Unrivaled Dragon Lord
Chapter 46: Blood Diamond!

Greta turned her head. Many guests also heard the sound and then saw Maxwell approaching. Maxwell intimately held Greta's arm, which made Greta stunned for a few seconds.

All the guests were stunned as well. They all felt complicated toward Maxwell. Maxwell was absolutely brave that he could do such an intimate thing to Greta in front of Young Master Sandoval. How hotheaded he was! How did he dare to ignore Young Master Sandoval!

When some political officials and business leaders in Ocean City saw this scene, they all curled their lips into a cheeky smile waiting for something interesting happening.

It seemed that there would be a good 'show'.

The way Maxwell held Greta's arm was so natural and intimate that it made others feel that they did such a thing thousands of times already.

Suddenly the atmosphere in the banquet hall changed, adding a hint of tension.

Greta turned her head and stared at this annoying 'man' with her beautiful eyes. Young Master Sandoval showed affection to her seconds ago, and then he showed up like this right away! What exactly did he want to do?

Didn't he see that she already had so many troubles? Did he plan to add more?

Young Master Sandoval held the goblet in his hand. Watching this intimate and ambiguous scene, his feelings gradually became complicated...

Young Master Sandoval was thinking: The way Maxwell showed up was absolutely humiliating him. I clearly wanted to marry Greta. Did this guy appear to declare his relationship with Greta?

Sandoval gazed at Maxwell. At the same time, in his heart, he was disdainful at Maxwell. He was thinking: This disgusting bastard was not worthy to be up against me!

"Yeah, you are... Young Master Sandoval? You are so famous and successful that I heard so much about you. Finally today I got the honor to see you in person. You look so well." Maxwell laughed and picked up the wine glass, then tried to touch Sandoval's.

Sandoval stared at Maxwell. No one knew what he was thinking about.

Maxwell's wine glass was raised in midair, but Sandoval didn't reach out his to collide with Maxwell's.

It was getting so awkward. Maxwell narrowed his eyes, thinking: it was interesting...

"I don't drink with people who are not well educated," Sandoval spoke lightly. Then he suddenly loosened his grip on the wine glass. It fell on the floor and splashed into pieces.

Greta frowned. The whole banquet hall was quiet. Sandoval's behavior meant he didn't want to show any respect to him.

Many people got stunned. Smart people could tell already that Maxwell will screw up today.

Maxwell drank the wine bottom-up, and then he put his hands in his trouser pockets, looking at Sandoval with no impression.

"Miss Greta, this is my first time to come to Ocean City. Please forgive me if I have offended you. Please accept this little gift as my apology." Sandoval clapped his hands, and then there was a waiter walking slowly from the crowd, holding a silver plate with a delicate and luxurious sandalwood box.

Many guests were in an uproar. The sandalwood box alone was very expensive. It was hard to imagine what kind of gift it was to use such an expensive box?!

Greta gently shook her head, and politely refused, "Young Master Sandoval, it is my honor to come to your dinner party. But I really can't accept this generous gift."

Sandoval smiled slightly, "Greta, no one can suit more of this gift than you in the whole world."

After saying so, Sandoval opened the sandalwood box. There was a crystal clear, extremely dazzling blood diamond embedded in the sponge, which made the whole banquet get into chaos. Seeing such a dazzling priceless diamond, many of them could feel they were even out of breath and their heartbeats got faster.

Blood diamond! That was a big uncut blood diamond!

Greta got so shocked that she couldn't even hold her impression properly.

It was not an ordinary diamond. It was a blood diamond. It was so priceless that it couldn't be valued by money!

In an instant, countless people stared at the blood diamond. The banquet hall was quiet. Everyone looked at Sandoval with great admiration and consternation!

They couldn't believe that Young Master Sandoval would give Greta such an expensive gift.

That was what Young Master Sandoval would do. If he did something, it must be out of everyone's expectation.

The way everyone looked at Young Master Sandoval was different now. At this moment, they realized what Young Master Sandoval said before was not a joke. He actually took it seriously.

