The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 566

Determined, Sebastian immediately turned to Wyatt with an expectant look. "Wyatt, can you lend me another billion?"

Sebastian's request didn't surprise Wyatt much. He understood that, despite Sebastian having lost just now, he certainly didn't accept it. Sebastian would undoubtedly seek to borrow money to turn his fortunes around. The country boy had lucked out three times already; how could he possibly win a fourth?

Therefore, lending to either Maya or Sebastian posed no real risk—it was a safe bet. From the bottom of his heart, Wyatt was prepared to lend.

But of course, money lent must come with strings attached.

Now that Sebastian found himself backed into a corner, Wyatt saw the perfect opportunity to set some terms and score a hefty payoff from him.

Wyatt didn't rush to accept or deny the request and instead asked with slyness reflective of an old fox, "Sebastian, what did you say just now? You want to borrow another billion? You haven't even paid back the billion you borrowed earlier."

It was clear that Wyatt was taking advantage of the situation, but Sebastian couldn't argue.

Sebastian steeled his resolve. "Wyatt, if you'll lend me another billion, I wouldn't mind calling you 'dad.'"

Sebastian's bold proposal stunned Wyatt. He looked at Sebastian with disbelief, asking incredulously, "What did you say? You're saying if I lend you a billion, you'll call me dad?"

"That's right! As long as you lend me the billion, I’ll call you dad right away!"

Wyatt burst out laughing.

After his laughter subsided, he turned to Maya, "Look at how sensible Sebastian is—lends him a billion and he calls me daddy. What about you, Maya? Will you give it a try?"

Being an astute and spirited woman, Maya fully understood what it meant to call someone 'daddy.' She knew Wyatt was just trying to take advantage of her. But she wouldn't directly refuse.

Maya looked at Wyatt, feigning sweetness, "Wyatt, you want me to call you daddy for just a billion? That's not nearly enough. If you give me another billion for free, without having to pay it back, then maybe I'll consider it!"

"Just give you a billion? Maya, although you're a beautiful woman and quite pretty, that doesn't warrant such a ludicrous sum! No matter if your... charm is gilded with gold or studded with diamonds, it's not worth a billion. Even at the going market rate, we can find someone with your allure for just ten thousand. Don't you think your billion is a little over the top?"

Wyatt's remarks made Maya feel insulted. She visibly darkened and asked, "What do you mean, Wyatt?"

"Nothing much! Just the literal sense! I'm just reminding you, Maya, not to set your price too high. Based on the current market, you're not worth that much!"
