The Understated Dragon Lord
Chapter 948 The Challenge

Then Daniel continued, "I just wanted to remind Grant that next time you have a deal like this, you could call me. My fees might even be lower than Aaron's. But, my skills are better than his. If it were up to me, you wouldn't be losing over and over like you are now. I can only imagine how much you're missing out on tonight!"

Aaron was furious at Daniel's comments. He pointed a finger angrily at him. "What the hell are you saying, country boy? You questioning my skills? Are you saying I'm not as good as you? Do you even realize I'm an expert? If I'm second in stone appraisal, then who the heck is first? You really think you can challenge me?"

Daniel looked at Aaron, grinning. "Aaron, stone appraisal isn't about boasting-it's about capability! After all, once the original stone is analyzed, it has to be cut open. Whether or not there's jade inside doesn't depend on how much you can brag about it. If there's no jade, then no amount of hot air will change that fact. Conversely, if there is jade, it won't just disappear no matter how much you try to deny it. You can't change the truth!"

"Of course it isn't about boasting! It's all about ability!" Aaron challenged by pointing at Daniel's original stone. "So, country boy, you said the second original stone you bought can yield jade worth two hundred thousand-is that right?"

"Yup!" Daniel nodded affirmatively.

"Then let's make a bet," Aaron proposed.

"What are the rules?" Daniel asked.

"You say that this original stone's jade is worth two hundred thousand.

If it turns out that it is worth they?

much, you win. If it doesn't, you lose," Aaron explained.

"And if I lose?" Daniel inquired.

"If you lose, you kneel and admit your defeat. If I lose, I'll kneel and admit my defeat!"

Aaron knew Daniel didn't have any money, so he didn't want to gamble over cash. His real intention was to humiliate Daniel and ease his own frustrations! én.swnovels.net

Upon hearing this, Daniel couldn't help but laugh. "Alright! I accept! Let's do it!"

After agreeing, he added, "But Aaron, since this bet was your idea, you better not backtrack if you lose!"

"Backtrack? Ha!" Aaron scoffed, "I live by my word! Integrity is my foundation; I won't back out!"

"Alright then, let's make it official.

Once I cut open this original stone, if the jade inside is worth more than two hundred thousand, you'll lose and have to admit defeat!" Daniel confirmed cheerfully.
