With a sharp crack, the stone split cleanly in two. The cross-section was plain and dull-no shimmer, no trace of a glowing crystal core, just another useless rock.

A sigh rippled through the crowd, and someone even chuckled.

I couldn’t help but feel bad. There went 7,500 dollars straight into the trash. I let out a quiet sigh. No wonder people said if you won once in ten tries, you were considered lucky.

The cutter glanced at me with sympathy. “Miss, do you still want to keep cutting?”

I looked toward Samson. His expression didn’t change a bit. He acted like the wasted cash wasn’t his, like he was watching someone else’s stone get trashed.

“Keep going,” he said flatly.

I nodded helplessly. It wasn’t my money on the line anyway.

Alice muttered in my mind, “I really hope this one pays off. Otherwise, that’s a lot of money down the drain.”

I took a deep breath, watching the cutter work again, curiosity slowly replacing disappointment. Why was Samson doing this anyway?

Was he doing this to test his luck, or was there something hidden inside these stones?

One after another, the next three stones turned out worthless too. Not a hint of green, not a glimmer of energy crystal. The onlookers had already lost interest, and I couldn’t help sighing again.

“There’s one more left. Open it too,” Samson said calmly, his eyes fixed on the last rough stone. No hesitation at all.

I thought about it and urged, “Mr. Ortega, maybe we should stop here. We haven’t hit anything good. People might laugh if we keep wasting money.”

He turned his head, scanning the crowd, then asked lightly, “Do you know anyone here?”

I blinked and shook my head. “No.”

“Then why care about their opinions?” he said, a faint smirk on his lips. “Even if they laugh, it won’t matter; they don’t know who we are.”

Okay, that actually made sense.

I had to admit, Samson’s thick-skinned confidence was something worth learning.

Alice burst out laughing. “Haha! This person’s mindset is next level!”

The cutter moved the last stone onto the machine. I picked up the stone; it felt heavier than the one I carried earlier. Same size, but twice the weight. Could there really be something inside?

The cutter had just started the machine and was about to slice through the middle when Samson suddenly stopped him. “Wait!” he said sharply.

“What’s wrong?” I asked, my heart jumping a little.

He pointed to the lower right corner of the rock, his tone firm. “Tell him to start cutting from the lower right side. Slowly.”

I quickly repeated his instructions to the cutter. The man looked confused but nodded and adjusted the blade’s position.

The whir of the saw softened as he lowered the speed. Bit by bit, stone dust peeled away. The crowd that had started to leave turned back, drawn by curiosity.

Then, just a few inches in, a flash of deep green gleamed from the cut.

“It’s green! It’s green!” someone shouted. The whole shop exploded with noise. People rushed forward, pressing in so tight we could barely move.
