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

    From how pale Sebastian was, Bryson deduced that he must be very sick or extremely weak. He even felt that fighting against Sebastian would be an insult.Although he wasn't the top fighter in the Lynch family, he was still one of the best ones. There was no honor in winning against a sick person."I'm going to give you the same words," Sebastian said, smiling widely."Mr. Lynch, he's actually very powerful. I don't think that Bryson will be a match for him. Why don't you let them attack together?"Jayden had seen Sebastian fight before. Although he could see that Sebastian looked unwell, he was still an expert. It would be better to be more wary. Colton rolled his eyes at Jayden. He knew Bryson's skill level. How could an expert who was at the eighth level of the Energy Refining Technique lose against a sick man?Sebastian looked so frail that he was sure to be knocked out as soon as they started fighting. Plus, the number of people in the whole of Acorn City who could last more

    Colton nodded slightly and patted Cliff on the shoulder. He turned and said to Sebastian, "You heard him. He's one of our men. Therefore, you can't take that with you, but you won't make too much of a loss. Here's a check for 500 thousand dollars. Hand that emerald buckle over!"Colton was clearly not going to give Sebastian a choice in the matter. He was used to doing whatever he pleased by relying on his family's influence. Besides, they were also on very good terms with the local Martial Arts Court. He couldn't use his family's connections for the grudge between Jayden and Sebastian, but he would have ample reason to use the Lynches' influence for a priceless emerald buckle.There always had to be a legitimate reason. Clearly, Colton was smarter than Jayden. "I'm not interested in your check, and I'm not going to give it to you either!" Sebastian answered coldly without even glancing at the check.Colton looked thoughtfully at Sebastian and clasped his hands behind his back.

    Sebastian had just walked out of the antiques street and had held out his hand to flag down a cab when a middle-aged man in black training clothes walked over to him. The man held out a hand to block Sebastian and Unus' path."Stop!" Sebastian glanced at the middle-aged man and asked, "And what can I do for you?""Mr. Lynch wants to see you. Come with me!" the middle-aged man said icily."Mr. Lynch? Who the hell is that?" Sebastian asked sardonically, sneering. "It's Colton Lynch, and you better remember it!"Sebastian heard a clear, crisp voice. Two young men walked over to him, one walking slightly in front of the other.There was a young man in a branded suit next to the first one. Sebastian couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw the young man next to Colton. It was Jayden, his old friend from Sartvale.Sebastian had never expected to meet Jayden Acorn City. Now that he thought about it, Jayden still owed him a life. If Sebastian hadn't shown mercy to him, the flowers

    The old man nodded slightly and said, "That's right. My name is Solomon Jackman. If you think things through, you can come to Townsend Clinic. We can discuss the price!"Solomon bowed to Sebastian before squeezing out of the crowd. Cliff's eyes reddened as he watched Solomon leave. Solomon was a prominent figure in Acorn City. Not only did he have exceptional medical skills, he was also skilled in martial arts. However, neither of those were Solomon's true specialty. What he was most skilled at was antique appraisal! Any antique that Solomon appraised was sure to be a treasure among treasures.Noticing Sebastian and Unus turning to walk away, Cliff immediately became agitated. "Stop!" he shouted.Sebastian turned to glance at him and said, "A deal's a deal. No returns or refunds. You said that yourself. It's the rule of the antique industry!"Cliff ignored all of that. He came out from behind his stall and grabbed Sebastian's sleeve. "I'm not going to sell that emerald pendan

    "I don't think that you've seen the original form of this emerald pendant, either," Sebastian said, smiling coldly at Cliff. Cliff looked disdainfully at him. He felt that Sebastian was just unhappy about being tricked and was trying to provoke him. "Stop putting on that mysterious act. Why wouldn't I know about something that belongs to me?" Cliff demanded with a scoff. "You might really not know," Sebastian replied. He closed his palm slightly and exerted a slight force. The layer of stone on top of the emerald pendant peeled off. While everyone looked on, dumbstruck, Sebastian opened his palm once more. The crowd gasped.There were two clouds of energy on the emerald pendant, chasing each other like a pair of fish. One was black, while the other was red. The emerald pendant had been square-shaped originally, but it had now become a round emerald buckle. In the middle of it, a pale yellow energy was rising slowly. Everyone cried out in shock. It was clearly a rare trea

    Some people just didn't know what was good for them. Even if Cliff had wanted to laugh, he should have waited for Sebastian to leave before doing so. How could he call a buyer a fool while they were still there?"It may be a little crude, my young friend, but it doesn't change the fact that you were hoodwinked!" Cliff said, guffawing gleefully.Since Sebastian had already paid, he could no longer take it back. After all, it was a rule never to accept returns or refunds. When Cliff thought of how he had charged Sebastian more than ten thousand for something that had only cost him about 300 to 400 dollars, he became even more smug. "You'll just have to bear with it, my young friend. Not regretting your purchase is the rule of the antique industry. Even if you've now found out that you were deceived, you can't get your money back!""That's right. The work on the emerald pendant that you're holding is so shoddy that it was clearly just done last week. It's a new item!" "Watch out

    Sebastian laughed at the reluctant expression on the stall owner's face. He weighed the emerald pendant in his hand and asked, "Mister, are you sure that this emerald pendant is worth 210 thousand?"With that, he tossed it onto the counter and turned to leave."Huh?"The stall owner immediately ran around to the front of the stall when he saw that Sebastian was about to leave. He grabbed him and said, "Don't be in such a rush to leave, my young friend. Let's negotiate. If you're sincere about buying it, I'll sell it to you at 150 thousand, and I'll be making a loss. Let this be the start of a friendship between us!"Sebastian smiled slightly and said, "Mister, even a layman can tell that this emerald pendant is a fake. I just like the patterns on it because it's quite trendy. That's why I asked about it on a whim."Describing the patterns on the antique as trendy only served to show how obvious it was that it was a fake.The stall owner turned beet red, then white. He cursed hi

    However, the more famous something was, the more imitations there would be. Antiques were no exception. In Boren, streets filled with antique stores were abundant. From Klane City to the smallest town, they were omnipresent.There were stores and stalls of various kinds that had everything, but all of them had one thing in common. All the antiques and trinkets that they sold were a mixed bag of authentic and fake. Buyers had to rely on their own judgment. There was also an unspoken rule there. Once a deal was made, no returns were allowed. If a buyer had paid for an item before realizing that something was wrong or recognizing that it was a fake, they would have no choice but to accept it. There was a saying about how the golden age of antiques was during times of chaos. Although they were now in times of peace, many members of the upper class were still very interested in them. Both experts and laymen liked to have a few collector's items in their homes. There were plenty of we

    "Watch him closely! If you lose him, I'll have your head!" Anton said before hanging up. A malicious grin spread across his face.As the son of the head director of Boren Martial Arts Court, many were eager to curry favor with him. If it came to dealing with Sebastian, there were plenty of people willing to do the dirty work for him. Acorn City was the second largest city in Boren after Klane City, and Anton knew just who to call. About two weeks ago, the Lynch family of Acorn City had sent gifts to him. However, as the Lynches were a third-rate elite martial arts family, Anton had dismissed them. That was why, despite searching frantically, he couldn't find Colton Lynch's name card."Damn it! Where did that asshole's name card get to?"It was the first time Anton had been so anxious about finding the name card of an heir from a third-rate family. After rummaging around for a while, Anton had a sudden flash of inspiration. It was in the trash can!He suddenly remembered that
