"Da~" With a crisp sound, the diamond was placed under the microscope. The jewelry store manager squinted one eye and leaned over to examine it carefully.
Li Long's heart was pounding when he saw this scene, "That's glass! It's fake! This woman is a lunatic, call the police quickly!!" He shouted frantically in his heart.
A few minutes later, the store manager carefully placed the diamond ring Anna gave him on a plate and handed it to them with both hands.
"Gentlemen, can you tell me where you bought this one-carat diamond? The quality is really good, but the cutting process is so weird, it's simply a waste of talent."
Li Long's pupils began to tremble uncontrollably, "What did you say! This is actually true!?" His voice was even a little broken due to his excitement.
He knew where this thing came from. He also saw the big diamond ring on the woman's hand last night.
I didn't take it seriously at the time because the diamond ring was so big that any normal person would not have thought it was real.
If this diamond is real, then the black diamond in the middle of the ring that is smaller than an egg is also real?! Li Long's head began to buzz.
He knew that the woman next to him was not just a lunatic. No lunatic would carry such valuable things.
"Huh? You didn't buy this ring at that time?"
Seeing a hint of doubt on the manager's face, Anna quickly said, "I bought this from its place of origin in Africa. Are you going to buy it or not? If not, I'll go look somewhere else." After saying that, Anna pulled Li Long and was about to walk out.
"Of course I will, but Ma'am, you have to understand that diamonds have a high depreciation rate, plus I have to pay for re-cutting them after I get them back."
"Just tell me how much money you want. I have an urgent matter at home." Anna immediately pretended to be impatient.
"Okay, since you are so straightforward, I won't say more. I will give you the highest price, 180,000. What do you think?" The store manager began to quote.
"Deal, I just want cash, hurry up."
The store manager was a little embarrassed by Anna's request to only accept cash, as most people usually pay by bank transfer. But he still started to raise money immediately. Diamonds of this quality were rare, and charging 18 would definitely be profitable.
He took this opportunity to have the diamond appraised several more times to prevent any mistakes.
"Manager, please be careful. I feel these two people are very strange, especially the woman. The way she looks at people is very creepy." The security guard standing guard at the door whispered to him.
The store manager didn't seem too worried about this. "Don't worry, this diamond was definitely not stolen or robbed. There is no such cutting method in the jewelry industry in the country. They have nowhere to steal it. It is very likely imported."
The cash was quickly raised. Anna took a gift bag, put the eighteen stacks of red bills in it, and then took Li Long away.
After returning home, Li Long was still shocked for a long time. He felt that what happened today was like a dream. The diamond in the hand of this crazy woman was actually real. Then who is she
"Dah!" When five stacks of banknotes were thrown onto the table, he immediately reacted with his eyes shining, "Is this for me?"
Anna looked Li Long up and down again and said, "Are you so happy with just this little money? You are so easily satisfied."
Li Long held the fifty thousand yuan in his hand and placed it on his face, greedily smelling the scent of the banknotes.
"Work for me in the future, and you can have as many of these as you want."
Li Long raised his head from the banknotes and said excitedly, "Yes! You will be my boss from now on! I will do whatever you tell me to do!!"
When Li Long saw how generous she was, his mentality began to change. "This isn't some crazy woman, this is my benefactor!!"
As for the other party's use of a skewer to poke him last night, and his completely mysterious origin, he had already forgotten about it and no longer cared about it. As long as the money was in place, it was not a problem!!
In today's society, everything is about money. Others work hard and are bullied by their bosses, only making 3,000 yuan a month, but I can make 50,000 yuan just by walking this morning! It's so easy to make money, let alone being stabbed, I can even let him eat shit!
Seeing the other party being so humble, Anna sneered in her heart. Sometimes, the difference between people is greater than that between people and dogs. Even without her special abilities, she can still enslave humans.
Although this guy is useless, coming here when I have no power at all can at least guarantee that he will not retaliate, and his legal identity can help me a lot.
"Get up and clean up this damn place. Even the dung beetle's home is cleaner than yours."
"Yes, yes, yes! I'll clean it up right away!" Li Long ignored the injuries on his body that had already begun to bleed, and happily walked towards the broom in the corner while holding the 50,000 yuan.
One diamond was sold for 180,000, which was a huge sum of money in Li Long's eyes, but it was far from enough for Anna's plan. In the following days, they sold more than a dozen diamonds in batches in surrounding cities.
As Anna's savings reached 2 million, the circle of small diamonds surrounding the big black diamond on the wedding ring Charles gave her had a small empty circle.
With so much money suddenly in hand, Anna first got herself a legal identity, during which Li Long came in handy. Although he was useless, something he said before was right: in this city, he was very familiar with all kinds of people.
After all, thieves also have their own circle of friends. Qin Hui has three friends, let alone him.
Half a month later, they had already moved to a new residence. At night, in a high-end apartment, Anna, wearing slippers, sat in front of the computer, constantly clicking the mouse, searching for what she wanted on the Internet.
"There are currently no traces of relics online, nor any traces of the Foundation, but this is not safe. I cannot let my guard down. If they really exist, they are likely to be hidden."
"This is a very possible conjecture. If there is a foundation in Earthsea, there must be one on the surface as well. I must be vigilant."
"If they really exist, then sooner or later they will threaten me. I must accumulate enough strength before they notice me."
"First of all, the next step is to find out whether the influence of the Earthsea gods is really completely blocked. If it is really blocked, then I am afraid I will have to find other ways."
"Fortunately, this is not hopeless. Although Charles has taken away my power, he cannot take away my memory. My memory records all kinds of forbidden methods in the Earthsea. I can try them slowly."
Just as Anna was engrossed in watching, the security lock outside the door opened, and Li Long, dressed in a respectable manner, walked in with a smirk on his face, holding a paper box.
"Boss, your package has arrived. I just happened to pick it up for you on my way. Did you buy it from Taobao?"
