Chapter 26 A Bet on Tia’s Marriage

Is that so I heard that those who got released from prison would forever be bad luck. Thus, how are you brave enough to gamble here?” Queenie mocked him. After all, she still held a grudge against Tia since the latter had disrespected her the last time.

When a heard her words, she deliberately linked her arms around William’s. “Honey, is your ex- girlfriend still into you? She is hideous. Please don’t get back together with her,” she whispered, making William’s heart race while Queenie was furious.

“You I would never fall in love with someone as worthless as him

“Are you blind? How dare you say he is worthless? I’ll have you know that he is an expert in stone gambling. Every stone he chooses will be a jackpot. Tia showed off without holding back.

Jackpot! Are you kidding?” Queenie smiled mockingly. “Talk is cheap.”

Hearing her words, Tia turned her head and looked at William. “Honey, why don’t you pick a stone and show them?

William got into character rather quickly. “Sure!” Then, he activated his third eye once again.

Coincidentally, he spotted a raw stone that cost 18,000 and weighed 44 lbs after scanning a few stones. Inside the stone, he saw a bright green piece that was around 2 lbs. Such stones would cost about 45,000 for 0.1 lbs. So, he would earn about 13 million if the stone had 11 lbs.

This is it! William’s heart thumped wildly.

Then, he pointed at the ore and paid immediately as the staff was keeping the ore in the box.

Seeing that William was quick to choose a stone, Tanner couldn’t help but shake his head. “Don’t gamble if you don’t know how to, William. You will lose all your money. As he spoke, he started to scan the stones. too. In the end, he chose a black nephrite jade that weighed more than 22 lbs. Tanner felt that he would win since the raw stone looked perfect. “This is called a black nephrite jade. Although it is not a common. stone, there was a high chance it would be worth it.”

Hearing his words, William couldn’t help but scan it. He saw only a streak of imperial jade, and the others were a grayish green. However, he said nothing and looked at the stone cutter, “Please help me cut it.”

“Let us go first!” snapped Queenie as she immediately took the black nephrite jade.

William didn’t say anything and stood aside. After the stonecutter had taken over Queenie’s ore piece, he cut a small opening using a grinder. As the ear–piercing sound echoed, a light green color appeared, Then, he immediately gave it to Tanner. The crowd gradually surrounded them. When they saw the color, someone said, “It’s moss green. He lost!”

“Alas! Such a color is only worth a thousand. That man must have lost 25,000,”

As Tanner heard their words, he frowned and didn’t believe it. He told the stonecutter to cut the other end. However, it was still moss green! As the crowd sighed, Tanner had a grim expression. After all, as a stingy person, he couldn’t accept the fact that he had lost over two million.

“No matter what, we must still cut it open to know the result. Sir, you can begin.” William smiled faintly. As he spoke, he drew a line on the stone, indicating that the stonecutter could cut it in half rather than a small opening.

The stonecutter said nothing and started to grind the stone. After some time, half of the stone was cut off, and a bright green appeared in the middle.
