NovelEnglishThe Ex-Husband’s Revenge By Dragonsky Chapter 71
“I'll be frank with you, Mister Wolf. Your two imperial greens are pure and transparent, which makes them
incredibly valuable. Such items are a rarity on the market, so | can’t give you an estimate of the specific market
price. If you intend to sell it, we are willing to pay nine million for it!” Kai said in a heartbeat.
Top-quality jadeite such as imperial greens was very hard to cby, and if their store was able to obtain one,
they could turn it into the store's good luck charm!
The only fly in the ointment was the small size of that imperial green, and it was cut in half by Leon at the center.
If it was whole, it would have been more valuable!
“But...” Leon was stunned. He never dreamed that the jadeite which he assumed to be pea-greens were
extremely precious and rare imperial greens!
Before Leon could answer, a voice suddenly called out from behind, “I'll give you ten million!” An old man in his
70s entered the shop along with several well-dressed bodyguards.
The old man was full of vitality despite his old age and had an almost majestic aura when he walked. At a glance,
one could see that he spent all his life at the top of the food chain, as evidenced by the imposing grandeur that
he exuded.

“What?”
“Ten million?” Brody and Marilyn were both dumbfounded. They earlier deemed Leon a fool and ridiculed him to
their heart's content. It was a rather amusing twist of fate in the end because they were the ones who were the
true fools!
They wondered just what kind of luck Leon had to obtain those imperial greens- which were worth tens of
millions-with his last cut!
If Leon sold it, he would earn more than nine million without lifting a finger!
That Leon would be so lucky cas a big slap to them, and it was almost as if they could feel their faces
getting swollen!
Although the total assets of Sullivan Enterprises were as high as 50 million, most of
them were in real estate.
One could say that ten million was no small amount for Brody!
His expression becthe sourest it had ever been, and he felt beyond deflated. If he knew that the raw jade
stone contained an imperial green, he could have just bid several hundred more and it would finally belong to
him!
It was such a shthat he found out about it too late!
Even Marilyn's family was only a smallish-medium enterprise, with total assets valued at barely over ten million.
One could well imagine how she felt when the person whom she considered a loser would make more than nine
million in the blink. of an eye!
“I don’t suppose there's anyone here who would want to bid higher than me?“-The old man glanced across the
audience and his aura was so fierce that no one dared to look him in the eye.
Kai was overwhelmed with shock. He instantly recognized the old man and bowed respectfully, saying, “I didn’t
know that you'd grace our store with your visit, Elder Shear. We apologize for not making arrangements to
welcyou. Please excuse us...”
“Elder Shear?”
“The patriarch of the Shears? One of Springfield City’s four powerful families!”
The onlookers were startled to find out who he was!

The Shears were one of the oldest powerful families in Springfield City. In many aspects, their influence was
comparable to Youngs’, and both formed one of Springfield City’s four powerful families.
Compared to the other three, however, the Shears were the most low-key of them all, and Elder Shear-whose
first nwas Benedict-rarely appeared in public.
However, many of the people there were well-informed individuals from the upper class. Sof them have
seen Benedict before, and they immediately recognized
who that old man was!
The four families’ influence within Springfield City was deeply rooted in history, spanning business, politics, and
the military.
As the head of the Shears, Benedict was a highly respected man often viewed as a powerful figure that was
above all others. The whole of Springfield City was said to tremble with every step that he took!
After getting over their small fright that resulted from the confirmation that it was indeed Benedict Shear,
everyone turned to look at him with respect and awe.
Benedict walked to Leon and asked with a smile on his face, “My friend, | do quite like your imperial greens, and «
I'm willing to bid ten million for them. Will you be willing to sell them to me?”
