The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 358

Aiden was still fuming—this country boy had the nerve to dismiss her!

"Aiden, is our bet still on?" Daniel asked with a chuckle.

"Yes, of course, it's on! Even though you're a jerk, your money's real. I’m betting with you because of the cash in your account," Aiden replied.

Pointing to a row of shelves on the left, she said, "But you can only pick from this row."

Aiden wasn't one to suffer a loss easily. She had directed him to a shelf filled with common herbs—nothing of significant value. That way, even if she lost the bet, her loss wouldn't be substantial. But deep down, she was confident she wouldn't lose. Even if this country boy had found a high-quality He Shou Wu, it was only worth five million—far from 150 million.

Daniel glanced at the indicated row of shelves and couldn’t help laughing. The very herb he wanted was on that shelf.

Seeing Daniel's laughter, Aiden's suspicion was piqued. "What're you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing at Aiden!"

"At me?" Aiden's face darkened as she snapped, "I knew you were laughing at me! What about?"

"Within your Herbal Loon, there's an herb that's invaluable. One of them is in this stainless steel basin, and the other on the shelf you just pointed out. So, Aiden, if you regret letting me take all your valuable herbs in one fell swoop, you can back out now and point me to a different shelf."

Daniel spoke nothing but the absolute truth but Aiden didn't see it that way. She thought the country bumpkin was bluffing her. So she said with a smile, “Are you trying to trick me, country boy? You think I’m a gullible three-year-old girl?”

"Ah, Aiden, I'm telling the truth and you don’t believe me? It’s hard to be a man, even harder to be an honest and upright one."

"Heh," Aiden couldn't help but let out a cold laugh, then rolled her eyes at Daniel.
