Chapter 418 Wrong Judgment
“H-How is this possible?” Benjamin’s eyes grew twice as large. Like a madman, he shook the stones,
hoping for something to appear within them.
“Crack open all of these stones right now!” he bellowed.
In no time, more stones were cracked open. Despite that, all the stones yielded similar results as nothing
of value was found in them.
“There’s no need to open them anymore. It is nothing more but a waste of your time,” Jared remarked as
he rose to his feet.
Languidly, he tossed the spiritual stone aside. He’d already drained it of all of its spiritual energy.
This unexpected turn of events left Benjamin dumbstruck. When the truth dawned upon him, he swayed
on his feet like he was in a daze. After regaining his senses, he lunged toward Isaiah in a fit of rage.
“How dare you lie to me! Give me my money back!” he snarled as he grabbed Isaiah’s collar.
Similarly, Isaiah dropped his respectful demeanor and pleasantries. He shoved Benjamin away and
snapped, “Aren’t you aware of the rules in stone gambling? It’s not my fault that you made the wrong

Once Isaiah freed himself from Benjamin’s grasp, he spun on his heel and intended to leave. Yet,
Benjamin refused to give up. “Stop them! Don’t let them take a single step out of here.”
Quickly, Benjamin’s men rushed forward to surround Isaiah. Nevertheless, Isaiah had come prepared
too. His bodyguards leaped into action against Benjamin’s subordinates. In the span of a few seconds,
they’d defeated all of Benjamin’s men.
Isaiah snorted haughtily. “You brat, I haven’t forgotten about you. It’d be best if we never cross paths
again,” he warned Jared in a menacing tone.
After the threat, Isaiah and his bodyguards left the scene.
Promptly, Benjamin crumpled to the floor as he burst into tears. He’d gone so pale that his skin appeared
gray in color.
After all, he’d purchased these worthless stones by borrowing money from others. How am I going to
return the money that I owe?
With a final glance at Benjamin’s weeping figure, Jared beckoned at Dominic. “Let’s go.”
Dominic nodded. Respectfully, he trailed after Jared as the duo departed elsewhere. After witnessing the
events that transpired earlier, Dominic’s respect for Jared grew tenfold. If I hadn’t listened to Jared, I
would have ended up in Benjamin’s shoes.
Along the journey, Dominic asked, “Mr. Chance, where are we headed to?”
“We are going stone gambling. I want to see every stone that Summerbank has to offer. I’m short of
money right now,” Jared replied.
“All right!” Excitedly, Dominic heeded Jared’s instructions and brought the latter to the stone gambling
street in Summerbank’s shopping district.
Throughout the entire afternoon, Dominic brought Jared to every stone gambling stall. Under Jared’s
keen eye, every stone he picked contained precious jewels.
Since Dominic knew the streets like the back of his hand, the duo managed to see every type of jewel.
These jewels ranged in color from imperial jades and blood reds to icy blues. Immediately, Dominic
would trade these jewels for cash.
“Mr. Chance, we earned two billion this afternoon!” Dominic cried out in excitement when he sent Jared

In contrast to Dominic’s elation, Jared leaned against his chair and closed his eyes for a much-needed
rest. To him, two billion was still too little. Furthermore, Jared spent the entire afternoon exhausting his
spiritual energy and felt incredibly drained.
After sending Jared home, Dominic took a portion of their earnings for himself before transferring the rest
to Jared. Before Jared left, he reminded Dominic to acquire more stones, especially the ones from Mount
Hickoria.
Truthfully, Jared wasn’t interested in Hickoria stones. Instead, he had his attention fixated on the spiritual
stones. If he managed to get his hands on more spiritual stones, it meant that the discovery of spiritual
stones in Mount Hickoria was not merely a coincidence.
The moment Jared stepped inside the house, he caught sight of Josephine, who was lounging on the
couch. Upon noticing his return, she leaped up and hurried to his side. “I thought you went out for lunch?
Why did you only return during dinnertime? I was getting bored out of my mind!”
“Where’s Lizbeth?” Jared asked.
“What’s the matter? Do you miss her?” Josephine questioned as she narrowed her eyes.
