Chapter 933
“Steve is about to be proclaimed as king and all kinds of people have appeared.”
Haylan stared at Alice and Kingston from behind. His eyes turned extremely cold as he pondered.
His extensive experiences told him that the two people were up to no good.
“Mr. Jaber, I almost had a heart attack.”
After seeing those people leave, Jerome and Jerry were relieved.
Especially Jerome, who was sitting on the ground and panting.
Just now, Haylan had staked Southern Heavenly Gate Raw Stone Market for a bet and it scared the daylight out of him.
If Haylan won, it didn’t matter.
But if he lost, their family’s business which they had run for generations would be gone.
“Actually, you don’t have to worry or be afraid. I’m unlikely to lose.
Haylan’s expression was calm as he said flatly, “Besides, even if I lose, I can compensate you with a new raw stone market.”
With his financial resources and ability, he could totally create a bigger market than Southern Heavenly Gate Raw Stone Market, allowing Jerome and Jerry to prosper and earn more money.
“Mr. Jaber, that’s different.”
Jerome sighed and said, “Southern Heavenly Gate Raw Stone Market is our family’s ancestral estate. We can’t let the efforts of the older generation be ruined in our hands.”
“That’s right, Mr. Jaber. Next time, can you not stake our Southern Heavenly Gate Raw Stone Market for a bet?” Jerry chimed in to persuade him.
Haylan’s indifferent remark made him break out in cold sweat.
After hearing the brothers‘ words, Haylan realized that he had acted recklessly. So, he said. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t make a bet like that without seeking your permission.
“Don’t worry, I promise I won’t do this again.”
He was confident in winning the bet, but Southern Heavenly Gate Raw Stone Market was the Griffith brothers‘ private asset. What he did was indeed wrong.
After all, no matter how small the pie was, it did not belong to him.
“Mr. Jaber, don’t take this the wrong way. It’s not that you can’t do this. What I mean is, can you ask for our opinion before doing this?” Jerome quickly explained.
“No problem. I’ll ask for your opinion next time. I’m sorry,” Haylan said.
Jerome and Jerry were relieved when they heard that.
Southern Heavenly Gate Raw Stone Market was very important to the Griffith brothers. They had put a great deal of effort into enlivening the market.
Furthermore, they had made a lot of sacrifices to finally scrape together enough money to pay for the registration fee for Gemstone Identification Competition.
If Haylan lost their Southern Heavenly Gate Raw Stone Market, everything they had worked hard for would be in vain.
Therefore, it was understandable that they were worried.
Haylan did not say much and continued to close his eyes to rest.
He had a strong feeling that there would be many hidden talents and formidable opponents in the Gemstone Identification Competition.
Even equipped with God’s Eye, he might not be invincible.
At the very least, the organizer had considered the fact that someone might have x–ray vision. So, they had covered the raw stones with a special lid to prevent people from prying in advance.
“Hello, Mr. Griffith.
When Haylan was resting with his eyes closed, a young man came to Jerome and complained to him, “Business is difficult. I think our raw stone market is going to lose money this time.”
The young man in front of him was Cesar Dunn. He was also a gemstone expert who had inherited his father’s business which specialized in gold, silver, and gemstones.
Due to their similar age, Jerome and Cesar clicked with each other and had a good relationship.
Cesar sighed and said, “The Jadwin Market has invited Golden Finger, Chambers Anderson; the Louz Market has treasure appraisal master, Ilickman Adams; and Nyan Gemstone Market has Stone Wizard, Huck Alexander…”
