    Due they reached the semifinals, it meant they would be among the top four.


    Being among the top four would bring graficant prestige to the Edwards family in the gem industry, and


    their business would soar to new heights


    Whether they became mpions or runners–up, their business would undoubtedly thrive if they could


    make it to the finals


    Therefore, Lake did not want Hickman to give up.


    Hickman red at him and coldly said. “What’s more important, winning the championship or my life?


    Do you think I can sinvive facing these people


    Luke was left speechless by lus words.


    He aho saw that Huck Alexander, Chambers Anderson, Morris Rodriguez, the long–haired youth, and


    the silent young girl were all formidable characters


    When those people made a move, they either sent their opponents flying or drew blood.


    No matter how skilled Hickman was in his appraisal techniques, he was no match for this group of


    ruthless and wicked experts. He could either be seriously injured or killed.


    It was evident that Hickman was scared!


    Not to mention that Hickman was scared. Even Luke, who personally witnessed those people killing


    others, felt a chill down Jus spine.


    He tried putting himself in Hickman Adams‘ shoes and realized avoiding confrontation was the best


    approach against those people!


    Only by evading their aggression can one livefortably.


    “Mr. Adams, are you going to abstain?” the host asked.


    “After I abstain, will I be able to keep all these emerald pendants?” Hickman asked.


    “As long as they are the emerald pendants you appraised during thepetition, they will all belong to


    you,” the host replied.


    “Okay, I abstain.” Hickman said solemnly


    Han Jaber. Huck Alexander, Morris Rodriguez, and those people were as strong as monsters. He


    dared not confront them head–on and did not have the ability to do so.


    At this moment, all he could do was retreat swiftly.


    After confirming Hickman’s abstention through multiple inquiries, the host sighed and said, “That’s


    really a pity.”


    Then, he announced Hickman’s abstention through the broadcast.


    Hickman took the emerald pendants he had appraised and turned to look at Han, saying, “Mr. Jaber,


    I wish you good


    luck.”


    After saying that, he left the scene with Luke and his son, then watched from the outside.


    He sensed that what would follow would be a true sh of titans, something an ordinary person like


    him could not participate in


    With Hickman’s elimination, only six people remained in the arena. If they were grouped in threes, two


    groups advance to the semifinals.


    would


    However, a voice came through the earpiece of the host.


    Upon hearing this voice, the host’s expression changed, and then he shouted loudly, “Ladies and


    gentlemen, ording to the


    10:47


    organizer’s request, the next round will be a group of six


    The rules remain the same, Whoever can find the most valuable and highest–quality geinstones will


    emerge victorious. There are no other rules.”


    Please, all six contestants, move to the red area.


    Upon hearing this statement, many spectators at the scene exchanged puzzled looks.


    With only six people remaining, grouped together, and only one spot for victory, it would be a fierce


    battle to the bitter endi


    “It’s going to be a spectacle! A six–person fight”


    “Come on, let’s ce our bets. Guess who wille out on top? There are odds for each contender.”


    “Wow, the bookmaker is really biased, huh? The odds for Han Jaber winning are three times higher,


    while Huck Alexander’s odds are only 1.3?”


    “Well, that’s obvious. Han Jaber may be powerful, but when ites to gemstone battles, Huck


    Alexander is the true expert.‘


    “Look, Morris Rodriguez’s odds of winning are also quite low, only 1.2”


    “Morris Rodriguez is a Dragon Seeker, immersed in this field for decades. His mastery of the art of


    seeking the dragon and striking its acupoint has reached a level of perfection. Moreover, he is an


    eight–star general–ss master. He is bound to win this time!”


    “Come,e,e. Don’t miss it. Come and ce your bets.”


    Outside the spectator stands, a cunning–looking young man had set up an informal betting booth and


    was enthusiastically calling out to attract all the spectators toe and ce their bets.


    As this betting booth appeared, many spectators flocked to it, discussing and debating among


    themselves.


    Upon seeing this scene, Karen Zane furrowed her brow and was about to go over and intervene.


    However, Mr. Zabel quickly grabbed her arm and shook his head, whispering. “This is Demigod Steve


    Sky’s younger brother, Steve Shock!


    “His appearance sometimes signifies the presence of Steve Sky himself. It’s best if you don’t get


    involved.”


    Karen Zane frowned but ultimately decided not to interfere.


    After all, Steve Sky was soon to be crowned the champion, and it was wise not to offend anyone from


    the Sky lineage.


    “Everyone, have you seen that long–haired man, the Four–sea Traveler? His capability is


    immeasurable; he’s at least a


    nine–star General!”


    “His stone–detecting skills are impressive. I’ve been observing him for a while, and he can unearth


    exceptional top–grade emerald pendants worth a fortune every time.”


    “It is said that hees from a mysterious ce, making him a dark horse with the potential to win the


    championship.” “As for the young maiden, her name is Lindsey Scott, and she possesses formidable


    credentials, approaching the level of a god–ss expert.”


    “ording to the information she provided, she hails from an aplished and enigmatic sect, and


    her stone–detecting skills are top–notch. She is also a strong contender for the championship and


    should not be underestimated.”


    “Morris Rodriguez, Chambers Anderson, and Huck Alexander, these three individuals are incredibly


    formidable. They are definitely the top contenders for the championship.”


    “As for Han Jaber, although he may surpass Robert Bard in terms of abilities, thispetition is not


    just about strength but also about stone–detecting skills. He is the underdog, and I don’t really believe


    he can win.”


    *Everyone, don’t just stand idle. Hurry up and ce your bets. As the house, I ept any amount of


    money.”


    After realizing that no one was paying attention to him, Steve became even more reckless, shouting


    and urging the live audience toe and ce their bets while pretending to analyze the situation.


    In his analysis, everyone else was either a dark horse or a top contender, except for Han Jaber, who


    was considered an underdog with the highest odds.


    Steve looked down on Han jaber!


    “I’m betting on Lindsey Scott!”


    “I think Four–sea Traveler can wind”


    Tm betting on


    Morris Rodriguez!”


    Many audience niebers at the venue saw the opportunity to ce their bets and eagerly pulled out


    money to participate However there were not inany people supporting Han Jaber.


    Tm betting 20 million dors on Han Jaber to win!”


    Just as everyone was enthusiastically engaged in the activity, a clear and melodious voice was heard.


    Reign Labenz appeared at the betting counter and dropped a check worth 20 million dors, betting on


    Han to win.
