Henry knew what Andrew was hoping for, and he equally hoped that the stone Daniel picked didn't contain Blood Jade. How could Daniel, this country boy, randomly choose a stone and end up with Blood Jade when Henry himself had made a mistake on his own selec his win for Daniel and loss for him would mean Henry had lost twice over, which was unacceptable to him. Therefore, in his mind, there was no way the jade could be Blood Jade.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter his quick internal debate, Henry speculated other possibilities and then had an "aha" moment.
"How could this stone possibly contain Blood Jade? This little window might look blood-red as if there were Blood Jade inside, but there are other explanations. It could be due to the lighting or the reflection of red light inside the stone. Or there could be impurities such as glass, which, even if red, are worthless." It was then that a smiling figure approached-Nicholas made his appearance.
"Hello, Jessica, Daniel!" Nicholas greeted warmly, but noticeably, he didn't greet Andrew. Having overheard Andrew calling Daniel a country bumpkin, Nicholas felt annoyed and decided to ignore him.
Nicholas was quite well-known, and of course, Andrew recognized him. He initially assumed that after greeting Jessica, Nicholas would also acknowledge him. However, Nicholas acted as if he hadn't seen Andrew at all, a snub that made Andrew feel publicly humiliated. To save face, Andrew took the initiative to greet him, "Nicholas, long tno see!" "Oh, there's Andrew! My apologies, I didn't see you just now," Nicholas replied with a beaming smile before turning his attention to the stone Daniel had chosen with the newly opened window.
"Did Daniel pick this stone?" "Yes," Daniel confirmed with a grin, seizing the opportunity to sell the stone. “Now that it has a window, if you're interested, Nicholas, I can offer it to you for three million. If all goes well, we might find a fist-sized Blood Jade inside it, which I estimate could be worth at least five million." Nicholas took the stone and examined it carefully. The glow through the small window did indeed seem to cfrom Blood Jade. However, the quality of this piece was quite ordinary, not of a top grade. Its rating was probably mid-to-high. While a large-size Blood Jade of this quality might indeed fetch five million, this one's size was still in question-if it turned out to be small, it may not even fetch half a million. Buying it for three million would be risky.
Still, Nicholas had great faith in Daniel, after all, he was his master! There is no way Nicholas wouldn't trust him completely.

million," Nicholas declared, making the purchase right then and there.

Andrew was stunned, unable to m believe Nicholas, known fochis shrewdness-always the one taking
advantage of others-had just been duped. This couldn't be right, Andrew decided he had to intervene. He couldn't let the country boy's plan succeed.
