Chapter 1232

Author: Wendell Mayhew
"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

    Hunter grabbed a teacup and smashed it into pieces. He pointed at Gareth on the screen and yelled, "You useless loser!" "Mr. Ballard will go first for the next round," Gunther said, looking very grim. Sebastian chuckled and pointed at a geode, which was about a foot in diameter. "I'll go with this one." The staff member didn't dare to dismiss Sebastian again. He looked serious as he carried the geode over to the geode slicer. Once it was open, it was revealed to be a half-emerald!Gareth broke out into a cold sweat. A half-emerald! If the geode he chose wasn't as good as Sebastian's, he would have lost twice in a row. That would make the third round the most critical round for him. At that thought, Gareth stood up and clasped his hands behind his back. He looked serious as he walked thrice around the geodes. "Things aren't looking good for Mr. Yadden.""That's right. If he loses this round, the next round will be hard.""This young man is really something else." Only t

    If the news spread, he would bring embarrassment to the Sloane family's name!The status of his own family was declining rapidly as it was. If he embarrassed them any further, they would be one step closer to getting kicked out. "Call Ivan Galledin at once and tell him to send someone over to stop an illegal gambling operation!" Hunter suddenly thought of the perfect plan.If the state police department sent someone to arrest them, it would solve his problem without embarrassing the Sloane family's name. It would also get Sebastian arrested. If so, Hunter would be able to do as he pleased with him. "Good idea!" Gunther immediately said flatteringly, "You're so much smarter than us, Mr. Sloane. Why didn't I think of such a good plan?"Hunter spat at him and said angrily, "There's no thought in that dumb brain of yours because all you think about are women's hips!""Yes, yes! I'll call Ivan at once!" Gunther said. He pulled out his phone and called the newly instated chief of

    Even though Declan had already said that the old man was only in shock and didn't have a cerebral infarction, the middle-aged man still wanted to hear the opinion of a young traditional medicine doctor like Sebastian! He must be either crazy or an idiot!"If he applies that needle, your father's complexion will go from pale to dark at once. When that happens, it'll only be even more dangerous," Sebastian said impassively."Stop talking crap, Sebastian! My grandfather is the elder of the Healer Sect! Are you implying that he's not as good as you are?" Bryce yelled angrily, pointing at Sebastian.He was furious. "Sebastian, are you doubting my skills in medicine? You're a rookie in the medical field. I only complimented you at the dinner table out of politeness. Did it go to your head?" Declan demanded curtly, his expression changing."You're trying to prick the acupuncture points on the base of the patient's neck as well as in the center of his chest so that you can unblock his br

    "Wow, it really is Mr. Byrne Senior! Hello, hello!" A slightly pudgy middle-aged man exclaimed. He hurried forward and shook Declan's hand heartily.Declan frowned and looked at him for a long time, but he couldn't remember where he had seen the pudgy man before.There were too many people who tried to flatter Declan every day, and he couldn't possibly remember every single one of them."Who are you?" Declan asked, his brow furrowed as he shook the man's hand. "Mr. Byrne Senior, you're so busy, so of course you won't remember me! I'm Fritz Thomson! I had the pleasure of meeting you two years ago while I was shooting a documentary about traditional medicine," Fritz said courteously.Declan finally nodded. Fritz was either a reporter or a director. It wasn't surprising that Declan had forgotten who he was.Although the Healer Sect was also among the mystic martial arts sects, it was very different from the Nine Sects. The Healer Sect had always had close connections with the sec

    Sebastian waved a hand slightly at the middle-aged man and said, "I'm not a genius doctor. I'm just an ordinary traditional medicine doctor. However, that old man is in a very dangerous situation. You must not touch him!"He spoke urgently when he saw that the middle-aged woman was propping the old man up so that he was lying on her lap.The middle-aged woman looked up at the middle-aged man. She was clearly hesitant.They were on the top floor, and the tiled floor was so cold. She didn't think that it would be safe for her to let the old man just lie on the floor. "Listen to Dr. Ballard! You won't go wrong!" the middle-aged man said quickly to her."Dr. Ballard? He's nothing compared to my grandfather!" Bryce exclaimed. He was annoyed to hear the middle-aged man addressing Sebastian so respectfully.After all, Declan was the elder of the Healer Sect. There were even numerous sage doctors who had to treat Declan with respect as their senior in the industry!Who did Sebastian th

