Chapter 296:

“This raw jade from Nolworth has been carefully examined by experts. They estimate there’s an eighty to ninety percent chance it holds glassy species jadeite, and its texture is of excellent quality. The bidding begins now, with a starting price of six million.”

Nolworth raw jade was highly favored by jade gambling enthusiasts, due to its potential for yielding both yellow and green jade, offering a wide variety and a thrilling challenge.

Bidders eagerly raised their paddles.

“Ten million!”

“Mr. Ruiz, it seems you’re determined to get this Nolworth raw jade. What a pity, I like it too! Eleven million!”

“Humph, stop fighting over it. I’m taking this jade! Twelve million!” Bohumil Ruiz said.

Within five minutes, the bidding price had surged close to twenty million. Ultimately, it was secured by Bohumil, the first bidder, at the price of twenty-two million.

On stage, “Benedict” maintained a proper smile, standing there like a decorative piece. Offstage, the real Benedict grinned.

This batch of raw jade was all low-grade, with less than a fifty percent chance of producing green jade.

He let out a chuckle, his eyes narrowing slightly, and gently said, “Alright, I’ll kill him for you.”

Harlee turned to face Rhys, raised an eyebrow, and narrowed her eyes, her gaze turning icy.

“No need to dirty our hands over someone like him,” she said, tilting her chin and pointing at Karina.

“Let them fight it out themselves. That’s perfect.”

Rhys narrowed his intense eyes slightly.

“She hurt Hamilton. She must die today!”

Harlee shook her head and softly replied, “It wasn’t her. It was her sister. She just used you to get rid of Aaron.”

Harlee pulled out her phone, brought up Karina’s information, and handed it to Rhys. Rhys skimmed through it quickly, his gaze growing even colder.

Harlee said lazily, “She dared to use you to remove a thorn in her side. I want her. Will you…”
