“That’s right. Only people like you would foolishly spend two billion on a red gemstone like that.”


    “I like to call them rich airheads.”


    The crowd pointed and murmured, gossiping among themselves. It seemed to them that Dustin was a


    prime example of a stubborn man who couldn’t ept defeat. It was clear that he had suffered a loss


    but was still trying to show off without merit.


    “Do you hear that? I’m not the only one who thinks you’re an idiot. Everyone else thinks the same.” Her


    lips curled up into a smirk.


    “Really?” Dustin smiled faintly. “It seems like no one has realized this is not an ordinary red gemstone.


    It’s an extremely rare Crimson Gem.”


    “What’s a Crimson Gem? I’ve never heard of it.” Ja pursed her lips in disdain.


    “That’s fine. Allow me to enlighten you today.” As he said that, he smashed the gemstone with his


    palm. Everyone present heard two cracking noises as two visible crack lines formed on the surface. In


    the blink of an eye, the cracks spread across the whole gemstone.


    His actions ignited a frenzy among the crowd.


    “That’s insane! That punk’s gone insane!”


    “Even if he incurred a loss, that was no reason to destroy the gemstone!”


    “Ms. Grant was right. He’s an idiot!”


    The crowd was filled with astonishment and regret as they voiced their disapproval and admonishment.


    They recognized that it was still a remarkable treasure, and it was such a waste for him to destroy it like


    that.


    Ja was initially taken aback, but soon, she couldn’t stop howling inughter. “Hey! Did you get water


    into your brain? You spent two billion to buy that, yet you smashed it? I’ve never seen anyone as stupid


    as you!” She continuedughing, but it wasn’t long before she went silent.


    That was because after the gemstone shattered, a crimson flower emerged from the shattered pieces.


    The flower, translucent and blood–colored, glistened with a mesmerizing radiance. It embodied the


    essence of nature in itself, looking perfectly wless.


    Upon closer inspection, it appeared as if a slow, graceful flow of red liquid was flowing within it.


    Illuminated under the lights, the crimson flower shone beautifully, resembling an artful. masterpiece that


    captivated those present, leaving them awestruck.


    “Could… C–could it be? Is that the legendary Flower of Crimson Gem?” After a momentary daze, the


    man in the long–sleeved shirt suddenly eximed out loud.


    The crowd erupted into a frenzy at his words.


    “Flower of Crimson Gem? That’s a Flower of Crimson Gem? I never thought I would be able to see


    such a treasure in my lifetime!”


    “It’s rumored that the Flower of Crimson Gem can not only prolong life but revive the dead. When taken


    by ordinary people, they would be reborn, and even achieve greater things!”


    “It’s a priceless treasure! It’s definitely a priceless treasure!”


    “Damn it, that punk spent a mere two billion for a Flower of Crimson Gem. Lucky bastard!”


    The crowd looked at the Flower of Crimson Gem with tremendous greed and envy, like a beggar who


    chanced upon gold. A few daring individuals had even started concocting a n secretly.


    “Flower of Crimson Gem? How is that possible?” Ja was dumbfounded as she looked on in disbelief.
