Chapter 1136: Appraising the Little Stone
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“I just arrived today. I came here to visit my elders and encountered people from the Limelight Casino who are plotting against my brother, forcing him to make a martial oath to prove his innocence.”
Braydon Neal seemed to be chatting casually.
In fact, Braydon was also curious about what was special about this girl who had taken Lester Crawford’s first time.
Brianna Doyle lightly bit her thin lips and asked softly, “How is he doing?”
“Lester is also here!” Skylar Neal added.
Brianna asked eagerly, “Where is he?”
“Brianna!”
Sayge Doyle’s face turned red. The crucial point today was not about Brianna’s private matters, but the face of the Doyle family!
The Doyle family was no weaker than the Neal family.
Brianna changed the subject, speaking coldly, “The incident started at the casino, so let’s settle it with gambling. If you win, neither family is allowed to bring up this matter again. If you lose, then your father must apologize to my father. How about that?”
“That’s fine by me!”
Braydon didn’t want to bully Brianna. In terms of relations, this girl was his sister-in-law.
If he were to hurt her, wouldn’t Lester go all out against him when he found out?
Sayge frowned, but since his daughter had spoken this way, they could only proceed this way.
Furthermore, Lowell Neal was not weak.
If the two of them really fought, regardless of who died or got injured, it would lead to a battle between the giants of the two families.
By then, both families would suffer.
Brianna gently moved her delicate jade-like hand, and a set of dice appeared in her hand, with six dice inside.
Rolling the dice!
A simple yet ancient gambling method pa.s.sed down for thousands of years.
Braydon had never gambled with anyone.
He was well aware that not gambling was winning!
Not gambling was winning.
Once you stepped onto the gambling scene, you had already lost half of what you have.
Just like now, Braydon and Brianna each had a fifty percent chance of winning.
A fifty percent chance of winning also meant a fifty percent chance of losing.
Sayge looked at Lowell and sneered, “Since it’s a gamble between the two families, how can there be no stakes!”
“Of course!”
Lowell replied calmly.
Sayge’s fingers moved slightly, placing a silver object on the table that was as big as an adult’s fist.
“What a generous offer. Such a large piece of broken spirit stone. How rare!”
Lowell recognized this item at a glance.
It was something that craftsmen dreamed of obtaining.
When forging weapons, even a small amount, about three to five grams of this substance, could give the weapon the effect of breaking spirits.
Breaking spirits meant the ability to penetrate vitality manifestations.
Defensive measures like the vitality shield would be nonexistent in front of the broken spirit stone.
As can be imagined, any weapon of a pinnacle-level martial artist would benefit from adding a bit of broken spirit powder.
Unfortunately, this substance was quite rare. Even if it occasionally circulated outside, it was auctioned at extremely high prices.
The two millennium-old herbs in Sapphire Neal’s hands, things that had grown for a thousand years, might not be as important as this small piece.
Sayge calmly said, “In the gamble between the two families, it’s important to bring out something good. Lowell, please.”
“Since I’m gambling this round, if you want to bet, I’ll naturally bet against you. It won’t involve my uncle.”
Braydon’s words were calm.
But Sayge coldly said, “Kid, it’s not that I underestimate you. Do you know the value of this broken spirit stone? What do you have on you that can match my bet, be it your cultivation technique, ancient martial art techniques, or some rare treasure!”
Sayge’s lips curled into a mocking smile.
Skylar indifferently said, “Even if I give you my brother’s cultivation technique and ancient martial art techniques, I’m afraid the Doyle family wouldn’t dare to take them!”
“What a joke. Since the opening of the Limelight Casino, as long as you dare to bring it to the gambling table, the Doyle family will dare to accept all the bets!”
In Sayge’s words, there was a touch of arrogance.
Indeed, their Doyle family had a special background.
It was a pity that the person they were gambling against was Braydon!
The cultivation techniques on Braydon, the Mount Sino Sword Art, the Spirit Summoning Art, and the Great Void of Kylo Art. Who dared to touch them?
The seventy-two giants of the South Pole were not to be provoked!
Braydon chuckled lightly and took out a small black stone he carried with him.
Sayge took out a stone.
Braydon also took out a stone.
Could the value of the two stones be the same?
Brianna frowned and took the small black stone. Her jade-like hand suddenly sank, and she exclaimed, “It’s so heavy! What material is this?”
Sayge took a quick look but couldn’t recognize the item.
Lowell’s face suddenly changed drastically after seeing this thing. His gaze was full of suspicion, staring at the small black stone for a long time.
Braydon lightly laughed, “Uncle Lowell, do you recognize this thing?”
“N-no, I don’t recognize it. I’m not sure!”
Lowell dared not confirm if this thing was the precious item he suspected. If it was, how could it end up in Braydon’s hands? Knowing that this item was in the hands of a senior would shock the heavens.
Sayge couldn’t help but get angry, “Kid, you don’t even know anything about this thing, yet you dare to bet against me with it!”
“Although your thing is very precious, I believe that this item won’t be worse than what you’ve offered!”
Braydon was not guilty at all.
Because from childhood to adulthood, the Sovereign Lord had given Braydon two things.
The first thing was the Spirit Summoning Art.
The second thing was the small black stone.
So, Braydon really wanted to know what the small black stone was, its origin, and its uses. After all, he had carried it with him for several months, and he hadn’t figured out anything about the origin and uses of this small stone.
If the Sovereign Lord were to find out about this, he would definitely ridicule him.
Sayge picked up the small black stone, unable to see through it at all, and sneered, “A worthless piece of stone. How can it compete with mine!”
“If it’s really a worthless stone, the Neal family will indeed lose face. But if it’s not, the reputation of the Limelight Casino will probably be ruined today. If a guest’s treasure is identified as a worthless stone in your place, who would dare to enter your casino in the future.”
Lowell said calmly.
These words aroused Sayge’s vigilance. He frowned deeply, realizing that Braydon, this young man, seemed carefree but wasn’t an idle playboy. He exuded a kind of calm aura, seemingly fearless in the face of anything.
This confidence made Sayge somewhat uneasy.
He said in a low voice, “Brianna, is Mr. Leavitt here today?”
“He should be here by now!” Brianna said.
Sayge decisively said, “Please bring Mr. Leavitt here!”
Brianna immediately went back home. In less than a quarter of an hour, she brought in an old man with white hair and beard, looking like a fairy.
The old man moved nimbly and complained, “Brianna, slow down a little. My bones are about to break.”
“Hurry up. A fight is about to break out!”
Brianna pulled the white-bearded Mr. Leavitt to the Neal Mansion.
