Beholding the sight of Bidegla and Jennie Laura, Cyril Hanni's countenance immediately darkened.
Last time, he suffered a loss of over twenty million when he purchased the raw stones, and his father scolded him harshly, nearly stripping him of his status.
Afterward, he sought someone to kill Bidegla, only to run into the muzzle of a gun and provoke the terrifying presence of Stuart Buzer.
Bidegla's discerning eye was truly remarkable. After his last purchase of raw stones, he had them appraised by professionals, and the answer they gave him was shocking. The expert claimed that less than ten percent of the jade raw stones here could produce genuine jade.
In other words, the raw stones Bidegla purchased last time were mostly jade. There are thousands of raw stones here, and about thirty percent of them contain jade. Bidegla's purchase of over one hundred million raw stones had suddenly diminished to this extent.
It's normal for raw stones not to contain jade, but if the majority of the raw stones here don't yield jade, then what's the point of doing business?
The buyers of raw stones are not fools, nor are they easily fooled.
"Brother, let's be lenient, don't go too far," Cyril Hanni said coldly as he approached Bidegla and Jennie Laura.
"Are you not doing business here anymore?" Bidegla remained unmoved by Cyril Hanni's words, asking in a somewhat strange manner.
"Business is to be done, but I won't do business with you," Cyril Hanni sneered, then shifted his gaze, casting a greedy look at Jennie Laura.
Of course, his gaze fell clearly on Bidegla's eyes, causing him to sneer inwardly. This person clearly had designs on Jennie Laura, but Bidegla would not allow it.
Standing in front of Jennie Laura, Bidegla intentionally raised his voice, saying, "Hanni, you're keeping the door open, yet you refuse to do business with me. What kind of logic is this?"
Bidegla's voice was very loud, and everyone here heard it.
"What's going on?" People who heard the voice immediately walked over to Bidegla and inquired.
"Hanni says he won't do business with us today and wants to kick us out," Bidegla said, causing them to reveal expressions of indignation.
"This is unreasonable. How can this happen?" The middle-aged man who had previously conversed with Bidegla was immediately furious.
"Keeping the door open but kicking out the customers, if we sue you, you will bear legal responsibility and definitely have to compensate us," the middle-aged man said, and immediately received the support of everyone.
After all, being kicked out for no reason was unacceptable to anyone.
"Hehe, you may have misunderstood. I just won't do business with him alone. This is our personal grudge and has nothing to do with you," Cyril Hanni said with a smile, unperturbed by the middle-aged man's words.
"That won't work either. Since we're all here, we are customers. If you kick us out, then we'll see you in court," the middle-aged man said, then suddenly pulled out a document from his pocket and placed it in front of Cyril Hanni, saying, "I am a lawyer, and I will personally testify in this case. Every word you say now will be used as evidence in court."
"You..." Seeing the lawyer's credentials, Cyril Hanni's face turned red and white, realizing that he had encountered a lawyer, feeling extremely unlucky.
"Then enjoy yourselves. I hope you all manage to cut some jade," Cyril Hanni said through gritted teeth, realizing it was futile to drive Bidegla away, and left with his group in frustration.
Of course, before he left, he gave a cold look to Bidegla, a look that seemed to want to crush Bidegla. However, he was immune to such a gaze and was only here today to pick out raw stones. After today, he may never return here again.

"Brother, I have already driven the person away. If you want to buy raw stones, hurry up and buy them. I'm afraid this guy might change his mind suddenly," the middle-aged man said to Bidegla.
"Thank you," Bidegla said to the middle-aged man.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he casually picked up a piece of jade from his side and said, "Uncle, consider this piece of raw stone as my gift to you."
"Gifted to me?" Upon hearing Bidegla's words, the middle-aged man was surprised, and then a look of joy appeared on his face.
This raw stone was priced at three hundred thousand, and Bidegla unexpectedly gave it to him. This means that the few words he just said were worth three hundred thousand.
Of course, if he knew that the raw stone he was holding contained a piece of jade worth almost one million, I believe his expression would have been even more exciting.
"Jennie , in the future, avoid contact with this Cyril Hanni. This man is full of bad intentions, and I'm afraid he might harm you," Bidegla said, finally bringing Jennie back to her senses.
"I know," Jennie said, bowing her head, but she did not continue speaking.
