Chapter 187 Bet
"What bet?"
Kevin was stunned. The leather-covered house deed in his hand was real, but it was not managed by him as he said. It was just because the Larkin family and the Jones family had recently closed due to border friction.
He owned a shop that supplied rose powder, so his father asked him to take the property deed and prepare to close the shop and sell it directly to express his response to Jones.
Except for Kevin who was in a daze, others including Caroline also didn't understand why Gervais started betting in such a noisy manner.
"Didn't you say that everything I have now is due to Alice? Let's make a bet. It doesn't require the identity of Alice's husband. You just take a piece of paper and I just write a few words on it. Wait.
It will be sent to the auction soon, and many people will pay for it soon!"
Amid everyone's doubts, Gervais explained how to make the bet.
"Of course, since it's a bet, there must be a jackpot, so I'll bet against you with two Warcraft crystals!"
As he spoke, Gervais took out the two Warcraft crystals that had just fallen to the ground from his arms and kept playing with them in his hands.
"Are you sure? Any note will do? And you can't reveal anything about yourself!"
When Kevin heard Gervais's words, he was still doubtful at first, but when he saw the two precious Warcraft crystals in Gervais's hands, he couldn't help but feel moved.
Gervais said that it was up to them to choose the note, and Gervais would only write a few words on it without revealing any of his identity information. This made Kevin unable to think of anyone who would buy a note, and which nobleman did not love money.
As fate would have it, even if they knew Gervais's identity, no one would necessarily buy it.
After all, Gervais is just Alice's husband, but they don't need to flatter Gervais's horses at all, and Gervais has no reason for them to flatter him.
"Of course I am sure, and I will only write three words, and you can supervise the whole process later!"
Gervais smiled and nodded, confirming what he just said again.
"But my bet is two Warcraft crystals. I wonder what you can come up with to compete with me?"
"I will use this shop to bet against you! In addition, I have 5 gold coins with me!"
Kevin couldn't think of the possibility of losing, and he was really greedy for the two Warcraft crystals. Although the Warcraft crystals were valuable, they were unmarketable.
Warcraft crystals are something that can be encountered but cannot be sought. Now he is a peak bronze knight, only one step away from the silver knight. When the time comes, one of the Warcraft crystals will be used to absorb it, and one will be used to strengthen the weapon. It is wonderful to think about it.
.
"Kevin, I advise you to think about it carefully!"
Although Carolyn didn't know what kind of medicine Gervais was selling in the gourd, and she felt that Gervais basically had no chance of winning, but since it was Gervais who proposed it, Carolyn always felt that there must be something wrong with it.
"Miss Caroline, this auction house is the property of your Sollem family, so you don't have to worry about me doing anything!"
Gervais turned to look at the pretty Caroline in front of him and asked her a question.
"Needless to say, I will bet with you, but I have a requirement. There must be five pieces of paper, and I will bet with you only after 5 successful bids. Even if the same person bids away, it will not count."
Since Kevin was the son of an earl, he was certainly not a fool, so he immediately added conditions.
"Okay, as long as no one takes a photo, I lose! But your shop and 5 gold coins are still worth a lot less than my magic crystal."
Seeing that Kevin was already eager to give it a try, Gervais felt hot inside, but on the surface he seemed to dislike Kevin's bet. He paused for a while and then spoke reluctantly.
"But I made this bet just to prove myself, so I will reluctantly agree to it!"
Gervais did not hesitate, and finally looked at the leather house deed in Kevin's hand. He suddenly felt that he could not trust Kevin's character, so he continued to speak.
"In order to prevent both parties from defaulting on their accounts, we'd better find a notary and place the bet with the notary first!"
"I think Miss Caroline is a good notary, and this is Sollem's property. Do you have any objections?"
"Of course I have no objection!"
Kevin immediately said.
Kevin was already familiar with Caroline, so of course he was not worried about Caroline favoring Gervais, so he handed the house deed and the five gold coins in his hand to Caroline's hands without hesitation.
Gervais felt happy when he saw Kevin so happy, and quietly handed the two Warcraft crystals into Caroline's hands.
"Now please trouble Miss Caroline to find the auctioneer who is responsible for hosting the auction. I want to give him a word!"
After Gervais put the Warcraft crystal in Caroline's hand, he smiled at Caroline and said.
"You can go find paper now, any paper, as long as it can be written on!"
After hearing that Gervais and the two had agreed on the bet, Caroline didn't say anything else, so she walked to the door and gave instructions to the maid outside, and the maid left quickly according to the instructions.
After the maid left, Kevin went downstairs himself and found a few pieces of paper from the maid. The paper was ordinary and of the lowest quality. It was used in the kitchen to record the purchase of goods.
When Kevin handed over five pieces of paper that had been torn into the size of a cigarette box in his previous life, Gervais wrote a few words directly on the paper.
When Gervais was writing, Kevin and Caroline stared at Gervais intently, not giving Gervais any chance to do anything.
It didn’t matter to Gervais, he wasn’t going to do anything about it anyway, and in order to prevent Kevin and the others from making excuses later, Gervais didn’t even touch the note during the writing process, he just used a single
Writing on a piece of paper with hands in the air.
Just after Gervais had written all five notes, the voice of the auctioneer who was in charge of hosting the auction came from outside the door.
"Miss Caroline, are you looking for me?"
"There is something here that you need to auction at today's auction. Please make arrangements!"
As a direct descendant of the Solem family, Caroline's position in this shop is of course very useful, so she directly explained it to the auctioneer.
With that said, Caroline picked up the five notes that Gervais had written and handed them to the auctioneer's hand.
"Miss Caroline, is this the note?"
The auctioneer originally thought there were some precious items to be auctioned, so Caroline was willing to temporarily add the items to the auction.
But when the host saw the five notes handed over by Caroline, he was a little confused. What was so special about this note? If it fell on the ground, no one would pick it up, right? And the words written on it were a bit confusing.
baffling.
This is a place that treats the auction house of Snowland Manor as a child’s play!
"Ms. Caroline, will doing this..."
"Don't worry about it, just do as I say later!"
Caroline directly blocked the auctioneer's words, and then turned her attention to Gervais.
"If you have anything to say, you can tell the auctioneer now!"
"When you auction later, you just need to show these words to everyone! But you must let them look carefully. At the very least, you must ensure that everyone has enough time to see it. I understand.
?"
Gervais did not hesitate and explained it directly to the auctioneer in front of everyone.
"Understood!"
What Gervais explained is not anything special. Of course, the items in the auction must be clearly seen by the guests. After all, they spend money to bid. The more they understand and the more they like it, the higher the bidder will bid. What their snowy manor can get
