The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 167

Seeing the potential for another clash between the two women, Daniel quickly stepped in to shift the focus. He looked at Andrew, all smiles, and said, "Andrew, as I mentioned before, I will allow Isaac to pick an additional stone without any price limit, and I won't go back on my word."

"What do you mean?"

"As long as Isaac can find a stone among the remaining ones that contains a jade valued at ten billion, he can still win against me."

Isaac quickly stepped up, pointing at the stone priced at 8.8 billion, and said to Andrew seriously, "Andrew, that stone, I am certain, contains top-quality Imperial Green, even better than what this country boy has found. Its value is definitely over ten billion."

Coming to his senses, Andrew was beyond furious. He pointed at Isaac's nose and yelled, "You’re useless! You can’t even beat a country boy, how dare you call yourself the King of Jade Gambling?"

"Andrew, please calm down, I haven't lost yet. Just trust me one more time, and I can win against him."

"Trust you one more time? You mean for me to pull out another 8.8 billion for you?"

"Andrew, while that stone is priced at 8.8 billion, it does have the potential to yield the best quality Imperial Green! And not just any Imperial Green, but one worth over ten billion.

Andrew, if you're reluctant to put in the 8.8 billion, then the ten billion you've put into the joint account will be lost to that country boy.

And if you invest that 8.8 billion, not only will you win jade worth ten billion, but you'll also get to take the twenty billion in the joint account."

Even though the math was simple, and Isaac explained it in detail, Andrew knew what he had to do, but his anger was palpable.
