129 A Few People Asking About It

Mathew put down the fork in his hand and stood up with his hands in his pockets. He looked at everyone and said, “Let’s start.”

Martin revealed a malicious smile. “After the raw stone is opened, the person with the least value will lose. The prize is to pay all the expenses of the raw stone won in the afternoon auction on behalf of the winner.”

Martin had a very good idea. After all, Jack had played more than ten times in this place. No matter how bad he was, he would not be at the bottom. It would be fine if either Matthew or Vivian were at the bottom.

If Vivian were last, he would first test Matthew’s attitude towards her. If it didn’t matter, he would let Vivian choose between sleeping with him or paying the bill.

!!

If Mathew ended up in last place, or if Mathew showed his possessiveness to Vivian, he would not mention the bet again. This way, he could also do Mathew a favor at no cost. No matter what the outcome was, he would win!

Jack frowned when he heard Martin’s words. “Martin, there are so many items to be auctioned this afternoon. If the winner gets all of them, not many people in the country can afford them! Your request is too unreasonable.”

“Jack, if you want to bet, then bet big,” Martin retorted. “Do you have the guts? Are you still a man?”

This time, without waiting for Jack to speak, Vivian interjected, “It’s okay. Since Mr. Martin likes excitement, we can accompany you to the end.”

“The auction starts at two o’clock. It’s almost one o’clock now, so it’ll take some time to open the raw stone. We won’t choose too many, but only one piece per person within half an hour. We’ll decide the winner with one piece!”

Martin showed a proud look and looked down on Vivian even more. He believed she was useless and couldn’t stand being goaded. “Great! Jack, don’t hesitate. Hurry up!”

“It’s one past five now. Gather at the cutting machine at one thirty five! After that, Martin took his expert and ran to choose.

Jack looked at Vivian and Matthew. “Then let’s hurry up.”

The group walked out of the venue. Vivian remembered that she had deliberately missed a raw stone just now. Now that the bet was so big, she had to return and find it.

Moreover, there were more excellent goods at that stall. It just so happened that Matthew and Jack had a higher chance of finding good things there. However, the location of that stall was not good. It was in an inconspicuous corner and was especially at the back, so there were fewer people going.

“Jack, let’s go there to pick. I think the goods there are not bad.”

Vivian had brought Jack to the stall after a quick walk in the morning. It was not easy to pick good stones. Vivian had a simple understanding of the market, so she dared to say that it was a bonus deliberately.

And after this morning, the good stuff that could be seen at a glance had already been picked.

Vivian also deliberately said she would be able to find a stall within half an hour. There were few stalls that could be found in a short time. Most of them were from the stalls she had already picked in the morning, and the stall she had found that was rarely visited was her best bargaining chip.

Thinking of the quality, Jack agreed. “Indeed, I bought the most from his stall.”

When the stall owners went to the market to get the goods, they usually got the same batch at the same time, which meant that the quality was similar.

Mathew did not understand this, so he just followed the two.

The stall owner saw that his biggest group of customers had returned. He stood up and greeted them with a smile, “I still have a lot of good stuff here. You guys can continue to pick. You’ll definitely be able to pick something better!”

“Boss,” Vivian asked curiously, “Did you pick all of these yourself?”

The stall owner smiled without modesty. “That’s right. I personally picked each piece. I have a unique vision. It’s up to you to choose.”

Vivian smiled, picked up the piece that she had missed, and looked at it again. Jack was still hesitating about the few pieces that he had been hesitating about in the morning. This time, Mathew decided to pick a few and try them himself.

Vivian touched around and found that the hottest piece was actually the one jack was struggling with.

On the other hand, Mathew placed seven to eight raw gemstones in front of him. Seeing that Jack was in a dilemma, he turned to look at Vivian.

This morning, he found that Vivian made a decision very quickly and firmly after she picked up the raw stone as if she knew there would be good stuff in it. There were more than a hundred raw stones, and she did not hesitate at all. Once she made a decision, she immediately put it aside. No man was as decisive as her.
