59 -59: Not Listening to Advice
This gemstone gambling venue really can’t be judged by its appearance; it doesn’t look very impressive from the entrance, but once you really get inside, you find out it’s quite large.
Sophia Gibson, standing beside Peter Brown, introduced it to him: “Peter, this is the largest gemstone gambling venue in East Sea Province.
All the rough stones are transported from Burma.
Many people come here to try their luck.
And you know what, many have made their fortune here.”
Seeing Sophia’s gaze falling on the rough stones, Peter Brown couldn’t help but ask, “You come here to gamble often, don’t you?”
“Regrettably, I’m not very lucky.
I’ve lost every time.”
“Sophia, Peter just said he wants to gamble against me.”
Jalen Carter suddenly interjected.
He raised his voice on purpose, making sure everyone heard him.
Sophia looked at Peter.
Peter smiled and said, “Some people really want to gamble with me.
Since they’ve already suggested it, as a man, I can’t back down.
I have to accept the challenge.”
“You guys!”
Sophia stomped her foot, of course, knowing that Jalen Carter had initiated the challenge.
At this moment, Maisy Spencer came over and asked with a smile, “Did I just hear something about a gambling challenge?”
Jalen Carter replied, “Nothing much, just a little bet with Peter, loser pays the amount they lost.”
Though he said it casually, everyone could see the murderous intent in his eyes.
“Jalen, what are you up to?”
A female classmate who was close with Sophia stared at Jalen.
They could all see that Jalen was pursuing Sophia and took Peter, this farmer, as his rival.
“Jalen, I won’t allow you to do this!
It’s not fair, for Peter is from the countryside!”
Sophia was getting a bit urgent.
Upon hearing this, Jalen grew even more resentful, “No money is no problem.
As Peter said himself, if he has no money, he’ll just crawl out.”
Then, he looked at Peter and said, “Of course, if you don’t want to bet, it’s fine by Sophia.”
Peter smiled and said, “If you want to gamble, go ahead.
At worst, I’ll just crawl out.”
Maisy, aware of Peter’s skills, advised Jalen Carter, “Jalen, don’t gamble.
You can’t outdo Peter.”
If she hadn’t said that, it might have been fine.
But after hearing it, Jalen became even more determined.
He challenged Peter, “Since we’ve decided, let’s each choose a stone worth up to 10,000 dollars, and no matter how many stones you choose, it’s fine.”
After saying that, he quickly entered the area with rough stones, worried that Peter would back out.
Seeing Jalen’s actions, Sophia stomped her foot again and said, “Peter, you’re killing me!”
Maisy took a look at Jalen’s back and then glanced at Peter, saying, “Don’t be too harsh!”
Smiling, Peter also went in.
This time, Peter was planning to buy some jade.
After all, the better the jade, the more powerful the inscribed jade talismans would be.
Now that he had money, Peter wanted to buy some good jade.
As he walked in, Peter gathered his True Qi in his Heavenly Eye and unfolded the power of his inherited techniques.
This display of power was only possible at the Qi Refining Second Layer when guided by a special cultivation art, allowing him to see through the rough stones.
Not everyone at the Qi Refining Second Layer could see through rough stones.
Peter’s inheritance techniques were quite extraordinary, albeit at the cost of consuming some True Qi.
When his Heavenly Eye unfolded, Peter could see the condition of the rough stones here at a glance.
After looking around, Peter became delighted.
There were indeed a lot of high-quality rough stones here.
Thinking for a moment, Peter first placed a 100,000-dollar stone on his shopping cart, and then went over and added a 500,000-dollar stone.
In no time, Peter had almost bought the best stones in the place, spending several million dollars in total.
After buying these stones, Peter saw Jalen holding another stone.
After a glance, Peter casually picked up a stone that could overpower Jalen’s and put it on the cart.
“Peter Brown, I’ve got my stone.
What about you?”
Peter smiled and said, “I’m good too.”
Jalen took a look at Peter’s cart full of stones and frowned, “We agreed to buy stones under 10,000 dollars.
Why did you buy so many?”
At this point, Jalen was a bit surprised by Peter’s purchasing power.
Peter picked up the last stone he picked up and said, “Don’t worry, those are for myself.
For our bet, I’ll use this stone, which is marked exactly at 10,000 dollars.”
Maisy’s gaze fell on Peter’s stones, her eyes full of wonder.
“Peter, I think you guys should just let it go and not play this game.”
Sophia started persuading them.
Peter said, “Sophia, I’m not the one who wants to gamble.
You should be convincing that guy.”
Professor Smith looked at the two stones and smiled, “Forget it, these two stones aren’t worth that much.
It’s just for fun, so let’s not hurt our relationship.”
The professor was quite amicable and didn’t mind the gambling between the two.
“Cut mine!”
Jalen ordered the master of stone dissolution loudly.
Soon, Jalen’s stone was cut open, and to everyone’s surprise, there was some green inside.
“It increased in value!”
Those watching exclaimed loudly.
Jalen looked at Peter triumphantly and said, “Cut another one!”
“I bid 30,000.”
“40,000!”
Two people placed a bid on the spot.
As the stone was being wiped again, a boss exclaimed, “I’ll take it for 100,000!”
“That’s enough, don’t wipe it anymore, sell it now.”
Maisy glanced at the stone and whispered to Jalen.
Jalen smiled proudly and said loudly, “Keep wiping!”
However, this time there was no effect.
As the wiping continued, no more green appeared.
Jallen’s eyes revealed panic, and he shouted, “Cut it from the middle!”
As the knife fell, everyone was dumbfounded.
There was only a thin layer of green on the stone surface, exactly at the two spots where they started wiping.
There was no green anywhere else.
“How could this happen!”
Jalen regretted it.
If he had sold it earlier, at least he would have made 100,000 dollars, but he didn’t take the chance.
However, after looking at Peter’s rough stone, Jalen said, “It’s your turn.”
Peter asked, “Now that your stone is like this, even if you sell it, it’s only worth a few thousand dollars.
Mine could be very valuable, do you still want to gamble?”
“Gamble!” Jalen said with a deep voice.
“Jalen, stop gambling,” Maisy, who was acquainted with Jalen’s father, tried to persuade him.
“Peter Brown, hurry up and cut it!”
Jalen didn’t listen at all.
Shaking his head, Peter said to the master, “Please help me cut it open, and follow the line I drew.”
