Chapter 3052 "Thank you for the heads up, Mister Wolf. I know 386 million dollars is overpriced but the Mystical Dragon Jade is too important for the shop. I must go all out to secure it," Shally sighed and looked helpless.
"I don't think that's the case. Can't you tell, Miss Summers? This whole thing could be just a scam. If you buy the jade, you're jumping into a trap," Leon said seriously.

All of these changes happened swiftly but Leon was observing them secretly and saw their reaction. The abnormal reaction confirmed Leon's suspicion.
"Mister Wolf, are you saying this is a scam? I don't get it," Shally asked immediately once she gathered herself. "It's easy. Think about it. Mister Negus was just here selling top-quality jadeite. Then Mister Norton cin immediately and raised the price to get you on the run. Surely, this can't be a coincidence. Besides, 386 million dollars is a large amount of money. At least not all rich kids can afford to take out the amount easily. Yet, he kept on raising the price without any bad feelings. Instead, he purposely tried to infuriate you to make you raise your bet. It's clear he's trying to schyou," Leon explained by giving valid reasons.
"I-" Immediately, Shally knew that Leon's assumption was spot on because his points made sense.
First, Marvin arrived shortly after Mister Negus cinto the shop. Everything was perfect as if both of them planned their arrival which made it too much of a coincidence.
Secondly, the maximum amount of money they could use from their family business was not more than 43 million dollars. However, Shally was different. Since her parent and brother passed away, she was forced to take care of the family business. Thus, she had the authority to use any amount of money available in the business.

Of course, this did not apply to Marvin. Although Marvin was the eldest son of the Nortons, he was not of in charge of his family business nor did he have the authority and power to use a large amount of money from the business.
Yet, Marvin dared to be on the run of buying the Mystical Dragon Jadeite without consulting or getting m approval from his father or grandfather. It just did not make sense that he did not flinch even a little after raising the price of the Mystical Dragon Jadeite to 386 million dollars. "Hey, what are you talking about? Are you saying we're trying to scam Shally? That's bullshit!" Marvin and Mister Negus were shocked and reprimanded Leon angrily after hearing what Leon had to say.
"You know very well that I'm telling the truth!" Leon talked back calmly and gave Marvin and Mister Negus a disdainful look.
