They arrived at "Locust," the largest Gamble Stone workshop in Wisdom City.
The hall was divided into several sections, each with different prices.
The hall was crowded with all sorts of people, young and old, rich and poor, their eyes filled with desire.
This was a paradise for money.
"A knife cut makes a man rich or poor," was a saying perfectly describing the gamble of buying a stone; it was the shortest path to wealth. If successful, one could step into the clouds and later walk the path to affluence, free from any worry.
People inside the hall, who were chattering or picking raw materials, immediately greeted Malcolm Suyt and Aria Morrison as they arrived hand-in-hand.
An old man in a tunic suit with a tuft of white mustache cheerfully said, "Mr. Suyt, Miss Morrison, you're here to play Gamble Stone again. I am sure you will get excellent jadeite today. Let me congratulate you in advance."
