Chapter 60 - 60 0060 The Duan Family's Elder Ancestor

60: Chapter 0060: The Duan Family’s Elder Ancestor 60: Chapter 0060: The Duan Family’s Elder Ancestor The old man was followed by a tall foreigner, his face bearing an air of pride.

After the two of them came to a stop, the old man reached out a hand towards Chu Ge: “I presume this is Mr.

Chu?

I have long heard that Mr.

Chu’s medical skill is like divine communication, having pulled Mr.

Ouyang back from the brink of death.

Now that I see you in person, you truly stand out!”

Chu Ge hadn’t expected this old man to greet him first, and raised his eyebrows, but still reached out to shake hands: “And you are?”

“Oh, I forgot to introduce myself.” The old man laughed: “My surname is Duan, Duan Congxing.

If you’re pleased, call me Mr.

Duan, and if not, Old Duan is also fine.”

Despite his kindly appearance, upon hearing his name, almost everyone present inhaled a sharp breath.

Duan Congxing, one of the Four Great Families of Modu, the Old Master of the Duan Family – indeed a family that stands on equal footing with the Ouyang Family!

After shaking hands, Chu Ge immediately stepped back, his eyebrows furrowing deeply.

Now he finally understood what was amiss; when he shook hands just now, he had quietly channeled a part of his True Qi into the other’s body and instantly found that Duan Congxing’s heartbeat was several times faster than that of a normal person!

This was why he seemed so vigorously energetic, but with his age, such a rapid heartbeat clearly indicated that he was overdrawing his life to maintain his vitality.

Moreover, during the examination, Chu Ge discovered a strange kind of True Qi within his meridians, which carried a slight corrosivity, somehow similar to the poison Mr.

Ouyang had been tainted with back then.

“Could it be that the poison in Mr.

Ouyang’s body is related to the Duan Family?” Chu Ge took a good look at Duan Congxing but did not say much.

“Ouyang Yunbao, you won last time by luck, but this time, I will make you cough up everything with interest!” Duan Congxing said coldly with a sneer.

The faces of several members of the Ouyang family tightened, but none said a word, as with the two Old Masters present, they had no place to interject.

“Old Man Duan, long time no see, your verbal prowess has indeed improved!” There was clearly no love lost between the two, and Mr.

Ouyang did not give him any grace, gesturing to a service staff of the Ouyang house: “Prepare the site!”

In the middle of the room, there was a table about five to six meters long and over two meters wide, which had been covered with a black veil until now but was unveiled at this moment, displaying dozens of stones of various sizes.

Dozens of men dressed in black ran over, surrounding the table while leaving enough space in the middle.

“Please!” Mr.

Ouyang made a gesture, walking to the table first, and Duan Congxing followed with a cold snort along with the foreigner.

Everyone in the room had no interest in picking items anymore; they all gathered around, watching the few figures present with fervent eyes.

This was a competition between the Ouyang and Duan families, a matter which if leaked could even shake the entirety of Shanghai!

“Ouyang Yunbao, the rules haven’t changed, right?” Duan Congxing suddenly asked.

Mr.

Ouyang huffed, slapping the table: “Of course not, whoever loses, must forfeit ten percent of their family’s assets!”

There was a collective sharp intake of breath from everyone present, and even Chu Ge’s gaze flickered.

Ten percent might not sound like a lot, but remember, both parties are among the Four Great Families of Modu, entities that can overshadow others with a wave of their hand; the assets in their families are beyond imagination!

Ten percent could create a major family in any slightly ordinary city.

Duan Congxing nodded in satisfaction, his gaze sweeping over the three of them.

When his eyes landed on Luo Tianmu, his expression momentarily froze: “Could this be…

Mr.

Divine Eye?”

“Indeed!” Luo Tianmu nodded, his face wearing a touch of proud color.

Duan Congxing furrowed his brows, a hint of worry rising in his eyes as he looked at the foreign man behind him.

The foreign man seemed to be in his thirties, dressed in a black tailcoat, with a flash of disdain passing through his emerald-green pupils, he spoke in broken Chinese: “You…

rest assured.

I…

gambling stone…

have never…

lost!”

“I naturally believe in Mr.

Klaus’s abilities.”

“Humph, all talk and no action!” Luo Tianmu scoffed coldly: “Do foreigners even know about gambling stone?”

After saying that, he glanced at Mr.

Ouyang: “Mr.

Ouyang, rest assured, the essence of our Huaxia, how could I allow a foreigner to tarnish it?

I will make him return the way he came!”

Hearing this, Chu Ge couldn’t help but take another look at Luo Tianmu, feeling somewhat favorable towards him.

It seems that this old man’s nature isn’t that bad, probably just burdened with traditional thinking, which is why he was dissatisfied with me earlier.

Mr.

Ouyang nodded: “Then I’ll leave it to Mr.

Divine Eye!”

“Nonsense!” Klaus walked to the table, touching the stone and said: “I knew the rules…

when I arrived.

Each person…

ten pieces, compare the value!”

“Shall we start then?” Duan Congxing said.

Mr.

Ouyang waved his hand: “Start!”

The atmosphere on the scene instantly tensed up, Luo Tianmu’s face became serious, he first moved a stone the size of a head, then picked up a few the size of fists, observing them closely.

Compared to him, Klaus seemed much more casual, after a quick glance at the surrounding stones, he picked one roughly the size of a washbasin.

“Have you…

made your choice?”

Hearing Klaus’s question, Luo Tianmu sneered, waving his sleeve: “Certainly, I’ve chosen this one!”

Saying so, he patted the stone the size of a head.

Mr.

Ouyang called out, and the professional personnel who had been waiting for a long time came over, carefully started stone opening.

As the stone chips sprinkled down bit by bit, those around couldn’t help but hold their breath.

Although Luo Tianmu was confident in his choice, his face was now focused and frowned as he watched.

“Jade has appeared, jade has appeared!” Suddenly someone shouted, Mr.

Ouyang turned his head and glared, and that person immediately shut up, making an apologetic gesture.

However, the scene had already become noisy, only to see the stone chosen by Luo Tianmu, after peeling off about two fingers thick layer of stone skin, revealed a layer of pure, delicate jade!

The stone opener looked back, seeing Mr.

Ouyang nodding as a signal, then steadied his nerves and cut again.

Duan Congxing and the others also turned their attention, especially when the stone was half opened and the jade base was still not visible, Duan Congxing’s face started to look a bit unsightly.

“Crack—”

Finally, with a soft sound, all the stone chips were cleaned off, and the jade inside was revealed.

“Wow—” the crowd erupted into a complete uproar, if it wasn’t for their phones being taken away when they entered, probably many would have been unable to resist taking a photo by now.

On the table, a piece of jade as big as a human head glowed dimly in the dim environment!
