My Beloved Has Risen from Death’s Embrace

Chapter 11

Tyson lunged forward with palpable excitement. He had been obsessed with gemstone gambling for years but had never seen such a top-tier violet gemstone-it was breathtakingly beautiful, almost maddeningly so.

“Is this a violet gem with green swirls?”

“Exactly!” The experts, all seeing this type of gemstone for the first time, couldn’t contain their excitement. “Moreover, this violet gem with green swirls weighs 7 kilograms. Given the price of $3 million per kilogram and its rarity, its market value is conservatively estimated at $100 million!”

“My God, $100 million!”

The banquet hall erupted into chaos once again, and everyone’s eyes were filled with an incredible, envious frenzy.

“Crestwood has never seen such an expensive violet gem come from a rough stone! Today, we’ve witnessed a miracle!”

“True gems are priceless, and this proves it.”

“Violet has always been a color symbolizing royalty and fortune since ancient times. $100 million is just its price tag; its rarity and prestige are beyond monetary value!”

As the crowd buzzed with loud discussions, their gaze shifted unanimously back to Xanthea-now filled with respect and admiration, a stark contrast to their earlier scorn and mockery.

Who would have thought that such a young woman could unearth a rare gem from such an ordinary-looking stone? How did she do it?

Ethan and Samuel were also stunned. Was Xanthea just casually making $100 million?

“Ms. Nightshade, could you please sell this gemstone to me? Name your price-any price will do!”