Among the crowd, a chairman of a jewelry company stared at the blood diamond, trembling all over, and breathing fast. "Three years ago, I went to an auction in South Africa. It was this certain blood diamond on the auction. In the end, it was taken away by a mysterious buyer at a price of tens of billions of dollars. After then, no one heard anything about this blood diamond anymore. Unexpectedly, it was Young Master Sandoval who bought the diamond..."

"Among all the diamonds, the colored diamonds are the most precious. On average, for every 100,000 diamonds, there is only a colored diamond. And the blood diamonds are the kings of colored diamonds. They only exist in legends. Surprisingly, Young Master Sandoval's gift is a blood diamond. He is giving a gift as worthy as an island!"

Everyone started talking more and more. Countless people couldn't help staring at the blood diamond, feeling jealous. How generous Young Master Sandoval was!

Greta looked at this crystal clear blood diamond that reflected the endless brilliance. She was completely shocked in her heart. She looked at Sandoval feeling dazed and alert. She was puzzled. She was not sure what he wanted. Sandoval came from Beijing which is thousands of miles away. His purpose was definitely not as simple as marrying her for profit. Since the beginning of the dinner, it was full of weirdness, which made Greta feel unsecured.

Even in front of this big temptation, Greta was still restrained. She pursed her red lips, and said with her beautiful voice, "Young Master Sandoval, I really can't accept this kind of gift. It is so generous of you. But I can't accept it."

Everyone was shocked, even Young Master Sandoval's expression changed slightly. He looked at Greta feeling complicated... He did not expect that Greta would refuse.

This blood diamond was enough to make the entire Ocean City into turmoil. And Greta just gave it up.

"Hey, this diamond is big enough, but it's a pity that the color doesn't look good." Maxwell looked at the blood diamond and said with surprise.

The banquet hall was silent at this moment. Everyone heard what Maxwell said. When they looked at Maxwell, their eyes were full of disdain.

"If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. The color of the blood diamond is the purest of all diamonds. Where did this hillbilly come from?"

"Look what you are wearing. Most probably you didn't even have seen gold, how dare you to judge the blood diamond? Blood diamonds are the most precious diamonds in the world. Who gives you the right to comment on it? Shit!"

"You can't afford the value of the blood diamond even if you work for tens of thousands of years. Don't you feel ashamed standing right here?"

Many leaders of successful businessmen looked so angry. Maxwell was tarnishing the treasure of the jewelry industry.

Young Master Sandoval smiled lightly, making others feel calm and enjoyable, "Indeed, I also think this blood diamond is quite normal, but I don't have anything more valuable on me. Does Mr. Maxwell know about diamonds?"

Maxwell smiled lightly, "I don't know much, only a little bit."

As soon as Maxwell said this, Greta's expression was changed. She held Maxwell's arm and suddenly pinched the flesh on his palm.

Greta had already given him a heads-up before they came here to warn him to keep silent. And now obviously he wanted to talk more and more!

Greta bit her teeth tightly. She regretted so much. If no one was watching them, she would grab Maxwell's ear and drag him outside to give him a lesson already!

Greta pinched him with great force and stared at him to give him a warning. However, when Greta left his hand, her hand already sweat, but his expression still remained the same.

Young Master Sandoval looked at Maxwell and smiled calmly, "Mr. Maxwell, you are the first person who can stay calm seeing this blood diamond I have ever seen."

Just now, Young Master Sandoval had been observing Maxwell. When Maxwell saw this blood diamond, he was so calm, which was even hard to do for Sandoval himself.

"Mr. Maxwell, did you ever buy diamonds for Miss Greta?" Young Master Sandoval looked at Maxwell meaningfully and asked slowly.

"She wanted to buy it for me, but I didn't take it." Maxwell narrowed his eyes slightly and said it with a light smile.

There was a commotion around, and all the people laughed with disdain. Maxwell looked either young or handsome. How shameless he was to say so! He was definitely just working for Miss Greta.

Many successful people couldn't hold their laughter when they heard what Maxwell said. They thought that Maxwell had an affair with Greta. Now it was obvious that he had no chance to compete with Young Master Sandoval.

This man who could only brag had become a joke at this dinner party.
