The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 946

“Come on, Grant! It’s Jade Gambling! I’m not done yet! I’ll keep betting until I win it all back!” Daniel said cheerfully.

“Ha!” Grant smirked coldly. “I’m curious to see how you plan to keep winning.”

“How? You’ve got me a stack of original stones! I’ll just buy them one by one!”

“Country boy, you only have two hundred forty-five thousand. Those original stones are all over two hundred thousand. You don’t have the cash to buy even one of them!” Grant pointed at the original stones, each priced between two hundred and two hundred fifty thousand.

These stones had all been appraised, and while they might produce some jade, it would be the worthless kind.

Daniel scanned the stones Grant had pushed his way, realizing they had no real profit potential. He shook his head and smiled, “Grant, I’ve only got two hundred forty-five thousand. I certainly won’t go all in, or if I lose, I’m wiped out! I’d rather pick something cheaper so I can keep playing. That way, if I lose once, I can still come back for a second chance.”

After listening for a while, Grant sneered, “So you’re just scared, huh? Trying to play it safe?”

“Whether I’m scared or not is none of your business, Grant! Besides, isn’t winning more important than being brave? The goal here is to win money. My courage doesn’t really matter!”

With that, Daniel wandered over to the pile of original stones. After browsing for a bit, he picked out one.

Though it wasn’t the second cheapest, it was the fourth cheapest, going for only one hundred ninety-eight thousand.

He pointed at that original stone and cheerfully declared, “I’ll take this one for my second original stone!”

Seeing Daniel choose such a cheap one, Grant’s disappointment was evident. “Country boy, you’re really gutless! You just won forty-five thousand, and now you only pick a stone worth one hundred ninety-eight thousand? Don’t you have any confidence?”

After making the purchase, Daniel smiled, “Even though this original stone is marked at one hundred ninety-eight thousand, once it’s cut open, the jade inside could easily be worth ten times that! That means the jade may be worth at least two million!”

He turned to Grant and asked, “Grant, you missed out on a chance to make thirty thousand before. Now I’m offering you another opportunity to make a million. Want to take it?”

“Ha!” Grant scoffed at Daniel’s words.

After his cold laugh, he disdainfully replied, “So you want me to pay a million for a stone you just bought for one hundred ninety-eight thousand? You think I’m a fool who will just hand over cash like that? You think I’m completely brainless?”
