Ambush of the Quadruplets: Stay Away From This Woman Chapter 1468 A Bet On The Jade

Chapter 1468 A Bet On The Jade “9,700, huh?” Abel hesitated and asked, “What do you say if I win a bet about the jade?”
Are they betting on the jade?
Everyone else was shocked upon hearing Abel’s words, but at the same time, they also nodded
because it was a reasonable way to find out the answer.
“Well, well, this is quite the occasion. Mr. Ryker is betting with our president.” Dylan exclaimed in
excitement.
“I don’t mean to brag, but my grandfather was known as the Jade King across Setwell back in the day.”
Brandon chimed in.
Meanwhile, Abel placed the glass on the table, making a loud clunk that echoed across the room.
“What happened next?‘ Emmeline curiously asked, appearing interested in the story. of someone with a
successful legacy.
“My grandfather was able to amass a huge fortune worth tens of millions by gambling on jade in
Setwell before he moved to Magic City. Brandon added, “Therefore, my ancestors are actually from
Setwell.”
“Abel.” Emmeline turned her attention to Abel and asked, “So, how did you win the bet and get your
hands on this piece of jade?”
Abel furrowed his eyebrows slightly and pondered in silence as if he was recalling something from the
past.
In the meantime, Brandon went on to tell his story about his grandfather. “When my grandpa left
Setwell, two of his disciples stayed behind. One of them had the last name Chester, while the other
was known by the surname Ryker. Which one of them did you the bet against?”As soon as Brandon finished his sentence, the room was filled with silence, with everyone’s eyes falling
upon Abel. Soon, Abel’s forehead began to be covered in droplets of cold sweat, but the moment he
finished the alcohol in his glass, he mentioned one word. “Ryker.”
“No wonder…” Brandon added, “Master Ryker disappeared without a trace after that. So, that was the
reason behind it.
“I won the bet against him. Yes, you’re right.” Abel chuckled. “Life is full of surprises. Aren’t I right?”
“Yup, our life is full of uncertainties.” Brandon sighed. “My grandfather had been searching for Master
Ryker all his life, but to no avail. Now, the truth has come to light, and you’re the reason behind his
disappearance. Moreover, I can’t help but mention that he gave off an aura that’s pretty similar to
yours.”
“What’s his name then?” Emmeline blinked curiously. “Tell us his name, Master.”
“His name is Oliver Ryker. Brandon continued to say, “And you remind me of him.”
“Oliver Ryker?” Emmeline frowned. “Why does it feel like it sounds so familiar to me?”
“That’s because it feels like Oliver and Abel are the same person, Brandon explained. “When I first saw
Abel, I had the same sense of familiarity too, but unfortunately, my grandpa already passed away.” He
elaborated on his story further. “Otherwise, he would at least know who his favorite disciple lost to.”
“But the Jade King still lives as a legend.” Abel downplayed his success. “Back then, the Jade King
won three consecutive gambles and made a fortune worth millions, but me? I just got lucky in the end.”
“That must have been epic to watch!” Vernon exclaimed with excitement.
“I actually went there to watch the show at first.” Abel proceeded to recount his side of the story. “But
when I saw how the Jade King, whose last name was Ryker, made millions by winning gambles, Ibecame envious and decided to bet on the last rock.”
“According to my grandfather…” Brandon chimed in once more. “The Jade King had a net. worth of
over tens of millions at that time, but he had no cash in hand, surprisingly.”
“So, where did all his money go then?” Emmeline was curious to know the answer. “How could
someone with a net worth of over tens of millions have no money at all?”
“He put all his money into running a school,” Brandon explained. “Also, he invested a lot in the
healthcare and medical industry.”
“In the healthcare and medical industry?” Emmeline asked, “I thought his area of expertise was about
jade.”
“That’s something you’re probably not aware of. Brandon answered, “My grandfather actually inherited
two great skills. One of them was the mastery of the Art of Jade, while the other was his capability in
esoteric medicine. In fact, his talent in esoteric medicine was what helped him survive in Saint Duisea.
“Mr. Wyatt’s father established and ran three branches of Wyatt Traditional Healing Center, as well as
their affiliated medical schools, in Magic City,” Dylan joined the conversation.
“So, are you also an expert in esoteric medicine?” Emmeline turned to Brandon and asked.
novelbin“I am the chief acupuncturist at the hospital.” Brandon smiled and answered, “But instead of dedicating
my time to my profession, I’ve always kept myself occupied with business. management.” He then
turned to Abel and said, “Anyway, why don’t we continue listening to Mr. Ryker’s interesting story about
the time he won the gamble back then?”
Abel then started to recall the incident as if the vivid details began to flash before his eyes. At that time,
he happened to stumble upon an ordinary–looking rock that no one would bother to look at, but forsome reason, he had a hunch that told him otherwise. Thus, he bet all his 9.700, which was all the
money he had from the loan he got, that the rock was authentic jade.
On the other hand, the Jade King, whose last name was Ryker, was a man in his thirties. With a
muscular build and a tough–looking aura that he was giving off, he radiated an overwhelmingly
dominating energy. Nevertheless, he had a wide and thick fur scarf wrapped. around his neck, covering
half of his face and only revealing his long eyebrows and mysterious eyes.
Beside the Jade King stood a young man who appeared to be around 16 or 17 years old. Noticing the
slight resemblance that the young man shared with him in appearance, the latter decided to play a
game with him by placing 20,000 on the bet. Meanwhile, everyone else just stood with their hands in
their pockets, thinking the young man was going to lose all his money and dignity for his foolishness.
“Open it!” The dealer shouted.
As soon as the rock was cut in half, the sight shocked everyone who had their eyes on it because what
was lying before them was none other than the rare and precious glassy jadeite.
