Originally, Zhao Tong was meant to be made a fool of today, but plans could never keep up with changes. Although old man Ling did not take the lead in stopping the situation from escalating further, it allowed him to heavily suppress Zhao Tong once. Yet, right at the closing stage, a rash young man suddenly popped up, and he seemed to have some connection with the old man, which was why he remained so calm and composed.
"While I don't have a hundred million, I can owe it to you first. What if something good comes out of this stone? If the value of the good stuff exceeds a hundred million, just give me the excess."
At first glance, it felt like an empty-handed wolf-hunting trick—acquiring a stone worth a hundred million without spending a single penny. But only Zhao Tong knew that having someone step in to bail him out today was already a great outcome. Regardless of whether this person had genuine skills or not, as long as the matter could be resolved and the conflict diverted, it would count as a victory.
