The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 565

Seeing the three of them freeze in place, displaying expressions as if they'd just plummeted from heavenly bliss into a dark abyss, Daniel couldn't help but chuckle. "That's fate for you!" he beamed. "You see? I've done so many good deeds that God decided to help me out. A wicked gust of wind blew my ball, which wasn't supposed to make it, right into the hole. God has indeed been kind to me!"

Jessica playfully nudged Daniel, smiling, "You idiot, it's a good thing you got lucky and didn't let me down. The money you won, leave it with me for safekeeping."

"Safekeeping? Is that what you call it?"

"What else would it be?"

"If it was really safekeeping, you'd give it back. But have you ever? Every time money ends up with you for 'safekeeping,' it disappears."

"Disappear? I'll kill you!"

Irritated, Jessica gave Daniel a good pinch.

"Ow! Ow, ow!"

Daniel's joyful yelps of pain echoed as the couple basked in the joy of their win. In stark contrast, the three losers wore increasingly sour expressions.

After a moment to regroup, Wyatt was the first to speak up. "Country boy, if you've got the guts, you won't back out. Keep gambling with me!"

"Back out? How?" Daniel asked with a chuckle.
