Chapter 30 Here You Are
Ruben looked at Atlas in confusion and asked, "Why? This is the stone that Sherlock Baker and
Magician Bill choose!"
Ruben thought that Atlas had never heard of their names, so he added, "Both of them are experts in
the stone-gambling circle, and their eyes are very sharp. For many times they have made money
without losing on the stones they picked!"
Atlas remained unmoved and said calmly, "If you believe me, don't raise the bid!"
Ruben looked at the green stone and then at the calm Atlas.
In the end, he chose to trust Atlas. "All right, you are my idol. I trust you!"
"However, we can't let that idiot Joseph take advantage of us!" In fact, in Ruben's subconsciousness,
he still believed in Sherlock Baker and Magician Bill.
As for listening to Atlas, it was just because his performance in the casino shocked Ruben.
Atlas looked expressionlessly at the stone.
Although he didn't know stone gambling, with the help of the cultivator's perception, Atlas could feel
that the Universe Primordial Energy in the stone was very weak.
However, among the stones placed outside, there were several with Primordial Energy.
From this, Atlas judged that those so-called top-grade gems should be jade stones containing
Primordial Energy.
However, based on their different properties, their forms were different.
For example, those with the fire properties were rubies, and those with the wood properties were
Imperial Green and so on.
However, the appearances of the stones placed outside was the same as ordinary stones. It seemed
no green on them, so they were not valued.
If there were Imperial Green Emeralds hidden in anyone piece of them, then the outer layer of it must
be green. This is the standard by which most people judge the value of a stone.
Of course, there were also experts who could judge stones based on the materials. However, experts
are rare. Moreover, they would usually not come to a small place like the stone gambling market. Most
of them would be hired by the stone mining site at a high price.
Joseph and the others continued to raise the bid. Soon the price of this stone had risen to 630,000.
However, if it turned out to be a top-grade gem, its value would immediately rise to millions or even
tens of or hundreds of millions.
Sherlock Baker raised his hand and bid again. "650,000!"
Magician Bill glared at him and said with a snort, "This raw stone is worth at most 700,000. If the price
is more than that, the risk will be too high and cost a big lost if it turns out to be a piece of waste."
"660,000!"
Sherlock shook his head and said, "I don't agree with you. What's the most important thing of stone
gambling? It is gambling! If it is an Imperial Green Emerald, then we will make a lot of money."
"But I'll add ten thousand more and that's it, 670,000!"
Magician Bill snorted, "I'll give it to you. There will definitely be better ones afterwards!"
Joseph looked at Tobias and asked, "Mr. Morrison, do you think we can still raise the price?"
Tobias looked at the rough stone, thought for a few seconds and said, "Since it's gambling, I'll try my
best. Besides, Ruben keeps silence in the first few rounds. I guess he must be waiting until the end to
make the final offer!"
Joseph nodded, raised his hand, and shouted, "I'll pay 680,000!"
The people around looked at him, shook their heads, and sighed. Obviously, they intended to give up.
Sherlock and the Magician also gave up.
"680,000 once, 680,000 twice. Is there anyone else bidding?"
At this time, a smirk appeared on Ruben's face. He suddenly raised his hand and said: "700,000!"
Everyone immediately turned to look at him. Someone recognized him.
"Isn't he the young master of the Kimmely family? The son of Ronald Kimmerly is rich and powerful of
course!"
"700,000. If he can't get an Imperial Green, he will lose money!"
"Seven hundred thousand was a big deal for others, but for Mr. Kimmerly, it doesn't matter at all. He
doesn't give a toss!"
Joseph got a long face. He glared at Ruben. This rough stone had a very high chance of producing top-
grade gems.
However, the risk of losing was high too.
"Mr. Morrison, what should we do?" Joseph didn't want to give up this one. Furthermore, he didn't want
to chicken out to Ruben Kimmerly.
Morrison touched his chin, stared at the stone, and said, "We can't give up this stone, but we have to
pay more attention to strategy."
"If you only add ten thousand every time, Ruben will definitely add along as well. The price of the stone
will only be raised higher!"
Joseph looked at the smug Ruben on the other side and said worriedly, "Then what should we do? It is
obvious that he wants to fight with us at all cost!"
Tobias said, "You must raise the price to 800,000. If you raise the price by one hundred thousand at a
time, he would consider it carefully, even if it's Rubuffoon Kimmerly."
Joseph asked, "What if he continue to raise the price?"
"Then we'll give up."
Joseph nodded. It seemed feasible.
On the opposite side, Ruben looked at Joseph and shouted arrogantly, "Joseph, raise the price! No
matter how much you add, I will raise it higher than you. I just want to suppress you!"
Joseph sneered, raised his hand, and shouted, "800,000!"
What!
"Is this guy crazy or stupid?" An increase of one million each time!
No one had ever raised the price like this!
Feeling the surprise of the crowd, Joseph felt a little proud. He looked at Joseph and sneered, "Mr.
Kimmerly, if you continue to raise the price, I will give it to you!"
Unexpectedly, Ruben laughed and rolled his eyes: "Only a fool would buy a piece of trash. I just wanted
to cheat you a little more!"
"What..." Only then did Joseph realize that he'd been fooled. Ruben didn't intend to get this rough stone
at all. Ruben wouldn't continue to bid even if he only added ten thousand.
He got seriously trapped!
Joseph was enraged.
Tobias was embarrassed for his mistake this time. But according to his understanding of Ruben, he
would definitely fight to the end with Joseph. Why did he suddenly change his thought?
Tobias looked at Atlas sullenly, who was standing next to Ruben. He was sure that Atlas must have
said something to Ruben, so that Ruben changed his mind, which led to his wrong judgment.
Joseph looked at Tobias and said aggrieved, "Mr. Morrison, Rubuffoon has gone too far!"
Tobias said in a low voice, "Stop complaining. Let's cut it! If we can get a top-grade gem, they will
absolutely regret it!"
"Yes! Let's cut it!" Joseph nodded heavily.
After seeing this, Shelly stuck out her tongue in shock. She took Viviana's hand and said, "How can this
ugly stone cost nearly a million?"
Viviana also couldn't calm down for a long time. It was her first time coming here, so she was as
shocked as Shelly.
"Let's wait and see. As long as we can make money, how much it cost doesn't really matter."
Although Evelyn was also very shocked, half of her attention was on Atlas. She was very interested in
him.
"He's so mysterious. He's just an ordinary person, but he's not surprised at all in the face of so much
money!"
"Look at the calmness and slight disdain on his face, as if everything in the world is hard to catch his
attention. That kind of expression is absolutely impossible to pretend."
"What kind of person is he?"Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
