Yusselâs face was concealed by his hands, his anger uncontrollable. His eyes gleamed with a deranged thirst for blood.
Emerging from his seclusion was no small feat for Yussel. He wanted to forge an alliance with Haylan and ask Haylan to kill someone for him.
But Haylan didnât take him seriously. Even the Griffith brothers played trick on him.
Now, for the sake of Stone King Cup, he was forced to swallow his anger. However, his heart was filled with hatred. He wished he could tear Haylan and the Griffith brothers into pieces.
His companionâs expression was solemn as he said, âYussel, donât forget our mission this time.
Donât waste too much time. on minor matters. We must ensure success in our plan!â
âDamn it, Reinhard, you werenât the one who slapped me just now. Of course, youâd say that! Iâll make you pay today!â Yussel gritted his teeth and said.
Reinhardâs eyes darkened. âRevenge is possible, but not today, and not during this time. Yussel, we need to consider the bigger picture!
âIf you mess around and mess up our plan, donât blame me.
âYou have to know that a group of us has been planning this for decades.
âIf you mess up the plan, donât say that I wonât let you off. Think about it, master wonât let you off.â
His words were extremely cold, and his voice was low and filled with killing intent.
When Yussel heard this, his expression changed, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
He could disregard Reinhardâs emotions, but the thought of the masterâs terrifying power made him tremble involuntarily.
The consequences of offending the master were beyond imagination. He would prefer death over facing such repercussions.
âDamn it, Haylan, Jerome, and Jerry. Iâll let you live a little longer.â
Yussel rubbed his chest and fixed a fierce gaze on Haylan, Jerome, and the others in the distance.
He wished to confront Haylan and the others, unleashing his anger upon them, but he understood that considering the bigger picture was paramount at this moment.
âDonât be in such a hurry. Haylan and his family are only acting so arrogant and overbearing because they have the backing of the Zabel family.â
Reinhard approached and gently placed his hand on Yusselâs shoulder. He spoke in a hushed tone, âFurthermore, the reason why the Zabel family is so arrogant is solely due to their status as the pillar of the Longhard Kingdom and the influential figures within the Lightdom Military Department.
âOnce our plan is executed successfully, the Zabel family will crumble. And then, weâll have the opportunity to not only eliminate Haylan and his companions but also take down Mr. Zabel himself.
âImagine the sight of the Zabel family and the Lightdom Military Departmentâs higherâups kneeling before you. It will be a glorious moment.â
Hearing this, Yusselâs eyes changed. His heart was also filled with anticipation.
In fact, he was already looking forward to such a scene. When he thought of the scene of Haylan and Mr. Zabel kneeling in front of him and begging for mercy, he was incomparably excited.
Yussel nodded and said, âAlright, itâs never too late to take revenge!â
âReinhard, letâs focus on the big picture and choose the raw stone.â
When Reinhard heard this, he finally relaxed.
He was really afraid that Yussel would lose his mind from anger and attack Haylan and the others, ruining the plan.
Luckily, Yussel had regained his composure and did not do anything overboard.
He took out a remedy pills pill and handed it to Yussel. âYussel, Iâve already chosen raw stone. Take a remedy pills pill first and circulate your energy to recuperate.â
âOkay.â
Yussel nodded. He took remedy pills and swallowed it. Then, he sat crossâlegged and began to circulate his energy to heal himself.
Reinhard glanced at Haylan, and a cold glint flashed across his eyes.
However, he did not say much. After choosing raw stone, he began to wait.
At this moment, he suddenly sensed something and hurriedly looked to the southeast.
Over there, a blackâeyed young man was smiling at him.
This smile was very strange in Reinhardâs eyes.
âWho is this person?â Reinhard frowned, his face solemn.
Suddenly, he sensed something and looked to the other side.
In the southwest, a young man in suit was also giving him a strange smile.
Reinhard had an extremely strange feeling in his heart. It was as if he had become an existence in high demand, like prey that many hunters were staring at.
However, he was not afraid, nor did he show any fear. His expression was calm, and there was no fluctuation in his expression.
At the same time, he was also looking in all directions, observing the participants.
At this moment, he realized that the people around him were really experts.
The appraisers in each stall were not simple. Other than the appraisers, there were people who looked very dignified in every stall.
âLooks like the significance of the Stone King Cup this time is extraordinary. Many people from the hidden sects have come. Are they all here for the prize?â Reinhard frowned and pondered.
As a member of the Geoist Master and a master of the mystical art of face reading, Yussel possessed keen eyes that could discern the extraordinary nature of individuals with a single glance.
In the second round of the competition, he could already see that many people had energy points of blood in their bodies, just like a torvosaurus.
It was obvious that these people were not ordinary people. They were all here for something.
âTimeâs up!â
Just as Reinhard was pondering who these people were and what their motives were, the host picked up the microphone and said, âAll appraisers present, please stop. You are not allowed to choose raw stone again. Otherwise, you will be disqualified for cheating.
Following his words, many appraisers present could only stop.
The host immediately sent a polisher and photographer to every stall to cut the stone and record it.
Another hour passed, and all the stones had been cut.
In this round, more than half of the participants were eliminated.
There were only 30 participants who could qualify for the preliminary round.
After those failures left, the scene became much quieter than before.
âNext is the knockout stage!â
The host glanced at everyone who stayed behind and said, âThere are exactly 30 people left. Then, weâll split into 10 groups.
âThere are three people in each group. Three people have to choose gems that can produce jade within the same pile of raw stone within the specified time. The person with the highest quality of jade will win.
âThe two people with the lowest quality of green or without green will be eliminated.
âThen, the winner will compete with the winners of the other groups. The winner will enter the next round, and the loser will be eliminated.
âThis cycle continued until the two best appraisers were selected and entered the semiâfinals.
âThe winner of the semifinals will be able to enter the finals and compete on the big stage in the middle of our dividing line.
âNext, all participants, please send representatives to draw lots to decide on the grouminesâ
They competed with each other and were eliminated.
In other words, the real competition had just begun.
Haylan opened his eyes and looked at Jerome. âMr. Griffith, Iâm representing Southern Heavenly Cate Raw Stone Market. As the boss, you should go and draw lots.â
Jerome nodded and immediately walked towards the host.
