Chapter 459 - 440

The scar-faced man and his group dropped to their knees with incredible speed.

In fact, it wasn’t just them; Sun Yaotong’s group was also a bit stunned.

Sun Yaoqin’s eyes were wide, her gaze fixed on Yun Jiao with an indescribable look of worship.

"Ahhh! Jiaojiao, you... how can you be so amazing?!"

Sun Yaoqin excitedly rushed to Yun Jiao’s side, dancing with joy.

Though Sun Yaotong was also thrilled, as an adult, he was more composed. But his eyes were incredibly bright as he gazed at Yun Jiao.

’What had he, Sun Yaotong, ever done to have such an incredible person as his goddaughter?’

’Yun Jiao’s future achievements will probably be even greater than he could have imagined.’

The group of bodyguards: "..."

’So, if the boss has someone this powerful by his side, what exactly are we here for?’

"Let’s go. We’re heading back."

Sun Yaotong didn’t want any more trouble. The area was already chaotic, and calling the police to arrest these men would be pointless. They would be locked up for a few days at most before being released.

Yun Jiao’s threat was far more effective.

So, they ignored the men kneeling on the ground and returned directly to the hotel.

Only after Yun Jiao and her group had left did the scar-faced man and his crew begin to gasp for air, helping each other to their feet.

"Holy hell, what kind of monster is that kid?"

They looked at the steel ball embedded in the iron pipe, and then at the ones on the ground.

Everyone swallowed hard.

The scar-faced man wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Good thing we didn’t just start fighting and killing from the get-go."

Although they were carrying guns, they had always been just robbers. They wouldn’t take a life unless under special circumstances.

Even with those who refused to hand over their goods, they would at most just give them a beating.

That was why they hadn’t started shouting about fighting and killing right away.

And thanks to that, they managed to save their own skins.

"From now on, if we see that group, we give them a wide berth."

In truth, even without their leader saying it, they would naturally steer clear for the sake of their own lives.

Back at the hotel, Sun Yaoqin still hadn’t recovered from her excitement. She clung to Yun Jiao, peppering her with questions.

"Jiaojiao, how on earth did you do that? Teach me, teach me! That way, I won’t be afraid of bad guys when I’m out alone anymore."

Yun Jiao looked at her, a helpless expression on her small face.

"I can’t teach you. I’m just really strong."

She demonstrated on the spot. Taking a steel ball, she squeezed it in her hand, and the solid ball was crushed flat.

It would be difficult to flatten such a small ball even if it weren’t solid.

This sight left Sun Yaoqin dumbfounded once again.

Sun Yaotong wasn’t faring much better.

"You... you... you... Is that strength natural?"

Yun Jiao thought for a moment. "Not exactly. I’ve always been much stronger than other people since I was little, and my strength just keeps growing as I get older."

Sun Yaoqin’s face was full of envy. "Gosh, why don’t I have that kind of natural superhuman strength?"

Forget Sun Yaoqin; Sun Yaotong was envious too.

’What man doesn’t wish he had superhuman strength from birth?’

"Alright, stop pestering Jiaojiao. Go get ready for dinner. If you really want to get stronger, I can find a martial arts master to teach you."

Sun Yaoqin nodded. "Okay, fine."

Sun Yaotong sighed with emotion. "We really have Jiaojiao to thank for today."

’Both with the Jadeite and with protecting it... when I think about it, it feels like I’m the one taking advantage of Yun Jiao.’

’I have to give her a big red envelope when we get back!’

Originally, because of the Moss Green Jadeite and the pink jadeite, Sun Yaotong had planned to leave today.

But now, feeling completely secure, attending tomorrow’s Jade Public Auction was no longer out of the question.

He decided to ask for Jiaojiao’s opinion.

After dinner, Sun Yaotong asked Yun Jiao what she thought.

There was a Jade Public Auction tomorrow, where you could buy desirable raw jadeite stones through bidding.

These raw stones had all been appraised and had a high probability of yielding jadeite.

Some were even raw stones that had already been partially cut open.

But by the same token, the auction prices would definitely be very high.

Yun Jiao said, "Let’s go. I want to check it out too."

’We’ve already come all this way, and we came for the Jade Public Auction in the first place. It would be a shame not to go.’

"Alright, then we’ll go tomorrow!"

The next day, Sun Yaotong took the two girls to attend the Jade Public Auction.

As soon as they arrived, people came up to ask him about what happened yesterday.

Sun Yaotong chatted with them for a bit before taking the two girls to see the jadeite that was up for auction.

"If you see any you like, just remember the lot number. Then you can bid on it at the auction."

"Jiaojiao, do you still have enough money? Do you want your godfather to lend you some?"

He knew Yun Jiao had bought an island, so her money was probably almost all spent.

And he was right.

Yun Jiao really didn’t have much money left on hand.

After buying the island, she hadn’t gone looking for shipwrecks to salvage. Just catching fish didn’t bring in much money at all.
