“Steve is about to be proclaimed as king and all kinds of people have appeared.”
Haylan stared at Alice and Kingston from behind. His eyes turned extremely cold as he pondered.
His extensive experiences told him that the two people were up to no good.
“Mr. Jaber, I almost had a heart attack.”
After seeing those people leave, Jerome and Jerry were relieved.
Especially Jerome, who was sitting on the ground and panting.
Just now, Haylan had staked Southern Heavenly Gate Raw Stone Market for a bet and it scared the daylight out of him.
If Haylan won, it didn’t matter.
But if he lost, their family’s business which they had run for generations would be gone.
“Actually, you don’t have to worry or be afraid. I’m unlikely to lose.
Haylan’s expression was calm as he said flatly, “Besides, even if I lose, I can compensate you with a new raw stone market.”
With his financial resources and ability, he could totally create a bigger market than Southern Heavenly Gate Raw Stone Market, allowing Jerome and Jerry to prosper and earn more money.
“Mr. Jaber, that’s different.”
Jerome sighed and said, “Southern Heavenly Gate Raw Stone Market is our family’s ancestral estate. We can’t let the efforts of the older generation be ruined in our hands.”
“That’s right, Mr. Jaber. Next time, can you not stake our Southern Heavenly Gate Raw Stone Market for a bet?” Jerry chimed in to persuade him.
Haylan’s indifferent remark made him break out in cold sweat.
After hearing the brothers‘ words, Haylan realized that he had acted recklessly. So, he said. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t make a bet like that without seeking your permission.
“Don’t worry, I promise I won’t do this again.”
He was confident in winning the bet, but Southern Heavenly Gate Raw Stone Market was the Griffith brothers‘ private asset. What he did was indeed wrong.
After all, no matter how small the pie was, it did not belong to him.
“Mr. Jaber, don’t take this the wrong way. It’s not that you can’t do this. What I mean is, can you ask for our opinion before doing this?” Jerome quickly explained.
“No problem. I’ll ask for your opinion next time. I’m sorry,” Haylan said.
Jerome and Jerry were relieved when they heard that.
Southern Heavenly Gate Raw Stone Market was very important to the Griffith brothers. They had put a great deal of effort into enlivening the market.
Furthermore, they had made a lot of sacrifices to finally scrape together enough money to pay for the registration fee for Gemstone Identification Competition.
If Haylan lost their Southern Heavenly Gate Raw Stone Market, everything they had worked hard for would be in vain.
Therefore, it was understandable that they were worried.
Haylan did not say much and continued to close his eyes to rest.
He had a strong feeling that there would be many hidden talents and formidable opponents in the Gemstone Identification Competition. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
Even equipped with God’s Eye, he might not be invincible.
At the very least, the organizer had considered the fact that someone might have x–ray vision. So, they had covered the raw stones with a special lid to prevent people from prying in advance.
“Hello, Mr. Griffith.
When Haylan was resting with his eyes closed, a young man came to Jerome and complained to him, “Business is difficult. I think our raw stone market is going to lose money this time.”

“Why is that, Cesar?” Jerome asked.
The young man in front of him was Cesar Dunn. He was also a gemstone expert who had inherited his father’s business which specialized in gold, silver, and gemstones.
Due to their similar age, Jerome and Cesar clicked with each other and had a good relationship.
“There are so many great talents in this competition. I walked around casually just now and found that many raw stone. markets have invited experts over.”
Cesar sighed and said, “The Jadwin Market has invited Golden Finger, Chambers Anderson; the Louz Market has treasure appraisal master, Ilickman Adams; and Nyan Gemstone Market has Stone Wizard, Huck Alexander…”
He reeled off the names of more than twenty experts like the back of his hand.
Jerome and Jerry’s faces darkened.
They had heard of those treasure appraisal masters‘ names. All of them were experts and amazing gemologists who had dedicated more than a decade of their lives to the gem industry. Each of them could be considered a Golden Finger. Among them, the most outstanding one was Stone Wizard, Huck Alexander. No gemstone in its raw form could ever escape his very eyes.
“By the way, apart from that, Morris Rodriguez, the Dragon Seeker of the Sherba tribe will also be here,” Cesar added. When Jerome and Jerry heard that, the thin line of their brows jumped in surprise.
Morris Rodriguez, the Dragon Seeker.
The man was a legendary expert. It was said that his ancestors were tomb raiders who had traveled extensively to search for royal tombs. They were skilled in divination, choosing geographic locations, face reading, and so on.
Such people could see through the circulation of dragon energy underground. If they gathered the dragon veins and dragon energy based on geographic theories, they could completely change their fate.
One of the mystical abilities they possessed was to identify gemstones.
They were true gemologists.
“Jerome, I think all the gemologists in the area are in this Gemstone Identification Competition. It’s very difficult for our market to gain a foothold here,” said Jerry.
He had seen the wonders Haylan did and knew that Haylan was adept at identifying gemstones.
However, after hearing so many experts‘ names, he became perturbed and lost confidence.
“I guess we will probably be eliminated in the first round.” Cesar sighed.
“Just go with the flow and do our best.” Jerome also sighed.
He had confidence in Haylan, but his confidence was limited.
Cesar kept sighing while chatting with them because he did not have any confidence in the appraiser he had hired. He was extremely pessimistic.
His pessimism affected Jerome and Jerry, causing the two of them to grow nervous and uneasy.
They looked into the distance and saw that many great experts in the industry were there. And it made them become
more nervous.
Compared to them, Haylan had been resting with his eyes closed without any pressure,
As time passed, more and more appraisers came and sat in their seats, waiting for the Gemstone Identification Competition to begin.
The venue was spacious, with at least a hundred stalls there.
And there was a huge pile of raw stones stacking up in every stall.
“Clang!”
About an hour later, with a deafening ringing of a bell, everyone’s attention was drawn to the stage.
On the stage, an emcee said loudly into the microphone, “The Gemstone Identification Competition officially begins now!
“There are 100 raw stones in each stall.
“Every appraiser will choose 10 stones from these 100 your stoner and
