A Man Like None Other Chapter 417

Chapter 417Chapter 417
Ön the other hand, Isaiah was enraged. “What are you talking about? Do you even understand how
stone gambling works? I have a whole batch of Hickoria stones with me. You’ve got a lot of nerve,
claiming that they aren’t worth thirty million.”
“Dominic, where did you meet this foolish man? Amongst the dozen or so stones that I examined earlier,
you could vaguely see the bright colors underneath the surface. Besides, I’m sure you also – witnessed it
with your own eyes. Now, this man dares to claim that they aren’t worth three hundred million?” Benjamin
rose to his feet and declared, “In my opinion, this batch is worth more than three billion! If you don’t want
it, I’ll take it.”
Earlier, Benjamin sang praises about the stones’ quality. Now that Jared had blatantly said the exact
opposite, Benjamin couldn’t help but blow his top.
“Mr. Patterson, please calm down,” Dominic said hastily. He glanced at Jared doubtfully. “Mr. Chance,
there’s no denying the high quality of these Hickoria stones. Furthermore, three billion isn’t too hefty of a
price. Why don’t-”
“Are you doubting my words?” Jared interjected coldly.
“Not at all. How could I not trust you, Mr. Chance!” Dominic replied with a shake of his head.
“If you trust me, don’t buy this batch of stones.” Without another word, Jared strolled off to the side and
continued to fiddle with the spiritual stone.
Jared’s curt response left Dominic in an awkward position. In the end, the latter relented and regretfully
informed Isaiah, “Mr. Ferguson, please accept my sincerest apologies. I won’t be purchasing this batch
of stones anymore.”Though Isaiah appeared startled, his look of shock was quickly replaced with one of anger instead.
“Dominic, even Mr. Patterson himself has testified for the stones’ quality. I can’t believe you’re trusting
the words of a mere youngster over Mr. Patterson’s advice.” Isaiah scoffed incredulously. “Since you
don’t plan on buying them, I’ll just bring my stones somewhere else! I am sure some other customers will
profit from these stones.”
Although Dominic was reluctant to decline Isaiah’s offer, he couldn’t bring himself to go against Jared.
“Mr. Ferguson, let me take these stones then. I’ll teach these youngsters a lesson. How could they let
such an opportunity slip by?” Benjamin said as he walked toward Isaiah.
“Mr. Patterson, I am willing to sell them to you at a lower price of two hundred and fifty million. However,
you’ll need to transfer the money to me on the spot.”
“No problem. I’ll send you the money right now,” Benjamin agreed enthusiastically. I can’t believe that
he’s offering me a fifty million discount. This bargain is the perfect golden goose!
Even so, Benjamin didn’t have the funds to pay the entire payment and called a few of his friends
to cover the leftover cost. He also contacted a few men to transport the stones back.
About an hour later, Benjamin finally obtained enough money and sent it all to Isaiah without a second
thought.
The sight of the stones, now in his possession, left Benjamin overwhelmed with excitement.
Nevertheless, his cold glare swept toward Dominic. “Let me show you the high quality of these Hickoria
stones. How dare a youngster like you call them rubbish!”
novelbinas Smugly, Benjamin ordered his men to bring forth a dozen of stones and cut them open. He was
confident that he’d find precious gemstones within these stones.Upon seeing this, Isaiah blurted, “Mr. Patterson, I have a long journey ahead of me. Hence, I’ll be taking
my leave first. I wish you the best of luck with your stones.”
“Mr. Ferguson, don’t leave so soon. You’ll need to stay and prove them wrong!” Benjamin quickly held
onto Isaiah’s sleeve.
Left with no choice, Isaiah was forced to remain by Benjamin’s side.
From afar, Dominic could only watch on helplessly. Despite his envy and admiration at seeing Benjamin
open the stones, Jared’s refusal barred him from proceeding with the transaction and making a
handsome profit.
In the blink of an eye, the stones were cut open. However, its insides left everyone stunned.
All the stones split apart to reveal nothing but empty air. These stones were nothing more than ordinary
pebbles and rocks. Moreover, fissures appeared across the stone’s surface once it was opened.
Quickly, realization dawned upon everyone. The bright green and red colors they’d seen earlier
appeared to have been painted on the stones. Hence, there was nothing of note in these stones.
