The Understated Dragon Lord
Chapter 966 The Second Time

"Aaron, you're the expert here! Is this jade Golden Jade or not? Swear on your reputation! If you're lying, God will punish you!"

Daniel's words instantly made Aaron feel a bit awkward. He had placed a bet with Daniel, and he didn't want to lose. If he admitted that this Golden Jade was indeed what it claimed to be, he would lose half the wager! He hadn't examined the jade closely enough to see if it was worth the $8 million. But from the first glance, he felt that something wasn't quite right.

Aaron hesitated before answering and turned to Grant for support.

Grant noticed Aaron's gaze and coldly reminded him, "Aaron, you need to make sure about this! This is about your reputation! It's your name on the line." Grant's words made Aaron think hard.

Was that punishment from God just a fluke? If something like that happened once, it couldn't possibly happen again soon, right?

With that thought, Aaron steeled

himself and faced Daniel. "You may

think this looks golden and resembles Golden Jade, but it's definitely not! So you lose, and you owe me and Grant an apology."

Daniel chuckled, his voice chilly as he replied, "Aaron, you better not be lying! If you do, you'll experience God's punishment again. I suggest you take another good look at this jade. After all, your reputation as an expert is worth more than this bet, right? If you don't care about your reputation and want to take the risk of lying, feel free. But remember, you're the one who will pay the price, not me."

With that, Daniel handed the jade back to Aaron, giving him another chance to tell the truth. Would Aaron take it? That was anyone's guess.

So, the chance was there. Whether Aaron was smart enough to seize it was entirely up to him.

Daniel's words made Aaron hesitate again. He picked up the Golden Jade and scrutinized it more closely. At first, he thought it was just a piece of decent Golden Jade, but after more careful examination, he was shocked.

This jade didn't seem ordinary. Was it alive?

As he looked closer, it felt as if the jade held some kind of life.
