full of arrogance, looked at Lu Hangfeng.

Lu Hangfeng just kept a gloomy face and said nothing.

Lu Kang whispered into Lu Hangfeng’s ear, "Dad, I told you that kid is an idiot. Now do you believe me?"

Lu Hangfeng shook his head helplessly, "I never imagined Elder Li would send such an ignorant person to this auction..."

After hearing Lu Hangfeng’s words, Elder Li’s face turned red with anger, and he began to waver, feeling utterly unsure of himself.

Among the hundreds of attendees, not a single one was optimistic about stone number six. Could it be that Ye Feng really made a mistake?

Hu Ban said, "Li Linfeng, I can overlook this insolent kid’s words, but from now on, you must withdraw from our Nanhong City’s market!"

"Right! Must withdraw from the market!" The crowd shouted loudly.

It was then that Li Xue’er stood up because she remembered the words Ye Feng had said to her. She chose to believe Ye Feng. If she didn’t even have trust in him, how could she continue to be his little fan girl?

"Ye Feng is right; you are all a group of shortsighted rats! You’re calling the stone worthless without even cutting it open. What do you think you are, immortals?" Li Xue’er shouted angrily.

"Hahaha~~" Hu Ban laughed loudly, looking at Li Linfeng, "Li Linfeng, could your little granddaughter be on her period? She’s even speaking up for this kid. You really need to improve your judgment. If you don’t believe me, let Seventh Uncle tell us about the value of stone number six?"

Li Linfeng felt utterly humiliated and embarrassed, "Xue’er, stop talking. Let’s go home. Even if it’s a loss today, I accept it. It’s just a little money..."

Li Xue’er shook her head, full of trust in Ye Feng, "I won’t go! Why should I? I believe in Ye Feng. Let Seventh Uncle come and see, does this jadeite raw stone have any value or not?"

Hu Ban laughed, "Good! Seventh Uncle, you’ve heard it. You are the top expert in Nanhong City, the most authoritative. Go and have a look, tell us the value of this raw stone!"

Seventh Uncle, with a look of disdain, shook his head, "No need to look, it’s trash. Buying it for sixty million, losing fifty-five million is normal!"

"Do you hear that!" Hu Ban called out excitedly, "Even Seventh Uncle says it’s trash, what else do you have to say?"

"Humph! If Seventh Uncle can’t see its worth, then it means Seventh Uncle is not as good as my Ye Feng. If he’s more amazing, what’s an outsider like you spouting nonsense for?" Li Xue’er still had immense trust in Ye Feng.

A smile appeared on Ye Feng’s lips; he hadn’t expected, with so little contact, that Li Xue’er would believe in him this much.

Li Linfeng felt a deep sense of embarrassment, "Xue’er, stop it, let’s go!"

"Go? Since it’s like this, then let’s cut the stone right here and see what the value of stone number six really is! If it does have value, I’ll kneel and apologize to this kid right on the spot!" Hu Ban said confidently.

Seventh Uncle nodded as well, "I’ve lived most of my life. If my vision is not even comparable to this kid’s, I’ll take him as my master!"

"Alright, did everybody hear that? In that case, Li Linfeng, if you lose, get out of our Nanhong City market. Do you dare?" Hu Ban looked at Li Linfeng, pressing him aggressively.

"You’re too impulsive, Xue’er!" Li Linfeng, feeling humiliated, shook his head helplessly.

But Li Xue’er looked at him seriously, "Grandfather, doesn’t this scene seem familiar to you?"

Li Linfeng shuddered; he remembered the day they met Ye Feng.

Yes, how similar this scene was. Before, wasn’t it that no one believed in Ye Feng? And yet, hadn’t Ye Feng succeeded?

"Fine! Let’s bet!" Li Linfeng, invigorated, agreed briskly.

"Alas..." Watching Elder Li so readily agree, Lu Hangfeng shook his head helplessly, thinking he was about to lose a partner.

Then, workers quickly brought over the Stone Cutting Machine, and the raw stone was moved in front of it.

Everyone looked coldly at Li Linfeng and Ye Feng, waiting to see their embarrassment.

"Let’s begin then!" Hu Ban said to the Stone Cutting Master.

"Wait!" Ye Feng called out.

Hu Ban smirked coldly, "Kid, it’s come to this point, and now you want to back out? Trying to pull one over on Hu Ban? You’d better think clearly before you speak!"

Ye Feng ignored Hu Ban and said lightly, "I want to polish this raw stone!"
