"The biggest and purest diamond in history!"
These words became the headline of major news outlets, sparking immense curiosity among countless people about what the diamond actually looked like and how much it was worth!
But thanks to John’s excellent security and confidentiality arrangements, no information about the diamond had leaked out yet.
This undoubtedly piqued many people’s curiosity.
For some, money had become nothing more than a series of digits, and gems held a strong allure for such individuals.
Since they couldn’t see it on public platforms for the time being, the next best thing was to approach the mastermind behind the scenes and buy directly!
However, when some began to investigate who owned the plot of land, their arrogant bravado was immediately quashed.
All because one of the titles in Song Yun’s string of designations was: Chairman of the Mountains and Waters Corporation!
Now, who didn’t know that the Drew Diamond Group, which was on the brink of bankruptcy, was targeted by these individuals!
Some of them might not have been as powerful as Drew!
But some, like certain members of royalty, didn’t care much for external factors.
A few days later, Song Yun went to the airport to personally escort the diamond back to the Hua Capital Villa.
Count Jackson’s phone call came through, and after some business flattery, the conversation went on for quite a while before the other party revealed their true intentions.
The Eagle Queen, a woman with an immense fondness for gems, sought to purchase the diamond after learning that the gemstone on her scepter was no longer the finest in the world, having entrusted Count Jackson to gauge Song Yun’s interest.
Song Yun chuckled, pondering how to turn down the request gracefully, when the wooden crate carrying the diamond was opened by Ye Qingqing and her associates.
Suddenly, a naturally magnificent diamond was unveiled before everyone!
If the discussion with John had been somewhat shocking before, seeing it in reality was a completely different experience!
It was damn beautiful!
The diamond had not yet been cut, but its natural form was already irresistibly captivating!
Song Yun decisively rejected Count Jackson without hesitation.
The other party seemed to have anticipated this response, casually raised the offer a bit, and then suggested Song Yun give it some more thought.
No need!
Even if they offered tens of billions, Song Yun would never sell the diamond!
After all, truly precious things were priceless in today’s market!
Just when Song Yun thought that after rejecting Count Jackson, the other party would give up,
two days later, an extremely important document, personally delivered by an Eagle diplomat, was presented to him.
This was an official action. Song Yun glanced at Yue Ji beside him and, with a serious expression, opened the document.
The document inside was faxed over, and the text was handwritten by the Eagle Queen herself.
It conveyed a deep admiration for the diamond and expressed hope that Song Yun could name a price, but if he was unwilling to part with it, they would like to co-host an exhibition with him.
And the location for the exhibition was to be set right here.

The Eagle Museum would also dispatch fifty items for display during the event.
"Mr. Song Yun, we are already showing great sincerity. Regardless of the circumstances, our Great Eagle Museum has never sent out so many exhibits,"
the military officer said with the stern, serious face of an Eagle citizen, looking as though someone owed him money when he kept a straight face.
"Fifty items, huh... Do you have a list I can take a look at?"
Song Yun asked hesitantly.
"Of course, the back of the document contains the inventory of items needed for the exhibition."
The military officer gestured with his hand for Song Yun to continue reading.
Song Yun flipped through the document, which listed the names of fifty exhibits, but... those items bore distinctly Eastern characteristics.
One glance was enough to tell these were artifacts of Hua Country.
Song Yun silently handed the paper to Yue Ji.
After glancing at it, Yue Ji’s brow furrowed slightly.
"Fifty items are not enough!"
Song Yun stated resolutely, "If you want to see my diamond, then show some sincerity! At least a hundred items!"
"Mr. Song Yun, you must understand that I am just a messenger; your requests are beyond what I am authorized to agree to. Please allow me to step out and make a phone call to ask for instructions from my superiors."
The military officer stood up, bowed slightly, and then left the villa under everyone’s watchful eyes.
"This damn list is infuriating!"
Song Yun hammered the table and roared angrily, "Damn it! I have to ask for their permission to see my own country’s antiques!"
"Sigh, we don’t have control over these issues. However, if the other party agrees, you might consider it, since many of our own people haven’t seen these items and would have to travel far to view them."
Yue Ji sighed, "You need to calm down as well. These people are shrewd; if you reveal any emotion, they’ll read too much into it."
"I just can’t stand it!"
Song Yun’s chest heaved with emotion. He took several deep breaths to slowly settle his agitated heart.
By this time, the other party had returned from making the call. Sitting across from Song Yun, he reached out his hand with a smile and said, "Mr. Song Yun, my supervisor has approved your request. The hundred artifacts have already started to be packed and should arrive in Magic Capital the day after tomorrow."
"Hmm, since that’s the case, let’s start building up momentum now. Announce that a large exhibition will be held at the Magic Capital Exhibition Center the day after tomorrow."
Song Yun shook hands with the other party, his tone somewhat cold, "There are no restrictions on who can attend, right? After all, you can’t possibly keep the general public out. That would defeat the whole purpose of holding an exhibition."
"Certainly, you have that authority. However, we need to manage the crowds. To my knowledge, the Magic Capital Exhibition Center can accommodate thirty thousand people. We need to limit the visiting time for each guest upon entry." Find more to read at freewebnovel
Song Yun nodded slightly after hearing this.
Seeing that the matter had been dealt with, the military officer proposed leaving due to a busy schedule.
Yue Ji, on the other hand, stayed behind at the Hua Capital villa.
"We’ll need hundreds of security personnel to undertake this exhibition, why did you set it for the day after tomorrow?"
Yue Ji sighed, "I wanted to raise that issue when you brought it up, but I saw the look in your eyes and held back."
"Uncle Yue, I don’t want to wait any longer. This exhibition will last three days, and I want our people to look more, to understand better!"
Song Yun said with a sharp look in his eyes, "I’ll find people to take care of security. Don’t worry, it will definitely meet their standards!"
"Hmm, since you already have a plan, I won’t say too much. As long as you know what you’re doing."
Yue Ji stood up smiling, "Then it’s all on you. I’ll certainly be there for the ribbon-cutting ceremony."
"Uncle Yue, even if you don’t come, I’ll have to tie you up and bring you!"
