Harvey York’s Rise to Power

Chapter 5300
Simultaneously with Kora's movement, several men in black jumped down from the balcony before pushing through the crowd to reach the stones.
The stones vary in size. Some look smooth and plump, while others are simply misshapen.
The men in black did not waste any time. After paying for the stones, they immediately told the craftsmen to start working.
"Gemstone! Gemstone! Gemstone!"
The crowd was overjoyed when they saw the scene.
The women screamed in excitement, as if they had never seen money before in their entire lives.
The place really heated up in an instant.
“The same thing happened twice before, but no one noticed,” Arlet whispered.
“But the second time, everyone's attention was completely focused on him.
"This time…"
Arlet shook his head with a hint of helplessness showing between his furrowed brows.
The Pagans had no choice but to remain passive because Kora had already made his move.

Their reputation would be completely destroyed if the family did not act at all.
And in business, loss of reputation means a fate worse than bankruptcy.
They could recover if only from bankruptcy, but a loss of reputation means a loss of credibility, making it difficult for them to work in this business again.
Pfft!
The blacksmiths started their work without delay.
The crowd showed eager gazes when the first cut was made.
Crack!
The smallest stone split into two with a smooth surface inside. An impression of transparency can be seen, resembling ice cubes.
“Another storm type gem! Impossible!" someone exclaimed excitedly.
Before his voice had completely disappeared, the second and third stones also split apart.
The rest followed.
When the last stone, which was the size of a brain, was split open, the crowd cheered again.
The twelve stones reveal the gems within!
"This is crazy! This is not possible!"
“Miss Kora is truly legendary!”
“Everything he showed was a tempest type gem!”
“It seems like the rest of this group is also useless!”
Many customers feel sorry for Arlet.
Kora constantly insults Arlet without any chance for her to retaliate!
"Enough! The game is over!
After remaining silent for a long time, Kora spoke softly. His words carried a sense of magic, suppressing the entire crowd while forcing them to hear his every word.
“There are no other gems in this bunch!
“The rest is useless!”
