The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 163

Chapter 163 Luck Runs Out 

Amid the crowd’s chatter, the themes were clear: praise Andrew and trample Daniel. Every man in New York despised Daniel, wishing they could smash this country boy 

to a pulp for receiving such favor from the city’s top beauty. 

Then Andrew stepped forward, filled with pride like a victor among roosters after Isaac’s first pick washed away any prior indignity. 

“Everyone! Let’s quiet down! Let’s see what this country boy’s stones are like first. What if they turn out to be worth more than five million?” 

As soon as Andrew finished, the crowd burst into boisterous laughter. Once they had 

their laughs, they began to discuss among themselves. 

“That country boy got lucky last time; I don’t believe his luck will hold!” 

“If this country boy’s stone turns out to be worth more than five million, I’ll eat that rock myself.” 

“Eating a rock is so uninteresting. How about you live–stream yourself doing a handstand while taking a dump?” 

“Damn! Can you guys not discuss such disgusting things? There’s lobster and king crab over there for the taking. Can’t you say something less appetite–killing?” 

After the clamor settled, Daniel brought forward the most expensive stone he had picked, priced at two million. 

“Cut this one,” Daniel instructed the staff. 

Andrew glanced at the stone’s price tag, smugly guessing Daniel’s intentions.” Country boy, I know what game you’re playing. You took out the most expensive stone in your hand to compare with the cheapest of Isaac’s. If yours is worth more, fair enough, but if not, I think you can concede right now!” 

“How can a country boy understand your thoughts, Andrew? He will only get it after he’s lost all his money!” Brittany couldn’t resist adding her comment. 

Without delay, the staff member took the electric saw to the stone Daniel had 

chosen. After the buzzing stopped, the two–million–valued stone was split in two The inside revealed absolutely nothing–just a valueless stone. 

Andrew had been worried that Daniel’s luck might be too good, but upon seeing the cut stone, he laughed.
