Sebastian turned to Gavin and said, "Gavin, hold him down."Gavin nodded and held Zane down tightly.The muscles on Zane's face were trembling with the pain, and his lips had become pale and bloodless."Zane." Seraphina turned away. She couldn't bear to watch.Sebastian's hands moved down Zane's legs inch by inch, starting from the tops of his thighs. With every inch that he moved, Zane's legs spurted out fresh blood, which splashed all over Sebastian's face and body.He was using his spiritual energy to force Zane's bones back into their original position. In the process, the wounds that had begun to heal over the past few days would be torn open once more, and it would rearrange the bones in his legs. It was tantamount to breaking Zane's legs once again and putting the pieces back together. One could imagine how painful that would be.After half an hour, Sebastian used four planks to fix Zane's legs in position once more. He wrote out a prescription and handed it to Dennis. H
"I don't think we'll be able to," Theodore said, sighing."Seb, let's forget about this. Gunther isn't anything to be afraid of, but we can't afford to offend the people behind him," Zane said, lowering his head. He looked despondent."Can't afford to offend them?" Sebastian raised an eyebrow."The owner of the place is part of the Janover Sloane family. They already told me that they'll forget about the 30 million this time and to think of it as a lesson learned," Zane said, smiling bitterly. He didn't want Sebastian to offend someone dangerous for his sake.The Sloanes were among the top ten families in Janover. Even Silas couldn't afford to offend them, let alone Sebastian."The Sloanes?" Gavin frowned and asked, "What was the name of the one who beat you up?""Hunter Sloane." Zane would never forget this name."Seb, he's notorious in Janover as well. It will be difficult to go against him," Gavin said, frowning."Are you familiar with him?" Sebastian asked, turning back.
Sebastian laughed."He's not going to listen to us so easily," Gavin said wryly. "That's why we have to go gemstone betting. How can we get to know about him if we don't interact with him?" Sebastian asked, his eyes flashing."Damn!" Zane said through gritted teeth as he slammed his fist down on the bed. "Let's not rush to deal with him. We should lure Gunther out first," Sebastian said, grinning."Tell us, Seb. How should we do it?" Zane asked, looking determined. He didn't want to get revenge because he didn't want to bring trouble upon Theodore. However, Sebastian was clearly implying that they had targeted the Northmans in the first place. That would be a different story.Zane wasn't a pushover. Since Hunter wanted to fight, then he would comply. They would see who ended up the final victor."What do you think, Mr. Northman?" Sebastian still wanted to get Theodore's permission."I won't comment on the affairs of you young people. However, I advise you not to go too far,
"What are you looking at?" Zane slapped Gunther in the face."Huh?" Gunther wiped his drool away, looking as if he had just been shaken awake from a dream. He was startled for a second before he said, "Do you want to go gemstone betting again, Mr. Northman?""Yes. I've got to stand up where I fell down," Zane said, patting himself on the chest."Please, go ahead!" Gunther bowed as he led the way for Zane.He laughed inwardly. Once Zane had lost all his money, Rose would belong to Gunther. Gunther guided Sebastian and the others to a room in the basement. The walls were clearly bulletproof, and every entry and exit was guarded. They walked along a long corridor before coming to a spacious, underground hall. Although it was buried several meters underground, it was as bright as day. In the hall, which was about a thousand feet in radius, there were several long tables laid out. The tables were covered in all kinds of snacks and pastries, and there was also liquor, whiskey, dr
"Oh no, he's collapsed again.""Slice it open again! If you cut it into smaller pieces, there might be some emerald among them?""What would you slice up more of it for? There's no way to do it!""How much did this guy lose? He's probably already lost tens of millions, hasn't he?""He hasn't had a heart attack, has he?"As the crowd gossiped, several security guards brought two medical staff onto the cement podium. They carried the middle-aged man off on a stretcher.It was clear that people often got heart attacks because they had made humongous losses. That was why there was even a medical team on hand."Mr. Northman, are you planning to start right away? Or will you wait for a while before you play?" Gunther asked, grinning. "We'll start right now!" Zane puffed up his chest and strode onto the cement podium. Sebastian followed him. Meanwhile, Rose and Gavin stayed near the long tables and began eating and drinking.They had no clue about gemstone betting at all, and they w
Sebastian had asked because on the way there, Zane had told him about the rules in the club regarding the gemstone betting arena. Most of the players in underground gemstone betting were in the jewelry industry, so even if they got a full emerald or an AAA quality emerald, no one wanted to take it home with them. They would just take cash instead, and it would be at twice the market price. That meant that if players got a geode that turned out to be a full emerald, it was the same as if they made the geodes into pretty trinkets and sold them to the club at market price. The club seemed to be taking a huge risk, but since the club had opened, there were very few people who managed to get any emeralds at all, let alone a full emerald. Additionally, they sold the geodes for twice the price outside, so naturally, they would have to bear the risk for the corresponding profit. Therefore, the entire thing was more unfair to the players. If Sebastian's geode turned out to be a fu
"Seb, the money is in!" Zane shouted excitedly. "Oh, you're very lucky, Mr. Ballard. You earned 30 million as soon as you tried." Gunther was still smiling, but he looked very pained.As soon as the money was transferred, Hunter had also received a text. 30 million! It wasn't a small amount at all. Hunter had come to Sunway, Sartvale without his family's knowledge so that he could get things started with his business.Although he had some money, he only had around 200 million or so. The club was making money, but the investment required to start it up had also been huge. He only had less than 200 million left in his account!In the blink of an eye, 30 million had been taken by someone else. He felt as if his heart was bleeding. "Call Gunther back!" Hunter yelled angrily. He pushed the young model aside and grabbed a towel to wrap around his waist. "I've always been lucky," Sebastian said as he walked off the cement podium. He picked up a glass of water and took a sip. "M
Gareth was renowned in all six of the southeast states as a gemstone gambler, and he rarely met anyone who was a match for him. Many jewelry companies in the country hired him as a consultant. However, he had made too many enemies in the gemstone betting industry, so he no longer dared to show his face. After that, Gunther had introduced him to Hunter. Gareth was delighted to meet an ally as powerful as Hunter was, and the two of them had hit it off at once. Gemstone betting was about luck and experience. Both the players and the house itself were gambling. That was because no one could see what it was like inside a geode. Even suppliers didn't know which batch of stock would produce a full emerald and which batch were mere stones. That was why the Glam Club had come up with an even more thrilling way to bet on gemstones. They had to earn back the huge amounts of money that players sometimes won. The way they did it was to have one person representing the club bet on gemsto
