Chapter 483 - Chapter 483 Gemstone Scam (2/2)

While they were talking, two young men surreptitiously passed by, each of them hiding a giant glass container in their arms.

Inside was a palm-sized Blood Gemstone.

“Stop!” Jin Lingsu directly intercepted the two men, “Whose subordinates are you? Where did this gemstone come from?”

The two were startled and hurriedly took out the gemstone.

“We just thought the gemstone was beautiful and wanted to take it back, that’s all.”

Jin Lingsu’s brows furrowed slightly, a gemstone of this quality would be worth at least five hundred million on the market.

She was about to speak when the security personnel outside hurried in, took control of the two men, and confiscated the gemstone.

Everything seemed fine, but Chen Yu always felt that something was amiss.

When he first saw the gemstone, he noticed a strange protective film on its surface, meaning the gemstone was likely fake.

Jin Lingsu, with her chin in her hand, walked over to Chen Yu, “Why do I feel like there is a problem here?”

Chen Yu directly extended the system’s coverage to scan the brain information of the two young men they just encountered.

However, to his surprise, the magnetic field was so strong that it interfered with the system’s analysis.

As he felt helpless, several bells suddenly rang nearby.

The crowd that had been chatting in the hall immediately stood up and moved to the adjoining room.

Chen Yu and Jin Lingsu followed them.

When they entered, they were immediately stunned by what they saw.

The place was embedded with all kinds of gemstones, each cut with extreme precision.

Gathering all the world’s gemstones together probably wouldn’t yield so many of uniformly equal size.

While everyone marveled, Fox suddenly appeared on the stage.

“Ladies and gentlemen, are you dazzled by our gemstones?”

After stoking the atmosphere a bit, he picked up a palm-sized gemstone from the table.

“This is a gemstone that we, the Knights of the Round Table, have just developed. As everyone suspects, it is counterfeit! But I guarantee that even the top jewelry experts wouldn’t be able to discern its authenticity.”

Chen Yu stood there, stunned; in that moment, he understood everything.

Perhaps this so-called banquet was not just a gathering but an attempt to unite all organizations, establish rules, and then divide the world’s riches.

The biggest scam in the world is the diamond scam, where a few Western families hold all of the world’s diamond mines in their hands and then create fake news to drive up diamond prices.

With such a simple trick, they have deceived humanity for a whole century.

Now, Fox wanted to upgrade this scam.

In today’s world, people are aware of the diamond scam, causing sales of diamonds to plummet.

However, the prices for colored gemstones remain strong.

These items are rare treasures produced by the earth’s crust over millions of years.

Just one appearance can command a starting price of several hundred million!

If today’s meeting is successful, Fox will mass-produce these colored gemstones and flood the market with them to harvest wealth.

Considering this, the corners of Chen Yu’s mouth turned up in a cold smile.

All members of the Knights of the Round Table were among the world’s top affluent families; they already possessed incomparable wealth, and yet they were here scheming to make money with no bottom line.

Fox was now incessantly expounding on the future commercial plans for gemstones from the stage.

Members of some organizations immediately signed contracts.
