The cab stopped at the corner of an old street. The moment I stepped out, a thick mix of dust and mineral smell hit my nose, making me cough.

Shops and booths lined both sides of the narrow road, piled high with stones of all shapes and colors. The rocks stacked up like small mountains. So this was where Samson had brought me, the famous Stone Gamble Street in Isnesh Territory.

There was a saying in the world of stone gambling, “One cut makes you rich, another makes you broke.”

“We’re here to buy stones?” I asked, watching Samson walk toward a booth. I was confused. He was the future Alpha; he could easily get any advanced energy crystal he wanted. Why come to a place like this just to gamble on luck?

“Just looking around,” he said calmly, his eyes already fixed on a fist-sized rock. The surface was rough, dark gray, and full of cracks. It looked like an ordinary piece of junk. “Ask how much it is.”

I stepped forward and spoke to the stall owner. The man looked us up and down, then named a price that made my jaw drop. “This beat-up rock costs 8,000 dollars?” I blurted out.

Before I could argue, Samson lifted his chin slightly toward the seller. “I’ll take it. Buy it for me.”

Money really meant nothing to him. He spent it without even blinking.

As his hired interpreter, it wasn’t my place to argue. I turned back to the stall owner and started bargaining. After ten minutes of back-and-forth, I got the price down to 7,500 dollars.

When I finally held the heavy stone in my arms, I couldn’t help but sigh. What a waste of money!

Alice’s voice echoed in my head, teasing, “Rich people are wild. 7,500 dollars for a cracked rock? He could’ve bought you ten premium frostheart crystals with that!”

I strongly agreed, but all I could do was hug the stone and follow quietly behind Samson.

For the next half hour, Samson went full-on shopping mode. He bought 5 more stones in a row, the prices ranging from 5,000 to 20,000 dollars each.

Some looked smooth and shiny, while others were full of holes. I watched him swipe his card again and again. My heart aching with every purchase. He spent tens of thousands of dollars just like that!

“Mr. Ortega.” I finally couldn’t hold back anymore. “What are you even planning to do with all these rocks?” My arms were so full of stones that I could barely see in front of me.

He didn’t answer. His eyes just flicked toward the pile I was holding before he started walking toward a small shop across the street with a sign that read Stone Cutting. “Let’s open them all,” he said calmly.

Inside, the place was packed with people-tourists and traders crowded around cutting tables, their eyes glowing with that familiar gambling thrill.

The shop owner spotted us and came over with a friendly grin. “Those aren’t from my shop,” he said in a thick local accent. “We charge a service fee-1,000 dollars per stone.”

Samson didn’t even blink. He simply handed over his card. “Go ahead and charge it,” he said.

I sighed and began handing each stone to the cutter one by one.
