âAn ordinary emerald pendant? How⦠how is this possible?â
When Frode heard this news, his face was filled with disbelief. He rushed over immediately and squeezed into the crowd to take a closer look.
When Frode rushed into the crowd and carefully observed the emerald that had been cut out, his expression became even more gloomy The host and Haylan were right. This was indeed a very ordinary gem.
Although the surface looked very smooth and green, it was only a layer of green. Under this layer of green, the quality was very ordinary At the bottom, the quality was no different from that of ordinary stones.
Such green gem would not be worth more than two hundred dollars on the market.
âHow is this possible? How could this be? Frodeâs eyes were filled with shock. His pupils constricted violently, and his face was filled with disbelief.
Previously, Frode had clearly determined that this stone at least had a top-grade sapphire. Why was this the result?
Why?
Most importantly, Frode judged it to be top-grade sapphire, while Haylan judged it to be an ordinary gem. This was equivalent to Frode losing to Haylan before the battle even began.
This made Frode feel even more defeated.
âIs it really just an ordinary emerald pendant?â
When Simon saw the emerald pendant, he immediately turned around and looked at Haylan in shock. Simon was so shocked that his mouth was agape. His heart was like a monstrous wave, and Simon could not say a word.
Haylan was right.
Not only Simon, but the way Maxwell and Jerry looked at Haylan had also changed.
So many treasure appraisal masters had appraised it and thought that this stone could produce top-
grade sapphire. In the end, however, only Haylan could tell that it only had an ordinary emerald pendant inside.
This meant that Haylanâs appraisal level was enough to instantly defeat all the treasure appraisal masters.
âImpossible. This guy must have been lucky!â Maxwell gritted his teeth and thought to himself In Maxwellâs heart, Haylan had always been trash. Now, Haylan had suddenly become so powerful that he had instantly defeated Frode.
Haylan couldnât accept such an outcome and subconsciously thought that it was just Haylanâs lucky guess.
Haylan remained calm and silent.
âThis is just an ordinary emerald pendant? It canât be âPreviously, they boasted so much and said there was a top-grade sapphire inside. Could it be that the Southern Heavenly Gate Raw Stone Market is deliberately hyping it up?â
âI thought I would be able to see some top-grade gems. I didnât expect it to be trash. Iâll never come to the Southern Heavenly Gate Raw Stone Market again!â
âI walked around just now. Most of the gems on this floor are trash. Theyâre probably used to cheat the customers. Now that even such a raw stone is trash, there probably arenât any real treasures in this place.â
âThis raw stone market is really trash!â
âItâs more than that. They pushed out such a stone to create a gimmick and even obtained such an ordinary gem by cutting out it. Itâs obvious that they are scamming money. Whoever comes here to buy things in the future will be a foolâ
âThatâs right. This stone was auctioned for a high price of 20 million dollars just now. Now, the buyer got a useless stone thatâs not even worth 400 dollars. This is a scam!â
After seeing the gem on the screen, many people present were greatly disappointed and discussed it.
Many people had even started to walk out. They felt that the Southern Heavenly Gate Raw Stone Market was specially opened to scam people and did not want to stay any longer.
Expecially the buyer of the stone, he sat on the ground dejectedly. His eyes were filled with despair, and his face was as pale as paper. He muttered, âItâs over. Iâm finished!â
He paid 20 million dollars. This was a gamble that he gambled with all his wealth.
But now, he had obtained a pile of useless stones and suffere crushing defeat.
How were he going to live Î the future?
At the thought of this, his eyes turned red. He could not help but cry bitterly, tears streaming down his face âThis sucker has been scammed badlyâ
âIt seems like the Southern Heavenly Gate Raw Stone Market is really a black-hearted place.
Remember not to come here to buy stones next time.â
Seeing this buyer in such despair and pain, the buyers present all revealed sympathetic expressions. They hated this market even more and were filled with vigilance.
âHe was greedy, wanting to win but losing everything in the end. Who can he blame for suffering a great loss?â
âThe host didnât cheat or rob him. He was the one who rushed to give the market moneyâ
There were also many people in the crowd with cold expressions. They had no sympathy for this buyer and their attitudes were extremely cold.
However, this was only a small number of people. Most people felt that it was all the fault of the black-hearted manufacturer who opened the auction hall to cheat the customersâ money. And the customers were already leaving.
Jerryâs expression changed upon seeing this.
It was fine to earn money, but if the Southern Heavenly Gate Raw Stone Market was labeled as black-hearted, cheating, and deceiving, the raw stone market would be finished Jerry was the first to come back to his sense. He immediately walked to the stage of the auction hall and snatched the hostâs microphone. He laughed and said, âEveryone, please calm down.
âThat stone just now was just a charity program that we acted in The goal was to tell everyone to be careful when gambling on stones. You have to be calm all the time and not risk everythingâ
Hearing his words, those who were about to leave were all stunned. They stopped in their tracks and looked over in confusion.
A program?
A public charity program?
What was going on?
Not only them, but even the staff at the auction hall were dumbfounded.
What was Jerry doing?
At this moment, Jerry ignored the surprised gazes of those people and came to the buyerâs side.
Jerry whispered in th buyerâs ear. âBro. I will return your 20 million dollars to you, but as a repay, you have to act with me.â
âReally?â The buyerâs eyes lit up.
âThatâs right. You have to admit that youâre a special actor who cooperates with us,â Jerry said in a low voice.
After saying that, Jerry took the microphone and said, âNext, letâs invite our special actor to say a few words to everyone.â The buyer came back to his senses and immediately took the microphone.
He wiped his tears and revealed a happy smile. âHello, everyone. Iâm Kris, a special actor invited by Mr. Griffith.
âHow about this show weâre putting on?
âYou didnât expect this, did you? My acting skills are so good that I deceived all of you. Weâre doing this to tell everyone that stone gambling is risky. Donât throw your entire fortune into it just because the stones are hyped up to be very good!
âOtherwise, youâll suddenly go bankrupt while having a meal and singing songs. Perhaps your wife will leave you and your son will despise youâ¦.
âYouâll be homeless andâ¦â
Thinking of his previous predicament, Kris squeezed out two more streams of tears.
When Jerry saw Krisâs performance, he was overjoyed As expected of someone who could fork out 20 million dollars in cash. Kris was so eloquent that he said all that Jerry wanted to express Without waiting for Kris to continue, Jerry snatched the microphone and laughed a few times. Then, Jerry said loudly, âKris has said it so well. Applause for him.â
Jerry was the first to applaud.
Seeing Jerry clap, the staff and the vendors in the raw stone market also clapped.
Jerry was the manager here, so they had to listen to him.
Jerry raised his hand to stop everyone from clapping. Then, he said, âThe show just now was just a lead-in. Next, Iâve prepared a better show for everyone, the stone gambling competition!
âNext, our challenger, Haylan Jaber, will appear and compete with our respected treasure appraisal master, Frode Harrod.
âGive them a round of applause!â
With that, Jerry clapped again.
The others followed suit, clapping thunderously.
Immediately after, the scene suddenly dimmed. Two beams of light shone on Haylan and Frode.
