Chapter 936


    In the beginning, Han had scanned all the raw stones in all the stalls. Hence, he knew that emerald


    could only be found in three raw stones in every stall.


    The fact that they were distributed so evenly meant that everything was a trap set by the organizer.


    There was only one goal to confuse the public and test who had the true ability.


    “Eh? Each stall only has three stones that contain emerald?”


    “Well, isn’t this too…


    When Jerome and Jerry heard that, they gawked at Han in disbelief and admired him more.


    With just a nce, Han knew everything about all the raw stones in every stall.


    His eyes were so powerful.


    “It isn’t a big deal. This is apetition after all. If the organizer doesn’ty a trap, how are they going


    to test the contestants‘ abilities?” Han said calmly.


    He picked up the three raw stones and looked at them carefully. But his eyes were filled with


    disappointment. He threw them to Jerome and said, “These three raw stones are not of top grade. I


    don’t want them. They’re yours.”


    With that, he closed his eyes to rest, not caring about anything else.


    Jerome looked at the three emeralds in his hands, then at Han. In the end, he said to Jerry in a low


    voice, “Mr. Jaber is really a remarkable expert.


    When the polisher was polishing the stones, he was so nervous that he broke out in cold sweat. His


    heart was racing and he was on edge, worrying that he would be kicked out in the first round.


    On the other hand, Han had always been calm and confident. It was obvious that he had seen


    through the organizer’s scheme. That was why he was so chilled.


    Not only had Han discovered something amiss in their stall, but he had also detected the ins and


    outs of the raw stones in other stalls.


    His appraisal skills were truly amazing.


    “If Mr. Jaber wasn’t a remarkable expert, I wouldn’t have invited him,” Jerry said proudly.


    “Alright, the others had to carry on with theirpetition. Let’s just wait quietly,” Jerome said cidly.


    In fact, he was over the moon.


    As long as they could advance to the next round, his registration fee would not go down the drain.


    So, he also closed his eyes to rest as Han did.


    At the same time, the emcee said loudly, “Ten minutes are up. Please stop.”


    “Polishers, staff, and cameramen, please go to the stalls and do the necessary.”


    Following his speech, the staff members went to different stalls to polish the stones.


    As the machines were running, the stones were worn down bit by bit.


    “The first one is a raw stone, not an emerald.”


    “There’s a tint of green. Stall No. 68 has an emerald”


    “There’s no emerald here.”


    Some stones were emeralds while some weren’t.


    Thirty minutester, almost all the raw stones selected by the stalls were polished.


    ording to the records, out of the over 100 appraisers in the first round, 38 were eliminated.


    “What’s going on? Why did everyone only get three gems?”


    “There’s something fishy about this. It’s not urate!”


    “Shit, had I known it earlier, I would have chosen ten stones randomly as Han did. I examined the


    stones for so long and only found emerald in two stones. What a bummer!”


    Some of the contestants were overjoyed, while some were dejected.


    10:40


    The bosses who had sessfully identified three emeralds allughed in joy and kept praising the


    appraisers they hired.


    On the other hand, the bosses who were eliminated looked glum. They red at the appraisers beside


    them and berated them harshly.


    Those appraisers who had failed hung their heads in shame and did not dare to talk back to their


    bosses. They could only take it as their bossesshed out at them.


    “Alright, we have the list of contestants that will be moving to the next round. As for the eliminated


    contestants, please leave the venue, the emcee said loudly.


    After the emcee spoke, the staff asked the eliminated bosses and appraisers to leave.


    In an instant, the venue looked more spacious with lesser people in there.


    Some contestantsined and refused to leave.


    In the end, they were dragged away and thrown out of the venue by a group of fully armed soldiers.


    “Might makes right” It was especially true at that moment.


    “Soldiers?” Han opened his eyes and frowned as he looked at the warriors.

    It seemed that the organizer of thepetition was really the military department of Lightdom City


    Many of the weapons those soldiers carried were taken from the military department’s arms depot. He


    had seen some of them in Dragon Team’s arsenal.


    It could be inferred that the organizer was not just Lightdom Military Department. Dragon Team might


    have a part in that.


    The emcee nced at those who had not been eliminated and smiled. “Congrattions, contestants.


    You stayed and are eligible to enter the second round of thepetition.”


    “Staff, please give out the numbers to the appraisers who stay.


    “Appraisers, after receiving the number, please move to the red area of the second zone and find your


    stall.


    “The rules for the second round are the same as the first round. Select ten raw stones, among which,


    at least three must have emerald in them.


    “If you can’t identify three emeralds, you’ll be eliminated.


    “Please take your seats and wait for my instructions.”


    Thereafter, the staff went forward to distribute numbers to the appraisers who had advanced to the next


    round.


    Han quickly got his number 38.


    “Gosh, this number…”


    Han looked at the number and was speechless.


    He stood up and said, “Mr. Griffith, let’s go.”


    With that, he walked to stall No. 38 and sat down.


    Jerome and Jerry followed Han. They moved all the raw stones in the stall and ced them in front


    of Han. Their eyes were filled with anticipation.


    “Mr. Jaber, how is it this time? Are there only three raw stones that have emerald in them like before?”


    Jerry asked curiously.


    Han nced at the raw stones and just nodded without saying anything.


    In fact, that batch of raw stones was also a smokescreen.


    The organizers used arge number of raw stones to cover up the three stones that had emerald in


    them.


    Moreover, the emerald hid pretty deeply in the stones. It was impossible to identify it with ordinary


    methods.


    It was much harder than the first round.


    And it required genuine skills to do that.


    Just as Han was about to close his eyes and rest, a middle–aged man with hooded eyes appeared


    in front of Han.


    He stared at Han grimly and said, “Mr. Jaber, I heard that you want to bet. I’ll bet with you.”
