Why? Why did Dorian call for an evacuation scene?
Bho Jin and his few guards were puzzled, looking about the place, wondering if it was just for show or if there was something like a bomb around.
"Young master, I feel that the matter might not be as simple as it looks. The way Old Ghu and madam Ghu treated the Tian boy is too unusual. And have you already forgotten that they seem to be stalking him today?"
Why?
Just what sort of influence could he have to make them humble themselves before him?
Even a fire-breathing dragon like old madam Ghu looked so docile before him.
This was too strange.
Bho Jin thought the same too. "Well... we'll just have to stick around to find out, won't we?"
Dorian peeked at the creature, seeing that it was still focused on what it was doing.
Now, with almost everyone out of the room, it subconsciously moved towards a few guards very close to them.
And just as he expected, it began its attacks.
But of course, with ordinary eyes, no one could see what it was doing.
Dorian inwardly nodded.
The enemy didn't know that he knew about its presence.
So until he was ready, it would be foolish to show his animosity.
Dorian stared at Bho Jin deeply.
"I need the stones in my cart cut open. Have your men do it... Can you?"
Bho Jin wanted to question him but found his leg subconsciously nodding after meeting Dorian's gaze.
F***!
Since when did he grow so scary?
Wait!
He wouldn't have called for an evacuation just to cut stone and get away with it, would he?
In the end, was all this really just a show of power?
Bho Jin felt disjointed. But seeing Old madam's Ghus warning eyes, he dared not dilly dally any more.
"Well? What the hell are you guys waiting for? Cut the stones just as he said!"
The men looked at each other tactfully but still did as told.
"Zhulyn, go with them."
"Yes, Grandmaster."
With that, Zhulyn and a few of Bho Jin's men quickly headed towards the stone-cutting machines at another corner of the vast open hall.
"Alright. Everyone else, gather the crystals all around you and listen to my instructions..."
.
Feeling like children building legos on the floor, everyone began laying the crystals just as Butler Sheng and Dorian instructed.
Of course, for the Bho guards, they felt their hearts bleeding, seeing all the previous crystals used in this manner.
F***!
What if a crack forms on the crystals?
They just felt that these crystals were far too precious to be laid on the ground in this manner. Honestly, there better be a point to all this, or else the reports they would file to Old Bho and even the current Bho Head would be eye-boggling.
At the moment, the current patriarch was overseas doing business. And Old Bho inside was in another city in the country.
With prominent families, such travels were common.
It was just that such a thing like today's matter happened when the patriarch wasn't around.
Sure, there were elders and others who could step in.
However, the moment they heard Old Ghu and Old madam Ghu were invaded in the heart of the matter, they had no choice but to take precaution, calling both the patriarch and Old Bho wherever they were.
It can be said that the patriarch should've called Ghu Dwo, the current Ghu pariah, while Old Bho called Old Ghu instead.
One if didn't know any better, they would think that the Ghus were looking for trouble
Well, that better not be the case!
The Ghus line of business differed from theirs.
Thus, it made no sense for them to go against each other.
It would be a waste of resources, time, and energy.
.
Like so, countless thoughts passed through everyone's head.
But they dared not say anything.
And soon, the already cut stones were brought back.
And the men who escorted Zhulyn could only move forward in a daze.
Scary...
If you said that one person could have such luck to pick over 200 stones that all had jade in them, they would've thought such news to be impossible.
However, reality was more terrifying than what they imagined.
What?
Bho Jin stared at the incoming cart filled with rich jade with an overly widened mouth.
How? What? This? You!!!!
Old Ghu, Old madam Ghu and everyone else was also stunned beyond belief too.
With a trained eye, one of the stones he saw there could sell for 10~15 million!
So imagine a cart's worth?
Sure, some jade times he poems would only sell for 5,000 Vyns... But at least half of the contents in his heart would cost millions!
~Gulp.
Many swallowed hard.
What great luck!
[Zhulyn, lay the stones next to the crystals.]
Hmmm...
Zhulyn and those he came back quickly began doing this task.
And in the meantime, one of Old Ghu's guards received a few words via the headphone on his ears.
[Boss, the cameras switched off! Nothing from here on out is on surveillance.]
"Good. Keep an eye on them and make sure they don't try any funny business."
[Yes!]
Though the Grandmaster didn't say a thing, they thought it wise to do so.
They did what they would typically do during missions or in such situations.
.
Like so, the scene was bustling and busy.
Old Ghu was now on the phone with Old Gia and Old Hou.
How they got the news, only heaven knows.
But they had already asked about the situation, telling old Ghu and Old Madam to do their best to please Dorian.
At the same time, Ghu Sota called his grandmother, feeling betrayed.
[Grandma... So you and grandpa went out to have fun with the Grandmaster without me? How could you do this to me? And here I thought you loved me!]
(-_-)
… Is it too late to throw her favorite grandchild on a deserted island?
Tick-Tock. Tick-Tock.
Another 45 minutes had time by.
"Grandmaster, it's all done."
Dorian nodded at Butler Sheng and Zhulyn.
"Get ready."
It was time to reveal themselves to the enemy!
