Chapter 665 Emerald!

"Emerald! It's emerald!" Someone in the crowd screamed as they pointed upwards with excitement.

The word 'Emerald' easily caught everyone's attention.

The old man began to ground carefully on the jade. With his expert hands, he rubbed it back and forth using the scoop cutting method. And then carefully, he rubbed off the shell. He did it precisely with extra care and attention since he was afraid he would damage the emerald inside it.

Every single person present were veterans when it came to gambling stones. They were adept at distinguishing emerald from other stones.

And the man who was now working on this emerald had spent most part of his life at this underground casino!

The atmosphere at the casino became much livelier than ever.

Even the person who had made the announcement couldn't hide his excitement. All eyes were on the old man.

After what felt like ages, the man began to rub the shell outside, revealing a piece of emerald in it is natural pure color. What was more astonishing was its size! It was as big as half a man's head.

The old man, who had been working calmly, now trembled with excitement, affected by the crowd. The sight of the emerald left everyone astonished!

Even though he had worked here for as long as he could remember, no day was as exciting as today.

He felt that his hard work was finally paying off. 'I found an emerald!' he thought to himself, still trying to come to terms with this newly-found treasure.

"Thank you, thank you so much."

The old man looked at Ashley and thanked her profusely.

If Ashley hadn't come, none of this would have happened.

He owed her for encouraging him to do it. How much he would have regretted it, had she given in to his insistence that she find another cutter!

Ashley also showed the biggest smile ever on her face as she gazed at the pure emerald. "Thank you, master!"

An old man stepped forward, analyzing the newly cut emerald.

It had to be admitted that the old master was quite talented. He did a great job and there was no flaw nor friction to be seen.

"Can I take a look?" the old man requested.

The man was in his late fifties. He must be one of the regular customers here.

"O

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

shley tried to remain unperturbed. However, deep in her heart, she was overwhelmed and still reeling from the shock. What happened here was insane!

A while earlier, Ashley had read about gambling stones and learned a thing or two about it.

But reading was completely different from actually witnessing it!

The old cutting master, who stood with her, looked at the roaring crowd but didn't dare to speak.

Looking at this piece of emerald, he was suddenly reminded of his youth, when he first came here. During the start of his career, he had had the honor of cutting a lot of supreme emeralds.

However, none of it could beat the exhilaration he had felt today.

Now, Addis was also back to his senses. He had been working for Nolan for such a long time and was honored to encounter many great storms.

He couldn't help but stare at the huge piece of emerald. It was the first time that he had seen such a beauty.

Although Ashley was well informed on gambling stones, she didn't have much knowledge about the pricing.

Knowing she needed advice from an expert, she went over to Addis and asked, "Addis, what do you think about the price?"

Addis was a layman as well. He had been engaged in many big businesses with Nolan, but this wasn't something he could tell with certainty. Ten million was the amount he normally made through single businesses transactions.

Addis shook his head honestly. "I don't know either. How about we ask sir Nolan?" he suggested.
