132 Egoism (1)

Martin continued to shout, “The three of them got such good goods! How could that be possible? I think they’re secretly taking back the ones they chose in the morning! It’s not fair. I’m not convinced! Everyone saw it with their own eyes. The one I chose was under the existing conditions.”

“Yeah, I really didn’t pay attention to where Jack and the others chose them from.”

“I didn’t see them either. They even came a few minutes earlier. It does sound like they were prepared.”

Jack was furious. Martin was the one who started the trouble, but they were the ones being blamed instead!

“Martin, stone gambling is all about luck. There’s only one-third of the goods left. Are we really that unlucky to meet them? Who can guarantee that you can’t find better goods on the field now?” Jack said loudly.

As long as the raw stone was not cut open, no one would know what was inside. Everyone kept silent when they heard this.

Vivian took a few steps forward and said loudly, “The stall we’re going to is in the corner. There are still many raw stones left over there. If you want to take a look, we can take you there. Actually, I don’t want to talk about this. Just like Jack said, stone gambling itself is related to luck. Maybe later, Martin will say that the stall owner colluded with us. Any excuse will serve a tyrant1.”

Vivian had deliberately said these words to block Martin’s way out directly. Anything that could prove that they did not set up a trap to harm Martin would be overturned by him, so it would be useless no matter how much evidence he had.

After Vivian pointed it out, everyone had their own judgment in their hearts.

At this time, Martin already had no way to back down. He could only go to the place to see if there were any loopholes he could take advantage of and then make a plan.

The bearded tattooed man was leaning against the wall and basking in the sun. Because everyone had gone to watch the show, there was no one at the other stalls, and there was no one at his stall either.

He squinted his eyes and hummed a song. Suddenly, he saw the few people who were buying raw stones from him walk toward him. There was a large group of people behind them. He was so scared that he stood up.

“Don’t be rash! There’s always winning and losing in stone gambling. Those raw stones were picked by you guys just now, so you can’t blame me id you didn’t get a good one! Don’t think that you can break the rules of this circle just because you have more people.”

“Boss, I’m not asking for a refund,” Vivian replied loudly with a smile. “They just want to see where I bought the goods.”

The tattooed man, who was setting up a stall here for the first time, heaved a sigh of relief. He seized the opportunity to promote his own raw stones. It was rare for him to see so many customers at once. “You scared me to death. I told you that I’m good! Then you can take a look again. If there’s anything you like, I’ll give you a discount. Returning customers are also considered old customers! Please take a look. I’ve carefully selected these.”

The other party’s reaction and the natural conversation between the two sides made the onlookers believe that they had just taken the raw stone and begun to study it.

“The goods here are indeed not bad!”

“I think so too. I think there’s a high chance that there’ll be green jade in this area. Even if there’s no green, the quality of the glaze-type won’t be too bad!”

“There are indeed more goods left here than other stalls. It’s just that the location is not good. I think most people will pass it with a glance.”

“It seems that the truth of the matter is clear. They were just lucky to find a good stall. Martin, you’re a big man, so you should be more forthright and accept your loss.”

“Martin, you either admit defeat or go back on your word. Don’t dawdle and just choose one.”

“Choose one!”

Everyone was rummaging through the stalls for raw stones that they thought would be of good quality.

When Martin arrived, he was the first one to rush over to take a look. The more he looked, the more disappointed he became. He was upset that he didn’t come here today!

Seeing this scene, he knew that whatever he said was useless. No matter how he argued, Vivian could easily refute him. He could only find ways to reduce the loss.

Martin knew that he had to protect the reputation of the jewelry shop, otherwise, he might not be the head of the family when he returned to Sage City tomorrow.

Martin looked at Jack, who was glaring at him and stepped forward with a fawning smile. “Jack, for the sake of our many years of knowing each other, can we just auction a few items this afternoon?”

Jack sneered. “You also know that we’ve known each other for many years. Why didn’t you think of our friendship when you framed us before?”

Vivian crossed her arms in front of her chest and said nonchalantly, “You’re such a delicate egoist. When you need helps, you’ll talk about friendship. When they are useless, you don’t even care about old feelings. You’re even willing to hit a person for your own benefit when they’re down.”
