Chapter 43: Settling Scores

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The store owner felt that he had such a rotten luck—Su Lingsheng was Lei Min’s dearest love, and she met with trouble at his place. Who knows how he would settle scores with him in the future. After closing the store’s door, the store owner pulled a long face as he walked towards the backyard.

The backyard was piled with different types and sizes of ore, which were many times more than what was displayed in the store.

“Where is the thing?” the store owner said as he swept a look at a servant.

That servant understood tacitly and pointed at a room.

“All right, you all can pack up and head back early today. Also, that stupid brat appeared out of nowhere, yet created so much trouble for me,” the store owner mumbled and walked towards that room.

In the room, two people were grinding a piece of gigantic natural stone, and a dull blue ore glowed bright under the candlelight. The store owner’s originally depressed face, after seeing that dull blue, left completely and his mouth tilted upwards at an angle to give a proud grin.

“Boss, this stone’s quality is not bad. We have almost opened half of the stone, yet have not opened the ore fully. It seems like there is plenty of the ore inside.” The man opening the stone turned to say to the store owner.

The store owner nodded, pleased, and looked at the dream stone that was slowly being opened. The smile on his face widened even more. He sat immediately on the chair at the side with his legs poised in the air and said, “my luck today was bad, but at least there is still some consolation. That stupid brat was so quiet, who knew that her luck would be so good for her to choose two pieces of stones with sky-high prices.”

“You are still the smart one, boss, knowing to hide this piece of stone away,” the man at the side bootlicked.

The store owner waved his hands in midair, “if I had fully opened this stone at that time, Miss Su would have lost in the first round and naturally, I cannot let that stupid brat have her way. It’s just a pity I couldn’t get my hands on that piece of moonlight stone; otherwise I could earn another huge sum of money.”
