Chapter 649: Chapter 649: Sweeping the Jade Stone_1 Chapter 649: Chapter 649: Sweeping the Jade Stone_1 Moreover, aside from Jade Stone, all sorts of rare items needed for Core Formation as well as dicinal materials also needed to be prepared.
After much deliberation, Greg decided to try his luck in the Eight countries in Southeast, setting his sights on Helghan, known for its Jasper and Jade stone.
Once the airline tickets were arranged, Greg took care of his pending affairs before boarding the plane to Helghan.
As soon as he disembarked from the plane, he saw a tall, fair-skinned woman with curly hair.
This beauty was holding a sign with his na on it, looking around expectantly, presumably the person Cole had arranged to pick him up, so he walked over.
“Hello, sir, my na is Yana, and I’m responsible for your trip. Please let know if you have any requests,” the woman said with a slight bow, speaking respectfully.
Greg surveyed the woman before him, noting her rosy, sensual lips, small and perky nose, and the allure in each smile and frown. She carried herself with a grace that was unmistakable.
Seeing that he was staring intently at her, Yana’s face flushed red.
She had heard that the guest arriving was a significant figure, known for his romantic exploits and the many won around him; it seed the rumors were true.
Although she was outwardly respectful towards Greg, Yana regarded him as a potential threat, staying wary of him in her mind.
“Let’s go.”
Greg rely glanced at Yana before entering the luxurious sedan that had been waiting outside the airport.
Before Greg’s arrival, the organization had already briefed Yana on his purpose for the trip, so without asking further questions, she directly took him to the largest stone market.
Greg looked out the window, observing the city in disrepair, with ard militants noticeably rampant on the streets, and brazen robberies happening in broad daylight—vastly different from back ho.
The situation in the Eight countries in Southeast was chaotic, with wars erupting frequently.
Helghan, in particular, was fragnted among warlords and had yet to be unified, with tens of millions of people living in misery.
Yana began to inform Greg about the situation of warlords dominating the local area, while he just nodded silently, not taking it to heart.
The car soon stopped in front of the largest stone market in the area. Greg walked in first, with Yana hustling behind him.
The stone market was bustling with voices as buyers haggled over various stalls, creating a chaotic atmosphere.
After a brief glance, Greg slowly closed his eyes and released his Divine Sense.
In his mind, all the stones shed their disguises, revealing which contained Jade; Greg saw it all clearly.
“This one, this one, and that one over there, I’ll take them all,” Greg said, pointing out several ignored stones.
“Mr. Xu, you…”
Yana’s eyes widened. Who buys stones like this? Without even asking or looking, he just bought them?
Though puzzled, Yana obediently went to pay for the stones Greg had chosen.
As Greg made his way, he purchased dozens of stones, and his actions did not go unnoticed by many onlookers.
The crowd discussed among themselves, thinking this fellow was an easy mark, ignorant enough to buy stones indiscriminately.
After paynt was settled, the market’s owner ca over to ask if he wanted help breaking open the stones.
“Open them all,” Greg said impatiently, waving his hand without the desire for unnecessary chatter.
The surrounding people all gathered around, waiting to see Greg’s folly.
But when the first stone was cracked open, everyone involuntarily widened their eyes in surprise.
“This… It actually contains Jade?”
“Is this guy’s luck too good or what?”
“Hmph, I bet it’s only this one. Just wait and see,” so muttered.
Among the crowd, there was envy, ridicule, and many who were eagerly anticipating what the other stones might hold.
The boss was also greatly surprised, but he continued to work downwards.
“Jade!”
“Mutton Fat Jade!”
“My God, there’s even Emperor Green!”
As the raw stones were opened one by one, the crowd at the scene couldn’t help but let out cries of astonishnt.
Even Yana couldn’t believe what she saw and looked at Greg Jensen, who wasn’t here for the first ti, right?
How could he gamble so accurately? And… not a single piece went to waste.
Beyond the shock, Yana started to worry. After all, the market was controlled by the largest warlord in the area, and the people behind him would never allow soone to leave with so much Jade Stone.
There were people who had made a fortune but t a tragic end just after leaving the market, such incidents were not uncommon.
“Mr. Jensen, we should leave quickly, or else I’m afraid there will be trouble,” Yana whispered to Greg Jensen.
But Greg just smiled faintly, not taking Yana’s words seriously, and continued to look for Jasper and Jade stone within the market.
As more and more Jade Stones were discovered, Yana’s initial excitent turned into fear.
Especially seeing Greg’s careless deanor, she was so anxious she nearly cried.
Sure enough, just as Greg was about to leave for the next market, a bald man approached them.
“Brother, I’m afraid you won’t be able to take away these Jade Stones today.”
With a wave of the bald man’s hand, more than a dozen ard n charged out and surrounded both Greg and Yana.
Seeing that a fight was imminent, everyone around them stepped back, knowing that accidental death here ant dying in vain.
“There’s nothing I’ve set my sight on that I’ve ever had to give up.”
Looking at the insignificant beings around him, Greg’s lips curled into a disdainful, cold smile.
“You don’t know how to appreciate…”
However, before the boss could finish speaking, Greg’s body suddenly vanished from the spot.
“Ah…”
“Ah… Ah…”
What followed was a series of blood-curdling screams; the more than a dozen ard n didn’t even get a chance to shoot, and they didn’t know what had happened before their lives were extinguished.
By the ti the boss ca to his senses, Greg had already arrived in front of him, eyeing him playfully.
“You… do you know whose territory this is? I’m warning you, you… Ah…”
Before the boss could finish speaking, Greg casually swiped his hand and the boss’s body was hit by a trendous force, sending him flying backwards.
Witnessing this scene, everyone present was dumbfounded, having never imagined this young man would so effortlessly take down over a dozen ard strong n.
Greg swept his gaze over the crowd; where his eyes landed, no one dared et his gaze.
“Let’s go.”
Having dealt with these n, there were no more Jade Stones left in the market, so Greg packed up the Jade Stones and prepared to leave.
“You… you actually killed all these people? Do you realize how much trouble you’ve caused? This is General Sam’s territory, they won’t let us off,” Yana said, nearly bursting into tears at this point, never having imagined that he would cause such a disaster.
“Hurry up, forget about the Jade Stones, if we don’t leave now, it’ll be too late.”
Seeing Greg unmoved, in desperation, Yana grabbed his arm to leave.
With a slight wave of his hand, Greg freed himself from Yana’s grip, turned around, and calmly began to collect the Jade Stones.
Yana’s hands and feet were ice-cold with nerves, her face deathly pale, wishing she could knock Greg unconscious and drag him away.
