The Beautiful CEO’s Close Bodyguard
Chapter 59 - 59 0059 Gambling Stone Expert

59: Chapter 0059: Gambling Stone Expert 59: Chapter 0059: Gambling Stone Expert “No, I’m just looking.” Chu Ge shifted his gaze away from the jade.

Although the jade was fine and contained ample Spiritual Energy, he was now at a bottleneck, only a step away from reaching the Innate level, so this little Spiritual Energy was no longer of much use to him.

Mr.

Ouyang nodded, and neither brought up the incident at the last banquet.

Chu Ge touched a stone and suddenly halted.

He clearly felt a pure Spiritual Energy contained within the stone.

He tried to absorb it and found that he indeed drew the Spiritual Energy into his body, and correspondingly, the jade inside turned into broken fragments.

This discovery startled Chu Ge.

It meant that he didn’t need to spend a lot of money buying jade; he could just go to the Gambling Stone Field, couldn’t he?

“Does young brother Chu understand gambling stones?” Mr.

Ouyang saw Chu Ge’s hand lingering on the stone and quietly asked.

Chu Ge hesitated a bit and nodded, “I know just a little, that’s all.”

“Hmph, ignorant lad, do you think gambling stones are that easy?” A voice suddenly came from the side.

Luo Tianmu, dressed in a black Tang costume, walked over, his gaze skipping past Chu Ge and turning to Mr.

Ouyang: “Mr.

Ouyang invited me here, it can’t just be to appreciate treasures, right?”

Luo Tianmu was only a few years younger than Mr.

Ouyang and thus respectfully addressed him as ‘Mister’.

“What’s the rush, Mr.

Divine Eye, rest assured, there will be a time when you shine!” A flicker of displeasure crossed Mr.

Ouyang’s eyes, obviously dissatisfied with Luo Tianmu’s arrogant demeanor.

Yet, Luo Tianmu either did not notice or simply did not care, his focus turning directly to Chu Ge: “Hmph, naive child, the knowledge within gambling stones is vast; how could an immature boy like you understand it?”

Faced with such repeated provocations, Chu Ge’s expression grew cold, and he sneered: “Then does Mr.

Divine Eye have any better insights?”

“Not really an insight,” Luo Tianmu responded with a hint of arrogance, clasping his hands behind him, “But offering some guidance to the younger generation is still possible.”

In such a short time, the surrounding area had gathered a crowd, after all, whether it’s Mr.

Ouyang or Mr.

Divine Eye, both are central figures.

Regarding Chu Ge, because many present had not attended the previous banquet, there were few who recognized him.

“Finally, seeing Mr.

Divine Eye in action again!”

“Yes, it’s said that Mr.

Divine Eye is incomparably skilled, and has never lost at gambling stones!”

Listening to the surrounding discussions, Luo Tianmu smiled and nodded, pointing to the stone Chu Ge had touched, “This stone contains a fine piece of jade!”

People’s eyes focused hotly on Chu Ge, if Mr.

Divine Eye said it was good jade, it must indeed be a treasure!

“I’ll offer one hundred thousand, young brother, how about you let me have that stone?” Someone with a pot belly promptly made an offer.

“I offer one hundred and fifty thousand, give it to me.” The bid came from a medium-built man wearing golden rimmed glasses.

“I bid one hundred eighty thousand!”

“Two hundred thousand, young brother, let me have it!”

A round of bidding swiftly unfolded, and even Mr.

Ouyang’s eyes shimmered with admiration.

He had naturally heard of Mr.

Divine Eye’s reputation, but had not expected it to be so effective with just one sentence, and the people had started bidding even before the stone was opened.

Yet, Chu Ge wore a strange expression on his face.

Indeed, the stone initially contained a fine piece of jade, but now the Spiritual Energy was drained by him, leaving just a pile of broken jade fragments.

“Are you sure?” Chu Ge rubbed his chin and asked.

“Of course.” Luo Tianmu scoffed disdainfully: “I never change my choices!”

“Alright then.” Chu Ge nodded, stopped a worker who wanted to start opening the stone, and grasped the stone in his hand, exerting a little force.

“Crack—”

Everyone’s gaze froze.

That was a stone!

And yet it broke just like a biscuit in his hands.

Luo Tianmu’s pupils shrank, his expression changing.

“There’s jade, there’s jade!” Someone suddenly shouted.

Among the fallen debris, there was a melon seed-sized piece of jade, but it looked dull and was nearly indistinguishable from the stone.

As Chu Ge crushed the whole stone, the scene inside was revealed—numerous melon seed-sized pieces of jade scattered throughout the stone, all looking dull.

Such a sight wasn’t even worthy of being termed a treasure; it was doubtful anyone would take it even for free.

The few who had bid earlier were first stunned, then their faces showed relief.

Although the money wasn’t significant to them, it would still have been an ill-fated purchase.

“Mr.

Divine Eye, is this the treasure you spoke of?” Chu Ge barely held back his laughter and taunted.

Luo Tianmu’s face looked somewhat ugly.

Seeing this, Mr.

Ouyang chuckled and smoothed things over: “Mr.

Divine Eye has been on a plane for a whole day and night before arriving in Shanghai, and was brought here without rest.

It’s normal to make mistakes when tired.”

He still had use for Luo Tianmu, so naturally, he wasn’t going to strain their relationship.

Luo Tianmu also took this opportunity to step down: “I haven’t rested well for several days.

Just now, I only sensed that there was jade in this stone, but didn’t precisely figure out what kind.”

However, after this incident, he no longer felt comfortable troubling Chu Ge.

Most of the items here were not owned by the Ouyang Family; rather, other people deposited them here, marked with prices, or items they wanted in exchange, then the Ouyang Family facilitated the trades without charging any fees.

Mr.

Ouyang’s approach made Chu Ge sigh slightly; by providing the space and even facilitating the sales of treasures for free, it sounded like a losing business, yet the Ouyang Family was forging many shallow connections through this process.

These connections might not seem apparent usually, but once utilized, they would become a profoundly formidable force!

“Old Man Ouyang, I didn’t expect you to still be alive?” A voice suddenly rang out from afar, all present faces changed at this address—who dared to call Mr.

Ouyang like that?

Mr.

Ouyang’s face also changed, squinting as he looked towards several people approaching him.

Leading them was an old man dressed in a white Tang costume, with a full head of silver hair but looked incredibly spry, his face glowing red, resembling a person in their twenties.

Chu Ge eyed this old man, but secretly frowned.

This old man looked extremely healthy, yet Chu Ge noticed a faint layer of blood in the old man’s eyes, giving him a strange aura.

“Hmph, Old Ghost Duan, if you haven’t died, how can I possibly die first?” Mr.

Ouyang coldly snorted, obviously recognizing the old man.
