Chapter 1543: Get rid of

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The King of Hpakant was seriously beaten up. He had a black eye, a nosebleed, and a wound on his head.

Tun Qin was even worse. His smart white suit had turned pale yellow, stained with mud and footprints, as if he had rolled in the dirt.

Their bodyguards’ situation was not good either. Some were on the ground, groaning, and could not stand up. The beating that Brother Wolf and the others gave them was indeed hard.

The security guards came up to separate the two sides. The security guards’ leader pointed at Li Du and said, “Who caused the trouble? Get out of the mine zone!”

Zhong Dapao roared, “We spent 200 million RMB in your field to buy raw materials, we bought a pile of good material, and we were tricked by someone after keeping the materials here. Now our stones are gone, and you want to drive us out? Haha, is that how the boss treats his customers?”

Li Du’s side was the victim in this matter. The onlookers knew that the King of Hpakant was behind this. Human nature was sympathetic to the weak, plus the King’s usual high-profile behavior angered many people, especially his act of bullying some Chinese vendors.

Therefore, the Chinese vendors in the crowd couldn’t resist speaking out:

“Captain Ma, you are also Chinese. These foreigners bully us and you not only ignore this but are also now helping them?”

“Are the Chinese easy prey? Aren’t you going too far? What, does boss Kannada have a hand in this?”

“What about Master Pao and Master Liu’s money? Damn, although Master Pao and Master Liu have a bad temper, everyone knows where the money they earn goes. So where is the aid to the Chinese village going to come from?”

“The Suo clan is not a good family. You’re wrong to work with them, sir!”

“Don’t say all this nonsense, let them take out the stones!”

Listening to these words, the security guard leader frowned and asked, “King, what is the matter?”

The King of Hpakant wiped his nose, gnashed his teeth and said, “Damn, I was cheated! Are you an idiot, can’t you see it? Zhong Dapao and his people joined up to trick me!”

The security guard leader’s facial expression changed when he was called an idiot for no reason. He said coldly, “They tricked you? How did they trick you?”

The King of Hpakant shut his mouth in an instant. He was breathing hard and could not say a word.

Zhong Dapao pointed at him and said, “Suo, we had a good cooperation. We choose the stone, you provide the capital, and finally, we share the money we made, but what now? What’s going on now?”

“Have you made any money?” roared the King of Hpakant.

Li Du shouted, “You took all the high-quality materials we picked out and swapped them, and then you accuse us of not finding good stones?”

Someone said darkly, “All you know is that he took the good materials. What about black material? Has the black material been taken? Has it been swapped?”

Hearing this, Li Du, Zhong Dapao and the others immediately froze.

Liu Zi gasped and said, “F**k, the dark material has not been marked!”

The King saw that the situation was getting worse, and hurriedly shouted, “Shut up, I am the victim, I didn’t touch the stones inside!”

“Master Suo, if you did not touch it, does it mean that your men who were guarding the warehouse did?” A voice rose from the crowd.

“Yeah, how much does it pay to work your ass off as a bodyguard for a month? Take a good stone out of it and make more money than they’ll ever make until they retire!”

“Don’t excuse him. Would his bodyguards do this without his permission?”

The King of Hpakant howled in despair, “It has nothing to do with me! I’m the victim! I didn’t touch the stones…”

Anger and loss of blood made his feet suddenly weak and he fell to the ground.

Tu Qin and his bodyguards immediately surrounded him. “What happened to Master?”

“Go and call someone!”

“Get the master on the bus and take him to the hospital!”

Zhong Dapao roared, “Don’t think of going away like this. What about our loss? What about the missing stones?”

Tu Qin maliciously looked at them and said, “The bright material in the warehouse belongs to you, and our cooperation is over! Sir, our partnership is over. Let’s have a good talk later.”

The bodyguards carried the unconscious King of Hpakant and left. Tu Qin looked back before leaving. His facial expression was grim and could give anyone a chill.

Zhong Dapao looked at Li Du and asked helplessly, “What can we do now?”

Li Du said sadly, “What else can we do? The best pieces of raw material have been taken away. That’s all that’s left. Cut it.”

Someone sighed, “We’ve lost billions. Would these stones cost billions after the grinding?”

The grinding master stood behind the grindstone again, and his disciple lifted a piece of bright material onto it. The master said, “Cut this stone. There is mist on the wax skin and pine flowers on the shell. Looking at the white mist, this might be raw material from Nam Kay. Nam Kay has good ore. Do you want to cut it?”

Da Mao nodded. “Yes, if there is skin the material is old. Leave it if the stone does not show green. If it does, it might be an old wax seed.”

Zhong Dapao also nodded. “Cut it, no need to grind, open it directly and leave it to luck whether it is good or bad.”

The crowd cheered, “You are great, Master Pao!”

The master spat into his hands. The grindstone cut into the stone. Zhong Dapao and Liu Zi quickly went near and looked.

As the stone was cut open, one of the disciples poured some water on it to wash away the powder. Then he cried, “Hey, it’s a rise, it’s a rise!”

Li Du, Zhong Dapao and the others waved in happiness. It was finally a rise after cutting more than a dozen stones. Although it was not a good water source kind, at least they were finally earning some money, which enlightened their depressed emotions.

“Nam Kay does make good stones.”

“Damn, that fella King Hpakant has bad luck. We start seeing some green when they gave up.”

“It’s easy for good raw materials to show green. The ones cut in the beginning were black materials. It is quite normal for maybe one piece in two hundred to produce jade.”

“The King had done many bad things. The god of wealth does not care for him!”

Li Du and the others apparently did not incur the god of wealth’s favor either. The jade cut out from the stone was not of a very good water source and could not be sold at a high price.

They cut a few more pieces, and they were all a loss.

Zhong Dapao said helplessly, “Damn it!”

Da Mao comforted him and said, “Betting on stone is like this, nine out of ten will be a loss. It’s very common. We still have plenty of stones, continue to cut and we’ll see.”

When they continued cutting, they finally saw green in one of the stones. The last stone was of a waxy kind, and this time it showed a glass species that looked good.

The onlookers were happy for them. “Oh, these ice species stones are big enough to sell for a good price.”

“Thirty million, I would pay as much for this!”

Zhong Dapao hugged the stone in his arms happily and said, “Not selling it, not selling it, continue to cut, master! Continue cutting, I’ll give you a red packet!”

The grinding master smiled and said, “Please don’t give me the red envelope. Master Pao can give me some cigarettes. Today you are unlucky enough to have been cheated. You deserve to make some profits now.”

Li Du waved his hand and said, “Come, on, keep cutting. Cut this piece, and if it’s good, we must give you a red packet!”
