The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 147

Jessica's words stunned Brittany, who looked at her incredulously and asked, “Jessica, do you really believe this country boy can win? How could he possibly win? Henry was brought here by Andrew; he would never spend twenty million on the Blood Jade. He himself said it’s not worth that much!”

"Daniel is my assistant. If I don't believe in him, who should I believe?" replied Jessica.

Brittany rolled her eyes in frustration at Jessica’s response, though she didn't dare lash out since she was talking to her boss. Instead, she softly suggested, "Jessica, this bet the country boy made with Andrew, he’s sure to lose! A hundred percent! And if he loses, how will he repay you those twenty million? No, you also want interest, so that’s thirty million. Plus the fifteen million he already owes you, that's forty-five million in total. Even if you sold him, he wouldn't fetch that much, right?”

“He won't lose.”

“And what if he does? If he loses and can't repay you, what will you do?”

"If he loses, then he'll work for The Matthews Organization for the rest of his life!"

"Dear Jessica, that's forty-five million! He'll never earn that much in his lifetime, you know that!"

"If that's the case, I’ll have him work for me in the next life too!"

Rendered speechless, Brittany could only turn to Daniel. “Country boy, you boasted about selling that Blood Jade to Henry for twenty million, right? The stage is yours, start your show.”

All eyes were fixed on Daniel, waiting to see the country boy’s embarrassment.

Brittany was the first to react, with a cold chuckle. "Heh!"

Assuming an air of having seen through the ruse, she mocked Daniel. “Country boy, are you performing a magic trick? Did you put something on the Blood Jade, so that when you knock them together, they ignite? You don’t seriously think such a crude magic trick could convince Henry to buy your Blood Jade for twenty million, do you?

Henry already said this Blood Jade is worth at most five million. Now, I'd guess it's been destroyed by the fire. Forget five million; I don't think this Jade is even worth five hundred bucks now.

So, stop wasting everyone's time, pay the twenty million to Andrew, and admit defeat!”
