Extraordinary Soldier King in the City-Chapter 555: Do You Dare to Accept the Challenge?

If it were any ordinary swindler, they’d definitely be in great distress at this point, giving themselves away.

However, the old lady was after all an expert in the art of deception. Her face quickly regained its composure, and the panic in her eyes vanished in an instant.

The old lady took a deep breath and then looked at Chen Feng with a determined face and said, "My stone is absolutely not a Waste Stone. Several jade masters have appraised it, and it definitely contains Emperor Green Jade!"

"What if it doesn’t?"

A slight smile curled at the corner of Chen Feng’s mouth as he spoke.

"It can’t be absent, it must be there. I deeply care for Brother Lu, and would absolutely not harm him!"

The old lady shook her head, very sure of herself.

And as she spoke, her eyes began to redden, as if she were about to cry, looking as though she had suffered a tremendous injustice.

That expression, that performance... had Chen Feng not had X-ray vision, had he not already seen that it was a Waste Stone, he might have believed her.

"Big sister, stop it, I believe you!"

Seeing the old lady’s eyes turn red, Grandpa Lu felt sorry for her and quickly stepped forward to pat her on the shoulder to comfort her.

"Brother Lu, I have your best interests at heart, as well as our future. But this kid is calling me a swindler and claims that the stone I sold you is fake. This really hurts my feelings. Brother Lu, if you really want to marry me, then immediately kick these two out!"

The old lady burst into tears on the spot, looking at Grandpa Lu as she cried.

"This..."

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Lu was suddenly in a difficult position.

After all, Chen Feng had been his savior, and in one day, he had saved him twice.

How could he have the heart to drive Chen Feng away?

Wouldn’t that be like losing his conscience to a dog?

"What, you don’t want to? Then I’m leaving. I won’t sell you the stone either, to spare others saying that I’m harming or tricking you!"

Saying that, the old lady made a show of preparing to leave.

At this, Grandpa Lu hurriedly held onto the old lady, persuading her, "Ah, don’t be angry. I will definitely buy this stone, but Xiaofeng after all is my lifesaver. It’s really not nice to ask me to kick him out!"

"What’s not nice about it? He’s spoken about me like that and you’re not going to do anything? I’m asking you now, are you kicking him out or not?"

The old lady looked at Grandpa Lu, relentlessly pressing her question.

"I..."

Grandpa Lu was immediately in distress, his brows furrowed tightly together, uncertain about what to do.

Seeing this, Chen Feng smiled faintly, then stepped forward and looked at the old lady, "You don’t need to act anymore, nor trouble Grandpa Lu any further. Let’s open your so-called stone that can reveal Emperor Green Jade now. If there is any jade inside, even just a speck, I’ll disappear on the spot!"

Upon hearing this, the old lady’s expression subtly changed and she responded with a hint of panic, "Why should we open it just because you say so? The stone isn’t yours. What if you damage the jade inside? Can you afford it? That could be an Emperor Green Jade worth tens of millions. Even if we sell you and all your possessions, you couldn’t compensate for it!"

"Heh."

Chen Feng chuckled and then took out a Black Gold Card from his pocket, tossing it onto the coffee table, and then said to the old lady, "There’s at least one hundred million in this card, and now I’m placing it here!"

"As long as there’s jade found in this stone, even a hint of green, then this one hundred million is all yours!"

"But if there’s no jade at all, then you owe me ten times that amount. What do you think? Do you dare to take this bet?"

Upon hearing this, the old lady’s face went pale.

Being an expert in appraising goods, she naturally recognized the Black Gold Card.

To get such a Black Gold Card from a bank, one would need at least fifty million in their account.

So, the old lady had no doubt about what Chen Feng said.

The elderly woman began to panic.

Because she knew all too well that it was a waste stone, definitely incapable of yielding jade.

Inside, there was nothing but stone, not even a hint of green to be seen.

If she truly accepted this bet, she would have to pay Chen Feng ten billion.

That would surely bankrupt her!

But if she refused, it would seem as if she had something to hide.

You see, prior to this, she had sworn with absolute certainty that there would be green inside, and not just any green, but the purest Emperor Green Jade.

If she now showed any hesitation because of Chen Feng’s challenge, she would certainly give herself away.

There was a chance that the con she had so painstakingly set up over several months could collapse because of this.

So, for a moment, the old lady simply didn’t know how to choose.

This bet, she couldn’t accept nor could she reject it.

It put her in a real bind.

Chen Feng naturally noticed the conflict in the old woman’s eyes. With the corners of his mouth slightly raised, he smiled and said, "What’s the matter? Are you not confident about your stone, huh? Just now, weren’t you guaranteeing that this very stone would produce green? My one billion, it’s like a giveaway to you, why the hesitation now?"

"Who... who said I’m hesitant? I just don’t want to! Besides, why should I make a bet with you? I’m selling this stone to Brother Lu, I’m not going to gamble with you over it. Unless Brother Lu agrees, though I’m sure he won’t!"

The old woman firmly retorted.

"Oh, is that so?"

Chen Feng’s mouth curved slightly, and he then turned to look at Elder Lu, smiling as he said, "Grandpa Lu, this stone, do you mind if I open it right now?"

"This... Let’s open it now. Once it’s opened, the truth will come out!"

Elder Lu hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Ah! Brother Lu, don’t!"

The old woman’s face changed, and she hastily tried to stop him.

"Big sister, why not open it? Just open it, and if there’s jade inside, wouldn’t that prove your innocence? Big sister, I have faith in you!"

Elder Lu said with a smile.

He still tended to believe the old woman a bit more at this point.

"But this stone is tied to our future happiness, we can’t open it now. We should wait a while, let it appreciate in value before opening it, wouldn’t it be better to make more money then?"

The old woman quickly concocted a reason.

"It’s all right big sister, your older brother isn’t lacking that bit of money, let’s open it now!"

Elder Lu said with a chuckle.

"All right then!"

Chen Feng nodded, then stepped forward to pick up the stone, formed his right hand into a blade, and chopped down directly.

The old woman, seeing this, her face drastically changed. She wanted to stop him, but it was already too late.

With a "crack" sound, the dark stone instantly split into two pieces.

Elder Lu quickly leaned in to look at the side where the stone had split.

This look left Elder Lu completely stunned.

Because inside the stone, it was still stone; there wasn’t a trace of green!
