He aho saw that Huck Alexander, Chambers Anderson, Morris Rodriguez, the longâhaired 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 Adamsâ shoes and realized avoiding confrontation was the best approach against those people!

Then, he announced Hickmanâs abstention through the broadcast.
Hickman took the emerald pendants he had appraised and turned to look at Haylan, saying, âMr.
Jaber, I wish you good luck.â
After saying that, he left the scene with Luke and his son, then watched from the outside.

Upon hearing this voice, the hostâs expression changed, and then he shouted loudly, âLadies and gentlemen, according to the 10:47 organizerâs request, the next round will be a group of six The rules remain the same, Whoever can find the most valuable and highestâquality geinstones will emerge victorious. There are no other rules.â
Please, all six contestants, move to the red area.
Upon hearing this statement, many spectators at the scene exchanged puzzled looks.

âCome on, letâs place our bets. Guess who will come out on top? There are odds for each contender.â
âWow, the bookmaker is really biased, huh? The odds for Haylan Jaber winning are three times higher, while Huck Alexanderâs odds are only 1.3?â
âWell, thatâs obvious. Haylan Jaber may be powerful, but when it comes to gemstone battles, Huck Alexander is the true expert.â
âLook, Morris Rodriguezâs odds of winning are also quite low, only 1.2â
âMorris 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 eightâstar generalâclass master. He is bound to win this time!â

âHis appearance sometimes signifies the presence of Steve Sky himself. Itâs best if you donât get involved.â
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.
âEveryone, have you seen that longâhaired man, the Fourâsea Traveler? His capability is immeasurable; heâs at least a nineâstar General!â
âHis stoneâdetecting skills are impressive. Iâve been observing him for a while, and he can unearth exceptional topâgrade emerald pendants worth a fortune every time.â

âMorris Rodriguez, Chambers Anderson, and Huck Alexander, these three individuals are incredibly formidable. They are definitely the top contenders for the championship.â
âAs for Haylan Jaber, although he may surpass Robert Bard in terms of abilities, this competition is not just about strength but also about stoneâdetecting skills. He is the underdog, and I donât really believe he can win.â
*Everyone, donât just stand idle. Hurry up and place your bets. As the house, I accept any amount of money.â
After realizing that no one was paying attention to him, Steve became even more reckless, shouting and urging the live audience to come and place their bets while pretending to analyze the situation.
