131 Finale
The value of jade couldn’t be measured by just one color. It was only valuable when the quality of the water contained was good.
Due to time constraints, Martin and the others could only choose the red Obsidian, which had old enough water contained.
To a certain extent, stone gambling was even more dependent on luck than gambling in casinos. One could cheat in the casinos, but it was completely impossible to tell when gambling on stones. It was just blind guessing.
It was just that everyone had summed up their experience through thousands of years of constant exploration. Most of the raw stones were consistent with their experience, but there were always some abnormal situations.
The expert looked at the anxious Martin and could only comfort him, “At least mauve is at the bottom. Ours is still okay. As long as it’s above the ice-type, we won’t be last.”
Martin calmed down a little when he heard this and comforted himself, “That’s right. There’s still mauve jade! I didn’t expect them to send two ruthless characters to help him choose when he came out to see the scene.”
Vivian looked at Martin and the people around him whispering to each other and smiled faintly. “Mr. Martin, it’s time for your finale.”
The word “finale” was thrown at Martin’s face like a joke.
He’s already got glaze-type green, so there’s no way he can surpass Jack. Martin glared at Vivian and turned to ask the bodyguard to bring the raw stone over.
The horn grinder was buzzing. Everyone was extremely curious about the final battle, and the crowd gathered in circles.
Martin felt that the sound was like a bug scratching his heart. He looked at the knife of the machine nervously.
“Swish”
The raw stone was cut in half and fell into the cutting knife and the iron bucket below it. Martin immediately rushed forward!
The ice-type orange jade. Unfortunately, it had two large cross-shaped cracks and several small cracks. It could only be said to be more powerful than the Emperor Crack, but its value had been greatly reduced. It was not even as valuable as the mauve jade that he looked down on.
Cold sweat broke out on Martin’s forehead as he thought of the items that were worth millions at the auction in the afternoon. He looked at the two raw stones in front of him and pointed at Vivian and Jack, saying firmly, “You two are cheating!”
Martin looked at the crowd and shouted, “They must have cheated! Look at the raw stones on the field. Everyone had already picked two-thirds of them in the morning. How could they still open two at the same time? Vivian! You were the one who said that on purpose. You set a trap to harm me!”
This man had once again refreshed Vivian’s perception of shamelessness.
Vivian sneered. “If you can’t afford to lose, then you can’t afford to lose. No need to find an excuse! You’re the one who brought it up first, right? I did say to add a wager, but you were the one who said what the wager was, right? Jack told you on the spot that this request was unreasonable. How did you answer? You said to bet big and even mocked Jack for not being a man and not having the guts.”
Vivian continued sarcastically, “At the end of the day, didn’t you say that you could win? That’s why you said that. If you win, the wager will count. If you lose, it’ll be us cheating and that we’re setting up a trap, right? Do all the good things in this world have to revolve around you?”
Vivian quickly revealed the situation, and everyone looked at Martin with disdain.
“I was at the table where they were having their meal at that time. She didn’t leave out a single word the entire time. I can testify that this lady is telling the truth!”
“Martin, it’s not our first day in this industry. Can we cheat in stone gambling?”
“Yes, right! What X-ray? Someone had already tested it. There was no way to use any equipment to see through it! Instead of finding excuses to mock others, it’s better to admit defeat so that the other side will let you go. This way, everyone will look up to you a little.”
Martin really didn’t want to admit this. If he admitted that he couldn’t afford it, then the reputation of his family’s jewelry shop would definitely be affected. He hadn’t even warmed up to the position of the head of the family, and those old fogeys had even more reasons to help his younger brother get to the top!
He was in a dilemma, so Martin could only throw the problem to the other party. As long as the matter couldn’t be explained clearly, he could make a big deal out of it, and many people would believe him.
