The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 563

Maya had just shouted "three," and before she could continue to "two," Daniel swung his golf club with force.

"Thwack!"

The club struck the ball, producing a dull sound, and the golf ball took flight. After curving beautifully through the air, it landed about one meter from the third hole's cup on an uphill slope.

Normally, considering gravity, the ball would roll away from the hole after landing, but Daniel's powerful swing had given it enough momentum to keep rolling forward.

As the golf ball inched closer to the hole, everyone watching held their breath.

"Stop! Just stop!" Maya shouted.

But the ball, indifferent to her pleas, kept rolling. It veered slightly when it reached the edge of the hole, rolling past it. Seeing this, Wyatt burst into excited laughter.

"The country boy lost! He didn't make a hole-in-one this time! Hahaha... I won, I won two billion!"

Sebastian, equally thrilled, shouted gleefully, "Hahaha... I've won too, I've won! With this billion, I don't have to work under that old geezer Anthony anymore!"

Maya was jumping for joy, but she was even more excited to mock Jessica.

"Jessica, how does it feel? Are you crushed? Your country boy just lost four billion in one go! That's four billion! Not even if you sold yourself, could you come up with that much money, right?

What are you going to do now? Work at a nightclub, letting dirty old men have their way with you for a couple of hundred bucks a time? Hahaha..."

With the three of them indulging in their triumph, Daniel's cheerful reminder came: "Don't celebrate too soon. Didn't you see the golf ball is still rolling? It might just roll into the cup. If it does, it's still a hole-in-one, and I still win!"

Maya scoffed at Daniel's reminder. "Haha!"

After scoffing, she pointed at the golf ball, which was rolling slower but still in motion.

"Country boy, take a good look. Sure, the ball is still rolling and indeed rolling back, but right below it, there's a dip. It’s about to roll right into it and won't be able to come out."

As soon as Maya finished speaking, the ball plopped into the dip and started spinning in place. Maya burst into laughter upon seeing it.

"See? Didn't I tell you? I said the ball would roll into that pit and wouldn't come out. I was right, wasn't I? Country boy, you've lost. Just admit defeat!"

"But according to the rules, Maya, as long as that ball is still rolling and hasn’t stopped, it's not over. What if it rolls out of the dip and then into the hole?"
