Chapter 37 -37: A Game Decided by One Move

“The stakes are too low; I’m not interested.” Sean Knight tossed his words, embraced his raw jade, and turned to leave.

“I’ll raise the bet!” This time, it was White-Jack speaking.

Sean stopped and turned around.

The white youth and the woman had a smug look on their faces, believing that indeed, the Chinese were greedy!

Sean spoke:

“You can add more money, but I’ll set the conditions.”

“Go on!” The two felt they had the situation under control.

“Add fifty-thousand dollars to the stakes.” Sean said calmly, “And if I win, this woman won’t come near them…”

Sean pointed at Monica Brown and Emily Taylor and continued:

“Keep three meters away from them!”

The seductive woman bristled:

“Don’t push it too far!”

Sean replied with a mocking smile:

“You’re the ones asking me to bet, not me!”

Jack Moore’s daughter wanted to speak, but Jack stopped her.

The girl was confused, and Jack quietly pointed out the people who had gathered around and whispered:

“See? Our auction was originally uneventful without any highlights. But now we have this bet, and everyone’s excited!”

He pointed at Jack Moore and continued:

“I know this guy. Jack Moore is talented. He has picked several jadeite pieces from me, and all of them were great. Later, when we cut open the raw jade, it would be like advertising for us…”

“But they’re so bad!” The girl was full of righteous indignation, “Aren’t they setting Sean up?”

“Sean knows that too.” Jack Moore observed carefully, “Maybe Sean is also capable, so we should just watch.”

Finally, he added:

“It’s their choice.”

A typical businessman’s mindset.

Monica Brown and Emily Taylor were a little touched by Sean involving them in the bet. Instead of being disrespectful to them, he did so because he saw they didn’t like that woman.

As for that woman, Sean never asked her name from beginning to end.

The seductive cheap woman didn’t deserve a name!

“Okay!” The woman opposed, but the white guy agreed without hesitation.

The woman was unhappy and grabbed the white man’s arm:

“Jack, you can’t…”

“It’s okay, I’ll definitely win.” Jack Moore reassured the woman with a smile. Then he pointed at Monica Brown:

“I accept your conditions. But if I win, these two girls have to have dinner with me!”

Sean scoffed to himself; Birds of a feather flock together! This man and woman were indeed a match made in heaven!

He turned and walked away:

“No bet!”

Sean was not in a position to make decisions for the two girls.

Suddenly, Emily Taylor spoke:

“Bet it is! It’s just a dinner! Let’s gamble!”

After that, she asked Monica Brown while holding her arm:

“Monica, what do you think…?”

Monica Brown smiled and replied:

“Since you’ve said it, I have no objection.”

Sean was a bit surprised; he didn’t expect these two girls to support and trust him so much!

His thoughts were not just about dinner!

At a glance, Jack was up to no good!

Well, losing was not an option!

At this time, Jack Moore decided to step in, laughing and saying:

“Okay, okay, it’s just a game. Since both sides agree to bet, I’ll shamelessly be the referee. We are all friends; don’t take it too seriously…”p>

Sean looked deeply at this big and tall, yet somewhat unassuming host.

He had formed a judgement about Jack Moore: this man had a deep and cunning nature, and he couldn’t get too close!

Seeing Sean agree, Jack Moore laughed and said:

“Let’s talk about the rules…”p>

“Why bother with all that trouble?” Sean put his raw jade basket on the ground and said:

“Each person chooses a piece of raw jade; a winner takes all bet. The winner gets everything, the loser walks away!”

Judging that this was a great advertising opportunity, Jack Moore would not let them bet on just one piece. He chuckled and said:

“One piece might not be enough, too much luck involved…”

“Just one piece!” Sean Knight insisted, “Any more than that, how do we judge? One piece to determine the winner! Mr. Arnold, don’t tell me you can’t assess the value of two pieces of jadeite?”

“That won’t be a problem…” In his professional field, Mason Arnold also had his own pride and dignity.

“That works.” Sean asked Jack Moore:

“What do you think? Are you brave enough?”

“Fine.” Jack was pressured and backed into a corner, how could he back down?

Monica Brown, however, seemed to have discovered a new land, whispering to Emily Taylor:

“Emily, did you see? Sean has been holding that basket this whole time; the stones in that basket must weigh at least a few dozen kilograms, right?”

Emily tapped her on the head:

“Shouldn’t you be worrying about how we’ll manage if Sean loses right now?”

“I don’t think Sean is likely to lose! But if he loses, we’ll just go eat at Uncle Mack’s place. He didn’t say where or how we were supposed to eat anyway, right?”

“Sneaky!” Emily laughed.

After Jack finished speaking, he took out a high-powered flashlight and began carefully selecting from the raw jade area.

Almost everyone gathered around.

Mason Arnold took the opportunity to announce:

“For this bet, whichever side wins, I won’t charge for the chosen raw jade!”

Everyone immediately became a bit excited, putting themselves in their shoes.

Some people even regretted not making a bet beforehand.

Seeing Jack’s serious and professional movements, and Sean not doing much near his basket, some people had already concluded that Jack would win.

Some even secretly placed bets with odds!

Emily ran over and quietly told Monica Brown:

“They’re too much! Sean’s odds are 1 to 3, while Jack’s odds are 1 to 1.1!”

“Is anyone betting on Sean?”

“One person, but just 500 dollars. Most of them bet on Jack to win.”

Sean’s hearing was much better than before, and he quietly asked Emily:

“How’s the credibility of the bookmaker?”

“It’s okay, he’s frequently involved in this kind of thing in the Chinese circle, and almost no one speaks ill of him.”

“Then help me place a bet, 100,000 dollars, I’ll win!”

Emily was startled:

“Are you going so big? Are you sure you can win?”

“Of course!” Sean had this confidence.

“But their maximum limit is 10,000 dollars.”

“Alright, then bet 10,000.” Sean gave Emily 10,000 dollars.

“Help me bet 10,000 too!” Monica Brown bit her lip.

This time, Emily was truly astonished:

“Monica! Are you sick or something? You never gamble!”

“Making an exception!” Monica Brown glanced at Jack and the other woman, “They’re too annoying!”

Okay, you’re rich!

Emily took the money from both of them and went to bet.

She didn’t tell them, but she also bet 10,000 dollars herself.

Suddenly there were three bets on Sean to win, and the bookmaker was a bit surprised too.

However, when he saw it was Sean’s group, the bookmaker was happy. Originally planning to adjust the odds, he didn’t change them and instead started promoting the bet.

Jack took his time picking a white sandy skin rough gemstone weighing around eleven to twelve kilograms and placed it on the table Mason Arnold had already prepared.

Sean, on the other hand, took out his black abrazine piece weighing eight to nine kilograms and placed it on the table as well.

Mason Arnold asked both:

“Are you both sure?”

Sean slapped his piece and then curiously picked up Jack’s chosen piece, looked at it curiously, and said while examining:

“I can’t really see anything… Is this the one?”

“Put it down now!” The woman couldn’t help but scold Sean.

Sean laughed, put down the raw jade and said to the woman:

“What’s wrong? You won’t even let me look? Fine, I won’t look then. So you guys can’t blame me when you lose later!”

Jack was quite magnanimous:

“It’s fine, take a look.”

Sean waved his hand:

“No need, let’s pay up!”
