"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
Compared to Rose, the women that Gareth had toyed with in the past were all ugly country bumpkins who didn't even deserve a mention. That was why he was willing to lose tens of millions just to have a taste of her. "Alright!" Hunter gritted his teeth and said, "However, I get to have her for the first week." Hunter rubbed his palms together, his eyes alight with desire as he stared at the screen. "No! One day each!" Gareth negotiated shamelessly. They were acting as if Rose was already theirs. Beside them, Gunther felt his temper flaring. He should have been the one sharing with Hunter, but now that old man Gareth had popped up out of nowhere. He was almost 60! How could he be dominating women all day? Wasn't he afraid of dropping dead?Hunter clenched his teeth and said, "Deal! However, I get to have her on the first day."Gareth was dissatisfied, but when he saw the menacing look in Hunter's eyes, he backed down. "Make the arrangements, Gunther." Hunter waved a hand a
When Gunther saw that Sebastian had taken the bait, he was delighted. He immediately smiled ingratiatingly and said, "It's very simple. You need to win three out of five, so even if you get a full emerald while the other four are duds, you would still lose."Gunther paused for a moment and continued, "That means that what you'll have to pay is the total amount that the two of you bet multiplied by three." "What if I win?" Sebastian asked, smiling. "Of course, your winnings will be calculated in the same way. We don't cheat," Gunther smiled. "Let's start then. What are you waiting for?" Sebastian urged eagerly. He had come to make Hunter lose his money, after all. The 30 million he had just won was just an appetizer. The true show had yet to begin. Sebastian had been wondering how to win money faster, but Gunther had just delivered himself up on a platter. How could Sebastian give up such a great opportunity?"Alright! Mr. Ballard is as forthright as expected!" Gunther's exp
"I'm betting on Mr. Yadden!""Same here!""I bet that Sebastian will win!"Zane's brow was tightly furrowed as he weighed his bank card in his hand. He was hesitant. "What are you thinking about? Even if you don't place a bet, that bit of money won't be enough to pay for the entire thing." Gavin pushed Zane gently. Zane looked back at Gavin and said, "At least there's still 30 million! If I place the bet and lose it too, we won't be able to get out of here.""Trust him. You won't be mistaken." Rose looked firmly at Zane as she spoke. "Alright. Either we get rich overnight, or—""Shut up and don't jinx it!" Gavin said as he snatched the card away from Zane. He slammed it down on Sebastian's table and said, "I bet 30 million that Mr. Ballard will win!" "Wow! Things are getting insane today! People are betting in tens of millions!""There's going to be a good show tonight!" "Where did this Ballard spring from?""Who cares about that? Do you think he'll be a match for Gare
