Chapter 176
Jerry looked at Haylan in dissatisfaction and said in a deep voice, “Alright, let’s begin. In thirty minutes,
the two of you will each choose fell ston
“No problem”
Haylan nodded. Then, he looked at Frode and said, “Mr. Harrod, you’re so old and you’re an elder. I’ll
let you choose first.”
“Let me choose first? It’s an honor for a layman like you to gamble on stones with me. I’ll let you
choose first.” Frode glanced at Haylan disdainfully
In Frode’s opinion, even if Haylan chose first, he would only try his luck. Haylan would not be able to
find any decent stones with decent emerald pendants at all.
After all, in the gem industry, there were many things that relied on one’s luck, but not so many times.
Letting Haylan choose first was naturally letting Haylan expose himself first.
“Are you sure? Haylan similed
Haylan had x-ray vision and could sense the existence of spiritual energy. Finding emerald pendants
was a piece of cake for Haylan.
“Im an old senior in the appraisal industry, so I naturally have to be polite to a junior like you. Cut the
crap and start.” Frode placed his hands behind us back. His eyes were calm and composed, and he
had the bearing of a grandmaster.
“As expected of Mr. Harrod, He is so impressive!”
To choose from so many raw stones, whoever makes the first move will have the upper hand. Mr.
Harrod is really magnanimous to be so humble and polite. Im impressed.”
“In this day and age, only a great grandmaster is willing to give up his or her dignity and reputation and
makes the opponent make the first move in a stone gambling competition”
“In comparison, Haylan is too arrogant. How can a layman like him be Mr. Harrod’s match?”
“He still wants to compete with Mr. Harrod I think he’s just showing off before an expert. He’s
overestimating himself.”
“That’s right. He didn’t know has limits at all. How dare he scam Mr. Harrod! He must be crazy to want
to become famous.”
When many people saw this scene, they praised Frode from the bottom of their hearts and admired

At the same time, they looked at Haylan with disdain and mocked Haylan badly.
After sensing the enthusiasm of those people, Frode became even calmer, but his heart was filled with
inexplicable.
satisfaction.
Frode enjoyed the feeling of being flattered. It made him feel like he was already a big shot above
everyone else. Hence, Frode had his hands behind his back as he looked at Haylan. “Tll give you ten
minutes to choose. You can begin. Treasure your time.”
Haylan smiled. “Thank you, Mr. Harrod. In that case, it would be impolite of me to decline.”
“Hurry up. My time is limited, Frode said calmly
Haylan smiled and ignored Frode. Instead, he circulated all the vital energy in his body into his eyes
and looked at the raw stones that filled the entire place.
He used X-ray vision.
In his vision. Haylan could see spiritual energy in all the raw stones.
“This, this, and this….
After Haylan glanced at it, he immediately pointed out the ten stones with the richest spiritual energy.
He even got a marking pen from the staff and made a mark
The entire process was very smooth. In fact, it did not even take a minite for Haylan to complete his
selection and get the staff to move the ten raw stones onto the stage.
These ten raw stones were of different sizes and shapes.
The big one was the size of a washbasin, wlule the small one was only the size of a fist.
Moreover, Haylan chose them from many stalls. The farthest one was 900 feet away from Haylan, and
the closer one was under Haylan’s feet.
“He has finished choosing so quickly? Is he serious?”
“It’s obvious that he is just trying his luck. At such a low level, he even wants to compete with Mr.
Harrod? He overestimates himself?”
“This is simply asking to be humiliated!”
Sering how Haylan randomly chose stones, everyone present looked at each other and laughed loudly.
Their eyes were filled with mockery as they looked at Haylan.
“Haylan, you chose the stones just like that?” Simon was also stunned.
Simon originally thought that Haylan would have some kind of extraordinary ability to clinose good raw
stones with top-grade emerald pendants. Ele did not expect Haylan to be so casual.
“What’s wrong? Haylan asked in confusion.
Simon looked at Haylan’s self-righteous appearance and felt complicated.
Simon didn’t understand it at all.
Haylan chose the stones so casually. Even if Haylan was rich, it was too much to waste it like this.
Simon still wanted to say something, but Haylan was already bargaining with Jerry and quickly paid.
Ten stones cost 60 thousand dollars.
Basically, each stone cost an average of 6,000 dollars.
Simon frowned.
For Simon, this amount of money was not mich.
However, whether or not Haylan could recoup his cost was a big problem.
This was only the bronze VIP floor. It was obvious that even if there were gems inside, they would not
be of much value.
It was very likely that Haylan would suffer a loss by buying stones casually like this
After Haylan paid, he turned to look at Frode. “Mr. Harrod, I’ve finished choosing. It’s your turn.”
Young man, are you sure you chose stones so casually?” Frode said in a deep voice.
“It’s a stone gambling Of course, one laas to be fast, ruthless, and accurate to find the most valuable
raw stones with good emerald pendants in the shortest time possible. Is this considered casual?
Haylan smiled.
Frode’s expression darkened, and he regretted it.
Haylan’s casual words made Frode feel like he was being looked down upon.
Even if Frode won Haylan, people would think it was an unfair victory. Besides, in their hearts, it would
not be honorable
even if Frode won
“Mr. Harrod, it’s your turn,” Jerry said.
Frode’s expression darkened. He stood up and took out the tools he carried with him to observe and
appraise some stones.
Frode’s movements were very professional, and his skills were very good. After choosing a suitable
raw stone, Frode immediately got Kim to mark it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Quick, take a picture!”
When many viewers saw Frode take action, their eyes immediately lit up. They were incomparably
excited. They took out their phones and aimed at Frode, wanting to record Frode’s skills and secretly
learn them.
As Kum followed Frode to mark the stones, he looked at Haylan coldly. “Young man, learn it. Mr.
Harrod is a professional.”
Haylan looked at Kim as if Kim was an idiot and remained silent.
Arguing with a fool was purely a waste of time.
At this moment, Simon came to Haylan and whispered, “Haylan, aren’t you being too rash?”
Frode was a treasure appraisal master, and he had to use tools to carefully observe the stones. Every
time Frode made a purchase, he would be extremely cautious.
In comparison, Haylan’s random purchase of ten stones seemed especially sloppy.
“As long as I can win.” Haylan said confidently.
“You think you can win? Haylan, you piece of trash really think you’re a master?” Maxwell sneered
Haylan also looked at Maxwell as if he was looking at an idiot. Then, Haylan ignored Maxwell,
Such behavior made Maxwell angry again.
This silent mockery made Maxwell even more furious.
“Fuck, I’ll kill you after we leave the raw stone market!” Maxwell glared at Haylan and thought to himself
virulently.
About twenty minutes later. Frode also chose ten raw stones and placed them on the stage.
“Then, let’s start cutting the stones,” Jerry said.
As Jerry spoke, someone moved 20 machines up and cut the stones chosen by Haylan and Frode.
“Haylan, Mr. Harrod will definitely win this time. Just wait and admit your defeat!” Kim grinned hideously
and glared at Haylan
Kim had followed Frode just now and witnessed Frode’s true abilities. Kim also knew what kind of
emerald pendants were in these raw stones. They were enough to beat emerald pendants that were
worth less than 20 thousand dollars.
Frode didn’t say anything. He just stood on the stage with confidence in his eyes as if victory was in his
grasp.
“It is unknown who will win yet. Don’t be so sure,” Haylan said calmly.
“Mr. Harrod’s No. I raw stone has produced a gem!”
At this moment, a staff member saw the green light in the raw stone and immediately shouted.
