Chapter 935
The polisher turned on the machine and slowly polished the sixth stone.
As he was doing that, he complained inwardly, “What’s the point of doing this? This appraiser is clearly messing with you. No matter how I polish the stone, it won’t be an emerald.
After five failed attempts, he lost confidence in Haylan and thought that Haylan was fooling the Griffith brothers. Therefore, he did not take them seriously.
“Please, please be an emerald this time.”
Jerome stared at the stone nervously and kept praying in his mind.
Jerry was also doing the same.
Their hope became slim after failing to identify the five raw stones.
If the same happened to the sixth stone, there would be less hope for them.
Under the gazes of Jerome and Jerry, the sixth stone was polished and no green color was shown.
The Griffith brothers‘ hearts sank.
“We’re finished.
“Another one is gone!”
“Polish the seventh stone,” Haylan said calmly.
The polisher glanced at Haylan in disdain. Without saying a word, he picked up the seventh stone and continued polishing
After scrubbing the stone for more than one minute, there was still no green mass seen.
Seeing that, Jerome and Jerry were deeply disappointed.
The seventh stone didn’t have emerald either.
There were only three raw stones left which had to be emeralds so that they would have a chance of moving forward to the next round.
However, it was too difficult for the remaining three raw stones to be 100% emeralds. The probability was so low that they did not dare to imagine it.
“Polish the eighth stone,” Haylan said expressionlessly.
The polisher scoffed and despised Haylan even more. However, Haylan was a treasure appraiser and a customer. It was not appropriate for him to tell Haylan off, so he could only continue his work.
“Hahaha, just forget it. It’s unlikely for the remaining three stones to be emeralds.”
“Mr. Griffith, your appraiser is messing with you.”
“Just go home. Stop embarrassing yourself here.”
Many contestants laughed loudly and looked at Haylan with haughty disdain as they kept pouring scorn on him.
Haylan remained stony–faced and ignored them. He urged the polisher to quickly polish the stones.
The polisher thus sped up polishing the fist–sized stone.
A tinge of green slowly came into sight.
“It’s an emerald! It’s really an emerald this time!” Jerry shouted and his eyes were filled with excitement.
When Jerome heard that, he hurriedly looked over. “It’s really an emerald!” He was overjoyed.
“Haha, this is amazing!”
The two brothers hugged each other and shouted joyfully.
They had failed to identify the previous seven raw stones. Now that the eighth stone finally turned out to be an How could

The polisher was shocked when he saw it.
“All the stones I polished previously are not gemstones, but the last three are emeralds?”
He immediately perked up and began to polish another stone carefully.
Soon, a green gem the size of a pigeon egg came into sight.
The quality was not very good, but it was still considered a fine gem.
“Surprisingly, it’s an emerald. Looks like Haylan gets lucky.”
“So what if this is an emerald? There are two stones left. Can he be 100% sure that both are emeralds?”
It was indeed too late now. If one of the remaining two raw stone stones were not emeralds, they could only return home. Without showing any emotions on his face, Haylan said to the polisher, “Don’t stop. Continue polishing the stones.
“Looks like they will stay in the competition.”
Seeing three pieces of emeralds, many people were disappointed and sighed inwardly.
Jerome and his brother were not eliminated and it was a bad thing for them.
“Mr. Jaber, that’s great. We won’t be eliminated.”
When Jerome saw the three emeralds placed in front of him, he was overjoyed and turned to look at Haylan.
“We’ve only made it through the first stage. Don’t be so excited. You’ll embarrass yourself, Haylan said calmly.
Hearing that, Jerome and Jerry quickly calmed themselves down.
“Mr. Griffith, congratulations. You won’t be eliminated.”

In other words, other contestants had not finished choosing the stones.
But they had earned their qualifications to advance to the next round.
He had nothing to worry about then.
“Mr. Jaber, did you already know that the last three stones are emeralds?” Jerry asked.
Haylan nodded.
“Then why didn’t you say anything before? You gave me a fright.” Jerry patted his chest as if he had just survived a calamity.
Haylan said calmly, “Since no one is looking at us now, I’ll tell you one more thing. The three raw stones with emerald are a trap the organizers set.
“In every stall, only three stones have emerald in them.”
“No matter how well–trained the appraiser is or how carefully he chooses, only three are emeralds.
