The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 561

Wyatt's condition was somewhat over the top. However, as someone who had made it into the real estate industry and become a significant business owner, Wyatt didn't see anything wrong with his proposition. A small fry like Sebastian was hardly a challenge for him.

Wyatt's demand was indeed excessive, and of course, Sebastian was not willing to comply. Displaying clear dissatisfaction, he stated, “Wyatt, isn’t this a bit too much?”

"If you think it’s too much, you don’t have to take my money! If you find it unreasonable, then let’s not discuss it any further. I won't even give you the five million, and even if you beg me for the ninety-five million, not even at three percent daily interest will I lend it to you!"

"Wyatt, don’t be like that! I was wrong; can I just agree with you?” Sebastian hastily capitulated, his fear evident. If it weren't for the chance to win a billion from that country boy, he would never allow Wyatt to push him around like this. Sebastian had his pride too, after all!

"See, that wasn’t so hard! If you'd had this attitude earlier, we wouldn’t have wasted so much time. We would have already won the money from that country boy."

Wyatt patted Sebastian on the shoulder and gently reminded him, “Sebastian, we're old classmates. Among all our peers, I'm the most successful. So what I say goes. Don’t go against me, and don’t try to set terms with me. Take what I give you and don’t get greedy!”

"Yes, yes!" Sebastian nodded repeatedly while agreeing.

"You’re right, Wyatt! From now on, I'll listen to you! I promise never to oppose you again. Whatever you say, I'll follow; however much you give, I'll take."

Having tamed Sebastian, Wyatt turned his attention to Jessica.

"Jessica, you've heard everything. This country boy is betting against us three, and I'm staking two billion, while Maya and Sebastian are each putting up one billion. That’s four billion in total. Are you still willing to put up money for this country boy to bet?"

"Daniel is my boyfriend, and if it makes him happy, I'm willing to bet for him. It's just four billion—I can afford to play."

Jessica's casual response evoked a triumphant smirk from Maya.

"Hmm!"

After smirking, she coldly asked, "Jessica, you only run a small company; can you really come up with four billion?"

"Whether I can pull together that much money is none of your business," Jessica replied icily.

"Jessica, I know what you’re thinking. You must be assuming that this country boy, having won big in the last round, will win again. So, you want to borrow money to let him bet, hoping he'll win another four billion for you. After all, with your small company, you only net about a hundred thousand a year. Winning four billion is more than you could earn in your lifetime! But have you considered, what if the country boy loses this round, and you lose four billion? You would be indebted for your whole life! Even if you sold yourself, you could never repay the four billion he loses."
