The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 573

Wyatt sat across the table, a playful look on his face as he spoke. "Words alone don't prove sincerity, Wyatt. If you really want the formula for The Seven White Cream, you're going to have to show some real commitment!"

"What kind of commitment are you expecting me to make?" Wyatt asked, raising an eyebrow in amusement.

"You just promised me a billion dollars on the spot. Now, I won't ask for that much. Just give me half a billion to start with so I can take on this country boy in a bet. He won one from me; I need to win at least five times that amount back!"

"So, you want me to give you half a billion just like that? Even if I were to agree, I would need the formula for The Seven White Cream first!" Wyatt firmly refused.

"If that's your stance, Wyatt, then I guess we have nothing left to talk about. It seems I'll have to offer the formula to someone else." Sebastian's tone was much firmer than before – he had the upper hand.

Sebastian knew very well the worth of The Seven White Cream's formula. He was aware that it could make Wyatt billions, maybe even hundreds of billions of dollars. So, he believed if he held his ground, Wyatt would eventually cave in; he was sure of it.

"Sebastian, I can only lend you one billion max. Take it or leave it!" Wyatt was no fool; he wouldn’t be easily intimidated by Sebastian.

With that, Wyatt turned to Daniel and said, "Country boy, let’s get started. If Sebastian’s sitting this round out, it’ll just be you and me."

Upon hearing this, Sebastian became anxious. "Wyatt, I'll take that billion! Lend it to me first! Let me play against this country bumpkin and win back what I lost."

...

The money was transferred to a monitored account, and a new round began. Daniel grabbed his golf club and swung hard.

"Bang!"

The ball soared into the air in a beautiful parabola before landing with a 'plunk' straight into the hole. Another hole-in-one! The spectators were already crying over their losses, and here was Daniel, winning yet again.

It’s one thing to lose once or twice, but four times in a row? This was unbelievable! The country boy's streak of luck was impossible.

A furious Wyatt pointed at Daniel's nose and bellowed, "You sneaky little cheat! You’ve rigged the game to take our money! You’ve got to cough up every dime you won, with interest, doubled!"

Wyatt's reaction left Daniel startled. He looked at Wyatt incredulously and chuckled, "Hold on, Wyatt. What do you mean by that? Are you being a sore loser and looking for an excuse? I won that money fair and square. Just because you demand it back, I'm supposed to return it?"

"Country boy, do you know where you are? Whose turf this is? This is the golf club of The Perkins! You cheat and swindle money from us here, you’re insulting The Perkins! You're insulting the top family in the USA, The Perkins!" Wyatt was clearly using The Perkins' name to intimidate Daniel and to turn the situation to his own advantage.
