"Big fool, we have to give him a good punishment!"

"I..."

The jade store owner almost burst into tears upon hearing Xia Xiaodie's suggestion.

"Don't play me like this!"

Just a moment ago, he was dealing with one person, and now this girl has joined in.

Given their relationship, how could this boy let me off easily?

So it seems the boy has already reached the Transformative Realm in martial arts. If he really wants to deal with me, I won't have any means to escape!

"Hmm, seems you guys really like your guns?"

At that moment, Xu Fan lazily asked.

The nervous guards, tightly gripping their guns, immediately dropped their weapons without hesitation!

They had hoped the guns would give them some sense of security, but now it was clear they were useless and only made the boy more likely to attack them!

"Good boys..."

With just a casual joke, the guards obediently dropped their weapons. This swift reaction made Xu Fan want to laugh.

"Boss Su, do you have any objections to three hundred million?"

With a smile on his face, Xu Fan urged the jade store owner.

The owner was so stressed he almost wanted to bang his head against the wall. Where was he supposed to get three hundred million?

"Brother, please, don't toy with me. I really can't come up with that kind of money..."

Looking pitiful, he began to plead with Xu Fan.

Xu Fan found it amusing. This guy wasn't so pitiful when he was extorting money from him earlier.

"It seems Boss Su doesn't want to spend money to save his life."

"Alright then, I'll just..."

"No! Absolutely not!"

Before Xu Fan could finish his sentence, he made a gesture to take action. The jade store owner was so scared he nearly wet his pants!

Compared to Xu Fan, he couldn't even handle his own guards. How could he withstand a blow from Xu Fan?

Xu Fan had no fear in taking someone's life. This kind of courage made the jade store owner feel extremely aggrieved.

How did I end up offending such a big shot...

"Big brother, I really can't come up with three hundred million. How about this: one hundred million, plus... plus my mine."

Unable to gather that kind of money, the jade store owner started negotiating with Xu Fan, feeling extremely aggrieved.

One hundred million plus his jade mine was almost all he had. Giving it up would be extremely painful.

He wanted to cry; he felt so aggrieved. He was the one extorting others, so how did it turn against him?

"Is that so..."

Upon hearing the jade store owner's offer, Xu Fan glanced at Xia Xiaodie for her opinion.

"Hey girl, do you think this guy's mine is worth two hundred million?"

Clearly, Xu Fan wasn't satisfied with the compromise.

Xia Xiaodie found it both laughable and irritating.

This guy has such high demands.

Just casually going out and extorting a mine and a hundred million, and he still isn't satisfied?

For someone else, they would've agreed immediately.

However, an ordinary person wouldn't get such a deal.

Those guards' guns alone could make a person full of holes.

"Hmm, big fool, let's reluctantly accept it."

"This guy is quite pitiful to have run into you."

Hearing Xia Xiaodie's words, the jade store owner nodded fervently in his heart.

Exactly, I'm so damn pitiful!

"Brother, for your girlfriend's sake, spare my life."

Though he was giving up his fortune, he managed to save his life. Following Xia Xiaodie's words, he pleaded.

"Fine, but I have some questions I need to ask you."

Xu Fan gave the jade store owner a calm look and made his condition clear.

"This..."

Not knowing what Xu Fan would ask, the owner hesitated for a long time before gathering the courage to speak.

"Ask whatever you want. As long as I know, I'll tell you."

"Don't worry, you'll definitely know what I ask."

Xu Fan smiled faintly.

What he wanted to know was the source of the jade stones the owner had used to scam him and Xia Xiaodie.

The stones were top-grade.

Though he extorted some money, he hadn't completed his mission to procure stones for XD Jewelry.

If this guy could obtain such fine jade for scamming, he must know their source.

"Where did you get the jade stones you used to scam us?"

Gazing at the owner, Xu Fan asked.

"Well..."

Upon hearing the question, the owner hesitated.

It seemed he was too scared to speak. Xu Fan smiled lightly and said, "What, don't want to say?"

"Of! Of course not!"

Fearful for his life, the owner dared not play tricks.

Hearing Xu Fan's question, he hurriedly explained.

"I'll talk, I'll talk."

"The jade stones I scammed you with were from the Cheng Family."

"All the good jade mines in Diannan are in their hands. Small mines like ours can't compare."

He had no choice but to engage in these shady deals.

The jade from his mines was of mediocre quality, not bringing much profit, so he turned to scams.

Scamming was always risky, and today he was busted.

"The Cheng Family?"

Hearing the explanation, Xu Fan raised an eyebrow.

So, the Cheng Family mentioned by the owner was the same one Gong Wei mentioned at the Blackberry Bar.

Just two days in Diannan, and he had heard this name multiple times. It seemed the Cheng Family's power in Diannan was significant.

"Xu Fan, do you know the Cheng Family?"

Seeing Xu Fan's reaction, Xia Xiaodie looked at him expectantly, hoping he was familiar with the Cheng Family.

If he was, it could ease their dealings.

"I do know them, but not in the way you think."

Xu Fan laughed as he explained.

He knew what Xia Xiaodie was hoping for, but it was pointless.

The price difference between raw and processed jade was huge. Why would the Cheng Family sell their jade cheaply to others?

They'd process it into jewelry.

There were other ways to get the Cheng Family's jade mines besides cooperation...
