even more terrifying
“However. Jarod is cunning. As for the gemstones that he refuses to cut, the marked price must exceed the value of the gemstones. It is too difficult to make money from him”
Waylon introduced the details to Leonard while walking.
They came to the cafeteria on the third floor of Shiny Rock Center.
After breakfast, they headed for the destination in the car.
Curless Rock Center was the largest among dozens of rock center on the southern border.
It happened to be Sunday today, and all nine exhibition halls were open.
Usually, only one or two were open.
The car soon came to a huge manor
At the gate of the manor people in black suits and sunglasses stood guard.
Everyone who entered must be checked.
The window fil
the car rolled down
Arlie poked his head out and said. “It’s me.”
“Mr. Levell, good morning”
The men immediately moved out of the way.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
Apparently, Arlie was influential on the southern border.
The car came into the courtyard and ran along a straight concrete road for 1600 feet. Exhibition halls on both sides came into sight.
Each exhibition hall had a number.
Others‘ rock center only had one building, but Jarod’s had nine buildings.
Top gemstones were displayed in every building.

Jarod sold all these gemstones, his assets could reach hundreds of billions of dollars.
“Jurod is well deserved to be Crowned Jeweler,”
Arlie sighed with envy in his eyes
Indeed, the wale of Arlie’s Shiny Rock Center was not small, but it paled compared to Jarod’s
They found a place to stop the car and then went straight to Hall 1
Hall I was filled with sky–high–priced gemstones.
Without assets worth more than 20 million dollars, one was not eligible to enter Hall 1
They came to the door of Hall 1 There was a row of welcoming beauties in dress.
A man walked up directly.
“Mr. Levell, good morning
“Mr. Levell, you are going to play a big game today.”
The man knew Arlie
He continued, “Mr. Levell, although you are a well–known diamond merchant on the southern border, you still have to follow the rules here.”
“I know.”
Arlie took out a check and put it on the table. The amount was six million dollars.
Waylon explained to Leonard. “To enter Hall I requires a deposit of six million dollars to prove one’s identity.”
Leonard listened, calm.
In prison. he had long heard those people talking about the jewelry appraisal. Although he hadn’t witnessed it, he was no stranger to it.
Those who could be imprisoned in Iron Penitentiary were the real big shots. Jarod, the Crowned Jeweler, was nothing in
front of them.
Waylon couldn’t help but secretly nod.
He was amazed when he heard about Jarod for the first time, but Leonard didn’t seem surprised at all.
“The sky–high–price gemstones in Hall I are hardly sold in a year. Most of the people who come here are just watching for
fun.
The gemstones here are similar to the treasures of the halls, and few people have the confidence to make money from Crowned Jeweler.
“The opening of Hall 1 is also a means for Jarod, Crowned Jeweler, to show his strength.”
Waylon explained.
“So, that’s it.
“Mr. Lambert, why did you think of spending 20 million dollars on a gemstone? Leonard asked.
“That’s a long story. I came here to Iron Penitentiary last year, but Jarod tricked me. It was a total of 12 million dollars. I almost lost all my money. just couldn’t swallow such an insult.”
While speaking, they had already walked into the hall.
Immediately, they heard a woman’s voice.
“Isn’t it Mr. Lambert? Last year, you paid 12 million dollars for a pile of ordinary gemstones. I hear you ended up with only four million dollars back and a gross profit of 33%. It caused a sensation because it lowered the limit of jewelry appraisals.
“Are you here to send money to Mr. Curless again this year?”
A coquettish woman, her slender waist wiggling, came up.
She was plump, wearing heavy makeup on her face. Her chin was raised high, with a bit of sarcasm.
Arlie introduced this woman in a low voice, “This is Lindsy Doyen, a well–known diamond merchant in the southern border area. She has a close relationship with Jarod, Crowned Jeweler. It is said that she is Jarod’s lover.
“After Mr. Lambert lost last year, he said firmly that he would come back this year.
“Learning that Mr. Lambert is here, many businessmen from the southern border have come today. They just want to see if Mr. Lambert can make back his money this year. After all, he lost too much last year and has become a bad example for jewelry appraisals.”
gave a wry smile and warned, “Lindsy is not easy to mess with, nicknamed Blood Rose. She is ruthless and has many evil tricks.
“Many businessmen on the southern border have gone bankrupt because of her. You must be careful when speaking in front of her.
Waylon was also very afraid of such a woman.
He just came to rebuild his reputation for jewelry appraisals, but he didn’t dare to offend these ruthless people on the border.
So he could only chuckle awkwardly, “Mrs. Doyen, you are making fun of me. 1 itch to appraise gemstones, so I just want to come and appreciate them.”
Seeing that Waylon had a low profile voluntarily, Lindsy was disdainful of him. She snorted coldly and strode inside.
At the sight of this scene, many businessmen couldn’t help shaking their heads and chuckling.
When people from other provinces came to the southern border, they had to follow the rules here.
Waylon was a well–known rich man in Newden City. However, in front of Lindsy, he dared not say a harsh word.
