Nalan Jie was feeling a bit smug. He wanted to strike while the iron was hot and not give Wu Tian a chance to back out.
The Gambling Stone Field had a high platform, which was used for announcing when and where good jade had been cut. This made it convenient for others to make purchases.
Nalan Jie immediately ascended the platform, picked up the microphone, and began with the customary greetings—welcoming everyone, wishing them a good time, and hoping they would all get rich.
Finally, he got to the main topic. "Ladies and gentlemen, we have a spectacular competition tonight! Master Zhen and Mr. Wu Tian will be competing in stone gambling."
A murmur of excitement went through the crowd. Those who had been inspecting stones elsewhere were instantly stirred by the announcement.
