The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 953

After saying that, Daniel pulled the Heliotrope from the basin.

A brilliant crimson light shot out, dazzling everyone and nearly blinding them. In that moment, it shone brighter than rubies!

Grant, standing the closest, was nearly blinded by the glowing Heliotrope.

He rubbed his eyes for a moment before they finally adjusted. Meanwhile, the jade returned to its normal color, no longer sparkling but still a deep red, looking as if it were a bleeding heart.

Grant stared in disbelief at the Heliotrope in Daniel’s hands. “What on Earth did you just do? How did you turn this into something else?”

Then it hit Grant. “Wait! I figured it out. You were pretending to wash the Heliotrope with vodka. But you secretly added dye to turn it red! You made a worthless rock look blood-red!”

“Grant, did you just say I dyed the Heliotrope?” Daniel laughed.

“Of course! If you hadn’t added dye, it would look like before!”

Deep down, Grant was convinced of his theory. There was no way that stone could look like this without help.

Daniel pushed the Heliotrope closer to Grant.

“I want you to touch it!”

Grant was taken aback. “Touch it? Why?”

“Don't you want to see this so-called dye for yourself? If it really is dyed, your fingers will turn blood red when you touch it!”

“Fine! I’ll touch it and prove you wrong!”

Convinced Daniel had colored the Heliotrope, Grant reached out and touched it. He was sure this would reveal the truth, exposing Daniel's trick.

But as he touched the stone, he was shocked to find his fingers perfectly clean. There wasn’t a trace of red, not even a hint of dye!

Maybe he hadn’t pressed hard enough…? Grant quickly extended his finger toward the Heliotrope again, giving it a solid push.
