"Who does he think he is to offend Mr. Hilton? This kid won't escape unscathed!" The crowd murmured, starting their discussion. Some were sympathetic, some regretful, and others gleeful at the prospect of Sebastian's misfortune.However, Sebastian remained calm and composed. He wore a faint smile. "It's okay. I refuse to believe that there's no justice left in this world."Seeing Sebastian's demeanor, the gemstone dealer could only shake his head helplessly. He prayed that the situation wouldn't escalate any further.Instead of leaving, Sebastian tossed the stone to the dealer and said, "Sir, please open it for me here.""Now?" The gemstone dealer was stunned, glancing at Sebastian and then at the furious Elijah.This kid was fearless. He actually wanted the stone to be opened right in front of Elijah."Yes," Sebastian replied calmly.Elijah became even more furious at his words. However, he immediately sneered, "What? You don't seriously think the gemstone you bought can yiel
Elmer had no choice but to open the stone when he saw Sebastian's firm decision.The onlookers started to gossip as well."This young man is brave indeed. He really wanna open it in front of Mr. Hilton.""It's very obvious his stone is junk, right? Does he really expect it to be a gemstone?""Gosh, he's gonna get his limbs broken today for sure."Sebastian remained calm even when he was faced with the onlookers' negative remarks.Elijah spoke up sarcastically, "Hey, I come from a family that specializes in gemstones. Although I'm not very capable, I'm still knowledgeable when it comes to stones. "I can predict all the stones on this street here! Yours is just junk, and it's impossible for it to bore any gem, unless the sun rises from the west."Elijah laughed loudly and thought that Sebastian was dumb enough to bet with him. Sebastian chuckled lightly and said, "Mr. Hilton, don't be too complacent and arrogant in life. What if you're mistaken?""Mistaken? Me?" Elijah chuckl
At this time, the onlookers had gone wild with excitement. People from all over the street rushed to witness the splendor of the emerald. After all, it had been many years since such a high-quality emerald had been discovered on the street.Even Elmer couldn't contain his excitement. He couldn't believe he had cut an AAA quality emerald. Rising to his feet, he returned the stone to Sebastian with a smile. "Young man, congratulations! This emerald is worth at least three to four million."Sebastian smiled while he took the stone and placed it in the paper bag.Sebastian turned and coldly reminded the stunned Elijah, "Mr. Hilton, you can have those outer layers and waste materials."At this moment, the crowd, including Elijah, suddenly snapped out of their stupor. Elijah's face turned livid. How could he have misjudged this? It was impossible!"Damn it! Go to hell!" Elijah clenched his teeth and swung the club at Sebastian's head. But Sebastian just smirked as he swiftly g
"Got it, boss. I'll make sure to get the job done," Monki said. He grinned as he picked up a vase from his stall and weighed it in his hand. Seeing this, Jaegar’s eyes widened. "W-What are you planning to do?" Monki chuckled innocently, lifting the vase as if he were about to smash it against his own head. "Crack his skull open? What do you think, boss?" Jaegar slapped Monki and scolded, "You idiot! Do you realize what you're suggesting? What we need is a setup!" "Well, then what's the plan?" Monki rubbed his cheek, looking puzzled and slighted. Jaegar thought for a while and said, "R-R-Remember that urn we picked up from the mausoleum a few days ago? We'll use t-that! Wait for the right moment, bump into him, and o-once it shatters, w-we'll demand millions from him!" "Damn, boss! That's a solid plan." Monki was excited. He quickly pulled out an earth-colored urn from a box, which was stained with dirt. The urn looked plain and ordinary. It was nothing more than a typical
"Today, you ain't walking out of this street without paying up!" Monki said. Sebastian frowned, his face clouded with displeasure as he glanced at the burly Jaegar behind him, then at Monki and Connor, who were accusing him in front. Clearly, it was a setup. Sebastian shook his head with a wry smile. "Come on, guys, if you're gonna pull a stunt, at least be more professional about it. I didn't even have contact with you. "You're the ones who smashed that urn on the ground yourselves. There are plenty of witnesses around. You can't just make up lies like that." The onlookers, who were ordinary folks, immediately voiced their support for Sebastian. "Yeah, I saw it clearly. The young man didn't touch them. They smashed their own stuff on purpose." "This is a scam. They're trying to extort money from the young man.""They look familiar. Aren't they Jaegar and Monki? They're notorious for this kind of thing. This poor guy's in trouble, these guys are notoriously evil." Lis
However, just as Monki thrust his knife forward, Sebastian grabbed his wrist. He didn't make any unnecessary movements. No matter how hard Monki exerted himself, he couldn't move his hand. "Using a knife? Isn't that a bit much?" Sebastian asked coldly.With a forceful twist, he snapped Monki's wrist and delivered a powerful kick to his stomach. The impact sent Monki flying backward like a cannonball, smashing several stalls as he landed on the ground and howling in pain.Monki struggled to get up. He clutched his broken wrist while his face contorted in agony. His insides felt like they'd been torn apart."Fuck! How dare you fight back? You're playing with fire!"Jaegar was furious. He drew a gleaming machete from his waist. Together with Connor, they lunged at Sebastian with lethal intent, leaving no room for mercy.Their goal was to get the emerald, which was worth millions. It would be enough to sustain them for long.As the crowd worried for Sebastian, they witnessed a
What a great find!Sebastian pocketed the token swiftly after picking it up and promptly left the place. Meanwhile, the three men on the ground watched Sebastian walk away with the token, grinning cluelessly."Boss, that kid picked up something good," Monki chimed in as he approached.Jaegar glared at him and scolded, "Even if it is, do you dare to go snatch it? Quickly, let's go to the hospital…"…Sebastian was a few steps away from leaving the street. Suddenly, a steady voice came from behind, stopping him. "Young man, please hold on. I just saw you pick up a black token. I accidentally dropped that token. Please return it to me."Sebastian frowned upon hearing that and turned to see an old man in a gray robe and a hat. He was holding a mahogany sword and carrying a yellow cloth bag. His yellow teeth showed as he smiled at Sebastian.The smile was sinister, making Sebastian feel uneasy, especially given his odd attire. It was highly likely that this old man was from some
Sebastian chuckled at his words. "Whoa, for a Dainist, you're not all that peaceful." "You brat! Quit being a smart mouth. I want that token! The one million dollar offer is still on the table! If you're smart, hand it over quietly!" The old man snarled, his expression dark and menacing. He added, "If you're not, don't blame me for what happens next!"The old man's words dripped with malice, and his eyes were filled with a sinister energy.Sebastian chuckled again and said, "If we can't come to an agreement, then come and take it. I'd like to see what you can do, old man.""You brat, you're really arrogant! Do you think that just because you took down a few people, you're invincible? The world is far more complex than you imagine! And the people in it are far from ordinary!" The old man's voice was cold and foreboding. "There are some people you can't afford to provoke! Anger me, and I can destroy your very essence, ensuring you never find peace again!"Sebastian chuckled in
