Apocalyptic Disaster: I Hoard Billions in Supplies and Kill the Saint

10: Chapter 10 Received 58 million”Miss, your raw jade stone... the final valuation is—58 million!”

The shop assistants nearby gasped, and even the veteran jade stone gamblers in the store were stunned by this exorbitant price.

58 million!

What kind of concept is that?!

For an ordinary jade stone gambler, earning hundreds of thousands or a few million in the market would already make them a big winner, yet Ye Nanxing had raked in over 50 million in just a few short hours?!

This was no longer something that could be described by the term ”jade stone genius”; it was as if the God of jade stone had descended to the mortal realm!

Ye Nanxing’s expression remained unchanged. She pondered for a moment, silently calculating the figures in her mind.

Although the store manager hadn’t offered a very high price, it wasn’t far off from the space’s estimate. All in all, the boss was honest enough, and further cooperation was possible.

She finally nodded and said, ”Deal.”

The 58 million transaction was completed quickly. Once the bank transfer was confirmed, Ye Nanxing’s account balance skyrocketed!

The store manager handed back the bank card, smiling broadly. ”Miss, it was a pleasure doing business with you.”

Ye Nanxing took the card and replied with a polite smile, ”Likewise.”

The store manager tapped the counter lightly and suddenly lowered his voice, ”Miss, I’m afraid no one in the entire South City can match your eye for jade stone.”

”If you have any new raw jade stones in the future, could you... consider our shop first?”

As soon as those words were spoken, the shop assistants were all stunned!

Who was their manager? He was a notoriously shrewd businessman in the jade stone circle who never easily formed alliances, let alone actively curried favor with anyone!

Yet now, he was actually taking the initiative to recruit a young girl?!

Ye Nanxing raised an eyebrow, a faint arc tugging at the corner of her lips. ”If the price is right, cooperation is naturally not a problem.”

The store manager laughed heartily. ”You’re straightforward, Miss. If you need anything in the future, just say the word. I’d like to be friends with you!”

His gaze paused slightly, and he lowered his voice to add, ”Of course... the jade stone business has many jealous people. I’m afraid your talent has already attracted the attention of some unsavory characters.”

Ye Nanxing understood his implication. Her eyes flickered slightly, but her expression remained calm. ”Thank you for the warning.”

She knew that her actions today were indeed too high-profile; she was likely being targeted by more than just one person. However, she, Ye Nanxing, was never one to fear trouble.

She put away the bank card, turned, and left the jade shop, her pace remaining calm and composed.

As soon as she stepped out of the jade shop, the cool night breeze hit her face, carrying a hint of moisture that sent a slight shiver through her.

She subconsciously adjusted her pace, her gaze sweeping calmly across her surroundings—

The streets of the jade stone market remained bustling, with the cries of vendors and the excited shouts of gamblers rising and falling, but amidst the throng, she keenly sensed something amiss.

Behind her, a faint, lingering sense of being watched crept up on her.

Two dark figures followed at an unhurried pace, their movements stealthy and their gazes cold.

Ye Nanxing’s lips curled slightly, a cold glint appearing in her eyes.

She deliberately slowed her pace and turned into a side alley. Using the reflection from a shop window under the dim streetlights, she quickly observed the two people behind her.

One was burly with thick calluses on his hands, likely someone who had practiced martial arts for a long time.

The other was a tall, thin man wearing a baseball cap, his eyes darting around—clearly a seasoned follower.

These two were no ordinary robbers; they were well-trained individuals!

Ye Nanxing sneered inwardly. It seemed her earnings today had made certain people restless.

”Want to make a move? Then let’s see who strikes first!”

Ye Nanxing pretended not to notice and continued walking forward, her pace unhurried as if she hadn’t sensed anything wrong, moving slowly through the crowd.

Under the cover of night, the jade stone market remained vibrant, with the calls of vendors echoing through the air, which was thick with the earthy scent of raw jade stones.

Yet her attention remained fixed on the two lingering shadows behind her.

One was burly with steady footsteps and thick calluses on his hands—clearly a martial artist.

The other was tall and thin, moving stealthily and occasionally looking down at his phone, seemingly reporting their movements in real-time.

One to do the dirty work, one to handle communications—their skilled coordination proved they were no ordinary thugs!

Ye Nanxing sneered inwardly. Since someone was targeting her, she would see who had the guts to make a move!

She walked to the street corner, her gaze sweeping calmly over the surroundings as she cast an ”accidental” glance toward a small alley.

That alley, located on the outskirts of the jade stone market, was rarely frequented by passersby. The dim streetlights cast long, dark shadows—it was the perfect ”ambush spot.”

She paused for a moment, as if hesitating about which way to go, then ”casually” turned into the alley.

The two men behind her exchanged a glance, a cold glint in their eyes, and followed her in without hesitation.

As soon as they stepped into the alley, a faint sense of pressure instantly weighed upon them.

Everything around them was deathly silent; there were no pedestrians, only the flickering of the dim streetlamp overhead, which failed to penetrate the deep darkness.

”Where is she?” the tall, thin man whispered, frowning as his eyes quickly scanned the surroundings.

The next second, a faint buzzing sound pierced the air! ”Zzzzt!”

The burly man felt a sudden numbness at the back of his neck, followed immediately by an electric current surging through his nerves, causing his muscles to instantly lose all control!

”Argh!” Before he could even react, his knees gave way, and he crashed to the ground with a thud. His hands twitched violently, his facial muscles contorted, and the corners of his mouth spasmed uncontrollably.

The tall, thin man’s expression changed drastically. He whipped his head around to see a slender figure slowly emerging from the shadows, holding a black stun baton and staring at them coldly.

”Who sent you?” Ye Nanxing asked, her tone calm and her gaze indifferent.

The tall, thin man turned pale and instinctively took a step back. ”You, you...!”

Before he could finish, ”Zzzzt!” The stun baton descended again, pressing directly against his arm!

The current surged into his nerves instantly. The man let out a scream before collapsing stiffly to the ground, his limbs twitching and white foam bubbling at the corners of his mouth!

Ye Nanxing stood before them, looking down coldly as the stun baton in her hand still crackled with faint blue electricity.

This wasn’t some generic self-defense tool bought on a whim; it was a high-voltage, military-grade stun baton, capable of instantly incapacitating an adult man!

Its origin? In her previous life, she had survived in the Apocalypse for three years and had long since learned how to utilize every available weapon to deal with enemies. The stun baton was one of her favorite pieces of ”low-key yet efficient” equipment.

After her rebirth, one of the first things she did was order several high-end self-defense items from the black market, and the stun baton was among them.

With a voltage of up to 5,000 volts, unless someone was wearing insulated gear, even a hit on the lowest setting was enough to paralyze them for over ten minutes!

Not to mention the highest setting—if someone was unlucky enough, they could even die on the spot.

As for these two, they could only blame their own bad luck.

The tall man was still twitching, and the burly one was struggling to move. Ye Nanxing stepped directly onto his wrist and spoke coldly.

”Speak. Who sent you?”

The man’s face turned livid. His mouth opened and closed as he struggled to resist, but his body simply wouldn’t obey.

Ye Nanxing impatiently raised the stun baton and waved it in front of him, her tone flat. ”Not talking? Then I’ll give you another taste.”

The man’s face turned deathly pale, and he hurriedly started to speak.
