Chapter 423 - Chapter 423: Chapter 423 Desert Jade (2/2)

“It’s quite simple. Each of us will choose a stone, then split it open. Whoever’s stone contains more colors is the winner! However, the loser must meet one condition set forth by the winner.”

Chen Yu’s eyes narrowed slightly, this guy was clearly setting a trap for him, twisting the situation to find a legitimate reason to wipe out the William family.

Today was Victor’s birthday. If he could completely engulf William’s family on such a special day, then his place within the Lakato family would shine as bright as the sun at noon.

Chen Yu just smiled and casually grabbed a stone, placing it on the table.

This game was child’s play to him. Not to mention he had all the knowledge about gemstones in his head, just a bit of analysis with the system would allow him to win easily.

Ino chuckled softly. He had had all the stones here appraised and marked specially beforehand. Any stone he picked was guaranteed to contain at least three colors.

All he had to do was select the one determined to have the most colors.

After both had chosen their stones, a professional master stepped forward and began to split them open in front of them.

“Mr. Chen, if you concede defeat now, I might still concede a point in respect of your status as one of the Knights of the Round Table. If you continue to insist, you might damage the Knights’ reputation.”

Chen Yu tilted his head indifferently.

“In this world, there is no instrument that can easily see through the structure inside a stone. Even if Mr. Ino made prior markings, he may not necessarily win.”

Ino’s pupils dilated suddenly, and his hatred for Chen Yu deepened.

This game had been very popular since the age of the mountain hermits and was a way for the family to gamble on luck.

Whenever there was a significant decision to be made, they would use this method to decide the outcome.

With the development of appraisal techniques and the accumulation of experience, many within their ranks had devised a set of skills for evaluating stones.

This enabled them to choose, with a high probability, stones containing more colors.

However, due to the unpredictability of these stones, even with their skills, they couldn’t completely ascertain what was inside.

Therefore, it remained a decisive game within the Lakato family.

Ino didn’t say much more, just leaned back and took a sip of wine, quietly waiting for the result.

Desert jade was extremely hard, so splitting it took more effort than usual.

After half an hour, the two stones were finally presented again.

To everyone’s shock, the stone Chen Yu had chosen contained five colors, while the one Ino chose had only four.

Such a situation was extremely rare even within the Lakato family.

The colors within the stone were alternating and progressive, dazzling in their splendor.

Out in the market, that stone would start at a minimum of five hundred million.

But Ino was not pleased. He could never have dreamed that he would lose at the stone game he had played all his life.

And all these stones had been marked by him. The ones not marked either had a single color or couldn’t be detected at all.

If such a result were to occur in the Lakato family, probably everyone would consider it a sign from the gods, and some might even see Chen Yu as the god of luck.

Ino suddenly stood up: “This game doesn’t count. Let’s play another round!”