"What's wrong with you?" Seeing Jennie in a low mood, Bidegla hurriedly asked.
"I'm fine," Jennie shook her head and then walked towards the resting area.
Watching her walk away, although Bidegla was guessing what was on her mind, he couldn't figure out what was bothering the girl. He could only give up and continue to select his raw stones.
This time, they prepared a total of two billion in funds, all of which were used to purchase raw stones.
However, after Bidegla collected all the valuable jade, he found that the value of these jades did not reach one hundred and fifty million. The funds were still sufficient.
After this plunder, the gambling stone area of Zone A in the Hualian Jewellery Store was truly a ghostly place.
Ninety-nine percent of the remaining raw stones were all worthless, and even if they contained jade, it would be a loss to buy them, so Bidegla did not make a move.
After settling the account, Bidegla and Jennie left the Hualian Jewelry Store.
After the two of them left, Hanni turned to one of his henchmen and said, "Go and find out how many raw stones Bidegla bought."
"Okay," the henchman understood, and about five minutes later, he came running back.
"How many raw stones did they buy?"
"They bought about one hundred and fifty pieces of raw stones, worth nearly one hundred and fifty million," the henchman said with some fear.
"One hundred and fifty million!"
Upon hearing this, Cyril Hanni was not excited at all. Instead, he fiercely smashed his fist against the wall.
He knew that this time, Bidegla would definitely take away a large batch of jade, and his heart was bleeding.
After making a phone call, he was soon connected and said with a gloomy expression, "Dad, that Bidegla came again today and bought raw stones worth one hundred and fifty million from us. I want to switch some of the raw stones he bought."
"Are you crazy?" On the other end of the phone, Nell Hanni's angry voice was heard, almost causing Cyril Hanni's phone to fall to the ground.
"Can you think before you act? What is that small loss compared to the reputation of our jewelry store? The raw stones cannot be tampered with, they will all be delivered to the buyer. As for this Bidegla, I will send someone to deal with him later, so you don't have to worry about it anymore," Nell Hanni's voice came through, calming Cyril Hanni's heart a little.
"By the way, how did you handle the matter with Laura's family?" At this point, Nell Hanni's voice had become calm and inquired.
Upon hearing his father's words, a glint of fiery determination flashed in Cyril Hanni's eyes, clearly hinting at some lascivious intention. He responded, "I have been working hard, and with a little more time, I believe I can conquer her."
"Very well, continue your efforts. I have already been negotiating with their family. If we catch this big fish, it will be our chance to rise," Neil Hanni's voice suddenly turned heavy, and after a few instructions to Cyril, he hastily hung up the phone.
After the call ended, Cyril's expression became unusually grim.
"Bidegla, one day you will pay a heavy price!" Cyril's voice was venomous, causing his disciples to nearly wet themselves with fear.
Meanwhile, Bidegla and Jennie Laura, with Jennie's mind elsewhere, allowed Bidegla to take the wheel. Instead of heading home, he drove Jennie to the riverside.
"Jennie, would you like to take a walk?" Bidegla inquired.
"Let's go."
As they strolled along the riverside, Jennie remained silent, causing deep concern for Bidegla. He was unsure what was troubling her, but he was certain something was amiss.
Several times he almost asked, but in the end, he held his tongue.
"Bidegla, do you believe in fate?" Suddenly, Jennie spoke, her expression grave as she gazed at Bidegla.
Being stared at so intently made Bidegla uncomfortable, but seeing Jennie's serious expression, he couldn't bring himself to smile.
"Fate?" Bidegla muttered. Before gaining insight, he might have believed in fate, but now, how could he? "What is fate? Why should I believe in it?" Bidegla looked at Jennie and continued, "Fate is just something people use to deceive others. If you believe in it, it exists. If you don't, it doesn't. You can change fate by believing in it."
"And not only do I not believe in fate, I want to change it. I was born into an ordinary working-class family, but now, haven't I made a name for myself?"
"Jennie, I don't know what you're going through, but please listen to me. Never believe in that elusive thing, fate. It can be changed. Cherish what you have now, that's what truly matters."
After speaking these words, Bidegla was impressed with himself. He had never realized he had this kind of wisdom before.
Of course, Jennie Laura's eyes sparkled as she listened to Bidegla's words, and then, as if she had let go of a burden, a long-lost smile appeared on her face.
