An Alphard sped on the road toward the suburbs.
In the driverâs seat was a strong middleâaged man with a full beard.
Haylan sat in the second row, shoulder to shoulder with another elegant middleâaged man wearing goldârimmed glasses.
Jerry sat in the front passenger seat and introduced him to Haylan. âMr. Griffith, let me introduce you. This is the treasure appraiser I invited, our helper, Haylan..
âHaylan, this is Mr. Griffith, the boss of the Southern Heavenly Gate Raw Stone Market, Jerome!â
Haylan and Jerome looked at each other and shook hands. They were now acquainted.
âIâve heard a lot about you, Mr. Jaber. Itâs my honor to meet you today.â Jerome smiled and looked Haylan up and down.
He was doing business in Lightdom City and had some connections with the people in the underworld and the government. Naturally, he knew about Haylanâs reputation.
Putting everything else aside, just the fact that Haylan had suppressed Robert in Lightdom City was something he had heard of.
âWell, itâs just an undeserved reputation and not worth mentioning.â Haylan said with a smile.
âMr. Jaber, you are indeed openâminded. Iâm impressed.â
Jerome shook Haylanâs hand and said enthusiastically, âMr. Jaber, Jerry invited you to the Southern Heavenly Gate Raw Stone Market, which is the honor of our Griffith family.
âNext, please guide us in the Gemstone Identification Competition, Mr. Jaber.
âAs long as you can win honor for our Griffith family, we will definitely reward you heavily.â
He was in the gem business and placed great importance on the rankings and honors of the Gemstone Identification Competition.
If Haylan could win a good honor for their family, their family would definitely earn more in the raw stone market.
âSure, sure,â said Haylan.
Jeromeâs expression was solemn as he said in a deep voice, âMr. Jaber, to be honest, Lightdom C All the jewelers from all over the world have come to participate in the KingâConferring Ceren Gemstone Identification Competition is two to three times larger than before.
lively this time. n the scale of the âAccording to the organizers, we have more opponents this time. They are all incomparably powerful treasure appraisers.
âTo be honest, if it werenât for you, I wouldnât even dare to hope for an award.â
He had investigated the strength of the other contestants and knew that they all had mysterious appraisal skills. Among them, there was even a mysterious Earth Master and Golden Finger.
If Haylan wasnât around, the treasure appraisers in the Southern Heavenly Gate Raw Stone Market wouldnât be able to defeat others.
âIâm very confused. Is it very important to obtain rankings and honor on the Gemstone Identification Competition?â Haylan asked.
Jeromeâs expression became even more solemn as he explained, âOf course itâs important. Weâre in the gem business. If we can get a good ranking on the Gemstone Identification Competition, it means that weâre more capable in the industry.
âThe more capable we are, the higher the probability of discovering great gems. More customers will believe in our appraisal skills, and more customers will come to our raw stone market to buy gems.
âThis is a beneficent cycle!
âOn the contrary, if we canât win honors at the Gemstone Identification Competition, our customers will be snatched away by other people in the gem industry, and our business will plummet, âMost importantly, if we can win honor at the Gemstone Identification Competition, we can also enjoy the top advertising benefits in the industry,â said Jerry.
âI see Haylan nodded.
No wonder Jerry had given him so many emerald pendants. It was just to make him on their side.
In this way, he owed Jerry a favor, so he could only work for Jerry.
âMr. Jaber, let me tell you about our rules and opponents of the Gemstone Identification Competition this time, Jerry said.
He took out a book and handed it to Haylan. Then, he continued to explain to Haylan.
Under his explanation, Haylan roughly understood the rules of the Gemstone Identification Competition.
At the same time, he learned a lot about his opponents.
However, to his displeasure, he was representing the Southern Heavenly Gate Raw Stone Market.
The rewards that he had selected belonged to the Southern Heavenly Gate Raw Stone Market, not to him.
Jerome was a businessman and was very observant. He immediately saw through Haylanâs dissatisfaction and said, âMr. Jaber, you just have to win glory for us.
âAs for the emerald pendants you obtained, we donât want any of it.â
âYes, yes, yes. We donât want it,â said Jerry hurriedly.
They were now betting everything on Haylan, believing that Haylan could lead the Southern Heavenly Gate Raw Stone Market to glory.
As for the precious emerald pendants that Haylan was likely to get next, they were not greedy at all.
There was no way. Haylan was too strong. He could even suppress Robert. They did not dare to be greedy for the treasures obtained by such a person.
âYou invited me here. If I donât share the treasure with you, it wonât make sense.â
Haylan shook his head and said, âHow about this? No matter what treasure I obtain next, weâll split it 50-50â
âWellâ¦â
Jerome and Jerry were shocked when they heard that.
They were already prepared not to fight with Haylan. In the end, Haylan actually gave them half.
Wasnât he too generous?
âSince all of you arenât saying anything, it means that youâve tacitly agreed. Alright, itâs settled then.
Weâll split it 50-50 Haylan directly clapped his hands and made the decision.
Jerome did not refute and only said gratefully, âThen it would be impolite for us to decline. Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Jaber He understood Haylanâs achievements in the Southern Heavenly Gate Market last time. Ever make a huge profit.
Jerry was overjoyed.
The entire journey was smooth!
An hour later, they finally arrived at the venue of the Gemstone Identification Competition.
This was an extremely huge mine in the suburbs!
s only half, he would The area was extremely spacious. It was at least the size of ten football fields. There were relatively few buildings, only seven or eight tall buildings scattered here.
At the same time, there were also many incomparably huge mining trucks coming in and out.
There were cranes, big trucks, and huge mining trucksâ¦
These trucks were like behemoths as they stood in the mine. Their bodies were filled with the luster of metal.
Haylan and Jerryâs Alphard was simply pitifully small in front of these big trucks.
There were many large sheds here. People were coming and going, and there was a lot of traffic. It was extremely lively.
âIs there actually such a spacious mine in Lightdom City?â
When Haylan saw this, his eyes were filled with shock.
He had lived in Lightdom City for so many years, but this was the first time he had seen a huge mine.
âTo be exact, this isnât Lightdom City anymore.â
Jerome looked at everything in front of him calmly and said, âWe are now at the border of two provinces. Half of this mine belongs to Lightdom City, and the other half belongs to another province.
âTherefore, this Gemstone Identification Competition is hosted by two units.â
