Chapter 713 Richie Quinn, Such a Wealthy Name!
The chubby man frowned at Lilly and asked, “Who are you, and what exactly do you want?”
Lilly countered. “Uncle, who are you and what’s your name?”
The man replied, “Huh? I’m Richie Quinn, the owner of The Lazy Pygmy…
Richie suddenly realized he had inexplicably found himself honestly explaining things to a little child, his mouth seemingly out of his control.
He quickly added, “No, wait, I should be the one asking who you are…”
How did it end up with him speaking first??
Lilly waved her hand, her small face wearing a mysterious expression. “Oh well, it doesn’t matter. Let’s not dwell on these minor details.”
Lilly immersed herself in the names of others: Richie Quinn, such a wealthy name! Suddenly, she felt that her name wasn’t as pleasant. She should be called Million… no, Billion!
Richie fell silent.
Edward, with his rough demeanor, said, “We all have the surname, Crawford. Do you remember selling a bracelet to us a few days ago?”
Richie became wary upon hearing that.
They were here for the bracelet!
“After completing the transaction, you come knocking on our door. Isn’t that against the rules?” Lilly quickly interjected, “We didn’t come for the bracelet…
Pausing for a moment, she added, “Um, Uncle Richie, are you feeling okay lately?”
Lilly just wanted to catch a ghost.
But the male customer who was just spoken to suddenly felt uncomfortable. He interrupted with an unpleasant expression, “Mr. Quinn. I don’t know if you’re feeling alright, but I’m not!”
Some people involved in gambling with raw stones detest signs of bad luck. It was evident that he had just selected a stone, and Lilly claimed he had made a big loss. That wasn’t a good omen
Staring at Lilly, the man was displeased as he questioned. Do you understand raw stones! This raw sinne is an Old Skin, with a green crust visible. There’s something inside! You know nothing and yet you speak recklessly, bringing had luck!
Lilly opened her mouth to respond
calling
Josh raclaimed, Holy crap! How dare yoni call my sie bad hack
Edward narrowed his eyes, crossed his arms, and coldly observed the man
Unexpectedly, the man continued to complain. It could be said that when it came in mas related to gambling, people came fearless
“That stone of yours indeed has nothing inside; I’m telling the truth,” Lilly said, pointing at the other stones on the stall. “It’s not just this stone; none of these stones have anything.”
“Look at this one with a green surface-it’s glued on!”
Adults might consider whether they would offend someone, but Lilly spoke plainly.
These stones were originally meant to deceive people.
As soon as the stall owner heard this, he exploded.
The Lazy Pygmy was Richie’s establishment, and Richie had one rule: no fakes or deceit allowed.
If the stones were directly transported from the jade mine, he wouldn’t interfere with buyers’ satisfaction.
But if someone intentionally deceived others, not only would they be expelled, but they would also have to compensate.
The Lazy Pygmy had become the “boss” in this line of business, attracting everyone precisely because of this. They weren’t afraid of encountering fraudsters here…
That’s why the stall owner detested Lilly and quickly said, “How can you speak like that? These stones were directly transported from the mine. The crusts are all natural. How can you say there’s nothing inside?”
In the world of stone gambling, after mining the jade, the remaining stones from the edges are transported and sold at low prices to jade enthusiasts. During the mining process, all visible jade is taken, leaving behind stones with some traces of jade material. Some stones may not show anything on the surface, but when cut open, they reveal a full jade interior.
This thrilling pursuit of striking it big attracts people to the world of stone gambling. And where there is stone gambling, there are strategies. The surface of the stones, referred to as “skin” by insiders, is used to speculate on the presence of genuine material inside.
For example, “Old Elephant Skin” is a stone with a surface that resembles elephant skin, with folds and a loose, grayish-white appearance. It is often believed to contain high-quality jade. Buying an “Old Elephant Skin” stone for a hundred thousand and discovering high-quality jade inside can lead to selling it for a million, resulting in overnight wealth.
However, stones with valuable contents inside are rare. They are usually picked out in the mining fields long before others have a chance to find them. So, the practice of creating fake skins emerged as a deceptive method.
The stall owner looked at Richie, feigning a smile, and said, “This child is talking nonsense. Everyone knows Mr. Quinn’s rules. I wouldn’t dare to come here if I were to engage in such deception”
In reality, he was trying to make a big profit precisely because fakes were not allowed here. If someone suspected him, he would simply say, “Who doesn’t know Mr. Quinn’s rules? Would I dare to deceive people?
Richie frowned and looked at the stones on the stall, his expression turning cold. He asked, “Where did you come from? Who approved your inspection?”
Richie temporarily forgot about Lilly because this perin haid violated hus rules. Someone wou engaging in such activities right under his nose!
it’s just
The stall owner harbored resemment deep inside and pointest at Lilly saving “M Quinn cut this
child speaking nonsense. If you don’t believe me, I can pick up any stone and cut it open right now! Even
if I don’t make any money and suffer a loss myself, I need to prove my innocence
He glanced at Lilly and immediately picked up a stone that had been prepared in advance
Lilly took a glance………….
She didn’t need to calculate, she already knew that this stone was genuine
She silently watched his performance
Several people gathered around, excitedly exclaiming when they saw the green color inside the stone “There’s jade! It’s there!”
“Oh my goodness, it’s high-quality jade with excellent clarity! This is a fortune!”
The stall owner felt a pang of regret
Indeed, this stone contained something inside, but he had already examined it using technical means and found only a small amount of desirable material Cutting further would reveal nothing. However, if he didn’t cut it open and sold it to someone who didn’t know much about gemstones… he could have easily fooled them into paying three to four hundred thousand
Now that it had been cut open, those who understood stones could tell that there was nothing more inside and it could only be sold for slightly over a hundred thousand, deceiving those who were not knowledgeable.
That’s why he disliked Lilly
You see, Mr. Quinn, I feel so wronged.”
The stall owner casually blocked the stones that were fakes and pointed to the other genuine stones saying, “In Mr. Quinn’s establishment, who would dare to deceive? I wouldn’t challenge Mr. Quinn’s rules Others chimed in. “That’s right! These stones here don’t appear to be faked. Take a look at these
The owner can effortlessly open any of them and find jade. My goodness, I need to take a good look The gamblers were filled with excitement.
The stall owner immediately accused Lilly, “Just a moment ago, this child was saying that it’s not just my stall, but that there’s no jade in any of the stones here. But the one I opened has jade! So you see this child is just talking nonsense”
Others echoed, “That’s right, what a bad omen!”
“Maybe this child has a gift for saying unlucky things Let’s just ignore her
Lilly, however, said, “How can you call it picking up a one casually
Josh, seeing Lilly’s confidence, also spoke firmly. “That right, who knows if you had is prepared in advance!”
Are you willing to let us pick any shoe casually and

business. If I let you cut open any stone you want, and I suffer a loss, can you compensate me?”
Before Richie could speak, he immediately drove them away, saying, “Go away! Where did these kids come from? Even your parents can’t control you!”
He glared at Edward.
Edward thought, “Oh? I’ve been restraining myself from hitting someone, and he dares to glare at me?”
