The Billion-Value Lands Are Just For Farming

C597 – Is Your Family a Jewelry Wholesaler?

“Hahaha! You must still be half asleep, huh?”

“Where do you get the guts to talk like that?”

“Kid, how many drinks did it take to get you this sloshed?”

The group of wealthy heirs around us couldn’t contain their laughter; they didn’t believe him for a second.

William was brimming with confidence.

I refuse to believe that some random kid I run into is wealthier than me.

If that were true, I’d be off buying lottery tickets!

Just look at how the kid’s dressed; does he look like someone who’s loaded?

He doesn’t hold a candle to me!

He’s probably just trying to act like he’s rich to scare me off.

Do they think I was born yesterday? Am I that gullible?

Not a chance!

“Kid, here’s a piece of advice for you: if you’ve got the chops, keep on pretending. If not, it’s going to hurt when reality hits you in the face.”

“If you’re really all that, prove it. Show me you’re richer than me, and if you do, I’ll walk away right now. Deal?”

William stood with his hands on his hips, smug as ever.

Su Ming just smiled. “Are you certain?”

​”Absolutely, my word is my bond,” William declared with unwavering confidence.

“Alright then.”

Su Ming nodded and reached into his pocket, pulling out a sizable pink diamond.

​”Hahaha! And here I thought you’d pull out something impressive. You’ve got some nerve showing off this piece of junk!”

“Boy, did someone swindle you into thinking this was valuable?”

“This trash? I could have piles of it if I wanted!”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The onlookers burst into laughter, convinced that Su Ming’s diamond was a fake.

You can’t really blame them for their skepticism.

​After all, a genuine diamond of this caliber is worth a fortune.

Anyone would guard it with their life.

Who would be bold enough to flaunt it so openly?

“Take a good look before you run your mouth.”

With that, Su Ming casually tossed the diamond their way. William caught it, momentarily taken aback.

“Tsk! Kid, it’s going to sting when you have to eat your words because you can’t back up your bravado.”

“My advice? Do yourself a favor and don’t bite off more than you can chew.”

“I’ve seen my fair share of diamonds. If this one’s a fake, you’re going to look pretty foolish.”

William’s smile was tinged with self-assuredness.

“Let’s just wait and see.”

Su Ming wasn’t interested in idle chatter; instead, he and Xiao Ke’er enjoyed a sumptuous meal together, paying no mind to William.

​William’s brow furrowed, irritation bubbling within. This kid thinks he’s clever, but just wait—I’ll reveal his charade for all to see soon enough!

​With that thought, William scrutinized the pink diamond. He wished he hadn’t—upon closer inspection, his confidence wavered. Damn, could this actually be real?

“Haha! Kid, you could have tried any number of tricks, but you chose the most foolish one,” he mocked.

“You might fool others, but you can’t fool Young Master William!”

“Just you wait, kid!”

The other heirs laughed uproariously, eager to witness Su Ming’s downfall. Yet, as time ticked by, William remained silent, much to their confusion.

​”What’s the matter, Mr. William? Is it so fake that you’re at a loss for words?”

“Look at how fake your item is, Mr. William is too shocked to even speak.”

“Mr. William, don’t spare his feelings—call his bluff!”

The onlookers kept up their taunts, but William’s face betrayed his discomfort, his features twisting in embarrassment.

​”Uh… This… It appears to be genuine.”

His admission sent shock waves through the crowd.

What? It’s real?

That’s impossible, how could it be?!

“Mr. William, even if it is real, what of it? This piece might fetch one or two hundred million at most. You’re worth over a billion dollars!”

“Exactly! This kid’s efforts pale in comparison to yours!”

“Is a single diamond really that special? Our young master wouldn’t treasure such a trifle, let alone carry it around.”

The crowd quickly redirected their scorn.

Just one diamond? What’s so impressive about that? If you’re so capable, why not show us a few more?

​”Oh,” Su Ming responded simply, nodding. “If you insist.”

With a swift motion, Su Ming extended his hand—one, two, three, four…

Before long, a veritable mountain of diamonds materialized beside him, glittering brilliantly in the sunlight.

The assembly of privileged young men was left utterly speechless, their faces a picture of bewildered astonishment.

Is your family in the diamond business?

Where did you manage to find all these?

You must have dozens there. Your pockets must be quite deep.

Gulp!

The group couldn’t help but swallow hard, their faces turning sour.

Just moments ago, they had said that if you proved you were wealthier than us, we’d leave right away. And now, here we are, eating our words.

It’s an uncomfortable feeling…

Almost enough to make you want to cry.

“Alright, I’ve proven my point. Can you leave now?”

Su Ming said with a slight smile, methodically returning each diamond to his pocket.

William’s face turned sour in an instant.

Chen, the young master, also had a rigid expression.

Damn it, we’re all rich heirs. How could we just take orders from you and leave?

If we really left, where would we put our faces?

“Hmph! We’re not leaving. We’re bullying you because we outnumber you. What are you going to do about it?”

Chen, the young master, resorted to being obstinate.

“Are you sure about that?”

Su Ming asked, his smile tinged with irony.

“Absolutely sure!”

These guys wouldn’t dream of giving up before winning over Xiao Ke’er.

“Well then, I guess you’re the tough ones. I concede, is that what you want to hear? Come on, sit down and let’s eat together.”

Su Ming exhaled a sigh, his face a picture of resignation. At his words, the young masters swelled with pride, thinking how easily they’d made this kid back down, showing him who’s boss.

The group sat down with chests puffed out and heads held high.

Su Ming chuckled to himself, discreetly taking out a puppet pill, crushing it, and silently seasoning the meat skewers with it.

“Come on, give my cooking a try.”

He handed out skewers to each of them. The scent was enticing, and despite themselves, they were hungry. The flavor was surprisingly good!

Might as well give it a taste!

So, with a mix of smugness and anticipation, they started eating.

“Mmm, these skewers are actually quite good.”

“I’ll let it slide this time, just because these are so tasty.”

“Delicious, I’m actually getting hungry.”

The group chattered away, full of opinions.

Su Ming watched them with amusement, taking a careful look at the group.

Apart from William and Chen, the young master, there were seven other heirs of wealth.

Gathered around, they enjoyed their barbecued skewers.

“Ding! The puppet pill is now active!”

Su Ming heard the alert in his mind and allowed himself a slight smile.

He glanced over at Xiao Ke’er.

Truth be told, Xiao Ke’er was somewhat puzzled. She couldn’t figure out why Su Ming had abruptly decided they should sit down for a meal.
