Chapter 934

“Has it started?”

Haylan stood up and stretched his body.

“Yes, it’s started. Mr. Jaber, we don’t have much time. Let’s hurry up and select the stones.” Jerome nodded and looked at Haylan with anticipation and nervousness.

Time was running out.

They had to choose 10 raw stones within ten minutes.

That meant they had very little time and on average, they had to choose a piece of raw stone in one minute.

That little bit of time was not enough for some people to look at all the stones.

Jerome and Jerry thus lost no time and immediately arranged the 100 raw stones into ten rows for Haylan to examine.

Haylan’s expression was calm and unhurried. He glanced at those raw stones and directly pointed ten stones out.

“Mr. Jaber, are you sure? Y–you’re not going to give them a second look?” Jerome asked.

There were so many stones and it would take a long time just to check at all of them. However, Haylan only cast a glance at them before selecting the 10 stones.

It was a little hasty.

“This is just an appetizer. If we need to examine them, how are we going to move to the next rounds and progress to the finals?” Haylan said calmly.

“Jerome, trust Mr. Jaber.”

Jerry took out a colored pen and picked up the 10 pieces of raw stones that Haylan had pointed out. Afterward, he placed them on the table and marked them with the pen.

Jerome felt a little ill at ease, but he did not say anything. Instead, he raised his hand at once and pressed the stop button

on the stall.

The emcee immediately received the message and said, “Number 088 Southern Heavenly Gate Raw Stone Market has finished selecting the stones.

“Staff, please take the machine and proceed to the stall.”

Hearing the announcement, many people immediately looked over.

“They’ve picked out the stones so quickly?”

“Southern Heavenly Gate Raw Stone Market? I’ve never heard of it. Is it very famous?”

“Perhaps it’s very famous in Lightdom City, but it is insignificant if compared to other markets in the country.”

“Well, they’ve chosen the stones in less than one minute. Obviously, it’s a random selection.”

“We’ll know after the staff cut the stones. They’ve selected the stones so fast. It’s very likely that they’ll be eliminated very quickly.”

Everyone discussed animatedly as they looked at Haylan and the Griffith brothers with disdain.

Haylan had made the choice way too fast. Practically, he had selected the 10 stones as soon as the emcee had finished speaking.

It was so fast that people found it hard to believe.

The bosses of the gem business had scornful looks on their faces, Many staff also threw Haylan and the Grillith brothers a dismissive glance,

And the crowd was taking pleasure in this and wanted to see Haylan make a fool of himself.

Apart from them, the emcee and the big shots from the organizer also fixed their gaze on Haylan.

Soon, the staff walked over with a polishing machine.

There was also a photographer in charge of recording the process.

It was an important competition. To prevent cheating, there would be photographers taking photos at the side.

It was to make sure that no staff members world tod

“Mr. Griffith, are you sure about your choices? You can change them now if you want to. Otherwise, you can’t renege on this after we polish them,” said the polisher.

Jerome turned around and looked at Haylan with a consulting gaze.

Haylan nodded.

Only then did Jerome set his mind at ease. He said to the polisher, “Southern Heavenly Gate Raw Stone Market has made our choice. Sir, you may polish the stones.

One should have confidence in the person they hired.

Since he had appointed Haylan as the appraiser of Southern Heavenly Gate Raw Stone Market, he had to believe in Haylan’s judgment.

The polisher sighed. Without another word, he picked up the stone that had been marked No. 1 and began polishing it. Soon, the first piece of raw stone was polished and there was no emerald.

“I thought they were confident that all the stones would be emeralds since they made their decision so quickly. It turns out that they are so wrong.

When Haylan had finished choosing the stones, many people were shocked by the speed.
