Chapter 307: Jade in the Stone

"Hmph, what do you mean by whether there is such a reason or not? What we say is the reason!" The stall owner snorted coldly, "This stone is a top-grade Qingxin strange stone. Can it be compared with ordinary commodities? You asked the price but didn't buy it. Wouldn't it affect our next sale?"

"What's more, since you asked the price, it means you are interested in buying this stone. Then I asked you how much you want to buy it, but you said you don't want to buy it. Isn't this playing tricks on people?"

The stall owner asked aggressively, but the people around could hear that this was completely some specious reasoning, the purpose was to blackmail people.

"In short, since you asked the price of this stone, you have to take it whether you want it or not." The stall owner snorted coldly, "But I'm not that unreasonable person. You can name a price, as long as it's not too different from my offer."

This means that Su Chen and his friends must buy this stone, and they must buy it at a price not less than 4,500 taels.

Isn't this a blatant scam?

The people around couldn't stand it anymore. If it weren't for the fact that the stall owner had some connection with the Poison Wolf Sect, they would have come out to speak up.

Su Chen shrugged: "What if I don't buy it?"

"Haha! If you don't buy it, we won't force you to buy it. But..." The stall owner sneered, and the several accomplices around him had taken out sharp blades and played with them in their hands without knowing when, with obvious threats on their faces.

Su Chen pretended to be afraid and looked at those people, saying: "I'll buy it, but I don't have that much money on me. How about three thousand taels?"

"Three thousand taels?" The stall owner frowned, "Three thousand taels is fine! But you have to pay immediately!"

Su Chen took out three silver notes of one thousand taels from his arms and handed them over.

The stall owner took the silver notes in his hand, rubbed them with his thumb, and showed a satisfied look on his face. This seemingly ordinary boy unexpectedly has some family background, and he can actually take out three thousand taels at once. This deal is really profitable.

"This stone is yours, take it!" The stall owner threw the stone to Su Chen like throwing rubbish. This stone is not a Qingxin strange stone at all, but just an ordinary stone found in the well in his own yard. It has no value at all, and is used to blackmail people. How much money is sold is how much net profit.

Gu Qianyin saw it, but in his heart he knew that Su Chen must be thinking of something crooked again. These people are just a few street hooligans, and Su Chen can't be unable to deal with them. So Su Chen pretended to be blackmailed, and there could only be one reason, that is, he was calculating these people.

Su Chen took the stone thrown by the stall owner in his hand, smiled lightly, and suddenly raised his fist and knocked it down hard.

Bang! The true essence hit the stone, and the stone was immediately cracked, and a dazzling green light suddenly came out from it.

This strange scene attracted the attention of everyone present.

"Is there something inside this stone?"

"It's amazing. I thought it was just an ordinary stone."

As Su Chen broke the stone, everyone gradually saw the true face of the object in the stone. It was a piece of emerald green jade with aura flowing. It was extraordinary at first glance.

Hiss!

An old man in the crowd took a breath and walked up quickly. He looked at the jade in Su Chen's hand carefully, "This is a piece of top-quality Yutian jade, very rare, rare, rare, rare."

The old man was surprised and said three rares in a row, then raised his head and looked at Su Chen, "Sir, I am the shopkeeper of Qi Yu Zhai. I wonder if you can give up this piece of Yutian jade to me. I am willing to pay 100,000 taels of silver."

100,000 taels!

The people around opened their mouths wide. The stone bought for 3,000 taels became 100,000 taels in a blink of an eye, and the price increased by more than 30 times!

The most important thing is that this seemingly ordinary stone actually contains a piece of valuable jade, which is something that no one could have imagined.

Even the stall owner opened his mouth wide, unable to believe what he saw. But he quickly reacted and shouted, "Boy, this is my stone, give it back to me."

"I just spent three thousand taels of silver to buy this stone from you, have you forgotten?" Su Chen asked back.

The stall owner immediately took out the three silver notes from his arms and threw them over: "This is the three thousand taels of silver you just paid, now give me back the stone, I won't sell it to you!"

Su Chen looked at the stall owner with a look like a lunatic: "Are you okay? You just rushed to sell it to me, but now you regret not selling it, are you kidding me?"

Su Chen used the stall owner's original words just now to ridicule the stall owner.

How could the stall owner not hear it? He felt a tightness in his chest, but he forced himself to suppress it and said, "That's right, I was just teasing you! Now, can you give me the stone back?"

Su Chen shook his head: "That won't work. There are so many people watching here. The deal is done. If you want to take the stone from me again, you have to pay for it. But I don't want to sell you the stone for three thousand taels."

"Boy, you..."

The stall owner was so angry that he could see that Su Chen was doing it on purpose, pretending to be cheated. In fact, Su Chen had known that there was Yutian jade in this stone.

This kid is really abominable!

"It's not up to you. You have to sell it whether you say so or not!"

The stall owner simply reached out to grab Su Chen, but before his hand touched Su Chen, he was slapped away by Su Chen.

Bang! Su Chen's slap was so powerful that he slapped the stall owner directly onto the wall of a nearby building, making a loud noise, and then slowly slid down and fainted.

The people around were stunned. How could this seemingly ordinary boy have such great strength?

Moreover, he could actually slap the stall owner away with a slap, which means that he is fully capable of dealing with the stall owner. So, when he pretended to be cheated before, could it be that he had already seen the mystery in this stone?

If that was the case, then the young man's scheming was too terrible. The stall owner and his group blackmailed him, but he did not teach them a lesson directly. Instead, he tricked the stall owner and his group into selling a treasure worth 100,000 taels at a low price of 3,000 taels, and lost 97,000 taels in one go. No matter when they think of this incident in the future, it will definitely be heartbreaking.

Teaching them a lesson in this way is much more impressive than simply using force.
