Reborn As Super Heiress

Capítulo 1525: Chapter 1509: Will They Compensate or Not?

“Boss Hu, what do you think Miss Huo’s jade is worth?”

Zhao Lijun chuckled, and the other members of the Jade Association looked mockingly at those raw material dealers.

These few members of the Jade Association have unraveled no less than ten pieces of raw material in this yard over the past two days, resulting in losses of three to four hundred thousand.

Three to four hundred thousand worth of raw material ended up being low-quality green, worse than the materials bought from ordinary gambling stone shops, making the losses substantial.

So when these members saw Huo Sining unveil a High Icy Lemon Yellow, even though the jadeite wasn’t theirs, they were still thrilled.

Being able to see these raw material dealers lose so completely, these people felt like the pent-up frustration in their hearts finally had a release; the feeling of revenge was truly satisfying and exhilarating.

The raw material dealer known as Boss Hu was the one who had previously threatened Huo Sining, and was also the leader among this group of raw material dealers.

This Boss Hu is from Tengchong, whose family has been living off gambling stones for generations. He doesn’t have any survival skills, having lived off selling gambling stones for decades.

However, this time, due to the Myanmar civil war, the Myanmar Government, in alliance with five major families, controlled the export of raw materials, affecting many domestic raw material middlemen, including Boss Hu.

Unable to sustain his livelihood, Boss Hu came up with this cunning idea: they massively acquired unwanted brick materials in the Ruili and Tengchong regions, and then took these junk materials nationwide to set up competitions.

They didn’t dare go to Guangcheng due to the influence of the Pingzhou Public Plate, which made experts abound there, and the jade association in Guangcheng had very strict regulations on the gambling stone market. So, after some planning, they chose a few cities.

In fact, before coming to Magic Capital, they had already been to Jiangcheng and Rongcheng, and had made quite a haul in those two places. They set up their stall for only a week in each city and sold many raw materials, netting millions.

It was precisely because of their great success in these two cities that they felt confident to try their luck in Magic Capital. However, unexpectedly, luck was not on their side, as only three days into their setup, they encountered Huo Sining, the disruptor, who not only revealed some Flower Green Species but also cut out a piece of High Ice Type.

At this moment, Boss Hu was feeling utterly miserable, privately regretting that if he had simply compensated this witch with one hundred ten thousand when she revealed the first piece of Flower Green Species, perhaps this heroine would have let them off easily, given their honesty and faith.

But unfortunately, he had no such insight at the time. In order to rob thirty thousand, he not only cheated but also resorted to verbal threats, finally forcing Huo Sining to bring out the big guns.

Among the spectators were many who lost their bets here, now gleefully watching this miserable Boss Hu.

Boss Hu, with a pained expression, kept silent, while Zhao Lijun, not one to hold back, couldn’t resist pushing further:

“What’s wrong, Boss Hu? Staying silent won’t solve anything. This is Magic Capital; do you think you can walk away from this debt?”

Zhao Lijun’s words made the faces of Boss Hu and the other raw material dealers turn pale, with Boss Hu trembling, lips quivering, and eyes reddening.

Huo Sining observed quietly, sighed inwardly, and shook her head silently.

The old saying goes, “Pitiful people must have something detestable about them,” and it’s undoubtedly true. If these Tengchong raw material dealers hadn’t resorted to such crooked means to make money, they probably wouldn’t have ended up in this situation.

The High Ice Type jadeite in her hand, even judged at market price, would be worth at least ten million, and according to the rules, these Tengchong dealers would need to compensate her with another ten million or more, which they probably can’t afford even if they strip to their trousers.

Greed knows no bounds, consuming those raw material dealers, and even the people who lost their bets here, are gamblers.

Everyone who comes here to gamble stones knows the trade; they spend money to gamble on these raw materials that aren’t worth their price due to greed.

Driven by profit, if there weren’t people seeking profit, then these few raw material dealers wouldn’t have succeeded, so no one is innocent in this situation.

However, since these raw material dealers have adopted such a method to make money, they must have already accepted that frequenting the river bank will wet their shoes; daring to act requires accepting the consequences.

“Miss Huo, can we talk privately?”

Now Boss Hu was truly out of options, his face looked awful, and he could only bite the bullet to negotiate with Huo Sining.

They all knew the high value of this High Icy Lemon Orange, and if they were to compensate according to the price, even paying out all the money they earned previously in Rongcheng and Jiangcheng wouldn’t be enough.

These people were not major raw material dealers, only middlemen, and didn’t hold substantial funds. If they were to compensate this over ten million, it would bankrupt them.

Of course, major raw material dealers wouldn’t engage in such foolishness; it’s the middlemen willing to take risks to accumulate funds quickly who resort to such shady paths.

“Talk privately? Why should we? Since you’ve signed the agreement, follow the processes, everything is protected by law, it’s just a matter of words, Boss Hu. Are you going to compensate or not?”

Before Huo Sining could speak, Zhao Lijun was already agitated, coldly retorting to Boss Hu.

No one is a fool, everyone understood his intentions when Boss Hu proposed to talk privately with Huo Sining, and thus their expressions turned disdainful.

“Exactly, just say whether you’re compensating or not!”

Zhao Lijun’s words immediately received widespread support, with the crowd backing Zhao Lijun and Huo Sining, surrounding the raw material dealers in the yard, yelling at them, clearly trying to press them into submission.

Faced with such aggression, Boss Hu’s face revealed a mix of shame, anger, and annoyance as he started calculating.

The High Ice Type jadeite requires compensation of at least ten to twelve million, with the four of them averaging three million each, emptying his entire capital, and neither Boss Hu nor his accomplices would be willing.

So Boss Hu’s eyes darted around, already planning how to escape.
