The Understated Dragon Lord
chapter 164

Chapter 164 Who Won? 

Soon after, the second stones for both parties were opened. The stone Isaac picked wasn’t 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 Daniel’s 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. 

“Country boy, both you and Isaac have opened two stones now. Isaac’s stones total a value of fifteen million. But what about yours? They’re worthless! Haha! Worthless! The stones you picked have nothing in them! Ha–ha–ha–ha!” 

Seeing Daniel on the verge of losing made Brittany ecstatic. She leaped at the opportunity to scornfully jeer at him. “Country boy, you’ve 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 won’t 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 couldn’t even clear the debt if you sold yourself!” 

What was unfolding was beyond Jessica’s expectation, who initially believed Daniel 

could win. She became a little anxious, but soon she composed herself and approached Isabella. “Beautiful lady, Daniel is my assistant, and I will repay the billion he owes you. However, I can’t produce such an amount right now. 

I can sign an IOU with you and ask for half a year’s time; I promise to repay the billion 

with interest at the bank loan rate.” 

Jessica’s 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 

Daniel’s debt? 

A billion! 

Why? 

He was just a country boy; what had he done to earn such favor from Jessica? 

Andrew couldn’t allow Jessica helping Daniel to happen–it was something 

completely unacceptable to him. So, he quickly stepped in to remind Isabella. ” Beautiful lady, the country boy promised to repay you tonight, and he said he’d repay twenty billion for the ten billion!” 

“Thank you, Andrew, but don’t worry so much! The night isn’t over yet; there’s plenty of time. Even your bet with Daniel is just halfway through–the game isn’t over. Who wins in the end is still uncertain!” 

“Even now, you believe this country boy can win?” 

“Yes!” 

Isabella nodded gently, turned to Jessica with a smile, and confidently replied, ” Daniel will win, for sure!” 

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.
