chapter 164
The Understated Dragon Lord
Chapter 164 Who Won?
Soon after, the second stones for both parties were opened. The stone Isaac picked wasnât worth much, but it yielded more than double its investment. The jade, bought for four million, was assessed to be worth around ten million after appraisal. As for Danielâs second stone, once again, nothing was found.
With only one stone left for each, the conclusion seemed predictable, and Andrew
took pride like a victorious rooster.
âCountry boy, both you and Isaac have opened two stones now. Isaacâs stones total a value of fifteen million. But what about yours? Theyâre worthless! Haha! Worthless! The stones you picked have nothing in them! Haâhaâhaâha!â
Seeing Daniel on the verge of losing made Brittany ecstatic. She leaped at the opportunity to scornfully jeer at him. âCountry boy, youâve lost. Just admit defeat to Andrew and stop struggling. How could you, a mere country bumpkin, ever hope to win against Andrew? Your earlier win was just a fluke, but now your luck has run out!
If you keep this up, your outcome wonât be as simple as just crawling on the ground and barking like a dog and losing a billion. Oh, right, after losing a billion, how will you repay it? You couldnât even clear the debt if you sold yourself!â
What was unfolding was beyond Jessicaâs expectation, who initially believed Daniel
could win. She became a little anxious, but soon she composed herself and approached Isabella. âBeautiful lady, Daniel is my assistant, and I will repay the billion he owes you. However, I canât produce such an amount right now.
I can sign an IOU with you and ask for half a yearâs time; I promise to repay the billion
with interest at the bank loan rate.â
Jessicaâs offer left everyone in shock. Andrew, who had been gloating a moment
ago,
was instantly filled with jealousy towards Daniel. Jessica was willing to pay off
Danielâs debt?
A billion!
Why?
He was just a country boy; what had he done to earn such favor from Jessica?
Andrew couldnât allow Jessica helping Daniel to happenâit was something
completely unacceptable to him. So, he quickly stepped in to remind Isabella. â Beautiful lady, the country boy promised to repay you tonight, and he said heâd repay twenty billion for the ten billion!â
âThank you, Andrew, but donât worry so much! The night isnât over yet; thereâs plenty of time. Even your bet with Daniel is just halfway throughâthe game isnât over. Who wins in the end is still uncertain!â
âEven now, you believe this country boy can win?â
âYes!â
Isabella nodded gently, turned to Jessica with a smile, and confidently replied, â Daniel will win, for sure!â
Even though her tone was soft when she spoke, her confidence was evident.
Jessica knew Isabella was provoking her. Currently, Daniel was temporarily behind by a significant margin, which made her apprehensive. She had approached Isabella to help Daniel alleviate the impending crisis.