    Since Declan had coincidentally met Sebastian at the dinner table that day, he had thought of bringing the latter over to his side. That way, Sebastian could work for him. "Sebastian, I'm planning to make an exception and take you as my apprentice. What do you think?" Declan asked again when he saw that Sebastian was ignoring him.Sebastian continued to ignore him. Did he really thought he could be Sebastian's mentor? The old man must be crazy!"Sebastian, you should hurry and kneel to my grandfather! You're lucky to get him as a mentor! My grandfather hasn't accepted any apprentices for 20 years!"Bryce glared at Sebastian, whom he felt was being far too tactless. There were countless people fighting to have Declan as a mentor."Mr. Byrne Senior, I don't wish to have a mentor. Besides, no one is qualified to be one," Sebastian said impassively. "You little—"Declan was furious. Sebastian was far too arrogant! He was already humbling himself by deigning to take Sebastian as an

    Bryce saw the anger in Declan's face, so he said reluctantly to Larys, "I'm sorry, Mr. Compton. I've acted impulsively."Acted impulsively? It would have been better if Bryce hadn't apologized at all. His apology had made Larys even angrier. He clearly had no respect for Larys at all if he could slap him just out of a moment's impulse. Larys was the mayor of Steinberg. How could he just let things go just because Bryce had said that he had been impulsive? "Mr. Compton, my grandson is young and ignorant. Please don't hold it against him." Declan had no choice but to speak up and apologize to Larys on Bryce's behalf. Larys could only nod. He smiled slightly and said, "Forget about it. Make sure that it doesn't happen again."Once everyone was seated once more, Bryce continued staring viciously at Sebastian. It was all Sebastian's fault that he had been slapped twice by Declan!He couldn't just let him go, but he didn't dare to cause any more trouble at the dinner table. Howeve

    "People always say that you can see what a person is like from looking at their family. I can see that it's true," Sebastian said impassively.That was a harsh insult to Declan. It implied that Bryce's rude behavior was a reflection of Declan's lack of good character, and that their family didn't have good manners.Declan turned purple with rage. Ever since he had become one of the esteemed members of the Healer Sect, everyone in the martial arts community always spoke respectfully to him, especially those of the traditional medicine community. All of them were polite whenever they met him.However, Sebastian had insulted him thrice in a row, and each insult was worse than the last. Rosalie couldn't help but laugh. She leaned on Sebastian's shoulder and turned her head away, her slender figure trembling with the effort of not laughing out loud."You're terrible! You've insulted them so slyly!" Rosalie whispered in Sebastian's ear.Sebastian reached out to put an arm around her t

    Sebastian's expression turned cold at once. What was so important about an elder of the Healer Sect? Was there any reason for him to make so many people wait?Besides, the banquet had been set at 9:00 pm, and both he and Rosalie had arrived on time. Why should Declan be treated differently?Sebastian had never had any patience with people who used their age as an excuse to do whatever they wanted to."Forget it. Calm down, both of you, and let's both refrain from saying anything else."Larys stood up quickly to smooth things over. Both Sebastian and Julian remained silent out of respect for him. However, they both exchanged icy looks.Now that the conflict had subsided, Larys leaned closer to Sebastian and whispered, "Mr. Ballard, I'll be honest with you. I can't afford to offend either you or Mr. Byrne. Please help me out and refrain from pursuing this matter further."Larys was being sincere. He was in awe of Sebastian's allies, but Declan had equally powerful allies supporting

    Upon hearing Rosalie's words, Sebastian laughed wryly and shook his head.The Nine Sects wouldn't dare to say a thing to the Ballard Estate, who in turn thought nothing of the Healer Sect.Andreas snorted in laughter and said, "If you had said so 100 years ago, even I would have had to concede. However, times have changed now.""What do you mean?" Rosalie looked curiously at Andreas. It seemed that Sebastian's cousin was very familiar with the Healer Sect. "About 12 years ago, they went on the wrong path. If you check thoroughly, you'll probably find that the development of many new medicines was related to the Healer Sect. However, they are not the refiners!"Rosalie seemed to be deep in thoughts. Her brow darkened as she said thoughtfully, "Do you mean to say that the Healer Sect has abandoned the art of medicine and has decided to go in the direction of the art of pill refining instead?"This made Andreas see Rosalie in a different light.Medicine and pill refining were very

    "Are you talking about your cousin? He doesn't look like a businessman at all, though. He looks more like…"Rosalie put her chin in her hands, her brow tightly furrowed. However, she couldn't find an appropriate way to describe Andreas.He felt very strange to Rosalie. There was a kind of energy he had that was difficult to express in words. "It doesn't matter whether he's a businessman or not. He just has to have money. Why don't we discuss it with him tomorrow? I think he'll probably support you unconditionally," Sebastian said confidently."Really? But if we develop a similar medicine, won't we be going against the Croydons? That doesn't seem right."Lorcan was a friend of Oliver's, after all. That meant that he was a friend of the Griffins. Rosalie didn't want to make such an important family their enemy in business. "With that contract, we have to show the Croydons that they shouldn't become ungrateful, nor should they use their force against us!" Sebastian exclaimed in a
