The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 947 The Details

“Grant, how could I possibly think of you as a fool? I'm genuinely giving you a chance—a chance to make a million!" Daniel flashed a wide grin, looking almost as if he were trying to convince Grant of something ridiculous. But he wasn't lying.

"I don't want your chance to make a million!" Grant shot back coldly, turning to Aaron. "Aaron, this country bumpkin claims his original stone can yield a jade worth two hundred thousand. What do you think?"

Instead of responding directly, Aaron turned to Daniel, asking, "Do you mind if I take a look at that original stone?"

"Of course!" Daniel handed over the stone without hesitation.

Aaron inspected the original stone carefully, scanning it from top to bottom and left to right several times. He quickly concluded that Daniel's luck, rather than skill, was the reason for his previous success.

As Aaron returned the original stone, Grant eagerly asked, "Well? Did you see anything? Can this original stone really yield jade worth two hundred thousand?"

Aaron shook his head firmly. "No way!"Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

"What? Then what do you think it can yield?" Grant pressed further.

Aaron pointed at the stone's surface and said in an authoritative tone, "You can tell a lot from the surface patterns of the original stone. That's what we call the details! Looking at this stone, there are no signs of hidden jade at all. Therefore, this original stone cannot yield jade worth two hundred thousand! Even if his luck continues, any jade that comes from this stone wouldn't

even be valued at twenty thousand!"

Aaron was being conservative with that twenty thousand estimate. If he weren't worried about his reputation, he might have said there wouldn't be even two hundred dollars' worth of jade in it. The two thousand estimate was to protect his credibility as an expert.

Hearing Aaron's confidence, Grant

felt a surge of satisfaction. He

looked at Daniel and taunted, "Did you hear that? Aaron just said your original stone can yield at most twenty thousand in jade. You bought it for twenty thousand-that means you lost your money!"

"Grant, you didn't have Aaron evaluate every one of these original stones, did you? After all, in a gambling game like this, you would want to make money, and as much as possible. So wouldn't you need to have each original stone checked first and then price based on the evaluations?"

At this, Grant just smirked dismissively. "What's it to you, country boy?"

Daniel chuckled and said, “Of course, it's none of my business!"
