The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 943 Wasted Opportunity

"Grant, I'm not lying to you! I'm serious! I'm really serious! I'm giving you a chance to make money!" Daniel said with such sincerity in his eyes that they sparkled even more than a clear night sky.

"Rube, I honestly don't know if you're just plain dumb! You spent fifty thousand to buy this original stone from me, and then turned around and wanted to sell it back to me for two hundred thousand. That's a clear fifteen thousand profit for doing nothing at all! Meanwhile, I'm the fool who's supposed to fork over fifteen thousand?"Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Grant shot back, "But here's the thing, country boy: I'm not stupid. I see right through your little scheme! So don't even think about getting me to buy that original stone for two hundred thousand. I wouldn't pay even twenty bucks for it! Because that thing is worthless-it isn't even worth a dime!"

With that, Grant rejected Daniel without a second thought.

Daniel had known from the outset that Grant would turn him down. And that was exactly what he wanted! Because once Grant refused, and they cut open the original stone to reveal the jade worth five hundred thousand, Grant would finally understand what regret felt like.

Tonight's Jade Gambling event wasn't just about winning Grant's money; it was about making him so frustrated he'd be furious.

Daniel smiled at Grant, leaning in further. "Grant, I'll give you one last chance. You really don't want to buy this original stone for two hundred thousand? It's a chance to make three hundred thousand! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Are you sure you want to pass?"

"Absolutely!" Grant replied firmly.

"Then hurry up and cut the stone open!" he urged.

“Alright! Let's get to it!” Daniel nodded enthusiastically, handing the original stone to a worker. "Could you cut it in half, please?”

The worker hesitated, grinning as he said, "Sir, cutting open the stone comes with a tip. If you want it sliced in half, that'll be a thousand bucks!"

"A thousand bucks?" Daniel chuckled mischievously, "That's no problem!"

He quickly pulled out his phone and transferred a thousand dollars to the worker.

As soon as he finished, Grant couldn't help but scoff. “What a fool!"

"What do you mean I'm a fool?” Daniel turned to Grant with a grin "You're the one being foolish by passing up a chance to make three hundred thousand!"

"Country boy, this original stone is just a rock: When you cut it open there won't be anything inside! Not only did you waste your fifty thousand, but you just wasted another thousand on that tip!"

As Grant spoke, the worker switched on the saw, buzzing loudly as he sliced the original stone in half.

When the stone was cut open, Grant

couldn't help but laugh, as it looked exactly like the test results

showed-just a plain stone, without a hint of jade!

"Ha ha ha..."

Grant was bursting with glee. "I told you your fifty thousand was wasted! You didn't believe me before, now you do, don't you?"
