The Pinnacle Of Life Chapter 144


    Waltz was infuriated. Even the crowd gathered up their courage to start gossiping about them upon


    Dickinson’s appearance…


    “Mr. Will kept this ore here for more than a year but no one wanted to buy it.”


    “Just look at it, it’s so dull. How could it be in the green? Anyone with any gambling experience would


    know that that’s just a useless rock. Only those who are inexperienced would think otherwise.”


    “As Princess Fleur’s brother, you’d think he’d know better. Who is this guy anyway?”


    Waltz red at Alex as she heard the insults, clearly frustrated and annoyed.


    Alex turned to Dickinson and said calmly, “If there really was a jade within this rock, what would you


    do?”


    Dickinson cackled. “If this cesspool rock does have a jade in it, I’ll eat this rock up.”


    “Okay then, you promised.”


    Suddenly, Alex remembered that Charis had said something simr before. He didn’t really hold a


    grudge against her and let her off easy… However, this guy was another case.


    “Excuse me, cut it open for me. Remember to be careful.” Alex said to the stonecutter.


    Waltz pulled on the corner of his shirt. “Why don’t we just leave?”


    She was afraid of humiliation. More importantly, Dickinson was her enemy—he worked for Frank


    ardo after all. The two had fought in the past and Waltz was defeated.


    Alex replied, “Don’t worry.”


    Dickinson smiled as he watched Waltz, as if he was looking at a clown. He didn’t even dare Alex to do


    anything if the rock were to be empty. Waltz’s humiliation was enough for him… He wasn’t even


    worried of losing.


    Only a fool would actually eat a rock.


    With loud buzzing, the rock was being cut open with a machine.


    It was extremely intriguing to watch two of the best fighters in California gambling on stones, everyone


    wanted to see if the ore really contained a jadeite. However, most of them just wanted to see Waltz’s


    brother publicly humiliated.


    Why?


    ‘You already have Princess Fleur by your side. How could it be possible for your luck to be any


    greater?’


    The stonecutter suddenly eximed. “There’s misting out!”


    “What?”


    “How could mist being out so quickly? This is the first cut, isn’t it? How would miste out from


    this side?”

    Dickinson was shocked, he rushed to the rock and bent over next to it, staring at it intently.


    Waltz was surprised as well. She turned to Alex and asked, “Are you really that lucky?”


    Alex smiled softly. “I’ve had pretty good luck my whole life.”


    The stone cutting proceeded.


    Three minutester, the stonecutter eximed again. “Oh my god! Yes, yes! We’re in the green!”


    Five minutester, he shouted out once more. “We really are in the green! This is an amazing find!”


    At this moment, everyone was appalled upon the sight of a green surfaceing out of the ore.


    Everyone didn’t expect such a dull rock to contain any jadeites.


    However, the show had just started.


    Another ten minutester, Tobias yelled, “Holy sh*t! Oh my god! This is unreal! This is… a ssy


    emerald! This is especially rare!”


    Yet another ten minutes passed and the stonecutter had cut up the ore from three different sides. A


    large emerald that was about the size of a basketball surfaced though, only a small part of the ore had


    been cut open.


    Dickinson sat on the damp ground, shocked to his core. “How… just how big is this thing?”
