Chapter 5308
Kora’s well-laid plan instantly went down the drain because of Harvey York.
The moment the Emperor’s Gem appeared, Kora was utterly defeated.
She seemed horrible while looking at the sight, as if she still could not believe anything she saw then.
A few beautiful disciples even slapped themselves in the face, hoping they were just dreaming.
“We won! We won!”
Arlet Pagan came to her senses before jumping around while wrapping herself around Harvey’s arm.
Kade Bolton gave out a sigh of relief.
The staff of the Archa Corporation also smiled.
They did not expect the tables to turn this way.
“Let’s get out of here then. Right, aren’t you supposed to come with us as well?
“We’d need someone to pour our tea during the celebration, right?”
Harvey smiled at Kora.
“I have the contract. You won’t bail on it now, will you?”
Kora’s expression turned dark while her entire face was twitching.
She let out a cold chuckle after that.
“How dare you still tell me to keep my promise?!
“You planted the Emperor’s Gem in the batch, then covered its energy with powder!
“You agitated me enough to make a deal with you after that!
“You’re telling me that you won after doing something this despicable?! How dare you?!
“This match doesn’t count!”
Arlet frowned.
“If you’re planning to bail, then just say it!
“The Pagan family has always been honest in doing business!
“It’s only natural that we won fair and square!”
“Then, how are you going to explain the stone?
“I’ve learned to detect energy in stones since I was little! There was nothing in that stone!
“How did I not see anything special?!
“You must’ve rigged the stone somehow!”
“You call us despicable?
“Your energy detection technique must’ve come from the Book of Changes.
“That said, you’re not good enough. You can only use the technique twelve times every day!
“If you use it for the thirteenth time, not only will it bite you in the back, but your judgment will be instantly affected!
“Besides, the technique is affected by your love for gems. You’d see tempest-type gems first.
“This was why every stone you picked was a tempest- type gem!”
Kora’s seniors instantly changed expressions. Naturally, Harvey figured out the truth.
“Then, why’d you pick a gem from the third batch?
“Why didn’t you pick anything from the first or the second?!
“Are you telling me you didn’t tamper them beforehand?!”
Harvey gave a chuckle.
“Fine. I’ll do it right now.”
Harvey casually picked a few stones from the first and second batches.
Arlet’s men quickly grabbed the stones before cutting them open, revealing gems inside.
There were no tempest-type gems, but they were still worth quite a bit.
Kora’s expression changed instantly. Harvey was clearly embarrassing her in front of everyone.
At the same time, he was also implying that everything she claimed was just a blatant lie!
