The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 128

New York Martial United? This made Daniel chuckle, though he chose not to continue the conversation. His focus was on his lobster, which was quickly cooling down — it needed to be enjoyed while hot for the best flavor.

Andrew paid no further attention to Daniel. An insignificant assistant wasn’t worth his concern.

“Jessica, since you’re here at the Prospera Group's Unusual Stones Exhibition, why not take a chance and play?” Andrew asked.

“Play what?”

“This so-called exhibition is actually a Jade Gambling event.”

“I'm not interested.”

“You’re here already, Jessica. You might as well play a few rounds. It would be a waste to come and not participate at all.”

“I said I'm not interested.”

Jessica reiterated her rejection, looking to disengage from Andrew. That’s when Daniel stepped forward, his expression serious.

“Actually, I want to give it a try.”

“Your assistant? With what wages, do you think you can afford it?” Jessica chided.

Brittany was dumbfounded and quickly intervened to stop Jessica, “Jessica, ten million isn’t a small amount! How can you let this country boy waste it? He doesn’t understand Jade Gambling. He'll surely lose it all tonight!”

Jessica's expression darkened. “Are you trying to tell me what to do?”

Brittany fell silent but cast a resentful glance at Daniel, coldly cautioning, “Didn’t you say you can turn one million into ten million? Jessica gave you ten million, so you better end tonight with a billion! If you can’t manage that, I would resign if I were you.”

“I’m not bluffing; I’m serious. Since Jessica trusts me with ten million, I have to bring back at least ten times that amount!”

Daniel found Jade Gambling simple and risk-free. The task was to choose stone containing jade from a pile of ordinary ones. But with the dragon spirit inside him, he could sense the presence of valuable materials without even touching the stones — a mere proximity was enough to confirm their worth.
