Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 503 God’s Chosen Girl Has Revealed Herself

At this point, the master made the second cut extremely cautiously. The entire process took about 10

minutes before the external layer of the rock was finally removed, revealing the treasure inside.

In those few short moments, the entire crowd was silent before suddenly erupting into a roar.

“That is the highest quality glassy species jadeite! Look at its color and its degree of transparency! This

is truly rare!”

“F*ck! I knew there’d be a surprise today, but I didn’t know there’d be such a great surprise! It’s an

opportunity of a lifetime to be able to see this quality of glassy species jadeite with my very own eyes!”

“Well, I told you all to read more. Tsk! To only be able to say these few words at this crucial moment…

Let me tell you all—this is imperial jade. To use fine gold as an analogy, it’s 999 gold. Truly a treasure!”

Gasp after gasp followed that comment, as if anyone who didn’t compliment the jadeite would look

uneducated.

In truth, such jadeite was indeed rare.

Even Ziggy couldn’t help brightening up and revealing his surprise, as if he hadn’t anticipated such

unexpected good news. “Do you still think I won’t win?” He looked arrogantly at Elise.

On the other hand, Elise pretended not to see that and only stood expressionlessly in her spot, staring at

her own stone without glancing away for even a moment.

The work of breaking open the stone was still in progress and together with the whispers of the crowd,

the roar of the engine and the tapping of the hand-polishing made the entire space buzz like a hive.

At this moment, almost everyone had their attention on Ziggy, since there was no denying he had found

imperial jade. As long as it occupied around half of the already massive rough stone, he would be able to

sell it for upwards of fifty million.

Right at this moment, on Elise’s side, the master who was breaking open the stone suddenly paused in

his actions. “What?!” he blurted.

“What’s the matter?” Deeply afraid that the master would definitively declare the stone as waste rock,

Tom watched on with his heart in his throat.

If that were the case, he would truly lose his confidence. After all, his opponent had four top-quality

goods to speak of.

“Calm down.” Elise patted his shoulder.

“This jadeite is somewhat strange.” The master smacked his lips, suddenly becoming alert and

determined. At the same time, he began to polish more vigorously, and his mouth gradually fell open as

his world-weary eyes flashed in astonishment.

Meanwhile, Tom had his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles were cracking out loud. His mouth was

also dry from nerves. On the other hand, Elise looked as calm as she always did, as if she was simply on

a grocery run at the supermarket.

“My god…” By now, the master had stopped moving and was staring at the stone he was holding in awe.

As some of the audience members noticed his reaction, they craned their necks to see what was

happening while asking loudly, “Hey, what’s going on? Keep going!”

With that, more people began to look over.

“Don’t tell me he actually found a green stone?”

“Even if he did, nothing of good quality could come from the stones in the outer hall.”

“You’re right. There is no green.” The master seemingly hadn’t recovered from his shock. As those who

were paying attention revved up to start another round of commentary, he beat them to the punch by

saying, “There’s red.”

“What?”

“It’s a rare blood jadeite!” The master finally calmed down enough to announce to the audience, his voice

determined, “Only one other piece has been found in the last 100 years, at the previous gem auction

event in Landred City. I’ve seen pictures of it. It’s of the same kind!”

The people around him stared with their mouths agape, expressions disbelieving. All of them were

astonished.

As if ‘blood jadeite’ was the signal to gather, the crowd instantly began to swarm the station where Elise’s

stones were being broken open, seemingly wanting to make up for not having seen the blood jadeite in

Landred City with their own eyes.

Under the pale light of the incandescent lamp, the corner of the red jade looked like a beating heart.

Despite the fact that it was obviously stationary, it gave onlookers the impression that it was moving,

alive and boasting of its vitality. Even its color was peculiarly and astonishingly a thrillingly red, making its

onlookers feel as if they were on the shores of sunset and witnessing the beauty of the sky.

It was top-quality glassy species jadeite, a blood jadeite, no less.

Just like that, the crowd fell as silent as the dead, their greedy eyes sweeping toward the rough stone on

the platform like a wave. In this moment of stillness, there were seemingly countless invisible hands

reaching out to pick up the treasure and gaze upon it like a jewel.

It wasn’t until they came back to their senses that they realized they were in a dream with the seeming

alive red jade playing the leading role.

Just like that, they became even more obsessed with that piece of blood jadeite.

Throughout jadeite’s long history, green was the only color that normally formed. Who knew what kind of

mysterious, soul-stirring story was behind the birth of other colors of jadeite?

Even then, Elise’s current piece was top quality among red jade. It could be considered one of a kind—

so rare that it was practically serendipitous for her to have come across it.

By now, the audience had arrived at the mentality that the seemingly alive piece of jade could be viewed

from a distance but not touched by hand. As if they were afraid that making noise would disrupt this

piece of jade, they remained dazed and motionless. Thus, Ziggy and the audience members closest to

him hadn’t noticed this amazing spectacle next to them.

It wasn’t until all of his stones were broken open that he looked upon the two fist-sized pieces of jadeite

on his platform and ground his teeth smugly.

He had five pieces of high-quality and top-quality jadeite, which was the sum of Elise’s rough stones.

How could she possibly beat him?

So, he let out a sigh of relief and turned to look at how things were going on her end.

His face changed the moment he did so and his previously amicable expression disappeared as a tight

frown and a hostile demeanor overtook him.

At this moment, Elise was in the middle of the crowd, with Tom standing next to her and holding a piece

of red jade twice the size of Ziggy’s imperial jade. It looked so red it could have been bleeding, and so

heavy that Tom’s face was comparably crimson, yet the man continued to hold onto it with a grin until

even the tips of his ears turned red in the end.

The thing was, Ziggy was intimately familiar with stone gambling and knew that the piece of blood jade in

Elise’s hands was worth more than all of his pieces of jadeite combined. If he wanted to beat her, he

would need a few more pieces of imperial jade, but the gem auction event had ended and all of his rough

stones had been opened. No longer would he have the chance.

Furiously, he ground his teeth.

“Green! The last piece has green as well! All of the stones are green!”

As the last of Elise’s rough stones were broken open, the crowd began to clamor.

“All green? You are God’s Chosen Girl! God’s Chosen Girl has shown her face! Wow!”

“F*ck! She must be the girl from previously! We’ve been tricked. She kept a low profile to confuse us!”

“The Carnegie Family has lost to God’s Chosen Girl two years in a row. What a bunch of losers. Ha!”

“Ignore them. She’s God’s Chosen Girl! You’re a goddess and my idol! We love you, God’s Chosen Girl!”

A myriad of emotions crossed Ziggy’s face and anger started to brew in his stomach. So furious that he

was nearly breathless, he glanced menacingly at Tina out of the corner of his eye.

“You b*tch! Did you purposely leave the blood jade in the outer hall to them?” he growled, pointing a

finger at her.

Finding him unreasonable, she snapped incredulously, “You’re suspecting me? If I wanted to mess with

you, I wouldn’t have waited until now to tamper with the stones.”
