The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 939

“Yep!” Isla nodded. “I’m giving this country bumpkin the money for Jade Gambling!”

Grant was dumbfounded, struggling to find words. “Mom, are you crazy? You’re really handing a million to this country bumpkin for gambling? Does he even know how to gamble? He’s just a clueless village fool! Giving him a million is pure waste!”

“Even if it is a waste, I still want to! Who are you to question me? This is my money!” Isla shot back.

“I’m not just giving him a million; he’s got to get one from you too! Altogether that’s two million. If he wins, we split it down the middle. If he dares to lose, we’ll punish him!”

Isla said this casually, but Daniel took it seriously. Being punished by two sophisticated women? He couldn’t imagine what that would entail!

“Sure, Mom, if that’s what makes you happy!” Grant grumbled, his annoyance targeting Daniel.

However, there was a silver lining. Grant had also invested in the gambling. Those original stones were worth a fortune—after expenses, he stood to make at least a billion.

Naturally, each stone had been thoroughly evaluated by experts, and he knew exactly what they were worth.

Daniel only had two million, meaning he could only buy stones from the lower-value market. None of those stones would return a profit.

Whatever he picked would yield virtually nothing! No matter which stone he bought, its value would barely exceed the purchase price.
