Chapter 32 Twists and Turns
Sherlock Baker and Magician Bill stood up and began to tout the rough stone again.
"The color of the outermostyer of it is exactly the same as an ordinary gem, and it is so small. It must
be of the top ss!"
However, the two rough stones from before all turned out to be waste. Everyone was disappointed, no
longer believing in them.
After the two praised the rough stone, Ruben suddenly stood up and said with a sneer: "I don''t agree
with your words. Things will develop in the opposite direction when they be extreme. The color of
the outside of this rough stone is very good, and there is a great chance that what''s inside would be a
disappointment."
"I''m not optimistic about this rough stone. five million is twice as high as the gem exposed outside. In
my heart, I can only give it to three million at most, but since the price is set at five million, I''ll only pay
the five million!"
After saying that, he sat in his seat, took out his mobile phone, and began to look at it. It seemed that
he was not interested in this rough stone at all.
Everyone began to feel nervous.
"I think what he said is right. Everything will reverse when it reaches the extreme. Since the color of the
outside of this rough stone is so good, it is very likely that it will be terrible inside!"
"That''s right. The quality of the two rough stones before didn''t look bad, but the things inside turned out
to be trash. Since this one was dug out in the same time with them, I think if you buy it at a high price,
you will probably lose money!"
"Five million is not a small amount!" Some people who wanted to give it a shot were scared by the
starting price.
Sherlock and Bill quietly looked at everyone and found that no one had intention of bidding. It seemed
that the words of Ruben were deeply engraved in their hearts.
In fact, even Sherlock and Magician Bill themselves were deeply convinced by the words of Ruben.
After all, the first two rough stones were the example.
Neither of them dared to bid rashly now.
Joseph asked, "Mr. Morrison, what should we do now?"
Tobias frowned. He couldn''t figure out the thought of Ruben. After all, Tobias didn''t know whether if he
was really bidding, or was to make them raise the price.
The most important thing was that whether this rough stone was a disappointment inside like what
Ruben said? When things reached the extreme, they would reverse. Could there be nothing precious
inside?
Seeing that Tobias had no idea, Joseph looked at Gavin and asked, "Gavin, what do you think?"
Gavin thought for a while and said, "I think what Rubuffoon said makes sense. The first two of the
same batch of stones are bad. There''s no reason for this one to be good!"
In fact, Joseph was more inclined to Gavin''s opinion, but this was hisst chance to turn the tables. He
didn''t want to miss it.
Tobias suddenly said, "Give up. The base price is too high. Unless it is the best Imperial Green
Emerald, or you will definitely lose."
Even if Joseph wanted to risk it, the chances of sess were too small.
"Well, let''s give it to them!" Joseph looked helpless.
"This gentleman offers ten million dors. Is there anyone else who wants to bid?" The host shouted on
the stage.
The base price of 5 million and an increase of at least five hundred thousand per bid, coupled with what
Ruben had just said, all of these had damped down everyone''s desire to bid.
"5 million for the first time, 5 million dors for the second time, and 5 million dors for the third time.
This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.
Congrattions, sir, for getting the third rough stone. Would you like to cut it on the spot or do itter?"
Asked the host.
Rubenughed heartily. "Of course cutting it on the spot. I''m not gonna miss the face of someone
getting jealous!"
Well... What did that mean?
Everyone looked at Ruben in surprise and suddenly realized something.
"Cut it open, but be careful!" Ruben exined mysteriously.
Tobias suddenly stood up and said with a lived face, "Oh no, we were fooled!"
"What do you mean?" Joseph and Gavin were confused. They didn''t participate in the bidding. How
could they be fooled?
Tobias looked at Joseph coldly. "He said that on purpose. In fact, he wants to get this rough stone at a
low price."
"What!" The two of them instantly understood. "You''re saying that Ruben has tricked on us since the
very beginning. In fact, he''s determined to obtain this rough stone"
"Yes. We were all deceived by him!" Tobias mmed his fist into the chair next to him.
However, Gavin disagreed. He said doubtfully, "Mr. Morrison, I don''t think so. Even if he has the stone,
he won''t necessarily get a top-ss gem from it! If he failed, he''ll also lose money!"
Tobias frowned. He thought intuitively that they had been fooled by Ruben.
However, Gavin was right. Even if Ruben was determined to get this rough stone, he wouldn''t know
whether there was really a valuable gem inside, unless he had an expert to guide him to make sure
that this rough stone was actually worth it.
As was the only one with him. It was impossible that As was that expert.
Seeing Tobias'' anxiety, Viviana persuaded him gently, "Since you can''t figure it out, then don''t think
about it anymore. It''s toote to regret it anyway. After it is cut, you''ll know the answer."
Tobias slowly rxed. He looked at Viviana gratefully and said softly, "Thank you for reminding me,
Viviana!"
"You just can''t see it clearly because you''re involved in this. But I''m an onlooker. You don''t have to
thank me. Even if I didn''t remind you, you''ll understand itter!" Viviana said with a smile.
"Green, it''s green! The value is up, it''s up!"
Suddenly, someone cried out in surprise.
Joseph and the others hurriedly looked at the stage and found that with the polishing, the rough stone
showed a thicker green color. ording to what they saw right now, the stone has exceeded 5 million.
"Damn, we were deceived by Ruben Kimmerly!" Joseph was so angry that he pounded on the table
and red at the proud Ruben.
Tobiasforted him and said, "Don''t worry. No one can guess what the result will be until thest
moment. Have you forgotten that your first rough stone also looked good at first before going bad?"
"Yes, it might down soon!" Joseph cursed.
Ruben looked at Joseph and his friends arrogantly and said in an extremely annoying tone, "See?
Have you been convinced!"
"Rubuffoon Kimmerly, don''t becent too early. It hasn''te out yet." Joseph shouted coldly.
"The result? It''s obvious. It''s up, up, up!" Ruben raised his arms and shouted like a hooligan. Joseph,
Tobias, and the others were so furious that they really wanted to fight with him.
"It turns bad, it turns bad, just like the first two pieces!"
Gavin, who had been paying attention to the professional who was polishing the stone, suddenly
shouted excitedly.
"It turns bad? Really?" Joseph immediately turned to look at the stage.
Sure enough, the original green color was fading, just like the situation he encountered.
"Rubuffooon, you must be very disappointed, aren''t you? It''s over!" Josephughed heartily. It was a
hundred times happier to see Ruben being disappointed than to get a top-ss stone.
The key was to work off his anger! He could take the opportunity to strike down the arrogance of
Ruben.
"Mr. Morrison, you''re right. No one knows the result until thest moment!" Joseph was so ecstatic and
he felt much better then.
Ruben was a little confused. He hurriedly turned to As and whispered, "How could this be? Did you
make a mistake this time?"
