The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 936

Then Isla scoffed at Daniel, “What did you say? You want to join the Jade Gambling with just a hundred bucks?”

"Why not a hundred bucks?" Daniel shot back.

Isla rolled her eyes, “The cheapest original stone outside costs tens of thousands. Jade Gambling for just a hundred bucks? Do you think you're buying donkey dung in the village or something?"

“Come on, Isla! Are you saying a hundred bucks isn’t enough? Is that making you feel ashamed? You can't afford it, can you?” she teased.

“Can't afford it? Who said I can’t? Sure, I don’t have the cash, but my mom does!”

As soon as he said that, Daniel turned to Avery with a cheeky grin, “Hey Mom, can you lend me a million bucks? I want to have some fun!”

“Are you kidding me?” Avery spat back, looking utterly unimpressed. “Why would I lend you a million dollars?”

“Because you’re my mom! I've called you 'Mom' so many times. You even owe me my prize money! Was that all for nothing? Plus, it’s a loan! I’ll pay you back two million later. How’s that?”

Daniel’s proposal earned him a scoff from Isla.

“Ha!”

After that derisive laugh, Isla mocked, “Really? You think you can borrow a million from your mother-in-law and promise to double it back? You’re dreaming! After you gamble, let’s see if you even have two bucks left! Once you start betting, you’ll lose everything! People like you, fresh from the countryside, have no idea when to stop. You’ll definitely lose!”

“Isla, don’t you know? Guys like me have divine protection, so my luck is incredible! I never lose!” Daniel replied confidently.

This got him another cold laugh from Isla.

“Ha!”

After her scoff, Isla asked, “You really think luck is all there is to Jade Gambling? Even if you hit the jackpot today, you won’t win! Jade Gambling isn’t about luck; it’s about skill! If it were all luck, everyone would be a millionaire!”

“Of course gambling is about luck! Just like when I play poker in the village. I always get the best cards, and no matter how good the others are, they can’t beat me. Even if someone’s skilled, it doesn't matter in front of my amazing luck!”

Daniel then looked at Isla, “How about you invest in me?

“Invest in you?” Isla raised an eyebrow. “What do you mean by that?”

“Just lend me a million bucks for Jade Gambling. If I win, we split the profits. If I lose, it’s on you!”
