"Hehe. It's 19 kilograms but you only collect the money for 15 kilograms. You truly are a kind person!"
After listening to the exchange, Tanya leered, smiling coldly. "This is just an ordinary rock, so of course you're kind enough to give a discount! If you really think this is a top-grade rock, will you still be this kind?"
"That's right! You’re scamming a rock newbie! You're nasty!" Yvonne echoed before turning her head to look at Fane.
"Let me help you, Fane. The piece that you picked is nothing but a plain large stone! It's just an ordinary stone, from the roadside."
"Stop interfering!" the Young Master Wilson quickly interjected them. "Yvonne, don't break the rules. This time, it’s me playing against Fane, not me against you! Since you're not involved in this, you shouldn't interfere further! If you insist on doing so, let's call this bet off!"
"He's right. Outsiders shouldn't interfere!"
"I agree! The one who bet with Young Master Wilson should do the picking!"
The bystanders spoke up one by one as they commented on the bet.
Yvonne’s pallor was unsightly, but she could not fight back anymore. After all, if she helped, she would be breaking the rules.
"What do you mean by hullying a newbie'? Miss Yvonne, I know you're a member of the Drake family, but please be reasonable! This is a gambling rock, and its content can't be predicted before it's cut open. You can't see through this rock, but what if this young man picks the right one?"
The woman was sullen at her choice of words, but she then turned to Fane with a grin on her face. "Young man, do you still want it? I’ve given you a fair discount!"
"Of course! It's 9,000 bucks cheaper! Why would I not want it?"
Michael's eyes wandered around the stall, and not long after, he spoke, "There are no more big rocks like this from your stall. Besides, even if I’ve picked a smaller one with just a tiny bit of gem, it’ll be enough for me to win the bet!"
Once the last word of Michael's dropped, he pointed at a piece of gambling rock and said, "This one is not bad. The part exposed from the surface has good color as well. Hmmm. I think it may be a good one! Alright, I will pick this!"
Yvonne’s heart sank deeper when Michael had chosen a piece that she would choose. Sigh. This time, Fane would lose for sure.
Before that, Yvonne had been observing both men all the while, and she had a feeling the gambling rock that Michael had chosen was pretty good. She initially planned to make Fane pick it, but it eventually fell into Michael's hand.
What made her feel even more miserable to the point she almost vomited blood was what Fane commented later on. "This rock is pretty good! Most of it is jade, and icy jadeite at that! You'll rake in a pretty sum after this. Such a lucky guy!" Fane praised Michael after taking a look at the piece in his hand.
Although Michael thought that Fane was a gambling rock rookie, he could not help but feel proud and content at Fane's praises. "Oh, really? Haha! Then you can just admit defeat. If half of my rock contains icy jadeite, I guess it’s worth at least a few million! Now you can go ahead and learn how to bark like a dog!"

I hope that by the end of the year fane will leave the whirling world and go to a new place...
This novel become with much unnecessary speech a lot of trash talk with a few of fight and advanced events even a fight with beast will take more then 10 chapters to be ended and many other important events will cost even more then then 20 chapters to end . U can remove the long unnecessary speech or u can post 20 chapters or more per day,if this not possible i will stop reading this novel,i don't have any other option because i'm not enjoying it...
It became a little boring,the events advanced slowly that 10 chapters become not enough to enjoy the events and there's a lot of unnecessary speech...
