Chapter 1498 Scammer (1/2)

After getting the stones, Xiao Liao became extremely happy.

Li Du said, ”How are you planning to manage them? I'm actually quite puzzled. If you sell these stones off, you might not even recoup what you spent, right?”

Xiao Liao said enthusiastically, ”I will cut them, of course. These all came from Damakan. If it's all green, I will definitely make a huge profit!”

Li Du said, ”Are you going to gamble on the stones again? Didn't you swear off it?”

Xiao Liao giggled and did not say more. He passed the stones to Master Dao and said, ”Mill all of them!”

Master Dao started work without another word. He started to mill from the second stone. He carefully polished off the surface of the stone.

They expected that the stone would be hiding a piece of jade within like the first stone Li Du had.

However, as one layer after another was shed off, the stone became smaller and smaller. There was no sign of green.

The crowd watching around them sighed regretfully, ”It's a goner!”

”Slice it open, buddy. There's no use to milling like this anymore.”

”It's just surface material. Perhaps you can make a gaming tile from it.”

Xiao Liao was stunned. He said, ”How can it be like this?”

Master Dao's face stiffened. He quickly brought out another piece of stone and started to mill carefully again. However, as carefully as he worked, there was only sand coming off. There was not even a sign of yellow, let alone green!

Seeing that, Master Dao could take it no more. He started to grind on the top of the stone. A big piece fell off.

With only a few rubs, the entire stone fell apart. There was no jade inside. There was nothing inside at all!

Xiao Liao looked beyond distraught. He looked at the remaining four stones and yelled, ”How can it be like this?!”

Master Dao did not speak and had a solemn look on his face. Three stones out of the four were left. He placed them on the machine and started to slice them open. Ka, Ka, Ka! The stones fell apart into a few small pieces.

There was no hint of jade in any of them!

Master Dao looked up and was stumped. ”Where's Brother Su?”

”He's outside, getting ready to leave,” a man who was watching said with a grin.

Some people looked to be familiar with them. They teased, ”You guys have bumped into an expert this time around!”

”What do you mean?” someone didn't understand.

”What do you think? Can't you tell? Doesn't this seem like a coincidence, when you consider what happened before? Doesn't it feel like they are acting? Master Dao, Lu Da You, the four of them are in cahoots!”

Master Dao glared at that person fiercely. With an icy look, he said, ”Shut up and get lost!”

Seeing that there was nothing in the stones, Li Du prepared to leave with the money in his bag. He had not gone far from the teahouse when Master Dao and Xiao Liao caught up with him. They blocked his path.

”What's going on?” Li Du asked.

Xiao Liao did not have the pitiful look from earlier anymore. He said fiercely, ”We've made a mistake today. We've been preying on our victims, but the supposed victim has turned around on us. Hooked us in and capsized our ship, I'd call it.”
